Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 250 — Appearance Opponent
When Zhou Yuan's distance to the Ghost Sword stayed a few meters away, suddenly from the back appeared someone while unsheathing the sword towards Zhou Yuan's back.
Zhou Yuan did not turn his head and let the man stick his sword, when the sword touched his body, it did not pierce but was restrained like touching a hard object.
The person who attacked Zhou Yuan was shocked because the sword that had been fed by his profound energy did not manage to pierce his skin.
Before he took the distance, Zhou Yuan had already raised his legs and gave a kick towards the person's stomach.
The person who attacked Zhou Yuan was instantly thrown quite a distance away with a few broken ribs, fresh blood appearing at the corner of his lips.
"I thought you weren't the only criminal who came here, were you?" Zhou Yuan smiled at the Ghost Sword.
The attention of Ghost Sword was not directed at Zhou Yuan at all but someone who was kicked before.
The one who attacked Zhou Yuan's back was the Light Realm swordsman whose strength was not far from the Ghost Sword but the young man in one go direct attack left him with quite serious internal injuries.
"Executor, I admit you have high strength but I hope you don't feel arrogant."
Two warriors landed before the Ghost Sword, they wore all-red robes carrying weapons such as sickles and cleaver.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes at the two red-clothed warriors, he seemed to have seen the two of them but somehow when and where.
"Hm, you're not too foreign, if my guess isn't wrong aren't you the famous Twin Demon?" Guess Zhou Yuan.
The two red-clothed warriors laughed gigglingly, "I didn't think we were instantly recognizable even though we've been in hiding for decades, I must admit I'm flattered."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, seeing them acknowledge the identity of the Twin Demons he was referring to made Zhou Yuan slightly understand the situation.
The Twin Demons were two criminals who lived for a long time like the Ghost Sword, both of whom were high-level Light Realm warriors although their strength was not as strong as the Ghost Sword.
The Twin Demons had almost the same reputation, both of them had done a lot of evil in many places, not only killing, they also often stole a lot of the property of the nobles.
Broadly speaking, the Twin Demons usually kill for money or resources, other than because of these two things they will not make a crime.
Zhou Yuan glanced around and only realized that there were already many criminals gathered to watch him fight with the Ghost Sword.
'This is more than I thought...' Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly while looking at his surroundings.
The reason Zhou Yuan made a fuss and became the center of attention by fighting alongside the Ghost Sword was because he wanted to lure the criminal swordsmen in Hanma City to appear.
This plan was quite successful, Zhou Yuan could feel some of the spectators who saw him exuding killing intent on him and not a few of them wanted to attack Zhou Yuan secretly like someone who had attacked his back just now.
"You seem to be smarter than I thought, if you understand your situation I advise you not to continue this further or you will find out what happened afterwards..." The Twins are smiling cynically.
"Isn't everything clear, a high-level swordsman like you would want a Celestial Fruit as well right?" The Twin Demons smiled meaningfully.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly but did not answer him, he was aware that the existence of the Heavenly Fruit not only provoked warriors from clans or sects to gather but also criminals.
This incident Zhou Yuan had witnessed in his first life when a Heavenly Fruit appeared in a city, this caused a great battle because almost all parties wanted a Heavenly Fruit.
Zhou Yuan did not mind continuing this fight but the situation was not right, seeing that many criminals around him were worried that they would turn innocent residents around into victims or hostages.
"I hope this is a lesson for you so that you don't do anything else, you're not the only swordsman of the Light Realm in this city or the next incident may be your life that drifts..." Zhou Yuan smiled at the Ghost Sword before then turning around and leaving the battle area.
Ghost Sword tightened his teeth and wanted to attack Zhou Yuan again but the Twin Demons immediately prevented him.
"Do you think you can win from him?"
"I haven't pulled out all my moves, if I'm serious he's no match for me." The Ghost Sword clucked in annoyance.
The Twin Demons glanced at each other before sighing, the two of them have been here since the Ghost Sword and Zhou Yuan fought, respectively, they could see how Zhou Yuan had outperformed his opponent and it seemed that Zhou Yuan had not exerted all his strength either.
The Twin Demons themselves were actually a little surprised Zhou Yuan who looked young had high strength and could surpass the Ghost Sword.
"Pacify yourself first Ghost Sword, we must remember our priorities and reason for coming here, if all business is done you can fight with that young man again, currently the representatives of the Early Sky Temple were heading towards Hanma City."
The Ghost Sword clucked in annoyance, he naturally knew of it. The Ghost Sword had indeed joined the Sky Cloud Temple as well as the Twin Demons and other criminals.
They came here indeed to snatch the Heavenly Fruit, in order to make sure that it fell into the hands of the organization, the Sky Cloud Temple sent many great warriors here.
The Ghost Sword looked at Zhou Yuan who was further away, clenching his hands hard he had no choice but to obey the words of the Twin Demons.
Watching this fight not continue all the way to the life and death level, the surrounding spectators began to disperse after Zhou Yuan left. Some of them felt dissatisfied that it ended like this while others breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ghost Sword and the Twin Demons also left the location shortly after, as the identities of the two had already been revealed making the atmosphere of Hanma City change.
The townspeople began to tell the children and their families to quickly return home and hide, they realized the state of the city was no longer safe.
On the same side Zhou Yuan had already returned to the inn he had booked earlier, the first thing that greeted him was Yifei who was seen waiting for him in annoyance.
"How long have I been waiting for you?!" Yifei puffed his cheeks with a twisted expression and both his hands were placed on his waist.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly as he stroked the top of the girl's head. "Sorry, I was walking around town for a while."
*Sorry for a few days yesterday I could not update for a reason, but take it easy, insyallah, tomorrow-tomorrow the up will take place as usual.
