Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 22 — Fire Sword Technique
"I actually have no business with you but the arrival of you who want to attack my family is enough to make me act like this..."Zhou Yuan snorted while releasing many arrows from his bow, those arrows always stuck right in his opponent's body without anyone missing.
Zhou Yuan would not allow anyone to harm his family in this second life, he would protect as hard as he could even if life was at stake.
As long as the masked assassins who were after him were either Bronze Realm or Silver Realm level warriors, Zhou did not mind fighting them with his arrow skills.
This made the Night Bats assassins even more eager to kill Zhou Yuan especially when their friends began to fall in the hands of the boy.
The problem in this attack was that Zhou Yuan was not the only enemy for them, the Zhou Family officers whom Zhou Yuan had helped earlier now started trying to help by blocking the path of those who were approaching Zhou Yuan.
The officers of the Zhou Family were actually shocked by Zhou Yuan's actions of killing his enemies in a single strike.
They as officers even had trouble facing one masked assassin but Zhou Yuan was able to do so easily.
The officers of the Zhou Family were actually very amazed let alone looking at Zhou Yuan's clear eyes despite killing many people but on different sides this was not the time for them to react like that.
"Everything protect the young master!" Called one of the officers.
The longer the assault lasted the more the number of Zhou Family officers gathered around Zhou Yuan. They try to block the masked killer who is eyeing his young master from all directions
Zhou Yuan continued to shoot masked assassins around his residence making many bodies lying everywhere.
It ended the Night Bat Group in a disadvantageous position.
Zhou Yuan wanted to take the next arrow but his hand momentarily grasped the empty air, Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance as he realized the arrow he was carrying had been exhausted.
The moment Zhou Yuan stopped shooting, a Golden Realm assassin suddenly appeared under the tile he was treading with a sword unsheathed towards him.
Zhou Yuan was startled and almost too late to react, fortunately he was able to dodge the attack despite having a scratch on his cheek.
'Damn, this brat is great as well...' The Gold Realm assassin clucked in annoyance as he failed to kill Zhou Yuan.
The assassin who attacked Zhou Yuan was previously an Elder of the Night Bats, watching their many members being killed by the little boy made him decide to kill Zhou Yuan first before committing to his plan.
Zhou Yuan rubbed the blood on his cheek, his gaze becoming wary seeing the attacking assassin was an assassin at the level of the Golden Realm.
"A little bit too late to avoid, my life might be floating away..." Zhou Yuan's murmured calmed his breath.
The Zhou Family officers who were around Zhou Yuan did not expect that there would be an attack from the bottom, they wanted to help their master but suddenly Zhou Yuan jumped very high leaving all the officers surrounding him.
The Gold Realm assassin glared and was shocked by Zhou Yuan's action, Zhou Yuan's leap was high enough to leave a distance of dozens of meters from the Golden Realm's assassin, not to mention after landing, Zhou Yuan's leap was quite high, Zhou Yuan immediately ran over.
Without further ado the Elder immediately chased after Zhou Yuan regardless of the other Zhou Family officers, they ran over the roofs of the houses.
The Zhou Family Officers could not catch up to Zhou Yuan, other than the distance they had left, the officers were again preoccupied with the other masked assassin members.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuan continued to be chased by the Night Bats Elder.
"This boy... How could he run this fast..." The Night Bats elder tightened his teeth looking at Zhou Yuan's running speed.
Zhou Yuan's speed in jumping over the roofs of buildings was quite skillful, the Elder could see how Zhou Yuan balanced his body when running from one roof to another.
Zhou Yuan continued to run south until he arrived at the edge of his residence, where there were no battles or officers, besides Zhou Yuan's road was blocked by the border wall making him unable to continue his run.
"Well, you finally can't run anymore..." The elder who was chasing him laughed satisfiedly seeing Zhou Yuan was at a dead end.
Zhou Yuan adjusted his breathing for a moment, he looked at his opponent who was now engulfed in murderous lust at him. 'It seems like there's no other way, I have to do this...'
Zhou Yuan then pulled the sword at his waist, his gaze instantly becoming solemn. "I didn't want to use this technique at first, but you forced me to do it..."
When the Elder felt the upper hand, Zhou Yuan jumped straight at him and played his sword.
That Golden Realm assassin who was originally laughing instantly bent his face realizing Zhou Yuan's swordplay was extremely expert.
Zhou Yuan might not be able to corner the Elder with his sword techniques but Zhou Yuan's swordplay was enough to keep his opponent busy and did not have time to strike back.
"This boy is not messing around in his ability, I did not expect at his young age he was already this great..." The elder clenched his teeth.
Had his condition allowed the Elder to be amazed to see Zhou Yuan's rare talent. The Night Bat Elder agreed that if Zhou Yuan grew up later, he would become a famous warrior in the martial world.
In contrast to the condition of his opponent who was still fairly calm, Zhou Yuan on the other hand was very serious about facing assassins at the level of the Golden Realm.
The Night Bat Elder was late realizing Zhou Yuan's swordplay was getting longer and faster and increasing. Initially he was quite able to greet Zhou Yuan's attack calmly but this time he felt difficulty even a little cornered.
Zhou Yuan then increased his sword swing speed to a different level while simultaneously flowing a considerable amount of profound power, suddenly Zhou Yuan's sword was coated in a burning flame.
The Elders eyes instantly widened. "Don't tell me this swordplay... Not likely? How, how can you do this technique!" The elder was completely shocked after noticing the technique Zhou Yuan used on him.
"The Fire Sword Technique should have been lost in the martial world, you, who are you?"
The elder was certain that even though he had never seen it in person, the technique Zhou Yuan used was the legendary Fire Sword Technique.
The Fire Sword Technique was famous for its extremely fast swordplay with swords clad in flames. If the Water Sword Technique rests on the bending sword then the Fire Sword Technique focuses on its swinging speed.
At first glance if the people did not know about it, they would see Zhou Yuan was using a fire element type change but actually the fire was created by itself.
When Zhou Yuan played his sword quickly, the sword he swung would rub against the air around him, making Zhou Yuan's sword enveloped in flames.
