Chapter 60: Prisoner

  Zhou Heng and Lin Fuxiang were both startled. Neither of them could have imagined that there would still be other people here!

  Won't another jackass pop out?

  Zhou Heng's heart was racing as he jumped down to the bottom of the giant rock, parted the vines on both sides, and suddenly a person appeared!

  He was said to be a human, but he couldn't be considered completely human because he had a pair of wings on his back that resembled those of a bat, and his height was at least three times that of an ordinary person!

  This is a man, completely naked, with dark purple skin, thin as a bamboo pole, almost just a skeleton. He was lying on the ground with his back up, and there were a pair of huge bat wings growing from his shoulder blades, half open, with sharp edges that seemed to be stained with blood.

  What made Zhou Heng even more strange was that those blood-red vines were rooted in the winged man's body, as if they were using the flesh and blood of this person as nutrients. But obviously there was nothing binding the winged man, his body seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, making him unable to move at all.

  Hiss!

  He suddenly felt a strange chill all over his body.

  "Ah——" Lin Fengxiang also jumped down, saw a naked man lying there, and immediately kicked him with one foot, shouting "hooligan", and quickly turned around.

  This kick landed on the winged person's left arm, and a crisp sound of bone fracture was heard. The winged person's left arm suddenly broke into two pieces.

  If it were a normal person, they would have shouted loudly in pain and furrowed their brows, at the very least showing some expression. But this winged person didn't show even a hint of emotional change, barely lifting his head to say to Zhou Heng: "Save... me..."

  The voice is weak, like a candle in the wind, and the flame of life may go out at any moment.

  "How can I save you?" Zhou Heng said calmly, he had been through countless strange things and was no longer the confused teenager who had just left Yuanshi Town.

  "Just... pull out... the vines on me..." Winged person said in a weak voice.

  "What on earth are you?" Lin Xiangxiang came back to her senses, and she finally realized that this winged guy wasn't intentionally trying to flirt with her. Suddenly, she felt a great curiosity about his wings.

  She was afraid of needles and hid behind Zhou Heng's back to ask.

  "I'm an innocent person, caught by a wicked man and tortured with this blood-sucking vine!" The winged person spoke in a voice that seemed to be on the verge of death.

  "Let's save him, Xiaoqi ghost!" Lin Fengxiang said to Zhou Heng.

  Zhou Heng shook his head, he always had a feeling that the winged person in front of him seemed weak and feeble, but inside, he was harboring earth-shattering power. If he was just deceiving them into letting him out, then once he broke free, the roles of host and guest would be reversed.

  "Tell me about your origins!" Zhou Heng said calmly, "How did you grow a pair of wings? Are you even human?"

  "Little brother, I'm too tired now and can't answer your questions. First help me remove the vines from my body, after I get out, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!" But Winged Man just urged Zhou Heng to help him escape.

  "I don't believe you!" Zhou Heng shook his head, "This place has been sealed for who knows how many years, you haven't eaten or drunk anything, and yet you're still being tormented by this so-called Bloodthirsty Vine. A normal person would have died ten thousand times over!"

  "Let you escape from trouble, if you are evil, who can stop it?"

  It is said that one must always be on guard against others, but Zhou Heng had helped a few people in distress only to be abandoned by them and even turned against him, making him never dare to trust others again.

  Moreover, back then he couldn't even defeat Shi Gang and they could still run away, but this winged person in front of him... gave rise to an unprecedented sense of fear from the bottom of his heart, something that Jin Tengyi's level absolutely couldn't give him.

  So strong!

  Even if the Spirit Realm is powerful, at most it can go without eating or drinking for ten days to half a month. But this winged person has been here for how long? At least half a year!

  Is this still human?

  Moreover, this place is full of eerie atmosphere, the evil energy can turn people into red-haired monsters and take away their sanity. Although this winged person is weak, his mind is absolutely clear, that is to say he is not afraid of the evil energy!

  Zhou Heng relied on Hei Jian to ward off evil spirits, but this winged person could achieve it by himself, and was still in an extremely weak state!

  All of this adds up to prove that these winged people possess terrifyingly immense power!

  The winged man stared at Zhou Heng, and the two black eyeballs suddenly changed color, blood red as scarlet. Two visible rays of light shot out instantly, respectively piercing Zhou Heng's and Lin Fengxiang's foreheads.

  This is even faster than lightning!

  Zhou Heng had long been prepared for defense, but the two rays of light were too fast, so fast that his consciousness had just reacted, and the cold light had already shot to his forehead, straight in.

  He suddenly trembled all over, and felt a extremely evil consciousness invading from his forehead, rushing towards his sea of consciousness, actually wanting to expel his consciousness and occupy the control of his body!

  Black Sword!

  Zhou Heng called out in his heart, and with a hum, the black sword in his dantian suddenly quivered. An overwhelming aura instantly surged throughout his body, like hot water pouring over snow, clearing away all evil consciousness wherever it passed.

  Consciousness returned, Zhou Heng suddenly opened his eyes to find that Lin Fengxiang had already walked to the side of Wing Man and was removing the vines from his body!

  "Halt!" he shouted loudly, taking a big step forward and rushing towards Lin Fengxiang.

