Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 174: Killing All Intruders
"There's no blood here. That means no fight." Zhang Yu analyzed this vast room carefully. He began to link the various information he got so that a projection of events appeared in his head.
The room that looks messy at some point indicates the panic experienced by residents. Maybe at that time they were anxious to think about the fight outside, then suddenly came uninvited guests so they quickly fled.
Seeing also the scratches on the wall, it was not like a trace of a fight but rather a stab full of anger.
The people of the Spirit Palace certainly did not expect the emergency shelter to be empty. They were so angry that they vent their anger by attacking the wall.
"Grandfather, how do I open this door?" ask Zhang Yu. It was not the door they entered, but the other door that was across from them.
Zhang Yu was sure that everyone was fleeing through that door and the intruders from the Spirit Palace were chasing after them.
Xiao Nie agreed as well. Without wasting much time Xiao Nie opened the door by pressing a few secret buttons.
As soon as the door opened they were surprised to see a passage filled with blood. But strangely there was no corpse so they did not know whose blood it belonged to.
Zhang Yu momentarily remained silent just staring at that terrifying looking passageway. His black eyes flashed as he thought of his mother's state as well as Xuan Yin. Especially after finding out that the people of Spirit Palace were apparently eyeing the physical body of the goddess did not belong to Xuan Yin.
Wush...
There was no way Zhang Yu would linger here. His priority right now was to find their whereabouts.
"Zhang Yu's! Don't be rash!" Xiao Nie exclaimed trying to stop Zhang Yu who suddenly shot up. However it seemed that Zhang Yu did not hear his voice because in an instant the shadow of his back had disappeared.
On the other hand, Xuan Yin and Xiao Mei managed to hide after separating themselves to distract the twenty pursuing people from the group of women and children.
But it seemed that their hideout was not very safe as the group of Spirit Palace people were now wandering around where they were hiding.
"Auntie, there's still a chance for you to get out of here. They are all after me, so they will not chase after Auntie," Xuan Yin said as she attempted to peek out from the cave behind the bamboo forest.
But Xiao Mei shook her head firmly. He said, "If you want to be sure Auntie has taken the right path with the others. But Auntie won't let you alone."
"We just have to wait longer for help. Aunty is sure the elders will return soon and save us," added Xiao Mei who made Xuan Yin speechless in shock.
"Hows it? Did you find them?" ask the voice loudly. His position was turned back to the mouth of the cave behind the bamboo tree ranks. It was enough to make Xuan Yin and Xiao Mei hold each other tightly and hold their breath in dismay.
"none. They suddenly disappeared after entering the territory of the bamboo forest. There may be a hidden place here that we don't know about" said another.
Xiao Mei pulled Xuan Yin's hand into the cave. They decided to stay there and hope for help soon.
"Spread! Search again! Check every place and don't miss it!" The two men who were at the nine-star heavenly level gave orders to the other eighteen people. They soon split up again and began the search.
But until some time they were completely unaware of the existence of the cave behind the bamboo tree grove.
"We'll check over there. You're looking the other way." Five people went to take the right lane while five others went to take the left lane. They walked dozens of steps before stopping when they met a young man.
"What's he doing here? Does he want to face us?" said the five men with a look of disdain.
Because earlier the people of the Xiao Clan would definitely run so miserably when meeting them. It was quite strange to see one young man coming with his gaze that looked angry and annoyed.
"Fuckup. I'll go and kill him!" say one of the five men. Then without wasting any more time he took out his sword before attacking with his fighting technique.
"Zhang Yu, be careful. He was at the level of a two-star saint."
Hearing the warning of the dragon god, Zhang Yu only pulled a slight corner of his lips.
At first Long Shen was a bit hesitant as Zhang Yu said so. But seeing the running man suddenly stop on the spot, Long Shen immediately believed Zhang Yu's words.
"Killer sword!"
The shadow of a giant claw immediately flew from where Zhang Yu was towards the man who stood like a statue. Without any chance to fight back, his body instantly shattered and died.
The four men who were still in place did not even have time to react because this incident was very fast. They blinked their eyes, then immediately pulled out a weapon and without saying much attacked Zhang Yu together.
Of course facing four people simultaneously was a difficulty for him. But Zhang Yu used a combination of northern sword techniques with the soul conqueror needle technique. Four two and three star saint level people, one by one losing their lives.
But don't think the fight is over. Five dead, fifteen more coming.
When the Spirit Palace experts of the wolf faction who were at the nine-star heavenly level saw five dead people at the hands of a young man, they could not help but hold their breath for a few seconds while looking at him.
"Klan Xiao turned out to have extraordinary talent. But the Spirit Palace won't let you down because it will only be a problem if it is allowed to continue to develop."
"Kill him!" yell at the two guys simultaneously. Thirteen people behind immediately shot towards Zhang Yu intending to kill him.
But just before that dozens of attacks came fiercely from various directions.
Blam it!
Blam it!
Thirteen people immediately withdrew. The two experts who were at the back only linked his two eyebrows with a turbid look. Especially when watching dozens of people from the Xiao Clan come including Xiao Nie and the elders.
"What the fuck! Why is everyone gathered here? What about the chairman?" they whispered to each other.
The two experts became a little worried. Because they know there's only one chance they're all here. It was none other than because the fellows from the Spirit Palace had already been defeated.
"Zhang Yu's! Leave them to us. Go to the end of the bamboo forest, there is a hidden cave behind bamboo trees. It's likely that your mother and Xuan Yin are hiding there."
Not waiting any longer Zhang Yu immediately darted following his grandfather's remark. He also found the hidden cave after passing through bamboo trees that are quite lush.
Zhang Yu stepped in impatiently. Step by step he went deeper. But at that moment he stopped because he realized there were eyes watching him.
"Dead you!"
Xuan Yin jumped from above while pushing his sword. Since he did not know that it was Zhang Yu, he exerted all his strength to attack.
Of course Zhang Yu was surprised by Xuan Yin's unexpected attack. Luckily he was still agile enough that with a quick response caught his hand.
"Yin'er, do you want to kill me?" zhang Yu asked as he looked at Xuan Yin deeply.
Xuan Yin was stunned as soon as he realized the man he wanted to attack was Zhang Yu. He let go of his sword and hugged.
"Suckers! You know I'm so worried because you didn't come out even after two years? I'm waiting for you, but you don't even intend to come out!"
Xuan Yin vented his frustration while hitting Zhang Yu's back. But compared to his frustration, his anxiety and worry were much greater. He hugged her tighter and refused to let go.
Xiao Mei walked over from inside. He could only shake his head at the sight of two people hugging each other. Instead of bothering them, Xiao Mei decided to come out knowing the situation outside had been safe.
