Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 26: They are the Dalang
Sound valley.
"It's getting suspicious." Zhang Yu watched with serious eyes the group of black-clothed people that was in front of him.
The group that was previously still moving fast was now stopped at one point which was quite roomy. They seemed to be talking about something, pointing at a few places and then returning to discuss.
Not long after that one of them swung his hand out something from the storage ring. When he saw clearly, Zhang Yu's forehead slowly shriveled. His eyes twitched and definitely his facial expression became gloomy.
"Metal Tube?!"
Zhang Yu could barely say a word. His eyes stared intently at the dozens of black-robed people.
"It turns out the Jiang clan is behind all this!"
From the beginning they were very suspicious. Especially when they were heading to the valley of sound. Zhang Yu guessed that something was wrong with them.
Now everything is proven. They're trouble. They were the masterminds behind the rampage of the spiritual beast herd that terrorized the Zhang Clan territory.
"Quickly fast! We must quickly activate this soul controlling device and immediately return to the clan."
"really. Lest anyone of the Zhang Clan know what we're doing, it'll be bad for us."
The man holding the metal tube, Jiang Zan, laughed disdainfully. "That's not gonna happen. Now everyone of the Zhang Clan was busy with the rampage of the spiritual beast herd in the northern valley. No one can come here."
Jiang Zan turned around with his arrogant face. The thirty-year-old man did not realize the glare of his sword-sharp eyes loved him from a distance.
"Prepare the place. I'm gonna start activating the soul control device."
A dozen people obeyed Jiang Zan's orders. They immediately prepared a place to put the soul-controlling tools.
They deliberately make a hidden place so that it can not be found easily. Dig a bit of soil then compose some new ones around it.
"It's ready! Now activate the soul control device."
Jiang Zan snorted. "Not you tell me I know either."
Jiang Zan's hand started to be Qi coated, he raised the soul controlling device preparing to activate it. However, while in the process of activating, a silhouette of light streaked across the soul controlling tool until it fell and shattered.
The mouth of the man was open. Their eyes were wide.
"Bad!" At one time they were angry. But there was also confusion on their faces.
The soul control device is not something that is easy to obtain. Once destroyed, it cannot be used. Of course, if this were to be heard by the patriarch, then all of them would be gone.
Shutt...
One more power energy once again came from the same direction.
A dozen people jumped in compactly avoiding the attack. Gradually they raised their faces and stared at the same point.
"Get out!" yelled Jiang Zan.
Zhang Yu smiled without hesitation. Hold on to the tree trunk, come out of hiding.
When they first saw Zhang Yu, they had been quiet for some time. Jiang Zan, he recognized who the figure in front of him was.
"Zhang Yu's! First winner of the Zhang Clan's maturity event."
"Sister Zan, do we have to get out of here?" whispered one of the people beside Jiang Zan.
Jiang Zan was still silent. His eyes looked at Zhang Yu and looked for any possible help from the Zhang Clan.
If there really is help, then the chances of survival are very small. But if it was only Zhang Yu himself, they could leave, or even ....
The smile on Jiang Zan's face grew wider setting one brilliant plan. He whispered to one friend to his right while pulling out the sword from the storage ring.
The friend at the side rounded his eyes. "Sister Zan, are you sure?"
"of course. Although this was the territory of the Zhang Clan, he was only alone. We have thirteen people, what is there to fear?"
They looked at each other and thought about this more maturely.
"That makes sense. We can't lose to him."
"Yes yes ... Let's face him!"
In an instant they all pulled out weapons. Both swords, daggers, and sticks. A real indescribable determination in their black pupils.
Jiang Zan, seeing Zhang Yu pull out a sword he smiled sinisterly. "If there's something you want to say, do it while you have the chance."
Huhhhhh...
"You think too much. That sentence should be for yourself. Is there anything you guys want to say? I'll give you one chance." Zhang Yu was very calm. Facing people like this don't take his words too seriously. Just turn it over and they will be emotionally charged.
Jiang Zan's face flushed like a rose bud. His eyes were filled with hatred. "Bad! You're really gonna regret it!"
"Groan!"
The call was like a drum as a sign of a fight. Thirteen people, including Jiang Zan ambushed intent on crippling Zhang Yu.
However, they are mistaken if they think they will end the fight quickly.
Zhang Yu twisted his body while swinging the sword of the universe. The power energy gathered together to form a ring and then expanded to throw out the thirteen ambushing people.
Bruck... Bruck...
They all fell!
But like not knowing the pain they all get back up.
"He just swung a light sword and we all fell down. Isn't he still at the expert level?" Jiang Zan gritted his teeth picking up his sword that had fallen.
Within the group of dozens of people of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Zan had the highest cultivation. The eight-star expert level.
Four people were exactly one level below him, while the other eight people were at the level of a six-star expert.
"Sister Zan, it seems we underestimated him too much. His cultivation is above us."
There was no need to be told Jiang Zan had already understood this point. But the problem was, if it was true that Zhang Yu had cultivation above them, wouldn't it be too terrifying considering his very young age?
Jiang Zan might not be a fortune teller or a psychic, but one thing was certain. Zhang Yu's existence would make the Jiang Clan degenerate.
"Sister Zan, we better get out of here and report it to the elders and patriarch."
Jiang Zan nodded. "You're right. For the time being there was no other choice but to flee. We go back and report the matter to the patriarch."
They plan to escape. Zhang Yu carved a smile on his thin lips, then raised his sword unleashing a murderous sword technique.
"Want to run? Don't think you can get out of here!"
The shadow of the red-coloured giant claw instantly shot towards five out of thirteen people.
Jiang Zan snorted coldly. A second later a silhouette of bells appeared protecting them from attack.
Blam it!
The red-colored shadow of the claw vanished into the fog. Jiang Zan laughed arrogantly. "You think using a killer sword technique is enough? The defense techniques of the Jiang Clan are not famous for nonsense."
"really?"
"..."
Jiang Zan's forehead shriveled at Zhang Yu's calm voice. He opened his eyelids wide.
Zhang Yu, this time he came up with a gold-colored fist silhouette.
Jiang Zan's face turned central. "No, wait! Don't come any closer ...."
Before he finished his sentence. Xhang Yu's stone fist technique had done its job.
Blam it!
The sound of a bang was then followed by a crack from the ground layer of the life bell.
After a very short pause, the bell was destroyed and the incoming force energy completed the water within the dam.
Booms!
That chaos of power energy blew away the thirteen groups of the Jiang Clan. They were all injured, and already looked helpless.
Zhang Yu walked over to Jiang Zan. "There's a farewell sentence?"
