Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 279 — Demon Bear
Zhou Yuan immediately created more fireballs to make his visibility wider, the scenery in this tomb was extremely dark, Zhou Yuan could barely see anything if there were no fireballs around.
When the room was filled with floating fireballs, Zhou Yuan could see the bear more clearly.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened, in addition to his bear's staggering size, the bear's shape seemed unorthodox.
All over her fur was a burning electric spark, her eyes were red, and she had sharp nails on her hands and feet.
"He's a demon king!" Zhou Yuan could see that the bear had already become an old demon that had even evolved into a demon king.
Zhou Yuan tightened his teeth, he did not expect to face such a troublesome opponent.
The bear demon roared so loudly that its voice echoed throughout the tomb passage, it stared at Zhou Yuan savagely, like it wanted to tear the young man apart.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, aware that he was considered a threat to the demon. The bear ran back towards him with surprising speed, although his body was large but within seconds he was in front of him.
Zhou Yuan did not remain silent, this time already prepared for the demon attack.
Zhou Yuan dodged some of the bear claw's initial attacks before pulling Kusanagi's sword and countering him back.
Zhou Yuan played his sword agilely, his footwork was so fast that within a short period of time the bear had already suffered several slash wounds from both his front and back.
Zhou Yuan's sword speed was not something that the bear demon could avoid let alone his large body.
Zhou Yuan frowned after landing dozens of attacks, Kusanagi's sharp sword slash only managed to make his opponent lightly injured.
"How does he have skin this hard?" Zhou Yuan took some distance from the bear to look at the situation further.
Kusanagi sword he was holding was no ordinary heirloom, he could cut through iron like cutting tofu easily but currently the sword was unable to penetrate the bear's skin any deeper, this made Zhou Yuan react sufficiently.
Zhou Yuan held his sword even tighter, draining his power in a considerable amount, making the color of Kusanagi's sword increasingly shrouded in darkness before he then used his sword technique.
"Element Sword Technique — Wind Wave Flow!"
Zhou Yuan swung his sword which created a sharp wind blade, the wind blade moved swiftly at the bear.
The wind knife managed to inflict a wide wound on the bear but not deep enough to paralyze it.
"His skin is harder than I thought." Zhou Yuan frowned.
On the other hand the stealth bear roared furiously because Zhou Yuan had injured him quite badly, making the electric spark around him even bigger and lit up.
The bear opened its mouth wide, the lightning sparks that were all over its body suddenly centered into its mouth, creating a ball of high-powered lightning energy.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened, let alone that ball of lightning energy being shot straight at him. Zhou Yuan jumped far enough to dodge the ball of lightning.
The ball of lightning hit the floor of the room, creating a huge explosion that shook the entire tomb.
There are several types of stealth that evolved one of which is a demon that has elements. This type of demon could use a change of type like a swordsman, one example was the bear demon in front of Zhou Yuan.
The bear did not stop there, it reopened its mouth again, creating a ball of lightning energy and fired a second time towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan clucked softly, this time he did not plan to dodge, Zhou Yuan had another idea.
Zhou Yuan drew his sword towards the ball of lightning, as soon as the ball of lightning shot towards him was sucked into Kusanagi's sword.
Zhou Yuan used the flipping technique he had previously learned, he then swung his sword back, the ball of lightning that was sucked by his sword suddenly appeared again but this time he shot towards the bear.
The bear probably never thought his attack would be returned to him. The ball of lightning that Zhou Yuan unleashed hit the bear's body in a landslide, a huge explosion was then created.
Zhou Yuan thought the explosion was enough to cripple his opponent but it turned out that his guess was wrong. The bear was still fine only the wounds he received were getting worse.
The bear roared back with a louder voice, a sign that he was getting angry at his opponent, quickly running towards Zhou Yuan to kill the young man.
"Elemental Ice — Lasting Ice Flakes!"
Zhou Yuan stomped his right foot firmly onto the floor, before long ice flakes appeared under his feet before spreading throughout the room, in a short period of time, the floor of the room turned into a shiny ice floor.
The bear that was running towards Zhou Yuan slipped as the floor of the room became slippery.
Zhou Yuan used this as an opportunity. A SPLASH! He sheathed his sword back before teleporting right in front of the bear.
"Elemental Iron — Iron Hand Boxing!"
Zhou Yuan's fist had turned shiny like iron, he hit the bear's stomach hard, throwing the bear's body several meters away.
Before the bear took its balance back, Zhou Yuan had already appeared in front of him and dealt another blow. The bear was thrown away a few times.
The bear's skin was indeed hard so it could withstand sharp objects but he was not strong enough to withstand a powerful punch attack.
Zhou Yuan's punch was not ordinary, to the bear every blow was like a huge mace hitting his body. Zhou Yuan's perfect physical strength made his punch attack so dangerous.
The bear's body was thrown back but this time it hit the wall of the room strongly.
The bear's roar was not as loud as before after several of his bones were broken by Zhou Yuan's iron fist. His loud roar had already changed like the neighing sound of a goat about to be slaughtered.
"I don't want to do this but you're forcing me..."
Zhou Yuan appeared before the bear before exerting a large amount of deep energy on both of his fists.
Without a second thought Zhou Yuan then gave a barrage of iron fist strikes at the already defenseless bear. Each blow was of great force, within a short period of time half the bones in the bear's body were shattered.
As Zhou Yuan's final attack slammed the bear against the floor, grabbing its head before twisting it tightly, the sound of a broken bone rang out loud. The bear roared his last time before he stopped breathing.
