Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 100 — Black Pill
Zhou Yuan was still fixated on his body, he was sure that the aura was a real murderous aura.
Killer aura is only owned by those who are in the criminal world and work as assassins like the Night Bat Organization but even so not every killer has a killer aura.
Only those who are completely insane about murder can shape it, however taking one's life is not an easy matter because they will always feel doubt when doing it, fear and guilt.
Those who have lived in the criminal world for a long time always have doubts about killing someone.
Zhou Yuan was arguably the exception, because of the strange condition of his body he did not feel any emotions of doubt, fear, guilt while killing it.
Zhou Yuan sighed, he wanted to think about this murderous aura further but the situation was not right now. Zhou Yuan's attention was again fixed on the three remaining generals.
"The three of you won't give up, I'll give you a quick death if you don't fight back." Zhou Yuan already had no intention of fighting anymore and wanted to settle all of this quickly.
"You think we're gonna be scared because you killed two of our partners." The first general reacted. "You're wrong, I have the last way to kill you..."
The three generals then took something from his clothes in the form of pills.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the pills the three generals had swallowed, they were unusual especially in their pitch-black color.
Not long after the three generals swallowed the pill, from all over his body appeared black veins that began to propagate throughout the body. Not only that, the color of their eyes also turned red.
"Black pill!" Zhou Yuan was shocked when he realized the pill.
"Oh, you're aware of it but unfortunately it's too late. I'll tear you to a thousand pieces." The first general laughed.
The three generals immediately moved to attack Zhou Yuan first, the three began to launch their best attacks and wanted to quickly kill Zhou Yuan.
The members of the Black Ants who had been watching could only fall silent, they hesitated to help their general or run.
Everyone could see Zhou Yuan was a high-level swordsman, helping to fight him was not much different from taking lives but on the other hand if they ran away, they would feel bad luck if the Black Ants organization still survives tonight. For these two choices they can only remain silent.
Zhou Yuan faced the attack by relying on his speed as well as his body's ability to dodge, Zhou Yuan's brows slightly raised looking at the strength of his opponents.
"Their speed as well as strength increased so rapidly in such a short period of time, what is this black pill ingestion efficacy?" Zhou Yuan muttered as he dodged every attack there was.
After swallowing the black pill, the strength of his three opponents increased by two to three times that of before. Their attacks also became more aggressive and filled with a strong killing appetite.
In the first life the black pill was not efficacious to this extent, the White Peacock Organization seemed to have already discovered the ingredients that made the black pill to a higher level.
Just as Zhou Yuan was thinking while dodging, the three generals who attacked him with all their might began to sense something was wrong. They were confident in their strength now that even the peak swordsmen of the Golden Realm could not match him.
It was then that the first General realized the strength of the young man. "You! Don't tell me you're at the level of the Crystal Realm?!"
In response to this Zhou Yuan immediately smiled widely. "You just realized it, I don't think you're gonna realize it until this fight's over."
"No way, are you a senior swordsman in disguise?!" The first general shouted, "No young man like you has reached the Crystal Realm at this young age..."
Zhou Yuan did not reply but rather smiled increasingly wider, this made the three generals break out in cold sweat and realize the situation more clearly.
The three generals immediately increased their attacks to the highest level to immediately kill Zhou Yuan faster but before they did, the first general suddenly stopped moving and instantly vomited quite a lot of blood.
The first general felt intense pain all over his body until he finally did not move his body anymore, the remaining two generals did not attack Zhou Yuan any further when he saw the first general's reaction.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, he could see that the first general was in great pain from the look on his face. Not only that, faintly the profound energy in his body began to dissipate.
"I've been expecting to increase strength by that much and that short of a risk..." Zhou Yuan saw the strength of the first general continue to decline over time until it finally reached the basic point of a swordsman.
Not only did it get there, the wave of energy in his dantian disappeared so that the first general was now no longer a swordsman.
The condition of the first General was very sad, he was not much different from ordinary humans now even weaker due to the side effects of the black pill.
The last two generals who saw it were aware of the situation, they wanted to do something but suddenly Zhou Yuan had already appeared in front of the two and swung his sword.
Without any meaningful preparation, the two generals were unable to avoid Zhou Yuan's sword swing that was using the Five Elements Sword Technique. Their heads immediately separated from the spot after Zhou Yuan slashed his neck.
Zhou Yuan then looked towards the first general who was now lying on the ground with his breathing starting to weaken, the side effects of the black pill were in fact more terrifying than they looked.
"Look at your unfortunate fate now, you can't even end your life to end that terrible pain." Zhou Yuan shook his head while sighing. "But calm down, I'm being kind right now. You could die here sooner..."
Zhou Yuan immediately thrust his sword towards the heart of the first general to end his dying life.
The first general only thrashed for a moment before finally not moving any more, his eyes still opening showing the disbelief his life would be drifting tonight.
The members of the Black Ant Organization who were watching since earlier had already dispersed before Zhou Yuan killed the first general.
Zhou Yuan looked towards the blurred rogues, he immediately moved quickly after them. Zhou Yuan would not let any of them escape tonight or else there would be another village to attack like the one before.
The heart of the Black Ants members beat faster when they found out Zhou Yuan was chasing them.
"What makes you think you can run away from me, none of you will survive tonight!" Zhou Yuan smiled widely then swung his sword, killing several rogues in a single slash.
