Chapter 36: What Happened Under the Moon
"Look for death!"
There was a voice full of sarcasm in the shadows, and he didn't take Zhou Heng's knife in his eyes at all.
A mere sword of a nine-rank martial artist.
It's too weak!
However, at the moment when Zhou Heng's knife came into contact with the "sword" stabbed out of the shadow, the pitch-black spikes that rushed out of the shadow were actually pierced on the spot like tofu!
"You use the martial arts "Dugu Nine Swords: Sword Breaking Style" [Eight Pins] against the enemy, perfectly defuse the enemy's attack of Feng You, and your proficiency is +15. β
Sure enough, it was the one who escaped earlier!
Zhou Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, he flicked the blade to the side!
Sting!
Sword power into a sword!
This pitch-black spike was immediately cut down.
"How is that possible!?"
A voice full of disbelief came from the shadows, shocked.
The perception ability of the ghost thing is very strong, and it can accurately judge Zhou Heng's qi and blood level.
First entry into the ninth grade!
Just a little bit of internal energy!
Normally, it would be impossible for a martial artist in this situation to cause such harm to him.
What's going on!?
"What's impossible!"
Zhou Heng said lightly, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed out twelve knives in a row.
They all hit the shadow on the ground.
Agility +1!
This kind of basic attribute bonus effect is really terrifying.
It is impossible for a normal nine-rank martial artist to have such a sword speed.
It's not easy even for an eight-rank martial artist to do it.
But Zhou Heng did it so easily, and in a blink of an eye, he cut out twelve knives, and cut out a whole set of "Twelve Ways Mountain Splitting Knife Method"!
Rumble!
Boom!!
Zhou Heng's blade carried an extremely terrifying power, and every time the knife fell, not only a sharp edge was cut out, but also a terrifying power like a wrestler opening a mountain, heavy on that shadow!
This caused the originally smooth road surface to burst open, and the ground within a radius of one foot seemed to have been ploughed, and the masonry and stone were all split, and everywhere was torn apart, covered with knife marks, and many places had been split into powder!
Energetic +2!
Such a terrifying power, coupled with Zhou Heng's special attribute of +1 for Yin Spirit Special Attack, directly shook the ghost of Feng You out of the shadow state.
This ghost creature that has escaped from the shadows gathers into a human form, which is exactly the appearance of the money shopkeeper.
Feng Yu is the money shopkeeper!
Or rather, a ghost attached to the money shopkeeper!
However, Feng You, who was beaten out of the shadows, did not panic, the expression on his face became ecstatic, his eyes stared at Zhou Heng, and the saliva in his mouth flowed out.
"Hahaha! You are actually the Soul of the Sun, no wonder you were able to shatter my shadow with that strange secret technique before! Great, great!
"Boy, you're mine!"
It laughed wildly and pounced on Zhou Heng, its hands and fingers into a knife, I don't know what kind of martial arts it performed, and an extremely cold aura suddenly erupted from its body.
Whew!
The cold wind howled, and a pitch-black cold flame ignited on Feng You's palm, and his two fleshy palms were like two pitch-black flame long knives, slashing towards Zhou Heng!
Zheng!
Zhou Heng raised the knife to parry, only to feel that the tiger's mouth hurt, the steel knife in his palm trembled violently, and made a piercing scream, he felt that what he was parrying now was not a pair of fleshy palms, but two giant knives weighing thousands of catties!
If it weren't for the basic attribute of "Vigor +2", he even suspected that he might have been knocked out the moment he came into contact with this pair of fleshy palms.
What a terrifying power!
If it were an ordinary Nine Rank Martial Artist facing such an attack-
It's like rubbing and hurting, and dying next to it!
However, thanks to the special attack on the Yin Spirit, Feng You, who was parried by Zhou Heng's knife, was also uncomfortable.
The pitch-black flames on its palm extinguished the moment it touched the blade, and although the terrifying power did smash into the blade, it also caused ten of his fingers to be cut off.
However, such an injury is completely negligible for ghosts.
After Feng You found that he had failed in his first blow, he immediately retreated, distanced himself from Zhou Heng, shook his hands slightly, and his ten fingers grew out again.
At the same time, the ten fingers that had just been severed off also turned into shadows, wandering across the ground to its feet, reintegrating into its shadow.
"It's kind of interesting. Feng You looked at Zhou Heng with a playful face, and said with a smile: "If someone is here, I'll leave first!Zhou Heng, remember, you will be mine sooner or later, hahahaha!"
Rumble!!
Zhou Heng slashed through the knife again, but it didn't work.
At this time, Feng Yu had turned into a shadow again, and wandered to the dark side of the wall at an extremely fast speed, preparing to escape.
"Monster Hugh away!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from high in the sky, followed by a huge fireball falling from the sky!
This bright light and blazing heat made Zhou Heng's expression change slightly, and he hurriedly jumped to the top of a tall building not far away.
Bang!
Hearing an incomparably loud roar burst open, Zhou Heng felt that the ground below had a violent shock.
After the fireball hit the ground, it turned into a thick flame snake in an instant, chasing it in the direction where Feng You had fled.
This one's flame snake was flying in a hurry, and the crimson light illuminated the night, reflecting Zhou Heng's eyes full of firelight.
Moments later, the flames dissipated, and the road and the walls on either side were still scorched by the flames.
Such a shocking scene made Zhou Heng stunned and couldn't help but be speechless.
Why is this also martial arts!?
It's just a spell, okay!!
At this time, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw a figure suspended in the air.
Fly!
Martial Arts Six Pins!
This man in the sky also noticed Zhou Heng.
and landed.
It turned out to be the Wang steward beside Liu Changsheng before.
He turned out to be a six-grade master.
