Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 19 — Ability Zhou Yuan
Zhou Yuan watched as the masked swordsman died in his hands but he felt that there was something odd about his emotions.
There should have been a feeling of guilt or fear when he took the lives of others but now that feeling was not in Zhou Yuan's heart.
Zhou Yuan's feelings remained stable and calm as if he had done nothing great, whereas in his first life he sometimes hesitated to kill someone.
That emotion seemed lost in Zhou Yuan's heart, although after killing the look in his eyes still displayed clarity.
Zhou Yuan did not have time to think about his feelings of sadness which he thought were unnatural, he looked at his six opponents who were now looking at him in shock.
The remaining six masked warriors were indeed fixated with Zhou Yuan's sudden action, they had absolutely no idea that Zhou Yuan could kill his comrade in such a short period of time.
"He's no ordinary boy, we finish him off first!" Excite one of them.
The six masked warriors began to draw their respective weapons, preparing to attack Zhou Yuan together.
Their pride clearly felt trampled when it came to fighting a boy yet they had no other choice after seeing their comrade being killed in seconds by the boy.
Zhou Yuan's attention on the other hand was focused in the other direction, he felt the presence of other people increasingly heading here. Zhou Yuan then turned his head towards Xiao Rou.
"Rou'er, I'll handle them here, go see my parents and report any intruders around here!"
Zhou Yuan had actually realized Xiao Rou was being frightened when he killed the masked swordsman before, let alone the spot of blood coming out from the corpse.
The girl obviously first saw blood like this but Zhou Yuan did not have time to calm down Xiao Rou's emotions.
"Teacher, i..." Xiao Rou felt his body go limp and also tremble, everything he saw now was too sudden.
Zhou Yuan wanted to say more words but the six masked warriors earlier had already moved towards him. Zhou Yuan had no other choice but to go ahead and fight them all.
Despite not using any weapons, Zhou Yuan was able to fight against the six masked warriors with his bare-handed science.
Zhou Yuan used the Sky Ruler Kick technique to deal with them, with his kick Zhou Yuan managed to make his opponents hassles.
"This boy..."
The six masked warriors cursed when they found out that Zhou Yuan had high skills.
They did not expect to see Zhou Yuan's talented son at the noble's residence. Zhou Yuan's talent had never been seen in the martial world at all.
Zhou Yuan then began to exert a deep force on his feet, his speed and attack power increasing several times.
Although his opponent used a weapon yet they did not have time to swing it, when Zhou Yuan raised his level, the six masked warriors were no match for him anymore.
One by one Zhou Yuan's kicks hit the masked swordsman's body, each swing of his legs very strong and fast and coated in power.
Zhou Yuan aimed every kick at the vital part, although his legs were still short for a 10-year-old but he could maximize his kick to all areas of the opponent's body.
One by one the masked swordsmen were thrown when Zhou Yuan's kick hit their bodies in a landslide. Almost all of those affected immediately stopped breathing with serious fractures.
"Rou'er, can you move?" After Zhou Yuan finished off the six masked warriors he then walked towards Xiao Rou who was still watching him in silence.
Zhou Yuan's words resuscitated the girl, he took a deep breath before then nodded slowly. Xiao Rou was already feeling a little calm now even though his heart was pounding fast.
"Rou'er, the Zhou Family residence is not safe now, go and meet my parents, they will protect you here."
"Teacher, then what about you?"
"I'm..."
Zhou Yuan wanted to convey his words but he felt the presence of the masked people getting closer and closer. They moved silently but Zhou Yuan remained aware of it.
"Rou'er, I don't have much time to explain, for now get the hell out of here!"
Xiao Rou gulped before finally complying. "Teacher, I'll be waiting for you after all this..." Afterwards, Xiao Rou immediately ran away leaving Zhou Yuan as quickly as possible.
Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Rou's body from a distance until his shadow disappeared, he then jumped into the tallest building to take a clearer look at the masked warriors.
The masked group continued to enter the Zhou residence, they moved on the roofs of the buildings secretly.
'They were obviously a group of assassins hired to finish Rou'er off, but why would they have to deploy this many members?'
After fighting with the masked swordsman earlier Zhou Yuan learns that they are a group of assassins.
What Zhou Yuan was surprised by was how the group of assassins had to use this amount to kill a little girl.
"Didn't they want to attack the Zhou Family as a whole?" The Conjecture of Zhou Yuan.
Regardless of the thoughts that flashed through his mind, Zhou Yuan realized their group had no good intentions of coming here.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath before shouting out loud. "PLEASE HAVE INTRUDERS!"
Zhou Yuan's cry was overlaid in making the range of his voice heard throughout the Zhou residence, he also shouted repeatedly so that those who heard him could wake up or be disturbed in the middle of the late night.
Zhou Yuan's shout managed to keep the people in the Zhou family awake, but on the other hand the masked swordsman who infiltrated was secretly shocked and instantly realized Zhou Yuan's whereabouts due to his shout.
"Stop that boy, don't let him scream at will!" One of the masked swordsmen who was the Elder of the Night Bats pointed at Zhou Yuan furiously.
He had already been given the order to sneak infiltrate from Ling Yun but not expecting yet a minute they had infiltrated, his group had already been caught by someone.
Although they were ready to fight openly but the assassins still wanted this task done secretly, because they knew that if the Zhou Family were all awakened, there would be casualties on the side of the group as well.
The dozens of Night Bats assassins then immediately broke away and headed towards Zhou Yuan who still continued to shout.
Zhou Yuan smiled widely before turning around and landing his feet on the ground, he picked up the sword in one of the masked swordsmen he had killed earlier.
Seeing that the swordsman who approached him was a Bronze Realm swordsman, Zhou Yuan chose to fight them.
Zhou Yuan took the initiative to attack them first using his sword, they looked surprised by his actions thinking Zhou Yuan should have run instead of approaching.
