Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 733 - 710 Terrifying Power (3/3)

Zhou Heng revealed a hint of surprise. He should be the most famous person in Taiyin City by now, shouldn’t he? Yet, this woman didn’t recognize him? He smiled, cupped his fists in greeting, and said, "I am Zhou Heng. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Wang!"

"Zhou Heng?" Wang Youyue revealed a trace of confusion, as if pondering whether she had heard the name before. But after a short while, she lightly smiled and said, "I apologize, I have not heard of Young Master Zhou’s name before."

"It doesn’t matter!" Zhou Heng shook his head. He was just out with Yang Xiaoxiong to pass time and wasn’t looking for a romantic encounter to happen.

"Please, take a seat!" Wang Youyue welcomed them to sit down at the stone table in the garden and had a servant girl bring over a pot of fragrant tea. This gesture instantly made Yang Xiaoxiong feel flattered to the point he almost cried tears of joy.

"Brother Zhou, thanks to your good fortune, I’ve been here seven times and it’s only this time I got to drink tea!" said Yang Xiaoxiong.

Zhou Heng was taken aback. This prodigal son clearly had taken a fancy to Wang Youyue, yet he had restrained himself from using the power at his disposal to take her by force. It was completely out of character for a usually unruly playboy!

"Brother Zhou, why does that look in your eyes make me uncomfortable?" Yang Xiaoxiong scratched his head. In the past two days, he had come to know that Zhou Heng didn’t put on airs and didn’t mind him making harmless jokes.

Zhou Heng just smiled and didn’t speak.

"Young Master Yang, what kind of stones have you brought this time?" Wang Youyue asked after sipping her tea.

Her slightly parted red lips were full of allure, causing Yang Xiaoxiong’s eyes to widen instantly. It took a moment before he uttered an "ah," patted his head, and quickly took out a Space Artifact. In one swoosh, he poured out a large pile of stones from it.

Hum, the Black Sword quivered slightly in the Dantian Space.

A treasure!

Zhou Heng’s eyes lit up. Any treasure that could invoke a reaction from the Black Sword Master was sure to be on the same level as the Fire Divine Furnace and the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!

Could Yang Xiaoxiong have actually obtained such a treasure?

No, perhaps he had come across it inadvertently!

Zhou Heng looked at the pile of stones on the stone table, each not too big, at most the size of a fist, and all varied in shape and color. Some were even translucent, and others emitted a bright light.

"Miss You Yue likes to collect strange stones!" Finally not blinded by beauty, Yang Xiaoxiong explained to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn’t respond, as he was also evoking the Black Sword, searching for the stone that had stirred the Black Sword.

Hum, the Black Sword targeted it.

Zhou Heng immediately reached out his hand, but before his palm could land, the stone had already disappeared, falling into the delicate hands of Wang Youyue. His eyes immediately tightened.

Not because someone had gotten to it before him, but because Wang Youyue was even faster than him!

How was that possible—her displayed strength was only that of a Moonlight Emperor. Had it not been so, how could Zhou Heng have found it strange that Yang Xiaoxiong could contain his lust? But how could a Moonlight Emperor be quicker on the draw than him? Was that reasonable?

Moreover, that was a Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!

Zhou Heng could now confirm that it was indeed a Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!

Counting the Star Core, he had come across three Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystals. After being targeted by the Black Sword, it was easy for him to be sure.

That was definitely a treasure, for it could replenish the Rune given to him by Huo Tian!

How terrifying was the power of Huo Tian’s Rune? Yet, a Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal could repair it. Just this aspect alone made it a peerless treasure! ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The Old Swindler was a person of the Immortal Realm. After his reincarnation into the Mortal Realm, his travels around the world were in search of this thing. Coming to the Immortal Realm, however, none here seemed to know what a Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal was, which Zhou Heng had found very strange.

There was only one explanation: the secrets of the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal were held by a very few!

And this woman in front of him, her interest in "collecting strange stones" was a pretense, a cover for her true purpose, which was to find the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystals. Because apart from being incredibly tough, they had no other peculiarities and could easily be overlooked and discarded.

Only by mobilizing the power of the entire world could they be found!

In the Mortal Realm there were people like the Old Swindler looking for Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystals, and in the Immortal Realm... it was her, possibly one among many!

Wang Youyue also looked at Zhou Heng curiously, because he had, without deviation, targeted what she aimed for. This was certainly no coincidence!

Did he also know about the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal?

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, each trying to glimpse a clue from the other’s gaze, from their expressions.

Watching the two of them gaze at each other "with deep affection," Yang Xiaoxiong couldn’t help feeling jealous. Although he had brought Zhou Heng here with this in mind, he never expected the two to hit it off so quickly!

Come on, he was still sitting right there; you two can’t just get together like this! Eh, but wouldn’t it be better if they did get together? Clearly, he had no chance with swan meat, so wouldn’t it be worthwhile to just watch from the side?

Zhou Heng felt as though the other person’s eyes were like a vast oceanic abyss, a world of black sea that involuntarily made him sink in, his consciousness gradually blurring, his mind suddenly defenseless!

