"Zhou Heng, what is your talent? S-rank? SS-rank? Or SSS-rank?" the longevity-cursed species Li Hongshang asked gravely. She was about to die, and she had to take a gamble for the Longevity Family. Yet she was disappointed. Aside from the notifications for the activation of "Inferior Flute Music" and "Noble and Elegant Fighting Spirit," she never received so much as a glance from Zhou Heng. As a result, she had no chance to analyze his talent through his eyes.
Looking at Zhou Heng sitting there like a bard who had walked out of ancient times, the longevity-cursed species Li Hongshang saw, for a fleeting instant, the destruction of the Longevity Family that had stood for ten thousand years.
Riiip!
The flute music ended, followed by a clearly visible flash of sword light. She had no time to react. At level 1, she stood not the slightest chance against Zhou Heng wielding the Sakast Imperial Sword.
Watching her own head fly high and then crash heavily to the ground, the longevity-cursed species Li Hongshang said with the last of her strength, "Zhou Heng, you will die... The Elegant Ancient... Flute may be powerful, but how many... skills... have you unlocked...? We... have plenty of... ways to counter... counter you... Heh..." Leaving Zhou Heng with "fear" and "suspense," the longevity-cursed species Li Hongshang turned into light and vanished from the world.
Zhou Heng remained calm, ignoring the longevity-cursed species Li Hongshang's dying curse as he crouched down and collected her drops. Compared with Nock Saqiesi's drops, hers interested him more. The resources she dropped included not only the Fire Heart Crystal mentioned by Fate Hint, but also a Water Heart Crystal, a Wood Heart Crystal, and a Dark Heart Crystal. The one containing the encrypted black aura was the Fire Heart Crystal.
