Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 129 — End of Attack

Seeing the number of casualties his troops continued to drastically decrease, Guo Zhengxa could not help but be vexed.

That hovering sword had completely changed the battle situation quickly, making the palace warriors who were originally at a disadvantage so have the upper hand.

Guo Zhengxa unleashed a light site attack with a large amount of energy while Jiang Qisha did the same thing, the two clashing sites stirred up the surrounding air vibes as well as making the two pushed up by several meters.

Guo Zhengxa did not continue his attack towards Jiang Qisha but instead released 3 balls of light into the sky, just like before, the ball of light exploded like fireworks at a sufficient height but what was different was the meaning of the explosion sign.

Jiang Qisha looked at the ball of light for a moment before looking at Guo Zhengxa, "You decided to leave, I thought we would play here longer..."

Guo Zhengxa snorted in annoyance. "We continue this fight next time..."

Jiang Qisha smiled faintly, not answering while Guo Zhengxa started to step foot away from the palace.

Guo Zhengxa could see if this attack continued then his side would lose, the floating golden sword completely disrupted the entire plot of battle in the palace area.

Although it was a pity that his plan failed Guo Zhengxa could not let his troops be killed in vain because of the savagery of the sword.

Before long the sign released by Guo Zhengxa sounded, the surrounding organization troops began to retreat and leave the palace.

Of course their escape must be interrupted by the floating sword but in the end almost half were able to escape.

At the other gate location the situation was not much different, When Guo Zhengxa decided to retreat Huang Zhang had no other choice but to invite his troops to turn around.

Huang Zhang was not satisfied fighting Xiao Fan after receiving a scratch on his cheek from the swing of the red-haired grandfather's sword.

Huang Zhang's and Xiao Fan's sword techniques were arguably almost evenly matched with Xiao Fan slightly more on it.

"If you're not satisfied fighting, you can stay here longer, I'll serve you anytime..." Xiao Fan was also actually dissatisfied, the same as Huang Zhang, he also had scratches on his body.

Huang Zhang clucked, "You managed to surpass me because I have one hand... Don't assume our abilities are the same."

Xiao Fan smiled wryly, unable to refute Huang Zhang's words because that was exactly what it was. Huang Zhang also had his physical strength under him, if both of them were in the same condition perhaps Huang Zhang could surpass Xiao Fan.

Without another word Huang Zhang then set foot, leaving the palace with the others.

"It's a pity that I have to go, the next meeting I'm really going to kill you." Xhi Wuxu looked at Yue Jian coldly.

Yue Jian was currently in a wound-filled position, Xhi Wuxu cunningly released a blade towards the palace warriors which made his concentration have to split. As a result, several knives hit him, although not a serious wound, but the wound was enough to affect the fight.

Yue Jian cussed inwardly, if only the two were currently fighting alone might he have already given the pill maker an attack.

Xhi Wuxu again swallowed another black pill before leaving the location, Yue Jian who saw him drifting away was finally able to breathe with relief.

Xhi Wuxu's power level was actually below Yue Jian but the old man was consuming a black pill that made his strength increase rapidly.

Seeing the organization army begin to move away, Yue Jian swallowed the pill he was carrying before taking a cross-legged sitting position and focusing on healing the wounds on his body.

In a different place, Chu Guyu swung another kick to make Mou Yu and Lin Ran who were nearby pushed a few steps.

Mou Yu and Lin Ran cussed in annoyance and the emotions of the two peaked, when they wanted to strike back suddenly above the sky there was the sound of a burst of light. The facial expressions of Mou Yu and Lin Ran instantly changed.

"I think you two should go..." Chu Guyu smiled faintly as he pointed at the golden sword that slaughtered the troops that the two women led.

Despite not knowing the meaning of the light ball sign yet Chu Guyu could guess that the explosion meant that the organization troops had to retreat.

"Why did Chief Guo order us to retreat?!" Lin Ran said furiously as he stomped his feet against the ground violently, he was eager to tear Chu Guyu apart right now for daring to incise a wound on his face.

"Just take it this time you're lucky, next time I'll kill you into a thousand pieces!" Mou Yu snorted, even though he was as angry as Lin Ran but he still attached great importance to the marks of Guo Zhengxa.

The attention of Mou Yu was also actually unable to focus when his troops had to be killed by the floating sword, with the heavy hearts of Mou Yu and Lin Ran leaving the location of the fight followed by the others.

Not long after Lin Ran and Mou Yu left, the two Chu Elders who were always with Chu Guyu came and approached him.

