Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 176 — Finishing Point III
The army of the beast human race had now become doubtful, they had already seen Zhou Yuan's strength that could kill dozens of their people with a single strike of energy, they had already seen through, watching Zhou Yuan being able to split apart Xie Bui's heirloom made that fear grow even more in their hearts.
Although they were filled with doubt as well as fear in Zhou Yuan, the army of beastmen did not dare to refuse Xie Bui's orders. They immediately moved to invade Zhou Yuan again.
"You can really sacrifice your army..." Zhou Yuan shook his head.
Zhou Yuan could see that Xie Bui wanted to do something to his golden scepter that had now been split in two. The ape man will not attack for a while because his mainstay stick is broken.
Zhou Yuan's sword again fought with the army of the beast race's humans, every time he slashed then there were two to three beast men who would die in his hands.
Zhou Yuan's strength that had increased after using the totokan technique was no longer a match for the army of beastmen whose average strength was in the golden realm downwards.
Zhou Yuan's strength almost matched those in the light realm even though his abilities were still at the level of the crystal realm, plus the sword kusanagi in hand, Zhou Yuan's combat power increased by several folds.
In a matter of a few seconds Zhou Yuan had already killed dozens of them, this made the army of the human beast race who witnessed it so frightened.
"To what extent is this brat's strength really?!" Xie Bui clenched his teeth, he had not expected Zhou Yuan to be able to kill his race at such a shocking speed.
Xie Bui looked at Zhou Yuan's sword which was emitting a pitch-black light, the color of the sword becoming more apparent each time Zhou Yuan finished off his opponent.
Xie Bui had only first discovered such a sharp sword in the martial world, he could see how the sword of Kusanagi could easily cut through the heirlooms of his opponents.
"It will have no end..." Zhou Yuan's movements were further restricted from being mobbed from various directions, he then took a deep breath and then used the fire technique in his mouth. "Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
Zhou Yuan spat out a sea of fire in his mouth with an enormous amount. The fire spread so quickly and immediately burned dozens of human beast races that were within its attack range.
The army of the human beast race began to shout as their bodies started to burn with fire, they could just run and hope it could ease the pain but in reality, Zhou Yuan's burst of flames killed dozens of their people.
Zhou Yuan spent enough of all his profound energy to spew such a huge fire that his breath was hunted back.
"You think you can slaughter my people at will!"
The flash of fire suddenly appeared Xie Bui with his golden scepter, Xie Bui seemed unperturbed by the heat of the fire, instead he charged towards Zhou Yuan with a strong killing appetite.
Xie Bui swung his golden baton which was now reconnected thanks to his inner energy science.
"Damn!"
Zhou Yuan was too exhausted to dodge, plus Xie Bui's attack was so sudden that he did not have time to withstand the swinging attacks of the cane.
Xie Bui's golden scepter struck Zhou Yuan's stomach tightly, sending him bouncing dozens of meters away.
Zhou Yuan stuck the kusanagi sword into the ground to minimize its thrust. He managed to do that and stopped off right at the edge of the cliff.
Zhou Yuan was a little too late, maybe he would fall down the cliff. Zhou Yuan spewed fresh blood in his mouth, he could feel some of his ribs being broken as a result of Xie Bui's golden scepter attack.
"Brother Yuan?!"
Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou immediately approached Zhou Yuan after seeing his condition.
The three girls were actually not in top shape and almost all three of them had already reached their limits, Xiao Rou had even suffered quite severe deep injuries on her shoulder but she was more worried about Zhou Yuan's condition.
Zhou Yuan exerted a deep strength to ease the pain of his broken ribs, he looked at his three exhausted girls.
"You've done your best, now let me handle the rest..." Zhou Yuan tried to get up and take a few steps forward.
Zhou Yuan smiled, he felt touched by their efforts and intentions. "It's okay, I appreciate your hard work but it's my business, honestly I'm more apologetic for having to get you in the situation right now."
Zhou Yuan sighed. "If this is our last fight then I'll be happy to die with you." Zhou Yuan stroked the cheeks of Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou while smiling gently. "I feel grateful to meet you in this life, now that you rest, I will use my final style."
Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou grew increasingly worried but they ended up nodding according.
"I've never done this but I'm sure after everything, I'll pay for the pain..." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly. "No, that's even if I manage to live today..."
Zhou Yuan fouled his heart area back, he used the forbidden totokan technique a second time.
Zhou Yuan was sure that if he were still alive after this, his body would probably suffer heavy damage from using the forbidden move twice.
Soon Zhou Yuan's body was recharged, he looked at the army of the beast race before him where they were still eager to kill him especially Xie Bui, the ape man was so vengeful to him.
Of the five hundred troops that besieged Zhou Yuan, there were three hundred remaining.
"Because I am going to die, then you must also accompany me to the afterlife..." Zhou Yuan smiled widely and then poured a deep energy into his sword.
The inner power that flowed was quite large up to 90% of the amount of his inner power, this as Zhou Yuan's last attack on this battle.
"Element Sword Technique — Darkness World Destroyer!"
Zhou Yuan used his strongest technique twice but what distinguished the attack this time was huge and had a wider impact.
Zhou Yuan's sword re-released a pitch-black sword energy, the sword energy was so wide that it encompassed the entire army of the existing beast human race.
Xie Bui felt threatened, he immediately made a deep power shield that covered his entire body, the sword energy also simultaneously aimed at him.
Xie Bui might be able to survive with his inner power shield because he was at the level of the Light Realm, but similar events were not experienced by hundreds of his troops.
Zhou Yuan's sword energy that struck them immediately wiped out the entire army of the beast human race until there was not the slightest bit left.
Xie Bui's heart paused for a moment to see the hundreds of troops he was carrying had now disappeared like smoke, his body was trembling violently, he looked at Zhou Yuan with anger, hatred, and strong murderous lust.
"You'll regret it! You must die in my hands!"
Xie Bui stuck his wand into the ground, not long after a golden ball of light appeared at the end of his wand and grew larger with time.
On the other hand Zhou Yuan regurgitated blood after releasing such a huge sword energy, because of the tootokannya effect he could feel every cell in his body experiencing intense pain.
"You guys go, I'll hold him here myself..." Zhou Yuan said limply to his three girls. He could see Xie Bui continuously gathering energy at the end of his staff. Zhou Yuan guessed that ball of light was Xie Bui's strongest move.
Zhou Yuan wished Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou to leave immediately after the opportunity he made by killing an entire army of beastmen, he said, no one else would stop them while Xie Bui was only after him.
Beyond his expectations, Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou actually stood in front of him, the three of them were not afraid of the Xie Bui attack that would kill them.
"I told you I'm not leaving here even if it's death. I'm not leaving you." Yifei snorted softly, trying to strengthen his heart.
"Brother Yuan, I will not leave you alone, if you die then we will also die with you." Linxia smiled calmly.
"Teacher need not worry, this is my choice to stay by your side until the end. I don't let teachers face themselves." Xiao Rou smiled, the girl's determination was already unshakable.
