Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 170 — A Traitor
Guan Ning had a higher strength than Lizi Ao or Shang Hai, he could have outperformed with his ability and strength but if fighting them together like this then the case would be much different.
In a short period of time, Guan Ning had to welcome an attack from six sides, the cooperation between Lizi Ao, Shang Hai, and the four crystal realms was able to make him in a defensive position.
"Aren't your actions too cowardly to have to gang me up like this?" Guan Ning smiled faintly.
"I don't think so, in a life-and-death fight someone will do various ways to live even though they have to use sneaky ways." Lizi Ao replied without showing any expression.
"Hmph! I thought the beast men were a respectable race, it turns out that you guys are far from what I thought."
"There are no rules that require one to be fair, there is no pure justice in this world." Shang Hai swung his axe even faster.
As time went by several attacks finally managed to hit Guan Ning's body. However, the Earth Emperor did not appear to be injured, focusing on avoiding or fending off.
"You seem to have a strong skin defense?" Lizi Ao narrowed his eyes, the knife he threw had already hit Guan Ning's body but no scratches or the like on his opponent's body.
Guan Ning did not reply, as the battle used empty-handed science he had to equip his body with a passive defense, similar to Zhou Yuan, he was able to harden his skin by using a deep-power shield.
When Guan Ning fought with several of his opponents, in different places a no less fierce fight was also going on.
Qiusui Bao with the ability of his two swords had to deal with the fox human figure who was in the light realm.
The fox man had the same sword ability as him, the power of Qiusui Bao was superior to him but not in heirloom quality.
Qiusui Bao had only seen for the first time that there was a cloud-class heirloom that was as sharp as the fox-human sword, despite his sword ability above his opponent's, the navel has experienced a fine crack due to frequent collisions with the fox man's sword.
"It seems like the rumors circulating are true, your two-sword abilities are really more deadly than I heard..." The fox-man smiled faintly, his body already covered in small cuts while he could not injure Quiusui in the slightest.
"Should I be flattered?" Quiusui Bao raised his eyebrows. "Rather than thinking about my sword skills, you better think about whether you'll survive today or not?"
"You don't know anything yet, you don't know how far the forces of our race are attacking."
"Then show me, I'll tell you that the Four Empires' academy is not just any academy, they have great combat power that is not much different from the imperial government. Just having an army of your race is not enough to conquer the academy."
The fox man laughed, "My name is Hua Sha, the leader of the Beta squad, I am not saying that this attack is only my race troops, we also have allies!"
The look on Qiusui Bao's face changed, yet he had time to reply, suddenly a fire sword energy shot rapidly towards him.
The fire sword energy was so powerful, Qiusui Bao immediately poured a deep power into his two swords and resisted the attack. His body was pushed down by several meters, Qiusui Bao managed to hold back that sword energy as well as maintain his balance.
"As I expected from Mr. Qiusui, you have a high dexterity."
The one who released fire sword energy finally appeared, someone quite famous and eminent in the martial world, he was the Sun Emperor, Liu Zhangyang.
Qiusui Bao's eyes widened as well as surprised to see him, "You! How's..."
Hua Sha immediately laughed at Qiusui's shock, he then glanced at Liu Zhangyang. "You've been a long time, I thought you'd cancel our partnership."
"Traitor?! Zhangwhat is the meaning of this action of yours?" Quiusui Bao clenched his teeth, clearly not expecting the situation to be like this.
"As you can see, Mr. Qiusui, I'm working with the Beast Man Race." Liu Zhangyang smiled faintly. "It has been a long time for this peace to take place, now, the Sun Empire will rule over the entire northern mainland continent."
"Is that why you're doing something like this?"
"For you may be 'only' but for me, the glory of the Sun Empire is indispensable."
Qiusui clasped his two swords tightly, he would have difficulty fighting Liu Zhangyang with the other light realm swordsmen.
Not waiting any longer, Liu Zhangyang and Hua Sha cooperated in attacking Qiusui in succession.
Liu Zhangyang used a fire sword technique that made his sword enveloped by the burning flames, his sword movements so fast and hard to avoid made it difficult for Qiusui to read his swordplay so he had to be put in a defensive position.
Within dozens of moves, Qiusui was pushed by both of them. If not for his experience and high fighting style he might have been seriously injured by now.
"I can't believe you'd be determined like this just because of a power... " When the two fought, Qiusui gave a statement.
"Power is the most desirable thing in this world besides property, there is no one who is not tempted if they are given power."
Qiusui snorted as he continued to hold on his position increasingly unfavorable as his body started to get injured.
Even if it is only a small scratch but the wound will affect the match.
Qiusui twisted his brain to give a counterattack but he realized it would not be easy let alone Liu Zhangyang and Hua Sha not giving a pause in each of his attacks.

On the other hand, Jiang Long was fighting against four crystal realm pinnacle warriors. When he saw Zhou Yuan leave the tournament area with Yifei and others he could breathe a sigh of relief at once and focus more on attacking the opponents.
With his strength as well as his blue fire technique, Jiang Long could surpass his opponents. The difference was clearly visible because Jiang Long dominated the fight.
Jiang Long thought everything would be finished but from the top, suddenly someone descended and landed between them fighting.
Jiang Long put on a serious expression and increased his vigilance to the highest peak because the person who landed was an eagle man who had the same level as him.
The eagle man was in the realm of light, he used an heirloom spear as his weapon.
"It's a pity that the current Moon Emperor didn't come, even if it wasn't the Emperor you have quite a strong power, I'm sure you have a high position there?" The eagle man smiled widely, he was named Fu Zha, the leader of the Epsilon squad.
Jiang Long did not reply, he released a fire that was bigger than before and enveloped his body.
Jiang Long was not as strong as the other three emperors even though he was equally at the light realm level so fighting one beast man squad leader was a troublesome opponent for him.