  "Huh, couldn't control the soul?" A look of confusion flashed across Wing's face, just as he was about to try again, but saw that Zhou Heng's hand now held a dark and black broken sword.

  A cold light shot out and just arrived in front of Zhou Heng, but it suddenly burst and disintegrated into thousands of tiny particles.

  "What?!" The winged person's face changed greatly.

  At this moment, Zhou Heng had already grabbed Lin Fengxiang and pulled her back. However, the girl's hands were tightly grasping a vine, and when Zhou Heng pulled her, the vine was suddenly yanked out of Wing Person's left arm!

  The mutated tendril seemed like a living creature, and as soon as it left Wing's body, it stretched towards Lin Xiang.

  Even Lian Naiyi's formidable strength was drained to the point of exhaustion, how many rounds could Lin Fuxiang's slender body withstand? Would this vine spare her because she was a beauty?

  Zhou Hengxian hastily swung his sword at the vines.

  With a crisp sound, the sword fell, and the vines were instantly cut off. Although the roots had grown onto Lin Fengxiang's back, they withered and dropped off immediately.

  "Ow!" Lin Fengxiang's pretty face changed color, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she clenched her teeth.

  Zhou Heng turned his head to look, and saw that Lin Xiangxiang's back had an additional blood hole, with fresh blood seeping out, a blood stain rapidly expanding. He hastily used his spiritual power to seal the wound, helping Lin Xiangxiang stop the bleeding.

  "What, what!" The winged person merely stared at the severed root system of the vine on the ground, "Even the demonic bloodsucking vine has been cut off! What kind of treasure is this? What kind of treasure is this?"

  He suddenly looked sharp-eyed and raised his head towards Zhou Heng, saying: "Youngster, give me that sword, I can make you the number one master in the world!"

  "Save your energy!" Zhou Heng picked up Lin Fengxiang and retreated several dozen meters.

  "Must you toast and not drink, or drink a penalty?" Wing's expression changed in an instant, a terrifying aura emanating from his body, transforming him from a dying invalid to the supreme ruler of the Star Universe!

  Mighty power, boundless prestige! The whole universe comes to pay homage!

  Zhou Heng only felt a strong sense of powerlessness rising from his heart, and he felt that the person in front of him was absolutely impossible to defeat, even if he became a million or a billion times stronger!

  Disheartened and demotivated, I just want to surrender at his feet!

  No way!

  How can I give up so easily! Although I am weak now, it doesn't mean that I won't be strong in the future!

  In Zhou Heng's dull eyes, a strong fighting spirit suddenly burst out, burning more and more fiercely. With a loud hum, the black sword in his hand responded, emitting an even stronger and more terrifying aura.

  "Not——" The winged man was the first to bear the brunt, and he let out a stifled hum. The majestic aura that had just risen up instantly dissipated, and he turned back into a frail old man on the verge of death. What's more, previously he still had some power to resist the blood-sucking vines, but in order to suppress Zhou Heng, he had consumed quite a bit, and now he was completely powerless to resist. Instantly, he let out another miserable cry, and in an instant, he was sucked dry into a human prune!

  The vitality of this winged person was so strong that it was terrifying, and even though they didn't die, their body gradually showed signs of filling up.

  This completely transcended Zhou Heng's understanding!

  If the human body loses too much blood, it will absolutely die! But these winged people were sucked dry and yet still alive, and not just for a day or two, but for an absolute long time that makes one's hair stand on end!

  What kind of existence is this?

  "You young fool!" The winged man shouted, his eyes constantly changing between black and blood red, his body swelling and shrinking, as if he was experiencing great pain.

  He stretched out his only free left hand towards Zhou Heng, the broken arm shaking back and forth, but as soon as it was stretched out halfway, it began to rot, from the hand extending to the arm, then to the shoulder, and finally to the whole body!

  This powerful existence that Zhou Heng could hardly imagine has turned into nothing but flying ashes!

  It serves him right for being unlucky. If he hadn't harbored malicious intentions towards Zhou Heng, he wouldn't have mustered his limited strength to attack Zhou Heng. However, he didn't expect to provoke the "fury" of the Black Sword, which dealt him a fatal blow!

  As a result, Zhou Heng didn't gain anything!

  This winged person is absolutely powerful beyond compare; if one could absorb his strength, what kind of heights would he be able to reach?

  Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh in regret, he lowered his head and took a glance at the beauty in his arms, then continued on his way.

  Everything here is eerie, if not for the black sword in hand, Zhou Heng's only choice would be to turn around and walk back, but now he has the courage and confidence to continue forward, and not figuring everything out would be a kind of torture.

  Lin Fengxiang had already fainted, and Zhou Heng carried her on his back. With his current cultivation in the Gathering Spirit Realm, he could carry her for decades without feeling a hint of fatigue.

  What is this place?

  From what I've seen of the winged people's situation, this seems like a prison, and there's even blood-sucking torture!

  Wait, these wild blood-sucking vines that are growing so luxuriantly all over the mountain, how much fresh blood have they sucked from people?

  Zhou Heng's eyes swept around, and a strong sense of shock suddenly arose in his heart.
