nChapter 161: Chapter 161 Flying Dragon in the Sky

nThe sudden change transformed two seemingly normal young girls into strangely eerie and malevolent beings in an instant.

nAs they extended their long tongues to coil around Zhou Heng, they also unleashed a tremendously powerful mental assault, indicating they were evil creatures equivalent to Ninth-Rank warriors.

nBelow Eighth Rank.

nYet the mental assault was already extremely formidable.

nIf a Ninth Rank Warrior were to glance at them, they would likely fall unconscious. Even an Eighth-Rank Martial Artist, unless they had trained their Divine Soul, would suffer significant interference, at the very least experiencing momentary dizziness or even unbearable headaches.

nDuring combat, such effects often determine life and death. A moment of carelessness may result in a lethal situation, not to mention facing such a forceful mental assault.

nIt is for this reason that evil creatures of the same grade are generally more potent than Martial Artists. It’s not impossible for evil creatures to overcome their limits and kill warriors of a higher grade.

nThe advantage provided by mental assaults is too great.

nHowever, such an advantage proved utterly useless against Zhou Heng.

nIt was as if he didn’t even feel the mental assault from the evil creatures, reaching out with a direct grab and seizing the thorny tongues in his hand.

n“How dare two Ninth-Rank evil creatures act so presumptuously?” Zhou Heng snorted coldly and, grasping the tongues, flung the two girls—whose bodies had been thoroughly corrupted by the creatures—into the air.

nSmack!

nUnder the immense power of his strength, the two “girls” were smashed to the ground like chunks of raw meat cast to the earth, instantly squashed into flat patties of flesh.

nIf a normal Ninth-Rank Martial Artist were smashed to this state, they would certainly be dead beyond any doubt.

nBut it’s different for evil creatures.

nEven smashed into pulp, these two creatures continued to squirm, trying to reform their human shape and stand up once more.

nAt this moment, Wu Zongshan also flew over. He keenly sensed the intense mental assault emanating from the two clumps of flesh. If any ordinary person came by, they would likely be scared out of their wits, soul shattered.

nLiterally soul-shattering, dying in an instant!

nTherefore, he hastily cast the secret technique “Void Illusion” to isolate the surrounding area within a hundred paces from the outside world.

nThis sophisticated method of obscuring perception can make people outside instinctively avoid the area and not enter, while also psychologically influencing those still inside to leave the premises.

nSuch secret techniques are standard for court officials at the level of a mansion lord, designed to deal with sudden incidents within the city and prevent ordinary people from being affected.

nAs Wu Zongshan was casting his secret technique,

nZhou Heng moved as well.

nHe pushed forward with both palms, pumping his Innate Pure Yang Inner Qi through the technique of the Great Wuxiang Power, channeling the skills of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

nThe roar of two dragons burst forth from nowhere; two Golden Dragon Mirages emerged from his palms, barreling towards the two clumps of flesh that had just risen to a humanoid form.

nA shockwave traveled a hundred miles!

nThis was one of the extremely powerful moves from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

nHad Zhou Heng’s cultivation reached the Seventh Rank and perfected this palm technique, he could have unleashed eighteen Golden Dragon Mirages, causing the heavens and the earth to change color, sweeping through all foes as an unrivaled force.

nBut even now, the might of this move was still incredibly potent.

nFurthermore, the sheer Yang force of the palm strike, empowered by the Innate Pure Yang Inner Qi, possessed the Great Power to annihilate ghosts and evil spirits.

nUnder the impact of these two Golden Dragon Mirages, the densely evil humanoid clumps were instantly devoured and completely obliterated.

nThe evil creatures possessing them didn’t even have the chance to materialize before they were destroyed.

n“Star Envoy, your palm technique is formidable,” Wu Zongshan landed and looked towards the Leidian Fang within the estate, saying solemnly, “I hadn’t expected the evil creatures to be hiding here in Leidian Fang. I’ve already sealed off the entire estate with a secret technique. Let’s go in and search!”

n“Hmm.” Zhou Heng nodded slightly and quickly entered the estate, his gaze sweeping around while expanding his spiritual awareness to search for places with a strong presence of evil qi.

nMost of those in Leidian Fang were women, not all of whom had been parasitized by evil creatures. Upon seeing intruders suddenly breaking in, they instinctively wanted to call for help.

nBut just as they moved, tongues full of barbs shot out from the rooms, piercing their temples and stringing them together, draining their brains and flesh, leaving nothing but skins in an instant.

