Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 150: Xiao Yuze's Challenge
Uhuk! Uhuk!
Hong Xiu spat out a few gulps of blood. At this moment his soul form was half destroyed, but he was still able to maintain it.
"Not wrong anymore! He was indeed above my level," he murmured. Sweat flooded his face which now looked exhausted. It must be admitted that holding back two Zhang Yu attacks was very, very troublesome and drained a lot of his energy.
"Eh.. Where is he?!"
Hong Xiu was a little worried when he did not see Zhang Yu in his place. He circulated a three hundred and sixty-degree view just to look for it. He was only able to calm down when he found Zhang Yu was apparently standing across from the other side of his position.
"I'm even worried that he's starting to attack when I'm not ready," the girl's inner self. He slowly wiped away the sweat and tied his hair back.
"Transformation of the Soul!"
As soon as Hong Xiu exclaimed, he bit his pinky to the point of bleeding. Then the blood spread to his soul form as he raised his hand upwards.
"Woe... This power is stronger than ever." The dragon god was shocked. He tried to remind Zhang Yu, but seeing Zhang Yu's reaction it seemed like he also knew about it.
"Maybe this also includes the Hong Clan's secret techniques. He's more talented than his brother."
The dragon god snorted. "What's the importance of talking about that? Now he's ready to attack!"
Zhang Yu could see it as well. That soul form was now moving towards him. With a sword of light, slashing out emitted waves of fire that moved like waves.
Not so fast, but pretty straightforward.
"Boulder punch!" Zhang Yu positioned his left hand straight ahead, then a fist shadow darted through the waves of flames that were ready to roll over him.
Wush!
A wave of flames split followed by the sound of chaotic wind. The fist shadow broke through unbearably making the fire wave torn apart like a wave crashing against the reef. Messy.
Zhang Yu's attack might have managed to withstand the attack. But Hong Xiu did not stop there. Ever since realizing his attack would be easy to deal with, he hid his soul form among the hot steam.
His eyes continued to move, looking for an opening to attack.
"Now! It's time!" Hong Xiu smiled confidently. He raised his sword with a spontaneous movement as a sign, then a soul form hiding in the overflow of hot steam emerged from an unthinkable point.
Blam it!
Very strong explosions occurred. The hot steam spread out then disappeared being blown away by the powerful energy from the swing of the sword of light.
"Is this over?" ask some people in the audience.
Hong Xiu wasn't sure, but he wanted to confirm it. But when he approached he realized that what was at the center of his attack was just a sword without its owner.
"What?! Where is he?"
Hong Xiu became a little confused. Right at this moment a black shadow flashed rapidly from behind.
Instantly with a quick response Hong Xiu turned his back. But his efforts were no faster than Zhang Yu's movements. During that time Zhang Yu pushed his palm open, hitting Hong Xiu between his stomachs.
Bugs!
Sretti...
"Sister, are you okay?" asked Hong Shen from the seat of the Hong clan. Because he had been eliminated earlier so the clan's hope was on his sister's shoulders. However seeing that his opponent was Zhang Yu, it was naturally difficult for him to reach the next round.
Hong Xiu was still unmoved. But a second later he took a deep breath before summoning General Ji Han as their battle referee.
"General Ji Han, you can end this fight." The gaze that everyone had aimed at him, whether clan members or outsiders, was clearly currently the situation was not on his side. He's outmatched. Whether or not he wants to, he has to admit it.
General Ji Han immediately descended to the arena to certify Zhang Yu as the victor. Hong Xiu kept his sword, then left the arena early.
As it flashed next to Zhang Yu, Hong Xiu took the time to stop for a few seconds. "Congratulations on his victory. But may I know how you escaped my attack?"
Hong Xiu was sure one hundred percent had already prepared it very maturely. The fact that his attacks only targeted empty fields made him slightly less receptive to the end of this fight.
Zhang Yu took out the universe sword that stuck at the place of the previous attack. Taking back a bit of his energy that was still gathering in it.
Instantly it made Hong Xiu lose his word. He laughed when he knew the root of the problem. "Haha-haha ... I think I'm a step ahead of you. Turns out you've even stepped five times without my knowledge. I really feel silly."
Zhang Yu did not say anything. He also returned to his seat.
The fire wave attack Hong Xiu had unleashed earlier did not live up to his expectations. Having already seen Hong Shen's attack on the second round fight, he thought the attack would be even stronger. But it turned out that the attack instantly disappeared so easily as he issued an attack.
From that point on it looks the irregularity of the situation in the fight. He deliberately left behind a bit of Qi in the universe sword before stuck it in where he stood. It was based on Hong Xiu's response which tended to be very sensitive to the aura.
Evidently on the first surprise attack when he attacked from above. His quick reaction explained everything.
"What's your real purpose?"
Zhang Yu had just sat down. Xiao Yuze shifted his position until it was one place next to him.
"..."
But instead of paying attention to him, Zhang Yu did not even respond. Of course Zhang Yu's silent demeanor made Xiao Yuze upset. The young man threw his face away, then snorted in a deep voice.
"You want to get recognition from the Xiao Clan, right? That's your goal to come to this competition and show your talent in front of everyone, especially clan elders."
Zhang Yu took a breath for a moment. He began to stare at Xiao Yuze who looked unhappy with his whereabouts.
He's really mad? Sillier. Doesn't he have that right now? The unfair treatment he and his parents had received. Does the Xiao clan know how his life and his mother's father lived?
"really. That was my goal. Does that make you uncomfortable?" asked Zhang Yu cynically.
"You ...." Xiao Yuze's face turned red. Zhang Yu's words had truly provoked him. But a second later he tried to control his emotions and laughed with scorn. "You're just like your father who came from a clan in the middle of nowhere. No one will acknowledge your existence even if grandfather takes you home. You're nothing but a disgrace to the clan."
Every word was like a needle that pierced through his heart. Zhang Yu clenched his hands but he was so good at hiding his expression.
"If I'm a disgrace, then what are you? I hear you're forcing a woman to get married while she doesn't want it, isn't that sad?"
"What did you say?!" Xiao Yuze was again lured. But as he was about to speak, the atmosphere around suddenly became boisterous as the remaining two participants descended to the arena for the third round.
Huh!
"Just wait. I'll show you who Xiao Yuze really is at the finals."
