Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 151: Final Round l
The fight between Xiao Yuwen and Guang Zhou ended. Although some people hoped that Xiao Yuwen would catch up with the other two descendants of the Xiao clan, but reality said otherwise. Guang Zhou managed to lock down the one remaining spot after forcing Xiao Yuwen to admit defeat.
Now the three final round participants are in the arena preparing to take the ropes to decide who will fight first. Zhang Yu picked up the red rope of his choice, as did Xiao Yuze and Guang Zhou. Right now they were pulling him slowly, but General Ji Han was still holding him back.
"Who do you think will fight first?"
"Maybe Xiao Yuze and Zhang Yu. However they were from the Xiao Clan. It would be interesting if they fought first."
"It doesn't matter who will fight first. This year's Xiao Clan was extremely domineering. No one expected, nor did anyone think that their two descendants would qualify for the final round. If Xiao Yuwen escapes, this will be history for the first time."
Almost everyone talks about this. The Xiao Clan who had not participated in the last two editions, once followed him back straight away with an unexpected surprise. No one thought, nor did anyone think about it.
"Now!" General Ji Han took off his hand which was holding the end of the rope. The red strap hangs directly and shows the result.
"The first final round battle, Xiao Yuze, is facing off against Guang Zhou!" exclaim General Ji Han from his place.
For a moment the audience was stunned by the random results of this placement. They hoped that Zhang Yu and Xiao Yuze would fight first, but it turned out that Guang Zhou would fight first with Xiao Yuze, instead, zhang Yu had to wait for his turn and deal with who had lost between them.
"Zhang Yu, you can go back to your place."
Zhang Yu nodded. He left the arena and returned to his place. At that moment the gaze of his eyes met with Xiao Yuze. It was seen once that he had also hoped to meet her in the first fight, but the results had been obtained, they could only follow the rules.
"Who do you think will win?" hong Shen asked who was suddenly already beside Zhang Yu.
"No one knows for sure the strength of the two of them, so it is very difficult to guess who will win," Hong Shen added with a serious look.
Zhang Yu took a quick look. He himself could not clearly describe the strength of his two competitors in the final round. Both Xiao Yuze and Guang Zhou had advantages.
"Guang Zhou, take this." An elder jumped from the seat of the Guang Clan handing a sword to Guang Zhou. It was orange with black streaks like tendrils on the body of his sword, looking so strong and stunning.
Some people including General Ji Han who was in the arena noticed the intentions of the Guang Clan elders. While preparing to start the fight, watch what was in front of him.
Guang Zhou did not move on the spot and simply stared at the sword handed to him. His expression was flat, as well as his indifferent gaze.
"Patriarch gave you the opportunity to use the ancestral sword of the Guang Clan. Use and show your skills in the final round." That elder of the Guang Clan was still holding a sword while trying to hand it over.
But Guang Zhou who never took the sword from his hand was a little awkward with everyone's gaze.
"Guang Zhou, what are you thinking? Quickly grab this sword and use it as your weapon," urged the elder with his soft voice.
Even so Guang Zhou still did not pester her. He turned to General Ji Han asking him to start the fight immediately.
"General, this fight can begin."
For a moment General Ji Han was stunned for not expecting an answer like this. He cleared his throat with a loud voice, then pointed at the Hong Clan's place as a sign for the elder to return to his place.
"Chairman, please come back, this fight must begin."
The elder's expression in an instant darkened. Similarly, the Hong Clan Patriarch and a few other elders were sitting beside him.
"What is this kid doing?! Second Elder, look at your impolite grandson. The Third Elder came with the Patriarch's orders, but he instead refused them before everyone." The Guang Clan's First Elder expressed his anger at the figure beside him. Guang Yao, Guang Zhou's grandfather.
But instead of listening to the first elder's words, Guang Yao simply remained silent with her dull face. He wanted to make a sound for Guang Zhou, but had no courage in front of the Patriarch and the other Clan elders.
Guang Qin, the Patriarch of the Guang Clan gave a sharp look to Guang Yao. But just a glance before pulling him back into the arena. "And I intend to give him a chance to enter the Guang Clan officially. But since he doesn't want it, I can't force it either."
Guang Zhou realized the look of hatred that was fixed on him. He responded calmly as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"General Ji Han, you can start."
General Ji Han nodded.
"In the count of three the fight will begin. One, two ... Three. Get started!" General Ji Han jumped up while starting the first final round fight. Yet Xiao Yuze and Guang Zhou, who were each already holding swords, did not depart from their places. Eyes stared at each other, as if waiting for an opponent's defensive gap to open.
Even so, the aura of their bodies seemed to be fighting trying to dominate.
"Until when are you going to stay there? I gave you a chance to attack." Xiao Yuze pulled a slight corner of her lips while saying in a mocking tone.
"Since you speak so, I won't hold it in," Guang Zhou replied. Then following the movement of his sword, five warlike lights appeared above his head.