Just then, the Black Sword trembled, and he immediately snapped out of it.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be startled; this woman could actually bewitch him! Had it not been for the Black Sword, he would have definitely fallen into the trap today!

This woman’s Divine Sense was too strong, so strong that it was alarming. Even amid his confusion, Zhou Heng still faintly perceived the terrifying primal force within her body, far surpassing that of anyone except Huo Tian!

Indeed, Huo Tian’s primal force must also be incredibly powerful, because the force she released in her fury far exceeded the level of the Creation Emperor!

And from her appearance, Huo Tian was nothing more than the Moonlight King!

"Furnace, are you confident you can beat her?" Zhou Heng communicated with the Fire Divine Furnace.

"With only these scraps of Exotic Fire? No way!" The Fire Divine Furnace immediately shook its head, "This woman is much stronger than you, and moreover, this is only one of her avatars. Even if you could burn her, it would only bring her more terrifying true body! But you need not hurry, the Great Witch is far more formidable than she is!"

The Great Witch it referred to was naturally Huo Tian.

Zhou Heng’s heart tightened. Did the Fire Divine Furnace mean that even the Blue Dragon Empress couldn’t suppress the woman before them? How could that be! If this Wang Youyue were such a powerful being, how could she not be well-known, instead opting to use her beauty to make these aristocratic young masters search for the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal for her?

No, if she truly revealed her own power, then everyone would know the preciousness of the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal—it would undoubtedly be a treasure among treasures to be cherished and valued by a Super Creation Emperor!

In that case, she might end up with nothing at all!

"Young Master Zhou, I have underestimated you," Wang Youyue said, revealing a surprised expression. Zhou Heng had actually broken free from her control; how powerful must his Divine Sense cultivation be?

It was precisely because of this that she suppressed the impulse to strike directly. Otherwise, what of the Sunshine Emperor? She could turn people to ash, making Zhou Heng and Yang Xiaoxiong disappear forever.

Zhou Heng heh-heh’d with a smile and pointed to Wang Youyue’s jade hand, saying, "I want that stone. How about you transfer it to me?"

"What an unfortunate coincidence, I am quite fond of it too. There’s a saying that a gentleman does not seize the love of others, Young Master Zhou wouldn’t want to make me sad, would you?" Wang Youyue said, the more composed Zhou Heng appeared, the more suspicious she became.

"These stones are neither yours nor mine, but belong to Yang Xiaoxiong, let him decide," said Zhou Heng with a smile.

Yang Xiaoxiong was instantly dumbfounded. You two didn’t even go to bed after all this fuss, and now you’re suddenly fighting over a stone? And dragged him into it?

He’s the one getting shot while lying down!

One was the goddess he admired, the other the benefactor of his life; he didn’t want to offend either of them!

And indeed, he did have some presence of mind. His face turned red, he flopped straight down onto the ground—brother has fainted, whatever you do, don’t drag brother into it.

Wang Youyue turned her jade hand and a stream of power flowed, turning Yang Xiaoxiong’s fake faint into a real one. She spoke calmly and indifferently, "Who exactly are you?"

"And who are you?" Zhou Heng countered.

"Heavenly Mysterious?" Wang Youyue spat out two words.

"Spirit Crystal!" Zhou Heng completed the term.

Wang Youyue’s beautiful eyes swirled, and she immediately showed anger, saying, "From North Zi City to North Yin City, these territories are under my charge. Why did you overstep the boundary?"

Zhou Heng felt a surge in his heart. Such a powerful woman was also like the Old Swindler, employed by others to search for the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal. In that case, how powerful was the force behind her?

Was it related to the destruction of the Immortal Realm in years past?

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal was definitely a supreme treasure, at least able to repair the Rune. It was completely understandable for supreme experts to fight over it! So, could this force be the victor of that ancient war?

The culprit behind the downfall of the original owner of the Black Sword? Huo Tian’s arch-enemy?

Zhou Heng vaguely felt that he had touched upon a core secret of this world, but his cultivation was far too weak. This was essentially like a blind man walking on a cliff’s edge—a single misstep could lead to irreversible doom!

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I only need to enter Juexian City for some business, and I wasn’t aware of your identity. How could I see the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal right in front of me and not take it? You want the credit, don’t I want it as well?"

With such a strong attitude, Wang Youyue’s own demeanor softened somewhat, saying, "Don’t let it happen again, otherwise I will definitely lodge a complaint against you in the future!"

Zhou Heng’s heart pounded. He was very curious about the secrets of this force, but now was not the time!

This trip, assisting the Great Eternal Emperor in his escape was the utmost priority!

Moreover, his current strength was too weak. What right did he have to challenge this force?

"Okay, I understand!" Zhou Heng nodded assertively as well.

"Then go, and do not come back again!" Wang Youyue waved her hand casually, and all the stones on the table were collected into her Space Artifact.

Zhou Heng picked up Yang Xiaoxiong and strode out of the yard, not realizing his back was soaked with sweat until after he left through the gate!

—He hadn’t brought the Immortal Residence; Huo Tian wasn’t even with him!

If Wang Youyue had made a move just now, he would have been defenseless without the Rune on his forehead for protection, and most likely would have been slapped to death! (To be continued.
