Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 45 — Toxic Needles
Zhou Yuan took his breath to calm his heart and mind, thanks to his experience in the first life, Zhou Yuan was able to stabilize his calmness quickly.
Zhou Yuan squinted at the uniform worn by masked men who had infiltrated the mayor's residence.
As he remembered there was one group that had a blue uniform with such a thick material, a moment later Zhou Yuan broke out in cold sweat when recognizing him.
"Mistakeless, they are from the Eternal Snow organization!" Zhou Yuan would not forget the uniform of the organization, the uniform that a hundred years ago caused chaos in the martial world.
"So the Eternal Snow organization has indeed returned and they are now attacking Hana City..." Zhou Yuan clenched his hands hard.
Although Zhou Yuan had already guessed this while with Grandpa Jiang but still he felt annoyed when his guess came true.
If his current abilities and strength allowed Zhou Yuan not to hesitate to look for trouble with them but with his current self, Zhou Yuan's ability was still not enough.
Actually sooner or later Zhou Yuan would deal with the Eternal Snow Organization in this second life, if they did not look for trouble with him then he would be the one to look for trouble with them.
With regards to Zhou Yuan's grudge in his first life, the Eternal Snow was a great organization both then and now, their strength could not be juxtaposed with the Night Bats Group.
Although a hundred years had passed and they had undergone many changes, Zhou was sure they must have known or even befriended the organization that had killed him.
"The Sky Cloud Temple organization, they must know where the organization is now..." Zhou Yuan clenched his teeth, on one hand this was a hint opportunity for him.
The organization that Zhou Yuan mentioned was the organization that had killed him in his first life. Zhou Yuan hated the organization so much even though he had incarnated.
The reason Zhou Yuan practiced every day was because he wanted to eliminate the Sky Cloud Temple Organization, that organization was as powerful as the Eternal Snow Organization could even be more.
The present Zhou Yuan was indeed too weak compared to his former strength, he was also actually not sure that he could eliminate the organization let alone a hundred years pass, the organization might become even stronger.
The only thing inside Zhou Yuan now was a determination, a determination to avenge his revenge on the organization of the Sky Cloud Temple that had dared to take his life.

A minute passed, the longer more members of the Eternal Snow walked into the Mayor's residence.
The guests who had not drunk the poison had already been startled by their fallen friend or brother, they were shocked the second time when the members of Eternal Snow started to arrive at the wedding in an unusual appearance and manner.
The government guards guarding the residence had already taken out their weapons when the Eternal Snow members were seen, the bodyguards were aware, there was a group of intruders who were storming the mayor's residence.
The mayor's residence is fortunately very spacious, it also has a bodyguard of about five hundred more who are all warriors.
With the current situation, the number of mayor guards was indeed more than the members of Eternal Snow who attacked but the number of bodyguards currently in the mayor's residence was only around two hundred people.
The city of Hana is very large, if they ask for help to gather all the guards even though, the mayor's residence is already flat on the ground before they gather.
Not to mention that the organization had an edge in poison arts, killing its opponent in a single strike was not a difficult matter.
Seeing that there were some guests who were still on guard, the Eternal Snow members directly attacked them with their weapons in the form of needles that were fired on the sidelines of fingers.
The needle is not too deadly to injure a swordsman or an ordinary person but the point of use lies in the poison in the needle.
The poison in the needle was the same as the poison contained in the tea, the poison from the ice snake.
When the immortal Snow members shot out their needles, instantly the remaining invited guests began to fall. Their eyes were not fast enough to see the tiny needle plus the dark night sky made them fall to the ground without any significant resistance.
The poison reacts faster than the poison in the tea. When the guests hit it, the poison immediately worked and made them sleepy heavily. The same poison put them to sleep until the poison reacted to kill them.
Not only did the guests of the Eternal Snow members also attack the bodyguards, only that they could not attack him in a single strike because the bodyguards were trained warriors.
The bodyguards were certainly not silent, he immediately fended off every needle that was pointing at him. It's just that even though they dodged it or fended it off there was still a single needle that escaped from their eyes and stuck it in his body.
In the end one by one the government guards began to fall, the Eternal Snow members so quickly subverted them before the guards called for help from the others.
Zhou Yuan who witnessed this immediately realized the motive of attacking the Eternal Snow organization, "Seeing them attack without letting his opponent shout, surely the Eternal Snow organization wants to seize control of this city secretly..."
Fortunately, although the venom of the ice snake is deadly, it takes a long time to spread before it kills its victims. It would take at least three days for the ice snake venom to work and kill someone.
A needle suddenly darted towards Zhou Yuan, it was indeed small and moved quickly only that Zhou Yuan's eyes could swiftly see it clearly.
With a slight movement of his body, Zhou Yuan let the needle pass through him until it stuck to the ground.
The Eternal Snow Member who threw the needle at Zhou Yuan was a little surprised to see it but he did not stop throwing another needle as he thought Zhou Yuan could avoid it by chance.
In fact, the needles he threw were still nothing about Zhou Yuan, not even Zhou Yuan moved a bit from where he was.
"Who is that young man, how can he see the speed of our needles?" One of the Eternal Snow members who saw it as if they could not believe his attack had completely missed.
"This is not the time we are amazed or wondering, focus on the mission and immediately finish off the young man..."
There were seven Eternal Snow members who were now moving towards Zhou Yuan, they threw the poisonous needles again but times more than before, with that amount Zhou Yuan could not possibly dodge.
"Want to poison me with your toys like this, your dreams go too far..." Zhou Yuan snorted before turning the table nearby, making the needle that led to him immediately get stuck there.
Zhou Yuan did not avoid the needle but that did not mean he could not block it. The action left the seven members of Eternal Snow shocked at once stunned.
