Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 127 — IX Palace Attack
The action of the four golden swords that floated up shocked everyone at the battle site including the palace soldiers.
They rubbed their eyes repeatedly, still unable to believe any sword could float in the air and move themselves like that. The palace soldiers thought that it was all an illusion but the sword-killed organization troops actually died after he penetrated their bodies.
The palace soldiers began to fear because of the action of the sword that easily killed its victims, but soon they realized the 4 swords did not hunt those on the government side.
Although only a few seconds but the arrival of the four swords was enough to kill dozens of troops of the organization, the casualties continued to increase significantly over time.
On the other hand the organization troops targeted by the four swords felt threatened, they forgot the fight with the soldiers and chose to focus on facing the sword.
They tried to catch the golden sword but always failed because it moved at high speed.
In addition to wanting to capture him, the organization army also hoped to possess that sword. Looking at his sharpness there was no doubt that the four were high-level heirlooms.
Not a few of them tried to attack behind the sword because they thought that there was someone invisible controlling it, but the effort was futile, their attacks only hit empty air.
"No way, how can it be?!"
"It's magic, it's magic!"
The organization forces were frustrated that they could not stop the golden sword, moreover they realized that only the members of the organization were being targeted by the sword.
While the situation was in turmoil, suddenly from above the sky someone came and landed in the middle of the battle, that person was carrying a black-colored sword in his hand.
When that person came instantly the four golden swords that were chasing the organization army turned direction and flew towards him, The four golden swords did not attack that person but rather flew around him.
All attention was on the person, as he realized he was the mastermind controlling the golden sword.
"You want this sword?" Zhou Yuan smiled coldly towards the organization army. "Then I'll leave it to you..."
Zhou Yuan plucked his finger as the 4 golden swords around him moved back to attack the organization, while Zhou Yuan did not remain silent, swinging Kusanagi's sword towards his opponent.
Realizing Zhou Yuan was on the same side, the palace warriors could breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yuan's arrival quickly turned things around, not only was the action of his four golden swords shocking everyone but the young man's ability was not that much terrifying.
With his sword Zhou Yuan was able to finish off two to three of his opponents in a single swing, it made the person who saw him gulp and break out in cold sweat.
Zhou Yuan felt his strength increase after his inner power was restored by Grandpa Bai. He did not understand but his body became lighter and more powerful.
The four golden swords also did not stay still, they moved quickly and pierced through the bodies of their opponents. In a matter of minutes, Zhou Yuan had already finished off half of the organization's army.
The organization's forces were feeling desperate, they were sure that if this battle continued then their side would be slaughtered.
Without waiting any longer the organization party started to flee out of the palace but the soldiers did not let them just like that.
Within five minutes, the organizational forces at the site began to fall to the ground. The efforts of those who wanted to escape felt futile as the golden sword chased after them at high speed.
"Young master thank you for saving us..." The soldier did not know Zhou Yuan's identity, although they were still young they still paid their respects to him for helping him.
Zhou Yuan nodded. "Uncle, we'd better heal the wounded soldiers first while some others go to locations in need of reinforcements..."
"Young master, then what about you?"
Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly then pointed at the bird demon that was still dropping the organization army. "I will overcome them first, the bird demon makes us troubled because it brings many enemies from the outside inside."
After saying so, Zhou Yuan climbed up one of the golden swords and stood on top of it, the sword then floated with Zhou Yuan up into the sky.
Although it could be controlled over long distances, the golden sword had its own range. When it was at a sufficient distance, Zhou Yuan then controlled the remaining 3 swords and aimed at the bird demon.

One by one the bird demons that were above the sky began to diminish in an incomprehensible way. The stealth riders knew nothing as their comrades began to fall down.
It took a while for the riders to realize the existence of the three swords hovering in the air. Even if they saw it, it was hard for them to think it was reality.
After realizing that the sword had actually killed their demon, the riders only realized that the floating sword was real, only to realize that the situation had not changed much for them.
The riders tried to avoid the sword by controlling the bird stealth, even so the speed of the sword was not something that was easily avoided by the movements of the bird stealth.
As time went on the number of bird stealth above the palace began to decrease significantly, although the sword did not lead to its rider but as their bird stealth plunged downwards, it continued, the rider was killed by a fall at a high altitude.
Zhou Yuan continued to aim his 3 swords at the heart of the bird demon, the golden sword Grandpa Bai gave off was extremely sharp and could easily pierce through the hard stealthy skin of birds.
Zhou Yuan guessed that the sword that had a shiny golden color was a Cloud-class heirloom.
The fallen demons began to be realized by those below, there were about five hundred bird stealth on the organization side so that the bird stealth was killed like rain in the sky.
Not a few of them were hit by the bird's stealth, those who were hit will experience injuries that are not light.
Realizing that something was after them, the bird stealth riders, especially the Chairman, finally chose to retreat and split in various directions.
Zhou Yuan would naturally not let that happen and move his golden sword even faster just that due to their large numbers, Zhou Yuan only left dozens of them.
Such an amount did not harm anymore, Zhou Yuan was sure the demon riders would be frightened and would not dare to return.
Floating above the sky made Zhou Yuan able to see the situation of the palace residence more clearly. Zhou Yuan then turned his head down and began to lower his sword back, this time he would focus on eradicating the organization troops that were in the interior of the palace.
