Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 16: Final Round
When Zhang Yu had been confirmed as the winner, the portion of the audience who supported him immediately cheered. As if they had taken care of him from the beginning, they exclaimed proudly by saying his name.
"I am confident that Zhang Yu will win the event of maturity and earn the nickname as the younger generation of the Zhang clan's most genius this period."
"Really! Whereas before this I had thought that Zhang Feng would follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Zhang Xiao, getting first place in the maturation event. But Zhang Yu appeared very promising."
Almost half of the audience watching the maturity event were discussing Zhang Yu. No one realized, a young man sitting in the waiting area of the participants displayed an annoyed face and seemed to be holding back anger.
The attention that should have only been on him, was now divided, even more centered on Zhang Yu.
Although Zhang Yu had managed to take off the trash he had been holding for years, he was unwilling to admit that Zhang Yu was superior to him. It won't!
"Sister Feng, are you okay?" A young man who happened to be near Zhang Feng patted his shoulder while calling out.
Zhang Feng slowly turned his face to look at the young man.
Although there was no word, but the young man could feel Zhang Feng's anger. "Sister Feng, the Fourth Elder has called you up on the battle stage."
Zhang Feng's forehead shriveled. He had almost forgotten that he still had a battle to win.
Together with that, Zhang Yan exclaimed for the umpteenth time calling Zhang Feng's name.
"Zhang Feng! If you don't go up right now, then you'll be eliminated."
Zhang Feng got up from his seat, then jumped onto the fighting stage.
"I think you're afraid to fight so you don't dare to go upstairs" Zhang Hou sneered.
Zhang Feng ignored Zhang Hou's remarks and glanced at Zhang Yan's place. "When did this fight start? My hands are itching to find an impingement."
Hearing this, Zhang Hou who a few seconds before was still smiling quickly became annoyed. His hand was clenched and the sword in his hand had been enveloped in radiating Qi.
Zhang Yan raised his hand as a gesture. Seeing that both participants were ready, without wasting any longer starting the fight.
"Start!"
The echo of the voice was still left, but did not wait any longer Zhang Feng swung his fire dragon sword to create two silhouettes of slashes.
Just once a swing, the silhouette of a red-colored slash that released heat energy shot out swiftly to where Zhang Hou was.
Zhang Hou's eyes twitched. Trying to force his body to dodge between two parallel slash silhouettes.
Although he had to roll around but he managed to escape without receiving any injuries.
Zhang Feng snorted. The next second he gripped the powerful fire dragon sword then darted like an assassin. His body was so dark, his eyes so sharp.
For some reason, Zhang Hou who was originally very brave and had high self-confidence, suddenly felt an unusual unease. He tried to calm down, but right at this moment Zhang Feng unexpectedly increased his speed. In an instant he was already in front of his eyes, releasing a single slash exerting his full strength.
Blam it!
The power of this attack was too great. Zhang Hou who tried to resist instead had him slammed until half of his body floated on the edge of the fighting stage.
But one thing he missed, this fight did not stop. When Zhang Feng found out the opponent had yet to fall, he was as quick as lightning releasing power energy from the tip of his sword.
A sizable wave of fire, crashing into Zhang Hou's body fiercely. Zhang Hou was forced to unleash his sword and jump around while dodging.
That should be enough. But who would have thought, when he had just landed a foot safely, Zhang Feng had been right behind him.
There is no mercy. There is no mercy!
Zhang Feng used the blunt part of his sword, delivering an attack with all his might.
Blam it!
Zhang Hou's body immediately crashed violently. Falling around the audience with a trail of sizable deep basins. His spine was twisted, and blood flowed from his mouth. So sad!
The Fourth Elder did not react to witnessing this. The audience was stunned and held their breaths looking at Zhang Hou's appalling condition.
The Fifth Elder who was on the seat immediately jumped to where Zhang Hou was when he saw the sign from the Patriarch. He checked carefully and his facial expression kept changing as if to tell Zhang Hou's rather severe condition. But he raised his thumb, insisting Zhang Hou was not in danger.
"Fifth Chief, bring Zhang Hou back and treat him immediately." Fifth Elder, Zhang Lou nodded at Zhang Lei's orders. Without further ado, Zhang Hou left the crowd.
"Fourth Chief, you can end this fight," Zhang Lei said from his seat.
Zhang Yan nodded at a glance, cleared his throat several times with a loud voice and drew the attention of the audience. "In a fight there is always a loss and a win. Being injured was natural, the Fifth Elder had already ascertained Zhang Hou's condition and he would treat it. So there's no need to strain and let's continue this competition."
"In the meantime Zhang Feng had defeated Zhang Hou, and as the winner of this fight he had the right to challenge Zhang Yu in the final round. We'll be in for the second break. Gives an opportunity for the two best participants of this period to recover strength."
After saying it at length, Zhang Yan signaled to Zhang Feng to return to the waiting area.
Zhang Feng stored his sword then headed to his seat. The place that was previously filled by thirty people, was now very quiet with only two people left.
"Congratulations, you've finally reached the final."
Zhang Feng's forehead shriveled upon hearing this remark. He looked back and his gaze became sharp. "You can get to the final round no more because of luck. If it wasn't for your sword, would you have made it this far?"
Zhang Yu smiled coldly. Not answering that sentence, he waltzed away just like that.
Of course this made Zhang Feng feel humiliated. His face immediately became red. However he could still hold it in, took a deep breath then snorted while pulling his gaze forward.
Hmh!
"You can act until now. Wait a few more moments and I'll make you battered!" his inner.
...
Meanwhile at the elder's.
"First Elder, do you think Zhang Feng can win against Zhang Yu? The Second Elder's son had unexpectedly possessed a decent ability and could defeat his opponents by promising." Zhang Wen asked Zhang Xu's opinion of the final round that was about to take place.
"of course. Xiao Feng definitely won! The Second Elder's son would not be able to dwell in the final round. Let's just see." Zhang Xu got up from his seat. "I have one very important business. You just wait here."
