The night was dark and quiet, the moon blurry.
An extremely gorgeous woman who looked as beautiful as a flower gave him an alluring gaze as she asked flirtatiously and softly, "Do you want it?"
Under such dream-like circumstances, almost no man on earth could actually resist such temptation.
If not for the nine disembodied heads attached to bloody spines floating in the air...
"As long as you and I unite as one, you can enjoy this divinely immortal physique." Chen Hanyu walked slowly toward Zhou Heng and slightly lifted that light gauze dress that covered her beautiful and delicate figure. She smiled and said, "Is your heart not moved at all?"
"What are you?" Zhou Heng simply ignored Chen Hanyu's question. Instead, he stared at her in surprise and asked, "Are you really a human?"
At the same time, his mind was racing hard to find a way to break free.
His only hope was that attribute that granted him extra damage to Yin Spirits.
'But the saber attack will not result in any lasting damage.
'What should I do?'
"Mister, what are you talking about?" The hint of a smile was seen from Chen Hanyu's eyes as she asked coquettishly.
At the same time, her fair and slender beautiful fingers fell on her fair and smooth thighs. She gently ran a finger up her gorgeous body through that gauze dress.
Her fingers roamed over the luscious and seductive curves before finally stopping at her rosy cherry lips. She smiled and said, "Which part of me doesn't resemble a human?"
As soon as she finished her words, she abruptly dispersed into pink smoke and instantly appeared behind Zhou Heng.
Her seemingly boneless body pressed against him. She leaned her chin on Zhou Heng's shoulder. Her breath smelled like orchids. She whispered softly in Zhou Heng's ear, "Do you want to try me out yourself, Mister… Ugh! You?!"
Chen Hanyu suddenly let out a muffled grunt. Her voice stopped abruptly. She widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Heng incredulously. Then, she lowered her head and saw a saber plunged through the side of her waist.
The moment she coalesced herself into a human body and approached him, Zhou Heng had, without the slightest hint of hesitation, thrust his steel saber backward with all his might!
It went right through her body!
"You really don't know how to treat a lady!"
Chen Hanyu sighed and slightly shifted her body. In a moment, she was away from Zhou Heng. She floated to the ground. The wound by the side of her waist suddenly produced more flesh buds and wrapped the steel saber up within the blink of an eye!
She actually swallowed that whole thing into her stomach!
Just then, the skin on her smooth belly actually began to move up and down, like a mouth chewing food!
'She ate the steel saber?!'
"Well, it looks like you really aren't part of the Heavenly Circulation Guardians." Chen Hanyu smiled faintly and touched her belly gently to pat down the curdling waves happening beneath her skin.
She did not seem annoyed. On the contrary, there was a look of delight on her face. Her eyes glowed, and she stared at Zhou Heng with a raging fire like never before.
It was like a starving man seeing a good meal!
"Heavenly Circulation Guardians?" Zhou Heng froze at the words. Then, he subconsciously thought of Cheng Jiangjian pursuing and killing the ghosts with a mask on. 'Does she belong to that organization?
'But, isn't she a disciple of Pious Sun Palace?'
"Since you're not one of them, then you must be a Supreme Yang Divine Soul!" Chen Hanyu's eyes beamed and fixated her gaze on Zhou Heng. She smiled and said, "No wonder I can't resist you! No wonder I find you so attractive!"
"What's Supreme Yang Divine Soul?" Zhou Heng asked in puzzlement. 'Could she be referring to a force that restrains ghosts?'
Meanwhile, his hands were secretly moving.
He clasped a cloth bag and hid it within his palm.
He had a thought that might earn him a slim chance of escaping from this desperate situation!
"A dead person has no need to know about it. Come and become one with me!"
Chen Hanyu shook her head and snorted.
After that, her seemingly soft and delicate body shuddered violently, as if a human-shaped candle had been lit and was just starting to melt.
Her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears dripped to the ground like melted wax!
The gorgeous and beautiful face that caused countless men to lose their minds was instantly gone.
It was a face without any features, and it only continued melting!
It happened under the moonlight, which was even more terrifying!
The melting process did not stop there, it continued!
Initially, it was her face, then her head, followed by her torso, and limbs...
In just a moment, the entire body of Chen Hanyu melted into a sticky, waxy-oil-like milky white mess!