n“`

n“Damn it!” Zhou Heng’s eyes widened as he pushed forward with both palms, accompanied by the whistling of dragon roars, as two Golden Dragon Mirages burst forth once more.

nAstonishing for a hundred miles!

nThese two Golden Dragons contained a masculine force so extreme that they instantly crushed the long tongue and overturned the house in front, revealing the situation inside.

nInside, numerous young women were seen playing musical instruments with their long tongues sticking out of their mouths, and white long fine hair growing from their bodies, sticking out through the gaps in their clothing, creating an extremely eerie sight.

nOn dozens of chairs were seated elderly men and women with aged faces covered in wrinkles, mouths agape, eyes wide open, but with nothing but hollowness inside.

nA closer look revealed that these elders were already nothing more than dried-up human skins.

nWith the house turned over, these husks shattered and dissipated as soon as the sunlight hit them.

nSubsequently, the bodies of the young women split in half.

nOut of them crawled a terrifying insect-like creature with long, needle-like mouthparts, two compound eyes occupying most of the head, beating two pairs of semi-transparent wings, six legs and covered in white hair, resembling a gigantic mosquito.

nEach of these creatures had wings that spanned at least ten feet when spread, and their bodies were even longer, reaching almost fifteen feet!

nThese were the true forms of Ninth Grade Evil Creatures that had parasitized inside these women; as for the women themselves, they had long been consumed entirely, leaving behind nothing but empty skins.

nCompared to the chaos caused by ghosts, the havoc wrought by these Evil Creatures was even more bizarre, thrilling, and filled with horror. Even without the distinct mental shock of the Evil Creatures, just their appearance and the scene they created were enough to scare ordinary people half to death.

nEven an ordinary Eighth Rank Martial Artist, upon witnessing this scene, would feel their scalp tingle with horror.

nBuzzing!!

nOne after another, the terrifying giant “mosquitoes” flapped their wings and charged towards Zhou Heng. Wu Zongshan used a secret technique in an attempt to attack the mosquitoes, but just like earlier at the pork shop, his attacks still missed entirely.

nUtterly ineffective!

nOrdinary martial arts seemed to have no effect on these kinds of Evil Creatures; only the extremely yang and firm martial arts could injure them.

nRoar!!

nA Golden Dragon Mirage flew over, crushing these “mosquitoes” as if a divine dragon was rolling over tiny insects, instantly smashing them to pieces, effortlessly.

nComparing the two, Wu Zongshan felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

nOrdinary martial artists, even those who had reached the level of Secret Six Rank, without a special martial arts inheritance, could only protect themselves when facing Evil Creatures.

n“Lord of the Mansion, there are too many Evil Creatures here. Please be more cautious, and don’t worry about me.” Zhou Heng warned, then following his spiritual perception, he headed towards the place where the evil aura was most concentrated.

nHowever, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a small boy with a delicate and pretty visage, crying and running over.

n“Wah wah wah!! So scary! The monsters here are so scary! Uncle, save me!” The little boy, only six or seven years old and very cute, ran over with his face covered by his hands towards Zhou Heng, seemingly terrified to the extreme.

nBang!

nZhou Heng, however, directly struck from a distance with a palm, executing “Dragon Regret,” sending the little boy flying backward so that he landed far away, unable to come any closer.

nBang!

nThe little boy hit the distant wall, tearing his clothes and revealing the white hair underneath.

n“Wuwu, uncle, you have such a cruel heart. I’m so cute, yet you heartlessly hit me!” The little boy shook off the white hair, unharmed, and climbed up from the ground, revealing the face he had previously covered with his hands.

nThose eyes were not human eyes at all but a pair of large insect compound eyes; the blood vessels around the eye sockets were bulging and appeared fierce and terrifying!

n“I knew at a glance that you were not human!” Zhou Heng snorted coldly and shouted, “Evil creature, meet your end!”

nIn his spiritual perception, the evil Qi inside this little boy was dozens, even hundreds of times that of the Ninth Grade Evil Creatures he had encountered before; to him, it was as conspicuous as a light in the darkness, instantly distinguishable.

nAs Zhou Heng shouted loudly, he leapt up, his Inner Qi circulating, and struck down from above.

nAmid the sounds of dragon roars, a violent wind surged, and a Golden Dragon Mirage rushed out from his palm directly towards the “little boy’s” head.

nEighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!!

nFlying Dragon in the Sky!
