The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 19 ~ Following Black Shadow
...HAPPY READING...
...----------------...
Zhang Ziyi jumped avoiding Zhang Wui's sword libation. Even so, Zhang Wui did not want to take it off just like that. The man darted to follow every where the boy was.
A heavy fight happened. Zhang Ziyi was forced to continue defending, while Zhang Wui attacked ferociously. Aside from the age difference, the difference in cultivation was also what made Zhang Ziyi even more overwhelmed in the face of Zhang Wui. Where, Zhang Ziyi was at the Swordsman realm of stage 7 while Zhang Wui had broken through to the Sky Realm.
A few moments later, the sword used by Zhang Ziyi began to show a rift, before it finally broke.
Soon Zhang Ziyi took some distance.
"Damn!"
The young man was intending to take out the Heavenly Dragon sword from his spatial ring. But there was no time anymore, because Zhang Wui who was currently darting was about to attack him again. Zhang Ziyi himself had no time to react. He tried to avoid it, but he lost quickly.
There was nothing he could do, other than protect his face using his arms.
The tring!
The sound of the two swords meeting each other rang out a shrill voice. Zhang Ziyi reopened both of his eyes. He could see for the first time, the two blades of sword eyes that were about to hit his face.
"Dad!" Zhang Ziyi turned his head towards the sword owner who turned out to be his father.
Smiling for a moment at Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Mao then turned to Zhang Wui and said, "Didn't you see your limits. Where is your pride as a cultivator? Attacking the younger ones, isn't it a shame?"
Piqued. Zhang Wui then raised his sword and rejected Zhang Mao's sword.
"What is your business?"
"Tch, Zhang Wui, if you dare, you can face me before you face Ziyi'er!"
Zhang Wui stared intently at Zhang Mao. However, he was met with a sharp look by Zhang Mao.
"Huhhh!"
Saving his sword, Zhang Wui then turned around and stepped leaving Zhang Mao as well as Zhang Ziyi. The red aura that had originally surrounded him, slowly but surely faded away before disappearing completely, fusing with the wind. Not without reason, the old man relented. Because Zhang Mao's cultivation was currently one level above him.
Once upon a time, the two had fought for the sake of getting something unclear. The fight between the two was also fierce. To destroy the place where the two men fought. However, in the end, Zhang Wui was defeated as well by Zhang Mao. Not only did the man lose to Zhang Mao, even twice did they fight, but Zhang Wui always lost.
"Don't think I'll just take you off, trashy young man!" zhang Wui muttered before jumping over the roof and then disappearing.
The clan members from earlier no one dared to raise a talk. Those who had originally blasphemed Zhang Mao and Zhang Ziyi were made to shut up. His feelings were mixed, between shame, annoyance and regret.
After the departure of Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Mao, everyone also disbanded. The elders sitting lined up on the podium also disappeared one by one.
***
"Dad, can you explain ... why does Uncle Zhang Wui hate you so much? Also why is the fight between me and Zhang Fei, who was originally just an ordinary challenge, why would it even be like a bet?"
It seemed that Zhang Mao was hesitant to explain about Zhang Ziyi's question. Originally he had no intention of telling her, but since Zhang Ziyi was constantly urging her, then there was no other choice. He also began to tell about the events that had recently happened to him.
Zhang Mao explained that after Zhang Ziyi disappeared that time, slowly bad things happened to him as well as Zhang Hai. One by one, the problems come on gradually. Up to the peak is a challenge or can be said to bet between their son's fights.
Zhang Mao himself realized that the problem could not be separated from Zhang Wui. Every day Zhang Wui terrorized him with all sorts of things. Demanding her to relinquish the position as the head of the Zhang branch clan, and leave it to Zhang Wui.
Zhang Mao once came to Zhang Wui. But it ended with her being humiliated by the man. Some of the elders had betrayed and supported Zhang Wui. From there the bets took place. Where if Zhang Ziyi lost to Zhang Fei then his position as the head of the Zhang Clan branch in Star City would be handed over to Zhang Wui.
Hearing Zhang Mao's story, Zhang Ziyi clenched his palm hard. Both her eyebrows are furrowed. It was obvious that the young man was carrying with him anger.
"Dad, I'll teach that guy a lesson. Or if I have to, I'll kill him." Zhang Ziyi said confidently. Even so, Zhang Mao did not take Zhang Ziyi's words seriously just now. According to him Zhang Ziyi's confession was merely a confession of a teenager who would intermittently change.
"Ziyi'er, even if you have great strength, it will be very difficult to defeat that man. Moreover, there were some elders who were behind him." Zhang Mao reminded Zhang Ziyi.
"You don't have to worry, I'll be fine. If necessary I will kill all those who dare to betray!"
Zhang Mao could only smile faintly seeing the earnestness of his Son's heart.
"As much as you are Ziyi'er!"
Zhang Mao patted Zhang Ziyi on the shoulder. Then quickened his footsteps, entering the house before them. He did not think too much about what Zhang Ziyi had just said. What was important was that the young man had saved his position and restored his good name. Moreover, that young man had also made him extremely proud. Convinced and trusting that Zhang Hai would feel very, very happy to see his son return.
At night, finish eating. Zhang Ziyi entered his room. Open the window door and let the night wind blow in his room. Zhang Ziyi tried to cultivate and absorb the natural energy there.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the young man manifested his three dantians. The natural energy in the surroundings began to suck in his body. Through the Meridian pathway, natural energy was brought to his dantian.
The natural energy in the surroundings of Zhang Ziyi's room was so little, that the young man chose to stop his cultivation after a while.
He got up and walked to close the window. Because the day has shown late at night.
The night wind suddenly blew very hard, blowing Zhang Ziyi's long hair up to the young man's waist. At that time he could see a shadow resembling someone in the darkness of the night. Even so, Zhang Ziyi was also not so sure of his sight. He thought that the figure he saw was just a shadow of human-like objects.
But for a moment he noticed. The figure seemed to move and move places.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Ziyi then activated his Eagle Eye skill. Trying to make sure it's clearer. Unfortunately, Zhang Ziyi's Eagle Eye skill didn't work very well. Because the skill can only give the effect of slowing time.
"It looks like I need to raise this Eagle Eye skill to the second level. So that I can see distant things clearly. Even in the dark of the night!" muttered Zhang Ziyi.
The young man then jumped out of the window of the room. Darting at high speed, chasing after that figure who also seemed to run dodging his pursuit.
