Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 234 — Overcoming Opponents
Zhou Yuan's action of splitting the bodies of his 5 men in a single slash made the Red Scorpion Leader take a cold breath, he sure could not do as Zhou Yuan did, before he reacted Zhou Yuan had already killed his other men.
Now that Zhou Yuan's speed of killing Red Scorpion members was increasing faster than before, almost every swing of his machete would take two to three lives.
On the other hand while Zhou Yuan was being preoccupied, the three hundred members who were ordered to capture Xi Jinxue started moving.
Zhou Yuan who noticed their movements suddenly disappeared in the encirclement of his opponent and then appeared right before the three hundred members.
"Where do you want to go, no one can get out of here!"
The members who were about to catch Xi Jinxue were surprised instead of playing when Zhou Yuan appeared before them all of a sudden, yet they reacted Zhou Yuan had already swung his machete which created waves of energy.
The energy waves that Zhou Yuan released contained a great inner power, the ten people who could not dodge those energy waves tried to restrain him with their weapons but Zhou Yuan's waves managed to pass through and cut through their bodies like tofu.
The remaining Red Scorpion members immediately moved back, fear evident on their faces after seeing the terrifying scene.
"Damn! He was a high-level Light Realm swordsman!?" The leader of the Red Scorpion gulped and broke out in cold sweat when he realized Zhou Yuan's true abilities.
"What are you waiting for! He's your own hundreds, attack him at the same time!"
The leader of the Red Scorpion saw his men starting to get scared so called back to resuscitate them all.
The leader of the Red Scorpion was still confident that even Zhou Yuan was strong but he would not be able to face hundreds of his men.
The Red Scorpion members became hesitant and did not move immediately, although Zhou Yuan had only appeared for a few minutes and confronted all of them but the young man had already finished off dozens of them, almost all died in terrible circumstances.
Seeing that his opponent was not attacking anymore, Zhou Yuan this time became the first to move forward. "Don't want to attack, then let me do it!"
Zhou Yuan again swung his machete, he moved agilely and finished off every member of the Red Scorpion who was within his attack range.
The number of casualties grew as Zhou Yuan continued to finish them off in every second.
The Red Scorpion members tried to put up a fight but none of them managed to injure Zhou Yuan, instead the young man just got more violent killing them one by one.
The inner power shields that flowed on their bodies felt futile as Zhou Yuan was able to split his opponent's body in one hit.
The machete weapon Zhou Yuan was holding might be an ordinary weapon but when it was in his hands, the machete became a deadly weapon.
Seeing its members continuously being slaughtered, the Red Scorpion Leader did not wait for any more time and directly turned around to save himself.
Now that he was aware that even hundreds of his men would not defeat Zhou Yuan much less to kill him, instead, the young man could finish them all off at any time.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the blurry action of the Red Scorpion Leader before smiling sinisterly.
"Where are you going, there's no way home for you." After saying so Zhou Yuan then released his murderous aura.
When someone takes out a warrior who has a murderous aura, the aura will be transferred to the person who killed him, as a result the aura of the killer Zhou Yuan doubled to three times the depth of before.
Zhou Yuan's murderous aura made the nearby Red Scorpion members sculpt as well as breathing difficulties, their body temperature decreased and their knees suddenly felt limp.
Zhou Yuan did not directly finish off nearby opponents but instead teleported and appeared right before the Red Scorpion Leader.
"What about bi-..."
Before the Red Scorpion Leader finished his sentence Zhou Yuan had already first swung his machete, leaving the head of the organization's leader separated from his place.
Zhou Yuan's actions made the Red Scorpion members who witnessed it become even more frightened, seeing their powerful leader being decapitated so easily clearly leave a trauma in their minds.
The Red Scorpion members were intent on giving up and asking for forgiveness but after seeing Zhou Yuan have a murderous aura, they realized the young man was more dangerous than them though.
Without waiting any longer the hundreds of Red Scorpion members started to flee in various directions, no one was crazy enough to face someone who already had a murderous aura.
"Hm, there's no harm in me reducing the strength of the Sky Cloud Temple alliance now..." Zhou Yuan realized his opponent was starting to run away, he had no intention of letting any of them escape from him.
Zhou Yuan started to quickly chase after them, the machete in his hand swung back and finished off the existing Red Scorpion members, in one slash then there was one life that was lost.
***
"It should be the last..." Zhou Yuan swung his machete to clear the blood attached, the six hundred Red Scorpion members had now been successfully finished off by him.
The Red Scorpion members might be trying to run as fast as they could but compared to Zhou Yuan's agile pace, their hazy efforts felt futile as Zhou Yuan was able to quickly catch up to him.
Zhou Yuan finished off his opponent as easily as turning his palm, making his running speed not decrease when chasing them one by one.
Zhou Yuan then looked at the surroundings which had now scattered many corpses everywhere. Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly. "It will take me a long time to bury them all."
The bodies of Red Scorpion members scattered in the forest will be dangerous if left alone, they can cause disease outbreaks in animals that live in this forest.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, having no choice he had to do something to the corpse.
"Elemental Earth — Lacing Earth Destroyer!"
Zhou Yuan poured a huge amount of deep energy into his hand before hitting the ground forcefully. Not long after the ground around Zhou Yuan started shaking violently like an earthquake was going on, the ground started to experience a huge rift and rapidly scattered into the surroundings.
The bodies of the Red Scorpions began to fall towards the earth's cracks, after the bodies sank all underground Zhou Yuan then punched the ground back, the cracks began to shrink before finally disappearing, Zhou Yuan then punched the ground again, the land was back to being flat as before.
Zhou Yuan moved towards different locations and did the same thing, so within minutes the bodies of the Red Scorpions were already buried underground.
After feeling that everything was done, Zhou Yuan then returned to where Xi Jinxue was.