The two Chu Elders clucked in awe when they saw Chu Guyu fighting and managed to dominate both of his opponents with his kick science.

"Matriark, you're amazing, we're stunned to see the ability..." One of the elders was about to flatter Chu Guyu when suddenly the girl fell to her knees.

Chu Guyu spewed out black blood in his mouth, his breath hunting as well as cold sweat flooding his body.

"Matriark, are you poisoned?" The two elders were shocked to see the condition of their leader.

Chu Guyu did not reply, he wiped the blood on his lips before swallowing a pill.

Chu Guyu had to eat his secret pill to ease the ferocity of the pill, fortunately with the pill the poison was successfully neutralized despite staying a little longer.

Chu Guyu could have cleared all of the poison but it would take a long time to neutralize it completely with some profound strength. Chu Guyu chose to recover his condition first.

Zhou Yuan watched as all the organization troops left the palace from afar, he breathed a sigh of relief after his efforts bore the desired results.

Despite having the power to control four sharp swords, Zhou Yuan's ability was still not enough to injure the swordsman in the light realm let alone kill him.

Zhou Yuan momentarily controlled the sword to injure Huang Zhang but it could easily be avoided and repelled.

Therefore Zhou Yuan changed his plan and began to finish the Gold Realm warrior down. The plan was successful and made the organization's forces escape.

Zhou Yuan's breathing had now become irregular, as a result of controlling all four swords at once for a long time, his inner strength had almost reached its limit.

"Yuan'er, it turns out you're mastering it faster than I thought..."

"Grandfather Bai!"

Zhou Yuan was surprised when he heard the voice then turned to find Grandpa Bai already standing beside him with a big smile.

Grandfather Bai then looked around the palace grounds where the battle could be said to have been completed.

Grandfather Bai then pinched his finger, making the four swords that Zhou Yuan was controlling from afar suddenly turn a bow and point towards approaching him.

The four swords arrived at Grandpa Bai's side in no time. "I think you've done your business Yuan'er, may I ask you to come back?"

Zhou Yuan nodded. "Thank you Grandpa Bai for helping me."

Grandfather Bai smiled then then swung his hand, the four golden swords instantly disappeared.

Zhou Yuan looked at the incident to the point of holding his breath, he was still unfamiliar with what Grandpa Bai was doing which he thought was very strange and out of his mind.

One thing was certain, Zhou Yuan felt Grandpa Bai was like his teacher in his first life, a great swordsman who had great power but no one knew about it.

The nature of Teacher Zhou Yuan was also exactly like Grandpa Bai who was unwilling to get involved in the martial world, he chose to live his old age quietly.

"Then I say Yuan'er, don't get me wrong but this isn't a farewell, as I said, I feel like fate will bring us together again..." Grandpa Bai swung his hand back, now a portal appeared in the empty space.

The portal continued to grow so that Grandpa Bai could fit into it, Grandpa Bai entered the portal and the same portal shrank before disappearing.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, after seeing that the battle had ended Zhou Yuan so remembered with Jiang Yifei, he went there wanting to make sure the girl was okay.

***

Jiang Yifei regained consciousness from his stupor and found him on the bed. Jiang Yifei was not alone, there was a soldier who shortly afterwards came after his consciousness returned.

"Mr Princess, have you been sober?"

"Uncle, what really happened..." Jiang Yifei did not know because he had fainted because suddenly his vision darkened against his enemy.

The soldier then told him what happened to Jiang Yifei after he was unconscious, the soldier did not know why the girl had fainted but there must have been a young man who saved her and brought her here.

"Where is the young man now?"

"That's the problem the servant didn't know, after escorting the Princess he went straight from here..."

Jiang Yifei had a bad premonition, he still remembered how the battle was so terrible, full of injuries and murders. Although the girl acknowledged Zhou Yuan's ability but in the face of the great battle, the girl doubted him.

Jiang Yifei then hurried out of the secret room, just as he was about to pass through the library door, the person he was looking for appeared.

"Mr Princess, you've come to your senses..." Zhou Yuan smiled when he saw the girl.

Beyond Zhou Yuan's expectations, Jiang Yifei suddenly ran up to him and immediately hugged him, much to Zhou Yuan's surprise.

The hug did not last long as Yifei quickly regained his senses and hurriedly released himself away from the young man.

"Don't get me wrong, I just slipped and just happened to hold you! it's not like I'm worried about you, let alone thinking I miss you!" Jiang Yifei folded his arms around his chest and then threw away his face with an annoyed expression.

Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, obviously the girl had been hugging him on purpose but he did not talk about it any further.
