Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 217 — Skull Mountain VII
Zhou Yuan was surprised by the needle that Lin Ran released, if only his sense of sight was not improved he might not realize the thin needle was moving on him.
Zhou Yuan immediately raised his sword to hold the thin needle, the same needle immediately shattered when it hit a hard object like a sword.
'He has a dangerous weapon like this?!'
Zhou Yuan was surprised by Lin Ran's secret weapon, he was sure that even if the needle was non-toxic even if it remained deadly and was able to kill people with the sharpness of the needle.
Lin Ran fired another thin needle again but this time the number was much more.
Zhou Yuan did not want to risk welcoming the attack, he gathered energy in his mouth and made a change in the type of fire.
"Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
Zhou Yuan released a fierce blaze in his mouth, the color of the fire was not as usual but blue.
When the thin needles hit Zhou Yuan's flames, they immediately melted and disappeared in the air.
Lin Ran's eyes widened, the blue fire technique Zhou Yuan used reminded him of someone he knew.
"You! Who are you really?!" Lin Ran couldn't possibly be wrong looking, Zhou Yuan's blue fire technique was exactly the same as Jiang Qisha when using it.
Only one family in the martial world had the blue fire element that was the Jiang Imperial Family.
Zhou Yuan did not reply, after spitting out enough flames in his mouth he immediately moved to narrow the distance between the two.
"Miss Lin, we can't beat him alone, we have to work together." Lian Zhenghua who had recovered some of her condition, walked over to Lin Ran who was still shocked.
"I actually have a secret plan, but I need your help, Chairman Lian." Lin Ran looked at Zhou Yuan who was constantly moving towards him at high speed. He was now convinced Zhou Yuan was not as young as he seemed.
Lian Zhenghua nodded then glanced at the surrounding Skull Mountain members who had been just watching. He then instructed them to attack Zhou Yuan.
The Skull Mountain members gulped at the order, they were already quite afraid of Zhou Yuan's strength let alone that young man exuding a murderous aura that was no less dense than its leader.
Even though they were terrified in fact no one was brave enough to refuse Lian Zhenghua's orders, immediately hundreds of Skull Mountain Members invaded Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan frowned as his movement to approach Lin Ran was blocked by the forces of Skull Mountain.
"I don't think you're so cruel as to sacrifice so many people just for your sake..." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly.
Zhou Yuan realized Lin Ran and Lian Zhenghua were doing a plan and the army of Skull Mountain members only used it as a stall.
Zhou Yuan exerted a deep energy on the kusanagi sword, large enough that it now emitted a dark aura.
Without a second thought Zhou Yuan swung his sword towards the hundreds of Skull Mountain Members, in a single slash, three of them died instantly on the spot.
Regardless of the level of his enemies or the protective heirloom they were wearing, Zhou Yuan was still able to finish them off in one hit.
In a relatively short period of time, Zhou Yuan had already finished off dozens of them. The action of the Skull Mountain Members who relied on the real amount was not enough to suppress the young man let alone to get him killed.
Zhou Yuan with a cold expression continued to slaughter them, the sword Kusanagi so sharp it almost finished them off with an incomplete body.
Despite being a trained assassin, even Lian Zhenghua still had a hint of hesitation when killing others, now before his eyes, Zhou Yuan was so terrifying when massacring the members of Skull Mountain with no expression whatsoever.
"Miss Lin, we follow your plan, I will attack him first, now I can't let that young man finish off all my members!"
After saying so, Lian Zhenghua immediately moved towards the slaughter of Zhou Yuan and left Lin Ran who was now in the middle of pecking at his place standing.
Lin Ran held his breath with Zhou Yuan's actions in eliminating his enemies, even among criminals there were not many who could do like that young man.
Lian Zhenghua was already near Zhou Yuan when the young man was finishing off the other members of the Mountain Organization. Not wasting any time, he swung his two swords towards the young man.
"Oh, I thought you'd wait for all your members to be killed first, but you were afraid of losing them too..." Zhou Yuan smiled cynically.
"Evening so many people to fight against you only becomes futility, only I can match you!" Lian Zhenghua snorted in annoyance as she gave her members instructions to keep their distance from Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan and Lian Zhenghua again exchanged attacks but one thing was beyond Zhenghua's expectations, this time Zhou Yuan used his true strength.
Lian Zhenghua only gave out a dozen attacks before finally the position turned into a defensive one, Zhou Yuan's swordplay immediately urged him to even slowly start to injure him.
Lian Zhenghua's heart beat faster, looking at Zhou Yuan's ability which the old man now realized was no match for.
"Element Sword Technique — River Flow Art!"
Zhou Yuan changed his attack pattern from a swing to dozens of extremely fast sword stabs.
Zhenghua was unprepared for the change in attack patterns, let alone Zhou Yuan's sword speed was now hard to read by him.
In the short period of time Zhou Yuan managed to inflict serious injuries on Zhenghua to the point of having numerous stabs in his body, fresh blood started flowing in the puncture wound.
Realizing his life was threatened, Zhenghua began to ask for help. "Miss Lin, what are you waiting for, quickly help me!"
Zhenghua shouted loudly until he finally realized Lin Ran who was supposed to help him had already turned around and started running away.
Zhou Yuan chuckled to see this. "You seem to be in big trouble..."
Zhenghua cursed repeatedly in his heart, not expecting it to end this way while Zhou Yuan took the opportunity by continuously swinging his sword and injuring Lian Zhenghua's body more seriously.
Lian Zhenghua's breathing was disjointed, drained of a lot of blood made her gaze blurred on the plus she had already reached her stamina limit.
Lian Zhenghua realized shouting or swearing would not change anything, he saw Zhou Yuan last time who had now raised his sword to finish him off.
"At least tell me your name?"
Zhou Yuan let out a cold snort, "No, you don't deserve to die quietly!"
Zhou Yuan then swung his sword and this time the leader of the Skull Mountain Organization was unable to avoid it, a wide wound was engraved from his shoulder to his waist.
Zhenghua was drained of blood until finally the old man breathed his last, until at the end of his life Lian Zhenghua clearly still did not accept his death would end tragically like this.
Zhou Yuan then turned his head towards Lin Ran who was now far away from him before Zhou Yuan used his elemental sword style. "Element Sword Technique — Darkness World Destroyer!"
