Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 113: Fire Poison
Zhang Yu felt the time for them to leave the formation room was getting closer. The formation core had already been found, just trying to destroy it.
But, would it be as easy as turning the palm of the hand? Of course not.
Zhang Yu concentrated his strength in the palm. Then throw a wisp of power energy to destroy it.
The first trial, the second trial and the third trial, Zhang Yu was still unsuccessful. He then tried to use the universe sword and took out a murderous sword technique.
"This technique uses a lot of Qi. Must make sure one direct attack succeeds."
A shadow of a claw was created above his head. Spinning for a moment and then darting towards the point of light.
Blam it!
Explosions happen. The overflow of energy that was so abundant scattered chaotically. The attack was really strong. But baby it still didn't work.
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and held back his frustration. At the same time the protective layer of Qi was thinning. Aside from being due to the time limit, it was also because Zhang Yu forced to use a murderous sword technique that consumed a lot of Qi.
"Comebody! Why is it like this? I have to get to the surface!"
Zhang Yu swam quickly. Unfortunately, the protective layer disappeared faster.
Blup up!
It popped like a balloon.
The flame liquid directly touched Zhang Yu's skin. Burned until he roared in pain. His face flushed withstanding the heat and pain. His eyes were red as if he wanted to scream.
But this torment at one time became a source of energy for him. No longer feeling pain, even feeling cool and comfortable.
Zhang Yu was astonished. He didn't even need to install protective Qi to protect his body from the heat of the flames. It's freaky. Really weird. How could it possibly happen?
Zhang Yu was thinking. Then suddenly remember about the chairman part of the body cultivation technique.
"Poisons, what's all this fire poison here?" In an instant Zhang Yu became excited.
If it was true fire poison, wouldn't this be a source of strength for him?
Zhang Yu folded his legs and sat cross-legged in a floating state. The more focused he was on absorbing the fire poison, the more burning the energy within his body became.
"This "fire poison was even more powerful than death powder. I actually got an unexpected treasure!"
Time quickly passed. Zhang Yu was very focused on absorbing the fire poison. He didn't realize he had been there for a week. He had also unknowingly turned the fire poison in that vast pond into ordinary warm water with a somewhat reddish color. His entire poison had been absorbed away by him. It was also what made his cultivation level rise to the level of a seven-star master.
Zhang Yu was busy cultivating at a depth of thirty meters, the ignorant Xuan Yin continued walking left and right anxiously.
"So long ago he was at the bottom of the pool of fire. Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
The negative thoughts were in his head. Xuan Yin stood by the pool while muttering Zhang Yu's name.
"Are you okay down there? At least give me a sign that you're okay."
Zhang Yu's power base was not too much different from his. So Xuan Yin was at least able to estimate the length of time Zhang Yu would last at the bottom of the fire pond. That was one day. If nothing happens, it is beyond a doubt.
Yet not just a single day, this had already been a week passed and Zhang Yu had yet to come out from the bottom of the fire pond.
"Do I need to catch up with him? Maybe he needs my help down there." Xuan Yin thought for a moment. After feeling his decision was right he immediately made a protector created from Qi then prepared to jump.
At the same time Zhang Yu came out of the fire pond.
"What are you gonna do?"
Xuan Yin instantly fell silent on the spot. "I-I want to follow you down. But you're back."
"Yes, I'm back."
"How did it go? Did you manage to find the core of the formation?"
Zhang Yu nodded his head. "Not just find it. I destroyed it too."
"We'll be out in some time, so improve your appearance," he added as he pointed at Xuan Yin's forehead and pressed down on her.
Xuan Yin again brushed off Zhang Yu's index finger. No need to tell me, I'll do it."
...
In the ruins area.
The group of six princes and the group of Wu Zetian were still going around while dismantling the building rubble. Not forgetting to also mention Zhang Yu and Xuan Yin thought there would be an unexpected revelation.
"Sister Yan Xou, it seems that Zhang Yu is completely gone."
Yan Xou smiled fluffyly. "It's good that he's dead. Although it's a pity that I can't kill him directly, but in this way I don't have to dirty my hands to get rid of him."
"Let's go! There are still many places we haven't explored."
After that Yan Xou left the region. Several other groups also left including the Hong Clan group. Since it had helped search for seven days they could not linger in one place to continue the exploration.
Jiang Fu looked at the situation and also felt it was time for him to leave the region. He walked sneaking around trying to sneak out behind the Hong Clan's entourage.
He thinks he can just leave. But reality says something else. When it had gone a bit far, suddenly someone held its shoulders.
The ignorant Jiang Fu spontaneously turned his back. His breath immediately choked at the sight of the two figures standing before him. "Second Prince? Fourth Prince?"
Xuan Liang and Xuan Si glanced at each other and nodded. They pulled out a rope and tied Jiang Fu to nothing.
Not enough to get there. After being perfectly bound Jiang Fu was dragged near the ruins and stuck a peg so as not to escape.
"Second Prince, Fourth Prince! What are you guys doing? Don't doubt you have the power to oppress people." Jiang Fu said everything he had in mind. He exclaimed loudly but no one cared about him.
"Second Prince! Fourth Prince! You can't be like this! I'm still a student of the Imperial Academy!"
"Whisper!"
Jiang Fu frowned and started to raise his face. "Fifth Prince, why did the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince do this? Can the Prince help me untie her?"
Xuan Wu snorted. "You're lucky that my two brothers just tied you up. If it was me, it would have hit you until the new battered binds you with chains!"
Jiang Fu's face instantly turned pale. He put on a slashy face, then said like a helpless person. "Fifth Prince, there must be a misunderstanding here. Let's talk carefully ...."
"Misunderstanding? Looks like your brain is in trouble! You think we didn't see it? You want to destroy the stone pillar on the sixth floor. You must be here to accept punishment."
"Moreover this is a message from my Seventh Brother not to let you go. Wait until he comes back and he'll decide."
Jiang Fu no longer dared to speak. Inwardly kept thinking about how Zhang Yu could get the attention of the princes. Moreover the first prince and the seventh prince were famous for their indifferent personality.
"At the same time neither Zhang Yu nor the seventh prince will return. So I'll be safe."
Just saying so, a red light radiated upwards quickly and quite brightly.
The princes and Wu Zetian's group gathered in the presence of this red light. Its area coverage was around forty square meters and it was emitting uncontrollable energy.
After reacting like that long enough, the red light slowly faded away. Zhang Yu and Xuan Yin miraculously appeared there so the group around him spontaneously held their breath.
"Zhang Yu!"
"Seventh Brother!"
They're approaching. Wu Zetian could not help but hug Zhang Yu tightly. He checked every inch of his body and struck slowly after.
"Suckers! You're making me worry! Thank goodness you're okay."
"Seventh Brother! What the hell is going on? How can you get back together? And what was that red light before?" xuan Wu asked curiously.
"That's ...." Xuan Yin was a bit confused to explain. He glanced at Zhang Yu who was also glancing at him.
"We were trapped in a formation room. The Seventh Prince saved me. I'm so grateful to him."
All eyes were immediately on Zhang Yu. "Is that so?"
"I can't possibly forget the help the Seventh Prince has given me. It means a lot, I won't forget and will repay you."
After saying Zhang Yu turned to walk with Wu Zetian to where Tang Yue and He Jiao were.
"He said it sincerely. It seems like the help you provided means a lot to him, Seventh Brother," Xuan Wu said.
Help out?
Xuan Yin's face flushed upon hearing this. Other than restoring strength it seemed like there was nothing else he did for her
"Returned? What did he mean by replying to her?!"