"Gongzi Zhou, did you fight that monster just now?" Steward Wang landed beside Zhou Heng, with anger on his face, and said: "That monster is very weird, I just used a secret technique to drop flames, but I couldn't burn him to death." β
The six-grade martial arts are usually the dividing line between the inheritance and the unpassed secrets of the great sects and families, so they are called the "secret six products".
And because martial arts have been in possession since the beginning of the six products, they already have the power to control the power of nature and mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, just like the legendary immortal spells, so they are often called secret arts.
"The firelight over there at the Yuelai Inn just now, was it the secret technique of Steward Wang?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly.
"Zhou Gongzi, don't worry, I was chasing outside the inn before, and there were no casualties in the inn. Steward Wang saw Zhou Heng's worries and explained.
"I see. Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What's going on, why did Steward Wang have that ...... What about the monster?"
Judging from Steward Wang's performance just now, he should not know about the existence of ghosts, so Zhou Heng called ghosts monsters.
"This monster is so bold that he dares to attack my young master. Steward Wang's face was gloomy, and he said: "Although he is Qian Buduo's appearance, he is by no means the original Qian Buduo, I have beaten him to death three times before, but each time he can come back from the dead, it is too evil." β
"Liu Gongzi was attacked by this monster, how is he now?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this.
What the hell is trying to do?
Why did even Liu Changsheng attack, just to take revenge?
Or is it for another purpose?
"The young master has a talisman, but he was only slightly injured. Steward Wang said in a deep voice: "However, this monster's methods are really strange, with his seven-grade level, he can actually turn his whole person into a shadow, blinding my perception, so that I didn't notice that he had infiltrated at all."
"As far as I know, there is no sect in the world that has such an effect, could it be some unknown hidden force?"
Because it's not human at all, and that weird ability may not be martial arts...... Zhou Heng was almost sure in his heart that Steward Wang should indeed not know about the existence of ghosts.
This made him feel a little surprised.
The sixth-rank masters of such a top sect as the Five Elements Sect actually didn't know about the existence of ghosts.
I'm afraid this is not just something that the Zhou Tian Patrol Division can do.
Unless this organization is already secretly in control.
The high-level leaders of the Five Elements Sect must also cooperate.
It is only through all-round concealment from top to bottom that it is possible to achieve this level of effect.
But why hide it to such an extent?
If ghosts are known to the public, what are the great harms?
"It's strange, there was a lot of movement in my secret technique just now, why didn't anyone come out to check on anything?" Steward Wang looked around, and suddenly felt a little strange.
"It's kind of weird. Zhou Heng also noticed this.
"It's me who shielded the perception of the people in the vicinity with a secret technique. A calm voice came, and then I saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark official robe and a black gauze hat flying into the air.
It is Wu Zongshan, the owner of Huangtong Mansion, who is also a six-grade master.
"I've seen the Mansion Master. Zhou Heng bowed.
"Wang Lang of the Five Elements Sect, I have seen the lord of the mansion. Steward Wang also bowed his hand slightly.
"I have arranged for Meng Xing to deal with the aftermath of the matter. Wu Zongshan bowed his head slightly and said, "You two don't need to worry. β
"What should we do with that monster?" Wang Lang frowned and said, "Such an evil thing can't be kept." β
"This mansion has invited a master, and he will kill that monster, and the king can rest assured. Wu Zongshan smiled and said: "The two of you will return home, if there is any matter, I will send someone to inform you." β
"Then I'll take my leave. Zhou Heng bowed his head and turned around and left directly.
It seems that this mansion master should be Zhou Tian Patrol Realm Division for help, since there are professionals coming, there is no need for him to interfere again.
I don't know if it's Cheng Jiangjian who came this time?
If it was her, I just asked about the Fu Seal and the Soul of the Sun.
Well, I have to give her back the three thousand taels of silver.
It's a bit of a pain to think about.
After Zhou Heng left.
Wang Lang asked Wu Zongshan: "The master invited by the mansion master is from the Zhou Tian Patrol Division?"
"That's right. The lord of the Huangtong Mansion did not hide it, nodded and smiled: "It seems that the king is well-informed. β
"I've just heard about it. Wang Lang said with a smile: "The members of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division are codenamed by the ancient star gods, and they all wear masks, act secretively, and have special methods.
"It is said that they are good at solving all kinds of evil things, and that monster just fits the word 'evil'.
"In addition, there is an order in my sect.
"If we have an affair with the Zhou Tian Patrol Division, as long as its members need it, we need to be at their disposal.
Fang Cai was confirming this matter with the Mansion Master.
"I'll take my leave. If there is a life, the call will come. β
With that, this six-rank martial artist jumped into the sky and disappeared into the vast night.
Wu Zongshan looked at Wang Lang's back as he left, and his expression became solemn.
The Five Elements Sect is the top sect in the world, and there is more than one celestial person in its sect!
would actually give such an order to the master of the sect.
This means that other sects of the same level may follow suit, which means that the authority of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division will be further expanded.
It also means thatβ
The threat of ghosts and evil creatures may be greater than before!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction where Zhou Heng left.
......
Meanwhile.
Zhou Heng was on his way home
He originally planned to go to see Yu He, but when he thought that the ghost might have been attracted by him, and he had already confirmed that Yu He's side was safe, he temporarily canceled this plan.
The night is quiet and the streets are deserted.
Zhou Heng was walking, and suddenly felt that the silver moonlight in the sky seemed to be covered by something, and then he saw a shadow slowly drifting down from the moonlight.
She wore a mask with a white background, and the gold patterns on it were painted like a face of a rich and noble family, still dressed in white, and fell in front of Zhou Heng.
A soft and pleasant voice followed.
"Zhou Gongzi, can I come to your house again?"
