Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 169 — Leadership Thrones
"You have a high enough strength, you must have a high status in your race?" After exchanging attacks with his opponent, Xiong Bian realized the power of the ape man.
"My name is Xie Bui, I am the leader of the delta squad of the Beast Man Organization. It's an honor to die in my hands." The ape man introduced his name.
Xiong Bian smiled faintly, "Aren't you concluding things too quickly?"
"We'll see if I just conclude or not?"
Xiong Bian again attacked Xie Bui with his agile swordplay, the two exchanged attacks but none of the two outperformed each other.
"Your sword is a cloud-class heirloom but not as sharp as the boy's sword." Xie Bui smiled mockingly.
"Right, I want to see if you'll say that after I do this!"
Xiong Bian exerted a deep force on his weapon before using his deadly sword technique, his sword movements became more agile and each swing unleashed a mighty force.
Xie Bui's golden heirloom was scratched back by the successive slashes although not as deep as Zhou Yuan's sword strokes.
"You!"
"It's not over yet, I still have other techniques to defeat you..."
"You think I'll lose to you?!"
Xie Bui this time used his staff moves that made him famous in the martial world, at the same time Xiong Bian also attacked him with his sword skills.
The two exchanged moves again, Xie Bui clenched his teeth as each time the two weapons clashed. Scratches on his stick more and more were created.
Xie Bui had been wearing his golden scepter for over a hundred years, never having suffered any damage to his remains until this much. It made him a little frustrated and upset.
Xie Bui's regret did not last long, his gaze then fixed on one direction, the look on his face instantly changed.
Xiong Bian noticed the change in the ape man's expression, he took some distance before finally turning his head in the same direction.
Xiong Bian's eyes widened, he found that apart from among the human race the increasing beast race was among those who reached the Light Realm. His strength was not much different from the ape man he was fighting.
There were about four high-level light realm warriors who were on the side of the beast human race.
Xiong Bian knew that the human beast race had five squads in their leadership. These five squads were led by powerful beast men, Xie Bui was one of them.
"Hows it? Like you said, it's still the beginning of the fight." Xie Bui smiled widely.
Xiong Bian clenched his hands hard, he saw the possibility of this battle situation in his mind, If his conjecture is not wrong, the possibility of this attack will not be beneficial to his side.
The four Light Realm warriors on the side of the beast human race began to intervene in the battle, they headed towards the emperors who were now fighting.

Guan Ning was able to easily not only severely injure his opponent, he had also managed to kill two crystal realms of the six beastmen that surrounded him.
Guan Ning wanted to unleash his iron punch back and end the beast man before him but as he wanted to do so, a blade shot towards him.
The blade was coated in a huge inner force, when Guan Ning held it down with his iron hand, he was pushed one step. The blade was not just one but a dozen, Guan Ning clucked in annoyance before taking some distance with the opponent he wanted to finish off.
Guan Ning then turned to look at the figure of the knife thrower, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the half lion and half wolf man were looking at him coldly.
The one who threw the knife was a lion man named Lizi Ao, while the nearby werewolf had the name Shang Hai.
Shang Hai had a muscular body with a large axe in his hand. Guan Ning smiled faintly when he saw that his opponent had a strength that did not differ much from him.
"I heard that the human beast race has five leaders, it seems like the two of you are one of them?"
Guan Ning had heard of information about the Human Beast Race, it was said they were divided into five squads depending on their type and abilities.
The squads in question such as the Alfa squad, they are half-lion humans and are the strongest squad compared to other squads.
The second squad is called the Beta squad filled by fox humans, the Beta Squad is one of the squads who are experts in making heirloom weapons.
In the third position there are Gamma squads, they are a group of werewolves, this squad has a unique characteristic that has a strong physical strength and a muscular body.
The fourth team is the Delta team, a group of ape humans who have expertise in collecting information, tracking, and infiltrating.
Then the last squad of the animal race, the Epsilon team, is a mixed squad of various species. The Epsilon team has the most number of members than the others.
The Lizi Ao that Guan Ning was facing right now was the leader of the Alfa squad while Shang Hai was the head of the Gamma squad.
Lizi Ao looked at Guan Ning with murderous lust, "Your strength is quite high, using a diamond hand surely you are Guan Ning, the Emperor who leads the south of the Northern Mainland Continent right?"
"There's no need to question my identity if you find out." Guan Ning exerted a deep energy in both hands, making his diamond arms glow. "Before we fight, there's one thing I want to ask you. What's the reason you attacked this tournament?"
"Isn't it clear, to kill you and take control of the northern mainland again." Lizi Ao unsheathed his knife. "Your nation has sinned too much to trample upon our race and make it into slaves. I will not be able to forgive the cruelty of your nation, I will make a great revolution and the situation is turned upside down!"
Guan Ning sighed, he realized that Lizi Ao's words did have a point, the human beast race had always been considered inferior by the human race, not only kidnapping and killing, but also killing, they were also often sold and made into slaves.
Although racism and slavery have been outlawed by self-government, many still operate behind the shadows.
"There's no need to talk to him anymore, we're gonna finish this the old way..." Shang Hai had already wanted to attack Guan Ning so he jumped straight at him.
Guan Ning did not dodge but rather unleashed his iron punch onto the swinging axe, the two weapons clashed and made a loud noise.
Guan Ning still remained in place while Shang Hai retreated two steps due to the impact of the attack.
Shang Hai clenched his teeth and turned to Lizi Ao. "Lizi, wait a minute, we're taking down the leader of this human race?!"
Without even being ordered, Lizi Ao immediately intervened, he and Shang Hai then cooperated in attacking Guan Ning from both sides. The remaining four crystal realms also competed shortly after.
