Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 24 — Unexpected Arrival
Despite not saying it directly, Zhou Yao disagreed with his son's words but seeing that some of his family's officers had been injured since the trip here, he could not refute Zhou Yuan's words.
Zhou Yao advised Zhou Yuan to stay nearby if he wanted to help with the attack.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he picked up the sword from the Gold Realm swordsman he had killed before moving following his father from behind, both of them returning to the battlefield.
The father and son pair then began to move to eradicate the other masked killers.
Zhou Yao as a swordsman at the level of the Golden Realm Stage 7 could easily defeat masked assassins who were the majority of the warriors of the Silver Realm and Bronze Realm.
Zhou Yao's swordplay was high enough for a swordsman, moreover he was also a genius in the unrivalled Zhou Family before his son was born.
In just a short while, he had already killed dozens of them.
Zhou Yuan was also not inferior in his role, he used the basic sword technique to fight against the other masked assassins, the profound power it exuded was large enough to make the sword he swung with high sharpness.
Zhou Yao as his father could only be shocked and gulped when every time he saw his son kill, he could witness how Zhou Yuan had without a doubt killed his opponents without blinking.
Zhou Yuan's attention was suddenly distracted by the sound of the fight from one corner of the direction.
The fight was actually very loud heard by the surrounding but because there were many other fights made most not pay attention to the fight.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes when he found out that the one fighting was his grandfather, Zhou Bing. Zhou Yao turned his head in a similar direction, although he could not see clearly as Zhou Yuan but he knew that the one fighting was his grandfather.
Zhou Bing was in a bad state, rather he was cornered by his opponents with several slash wounds on his body.
"Dad, we have to help Grandpa..." Zhou Yuan pulled the sleeves of his father's robe to head there.
Without having to be reminded by his son even though Zhou Yao would help the Chairman of his family but before he made a move to do so, Zhou Yao saw that someone was moving quickly towards Zhou Bing's fight.
Zhou Yao's face immediately brightened to see the person, he was sure that with the arrival of the swordsman, victory would be achieved by the Zhou Family with absolute.
Just like his father's expression, Zhou Yuan also felt relieved as well as confident the Night Bats would perish tonight.

"Are you really a swordsman?!" Zhou Bing wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, looking at Ling Yun in annoyance as well as limp.
Zhou Bing thought he was going to fight one on one against Ling Yun given the grudges between the two but as it turned out, the leader of the Night Bats group had other cunning intentions.
Within the Night Bats group, there were three Elders who were warriors of the Golden Realm. Two of them attacked Zhou Bing from behind while the two were fighting.
Zhou Bing had absolutely not expected to be attacked in such a devious manner, a huge incision wound scraping his back.
Now that he had to fight Ling Yun with his two Elders, Zhou Bing should be able to defeat Ling Yun if one on one but after sustaining a huge wound on his back and having to fight against three warriors at once, Zhou Bing should be able to defeat Ling Yun if one on one but after sustaining a huge wound on his back as well as having to fight against three warriors at once, he's not sure he's gonna win.
Finally after they exchanged moves Zhou Bing fell down on his knees, the injuries on his body getting worse, Zhou Bing could only use his inner strength to stop the bleeding coming out, his gaze had also blurred.
Ling Yun did not respond to Zhou Bing's remark, his eyes were filled with hatred especially after making one of his eyes hurt from Zhou Bing's sword swing.
Ling Yun raised his sword preparing to kill Zhou Bing, as he swung his weapon towards the neck of the Zhou Family Leader suddenly his sword came to a halt as a sword held him back.
Ling Yun immediately jumped away from that person as well as his two Elders. They looked tense.
"How, how did you get here?" Ling Yun asked in a tone of disbelief.
That person, Xiao Fan, let out a cold snort. "I should say so, why are groups like you here?"
Xiao Fan then touched Zhou Bing's shoulder before draining a deep energy at him to heal the wounds engraved on Zhou Bing's body.
"Thank you, Fan, thankfully you're still here." Zhou Bing tried to get back up. His condition is starting to improve.
"No need to thank you, let's just say it's a reward because you saved me once."
Just as Zhou Bing and Xiao Fan were talking, Ling Yun suddenly turned around and left to flee. The two Elders looked surprised by the actions of the Chairman, they looked at each other before hurriedly following his steps.
Zhou Bing saw that just smiled sinisterly then turned his head towards Xiao Fan. "I can't let you run, if the Chairman is still alive then my family is still in danger..."
Zhou Bing was about to catch up but Xiao Fan confronted him.
"Let me go after them, Bing, you're hurt anyway." Xiao Fan moved his neck and arms as if he was doing some comforting work. "Some of them are also after my grandchildren, I won't let them live..."
After saying so, Xiao Fan immediately ran after Ling Yun who was already ranging far away from him. With his speed, it wasn't difficult for him to catch up with the assassin's Chief.
Zhou Bing who saw his best friend from afar only smiled faintly, although both of them were almost the same age but the strength he and Xiao Fan were very different.
Xiao Fan was a recognized talented swordsman in the martial world, his level of strength was now at the Light Realm.

"Why is the situation like this..." Ling Yun clenched his hands in annoyance upon seeing the situation he was seeing.
From the beginning, Ling Yun did not really expect to kill Zhou Bing given the power that was above him but his initial goal he wanted all the members of the Zhou family to be massacred.
Ling Yun wanted to inflict the most pain on Zhou Bing by killing everyone closest to him but it was unexpected that the members of his group were killed.
As he fled from the Zhou Family residence, Ling Yun saw so many dead Night Bats everywhere.
Supposedly with the strength he formed, it was not difficult for the Night Bat Group to eliminate the Zhou Family with the killing technique that he taught its members but in reality, it was precisely the group that many were killed.
Ling Yun could only curse inwardly, it would take a long time for him to form the group of Night Bats back.
Ling Yun was determined to avenge him one day but before he could bring out his hatred, Xiao Fan was suddenly standing in front of him.
Not only that, the two Elders who were with him were already lifeless behind him, Ling Yun simply did not see how Xiao Fan killed his two men.
Ling Yun realized he could not run away from a swordsman who belonged to the 10 heroes of the Moon Empire. Ling Yun laughed out loud and unsheathed his sword at Xiao Fan. "You may win today but someday you will..."
Xiao Fan had already moved quickly and slashed at Ling Yun's neck before his words were finished. Xiao Fan let out a cold snort when he saw Ling Yun's head roll with eyes still glaring.