It twisted, turned, wriggled, and tossed about!
Zhou Heng instantly felt a buzzing voice in his head and went blank.
He nearly fainted from the shock of such a bizarre and terrifying sight on the spot. He could only give his all and bit the tip of his tongue hard to stay conscious!
Suddenly, the sticky wax oil mass leaped up and turned into a huge milky white curtain, enveloping Zhou Heng!
The center of that white curtain slit open to reveal a mouth and bared its sharp teeth. It laughed gleefully and said, "Come! Become one with me. You'll experience utmost bliss like you'd never had before!"
Against such a scene, Zhou Heng did not panic. Instead, he swallowed the mental confusion and severe pain in his head and unfolded the cloth bag in his hand.
There were rows of silver needles inside it!
Then, at breakneck speed, he stabbed those needles into the major acupoints around his body!
This was the Meridian and Qi Clearing Acupuncture Technique!
The acupuncture technique could clear all the meridians in the body through the acupuncture points in the limbs alone. He only needed to apply the needles at his hands and feet. If he applied the needles at any other parts of his body, he would cause his qi and blood to move in reverse!
Needless to say, Zhou Heng had pierced these silver needles into the major acupoints of his body!
The moment the needles were pierced into his body, Zhou Heng's entire blood flow immediately stopped and slowly traveled in reverse. It turned his body red, as if his body had been pumped with blood!
Qi, blood circulation, and spirit were all connected in some way. Now that the qi and blood circulation in his entire body had flowed in reverse, there would be a trace of power of the divine soul included in the rushing of qi and blood circulation!
Zhou Heng took advantage of the opportunity during the reverse flow of qi and blood circulation to have the reversed flow of qi and blood circulation converge on his throat via the acupuncture technique. By doing so, they would contain some of the power of the divine soul!
Finally, he spat them out in a spray of mist!
The crimson blood which comprised Zhou Heng's own essence and part of his divine soul was shot out from his mouth. It hit that milky white curtain which was lunging toward Zhou Heng with great precision.
That mouthful of blood carried the power that could suppress ghosts!
It consisted of the attribute that dealt extra damage to Yin Spirits!
This was the only solution Zhou Heng could come up with in order to break out of the situation!
Since this attribute could enhance the power of his saber technique when attacking ghosts and also dispel ghost aura during medical treatment, it made no sense if it could not be applied to other areas!
Since Chen Hanyu had labeled the power to suppress ghosts as Supreme Yang Divine Soul, therefore, this suggested that the attribute might be related to the divine soul. As long as the power of the divine soul was involved, it might produce some miraculous effects!
Whoosh!
Zhou Heng's mouthful of blood splashed on the milky white curtain. It instantly gave out a sound as if hot oil was being poured on a person. It sizzled and roared!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
A sharp and mournful scream came out from the mouth of that milky white curtain. Its lunge came to an abrupt halt and fell to the ground!
It reacted as if it had been eroded. A large cloud of pink, thick smoke burst out. Then, it turned into a writhing mass of milky white viscous liquid and soon, coalesced into a woman.
But this woman's look was nothing like the stunningly beautiful Chen Hanyu.
Her look was considered mediocre among the masses, it was a truly ordinary face.
Apparently, Zhou Heng was right about Chen Hanyu's beauty when he felt that she literally looked "photoshopped". It was clear that she had used a special method to "create" her artificial looks!
That woman lay curled up on the floor. Her body was trembling. A large part of her skin was horrifically wounded, as if she had been horribly, hideously burned!
Those wounds were exactly where Zhou Heng had spat his blood at!
"How is this possible?!" she whispered incredulously, her face was full of shock.
She spread her hands on the ground and tried to stand up. But the part of the body which had been corroded with blood had been severely injured. As such, she was helpless.
"Nothing is impossible!" Zhou Heng endured the severe pain all over his body. He quickly pulled out a spare longsword from the remnants of the horse-drawn carriage!
He seized the opportunity. With a single stroke of his sword, he removed that woman's head!
"Congratulations! You've defeated a deadly opponent, a ghost called Yu Shang. You'll be granted with one Gold Lucky Bag!"
The system notification rang.
Zhou Heng's facial expression suddenly changed.
'A ghost?!
'Yu Shang?!
'Then, where's Chen Hanyu from the previous notification?!'
