Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 125 — VII Palace Attack
When Xiao Fan fought with Huang Zhang, at the eastern gate Yue Jian had to be met with the figure most sought after by the government during this time, the black pill maker, Xhi Wuxu.
Yue Jian who was in a fight was suddenly startled with next to the blade sheet pointing at him at high speed.
If not for his ability, Yue Jian would probably not have noticed the blade but fortunately he could have fended it off with his navel.
The throwing knife was a high quality heirloom, Yue Jian was pushed back two steps due to the attack.
Yue Jian became wary as he realized the person who threw the knife was someone who was in the swordsman of the Light Realm. Yue Jian turned his head towards the thrower, finding the old man whose entire hair had turned white, smiling towards him.
"Last we exchanged attacks I lost to you, this time I won't repeat the same incident..." The old man took off his robe, revealing the sharp knives behind it.
"Xhi Wuxu, you've finally shown yourself. I thought you'd keep hiding in the shadows." Yue Jian smiled sinisterly.
"I just want to warn you that don't mess with my black pill business, governments like you always make my business disrupted." Xhi Wuxu snorted in annoyance.
Yue Jian smiled coldly then released a wave of sword at Xhi Wuxu while shortening the distance between the two.
Xhi Wuxu dodged the wave and fended off some of the rest with a knife, when he looked towards Yue Jian, he found his opponent was already nearby.
Yue Jian swung his sword at Xhi Wuxu but the old man was able to dodge it easily, Yue Jian attacked back and Xhi Wuxu dodged a second time.
"Your power is much more enhanced than it used to be..." Yue Jian smiled faintly. "Is this the result of your pill?"
"Black pill can increase a person's strength without the need to practice, if it has an easy thing why do something difficult." Xhi Wuxu then threw a flying knife at Yue Jian who was easily stalked by him.
Yue Jian continued to shorten the distance between the two while Xhi Wuxu tried to take some distance, Xhi Wuxu was not very good at melee combat.
Xhi Wuxu who has a high skill in the speed of his steps so that he can easily keep his distance and release several knives. Xhi Wuxu also ate his artificial black pill which made his physical energy so increased.
"Should I admit your call is pretty impressive?" Yue Jian felt the strength of Xhu Wuxu constantly increasing.
"What a compliment, too bad I don't feel flattered."
The two exchanged attacks to make the warriors around him choose to keep their distance for fear of being affected by their fight.
On the same side at the west gate, Chu Guyu along with the two Elders of the Chu clan helped the palace warriors head off the organization army that wanted to break through to the palace.
Chu Guyu had the ability of a high-level kick technique in the Moon Empire, even without a weapon, hardly anyone would be willing to exchange attacks with the girl.
Every troop of the organization that fought Chu Guyu had to suffer a serious fracture when the girl's kick hit her body. Some of those who did not train his physical forging even had to lose their lives.
The two Elders who were with Chu Guyu were no less powerful either, they possessed abilities that reached the peak of the Crystal Realm.
With the strength of the three, the west gate could be saved for quite some time when suddenly there were two women who blocked Chu Guyu's steps.
Chu Guyu frowned after palpating the power of the two women, although slightly below his level, both of them possessed the level of the Light Realm.
Chu Guyu did not reply, his eyes paying attention to the two girls more thoroughly.
"Don't talk a lot, we have to get everything done now. I want to go inside the palace and take a lot of money there." The other girl grunted softly.
The two girls that were facing off against Chu Guyu were Mou Yu and Lin Ran.
Mou Yu was one of the four pillars of the Sky Cloud Temple Organization, having a graceful appearance in contrast to Lin Ran who had a beautiful and sweet young face. Lin Ran was the Leader of the Eternal Snow Organization.
"You two get out of here, they're no match for you..." Chu Guyu ordered his two Elders to leave.
The two Elders did not refute and directly obeyed Chu Guyu's orders, they also realized the two women were not ordinary warriors.
"Two to one? I thought it would be two against three, does Miss Guyu not mind this situation?" Lin Ran chuckled.
"Don't have much to say, let's end it all here."
Lin Ran and Mou Yu simultaneously moved to attack Chu Guyu simultaneously, Lin Ran released a poisonous needle in his fingers while Mou Yu took out two double swords behind him.
Both of them possessed abilities under Chu Guyu yet because attacking simultaneously made Chu Guyu a bit of a hassle he created.
"It's no wonder you're called the most genius girl in the martial world, the ability turns out to be this great." Lin Ran clucked in admiration.
Chu Guyu was able to dodge the needles that shot towards him simultaneously by dodging the two Mou Yu swords.
In contrast to Lin Ran's enthusiastic reaction, Mou Yu actually felt furious that Chu Guyu could avoid his two-sword technique even though in the martial world, his sword technique was very famous and difficult to avoid.
Chu Guyu chose silence and continued to dodge, after a few moves the two sides exchanged for Chu Guyu's attacks then unleashed a powerful kick.
Mou Yu who was within close proximity of Chu Guyu hurriedly held back the kick with her two swords, instead, Mou Yu was surprised when the swing of the kick was able to make him pushed a few meters with both hands holding him so painful and numb.
Chu Guyu unleashed another kick this time directed at Lin Ran, Chu Guyu's kick this time creating a wind blade that moved towards his opponent.
Lin Ran was surprised as he did not expect Chu Guyu to be able to do that with his kick, he immediately dodged but it was a little too late that finally a scratch wound was engraved on his cheek.
Lin Ran rubbed the blood that was on his cheek, his emotions instantly burst out realizing his face was injured.
"Radly woman-! I'll chop your body into a thousand pieces!" Lin Ran removed the needles in his fingers this time around more.
Lin Ran who always kept his face to stay sweet and look young hates someone who hurt him the most, the sweet nature of the girl immediately disappeared after showing her true nature.
Mou Yu also did not stay still, he flowed the power inside on his two swords which made the double heirloom flowed by lightning. Mou Yu again narrowed the distance he and Chu Guyu had.
Facing the two attacks Chu Guyu smiled faintly, he drained on both of his legs, preparing to face the two of them.
