Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 79 — Abilities Behind the Sword
Zhou Yuan understood that to fight against the Hooded Group he had to exert all the abilities and strength he had.
If only there were no Kusanagi Sword in fact Zhou Yuan would not dare to face them at once, even so he was actually unsure of being able to defeat his opponents.
"You already know it..." The Headed Group Leader laughed cynically. "We've been hiding in the martial world for the last fifties but it seems like there are still some people who know us."
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, the words of the Headed Group Leader indirectly admitted that they were indeed from the White Peacock Organization exactly as he had guessed before.
"No need to worry about the like, after all this I will kill you without pain, you can calm down in the afterlife now..."
After saying so the Headed Group Leader signaled to some of its members. The five of them advanced and immediately moved to attack Zhou Yuan simultaneously.
In the short time Zhou Yuan faced off against them, the five warriors attacked Zhou Yuan from various sides, seemingly using special formations to attempt to suppress Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan tried to remain calm in such a siege while withstanding every attack, this was not the first time he had been attacked using a formation like this in his first life.
After observing their attack patterns for some time Zhou Yuan then began to counterattack. He used one of the elemental sword techniques he mastered.
With his agile sword technique Zhou Yuan instantly changed the state of the fight quickly, the five warriors were startled as his attacks were made to slow down even briefly turning into defensive positions.
What astonished them was when suddenly the sounds around them suddenly disappeared, as if they were muffled by something.
Zhou Yuan, the perpetrator, was currently using the Sound Sword Technique to muffle the sound that arose in the face of the five, it made their cooperation become disrupted due to the sudden silence.
The leader of the Hooded Group helplessly frowned, only Linxia understood the circumstances as the girl was familiar with the sword technique Zhou Yuan used.
"How, how can he do it..." Linxia was stammering, feeling disbelief at what was seen before his eyes.
Linxia did not understand, supposedly in the martial world no one could use the Sound Sword Technique except for a few people he recognized.
Not only could Zhou Yuan use the sword techniques of his clan but the man's mastery of the Sound Sword Technique was extremely high, even Linxia had yet to reach an understanding of Zhou Yuan's level.
In a short time Zhou Yuan managed to inflict some injuries on his opponent while the five swordsmen were unable to hurt him back.
The five warriors put on tense faces, their weapons had already clashed several times with Zhou Yuan's swords. The hands of those holding weapons were painful, not only that, the heirloom they used slowly began to fill with fine cracks.
"Chairman, this warrior..."
One of the members standing beside the Head of the Hooded Group was shocked when Zhou Yuan could suppress his comrades.
The leader of the Hooded Group did not panic in fact laugh even to the point of clapping, according to him Zhou Yuan's fight against his subordinates was an interesting spectacle. The leader was clearly not aware of the situation any more clearly.
"Interesting, it's interesting, I want to see to what extent this young man's ability is..."
The leader of the Hooded Group then signaled back, seven of its members broke away and joined in attacking Zhou Yuan. There were now twelve warriors who had attacked Zhou Yuan simultaneously.
The seven newly joined warriors initially thought Zhou Yuan would not survive facing 12 people at once but in reality Zhou Yuan was still able to suppress them.
Zhou Yuan's sword this time was clad in flames followed by his swinging speed which increased significantly. Zhou Yuan used another elemental technique which was the Fire Sword Technique.
Within a short time the two sides clashed against the attack, it seemed as if Zhou Yuan was outperforming the battle situation, making the 12 warriors who attacked him slowly get cornered.
The twelve warriors were almost out of their minds, they really did not have time to strike back because they were too busy to withstand Zhou Yuan's endless sword swings.
The problem was that their hands hurt every time Zhou Yuan's swords clashed with their weapons, the twelve warriors did not expect Zhou Yuan to have this much physical strength.
"Hm, is it just my feelings or the sword technique that the young man performed that feels familiar?"
"Right, I feel the same way. Every time his sword was swung by the fire that enveloped the young man it was getting more ferocious instead of thinning, I did not understand how the fire in his sword worked..."
The members of the Hooded Group who were observing Zhou Yuan's fight were discussing the sword technique the youngster used while his own leader had already faded his smile as Zhou Yuan brought out the flames on his sword.
At first he thought Zhou Yuan was making a type change to increase the power of his attack power but after some time the Headed Group Leader felt that something was wrong with the way the type change Zhou Yuan was doing.
"Don't tell me this sword technique..." The leader of the Hooded Group remembered something.
On the other hand Zhou Yuan then replaced his sword technique with the Water Sword Technique, the back attack pattern was different, not only did he suppress his opponent he even injured 12 warriors at once.
Zhou Yuan exerted a deep force on Kusanagi Sword, suddenly the color of the sword was blacker than before and emitting an aura of darkness.
The body of the Headed Group Leader suddenly goosebumps seeing the change in Zhou Yuan's sword, he wanted to order his men to immediately retreat but his efforts were a little too late.
"Water Sword Technique — Raindrop Slash!"
Zhou Yuan swung his sword until it gave rise to a powerful wind blade.
The eight warriors who were nearby had no time to dodge so they raised their weapons to hold the wind blade but the 8 warriors did not expect the wind blade that Zhou Yuan had released so powerful that the their bodies were pushed a few meters.
The remaining four warriors were still near Zhou Yuan, they were about to jump away from him but Zhou Yuan did not waste the opportunity he had already made.
Zhou Yuan exerted enormous profound energy on Kusanagi Sword making the darkness that enveloped the sword even darker.
Zhou Yuan's next sword swing was so powerful, the four swordsmen tried to hold him back with their heirlooms but the sharp Kusanagi swords could shatter their heirlooms to pieces.
The four warriors could only accept fate when the next swing of the Kusanagi Sword passed through their bodies and split it into two halves.
All of those events happened so quickly, without Zhou Yuan realizing it made everyone in the immediate vicinity sculpt especially the hooded member who took a cold breath.
