Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 152: Final Round ll
After losing the first fight of the final round, Guang Zhou had now returned to the top of the arena to face Zhang Yu.
If in this fight he won, then Xiao Yuze who won over him got first place, while he and Zhang Yu were second and third respectively. That was if he was able to defeat Zhang Yu.
But if it were the other way around, Zhang Yu would fight Xiao Yuze for the first position. He should be satisfied in third place.
"You still have time to recover. Are you sure you want to start the fight now?" general Ji Han asked Guang Zhou.
Of course everyone knew that Guang Zhou was injured before when dealing with Xiao Yuze. He only took half of the time given to recuperate and directly challenged Zhang Yu.
"Nobody knows me more than myself. I've been very good," he replied.
General Ji Han had no right to ban participants if they were ready to fight. He glanced at Zhang Yu, then asked him.
"You ready?"
"Please the General start."
Hearing this General Ji Han immediately took a swing. In the count of three, he jumped from his spot while exclaiming in a loud voice.
"Start!"
Five swords of light appeared above Guang Zhou's head. The five revolved and emitted a powerful aura.
"I've been waiting for these moments. Even though my strength may be weaker than yours, never feel sorry for me" Guang Zhou said.
"Well, I'll do it." Right after that Zhang Yu placed his sword before his body.
"Fire hands!"
As soon as Guang Zhou saw two swords of light, Zhang Yu cast a palm shadow to hold it in. The shadow of the palm moved swiftly along the ground, crashing into the sword of light and then smashing together.
Guang Zhou's eyes twitched seeing his attack being broken by Zhang Yu. After Xiao Yuze had previously done the same, it was like dejavu that affected him a little.
"Sister Guang Zhou! Watch out!"
The cry from the Tong family's place resuscitated Guang Zhou who had been speechless. He raised his face as he felt a gust of wind feel very real from his front.
Blam it!
The Qi-coated universal sword had almost landed on Guang Zhou's body if he was a split second late. His face was a bit pale, his hands were trembling violently. Yet Guang Zhou resisted the feeling of doubt within him and took out his flagship fighting technique.
Turning like a wheel, crashing like a wave. Each movement is very dynamic but also very regular.
Zhang Yu who previously thought Guang Zhou's condition had not recovered enough to deal with it began to hesitate with the opinion. His attack managed to force himself to survive, although in the end he was able to compensate and gradually dominate his movements.
"He has more ways of fighting than I thought before. It seems like the distance between us is getting wider," inner Guang Zhou. He realized close combat was not very profitable for him. Hence he used four light swords that were still waiting for his command.
"Zhang Yu, if you can survive my attack. I'll admit defeat to you!" yells.
Instantly Zhang Yu felt interested in Guang Zhou's challenge. Seeing the four swords of light begin to spin and aim towards him, he cast a shadow of a giant claw that had each fingernail colored red. The Killer Sword Technique.
"E-energy this ... They both intend to end the fight with the ultimate attack! This power energy was even stronger than before!"
"Somehow Zhang Yu will survive the attacks of the four light swords attacking simultaneously. It was a pretty famous secret technique of the Guang Clan!"
"However, Zhang Yu's technique is no less powerful. Somehow at the end of this fight, we'll have to wait until it's over."
At this moment time seems to stop at one moment. Whether it was Guang Zhou's four light swords, or Zhang Yu's giant claw shadow, the two attack techniques were now darting out extremely fast.
BOOM UP!
Beginning with a flash of light arising in the middle of the arena, the explosive sound of two power energies meeting managed to make the ears of everyone present buzz for a while.
"Who won?" ask several people at the same time. They could not see the state of the arena that was still covered in smoke. Waiting until General Ji Han, the person most authorized to go down to the arena then using a sweep of his hand to hit the smoke that covered the arena.
"That's Zhang Yu! He's still standing!"
The smoke slowly disappeared. The first person to be seen above the arena was Zhang Yu. Although his clothes had some tears, but he stood fit in place. He didn't even shift things a single step.
"Where is Guang Zhou?" ask some people.
This was because Guang Zhou was not in his place. Everyone was curious and started looking for him.
By the time the smoke above the arena completely disappeared, no one was not surprised upon seeing Guang Zhou's state. He was at the end of the arena who could at any time get out of the dividing line. He could also still maintain his standing stance, but his appearance was already very poor.
General Ji Han approached Guang Zhou's place to confirm his condition. He asked, "Are you still able to fight?"
But instead of directly answering, Guang Zhou raised his face to look at Zhang Yu. He wanted to say something to her, but in the end the sentence could not be delivered because he was unable to maintain his consciousness.
Bruk!
Guang Zhou fell nearly to his knees in the arena. Right before that Zhang Yu appeared quickly then propped up his body.
This incident has caused some people to worry. But the actions of Zhang Yu who cared deeply about his former opponent also received applause from the audience.
"Thank you, you can hand it over to us. He represents the Tong family, we'll take care of him." The head of the Tong Family and some of his people took Guang Zhou. They then took Guang Zhou to the Tong family's seat before getting treatment.
Ahem...
General Ji Han cleared his throat. "Because Guang Zhou was unconscious, then the winner of this fight was ... Zhang Yu's!"
The cries from various directions instantly resounded. Liu Bei's special family was very happy with this outcome and he cheered quite loudly.
"Life Saturn! Long live the Liu Family!"
Liu Mengqi who was next to her father only covered her face with both hands. "Dad, watch your attitude. You're the same as tarnishing Saturn's good name" he lamented in a low voice.
Zhang Yu had already returned to his seat. Now there was only himself and Xiao Yuze there. The two of them sat far apart, at the left and right end.
Since Zhang Yu had just finished his fight, then he had time to recover his energy. He did not want to take a dizzy look at Xiao Yuze, he focused on closing his eyes and focusing on the next fight.
"Cousin," call Xiao Yuwen.
Gradually Zhang Yu opened his eyelids then looked at Xiao Yuwen who was already standing beside him. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.
Although they did not have a good relationship, but Xiao Yuwen did not seem too bad when compared to Xiao Yuze. So maybe there's no harm in treating him properly.
"It's okay. I only have a letter for you from the Patriarch," he said as he pulled out a scroll from behind his clothes.
Zhang Yu looked at him in wonder. Then quietly glanced at Xiao Lang, who was known lately to be his uncle.
"What's it say?" ask Zhang Yu.
"I don't know. You open it if you're curious."
Hearing this answer Zhang Yu opened the scroll. Carefully untie her, then slowly move her eyes to read every word written in it.
"..."
It was okay at first. But when fully reading the contents of the letter, the look on his face changed completely. Zhang Yu rolled back the sheet and grasped it tightly.
"Why did I give up? That's right!"
