The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 64 - Inhuman cultivation.

Before her, a full moon was showing all over her face, at the gate of the Dong Chu pavilion ten soldiers who were ordered to guard the Zhi Yuan family were talking about the year-end celebration that the entire country would celebrate in a few days, but suddenly hundreds of soldiers were already in front of that gate, on the west side of the archer troops jumped up the wall and followed it to the roof of the pavilion building, without causing the slightest sound.

"who are you?" shouted one of the 10 soldiers standing in front of the gate while approaching a giant-like warrior.

"bammm.." without warning the giant soldier hit the soldier who approached him, and, and that body that instantly lost its life was thrown smashing into the gate making an explosion that woke up every inhabitant of the Dong Chu pavilion.

Without any difficulty the soldier slaughtered the 9 royal warriors mercilessly, and they began to rush in, the 118 loyal followers of Zhi Yuan were so overwhelmed that the attack was completely absent in their minds.

in the front building Zhi Yuan had already heard explosions and the sound of metal clashing.

"Sister Zhou what is this all about?" zhi Yuan asked in a hoarse voice, now his forehead was slightly wrinkled to endure the pain.

"Although I am poisoned, and you have the sword of God, but I am no longer the Zhi Yuan who was in the sect just yet, you are by no means a worthy opponent for me" Zhi Yuan said.

Xu Guang Zhou looked at Zhi Yuan blankly, and began to smile, and realized all the condescending remarks of the young man were correct, he said, his self who obtained all the facilities and resources of the sect was only able to reach in the realm of a tier 1 expert swordsman, an achievement so great, he said, but there was nothing compared to Zhi Yuan's achievement.

"You're right, Elder Zhang, the ferocious battleground has already forged you into a demon, your cultivation development is inhuman, your ability to slaughter is indisputable, not even a 21-year-old is already in the realm of king cultivators, and being a Gifted Young General, you are not overtaken by anyone, but brother Zhi, I still have a chance, so I say goodbye," Xu Guang Zhou said as he closed his eyes deeply, gathering qi energy in his right palm.

"blarrr.." Xu Guang Zhou's palm struck the wooden floor before him sitting down, the qi energy crashing from his palm made the short-legged table partially lifted and covered the view from his second face.

"czriying......"

The sound of the sword being uprooted and the sword was a heavenly level heirloom sword, the Sun Sword pierced through the table right at Zhi Yuan's neck, however Zhi Yuan was so calm and only tilted his head slightly that Xu Guang Zhou's sword slipped from his neck, the sword whose initial position was aimed vertically spinning so that it formed a horizontal position and moving would slash at Zhi Yuan's long neck.

Zhi Yuan lowered his head lowly, and the sword passed through his head and cut off a bit of Zhi Yuan's long hair, he said, the young man who was so scared at the east gate released his palm towards the table in front of him and simultaneously smashed the short-legged table.

Xu Guang Zhou felt his slash go unnoticed, and learned of the counterattack from Zhi Yuan and took out his left palm with full force.

"Blaarrr.." the table was scattered in accompaniment by a flying haircut, Xu Guang Zhou was able to hold Zhi Yuan's palm using his palm as well, Xu Guang Zhou was able to hold back Zhi Yuan's palm using his palm as well, but the heirloom sword-owning youth was thrown several meters away, into a corner of the room.

Xu Guang Zhou, who was in a crawling position now stood up and looked at Zhi Yuan's movements.

"Stopping the poison from getting out of the stomach, it won't last long, even if it's just a little but your blood has been mixed with poison, you're just waiting for time, you're just waiting, if I were you I wouldn't expend qi energy, the more you expend energy the faster you die" Xu Guang Zhou said.

"uhukkkkk.. preess.". "black blood gushed from Zhi Yuan's lips making his lips redder, his eyes looked at Xu Guang Zhou in disbelief.

"Sister Zhou you're a true swordsman, why do you have to do this shameful thing? I didn't expect you to be this desperate" said Zhi Yuan.

Xu Guang Zhou diverted the qi energy to his heirloom sword, but the internal injuries from the tread chime with Zhi Yuan kept him from taking any risks, and reinserted his sword.

"True rider? hahaha... You don't make me laugh, brother Zhi why do you have to come to the East gate? make it impenetrable," said Xu Guang Zhou.

"ahhhh... Betrayal, are you a traitor? since when?" murmured Zhi Yuan his eyeballs moved to the left as if he was remembering something.

Although in such an urgent time, but the young man's mind was able to recall the moment they first met.

"You and big brother Ling always mentioned the word mission, so from the start you weren't a citizen of the Yuan Kingdom? Brother Zhou, why don't you just say it, you know for yourself I don't know loyalty to this Kingdom, if you want, I won't go back to that old forest" said Zhi Yuan.

"Your conclusion is always right, and I also know you don't have a hero's soul, you fight just following orders to finish off enemy troops without knowing the reason, and you do very well, he said, but I have another reason why I want your sister Zhi dead, you are an endless wall to my women, why the woman I like should be so crazy about you, you are a man who has no feelings, even when you dump them, they seem indifferent and always loyal to your side, even they never look at me even a little bit, they are good to me because they think I am your foster brother," shouted Xu Guang Zhou, taking out all the shreds he had been hiding all along.

Zhi Yuan closed his eyes smiling lips as he shook his head, looking bloodstains on the young man's teeth.

"Is this a joke? you killed me just because of women? are you really a 23-year-old man? Xu Guang Zhou this time I can't accept it, you've ruined the reason why I got killed, if it's the day of my death tonight, the reason this trash of yours will make my death never calm for long" said Zhi Yuan, who for the first time was visibly angry before Xu Guang Zhou, and the young man started to draw his sword.

"Alright sister Zhi all I've said, I know I'm so childish, but like it or not that's the reality, I'll leave you now, I'll leave you now, we've been together from childhood and I don't want to see your stiff body, and as for Miss Zhang and Grand Miss Wu you don't worry that I will take care of those women dozens of times better than you," Xu Guang Zhou said and stood ready to leave the room.

Outside of the increasingly fierce battle, flames started to flare in various places where several arrows had re-pierced through the paper walls of Zhi Yuan's room, Xu Guang Zhou slightly moved his body to avoid the indiscriminate arrows, but not with Zhi Yuan, the young man simply put down his sword to cover his vital area alone and let a few arrows pierce through his thick robes, a sense of disappointment and the calculations of life for his small, little one, makes him not care much anymore.

"Wait for Xu Guang Zhou, do you think I will die with this poison of yours?" asked Zhi Yuan who had now pointed his sword towards Xu Guang Zhou.
