Chapter 163 - 158: Fierce Beating (2/3)
"What!" Ying Bingfeng let out an exclamation, unable to believe that Zhou Heng’s battle power hadn’t been weakened in the slightest. Although his cultivation level wasn’t high enough to fully unleash the power of the Purple Bell, even experts of the Heaven-Opening Realm would be affected by it!
Since Zhou was unaffected, it was as if he was adding chaos to Nangong Changkong’s efforts from the other direction. How could Ying not feel like his nose was about to be bent out of shape upon realizing this?
Amidst his shock, Zhou had already killed his way over, swinging a sword directly at Ying’s neck.
Buzz!
As the Broken Sword came down, a pale yellow light shield suddenly appeared around Ying, blocking Zhou’s sword strike!
Zhou was not surprised. Even Yue Hu had a life-saving Forbidden Artifact on him, so how could Ying not have one? Such treasures, due to their usage limits, only activated in life-threatening situations. Therefore, despite being battered to the point of bleeding earlier by Zhou, Ying’s Restriction had not been triggered.
He abruptly withdrew his sword and with a twist of his right hand, he had already snatched the Purple Bell from Ying’s grasp, directly stowing it away in the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.
—Zhou wasn’t afraid of exposing the fact that he had a Space Artifact. The only secret that needed to stay hidden was the ability to contain living things.
Ying’s face was filled with horror. The Restriction had activated, which meant he had just been wandering at the Edge of Death a moment ago! Zhou... really dared to kill him! In a fit of extreme anger, how could he accept that a mere commoner of a Dynasty dared to kill him, and had actually made a move!
However, this time he had come out in pursuit of Mei Yixiang and only had a few attendants with him, their strength merely at the Initial Separation Realm. Now, no matter how enraged he was, what could he do? With all his trump cards played— the Purple Bell, Bloodline Power, and Magic Artifacts—all had been at a great disadvantage against Zhou. What was he to do?
