Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 256 — Heavenly Fruit Fight IV
Zhou Yuan turned to Hong Sha whom he thought was the group leader of them but as he looked at it, Zhou Yuan found Hong Sha already far away from him and attempted to escape.
Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly, he had no intention of criminal groups like them escaping him or there would be any casualties in the future, even though it was far away that Zhou Yuan still chased after Hong Sha by flying.
Hong Sha's breathing hunted down and his heart beat faster, as Ghost Sword and the others busied Zhou Yuan he had already first escaped.
Hong Sha realized he alone would not win against Zhou Yuan, Hong Sha hoped that Ghost Sword could hold Zhou Yuan off for a while at least until he left Hanma City or obtained a hiding place.
Hong Sha continued to run as hard as he could when suddenly someone landed before him at high speed.
Hong Sha's breathing was restrained and immediately took some distance from the person, his eyes widened upon discovering that the person was Zhou Yuan.
Hong Sha's heart beat faster and a feeling of fear enveloped his heart. Hong Sha instantly took a kneeling position and dropped his weapon.
"I'm losing, I'm giving up, please don't kill me!" Hong Sha started to beg.
Zhou Yuan frowned, he did not expect Hong Sha to act so immediately, originally Zhou Yuan thought the leader of their group would put up a fight to the end but it turned out his conjecture was too far off.
'He's afraid of death, yes...' Zhou Yuan smiled coldly.
Being a swordsman then every day is filled with a kind of danger that can take lives so that anyone who undergoes this profession is generally ready to die but of course there are some exceptions from those who fear death for example This Hong Sha.
Although he had become a warrior of the Light Realm, killing many innocent people but still faced with death directly, he became fearful and cowardly.
"You want to live, you don't have to worry as long as you answer what I ask, you'll probably be kind enough to forgive your life." Zhou Yuan smiled widely.
Hong Sha who thought he was going to die here suddenly his mood brightened when there was hope for life.
"I will answer what the warrior asks as long as it can save my life."
If this time the Ghost Sword, the Twin Demons and the others were still alive perhaps they would be shocked to the point of vomiting blood seeing Hong Sha's compassionate demeanor.
"Good, starting from a simple question, I guess you all come from the Sky Cloud Temple Alliance?"
Hong Sha seemed hesitant to reply but forcefully he nodded confirming, Hong Sha said that he was Huang Zhang's right hand.
"Don Zhang? Ah I happened to have a grudge against him in the past..." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly as he recalled the end of his life in his first life. "Now the more serious question, where is the headquarters of your organization located right now?"
In this life Zhou Yuan intended to destroy the Sky Cloud Temple Organization if the situation was possible, only that he did not know the location of their headquarters.
Hong Sha's face suddenly turned pale, Zhou Yuan's question was tantamount to taking his life. If He told the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple then if he was still alive even though he would be hunted by his organization.
Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance, he did not have time to negotiate so directly pressed the sword of Kusanagi towards Hong Sha's neck.
Hong Sha immediately replied and said that the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple Organization was numerous and not all of him knew about it, not to mention that the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple would move around every once in a while.
Zhou Yuan then took out a map from the space ring and gave it to Hong Sha, "You signaled where the location of the Sky Cloud Temple headquarters is, I want to know."
"But... What is the swordsman for?" Hong Sha asked doubtfully.
"Just write fast before I change my mind and take your life."
Hong Sha cursed in his heart but before Zhou Yuan's strength he felt helpless. Hong Sha had no other choice and started to cross mark the map.
Zhou Yuan stroked his chin, he saw the marked location on the map, despite knowing the whereabouts of their headquarters but each marked location was very far away despite flying though.
'The Sky Cloud Temple has existed since a hundred years ago, of course they have many headquarters...' Zhou Yuan sighed softly, some of those headquarters were even outside of the Moon Empire.
The Sky Cloud Temple was hostile to many people, in order to avoid leaking information then they made many headquarters and moved around every time.
"Can I go now?" Ask Hong Sha to make sure.
"Wait a minute, there are a few more questions about you and I see you have a high position there. Now tell me all the power of the Sky Cloud Temple entirely?"
Hong Sha gulped, "But Swordsman, that's..."
Zhou Yuan clucked then released a hint of his murderous aura, "You've only been given two choices, answer or have your head chopped off today!"
All the feathers of Hong Sha goosebumps violently and then curses in his heart, he again does not dwell and inevitably he has to answer it.

Jiang Yifei dominated the fight as he fought against those dozens of Crystal Realm warriors, with his strength that he was now indeed able to match his opponent but not to defeat them all.
Jiang Yifei's breathing began to be irregular when his inner power had already been drained by more than half, the white fire technique he used now did indeed require a greater inner power than before.
"Yuan Gege, why did you take so long..." Yifei bit his lips.
Yifei was tasked with holding back those dozens of Crystal Realm warriors for a while, it had already been ten minutes passed yet there was no sign of Zhou Yuan going to be here.
On the other hand while Yifei was thinking about his situation, the condition of the dozens of Crystal Realm warriors was not in a good condition.
Although none of them died, almost all of them were injured.
The white flames that Yifei released were very different from the flames in general especially the hot temperature he emitted, making almost a dozen of the Crystal Realm warriors suffer serious burns every time regarding his attack.
Yifei made the flame armor that enveloped his body as a defense, this made his opponents unable to attack Yifei from close range so they used long-range attacks.
The problem was that Yifei could also attack them by shooting fireballs, which overwhelmed the dozen Crystal Realm warriors.
"We don't win against him, we better run and get out of here!"
"Are you afraid just because you're fighting a little girl, she's alone and we're a dozen, where your man's pride lies!"
The Crystal Realm warriors were arguing with each other, they had been assigned Hong Sha to help but in fact did not dwell against the one girl in front of him. Their self-esteem feels hurt when facing the girl despite realizing Yifei has more power than them.
"He is strong but I'm sure soon his inner strength will run out, if you want to leave then don't blame me for revealing the news that you lost to a girl." One of those who was reluctant to escape snorted loudly at those who wanted to run away.
Just as they were still arguing, Zhou Yuan suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside Yifei, seeing that the dozens of Crystal Realms had yet to escape making Zhou Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yuan Gege's..." Yifei was pleased that Zhou Yuan had finally returned.
"Sorry to have to wait a little while, there's business I have to do first." Zhou Yuan stroked Yifei's head gently.
Zhou Yuan's gaze was then directed at the dozens of Crystal Realms who were now looking at him with pale faces before smiling widely. "It just so happens you guys haven't run, don't worry I'll end this quickly."
