Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 122 — Palace Attacks IV
The twenty swordsmen of the organization who had reached the golden realm approached towards Zhou Yuan and Jiang Yifei.
Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance, only then did he want to have Yifei look for a place to hide, they had already acted and came towards him.
"Daughter, back off... This time they're not your opponents." Zhou Yuan exerted a deep force on his sword, this time he had to use all his might against them.
Twenty Golden Realm warriors took out their respective weapons.
"Be careful, don't underestimate him, the youngster has a high ability in the sword and can kill the golden realm swordsman easily."
"I know, we better have to take that pill now before it's too late."
Zhou Yuan heard their conversation clearly, hearing the word pill made him daze for a moment before he finally got his answer.
The twenty warriors took out a pill in their robes before each began to swallow it.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened when he found out that the pill was a black pill. "You guys, you guys are from the White Peacock?!"
Zhou Yuan was surprised, in fact he had already suspected that this attack did not involve the Eternal Snow alone but was with some other organization but he did not expect the organization to be related to the White Peacock.
At once White Peacock is the organization that most avoids its involvement with the martial world because their group is nothing more than an illegal business group that emphasizes money and trade.
'Eternal Snow and White Peacock cooperate with each other, I just found out this...' Zhou Yuan did not know the information from his first life. 'No one can bring them together unless, for a minute, don't tell me this attack...'
Zhou Yuan held his breath as he realized the seriousness of the assault situation. If his conjecture was correct then the mastermind of the assault now came from the Sky Cloud Temple Organization.
After the 20 warriors of the organization swallowed the black pill, before long their bodies began to bring out black veins all over their bodies accompanied by their eyes that turned red.
Zhou Yuan realized their strength would increase after eating the pill so he was more vigilant now.
"Mr Princess get out of here, I'll hold them for you..." Zhou Yuan grasped his sword tighter without turning his head to the girl.
"But what about you?!" Yifei wanted to help but he realized his ability was not enough.
"I can defend against them, the most important thing is your safety."
Jiang Yifei bit his lips, having no choice he turned and left but only a few meters away did he move, the 5 warriors before Zhou Yuan broke away and blocked his path.
"Sweet girl, you think you're gonna let yourself escape..." One of the 5 warriors gave a small laugh.
"Don't underestimate the girl, she's so strong." The others tell.
"Hmph, he's fine if he's not with that young man."
Jiang Yifei clenched his hands hard, preparing to fight seriously, his body then enveloped by a blue flame like Jiang Qisha. Jiang Yifei had no other choice but to fight against the 5 warriors before him.
Zhou Yuan who saw the incident clucked in annoyance, he wanted to help Jiang Yifei but the 15 warriors of the nearby organization instantly started to move towards him.
Zhou Yuan had no other choice but to face them first at once, Zhou Yuan wished that Yifei could hold on until he finished off his opponents.
Zhou Yuan exerted a deep force on his sword then started using the sound sword technique to suppress the 15 warriors. Zhou Yuan's movements became light and smooth, his sword swings rhythmic as well as most impressively no sound when Zhou Yuan's swords clashed.
The quiet sound in the fight made the focus of Zhou Yuan's opponents so disturbed, as a result despite being surrounded by Zhou Yuan still offset them.
The Sound Sword Technique was a suitable sword technique when besieged like this, not only did Zhou Yuan match their attacks but he was also able to suppress his opponent slowly.
"This young man... How can?!" One of them was shocked to realize Zhou Yuan's strength.
By swallowing the black pill, both their stamina and physical strength had increased by several folds, it shouldn't be difficult to fight against Zhou Yuan alone yet they didn't expect Zhou Yuan to still hold such a terrifying strength in his body.
Zhou Yuan's physical forging that had achieved perfection helped him obtain extremely powerful manpower without the need to drain the power within. Every time Zhou Yuan's swords clashed, it would inflict pain on his opponent's hand.
Zhou Yuan poured out even greater amounts of power on his sword and continued to rain down on them, causing his opponents to start getting hurt.
While Zhou Yuan was in the favourable position, Jiang Yifei was in the opposite position.
Since the beginning of Jiang Yifei's chances of winning against the 5 golden realm warriors in front of him were indeed almost impossible, Jiang Yifei made the flames in his body as a defense to block their attacks.
If not for his 4 opponents intent on capturing the girl alive then Yifei had already lost his life.
"This girl has a beautiful body and face, it's a pity that we hurt her..." The swordsman who confronted Jiang Yifei.
"Can we hand this girl over to the Chairman after we put her on?" The other guy seemed to agree.
"Are you tired of living? The chairman will kill you if he dares to do so." The most senior swordsman snapped at the 2 people who spoke.
The five warriors who confronted Jiang Yifei seemed to be still in top shape, they did not attack the girl with all their strength as they intended to make Jiang Yifei exhausted.
The plan went perfectly, after some time Jiang Yifei started to get exhausted from continuing to use his blue flame technique as a defense.
As the flames enveloping the girl began to thin, one of them started moving towards Yifei at high speed.
Jiang Yifei was too late to realize that his opponent's tread attack landed heavily on his body.
Yifei was struck back with blood dripping at the corner of his lips, the girl's consciousness almost disappearing as a result of the attack.
When Yifei wanted to get back up, the warrior who attacked earlier had already appeared behind him. Without waiting, the swordsman hit the nape of Jiang Yifei's neck which instantly made the girl fall unconscious.
Zhou Yuan who saw Jiang Yifei's condition from a distance immediately reacted. He drained a huge deep energy into his navel and then swung powerfully, his 15 opponents who were holding the attack were instantly pushed a few meters away.
"Don't you guys bring the girl!" Anger began to envelop Zhou Yuan's heart.
After repelling his opponent Zhou Yuan did not attack them but instead ran towards the 5 warriors who were about to carry Jiang Yifei.
Zhou Yuan moved at high speed, besides he absorbed the light around him.
The five warriors who were about to hold Jiang Yifei were shocked as their gaze darkened abruptly, when they could look back at the five warriors finding Zhou Yuan already nearby.
The five swordsmen reacted then hurriedly raised their stakes when they saw Zhou Yuan swinging the sword towards them but unfortunately their weapons could not hold back Zhou Yuan's now discolored sword turned black thickly.
Using the moves from the Element Sword Technique, Zhou Yuan's Sword that changed into Kusanagi Sword instantly cut off their heirlooms along with his body at once. Five warriors were instantly killed in one swing.
Zhou Yuan looked at Jiang Yifei's condition and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized the girl was fine.
Zhou Yuan actually did not want to use the Kusanagi Sword because the sword could absorb its inner power, on the other hand he wanted to save power in knowing that this attack would last a long time.
Zhou Yuan had no other choice when he saw Jiang Yifei in danger so he used the sword. Zhou Yuan's gaze then turned to the 15 warriors he had previously fought against.
"Cabin! Let me finish you all here-!" Zhou Yuan drew his sword towards them, Kusanagi's sword-eye color became even darker after Zhou Yuan exerted a deep force on his sword.
