Chapter 561 - 540: Raising the Butcher’s Knife (1/3)
"Don’t worry!" Zhou Heng turned his head and said to Yang Lanxin.
Even though he was not yet a match for the Moonlight Emperor, with the Swift Cloud Radiant Step as his fallback, escaping was not difficult. Moreover, he was not far from reaching the Moonlight Sovereign’s level now. All he needed to do was to slay a few more Immortals from the Meng Family to gather enough Spiritual Power to break through in one fell swoop.
But he had to hurry. Once the news of Fan Tong’s death reached the Fan Family, they were certain to send experts, possibly even of the Sunshine King level!
Zhou Heng was confident he could escape from the hands of the Moonlight Emperor, but if it was the Sunshine King... the gap was too great.
Although he had disguised his appearance when he killed Fan Tong, disguise only worked on appearance and could not change one’s aura. Anyone with greater strength could see through his identity.
Therefore, he had to be quick.
Zhou Heng moved swiftly, and before long he had returned to the marketplace. This vast market was now in a state of high alert, with patrols of soldiers on every road and shadows crisscrossing the skies above.
Those were at least Moonlight Kings. In a place like Immortal City where gravity was peculiarly strong, not even Quasi-Immortals could fly in the sky, at most they could glide for a distance.
Zhou Heng stood atop a tall building and suddenly shouted, "People of the Meng Family, listen up! I’ve come for a family of five from the Wind Wings Clan. Whoever laid hands on them, come kneel and accept death in the square before sunset. I’m letting this go after killing these people, or else, I’ll leave not a single one alive in the Meng Family!"
"Consider this a warning. Those not of the Meng Family clan, best clear out now. Anyone who stays with the Meng Family is seeking their own death. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
