Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Chapter 124: Trapped by One’s Own Device

Nangong Yuerong and the other person both had ugly expressions on their faces.

Nangong Yuerong was slightly better off. As a princess of the current dynasty, she still maintained a considerable level of decorum, while the other person was far worse off. Listening to the constant screams coming from outside the cave, even without witnessing it firsthand, one could imagine their tragic state, which uncontrollably made his body tremble.

He suddenly knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Zhou Heng, begging, "I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare me! Please spare me!"

With tears streaming down his face, his snot and tears flying together, where was the lofty superiority of an Initial Separation Realm expert? In the face of life and death, what difference was there between so-called experts and ants?

Zhou Heng didn’t have the slightest sympathy; instead, he felt extreme disgust and mercilessly kicked out with both feet, sending the man flying out of the cave. "Ah—" The screams outside became more lively.

"Zhou Heng, you are indeed extraordinary, and you have many secrets!" Nangong Yuerong calmly looked at Zhou Heng. As a top disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect and a princess of the current dynasty, every move she made was filled with noble grace.

Even Zhou Heng had to admit that, aside from this woman’s malice, Nangong Yuerong indeed possessed qualities that could captivate a man’s heart.

"Jing Tian might already be dead; you are the only one who holds the secret!" Nangong Yuerong smiled lightly, her delicate face blooming like a flower, "I originally thought your Bloodline Power was not rich enough and that your potential was limited. It seems I was mistaken!"

"Zhou Heng, think about it, join the Heavenly Star Sect, and I will be your reward!"

She puffed out her chest and held her head high, proud and confident, exuding astonishing charm.

Indeed, her status was exalted as the current dynastic princess, and she was also a beauty of a level that could topple nations. Countless people across the country dreamed of marrying her.

Zhou Heng burst into hearty laughter, shaking his head, "I have to take back what I said before, a thousand Spirit Stones for you indeed isn’t proper!" Without waiting for Nangong Yuerong to speak, he continued, "No different from a prostitute, at best just a higher grade, not receiving every customer!"

"Lowborn, what did you say!" Nangong Yuerong erupted in rage. When had anyone ever dared to insult her as a prostitute?

"Here, these are two Spirit Stones, give me a smile!" Zhou Heng casually threw out two Spirit Stones.

"How dare you!" Nangong Yuerong slapped out a palm, and the two Spirit Stones were immediately deflected flying away. Her chest heaved violently, having reached the peak of her fury. Her phoenix eyes widened as she sternly shouted, "You’re forcing my hand!"

She was obviously enraged to the extreme and had even forgotten to refer to herself as "this palace."

Zhou Heng had an uneasy feeling, but just then, two seductive red lights flashed suddenly in Nangong Yuerong’s eyes, and then, all color vanished from his vision, leaving only Nangong Yuerong in her snow-white palace dress, floating in the air like a fairy descending from the heavens.

This was an illusion!

Zhou Heng knew, but was unable to break free. His spirit sank, feeling that this high and mighty fairy was a deity in the universe, deserving of his devout worship, worthy of his protection at all costs.

She was the sky; she was the deity; she was the supreme existence!

Seeing Zhou Heng’s eyes growing increasingly numb, Nangong Yuerong revealed a smug smile.

This was her secret technique, learned from an ancient tome treasured by the Royal Family, a technique that no one had been able to master before, left untouched for how many years. This secret technique could be used only once, and it could make any person or Demon Beast with a realm weaker than hers submit to her, never to betray her for all eternity!

She originally wanted to keep this secret technique for later use when she reached the Heaven-Opening Realm or even the Mountains and Rivers Realm. Only then would she use it to subjugate a top-tier expert to assist her. Therefore, she was very reluctant to use it on Zhou Heng, who was only at the Initial Separation Realm.

But upon thinking it through, Zhou Heng’s current realm might be low, yet his potential was incredibly vast. There was hope that he could advance to the Heaven-Opening Realm or Mountains and Rivers Realm in the future. Moreover, this man harbored a great secret. Since Jing Tian had disappeared, most likely dead, Zhou Heng was the only one who knew.

—She still believed that the Nine Spirit Sect producing two such monstrous talents had something to do with the underworld.

By subjugating Zhou Heng, that secret would become hers!

Not a loss! Not a loss at all!

The smile on Nangong Yuerong’s lips grew sweeter.

The fairy in his eyes became increasingly holy and noble, as if a mysterious power was tempting him to kneel down and offer everything to the sacred fairy!

No!

A trace of hesitation arose in Zhou Heng’s heart. The goal of his cultivation was to breathe the air of this world freely, and he absolutely would not submit to any force or person!

His path was to slaughter the world and shake the nine heavens!

Those who obstruct my path to becoming a Daoist, kill!

A fierce killing intent suddenly flashed in Zhou Heng’s eyes, and the shadows of two complete Black Swords appeared in his pupils. His aura turned ferocious, and as it surged tumultuously, for a moment, it caused the three Dark Skin Monsters outside, who were vigorously digging a hole, to pause!

"What!"

Nangong Yuerong was terrified. This boy still had the power to resist! She hurriedly gathered her spirit to increase the power of her secret technique. If this secret technique failed, she would suffer a strong backlash. Although it would not make her obey Zhou Heng, a severe injury was inevitable.

With her full activation of the technique, the image of the fairy in Zhou Heng’s eyes became even more radiant and transcendent, as if she would ride the wind away and return to the nine heavens if he did not worship her.

Worship! Worship! After worshiping, the fairy would never leave!

A voice seemed to whisper and spiral continuously in his mind, plunging Zhou Heng into intense struggle. His eyes alternated between numbness and the shadow of swords, changing rapidly.

"My path shall not be defiled by anyone!"

After an indeterminate amount of time, Zhou Heng suddenly let out a ferocious roar. The Black Sword he had retracted into his Dantian responded instantly, sending out a supreme fluctuation. Clang, the image of the fairy in Zhou Heng’s eyes shattered violently!

The secret technique was broken!

However, a small oversight occurred at this moment.

The fragmented image of the fairy scattered into his body, triggering a reaction with the medicinal power of the Golden Sun Grass King in his blood. Instantly, Zhou Heng’s eyes turned blood-red, filled with an intense desire to inflict pain.

It was unbearably torturous, scorching, and stifling!

Suddenly, his eyes brightened. Wasn’t there a fairy lying right before him?

Zhou Heng strode forward.

Nangong Yuerong was incredibly weak. Zhou Heng’s breaking free from her secret technique was tantamount to a heavy blow to her—a real and severe one, affecting her divine sense to her body, something that Bloodline Power could not heal instantly!

And before she even had the chance to take her medicine and recuperate, she saw Zhou Heng already approaching her.

"Zhou Heng, you’ve won!" she said begrudgingly. "I am willing to offer a ransom, name your price. Even a Heaven-Opening Realm Magic Artifact, I can provide for you!"

But at this moment, Zhou Heng was completely controlled by his desire. He had only one thought and eyes for only one person!

Suddenly, the cave echoed with Nangong Yuerong’s cries filled with grief and indignation.

Upon waking, Zhou Heng felt refreshed. He glanced down at the beauty beneath him and felt somewhat uncertain.

If it were before, no matter what price Nangong Yuerong offered him, he would not have changed his mind about killing her, but now? He certainly had no intention of taking Nangong Yuerong into his harem, yet, to kill a woman with whom he had shared an intimate encounter was equally hard.
