Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 218 — Skull Mountain VIII
Zhou Yuan unleashed a pitch-black sword energy, that energy darting rapidly towards his target.
Lin Ran who realized Zhou Yuan's attack immediately avoided him, the distance between himself and Zhou Yuan which was quite far made him have time to dodge.
Lin Ran held his breath, he could feel that the energy attack had a terrifying crushing power. Lin Ran had just breathed a sigh of relief from being able to dodge the attack but at the same time Zhou Yuan was already a few steps away.
Zhou Yuan immediately grabbed the girl by the neck before lifting her up, Lin Ran thrashed hard and tried to escape but Zhou Yuan's power was greater than he expected.
"I've always wanted to do this to you..." Zhou Yuan smiled coldly. "The organization you've created has been killing people a lot, if I let you go I'm not letting a lot of killing happen."
Zhou Yuan still remembered about the assault of the Eternal Snow organization in Hana city that attacked the mayor's residence. If only at that time there was no Jiang Qisha helping there would probably be many casualties at the location.
Lin Ran wanted to say something but could not, let alone to speak, even breathing he began to have difficulty.
Lin Ran tried to release his needle into Zhou Yuan's body with all his might but the needle bounced when it hit his body. Zhou Yuan hardened his skin with dragon scales.
Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly, he raised his sword then thrust his sword towards the heart of the girl. Instantly Lin Ran's body stopped rebelling and fell to the ground as Zhou Yuan let go of his neck chuckle.
"The Eternal Snow Organization will not live again after losing their leader..." Zhou Yuan sighed as he looked at Lin Ran who was now lifeless.
Seeing that two high-ranking warriors had been killed in Zhou Yuan's hands, the remaining members of Skull Mountain immediately fled from the headquarters. All they thought about right now was to quickly save lives.
Zhou Yuan who realized this snorted softly. "You think I'm gonna let you guys live, don't dream!"
Zhou Yuan immediately moved quickly after the members of Skull Mountain, Kusanagi's sword swung back, taking the lives of the other members of the organization.
Zhou Yuan could not let them live or there would be many murders going on in the future, he finished them off quickly, from every second then there was one person killed in his hands.
Even though Zhou Yuan intended to finish off all the members of Skull Mountain but in reality he was difficult to do so. Their sheer number made Zhou Yuan only able to finish off half of it.
Zhou Yuan sighed looking at the assassins leaving the headquarters, Zhou Yuan did not chase after him but turned around and traced their headquarters first.
The headquarters of the Skull Mountain Organization was quite spacious as they housed eight hundred people, there were also several buildings as well as hidden basements.
Zhou Yuan traced the buildings one by one, built the largest one he then found the armory of the Skull Mountain Organization.
"They have weapons like this? I didn't expect it..."
Zhou Yuan found a unique weapon in the arsenal that had the shape of a flower petal, to Zhou Yuan's knowledge the weapon was called a suriken, a deadly long-range weapon.
In addition to suriken there are many other weapons such as swords, arrows, spears, or the like. Zhou Yuan immediately stored all those weapons into his space ring and intended to give them to the Night Shadow Organization.
In addition to an arsenal of weaponry, Zhou Yuan also found a treasure warehouse that was more hidden, the warehouse contained tens of thousands of gold coins, jewelry, or precious stones.
"How long have they been collecting this much treasure?" Zhou Yuan was stunned, although not as much as Feiyu's warehouse but still the pile of gold coins in front of him was quite large.
Zhou Yuan finally arrived to inspect the basement around the headquarters, when he had just stepped inside, Zhou Yuan felt that there was a breath of life inside.
When Zhou Yuan reached the bottom of the basement, he found many prison cells there as well as the prisoners behind them.
They looked at Zhou Yuan but only at a glance, the prisoners did not try to ask for help as they thought Zhou Yuan was part of the Skull Mountain Organization.
'They have also kidnapped many people, it turns out that my decision to destroy them was indeed the right choice...'
Zhou Yuan then swung his finger to cut off the bars that were holding those prisoners.
"Today you are free, get out of this base and search each of your lives." Zhou Yuan took out thousands of gold coins. "Take what you need as compensation."
The prisoners were shocked, they finally realized Zhou Yuan was someone who wanted to free them.
"Thank you swordsman!" The prisoners said in unison.
The prisoners then began to take the gold coins, some of them taking in moderation while others took in large quantities.
Zhou Yuan shook his head, he did not blame those who took a lot of gold coins, Zhou Yuan only said that they were careful.
After releasing the prisoners Zhou Yuan then left the base with the other prisoners as they followed him.
At the prisoner was worried that there were members of the organization still left so that it approached Zhou Yuan because it was felt that the young man could protect them.
When Zhou Yuan left the headquarters, he found Xu Miao, Huang Li, Qiyao, along with the 6 Elders of the Night Shadow Organization were already waiting for him outside.
Not only were the 9 Elders present, the entire Night Shadow Organization army was also standing behind him, complete with their black uniforms wearing hoods and wearing masks.
"Has Miss Miao managed to deal with the members of the fleeing Skull Mountain?"
Previously Zhou Yuan had already given instructions to the Night Shadow Organization to surround the Skull Mountain headquarters so that no one would escape from them.
Xu Miao smiled awkwardly before nodding. "None of them were in the light realm so we could finish them off easily."
Xu Miao glanced at the prisoners behind Zhou Yuan, they looked terrified as if they had seen something terrible.
"Brother Yuan, it looks like you've cleared everything up?" Xu Miao asked.
"I've finished off the leader of the Skull Mountain and the leader of the Eternal Snow inside, you better not enter the base because I'm sure you won't want it."
Xu Miao looked clueless to Zhou Yuan's words but he would obey his orders. Actually Xu Miao was more surprised because Zhou Yuan had managed to finish off the leader of their organization.
'He could finish off the leader of Skull Mountain in no time, actually who this Yuan Brother was.' Inner Xu Miao was growing curious about Zhou Yuan.
Xu Miao could only be grateful that Zhou Yuan had now joined his organization. He had regretted that he had once intended to finish off the young man.
"Miss Miao, did you hear my explanation?" Zhou Yuan frowned seeing Xu Miao staring at his face without blinking.
Xu Miao became misbehaved, she coughed softly. "I'm sorry, I was thinking something."
Zhou Yuan then explained that the people behind him were the prisoners of Skull Mountain that he had freed earlier. He wanted Xu Miao to drive them back to the city.
"It doesn't matter Brother Yuan, let me and the others do it." Xu Miao nodded slowly.
