Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 124 — Palace VI Attacks
Zhou Yuan's arrival succeeded in making the situation of the palace soldiers at that location so helped.
When the organization's forces focused on attacking Zhou Yuan, they used that time to recuperate.
The palace soldiers were sculpted and frightened when Zhou Yuan finished off his opponents in such a quick and horrible manner.
They did not believe Zhou Yuan could do such a feat when he was so young, certainly the most surprising was Zhou Yuan's high ability.
If not for the fact Zhou Yuan was on the side of the palace soldiers, perhaps they would have considered Zhou Yuan more threatening than the organization's troops.
Zhou Yuan still calmed his breath, after he began to regularly return to prepare to attack the organization's forces.
The massacre he had committed on them did not scare the organization's army, instead they were more and more eager to kill Zhou Yuan.
The organization's forces immediately attacked Zhou Yuan from various directions without letting him rest, they believed that the power in Zhou Yuan had been drained a lot after using such a large force.
It was not wrong, the power within Zhou Yuan had indeed reduced by quite a lot. As the organization troops moved towards him, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to greet them.
The Kusanagi sword again took the life of the organization's troops, no matter the opponent used a certain protective suit or defense technique, the Kusanagi sword could penetrate and injure his opponent.
Seeing Zhou Yuan being attacked on various sides by dozens of enemies, the palace warriors felt unable to stay still, they started moving to help Zhou Yuan.
The help of the palace soldiers made Zhou Yuan's situation better, he poured power in his sword and began to finish off the enemy troops.
Although the organization's forces were still more numerous than the number of palace soldiers, but with Zhou Yuan's help they were quickly able to suppress the organization's forces.
The situation quickly changed, Zhou Yuan along with the soldiers started to turn things around.
Zhou Yuan with Kusanagi Sword was like a devouring dark monster in front of him. Almost all of his opponents who were in the Golden Realm or the Silver Realm died in a single strike.
It made a horror for those who saw it, every step Zhou Yuan made a trail of blood.
Within minutes of Zhou Yuan's side already having the upper hand, the organization troops who realized the number had stayed a few more finally chose to flee.
The palace soldiers were about to chase after them but Zhou Yuan held him back. "No need to teach them, it is better to focus on recovering your wounds first, this attack is still going on..."
The palace soldiers glanced at each other before nodding, they also suffered some injuries that had to be stopped bleeding with deep exertion.
There were at least about 40 soldiers that Zhou Yuan had saved. Zhou Yuan asked one of the soldiers to explain the situation of the attack more specifically.
From that soldier, Zhou Yuan's guess was true that this attack came from the Sky Cloud Temple Organization. They attacked the palace while a big gathering was going on.
The Sky Cloud Temple organization brought along organizations that were in its alliance such as White Peacock and Eternal Snow, they also brought other small organizations that joined forces to attack the palace.
"If they dare to attack when many martial arts world heroes gather here means they have the confidence to conquer the palace..." Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance, he did not know what the strength of the Sky Cloud Temple Organization was as big as yet for sure its strength would be very troublesome.
In retrospect, the existence of black pills that made their strength increase significantly in a short time was enough to make the palace troops difficult to face the enemy forces.
"We have to save the people who are here like the ladies and eunuchs to a safer place. Saving people is more important to prioritize now..."
The soldiers nodded, because the palace attack was too sudden there were many eunuchs and maids who were late in hiding.
Some of the soldiers then went to disperse while others followed Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan went to the highest place, the palace tower in the middle of the imperial residence, when he climbed up, Zhou Yuan could see the entire attack on the imperial palace.
Despite having a large spacious residence, Zhou Yuan's sharp eyes could still see the situation of the battle that was going on clearly.
"It's..."
Zhou Yuan took a cold breath, the battle he saw above the tower was far more terrifying than he thought.
The warfare on the outside of the palace, especially in the gate area was much larger, there were hundreds of people there who fought between the organizational forces and soldiers.
Zhou Yuan could see not just at one point of the gate but another great battle was fought at the other four gates. The organization's forces attempted to enter the interior of the palace while the soldiers tried to prevent it.
Even though Zhou Yuan had only seen that person for the first time but he had an idea of him let alone the light element technique he used.
"Guo Zhengxa? So their chief intervened in this assault..." Zhou Yuan was quite surprised to see him.
Guo Zhengxa is quite famous in the martial world especially when his involvement in the war a hundred years ago.
The light element he used was a rare elemental technique in the martial world, it could even be said that only Guo Zhengxa could make changes in the type of light.
Zhou Yuan then turned his gaze in the other direction, instantly his body fell silent at the swordsman Xiao Fan was fighting against.
The swordsman had a sword skill that was not much different from Xiao Fan, but what made Zhou Yuan dumbstruck when he saw it was the condition of the swordsman who only had one hand.
Even if Zhou Yuan could remotely recognize the swordsman, Zhou Yuan could not possibly forget his face because the swordsman was the same person who had killed him in his first life.
"Don Zhang..." Zhou Yuan clenched his hands hard, anger began to envelop his heart upon seeing the old man.
***
Xiao Fan went to the south gate of the palace, finding that the palace soldiers had already fought big battles there.
Xiao Fan could not wait any longer, he whipped out the sword at his waist and took part in the fight.
Xiao Fan's arrival quickly realized let alone the red-haired man's sword ability that was so high and easily defeated his opponents.
The organization troops began to attempt to attack Xiao Fan by encircling him.
"Want to beat me by numbers, it won't be that easy..." Xiao Fan exerted a deep force on his sword and started using the water sword technique.
Zhou Yuan's swordplay changed like flowing water, his body was so pliable and had a sword agility that was hard to predict.
With his technique Xiao Fan managed to finish off several enemy troops, existence became the center of attention because of the technique he did.
"This sword technique, it's unmistakable that he is a sword technique belonging to the Xiao clan?!"
"Klan Xiao's? Means there is only one who has this high sword skill, Red Sword swordsman Xiao Fan."
The organization army and the palace warriors only realized Xiao Fan's true identity after seeing his swordplay.
The palace warriors clucked in awe as they felt lucky to be able to see Xiao Fan's abilities directly.
Xiao Fan continued to face his opponents until finally someone appeared and deflected his sword easily. Xiao Fan's eyes widened as he recognized the swordsman.
"I won't let you act as you like Fan." Huang Zhang smiled widely.
"You still don't want to retire after losing one hand?!" Xiao Fan grunted softly. "Maybe I have to break off your other hand for you to wake up."
"You can try it if you can."
Huang Zhang and Xiao Fan moved in unison and exchanged attacks, both of them fighting to dozens of moves until both of them took their respective distances.
Xiao Fan's expression felt tense. "You, how can it be?!"
Xiao Fan did not hide the shock on his face knowing Huang Zhang had a sword technique that could compensate for the Water Sword Technique.
"This is just the beginning, I still have a lot of skills to beat your water technique..."
Xiao Fan snorted. "You don't know anything, now my swordplay has improved compared to what it used to be..."
"Oh, then I want to see it."
Xiao Fan and Huang Zhang returned to fight, Xiao Fan used the Water Sword Technique while Huang Zhang used the sword style of his creation.
