Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 272 — Crush Organization Headquarters II
Zhou Yuan pulled his sword from the old man's body and then swung it to wash away the dripping blood. Zhou Yuan did not have time to serve the old man so he killed him in one fell swoop.
"The Sky Cloud Temple organization has many Light Realm warriors as they consume black pills in a prolonged manner, even though the pills are speeding up their tiers but the enhanced foundation is extremely fragile...' Zhou Yuan shook his head, he felt the strength of the old man he killed was too weak to be said to be a Light Realm swordsman with 4 opened meridians.
As Zhou Yuan pondered over many things, the criminals around him began to turn around and flee, watching Zhou Yuan kill the old man so easily frightened them to death.
"Don't think you can run away from me!" Zhou Yuan snorted in annoyance, realizing their intentions.
Zhou Yuan certainly did not let them get away with it, he absorbed all the surrounding light until the surroundings turned pitch-black.
The criminals seemed surprised by the phenomenon, those who wanted to get out of the headquarters immediately stopped their steps because it was dangerous to walk near the slope with eyes that could not see, he said, on the other hand Zhou Yuan actually took advantage of the situation to finish them off even more.
After reaching the Light Realm swordsman Zhou Yuan could maximize this light absorption ability for much longer.
Zhou Yuan moved quickly to finish off his opponent as darkness fell, as the light began to return he had already wiped out almost a portion of their numbers.
There are hundreds of criminals at the base, they are shocked to find that their comrades have been killed when they can look back.
Their knees suddenly felt limp with fear and Zhou Yuan used that fear to continue killing more of them. Kusanagi's sword swung, hunting down the criminals savagely.
Zhou Yuan did not give them a chance to run, he realized letting the criminals continue to live would endanger many people in the future.
About ten minutes passed Zhou Yuan finally finished his slaughter, he was not sure if he had killed all the criminals because of their numbers are too many but certainly now the headquarters has been filled with pools of blood.
Killing hundreds of people did not make Zhou Yuan feel any fatigue or guilt, since he was born with the Sky King Body he did not have any feelings after killing someone.
'Hm, if you think about it, who's really criminal here...' Zhou Yuan smiled faintly looking at his surroundings, he was not sure if killing the criminals was a good act but according to him this was the most effective action to pin a lot of people.
Zhou Yuan sighed then sheathed his sword back, now at the headquarters only he himself remained, no more warriors because the strongest person here is the old man who had died in his hands in one attack.
Zhou Yuan then began to wander around the headquarters and was a little surprised to learn that the headquarters was bigger than he had expected.
One thing Zhou Yuan realized at this moment was that the headquarters he came to now had no higher-ups of the Sky Cloud Temple looking for him.
Zhou Yuan guessed that they were in another base, there were dozens of bases that Zhou Yuan knew of their current location and he believed that one of them was a high-ranking member of the Sky Cloud Temple.
Zhou Yuan continued to explore every room in the headquarters, hoping to get information regarding the Sky Cloud Temple or their movements in the future but it seemed that it was not here.
The captives Zhou Yuan thought of also seemed to be non-existent but Zhou Yuan found a treasure warehouse that had many gold coins in it.
Zhou Yuan was stunned, the amount of treasure was so large that it filled the room, Zhou Yuan then started to insert the gold coins into his space ring.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly as he was still sucking on the gold coins, a thought deep in his head.
Zhou Yuan arguably already had a lot of money in his space ring and he was sure that there was no one who rivaled him in the Moon Empire when it came to wealth.
The Moon Emperor Palace that possessed many treasures though could not be juxtaposed with the wealth Zhou Yuan currently possessed, the gold coins were too many and if Zhou Yuan took them all out he was sure that he could create a lake with many gold coins in it.
The problem was that Zhou Yuan did not see the usefulness of the treasure other than just keeping it.
Zhou Yuan only bought a good or service that he thought was necessary, he did not like to waste money let alone his experience in his first life as a beggar made him appreciate every value of money.
'I am reminded of the case of many governments washing people's money, for what they want that much money if in the end they stay full just eat with one plate...' Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly.
Humans are biological creatures, they only need to eat and drink to survive and perform sexually to make offspring. In addition to clothes and houses that are occupied, the rest is just a desire.
This human desire is infinite, the more they obey the desire the more other desires arise.
Zhou Yuan spent all the treasure to the end, besides the treasure warehouse he also found a room in which there were many black pills.
Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised after seeing the numbers, though, he now better understood why the Sky Cloud Temple Alliance had never run out of black pills if in one of their headquarters alone there were already this many black pills.
Zhou Yuan did not take the black pill or let it go, he used a change of fire type then burned the black pill until it turned into dust.
After touring for two more hours at the base, Zhou Yuan finally walked out of it.
"Elemental Earth — Waves of Earth Destruction!"
Zhou Yuan punched his hand to the ground and caused a very powerful earthquake, the earthquake made the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple he came to disintegrate and buried in the ground.
Zhou Yuan sighed then started to continue on his way back, he darted flying and went to the location of the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple next.
***
Three weeks passed Zhou Yuan continued to destroy the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple nonstop. In those three weeks he had destroyed 5 of their headquarters until it was destroyed until it remained.
Zhou Yuan obtained many treasures as well as some information of the new headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple he had just learned about, as well as some information of the new headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple, however in the five bases that Zhou Yuan destroyed he still had not met the higher-ups of the Sky Cloud Temple.
Zhou Yuan was only fighting the high-level Light Realm warriors in each of their headquarters tasked with guarding the place, their strength was indeed powerful yet still not a match for Zhou Yuan.
When after destroying one of the other headquarters Zhou Yuan landed near a waterfall in the middle of the forest to rest.
At that time the night had already enveloped the sky, Zhou Yuan made a fireplace as well as roasted the venison he had hunted earlier, while waiting for the food to mature Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged and replenished his inner strength again.
It was only a few minutes that Zhou Yuan concentrated on replenishing his inner strength that he suddenly heard a voice of help not far from him sitting down. The sound was getting closer and seemed to be pointing this way.
It was then that Zhou Yuan saw a girl being chased by some men.
Zhou Yuan frowned when the girl was someone from the human beast race, the other side that was chasing them was a grown man who clearly saw their intentions were not good on the girl.
