Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 21 — Arrow Attack
On the different side, after leaving Zhou Yuan, Xiao Rou headed towards the residence Lin Ruyue was in.
Xiao Rou was surprised when on his way he heard a loud cry for help, Xiao Rou knew the voice was coming from Zhou Yuan.
"Teacher, why did you do that?"
Xiao Rou suddenly felt anxious with Zhou Yuan's cry but he did not stop to run. If Zhou Yuan shouted then there was a possibility that he would be the center of attention of his enemies.
This made Xiao Rou worry that Zhou Yuan was okay but even if he turned around he could not help her, Xiao Rou could only hasten his steps towards Zhou Yuan's old man's house to ask them for help.
The moment Xiao Rou arrived, he saw that Lin Ruyue and Zhou Yao had already exited his house, Zhou Yuan's shout must have made them wake up.
"Rou'er, where's Yuan'er?!" Lin Ruyue who first asked Xiao Rou when the girl was seen, she asked worriedly.
"Auntie, Brother Yuan is in my house... Ah no, I mean there's an intruder in this residence..."
Lin Ruyue was immediately startled as well as Zhou Yao, they realized there was no reason Xiao Rou was lying to the two. Xiao Rou also explained that what shouted for help earlier was Zhou Yuan's voice.
"My husband..." Lin Ruyue looked at Zhao Yao with a pale look.
"Yue'er, you stay inside the house and take care of Miss Xiao, let me find Yuan'er!" Zhou Yao was also actually anxious as he tried to possibly remain calm in front of his wife.
"My husband, hurry please Yuan'er..."
Zhou Yao nodded, without staying any longer he ran to the residence Xiao Rou was in, not forgetting that on the way Zhou Yao hid the makeshift bells to wake the guards.
A few steps later Zhou Yao saw the masked swordsman infiltrating silently, the numbers growing more and more and dispersing throughout the Zhou residence.
Zhou Yao wished to run faster to help his son when there were five Silver Realm assassins blocking him. Zhou Yao clenched his teeth, he pulled the heirloom on his waist to face them.
"Be careful, he is the young master of the Zhou family, his abilities are extremely powerful!"
"I can feel it, no need to worry, we attack him together."
The five Silver Realm assassins immediately attacked Zhou Yao and surrounded him with killing intent.
Zhao Yao certainly did not stay silent, he as the Golden Realm swordsman moved against them. Zhou Yao used the best of his abilities but still fighting against five assassins at once took time.
On the far side, on the roof of one of the buildings, there were two people facing each other. The two people were the leaders of two parties, one was the leader of the Zhou Family side and the other was on the Night Bat Group side.
"I didn't expect at our old meeting you'd be present this way?" Zhou Bing smiled faintly looking around his chaotic residence.
"It's a surprise, Bing, I hope you like it..." Ling Yun chuckled. "Tonight, I'll make sure your family dies."
"Hmph! What makes you think you're gonna win, once I kill you, your group will disappear."
Ling Yun smiled sinisterly. "You're right, then let's end this fight here!"
Zhou Bing and Ling Yun drew their respective weapons and began exchanging attacks, seeming the strength of the two equally balanced with Zhou Bing being in the Crystal Realm as well.
After observing the point of each enemy's location as well as their number of hundreds of people, Zhou Yuan began to run from the first building to another.
Amongst that group of assassins most of them were warriors of the Bronze Realm, dozens of Silver Realm as well as three Golden Realms.
Zhou Yuan went to the attendant tower in the corner of the Zhou residence's border, he saw a bow and arrows on the guard tower and it was also the weapon he wanted to find.
Zhou Yuan seemed calm in this situation because thanks to his experience in the past life, it was precisely because of this calmness that he could think of dealing with the assault problem.
Although Zhou Yuan could use his sword ability to fight against those assassins, he was actually quite troubled by his still-child body.
With the bow Zhou Yuan could help his family from a distance. Zhou Yuan then brought a bow with his arrows and immediately went to look for the highest location.
Zhou Yuan jumped onto the roof of the main hall building of the Zhou Family which happened to be the tallest building of the other building.
The Zhou Family Hall had five floors, while Zhou Yuan was upstairs, he could see more clearly all the battles that were going on in his residence.
Zhou Yuan began to pull the bowstring and aim his arrows, he then released the arrows towards one of the masked assassins who was fighting with the Zhou Family officers.
The arrow he released pointed at the vital part, the arrow instantly stuck and pierced through the masked killer's neck instantly.
Not finished there, Zhou Yuan then released more arrows, each arrow he released was able to take the lives of one of the killers.
Within a few minutes alone were nearly dozens of assassins who had fallen at Zhou Yuan's hands.
The Night Bats group belatedly realized its members had diminished in significant ways when their comrades fell to the ground without cause.
When they saw the death of his companion, they saw an arrow stuck.
The killers then looked up before finding a child standing on the tile, surprising them that the child was the perpetrator of the murder of his colleagues.
The Night Bat killers were immediately carried away with emotion and felt that they did not accept being killed by a boy.
They looked at Zhou Yuan hatefully and wanted to tear the child apart instantly. Some of them could not even contain his anger and headed straight for Zhou Yuan.
"You want to go after my life, it won't be that easy." Zhou Yuan gave a cold snort before directing his bow at the assassin who was after him.
This time Zhou Yuan poured his inner power on his arrows, making the shot that was released move rapidly several times over.
One of the masked assassins was ready to catch the arrow but his eyes could not keep up with the current speed of Zhou Yuan's arrow, as a result, the arrow pierced through his mask and stuck in the forehead which made him stop breathing.
Before the other masked assassins reacted Zhou Yuan had already released his arrows even more, making the assassins who approached him fall to the ground.
Seeing more of their comrades being killed by Zhou Yuan again, the other masked assassins grew even more enraged and ambitious about wanting to kill him.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly as there were many Bronze Realm assassins eyeing him. They are too carried away by emotions to not realize the limits of their abilities.
