Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 172 — Enemy Siege
Zhou Yuan's murderous aura was already dark enough moreover he had killed many times in the previous imperial palace raid, Zhou Yuan's murderous aura could be exploited, the murderous aura of Zhou Yuan could be exploited, instantly made the Sun Empire's army have difficulty breathing and their knees suddenly felt so limp.
Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to swing the sword towards them, a sword that was so sharp that it could quickly finish off four of its opponents in just a few slashes.
"How could he have such a murderous aura at his age?"
"No way, he's definitely not human, he's a demon?!"
The Sun Empire soldiers became frightened, now they saw Zhou Yuan like a human-skinned monster.
Zhou Yuan seemed unconcerned by their reaction, exerting a deep force on his sword he then used his sword technique.
"Element Sword Technique — Flashes of Light."
Zhou Yuan moved very quickly while slashing his opponents, in a short time, there were already seven enemy troops who had lost their lives again.
Zhou Yuan seemed to rush to use his sword technique which drained a lot of energy, this he did because there were many academy students or tournament participants who were in need of help.
He did not have time to exchange attacks with his opponents, after Zhou Yuan finished off the dozens of soldiers he immediately ran to another place.
"He is the owner of Yin's body, immediately call the others, don't let him escape this attack!"
The eagle-man who was above the sky was shocked at Zhou Yuan's speed when he finished off his comrades. The moment the eagle-man realized the person doing it was the figure they were looking for, he immediately signaled the other by ringing a special whistle.
Zhou Yuan frowned at the whistle that sounded strange in his opinion, he did not know the meaning of the whistle but not long after he got the answer.
"You must be kidding me?!"
As Zhou Yuan looked back, he was surprised and found the army of the beast race humans had already gathered and chased after him a lot.
Their numbers were over a hundred people and kept growing over time, Zhou Yuan was surprised to not expect that he would be targeted like this.
"Is my body that valuable to them?!" Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance.
Not only from the land route, the army of the beast race was also chasing him from the sky especially the eagle man.
The eagle man flying in the air started attacking him from a distance by releasing dozens of arrows, Zhou Yuan swore before turning around and dodging all of the arrows.
Seeing that their attacks could be completely avoided by his opponent did not make the eagle man stop archery, instead they were increasingly attacking Zhou Yuan.
On the other hand, the army of the beast race humans on the ground were already a few steps away, when it was within their attack range, the beast race humans on the ground began to attack.
Zhou Yuan immediately greeted their attacks with his sword, his nimble movements capable of offsetting all the incoming attacks while providing a deadly counterattack.
One by one Zhou Yuan wiped out the army of the beast race, no one had managed to survive the sharpness of his sword, every time the sword kusanagi swung there would be one life lost.
The heirlooms they wore seemed insignificant in the face of the sword Kusanagi which had a higher quality than the cloud-class heirlooms.
The protective clothes they wore could not protect from Zhou Yuan's sword sharpness. In a short time there were already dozens of human animals killed in his hands.
"How could that young man have this much power?"
Zhou Yuan seemed to be able to read all the attacks that led to him, not only was he also able to dodge them with the minimum possible movement.
"Until when do they gang up and surround me like this..." Zhou Yuan cursed inwardly.
The power within Zhou Yuan had already pretty much been drained after using swordsmanship and wielding the sword kusanagi for quite a while. He could not maintain his position like this continuously.
Killing dozens of his opponents did not scare the beast human race or at least stop it from killing him.
Their numbers grew even faster than he killed their troops, perhaps even two hundred more were now besieging Zhou Yuan.
On the other hand, the gathering of the human beast race who wanted to kill him made the academy disciples or tournament participants able to successfully escape their targets.
The beast man suddenly left the disciples and ran to where Zhou Yuan was.
Zhou Yuan did not understand, why in a battle situation like this the human beast race was more interested in him than continuing the attack.
As Zhou Yuan was still thinking, a sharp sword appeared in void space and unsheathed towards his heart.
Zhou Yuan caught the tip of the sword before it hit his body, before long a cat-man holding the sword appeared.
The cat's human eyes widened, he was already using an illusionary stance that made him invisible but did not expect that in a situation already within his grasp Zhou Yuan could thwart his attacks so easily.
Zhou Yuan released the sword, immediately the cat man took some distance from him. Zhou Yuan could see the cat man was at the level of the crystal realm.
"Good, Elder Feng has already come. We'll soon catch that Yin body!" The animal man.
Zhou Yuan guessed the cat human in front of him was the Elder Feng in question, he seemed to have a high status in the beast human race as it seemed to be respected by the others.
Before Zhou Yuan judged the cat man any further, suddenly his opponent had already moved quickly and appeared before him.
Zhou Yuan was surprised by the speed the cat man showed yet he was still able to react quickly.
Zhou Yuan held back the cat-man sword with the kusanagi sword, the two exchanged several strikes showing their sword abilities in balance.
Zhou Yuan was deliberately in a defensive position because the human cat attack made the human race animals around him stop to attack him.
Being surrounded and attacked on multiple sides left him with no time to think, he took advantage of this one-on-one battle to make plans in the face of his hundreds of opponents.
"Only with this ability do you slaughter our race, you are truly arrogant!" The cat man snorted furiously and swung his sword even faster.
The cat-man attack that was increasingly difficult to avoid finally forced Zhou Yuan to choose to strike back.
The thinking cat-man who had cornered Zhou Yuan was surprised to see the sword ability of the young man was able to slow down his attacks.
The two exchanged attacks again, the heirloom held by a cat man was a top-class heirloom, when faced with Zhou Yuan's sword, in a few collisions his sword had suffered heavy damage.
The cat man was startled then tried to break away from Zhou Yuan but the young man did not let that happen. Zhou Yuan continued to cling and unleashed the next heavy attacks.
In dozens of later attacks, the cat man's heirloom could no longer withstand the weight of a kusanagi sword's slash, Zhou Yuan's sword cut the heirloom so that in the next swing, it could not bear any more, the cat man could not resist Zhou Yuan's sword attack aimed at his neck.
