Chapter 12: Evil Creature

Although there were only Bronze Lucky Bags, Zhou Heng was still pleasantly surprised.

If the Lucky Bags were of a higher tier, he would welcome them of course. However, he still had to count on luck at the end of the day. As long as he had luck, he could get extraordinary techniques like Broken Sword Style from the Bronze Lucky Bags as well.

At the same time, Zhou Heng thought about the mechanism of Lucky Bags’ drops.

‘It seems to be related to the opponent’s level of capability.

‘When I barely defeated Master Lin, the evaluation I got was “an evenly matched opponent” and I was rewarded a Silver Lucky Bag.

‘But the evaluation I got this time was “an average opponent” after I defeated Sun Zhengpin and I was rewarded three Bronze Lucky Bags.

‘In this case, there may be other ratings. I could get one Bronze Lucky Bag, three Silver Lucky Bags, or even a Gold Lucky Bag.

‘The higher the defeated opponent’s rating of capability, the better the Lucky Bag quality should be as well.

‘Well, it makes sense.’

As Zhou Heng was overjoyed, Sun Zhengpin was caught up in unprecedented self-doubt.

“Why? How could this happen? I-I actually lost to a yokel from a valley?

“This is impossible. I’m the second young master of the Sun family, and the eldest senior brother of Unity Martial Arts School’s apprentices. Besides, I have perfected one of the ninth-class sword techniques. I’m a genius who may advance to the ninth class before turning thirty!

 “How could I lose to a yokel?

“No! This is impossible!

“Do I have to let that guy protect Ms. Qingqing and watch them get close to each other?”

Sun Zhengpin started to imagine things, and numerous scenes that made him distraught appeared in his mind.

Scenes of Zhou Heng escorting Ms. Qingqing back to her hometown. Along the way, they encountered many dangers, but he saved her. He won her heart and asked her to marry him. After they returned to Yellow Wood City, they got married and spent the night together.

Their child was born after ten months, and they lived happily ever after. On the other hand, Sun Zhengpin could only stand alone in the cold weather and watch the happy family. How tragic was that?

Sun Zhengpin started to cry as he thought about it. He lamented his misfortune. After so much effort a yokel from the valley had beaten him!

Damn it!

Damn it!

“No! How could this be? How could this be?”

Suddenly, Sun Zhengpin shouted in anger. At that moment, his love for Wang Qingqing turned into resentment toward Zhou Heng. He shouted, “I can’t accept this! I will never accept this!”

Zhou Heng was shocked when he saw Sun Zhengpin’s sudden outburst. He quickly took a few steps back and said softly, “Hey, are you okay? You only lost one round.

“You don’t have to be that upset. Your life is still long, you’ll still have many chances. There won’t be a next time if you die because of anger.”

“A yokel like you has no right to lecture me!” Sun Zhengpin gnashed his teeth while he looked at Zhou Heng. His face was full of anger and hatred, and his eyes had become blood red.

Huh?

Blood red?

Zhou Heng was stunned when he saw Sun Zhengpin’s eyes. He realized that Sun Zhengpin’s eyes seemed to have turned red, but they were not bloodshot. His eyes were beaming with a blood-red light!

Sun Zhengpin’s body was releasing an extremely strong killing intent as well as strange, evil energy. It even condensed into strands of blackish-purple smoke that emerged from his body.

Sun Zhengpin’s skin started to turn blackish green. Cracks broke out on his skin. Viscous purple liquid flowed out of those cracks!

He had turned into something that was not human!

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, there were sharp cracking pops from Sun Zhengpin’s neck!

At the next moment, his head was seemingly lifted by an invisible hand and pulled out forcefully from his neck by force. Some of his bloody spine was even exposed!

Then, things that looked like insect legs grew on the joints of this spine. They kept on waving and caused Sun Zhengpin’s head to fly in the air!

This made it seem like a blood-colored centipede with a human head!

Many onlookers under the ring fainted on the spot after they saw such a bizarre and terrifying scene.

Zhou Heng, who saw this monster from close range, got goosebumps.

What the heck was that?!

“Ahhh! Die! Die! Die! Die!”

The human head centipede spoke with Sun Zhengpin’s voice. At the same time, both sides of its mouth suddenly split all the way to the back of its head. It looked as if its head had been divided into two halves from the mouth, and both the top and bottom had teeth. It kept on opening and closing before rushing toward Zhou Heng!

“What the hell?!”

Zhou Heng quickly dodged. He felt his head buzzing, and his vision blurring. It seemed like this human head centipede could deliver invisible mind attacks.

Clank!

Right then, a deafening sword whistle rang to the horizon. Zhou Heng’s fuzzy vision instantly cleared up.

Then, a sword light appeared out of nowhere and slashed down.

It was a long sword that instantly pierced Sun Zhengpin’s head. It pierced the top of the head and came out from the mouth, nailing the human head centipede to the ring’s flagstone.

“Ahhh!”

Sun Zhengpin’s head screamed a few times, and his spine twisted and churned for a while. Then, the dozens of insect legs that grew on the spine stopped moving and the blood-red light in his eyes had dimmed as well. There was nothing but silence as it died completely.

