Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 264 — Family Ling IV
A few Zhou Yuan tread attacks managed to land on the three Elders nearby, the treads that were enveloped in cold energy made them bounce far back.
The four Elders who were hit by Zhou Yuan's attack instantly vomited quite a lot of blood and part of their bodies froze. All three are difficult to maintain consciousness until finally unconscious.
The remaining five Elders panicked then hurriedly moved away before Zhou Yuan attacked, they saw the three Elders who were hit by the young man's attack had non-light injuries.
Zhou Yuan was intending to end the remaining five Elders but a great sword wave suddenly aimed at him. Zhou Yuan dodged the attack easily then before long Tianhai appeared with the sword already detached from the sheath.
"Young man, I won't let you act as you please!" Tianhai looked at Zhou Yuan coldly.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. "I thought you'd see it through to the end?"
Tianhai clucked slowly. "What exactly is your purpose here, I'm not sure you're from the Zhou Family, we've never offended a high-ranking swordsman like you?!"
Tianhai initially thought Zhou Yuan was part of the criminal but saw none of the young man's attacks take the life of his troops, Tianhai started to rethink and realized Zhou Yuan's purpose of attacking his residence for different reasons.
"Your beliefs are completely unfounded, the reason I'm here is because of the actions of you who harassed my family, if I wasn't on time then maybe your guests there had killed my mother and sister!" Zhou Yuan pointed at Ling Fuyan who was in one direction.
Tianhai frowned, Zhou Yuan's report impressed differently to Ling Fuyan before.
"You're bragging, you're clearly setting up my neighbor?!"
Zhou Yuan smiled cynically, "As far as you believe it or not but I don't care, you intend to rule over many nobles no, that is enough to make me attack your family."
"You want to face the Ling Family alone..." Tianhai laughed out loud while releasing an aura of great power on his body. "Then we end it all here by way of a swordsman!"
Zhou Yuan frowned, he could feel the power Tianhai unleashed was at the level of the Light Realm warrior with 6 meridians exposed.
In the Moon Empire, warriors with such a level of strength could only be counted with fingers and were all warriors who had carved out a lot of history in the martial world.
"It seems like all this time the Ling Family hid their original strength..." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly.
Swordsman of tiers like Tianhai would be as famous as Xiao Fan and Yue Jian but the fact was that no one knew the old man's abilities even the imperial side. This showed Tianhai deliberately kept his breakthrough a secret when opening the sixth meridian.
Zhou Yuan made an ice sword in his hand and without further ado he advanced and attacked Tianhai first because usually the first attacker would be easier to seed.
Zhou Yuan started playing his agile sword technique to attack Tianhai. Tianhai's originally loud laughter slowly faded away when he discovered Zhou Yuan's swordplay was at least more expert than he had expected.
Tianhai did not stay silent and started using the sword moves he had but his attack did not manage to change his state.
Tianhai's world-famous martial sword technique felt dull before the young man, Tianhai's heart beating faster as he realized Zhou Yuan's sword swing continued to grow faster with time.
Tianhai had a hard time maintaining his composure, other than being fast, Zhou Yuan's sword movements were also hard to guess due to the complicated variations in movements.
In the next dozens of moves, Zhou Yuan cornered the leader of the Ling Family. Tianhai who thought Zhou Yuan was still within his ability now began to think again, he was sure that if this fight continued then he would be at a disadvantage.
'Who exactly is this young man... Only Senior Fan should be able to defeat my family's sword techniques...' Tianhai had a hard time maintaining his composure, it had been a long time since he had not felt pressured like this when fighting seriously.
The Elders of the Ling Family as well as those watching to the point of not believing the leader of their Family would be cornered like that by a young man who seemed to be only a dozen years old.
"If I continue to be around him I could be hurt more than this..." Tianhai gathered a deep force in his mouth before then turning it into energy. "Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
Tianhai had in fact mastered the change of fire type, he spewed out a sizable sea of fire and aimed at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan did not stay silent, he did similar and used other elemental techniques. "Elemental Water — Breath Blowing Water!"
Zhou Yuan sprayed water no less massive than the fire Tianhai released, the two elements clashing together which then created steam and thick smoke into the surroundings.
"He also mastered the change of water type, how many elements did he master!?" Tianhai clenched his teeth.
Tianhai had never heard of anyone mastering many elements like Zhou Yuan, the problem was that the young man also possessed high sword skills.
When the thick smoke blocked the surrounding visibility Zhou Yuan actually took advantage of the moment to attack Tianhai and appeared from behind him.
"Element Sword Technique — Wave Sword!"
Zhou Yuan swung his ice sword towards Tianhai's back, the old man had noticed but was too late to dodge so a long scratch wound filled his back.
"Damn!"
Tianhai leaped backwards then checked his back, although not too deeply into Zhou Yuan's injuries could not be said to be light.
"Give up, I probably wouldn't have killed you if you and your family would have bowed under my feet..." Zhou Yuan unsheathed his ice sword.
Hearing this Tianhai laughed out loud, "You think I'll just bow down, I have to admit you're great and I'm no match for you but if I get killed here, all the noble families in the Moon Empire will be hostile towards the Zhou Family..."
Tianhai began to reveal some explanations of his family's relationship with other nobles that the old man was clearly threatening Zhou Yuan.
"If you don't apologize now, the Zhou Family will be hostile to many nobles, when that time comes they will begin to antagonize your family, obliterating your residence, killing your father and mother..."
Tianhai's unceasing rant finally triggered an angry emotion at Zhou Yuan, the young man suddenly released such a dense murderous aura.
Tianhai's rant was immediately stuck in his throat after seeing Zhou Yuan's murderous aura. His face was pale and a terrified expression began to fill his senses.
Zhou Yuan's murderous aura quickly spread throughout the surrounding area, the mentally weak guards began to fall to the ground one by one while those who were still strong would have difficulty breathing.
Zhou Yuan's murderous aura had already grown increasingly dense after killing the Sword Ghost and the others. Anyone who saw it would agree, Zhou Yuan is more dangerous than even criminals.
