Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 691 - 668: Chains (3/3)

"Soon-to-be brother-in-law, you’ve greatly disappointed me!" A discordant voice shattered the charming atmosphere as Bing Xiulan suddenly popped her head out from behind Zhou Heng, her face filled with displeasure as she spoke to him.

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "Where have I disappointed you?"

"From top to bottom, everywhere!" Bing Xiulan’s gaze then shifted to Hu Mei, "This one is a vixen, I won’t allow you to embrace her! Let go of her now!"

"Exactly, Zhou, can’t you see how young you still are? Sigh, thinking about women at such a young age, and even such a ripe one, you really have a heavy taste!" Black Donkey also came over and said, grinning sleazily.

This damn donkey!

"Stay out of this!" Zhou Heng kicked Black Donkey, then addressed Bing Xiulan, "Little girl, I have never agreed to be your brother-in-law! Let’s not even mention that there’s nothing between her and me, even if there were, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Soon-to-be brother-in-law, you are really cold-hearted and ungrateful. Not satisfied with just my sister, you have to mess around with others too, I despise you!" Bing Xiulan glared at Zhou Heng, fuming.

Zhou Heng patted her shoulder and said, "Once we get out of here, I will definitely keep my distance from you!"

Initially, he had brought Bing Xiulan into this dangerous place for safety. Of course, he would ensure her safety throughout, but after that, they would have nothing to do with each other. He didn’t want to spend his days being this girl’s nanny.

"Hmph, since I have taken a liking to you, do you think you can run away? Soon-to-be brother-in-law, just accept your fate graciously!" Bing Xiulan said with a "sinister" smile.

Just how unattractive must her sister be, needing her to promote her so eagerly? Yet, if her sister was indeed the Sublimation King, even if she was less than appealing, plenty of men would still be willing to marry her, right?

Forget it, it’s none of his business anyway, no point bothering with it.

Hu Mei threw herself into Zhou Heng’s arms, and it took a while for her emotions to stabilize before she eventually fell asleep. However, her hands still clung tightly to the corner of Zhou Heng’s clothes, seemingly afraid that he would cast her aside.

This woman’s figure was enchanting, a rare gift for any man. The comfort from her ample bosom pressing against his chest was undeniable, and Zhou Heng couldn’t help but return the gesture with his stick, feeling the urge to conquer this woman.

It’s been too long since he’s been with a woman!

Holding Hu Mei, Zhou said, "Let’s keep moving!"

The three of them and a donkey continued their journey deeper into this underground world.

A few hours later, Hu Mei finally stirred awake. She opened her bewitching eyes, and upon seeing Zhou Heng, a relaxed expression spread across her face, her eyes vibrant and fluid.

"Thank you," she said in a voice close to a whisper, her eyes fixated solely on Zhou Heng, radiating intense passion.

Such a gaze was usually reserved for her followers when they looked at her, but now she was the one gazing at Zhou Heng—the man who appeared in her most desperate, helpless moment, like a shining golden warrior god dispelling all darkness.

To her, Zhou Heng was now a god-like figure, her faith!

The pressure from the Creation Emperor had inflicted irreparable damage on her, and only the sight of this man could calm her down. It was as if she was severely poisoned, and only Zhou Heng was the antidote.

"You’re awake?" Zhou Heng uttered redundantly, stopping in his tracks to set Hu Mei down, "Walk on your own!"

"Yes!" Hu Mei responded respectfully, her gaze still burning with fervor.

"Are you going to walk alone, or with us?" Zhou Heng asked politely, though he didn’t really want to be burdened with too many people.

"I want to follow you!" Hu Mei immediately said, her eyes filled with fanaticism and expectation.

This woman’s look is rather odd!

Zhou Heng thought to himself, but did not dwell on it, understanding that being recently overwhelmed by the Creation Emperor could cause some emotional instability.

"Vixen!" Bing Xiulan couldn’t help but interject, "Why do you want to follow us?"

"Little girl, my surname is Hu, but I’m not a vixen!" Facing Bing Xiulan, Hu Mei was full of confidence, reclaiming her youthful Supremacy’s grace with a sweet smile, "However, I am much more formidable than a mere vixen!"

Bing Xiulan was instantly dumbstruck. Who could be so shameless! Indeed, the blunt fear the brazen, and the brazen fear the reckless. Although she was unreasonable, the other seemed even more cunning!

"Little girl, you’re still too green to compete with me!" Hu Mei pinched Bing Xiulan’s cheek, giggling playfully.

"Bad silver!" Bing Xiulan’s speech was unclear as her cheek was pinched.

Zhou Heng looked at Hu Mei, unable to reconcile her previous vulnerable appearance with her current flirtatious demeanor.

Women are indeed fickle creatures!

"Let’s go!"

