Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 253: Coming By Its Owner.
It had been ten days that Zhang Yu had tried to obtain a clue about the headquarters of the Spirit Palace. But until this moment he didn't get it. Even Saturn could not find more information about them. It was as if the Spirit Palace had no gaps to find.
"Do you want to order more wine?" the waiter asked, noticing that Zhang Yu's wine jug was empty.
"May, give me the same as arak before," Zhang Yu said. He began to sigh while staring out the window. Seeing a crowd of people passing by on the main street.
When the approximate servant came back with the new wine, Zhang Yu's attention was distracted by a man wearing a black robe. His tightly-covered clothes inevitably made Zhang Yu suspicious.
Zhang Yu first finished his wine before leaving. He followed the black-robed man who then took him to the outskirts of the city.
The situation is very suspicious. Zhang Yu made sure not to miss the trail while keeping his distance.
However, suddenly the man he was following disappeared after just entering the forest territory.
Zhang Yu stopped, he tried to observe. At that moment he felt like there were dozens of eyes lurking from a hidden place.
Justright. Shortly after, dozens of people came out of hiding. Their distinctive black clothes, Zhang Yu could confirm they were people of Spirit Palace.
Yan Baufan stood behind them, slowly walking forward with a look on his face.
"Aren't you looking for us all this time? Now I, Yan Baufan, am here. Why are you just quiet?" yan Baufan said confidently.
He ignored the warning Gao Fengshui gave and came to lure Zhang Yu to fight with him.
Yan Baufan could not believe that Zhang Yu was so strong that he could not defeat him. They were both half-eternal and he had obtained the second heaven grace.
Zhang Yu was silent not out of fear. But just did not expect this was the Spirit Palace's plan to trap him. However, isn't this the same as making matters easier?
"Zhang Yu, he wasn't the one who showed up back then." Long Shen looked at Yan Bauban and tried to compare with the aura that the man in the teleportation portal had.
"So he's not the leader of the Spirit Palace?" zhang Yu muttered softly as he looked at Yan Bauban.
"I'm pretty sure they're two different people."
Zhang Yu nodded in understanding. It is fitting that Yan Baufan looks still fit and powerful. If he were the leader of the Spirit Palace, he should still be in a weakened state.
"Strike him!" yan Baufan exclaimed to dozens of his men.
They attacked together, but it was very easy for Zhang Yu to defeat them. Zhang Yu moved zigzagging while shaking the sword of the universe, everyone he passed by was instantly killed instantly.
Yan Baufan smacked the tree trunk beside him to shreds.
"It's useless!" his yell.
A second later Yan Baufan released energy from his sword swing. Destroying what was in its path was like a tsunami wave.
Blars!
But when a gigantic fist shadow suddenly appeared, that power energy was instantly scattered.
Yan Baufan gritted his teeth furiously. He clasped his sword firmly, then shot out like a spear.
Blars!
The tree that was behind Zhang Yu shattered into fragments. But the attack did not touch Zhang Yu at all who was able to dodge.
Yan Baufan's eyes were getting red. His head was about to explode from burning anger. With emotions already so high, he used one attack that became his mainstay.
"Heaven Reversing Technique!"
Yan Baufan jumped to his intended spot while immersing his sword into the ground. He swung his sword which suddenly became huge towards Zhang Yu. Removing a layer of ice that spread out and making Zhang Yu's steps restrained.
"It's time!"
Seeing that his attack had managed to slow down Zhang Yu's movements, Yan Bauban carried out the last combination of his attacks.
He raised his sword, then swung it while jumping.
Blars!
Although Zhang Yu managed to jump from his spot to dodge the attack. But Yan Baufan still had two such attacks.
The second attack was still able to be avoided, but the third attack of Yan Baufan's movement was getting faster which made Zhang Yu have to withstand his attack head-on.
Blars!
"Did it just get here to your ability? It was really not up to expectations," Yan Baufan said.
Zhang Yu smiled sneered. He replied, "I haven't even started yet, you better not be so confident."
Yan Baufan clenched his hands. His eyes were shining sharply with anger. "Drag! I'm really gonna kill you!"
Seeing Yan Baufan switch places, Zhang Yu gathered the energy in his sword. As their distance got closer, Zhang Yu took out a murderous sword technique.
At the same time Yan Baufan also let out a powerful slash silhouette. He called it the demonic slash technique.
When her attack collided at one similar point, a flash of light appeared right in the middle. Then there were sparks and a very strong explosion.
But do not think the two have stopped after issuing the attack. As soon as the smog faded, the two darted and exchanged dozens of attacks in an instant.
It moves like a shadow, and is hard to catch by the eye.
Zhang Yu realized that he would have a very hard time defeating Yan Bauban without using a soul attack. Therefore, when Yan Bauban was so focused with their exchange, Zhang Yue created a spiritual needle then placed dozens of those needles behind the surrounding trees.
Zhang Yu did not attack directly with a soul attack because the enemy must already have a plan to anticipate it.
And that's true. Yan Baufan was already carrying a barrier that could fend off spiritual needle attacks. It was in his clothing pocket and he was about to take it out when Zhang Yu attacked him with the soul needle technique of the conqueror belonging to the Xiao Clan.
It was really unfortunate because Zhang Yu had already guessed it. Even when Yan Baufan pretended to give him a chance, Zhang Yu was not provoked into using it.
"Damn! Did he really underestimate me by not taking out his soul attack?" inner Yan Baufan.
Zhang Yu smiled sneering at him. "What's wrong? Why are you just sitting there?"
"He really underestimated me! The insolent! I'm gonna kill him!" yan Baufan.
Yan Baufan attacked blindly and exposed a huge gap in his defense.
Zhang Yu smiled in silence. From the beginning he had already judged Yan Bauban's character to be very easily provoked. Therefore he was trying to provoke so that Yan Bauban was angry and explosive.
However, this seemed to be a double-edged blade as Yan Bauban's attack became stronger.
"Can you just avoid it? Where is your soul attack! Show me!" yan Baufan continued to launch an attack.
The vast land that was there was completely wiped out. Uncompassionate or trying to withstand his attacks.
At that moment Zhang Yu raised his sword. Five spiritual needles were created in front of his face which made the smile on Yan Baufan's face expand.
"Finally you took it out" he said.
Yan Baufan never thought that the attack was actually just a diversion. The original spiritual needles had been on guard since the beginning on some tree trunks.
So when Yan Baufan took out the soul attack barrier for the spiritual needle that was in front, he was unable to react when the spiritual needle pierced his body from behind.
The slap!
The slap!
Not just one, but dozens of spiritual needles instantly entered his body.
The barrier that was issued was useless. He froze in place with his eyes glaring perfectly.
"W-how can you?!" Yan Baufan forced a conversation, but only a few words and instantly vomited fresh blood.
Not much to waste of time Zhang Yu directly pierced Yan Baufan's body with his sword. He took out his sword and storage ring and pushed his body to the ground.
"Excessive self-confidence is a boomerang. You shouldn't be so confident." Zhang Yu just left their corpses after taking what he could take.
Long Shen said, "Let's see the storage ring. There may be a map to their base."
Zhang Yu opened every ring there was. Treasure isn't his goal, he's just hoping to find clues to uncover the whereabouts of their headquarters.
However, out of the dozens of storage rings none of them kept such things.
