Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 294 — Blade Sword III
Even though Zhou Yuan looked calm when fighting against his enemies, the young man had his own worries and worries.
Zhou Yuan had never expected himself to fight a high-level Light Realm warrior like this at the same time, fighting them at once was obviously very difficult to do.
He added that he had concerns about the amount of his inner strength that began to thin as he held back his opponent's attack. From the beginning Zhou Yuan was unsure of winning this fight.
If only he had not seen Xiao Fan who was in danger back then he might not have immediately intervened but in fact the situation forced him to do so.
Huang Zhang's combination with the other three criminals left Zhou Yuan in a defensive position, leaving Zhou Yuan with no chance to strike back and play his sword techniques.
The four of them continued to fight up to hundreds of moves, Huang Zhang clenched his teeth seeing that no attack had managed to touch the masked young man.
"He turned out to be this great and then until when he could survive..." Huang Zhang clucked in annoyance.
One thing that made Huang Zhang feel better was seeing Zhou Yuan's heirlooms getting damaged as their swords clashed against each other.
If it were not for the extremely high power control Zhou Yuan might have broken his heirloom from earlier, Zhou Yuan was able to defend against them due to his good internal power control.
As the two sides continued to fight suddenly Huang Zhang increased his attack power on one of his sword swings.
The attack was filled with a powerful force, Zhou Yuan managed to hold it back but the navel was instantly destroyed as it resisted the attack.
Huang Zhang did not waste a single second as Zhou Yuan's sword broke, he again swung his sword which this time aimed at Zhou Yuan's head.
Even though Zhou Yuan managed to dodge the attack but the mask he was wearing was split in half. The mask fell down and Zhou Yuan's handsome face was seen behind it.
Zhou Yuan clucked softly then leaped to keep his distance from his opponent, on the same side a shocked expression was plastered from the faces of Huang Zhang, the Demon Sword, as well as the others.
"No way, is he really as young as he looks?"
"Not only is he young even a teenager, I don't believe the power in being able to make a swordsman so young!?"
The two criminals who were with Huang Zhang and the Demon sword discussing, they realized that Zhou Yuan used a special technique to look youthful should not be as young as a dozen-year-old.
In the martial world, it is common for warriors to use deep energy to look youthful, especially for female warriors who want to look beautiful, but even so they will only look like someone in their 20-30s.
"Don't just shut up, quick attack him!" Huang Zhang exclaimed.
Huang Zhang admitted that he was surprised to see the face of young Zhou Yuan, but he could not allow the opportunity. After Zhou Yuan's sword was destroyed then this was their chance to kill Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan saw his sword stay the other half, he wanted to take another heirloom in his space ring but his opponents were already a few steps away.
Zhou Yuan used the half of the cut sword to defend, but he was still able to withstand his opponent's attacks even if not perfectly.
Finally some of their attacks hit Zhou Yuan severely, the deep-powered attack apparently did not inflict any injuries on Zhou Yuan's skin and it shocked his opponents.
"How can..."
"His body is so hard, he's wearing a protective suit or what?!"
The four of them could not see any protective armor on Zhou Yuan's robe but they watched as scales were etched into the young man's skin.
Zhou Yuan did use his Dragon Scales Technique to harden his skin, even if it did not physically injure him but Zhou Yuan still felt pain due to their powerful attacks.
"I can't stay in this position..." Zhou Yuan gathered the energy in his mouth and then spouted out a huge amount of fire. "Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
Huang Zhang, the Demon Sword, and the two criminals who were near Zhou Yuan glared at the fire that the young man was spouting, they hurriedly jumped up to avoid him.
They retreated to separate the hefty distance between the two, their gazes on Zhou Yuan once again changing, looking from the temperature and magnitude of the flames, showing Zhou Yuan to be extremely skilled in type-changing techniques.
Zhou Yuan's breathing was already irregular using that stance, his already depleted profound energy was completely drained a lot due to the technique.
Zhou Yuan started thinking, calculating and estimating the steps he had to take with the rest of his inner strength, which he was certain to be unable to sustain continuously.
"It looks like your situation is very bad, you're really in big trouble aren't you?"
"Insider?!"
Zhou Yuan was surprised when he heard Ingrid's voice in his mind and at the same time he saw the sword that was now flying towards him.
Ingrid's sword quickly reached in front of Zhou Yuan who was instantly caught by the young man by his hand.
"I expected you to be in this situation but didn't expect it to get any worse, you were completely overwhelmed..." Ingrid emerged from his sword then floated beside Zhou Yuan, the sword spirit glancing towards Huang Zhang and the others. "Your condition here is far from being prime, your inner power is already half in use when you flew before, otherwise you might have no trouble fighting them."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, Ingrid was clearly able to grasp the situation himself quickly.
Ingrid's words were not entirely wrong, before this war began the power in Zhou Yuan had indeed been used more than half of it, not to mention that he gave up some of it to Ingrid in order to use the legendary sword.
According to Ingrid, if not for Zhou Yuan being able to conserve his inner manpower well perhaps the young man had already exhausted himself a long time ago.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you, you can win against them."
"Hm, what do you mean win, you-..." Zhou Yuan had yet to finish his sentence as his hand holding the Ingrid Sword flowed deeply before heading into his dangti.
Ingrid turned out to give the deep power he had to Zhou Yuan's body, in a short time the young man could feel his inner power had recovered.
"It... How can..." Zhou Yuan was shocked widened his eyes.
Ingrid snorted before folding his hands across his chest. "The explanation is long and you probably won't understand it, in short, I can get some inner strength by killing someone, I just happened to have killed a lot of people..."
Zhou Yuan did not understand too much but he was quite happy to hear that, Zhou Yuan threw away the cut sword earlier before taking out the Kusanagi Sword from the s.p.a.ce ring.
With the profound strength he currently possessed, Zhou Yuan could use the Kusanagi Sword for quite a while. The sword instantly sucked in the energy in Zhou Yuan when it slipped out of its sheath.
"Alright, this way I can fight seriously now..." Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder with a kusanagi sword while smiling broadly at his opponents.
Huang Zhang's heart beat quickly at Zhou Yuan's cold-impressed smile, his premonition saying that his fight with the young swordsman would end badly on his part.