They continued on their way, making sure to skirt around places where treasure artifacts lay broken and glinting with a high tier, too potent to be tamed, only provoking greedy gazes.

Immortals could go their whole lives without eating or sleeping, and in this eerie place, no one felt like resting or eating; they kept moving, step by step, towards the very center of this massive pit.

Hu Mei, with her flowing long sleeves, was like a versatile demon maiden.

When facing Zhou Heng, she was gentle and charming, but when facing Bing Xiulan, she was cunning and slick, causing the girl to continually suffer in silence without being able to retaliate. When dealing with Black Donkey, she casually promised to give this despicable donkey some treasures after getting out, thereby deceitfully earning its undying loyalty.

Her tactics could be said to be extremely skilled and effortless.

Seven days later, Zhou Heng suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the sky.

Above, a long chain was hanging, both ends invisible, but one could guess that one end was hanging from the top of the cavern wall, while the other end was anchored to the ground at the center of this cave.

It appeared to be hanging down just like that.

It had not been seen before because the end attached to the cavern wall was too high, and the visibility here was greatly obstructed, thus it had remained undiscovered until the chain had descended to a certain height, only then becoming visible.

"Follow this chain!" Zhou Heng immediately made a decision.

This place was clearly the real battlefield of the ancient battle involving the Creation Emperor, with broken treasure artifacts everywhere stubbornly struggling as if they still wanted to continue the fight, unhappy to become ordinary.

Beneath the chain, there might be all the answers.

Once he had made up his mind, Black Donkey and the others naturally did not object, and they proceeded in the direction the chain was descending.

From the general direction, the other end of the chain appeared to be at the center of this cave.

The material of this chain must be of an incredibly high tier!

Zhou Heng thought to himself, as his Gold Devouring Clan’s bloodline showed no reaction to this chain!

There were only two possibilities: first, the chain’s material was too low-grade to attract the attention of the Gold Devouring Clan’s bloodline; second, it was too high-grade, surpassing the limit it could devour, and likewise, there would be no reaction.

The answer was obvious!

—On the ground, the broken treasure artifacts continually launched attacks, some striking the chain, but they could not damage it at all. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Two days later, the chain in the sky had descended to a height of less than a hundred zhang, allowing one to clearly see the details on the chain.

The color was dark gold, each link engraved with array patterns, emitting a faint glow, having an indescribable supreme aura that made one’s heart tremble at a single glance, feeling an unbearable heaviness.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be amazed, whether it was the Gold Devouring Clan’s bloodline showing no reaction, or this material being able to withstand such supreme pressure, both proved that the chain’s material was incredibly precious, belonging to the kind that could cause a huge scramble if a single link were taken out!

But here, it wasn’t just one or two links, but rather something that traversed nearly half the cave; what a generous action!

There must be some special purpose; surely no one in the world would be so wasteful as to string up such precious material into chains just for fun? To swing on them?

The key question was, what was the purpose?

Under the supreme pressure, Hu Mei, Bing Xiulan, and Black Donkey all dared not look too long, all casting their eyes downward. Meanwhile, Hu Mei, because of a psychological shadow, involuntarily leaned towards Zhou Heng, her voluptuous body almost completely pressing against his.

This isn’t right!

Zhou Heng was not a prude; he liked beautiful women, but he had higher standards and wouldn’t think about stripping a beauty upon seeing one.

But Hu Mei was definitely above average, considered utterly voluptuous, and her figure was ripe and juicy, with a touch that felt incredibly delightful, continuously testing Zhou Heng’s will with repeated close contacts!

"Fox spirit, stay away from my brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan said indignantly, grabbing Hu Mei to pull her away from Zhou Heng.

"You already called me a fox spirit, so why should I behave?" Hu Mei said with a flirty smile, instead hooking Zhou Heng’s arm with her towering, plump breasts pressing against his arm, the soft touch making Zhou Heng both comfortable and emotionally swayed.

"Shameless!" Bing Xiulan rolled her eyes.

"Have you ever seen a shameless fox spirit?" Hu Mei retorted, and in this kind of fight, the quirky Bing Xiulan was naturally not a match for someone as experienced as Hu Mei.

"I am so angry!" Bing Xiulan jumped repeatedly, suddenly pulling out the Soul Suppressing Seal, "Let me stamp you with this, see how you flirt then!"

Although Hu Mei didn’t know what the Soul Suppressing Seal was, she instinctively sensed the terrifying aura attached to the stamp and immediately knew to be alert, hastily blocking Bing Xiulan with a vigorous wave of Qi.

"Stop fooling around!" Zhou Heng waved, pointing ahead, "Look!"

In the distance, one could already see the landing point of the chain, which was connected to a huge crystal coffin, and such chains were not just one but a total of eight, each coming from eight different directions!
