Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 100: The victory
The sky slowly began to turn bright, the fight that started that night still lingered even when the sun had shone.
Moore village - the site of a battle between the eighth prince's army and the forces supporting the third prince - is now turned into a mass cemetery. There were so many corpses lying among the buildings that were falling apart.
Hem!
"I don't think besides the three holy warriors, there's still one more holy warrior. Could it be that the third prince was getting help from the Han Empire?" Clan Patriarch Liang-Liang Zu was already unable to continue the fight, he had to admit that the spear-headed young man was stronger compared to him.
It would not be wrong if he thought Zhou Fan was from the Han Empire, having reached the holy warriors at a very young age. Even in the Han Empire such talent was extremely rare.
"I must escape from here, somehow the fate of the Liang Clan if I die." Liang Zu began to think about escaping, he no longer thought about the eighth prince's offer nor the relationship between them.
In such a position, safety is paramount. What is cooperation, what is trust and loyalty. In the face of death, all will fade.
Relationships are only based on profit, there is no profit for what is maintained. It is better to immediately go and accept the loss before the loss gets more unimaginable.
Slowly Liang Zu folded his hands back, he took out a teleportation token. When the token was in the hands, a smile was emanated.
But just as his hand was about to operate the token, an attack hit his body.
Bang out!
Liang Zu was thrown, his body falling dragged a few steps.
"Uhukis... " The old man did not try to get up, he glanced at the token in his right hand.
However, a foot puked the token until it was smashed into pieces.
Liang Zu's face turned pale, he slowly looked up.
"..."
Seeing Zhou Fan being right near him, the old man let out a heavy sigh. "You can kill me" he said, stretching out his arms, as if resigned to death.
Zhou Fan squinted, wasn't it a moment ago that the desire to live this man was very high, why was it suddenly gone. Very suspicious!
However Zhou Fan would not miss this opportunity just like that, he swung a spear and prepared to behead Liang Zu.
"If it's death you're hoping for, I'll grant you." Zhou Fan shook off the spear and aimed at Liang Zu's neck.
Liang Zu smiled faintly, implied an irrational plan. "If you want my life, even if I die, I won't let you live."
With that Liang Zu smashed a black-colored pouch into the ground surface.
A BLAR!
The explosion was quite deafening, making the fight around stop for a while.
"Young master... " The Two Twin Axes exclaimed in surprise, an extremely violent explosion, could it be that Zhou Fan was able to survive?
They did not know if their young master could survive the explosion.
Smoke still closed the view, so no one knew the fate of the people around the incident. But slowly the black smoke faded, revealing the body of an old man who was splattered with terrible conditions.
While within a dozen steps, a young man walked over with a red-furred wolf.
Looking at the figure, the Two Twin Axes smiled. They were right, how could the young master be defeated so easily. The enemy played a devious way, their young master had been one step ahead. That's why they're willing to follow him.
A different response was shown by some old men who were fighting with Song Dayi. Their faces were instantly pale looking at the corpse of Patriarch Liang whose only remaining flesh was strewn about.
How horrible!
...
Time passed, and the sun was shining. The battle was over, the Chen City army successfully came out as the victor. Unfortunately, several people, including the eighth prince, fled.
"How could the eighth prince escape?" Patriarch Song asked some important figures in the army.
An old man said, "It's all my fault, Eunuch Yuan is too strong. I am the only one-star saint fighter unable to deal with it. He took advantage of my negligence and moved quickly to disappear with the teleportation token. Before that he did not forget to bring the eighth prince, even the third prince was injured because of him."
The old man was the Patriarch of the Heavenly Heart Clan. He felt guilty because his negligence made the enemy flee. But that was not the intention in him.
"This was also not the patriarch's fault, although the eighth prince managed to escape. The strength of his army is definitely weakening, this remains a victory for us." Zhou Fan tried to mediate.
Patriarch Song momentarily thought, it is true that this young man before him said. The eighth prince's army that had managed to escape was at least a few dozen people, at least in this way the emperor's seat had been within the grasp of the third Shao Mingrui-prince.
"Good nephew, you will be the next emperor." Patriarch Song patted Shao Mingrui on the shoulder.
Shao Mingrui smiled, he vaguely nodded. "This is the victory of all of us, without all of you this would never have been achieved."
Everyone nodded and exclaimed ria. It was a big day for them, especially Shao Mingrui who established himself as the crown prince.
"Brother, you have helped me a lot. If there's anything I can do, I won't hesitate to do it. Of course as long as I can." Shao Mingrui walked over to Zhou Fan. Without him, it is certain that he will not walk the path he is going through at this time.
If anyone asked who was the most meritorious, Shao Mingrui would not hesitate to say that it was Zhou Fan-his brother. Everyone should know how big the role of the young man in his achievements.
A month passed and word of Shao Mingrui's victory had spread throughout the entire territory of the Shao Empire.
Many do not expect that who will continue the throne is the third prince, whereas previously the most likely is the first prince and also the eighth prince.
The news of the third prince's brother coming as a hero and fighting like a great general made everyone call him the Legend. But no one knows who the Legend really is.
In a large room, several people were gathering. One of them was Zhou Fan.
"This is a great victory, everyone should celebrate." A woman said amid the silence that struck. His round face with thin bangs closed his forehead, becoming the highlight of the entire room.
She was Lan Ning, the eldest daughter of the chief of the Mantis Tribe.
"Not in a hurry, the real pasta was the moment where Mingrui had been confirmed as the heir to the throne." Zhou Fan said, making everyone nod.
Lan Ning could only smile wryly, "But at least we can party tonight, it's impossible after returning to Hubei City just to be quiet not to do some celebration."
"What Ning'er said was not wrong. We can party tonight, with dinner and of course some wine jars that's more than enough." Great General Cheng said with a laugh.
Shao Mingrui only nodded after hearing the words of his father-in-law, and there was no harm in partying a little to celebrate victory even though it was already a month late.
