Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 120 — Palace Attacks II
Zhou Yuan calmed his feelings to calm down even though he was surrounded by enemies, Jiang Yifei was instead frightened but did not last long because after Zhou Yuan was nearby, the girl could be better prepared to respond to the situation.
Zhou Yuan stuck his sword on the ground and began to exert a deep force on both palms.
"I didn't expect to try this technique anytime soon..." Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and his eyes suddenly became radiant. "Dragon Light..."
In a short time Zhou Yuan absorbed all the light around him within ten meters, all the opposing views surrounding him instantly could not see, their eyes were as if they were covered in a dark black fog.
Jiang Yifei also reacted similarly, the light Zhou Yuan absorbed made the surrounding environment darker than the pitch of the night. This made the girl panic but Zhou Yuan patted her on the shoulder to calm down.
As the opponent was being shocked and finding out what was happening, Zhou Yuan did not wait and kept silent, he picked up the sword that was plugged into the ground earlier then moved towards his opponent and finished them off quickly.
Zhou Yuan could not maintain this absorption of light in less than 8 seconds, even if its duration was very short but sufficient for Zhou Yuan to finish off half the intruders surrounding it.
When the light returned, the intruders only found their comrades lifeless in a terrible way.
The intruders gulped and broke out in cold sweat, they did not know what happened to their comrades but seeing Zhou Yuan already standing with his blood-dripping sword, was enough to frighten the remaining intruders.
The intruders intended to turn around and escape but Zhou Yuan did not let that happen, he swung his sword at empty air, instantly a wind blade was created and shot towards them at high speed.
The intruders did not expect Zhou Yuan to be able to unleash a long-range attack so they were late in dodging the wind blades. Zhou Yuan's attack instantly killed them at once.
Jiang Yifei held his breath, Zhou Yuan's strength had really surprised him.
The girl originally thought she had gotten close to Zhou Yuan's ability after experiencing the great development of these few days from competing with the young man, but after seeing the current events, Jiang Yifei started to think again, instead, he could feel there was a different distance between him and Zhou Yuan.
Jiang Yifei felt that Zhou Yuan didn't seem to have a hard time killing him if he fought seriously.
"Mr Princess, we must hurry away now, this place is no longer safe!" Zhou Yuan extended his hand to the girl.
Jiang Yifei looked around, seemingly hesitant about doing so, he still could not believe there was a group of people who dared to do evil in this place of his residence.
"Mr Princess, I know this is very difficult for you to understand, so am I, but now is not the time for us to think about it. First we need to get out of here." Zhou Yuan still extended his hand.
Seeing Zhou Yuan who was still acting calm in such a situation, Jiang Yifei finally received a helping hand.
Zhou Yuan then brought Jiang Yifei out of his residence. Just as they opened the door, the two of them were immediately startled by the situation before him.
In front of Zhou Yuan and Jiang Yifei's eyes, the two of them saw the palace situation filled with chaos and a lot of fighting.
The battle involved the soldiers of the palace with warriors wearing all-black robes.
Of the two camps, Zhou Yuan saw the swordsmen who wore black robes more in number than the palace soldiers. This had an impact on the war situation which was dominated by the black-robed swordsman.
"Teacher, we have to help them..."
Watch Jiang Yifei go towards the palace maids who were running around. Those who do not control the martial arts remain targeted by the attacking group and do not hesitate to hurt him.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he actually wanted to see the situation further at the moment but he realized, it was not the time for him to analyze the situation.
When Zhou Yuan had just stepped up, suddenly dozens of needles shot towards him at high speed.
Zhou Yuan raised his navel and parried the needles with his sword. Zhou Yuan frowned as he recognized the needle.
"This serum... No way, why are the Eternal Snow weapons here?!" Zhou Yuan picked up one of the needles, he couldn't possibly forget about the organization's needles.
Zhou Yuan then turned his head towards the needleman, there were 20 people standing on the tile.
"So this attack was perpetrated by the Eternal Snow, I can't believe they're going to commit this reckless act..." Zhou Yuan shook his head while sighing.
As Zhou Yuan was still in the middle of thinking, the Eternal Snow members who attacked him were shocked when the young man was able to dodge their needle attacks easily when they were certain that Zhou Yuan had not seen him before.
"The person behind the man is the woman we're looking for, we have to catch him!" one of them whispered while looking at Jiang Yifei.
Without waiting, the two dozens members of the organization then attacked Zhou Yuan, twelve of them were melee fighters, as well, carrying a sword or spear while the other eight were long-distance fighters by throwing their poisonous needles.
Zhou Yuan welcomed the 12 warriors with his sword skills, even against 12 people at once, he still outperformed them easily.
Zhou Yuan was actually being annoyed that the needles that the Eternal Snow members threw made his attention to be divided. He was afraid that one of the needles would slide towards Jiang Yifei.
If there were no needles, perhaps Zhou Yuan had already killed some of his 12 opponents easily.
