Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 248: Dead Wearing
Zhang Yu followed the directions on the map to arrive at his destination. He found a huge cave a few steps ahead of him.
"There was a very pressing dark aura coming from within. You have to be careful."
Zhang Yu heard Long Shen's words before going inside he enveloped his body with Qi so as not to be affected by the dark aura.
Just a few steps from the cave entrance Zhang Yu found a tear of clothes on the rough rocks of the cave wall. The black fabric already confirmed if he came to the right place.
When going deeper inside, a group of people came out forming a line. They started to gather and surround him.
Out of these dozens of people were almost all at the heavenly level. But none of them are on a higher level.
Zhang Yu took out the universe sword. When they attacked together, the sword swings instantly slashed their weapons to pieces in half.
Suddenly their faces changed. But they had quite a number of weapons and this time took out a higher quality weapon.
"Strike him!" exclaim them compactly.
As the dozens of people tried to restrain Zhang Yu, Zhang Ye tried to find the life crystal inside the cave. He continued to walk through several intersections, finally reaching the end of the cave, which is a fairly large space with a pond in the middle.
Zhang Ye tried to search for that life crystal here. He's circling around here and there but still has trouble finding it.
"Teacher says the crystal of life contains the element of water. Could ...." The words stopped there. Zhang Ye then dove into the pond and dived as far as he could.
At that moment, he actually saw something sparkling down there.
"Christ of life! I finally found it." Zhang Ye swam quickly to grab it. He immediately returned to the surface as soon as he got the item.
It just so happened that Zhang Yu had only arrived after defeating fifteen people of the Soul Palace.
Instead of panicking or something, Zhang Ye instead valiantly pulled out his sword.
"Zhang Yu's! I've been waiting for you long enough. Finally you came alone to give up your life!" From Zhang Ye's body emanated an extremely powerful dark aura.
Zhang Yu was surprised because the power was not weaker than him.
"How can he be this strong?" inner Zhang Yu.
Long Shen who had been looking through Zhang Ye's body had already found the reason why he chose such a high level of cultivation.
"He used a forbidden method. He used the rest of his lifespan just to increase his strength."
Zhang Yu nodded his head. Now he understood where all the dark auras scattered in this cave came from. It was none other than Zhang Ye's body cultivating using the forbidden method.
"Zhang Yu's! Die you!"
Zhang Ye suddenly appeared right in front of Zhang Yu and swung his sword with all his might.
It was fortunate that Zhang Yu had such a quick reaction. Before the sword touched his body, Zhang Yu had already moved out of place so the attack only hit the cave wall.
But it didn't finish there. Zhang Ye pulled out his sword that stuck into the cave wall then took out a murderous sword technique.
"Zhang Yu's! You must pay for the death of my father and sister! You must die!"
Zhang Yu was able to see the shadow of the giant claw that was already shrouded in a dark aura was extremely powerful. But Zhang Yu also had the same technique. So he took out his murderous sword technique to deal with the attack.
Blars!
A very big explosion happened. Even the water in the pond was churned due to the overflow of energy that was sourced from their two attacks.
Zhang Yu took the initiative for the first time. He focused on the sword in his hand then used the soul conqueror needle technique.
Zhang Ye was speechless like a statue after being exposed to the influence of the soul needle technique of the conqueror. But not long after he was really able to escape the influence of the technique.
"He also increased his soul power. The conqueror's soul needle technique had no effect whatsoever on him," Zhang Yu's inner. Since soul attacks were useless, Zhang Yu changed his way of fighting. It was nothing but close combat.
It was unexpected that Zhang Ye was also very skilled at it. He used his mainstay fighting technique and moved very freely.
That made Zhang Ye desperate. Moreover, the sword that Zhang Ye used was still an ordinary high-class weapon. Although it was strong enough to deal with the universal sword some time, but slowly cracks appeared on the blade of the sword which was becoming clearer and clearer.
Pyars!
Because it was no longer strong the sword was destroyed. Zhang Ye retreated a few steps as he tried to avoid Zhang Yu's sword slash. His face was very complicated and unacceptable. He clenched his hands while grinding his teeth.
"Zhang Yu's! It's not over yet. I'm gonna kill you!" Zhang Ye grabbed his sword that was only a quarter left and then tried to stab Zhang Yu with it.
It was a careless decision. Zhang Yu avoided it very easily. Then right after Zhang Yu flapped Zhang Ye's body until he fell over.
Zhang Yu intended to attack him with a sword. But Zhang Ye used the rest of his energy to form a shield capable of protecting himself.
Zhang Ye stood up while holding his stomach. At that moment appeared a teleportation portal nearby which then became a escape path for him.
Zhang Yu tried to catch up, but the teleportation portal quickly disappeared.
...
"Teacher, you're coming in late." Zhang Ye instantly collapsed within the room.
Gao Feng Shui didn't seem to care. He asked, "Where is the crystal of his life?"
Zhang Ye reached into his pocket, as he was about to take it out, he recalled something he wanted to ask. "Teacher. Before that, I want to ask you, why did this black mark appear?"
Zhang Ye pointed at the black mark that was like a bracelet in his hand. It suddenly appeared as he fought against Zhang Yu.
For some reason each used the power of this black mark to extend and the two ends were almost united. At the same time Zhang Ye also felt his body getting weaker as if the strength in his body had suddenly disappeared.
"Teacher?" call Zhang Ye because the teacher is still silent.
"Give me that crystal of life, I'll explain it to you."
Because I don't know anything, Zhang Ye gave me that new life. Gao Feng Shui laughed in satisfaction as he accepted it, he then sat down in his chair and explained about Zhang Ye's state.
"It was a forbidden cultivation effect. Every upgrade you get, it'll reduce your age by a year. You are from the master level to the half-eternal level. If you count you've lost forty years of age. To make you use your powers excessively, it brings you closer to death."
"..."
Zhang Ye's breathing choked upon hearing the truth. She's speechless. He was at a loss for words to say.
"Teacher, didn't you say that the forbidden cultivation method would only take five years of my age?"
Gao Feng Shui laughed. "I didn't think you were so stupid. A fiver? If it was only the next year, everyone would definitely use this method to cultivate."
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth. "Thus ... I'm gonna die?"
While staring blankly ahead, Zhang Ye recalled about the life crystal. He immediately stood up and walked towards Gao Fengshui. "Teacher, can't the crystal of life be a second life? Please give me Master,"
Zhang Ye was still unaware of the situation. Gao Feng Shui laughed sinisterly at his disciple then took out a sword and pierced his chest.
Jem!
Zhang Ye was astonished that the teacher had actually done such a heinous thing. He looked at me with incredulous eyes.
"You've already used the forbidden method but still lost to that brat. It's really embarrassing to be your teacher. Therefore, you just die and let me avenge you."
Zhang Ye did not accept an end like this. But he is no longer strong. In the end he could only be willing if it ended up in the hands of his own teacher.
Gao Feng Shui looked at the life crystal with a radiant face. All this time he had only used Zhang Ye to search for the existence of life crystals. It was because Gao Fengshui himself was also already on the verge of his death. He desperately needed the life crystal to stay alive.
It is also for this reason that he cannot do anything freely. But after this crystal of life he obtained, he would soon regain his life.
"Zhang Yu's! You just wait for the time of your death!"
