Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 213 — Skull Mountain III
The Sword Elder raised one of his eyebrows after hearing Zhou Yuan's remark, "Young man, aren't you too confident in your abilities, the Skull Mountain Organization isn't a playground for people your age."
"You can see later if I'm just confident or bullshit." Zhou Yuan drew his sword towards his opponent. "Surely your organization will disappear today."
The Sword Elder narrowed his eyes. "Who exactly are you, I've never seen someone so young have such high strength as you?"
"No need to try it, I know you're distracting me..." Zhou Yuan swung his sword towards his back, creating a wave of swords
Zhou Yuan struck empty air with that wave of sword but suddenly Zhou Yuan's sword wave was restrained by someone.
That person then appeared in void space, someone who was muscular and wore a large axe as his weapon.
When Zhou Yuan unleashed a wave of swords, the man carrying the axe inevitably had to show his form to withstand the attack.
"When did you realize it?" The man carrying the axe looked at Zhou Yuan coldly.
"From the beginning, did you think I couldn't see the illusion you were making? A cheap illusion like you won't be able to anchor my eyes."
The man carrying the Axe was another Elder from Skull Mountain, he used an illusionary technique so as to make himself appear to disappear but did not expect Zhou Yuan to be able to notice it.
The Measured Elder was offended by Zhou Yuan's words just now, he then jumped up and swung his big axe.
"For your small body, your talk is big enough!" The Axe Elder snorted in annoyance.
Zhou Yuan raised his sword to hold the swing of the axe, the two weapons clashed, causing air vibrations and shock waves to the surroundings.
The Impact Elder was surprised by the power Zhou Yuan released, he did not expect Zhou Yuan who had a slender body to be able to withstand his strength.
The Impact Elder again swung his axe this time stronger while Zhou Yuan followed.
The two weapons clashed again but in contrast to the previous circumstances, not only did the shockwave created but Zhou Yuan also managed to make the Impacts Elder take a few steps back and lose balance.
The Arrow Elders, Sword Elders, as well as the other Skull Mountain Members were stunned to see the incident.
Almost everyone in the Skull Mountain Organization had known about the extraordinary physique of the Axe Elders, he was arguably the number one swordsman in his organization in terms of physical strength.
No one had ever thought the Axe Elder would be defeated by a person who had a slender body as well as was very young.
Zhou Yuan was intending to give a follow-up attack upon seeing the Measles Elder lose his balance, but the right hand holding the kusanagi sword suddenly could not be moved by itself.
Zhou Yuan frowned then turned his head towards his right hand, it took him a while to realize his hand had now been wrapped around by a thread.
Due to the thread Zhou Yuan failed to attack the Axe Elder, the muscular man managed to regain his balance and took some distance from Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the source of the thread and then saw that someone was using it, that person was the woman who used the Yarn Technique as her fighting tool.
"Two Spiders, thank you for helping the Axis Elder..." The sword elder bowed respectfully to the woman who had tied Zhou Yuan's right hand.
The Axe Elder finally landed beside the Spider Elder, "Thank you, I'm almost hurt if you don't help me."
The Spider Elder nodded slowly, Although she looks like a weak girl but the Spider Elder is the strongest Elder among the other three Elders so she is more respected even by the elders though.
"Ah, it looks like you guys are the four Elders of Skull Mountain in question right?" Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. "Good, I thought I'd have to wait a long time for you to gather..."
"I'm sure your age isn't as young as it seems, you must be an old swordsman who maintains his youth?" The Spider Elder stared coldly at Zhou Yuan.
"Why do you keep asking about a person's age, does it matter in a fight?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows. "Do I also have to ask you about your real age older than your grandmother's?"
"You!" The Spider Elder glared furiously.
The other three Elders and the members of Skull Mountain were to the point of being surprised by Zhou Yuan's words, even if they did not dare to say so knowing the Spider Elder would be extremely wrathful when it came to age.
Indeed, like most female warriors in general, when a woman has reached high strength as a swordsman, she said, they can use their inner strength to maintain their youth even in some cases women can use techniques that make their faces look beautiful and young.
The Spider Elder moved his finger, trying to make the thread that was still tying Zhou Yuan's right hand grip him firmly.
Zhou Yuan saw that the thread the Spider Elder used was not an ordinary thread, the thread was made of pliable iron that had high sharpness.
If a person is firmly gripped by the iron thread, he can turn into a piece of meat.
After a while the Spider Elder frowned seeing that the stranglehold of his thread had not managed to pierce through Zhou Yuan's skin.
"With a thread like this wanting to hurt me, you better not hope." Zhou Yuan moved his hand, the threads wrapped around him slowly began to break off one by one.
The Spider Elder held his breath, he was now no longer hunted by emotions due to age issues. Seeing Zhou Yuan being able to break his iron thread easily showed the young man a warrior beyond his reach.
"We have to use the strategy we trained to kill him, he's too strong." The Spider Elder reminded.
"I know, his physical strength is so great and his movement is so fast, I'm sure he's a Light Realm swordsman with 5 open meridians." The Axe Elder commented after sensing Zhou Yuan's strength instantly.
Zhou Yuan could see the four Elders discussing but he did not try to prevent it.
"If you want to have a longer discussion... I don't have a problem. I'll wait for you guys to finish."
In the multiple exchanges of skill, Zhou Yuan could see that the four Elders of the Skull Mountain possessed strength equivalent to the swordsman of the Light Realm with one gate open.
Only the Spider Elder who was slightly stronger among the others, had the level of the Light Realm with 2 open meridians.
The other Skull Mountain Members watched the battle from afar, seeing Zhou Yuan being able to keep up with their Elders made the Skull Mountain Members realize that they were not Zhou Yuan's opponent.
"It's over?" Zhou Yuan saw that the four Elders had finished discussing. "So who goes first, one-on-one or all four of you at once."
Zhou Yuan's words successfully ignited his fourth emotion. They immediately prepared to attack the young man with all their strength and ability.