"Five swords of light? Looks like you're better than the lousy generation of the Guang Clan," said cynical dangus Xiao Yuze. Before the competition he did not even know Guang Zhou. But his performance in each round stood out quite a bit, making everyone including himself unable to not pay attention to him.
Guang Zhou did not comment on Xiao Yuze's words. He had already observed enough that Xiao Yuze was a formidable opponent, so right now he would be serious about dealing with her from the start of the fight. Won't waste much of a chance.
"Light sword!" Guang Zhou exclaimed. One sword of light instantly shot out following his sword move.
Muffled explosion sound. However the power energy spread out like a storm.
In his place, Xiao Yuze was still unmoved in the slightest. Right in front of his body was a fairly large skull shadow that was reddish white.
"No surprise. The Guang Clan's secret technique attack was indeed powerful." Together with his sentence, the shadow of the skull slowly faded and shattered.
The damage that the light sword provided was clearly too strong. Lucky for just one sword, if all five advanced simultaneously, it might need to take out something stronger to hold it in.
"I'll keep all my cards to beat him." Xiao Yuze glanced at Zhang Yu. He assumed he could defeat Guang Zhou easily, then face Zhang Yu in the final fight.
"It's not over yet. Aren't you underestimating your opponent too much by acting like this?" Guang Zhou noticed Xiao Yuze's concern. Regardless of the difference in strength between them, he would not give up easily.
Xiao Yuze snorted. "You're such a fuss."
"Swarf eyes!"
Three slash silhouettes shot out rapidly like arrows. Energy ripples followed him like a tail, splashing hot embers.
"Light field!" Guang Zhou was not silent. He used a single sword of light to withstand this attack. He thought one sword of light was enough, but who would have thought one sword of light was unable to withstand Xiao Yuze's sword-eye attack.
"Light sword!"
In a desperate state Guang Zhou again sent one sword of light to restrain him. As the sword eyes were already somewhat weak, Guang Zhou's efforts this time came to fruition.
"Two light swords for one strike. I must hold back after this," Inner Guang Zhou. The five light sword technique used an awful lot of Qi, so it was impossible to take it out again if it had already exhausted the remaining two light swords.
Xiao Yuze had already learned how the secret techniques of the Guang Clan work. At least knew of his weakness which consumed nearly seventy percent Qi. He intended to lure Guang Zhou into using all of his light swords to make him more free. But it turned out that Guang Zhou had no intention of using the two remaining light swords so quickly.
"What are you doing now, huh?" Xiao Yuze turned his sword while putting on the horses as he saw Guang Zhou darting towards him. His eyes blinked twice when he realized Guang Zhou had suddenly disappeared from his place.
"What?"
Xiao Yuze was surprised. But with a quick response he realized Guang Zhou was after him from behind. He turned around, then pushed his sword to resist the arrival of the sword that had almost injured his back.
Trank!
The two swords exchanged strength. Hold each other with sharp eyes.
In one moment Guang Zhou pulled out his sword, then made a rotating motion while raising his right leg.
Xiao Yuze, who did not think that Guang Zhou's foot attack was very strong, only held back with his left hand. His eyes opened completely when he realized he could not hold it like that, then he took a few steps back while shaking his left hand that felt numb.
"It was unexpected that he was very troublesome," Xiao Yuze snorted. A second later he held his sword with both hands, then a sizable slash silhouette plastered in front of his body.
It was a transformation from the first attack form of the sword eye technique. It has a narrower attack range but is ten times sharper.
Guang Zhou originally did not want to use the two remaining light swords. But seeing that Xiao Yuze's attack was so powerful, he didn't think he had any other way to deal with it.
"Two swords of light!"
Swoshis!
BLARS!!
Guang Zhou's body was dragged ten steps away from where it had originally been. Yet he still maintained his position while crossing the sword in front of his chest. His eyes were fixed on the smoke vapor gathering in the middle of the arena. Somehow he felt that there was something strange about this smoke vapor. He continued to stare at her, until one time a yellow-colored light shot out like a needle pierced through her forehead.
Jem!
Guang Zhou lost control of himself. He could not move his hands, feet, even his lips. He could only think, but everything was chaotic because of the circumstances he was in.
At the same time Xiao Yuze walked out of the steam coils of smoke. He swung his legs so calmly that he was right in front of Guang Zhou and pointed a sword at him. After that he released him until Guang Zhou immediately fell down after spewing out a few gulps of blood.
"I used to keep this technique to Zhang Yu, but you're very troublesome."
After being decided on the winner, Xiao Yuze quickly walked back to the participant's seat.
"I hope that you unintentionally seek defeat to avoid me," Xiao Yuze sneered at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu snorted. "You take it easy, you better prepare yourself so as not to reason when you lose a fight."
"You …." Xiao Yuze's face flushed red. He was so angry that he wanted to tear Zhang Yu apart. But he recalled that now many people were paying attention to him, so it had to be calm and elegant.
"Just look at you later, I won't let you off so easily!" his inner.