But the eyes were still wide open and staring at Zhou Heng fiercely. It was extremely terrifying when one died without closing his eyes.

Zhou Heng heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know what to do when facing such a weird monster. Fortunately, someone had saved him.

But who delivered the sword light attack?

It was incredible!

“You watched Cheng Jiangjian perform Master Fifth-Class Star Falling Style. An inexplicable understanding appeared in your mind. The level of proficiency increased by 0.0000001.”

Zhou Heng was a little dumbfounded to know that this was possible as well.

That gain of proficiency was almost hilarious. It only increased by 1/1,000,000, which made no difference.

But this was actually a master fifth-class martial art. It was the first time he saw such high-class martial arts.

The martial arts of the top three classes and the middle three classes usually had unified prefixes, such as secret sixth-class, master fifth-class, extreme fourth-class, and such. These prefixes had special meanings, unlike the bottom three classes that only had numbers.

Of course, a person who could use a fifth-class martial art was not necessarily a fifth-class grandmaster. When it came to techniques, a person in the ninth class had the chance to learn a fifth class or even a fourth class martial arts as well.

But judging from the power of this attack, the person who slashed it might be at least from the eighth-class or even seventh-class.

“Are you all right?”

Suddenly, there was a soft and pleasant female voice.

Zhou Heng raised his head and looked at the source of the sound. He saw a slender person fly down from the top of the attic not far away.

The woman was tall and slender. She was dressed in a white martial arts outfit. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, making her seem heroic.

Unfortunately, she was wearing a mask, so he could not see her face.

The mask had a white background with a face pattern painted in gold. She looked like a rich person from theatrical productions.

Zhou Heng gave her a brief scan and did not observe her too closely. After the woman landed, he saluted her and said, “Thank you for helping me, Miss. I’m fine.”

“It’s my duty, so you don’t have to thank me.” The woman slightly nodded. At the same time, she raised her hand and took the long sword which had previously killed Sun Zhengpin back without touching it directly.

Zhou Heng’s pupils shrank a little. Taking things without touching them was a skill for those who were at the very least at the top of the seventh-class. She was actually a Seventh-Class martial artist?

Her voice sounded young. She might be even younger than twenty.

At that time, the woman looked around and landed her gaze on Zhou Heng at the end. She smiled and said, “You’re an unranked martial artist, but you didn’t fall unconscious on the spot. That is remarkable.”

“Unconscious?” Zhou Heng was dumbfounded. He got what she meant after he looked at the surroundings. It turned out that everyone around the ring had fainted.

Regardless of whether it was Minister Wang and Ms. Wang on the high platform or the people under the ring, on the street, on the trees, and on the high wall, everyone was unconscious.

Yu He was no exception.

“Did this thing scare them?” Zhou Heng pointed at Sun Zhengpin’s head and asked in confusion, “Do you know what this thing is, Miss?”

“It is an evil being. As for the specific situation, it is not convenient for me to explain it.”

The woman shook her head lightly and took a palm-sized jade gourd from the brocade bag on her waist.

Huh?

Zhou Heng looked at the gourd in the woman’s hand while feeling surprised and curious.

How did she take out such a large gourd from such a small brocade bag?

Was this the legendary Universe Bag?

At that moment, the woman had come to the side of Sun Zhengpin’s head. She poured a drop of clear liquid from the jade gourd on Sun Zhengpin’s head.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

There was a sharp sound, and a foul-smelling blackish-purple smoke rose from Sun Zhengpin’s head. His two glaring eyes suddenly rolled out of his eye sockets, pulling out a slender body with dozens of insect legs on it.

Zhou Heng was stunned when he saw it. He had this disgusting insect to still be alive. It seemed like it had multiplied into two.

Then, the woman moved her sword and cut off the two insects’ bodies from the eyeballs. The two eyeballs soon withered and decayed into ashes.

However, the two insects’ bodies curled up and shone red. They got near to each other and became entangled. After that, they gathered together and formed a walnut-sized pill.

“This person was an unranked martial artist, right?” the woman pointed at Sun Zhengpin’s body and asked Zhou Heng.

“That’s right.” Zhou Heng nodded.

“He gained the abilities of a ninth-class martial artist after taking this pill. At the same time, this evil creature inhabited his body.”

The woman softly said while slashing using her sword, causing the sword’s edge to flash. The pill directly turned into dust and dissipated.

“Parasite?” Zhou Heng asked in surprise after hearing that, “An evil parasitize?”

“I can’t say much about the evil creature.” The woman shook her head. She looked around and said, “Fortunately, the thousands of people present were scared and fainted on the spot. They will only think of the appearance of the evil creature as a dream. Otherwise, it will be troublesome.”

As the woman talked about this, she said to Zhou Heng, “I will take care of this incident and the death of Sun Zhengpin. You don’t have to worry about the follow-ups. I only want you to promise me one thing.

“Can you please keep this a secret? Don’t let this incident and the evil creature be known. This is extremely important, and I hope that you can give me your word.”
