Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 297: He Jiao Kidnapped
"Black Dragon!"
Gao Ran suddenly raised his sword while exclaiming quite loudly. Shortly afterwards came the silhouette of a black-colored dragon circling above his head. It was quite large with glowing red eyes.
Zhang Yu who witnessed was certainly surprised by the appearance of the technique. He could not possibly forget the dragon attack issued by Gao Feng Shui, the leader of the Spirit Palace.
"It's clear! He killed Gao Feng Shui!" inner Gao Ran. He deliberately brought out the technique that Gao Feng Shui's mainstay, the Black Dragon, to see Zhang Yu's response. After seeing his reaction, it was certain that the man in front of him was the one who had killed his sister.
"Dead you!"
Gao Ran flowed his Qi which contained fire power on the black dragon. Instantly the entire body of the black dragon became a blaze of flames. Then, not wasting much time the fire dragon moved to where Zhang Yu was quickly.
Blam it!
The head of the fire dragon was shattered when Zhang Yu took out a stone fist technique. However, it only takes a short time to reshape it so that its form is perfect again.
Groars!
The fire dragon let out an echoing sound. His open mouth let out a terrifying heat. Even the plants around, ranging from grass or trees, dry immediately.
"..."
"Killer Sword Technique!" Zhang Yu could see that it was not only him who would be affected by the heat. So his main priority right now is to destroy it. He swung the universal sword, creating a shadow of a gigantic claw that then shot towards the fire dragon that was still spouting hot air.
Jamb...
The mouth of the fire dragon instantly closed as the shadow of the claw punched out extremely hard. But as if not to just disappear, the fire dragon spread heat when his body could not survive.
Blaars!
This hot spring was even twice as strong as before. There was also a vapor pressure that instantly blew away dozens of people who were around.
"Where is he?" Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes as Gao Ran disappeared again. He thought there would be another surprise attack, but who would have thought that the aura of his existence had disappeared.
"Zhang Yu, is he leaving?" wang Chen asked who also could not find Gao Ran's whereabouts.
For a moment Zhang Yu looked around, seeing how the fight was still going on, shouldn't he still be here?
"Teacher, do you know where He Jiao and his mother are right now?" ask Zhang Yu.
The clueless Wang Chen was certainly confused by Zhang Yu's question. However, his eyes instantly opened when recalling the conversation between the three people earlier.
"Really! They're the only mother and daughter pair in the academy!"
"Zhang Yu, they're in the inner court! Go there as soon as two people have gone to look for them."
Too bad, when Zhang Yu reached the inner court, He Jiao's residence was already destroyed and burnt.
"He Jiao!" yelled Zhang Yu.
A few steps into Zhang Yu's courtyard saw someone lying down. "Aunt Han Rui!"
Zhang Yu approached him. Tried to check his breath but was very weak with a heavy wound on his abdomen.
"..."
"He Jiao ...." Slowly Han Rui opened her eyes. He held Zhang Yu's hand as he continued muttering his son's name.
"Me-they got He Jiao! He Jiao ...."
Zhang Yu hadn't even said anything until he heard the sound of explosions from the fighting scene. Not just once, but dozens or even dozens of explosions from the same place.
Zhang Yu's face froze. Without a second thought he held Han Rui and went back to the fighting ground.
As soon as he reached the outer court, Zhang Yu witnessed for himself how the dozens of fighting groups suddenly exploded and died. They seemed unaware of it, they were not ordinary troops, they were troops that had been prepared to be used as diversions.
Although the explosion was not as powerful as a half-eternal level attack, but the sheer number of them present in each place actually left a part of the region severely damaged.
Not even a few disciples died from being too close to the army of the eradication group that exploded.
"Teacher," Zhang Yu approached the guru who looked drenched in blood. But not his own blood, but the blood of the eradication group.
"Hows it? Can you prevent them?"
Hearing the teacher's question made Zhang Yu speechless. He glanced towards his back which only Han Rui had. While He Jiao may have been brought by Gao Ran. That was why Gao Ran suddenly left in a fight. He has got his goal.
Zhang Yu also explained to Wang Chen who looked curious. Who was the group dressed in black and the reason they came to the academy.
Wang Chen's face paled when he heard it. "So they still have a connection with the Spirit Palace that you destroyed a few years ago? Now they're back to starting that failed plan?"
"It's useless!" decak Zhang Yu blamed himself.
He blamed himself for not being aware of the matter since he first received the letter of the third elder. He blamed himself for not being able to stop them from obtaining the soul controlling technique.
"bitch. It's not your fault. Why do you keep blaming yourself? You've been trying really hard. You at least managed to prevent this academy from being destroyed from the hands of the eradication group." Long Shen who was in the pocket of the robe was trying to calm Zhang Yu down. Long Shen himself could see firsthand how Zhang Yu's efforts had not even rested since the trip from the Ning Empire. That's not something everyone can do. Zhang Yu had already tried as hard as he could.
However, Zhang Yu still felt that all of this was his responsibility. The sense of regret and guilt was clearly visible from the expression on his face.
