Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 282 — Sword Ingrid II
"They're all dead, you should be safe by now." Zhou Yuan smiled, speaking to Han Xiang and the others.
Han Xiang and the watching citizens could only hold their breath, the wolf that a few minutes ago threatened their settlement had now turned into a sea of corpses.
Han Xiang stared at the green sword that Zhou Yuan was now holding, if he did not look at it directly maybe he would think that the hovering sword was an illusion.
In fact Ingrid's sword actually killed the wolves in one strike, proving what he saw was reality.
"Thank you, master swordsman, for once again we are indebted to you." Han Xiang said after a moment of silence.
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly while smiling awkwardly, let alone them, he himself was actually surprised by Ingrid's sword ability.
Zhou Yuan himself hesitated to finish off the pack of wolves in as short a time as the sword did, although the wolf was easily defeated, it still took time.
After the wolf problem was resolved, Zhou Yuan let the other citizens take care of the rest. In order not to occur similar events, residents of the Human Beast settlement buried the bodies of groups of wolves and dead thieves so as not to invite other wild animals.
Zhou Yuan returned to the room that Han Xiang had provided earlier, he wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with Ingrid.
"How can you do that?" Zhou Yuan asked Ingrid.
"Do what, I don't understand?"
"Wolf attack, how can you control this sword." Zhou Yuan pointed at Ingrid's sword.
"You still don't seem to understand what I mean," Ingrid sighed while shaking his head. "I've told you that I am the spirit of that sword, in another sense the Sword of Ingrid is my body."
Zhou Yuan was surprised but a moment later he tried to understand it. "So that's why Ingrid's sword moved, I thought you had to use your power to keep the sword alive but it turned out to be yourself."
Ingrid nodded.
"Doesn't that mean you can kill anyone, or get away from me whenever you want?"
"Can't, if I can do it, I've been out of that tomb for a long time." Ingrid rolled his eyes lazily. "I am a sword forged by life, I cannot move if I have no owner, and also when I move, I need great inner strength."
Zhou Yuan frowned at the girl's remark but he suddenly understood it as he felt the Ingrid Sword he was holding suck his profound energy quite large.
This sensation was not the first time Zhou Yuan felt so he did not panic too much, the Kusanagi Sword he had at the moment also did a similar thing when touched.
"The more it moves, the more power I need, because you've shed blood on me before, then I need your inner strength." Ingrid is clearer.
Ingrid said that he could not escape Zhou Yuan because the young man was already his owner. He would lose power if he was too far away from Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan finally understood, feeling lucky to have a sword as advanced as Ingrid.
"I hope someday you'll take me back to my world because it looks like you have a special body." Ingrid pointed at Zhou Yuan's body. "No special body is born in the martial world unless there is a great destiny that will accompany you."
"What do you mean?"
"When I suck your inner strength I know that you have energy in Yin. If one day you can turn your inner power into qi, then you will have Yin qi energy. A more pure and perfect Qi..."
Zhou Yuan frowned, he had heard the qi from Yun Feiyu but did not understand it any more clearly. Now the same word is repeated by Ingrid.
"I see, I don't have time to think about it anyway." Zhou Yuan smiled wryly.
Zhou Yuan still had the mission to seize the Heavenly Fruit that had grown in the Moon Empire. Zhou Yuan had no time to train except when he was resting.
Zhou Yuan intended to keep the Ingrid Sword into his room ring but to no avail, the young man frowned, having tried several times the sword was completely unable to suck.
"Are you stupid or deaf?" Ingrid who was aware of Zhou Yuan's actions immediately glared.
"Eh, I just intend to keep you in the space ring to be safer, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Do you think the sword is a dead thing?" Ingrid stared intently at Zhou Yuan.
"Aren't all swords like that?"
"Yes, but I'm not!" Ingrid looks upset. "The sword is me, which in another sense is a living being."
Zhou Yuan opened his mouth shut but no words came out, he scratched his cheek awkwardly, "Sorry, I don't know."
"Hmph! You idiot!"
The space ring can hold any object of any size, both large and small, without any limit, but it has its drawbacks, the space ring cannot suck a living thing or still be alive into it, therefore the Ingrid Sword cannot be sucked by the ring.
Zhou Yuan seemed to have no choice but to keep the sword at his waist. The moment it happened suddenly Zhou Yuan's room door was knocked violently from the outside.
Zhou Yuan opened the door and found Han Lilis behind it, the girl looked like she was panicking.
"Brother Yuan, there was an attack outside the settlement. Father ordered me to ask for your help." Lilis said with intermittent breathing.
"You mean the wolf pack, I've handled it before so you don't have to worry."
Han Lilis shook her head strongly. "No, not that one, Brother Yuan, there's a bird stealth troupe above the sky. They're on top of our settlement."
Zhou Yuan frowned, how many attacks toward the settlement he lived in today.
Zhou Yuan and Han Lilis rushed out to find the settlement looking dark by the stealth of birds flying above it, blocking the sunlight.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened to see so many eagles that had become demons, compared to the wolf pack earlier, the number of these eagle demons was far more.
There were at least four hundreds of demons flying in the sky and making a swirling formation.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, realizing that there were some people riding on the eagle demon above him. Zhou Yuan realized, the situation this time was not ordinary.
Just as the eagle demon was still forming a formation suddenly there was one of them that was free-falling down and landing right before Zhou Yuan.
The citizens of the Beast Human Race became wary of seeing that person, on the other hand Zhou Yuan actually reacted otherwise.
The one who came down was a woman and Zhou Yuan still knew her. "Miss Miao?"
"Brother Yuan, long time no see." The girl replied with a gentle smile.
