Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 212: Not Letting Go of One Person
The eyes of the dozens of brown-clothed people grew even darker after hearing Zhang Yu's words. Without saying much they attacked with considerable force.
Unfortunately with that amount none of them were at the heavenly level. Zhang Yu unleashed his power energy to face that graze head-on. Although he was in a state of being injured, but to defeat dozens of saint-level people was still too easy for him.
Within seconds dozens of people were killed. But right after that came three middle-aged men wearing clothes with different motives. Just a glance can tell if they are the leader in question.
"Bad! Indeed we should have crippled him while still helpless. Now he wakes up and kills our people." The man standing in the middle took out a pair of short swords. The two men beside him whispered to each other like they were thinking of a plan to defeat Zhang Yu.
But Zhang Yu was even still very calm in his position. He only looked at the three middle-aged men while looking at his strength.
"They are stronger than a dozen people before. But it's too early to deal with me." Zhang Yu raised his palm. Then unleashed an attack that forced the three men to jump dodge.
"Excession! Feel this!" The man in the middle swung his pair of swords to create a silhouette of slashes. The two men beside him immediately helped. But the attack was even instantly shattered with Zhang Yu's hand movements.
Blars!
There was nothing left but smoke vapor that was slowly spreading. His eyes were wide with surprise.
Not to be surprised after witnessing the attack being held back easily, Zhang Yu suddenly disappeared from his place then appeared in front of the three people while hitting them.
Bang out!
Bang out!
Bang out!
Three flying bodies hit the hallway wall. The three sat together with breathless breath.
At the same time Zhang Yu's attention was unintentionally fixed on the storage ring in a man's hand. Soon the look on his face changed as he made sure it was his storage ring.
"You are looking for death!"
"W-what ...." The three men tried to stand up. But Zhang Yu did not give them a chance then directly killed them.
Zhang Yu deliberately made the man who took his storage ring witness the deaths of his two friends. Slowly walk up to him with a meaningful smile.
"W-what do you want?" asked the curly-haired man in a trembling voice. He did not realize that he had brought a snake into his ship. Moreover, this was a poisonous snake that had the ability to kill him.
Zhang Yu gripped the man's wrist then gradually raised it. "Do you want this ring so badly?" tanyakanya.
Although the question sounded relaxed but the curly-haired man felt his body break out in a cold sweat. He looked at Zhang Yu with fear and dismay.
"Because you don't want to talk, so let's just say you don't want to."
Cracks!
Without hesitation Zhang Yu bent the man's hand until it roared in pain. It was as if nothing meant Zhang Yu taking back his ring.
The man's eyes looked at Zhang Yu. But he didn't even dare to say anything. His mouth was muddled and it was already shaking first before it could make a sound.
Zhang Yu also did not want to waste his time to linger here. He threw the man against the wall, then hit him in the face until he was no longer breathing.
At that moment the red-robed girl came out from her hiding. He approached after making sure those people were gone. "Are you okay?"
Zhang Yu miraculously felt his body improve. Even the wounds after facing the space storm recovered once this girl placed her hands on her back.
Is this some kind of special technique, Zhang Yu thought.
"Thank you,"
The girl raised her face in doubt. A second after that he smiled while nodding his head.
"Where are the others? Did you bring them out?"
Again the girl just nodded her head.
Admittedly, he is quite quiet and talkative. Zhang Yu walked away from the place towards the place of the people he had saved.
Only after outside did Zhang Yu find out that the place was a hiding cave in the middle of the forest. And Zhang Yu made sure this forest was not in the territory of the Xuan Empire or the Yang Empire. The strength of the group of criminals earlier was too terrifying if it were in those two empires.
"Sir, thank you for saving us."
"thank you. If it wasn't for Master, we would have been sold by them as slaves."
Zhang Yu squinted his eyes. The next moment he smiled back at the thanks. "Because you're free, you can go back to your own place."
The people there looked at each other. Because they can't hold their happiness until they cry. They don't miss meals and return home to meet their husbands, wives or children who have been waiting.
In an instant there only remained Zhang Yu and the red-robed girl. Zhang Yu continued to pay attention to him and felt curious about him.
"Aren't you going?" ask Zhang Yu.
The red-robed girl was still silent. He raised his face with a complicated expression, then shook his head.
"Is that home? Is that family? I never really had it."
Zhang Yu initially felt strange hearing the young girl's words. But when looking at his expression, it was as if reminiscing back to the figure of himself when excommunicated by the citizens of the city.
"Do you really have no family?" ask Zhang Yu.
But instead of answering the girl lowered her hood showing her figure which made Zhang Yu stunned. The hair of this girl is completely red. With bright yellow eyes, she had a distinctly different appearance to a child in general.
"You're surprised, aren't you? Because of my appearance, the whole village considers me as a child of pesky carriers. My parents are dead, while my uncles and aunts left me because they also think I'm an unlucky carrier."
Zhang Yu was speechless after hearing the story. It took some time for him to make a decision to ask her to leave together.
"Come, you can come with me."
Song Yixue, the girl's name. He gradually opened his eyes while staring at Zhang Yu in disbelief. "Aren't you afraid I'll bring you shit?" tanyakanya.
Zhang Yu smiled lightly. "There is no such thing because every child is born holy."
For some reason a simple sentence like this made Song Yixue feel extremely valuable. His eyes sparkled then immediately put on his hood again. "If so I'll follow you."
"No problem. It's because I need your explanation to help me."
