Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 296 — End of War
Huang Zhang's death was a blow to the organization's forces, Huang Zhang was a leader in this war so his death had a huge impact on their troops.
The two Light Realm criminals who saw Huang Zhang killed became panicked, they wanted to escape but the Ingrid Sword was like clinging to them and not letting the two of them go.
The two grew even more panicked as Zhou Yuan glanced towards them, his cold gaze making the two criminals' hearts beat faster.
Zhou Yuan did not waste any time after killing Huang Zhang, he then ran towards the two criminals that Ingrid was facing.
Together with the hovering Ingrid Sword, Zhou Yuan teamed up to defeat the two Light Realm criminals, although for a moment they could survive but with injuries that continued to be engraved on their bodies, it did not wait for long until one of Zhou Yuan's sword swings took the lives of the two one by one.
"It's still too long to feel victory..." Zhou Yuan caught his sword Ingrid in his left hand while his gaze headed towards the surroundings.
Fighting was still going on everywhere, even though Zhou Yuan had wiped out the middle ranks of the enemy forces but their numbers were still on a scale of thousands.
"Then let me take care of the rear-most troops first, it's only a matter of time they'll find out the leader was killed and then they'll run."
Zhou Yuan nodded, killing Huang Zhang and the two Light Realm criminals was indeed only known by the criminals who witnessed their fight so that the information had not been spread.
If the entire army of the organization knew it then they would retreat from this war, and when that happened Zhou Yuan would have difficulty stopping them because the numbers were too many.
Zhou Yuan did not want any organization troops alive after this war, they could return and would cause another chaos.
Zhou Yuan then threw Ingrid into the air, the sword then floated before going towards the rear of the enemy while on the same side Zhou Yuan also directly moved towards the surrounding criminals, kill them in one attack.
Kusanagi sword that is so sharp can cut anyone through it in one swing, if the hard heirloom alone can be cut easily by the sword let alone the human body.
In a few breaths, Zhou Yuan had already killed dozens of lives. Each swing of his sword was capable of killing two to three people at once and those killed by him were almost all in an incomplete body state.
Zhou Yuan's speed of eliminating his opponents was frightening not only in the view of the criminal forces but also for the allied forces.
They didn't even consider it a war because what they saw seemed like a massacre.
Zhou Yuan finished off the organization troops as he continued to move forward until he finally met Xiao Fan back who was currently fighting against the four Light Realm criminals.
The four criminals were only at the stage with 2 meridians open, Xiao Fan should not be difficult to defeat them but since his stamina had been depleted a lot against Huang Zhang, his position had become less favorable.
Zhou Yuan did not wait any longer and headed straight towards Xiao Fan, surprising both the enemy and the red-haired grandfather as Zhou Yuan seemed to appear in void space.
"Senior Xiao, do you seem to need help?"
"No way, you... Aren't you..."
Xiao Fan pointed at Zhou Yuan who this time did not wear a mask. In one look, it turned out that he had instantly recognized Zhou Yuan.
"We can talk later Senior, for now we should take care of them first." Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Fan wanted to be speechless but no sound came out before finally nodding, although he was surprised when he saw Zhou Yuan but what the young man said was true, they should prioritize the urgent first.
"They were the Four Blood Ghosts, criminal brothers who had killed many noble families for decades. I didn't expect them to go into this war." Xiao Fan explained about the four criminals that were before him.
Zhou Yuan stroked his chin, he had heard of the Four Blood Ghosts in one of the missions in the hero guild.
"Senior Xiao, let me handle it. It's gonna go fast."
"Wait, we can do it together. I'm still-..." Before Xiao Fan finished his remark Zhou Yuan had already made a move.
"Element Sword Technique — Flashes of Light!"
Zhou Yuan disappeared from the sight of his opponents, moving very quickly while slashing the sword of Kusanagi at them.
The four Blood Ghosts did not know what had happened when suddenly their gaze darkened. Zhou Yuan appeared shortly after, the four criminal heads of the Light Realm had already separated from his place shortly afterwards.
Zhou Yuan flicked his sword to clear the blood clinging to it, he did not waste this opportunity to finish off the Four Blood Ghosts as they had already made many dizzy reigns for decades.
Xiao Fan took a cold breath, he was surprised by the technique Zhou Yuan had performed. He could barely see the movement of the young man when he killed all four of his enemies..
"He was this strong..." Inner Xiao Fan was still shaken by his soul.
"Senior Xiao, there may be many questions in your mind but we can continue after this war is over..." Zhou Yuan bowed and saluted Xiao Fan. "About Miss Xiao, she is still alive, she is currently training somewhere."
"I already know Yuan'er, thank you for taking care of my grandson." Xiao Fan coughed softly, smiling awkwardly.
Zhou Yuan nodded, "Then we split up here, there's still a lot I have to do on this battle, Senior."
After Zhou Yuan said so he then began to soar and fly up into the sky, a sight that made Xiao Fan and those watching him hold their breath.
Zhou Yuan did not care about the reaction, he then stopped at a height sufficient to see the war situation more clearly.
Thanks to its involvement, now the government forces that should be in a disadvantage so the opposite position.
Gradually the organizational forces began to be suppressed by the government forces. Zhou Yuan could also see Ingrid cutting through the rear of the enemy trying to run.
Zhou Yuan's gaze then turned in one direction, the young man instantly frowned.
Although the distance was quite far away but thanks to his sharp eyes, Zhou Yuan could see it clearly, a middle-aged man who was injured and was now fleeing the war, who was now on the run, that person is the Demon Sword.
Zhou Yuan had almost forgotten about it because he was too busy reducing the number of the organization's troops, Zhou Yuan had no intention of letting the Demon Sword escape, his death would be very influential to the Sky Cloud Temple alliance.
***
The Demon Sword had already tried to run away silently as Zhou Yuan fought Huang Zhang, he was already indifferent to this criminal alliance, at the moment all he thought about was saving himself.
The Demon Sword was already relieved when it had moved away from Zhou Yuan and as it left the battle site, The Demon Sword was confident that he would succeed the lokos before suddenly Zhou Yuan descended from above the sky willingly.
"You know, including the most serious crimes even in the criminal view are those who run away from the war secretly. Have you never heard of it?" Zhou Yuan smiled coldly.
The Demon Sword turned pale, its body could not stop to tremble. "Master, I..."
Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly before raising his sword, "No, you don't need to say anything. There's no need to beg, no need to be clear because now no one can make you happy today."
Zhou Yuan chuckled, he then swung his sword.
