Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 28's. The VI Empire Tournament
Once in the morning as usual, before exiting his room, Zhang En always practiced closed cultivation as usual. Finished cultivating, Zhang En instantly prepared himself and stopped for a while at the Xuan family's restaurant to eat.
Finished paying his meal fee, Zhang En headed straight for the emperor's palace while enjoying the morning air during the journey.
Today, the atmosphere where the tournament is held looks very crowded like never before. Upon reaching the entrance gate, Fang Yao and Ching Li and some of their friends, were seen there waiting for his arrival. Seeing that Zhang En had already arrived, Fang Yao and Ching Li immediately approached Zhang En.
"Brother Zhang En. Finally you came as well" Ching Li said as she was followed by Fang Yao from behind.
"Brother Ching Li, Brother Fang Yao. Sorry to keep you two waiting for so long" Zhang En replied as he patted the two of them on the shoulder.
"Brother Zhang, we are with some disciples from the blue cloud sect to watch the match and enliven the tournament today" Fang Yao said as he turned his gaze toward the disciple behind them.
"Greetings to Zhang En's brother" they said in unison while saluting.
""Brother Zhang, let's go inside to find a place" Fang Yao said.
They all immediately entered the tournament field and immediately looked for a seat and sat there.
Participants who won from the previous round and made it into the top 10, will do the next fight to get into the round of 5.
Main seats. It is seen that the emperor is sitting in the main seat accompanied by the Empress and Princess of the kingdom along with the nobles and royal officials who sit in the back seat.
Zhang En, who had accidentally looked towards the emperor's seat, was half-dead shocked and nearly fell down from his chair.
Fang Yao and Ching Li felt astonished at Zhang En's possessed demeanor. Actually, Zhang En was like that because he saw a woman next to emperor Zhu and empress.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" The two of them asked puzzledly at Zhang En's strange behavior.
"Ah.. There is nothing" Zhang En replied as he glanced towards the main seat.
"Brother Zhang, it looks like you are hiding something to the two of us" Ching Li said curiously.
Zhang En who was still looking at the main seat, Fang Yao was followed by Ching Li also directed their gaze there. They finally understood the situation with Zhang En's attitude just now.
"Brother Zhang, don't tell me you're interested in the woman next to the emperor" Fang Yao said suddenly awakening Zhang En from the shock he was in.
"T-no brother Ching, I just.."
Before Zhang En finished his words, Fang Yao also commented to Zhang En.
"Ha.Ha.Ha. Brother Zhang, do you like emperor Zhu's daughter?" asked Fang Yao.
"What!!! Emperor's Daughter? She's the emperor's daughter?" Zhang En said.
Zhang En did not expect as the woman they were referring to was the woman he had met at the meal in the Xuan family's restaurant and also the one who met him at the moment in the changing room after defeating Ching Li.
"Yes. She was the only daughter of Emperor Zhu. The Xuan Clan was a large clan that existed in the empire as well as the long-established No 1 Clan and the ancestor of the Xuan family was the founder of the empire. Emperor Zhu Xuan is from the main Clan of the Xuan Clan" Fang Yao explained.
"The emperor's daughter is one disciple of the Red Dragon Sect" Ching Li continued.
"But dear, the emperor's daughter is very difficult to approach. In fact, many have been vying to get close and get his love but rejected raw even he beat him mercilessly" said Ching Li with a wry smile.
"Brother Ching Li was also once battered by him" Fang Yao said with a laugh.
Zhang En was slightly goosebumps hearing the emperor's daughter's extremely frightening demeanor. Zhang En finally learned the identity of the woman who turned out to be the emperor's daughter. But he was a little unsure about the story of the two men because the attitude shown by the woman when meeting her was very different.
Suddenly, their conversation stopped because the leader of the event was already standing on the podium to open the tournament.
"Turnament today we'll start soon. Participants who have entered the top 10 will return to compete to determine the participants who will enter the next round. Participants who win and qualify in this round will be participants who get the top 5 and will continue the semi-final round"
"Today's ceremony begins" the leader said, marking and returning to his seat.
The jury who refereed each arena immediately took to the stage while voting the number of participants who will soon compete.
This time, Zhang En's number became one of the participants who advanced first in this round to compete.
"Number 24 against number 9" said the referee.
Zhang En went straight up the stage, the two of them saluted each other before fighting. The man who was Zhang En's opponent wore a black robe and on the chest of his robe was seen in the image of a bird.
Zhang En immediately glanced at the robe worn by the man who was his opponent and it turned out that the clothes worn by the man were exactly the same as the clothes worn by the group that massacred his village.
Zhang En instantly clenched his hands and tried to hold back his anger to try to hold back the emotions that were currently controlling him.
"Crank brother Zhang's spirit, you must have won" Fang Yao and Ching Li shouted from the audience seats. Fang Yao and Ching Li who were encouraging Zhang En instantly came to a realization with Zhang En's face looking red.
"I'm afraid that Zhang En will kill his opponent" Ching Li told Fang Yao. Fang Yao simply kept silent as he did not respond to Ching Li's words as he focused on the fight that was about to explode above the arena.
"I'm Wei Gu a disciple of the black crow sect. Please guide him" he said with a slight dismissive tone and sounded arrogant.
"I am Zhang En from a small village north of the empire" Zhang En replied in a slightly high tone.
"Dameless.. Only one who came from a small village was arrogant" Wei Gu replied with a sharp note.
Zhang En did not reply to Wei Gu's words and instantly let out his fighting aura as well as took out his sword.
Aushhhhh!
The air around them became rising and hot as a result of the Qi emitted by Zhang En and suppressed Wei Gu. Unresponsive, Wei Gu also took out a spear and let out his aura to compensate for Zhang En's already-pressing aura first.
Hiiaatt!!!
Zhang En immediately jumped to perform the opening attack to attack Wei Gu.
TRANGS!!TRANGS!!TRANGS!!
The clash of the weapons they both fought against each other and carried out an attack. Zhang En who had been overwhelmed by the slight anger he had in his heart attacked Wei Gu without giving room to his opponent giving a counterattack.
Zhang En flew away using the science of lightening his body to make a rotating movement in the air while giving a slash. Wei Gu could only fend off the sword that was always pointing towards his neck while looking down and giving a kick to Zhang En's body.
The fight this time became the spectacle that attracted everyone's attention the most. Zhang En again displayed his unpredictable high-level sword stance.
"The Sky-Splitting Sword"
"The Spear's Destruction Steps"
The two of them both made leaps and flew upwards while taking out their moves.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
Zhang En and Wei Gu were both thrown and fell back onto the arena. Explosion after explosion continued to be heard and they again carried out their next attack.
