The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 226 ~ Off??

Shui Bing slipped and almost fell down from the roof he was on at the moment. But someone immediately grabbed his hand. Her reflexes were hugging the person who grabbed her hand.

The eyes of the two met for a while. Time seems to stop moving. The two stared at each other for a long time.

The man was none other than Zhang Ziyi. Shui Bing himself was unwilling to turn his eyes away from the glare of his sharp eyes but felt warm to him.

"Miss Bing, are you okay?"

The question immediately awakened Shui Bing. His face hue has now turned red. Resisting the shame, and his heart was beating unbecause made by Zhang Ziyi.

"E–eh, te–thank you Brother Ziyi!" shui Bing said stammered, with a face turned away from Zhang Ziyi.

"Bing Sister!"

Zhang Ziyi instantly withdrew Shui Bing's hand, making the two of their faces meet again. It's even closer than before.

Shui Bing who was timid even the cat was unable to turn her face this time around.

"Are you okay?" zhang Ziyi asked who saw Shui Bing's face blushing.

"Eh, i–it... I'm fine Brother Ziyi!" Shui Bing turned his face back.

"Big'er!" said softly Zhang Ziyi.

The call so made Shui Bing surprised him. Never did he think that Zhang Ziyi would call him that.

"Ka–kak Zi–!"

Shui Bing's voice stammered after hearing Zhang Ziyi's words calling him Bing'er. Her cheeks were blushing pink.

Zhang Ziyi smiled gently staring at Shui Bing's face. His outstretched hand touched Shui Bing's face to make the thump inside Shui Bing's chest even more spurring.

***

The top fifty match of the Inter Heirloom Tournament is back in today's title.

After the MC provided direction related to the rules in this round, the match was officially started.

Zhang Ziyi was currently sitting together with his comrades, including with Shui Bing himself. But Zhang Ziyi and Shui Bing were a bit far apart. It was nothing, but rather because of Shui Bing's shame and awkwardness towards Zhang Ziyi.

To forget the events of that night, it seemed to Shui Bing so difficult. So that the picture of last night's events still lingered in his mind.

"Hi Brother Ziyi!"

Everything moves in one direction. They could see Hei An coming along with a dark-clothed flat-faced man with her.

"Eh, Brother Hey!" zhang Ziyi's reply.

"Can I join you?" ask Hey An.

Zhang Ziyi did not immediately reply. He first threw his gaze at his comrades, who instead gave a flat response looking utterly stupid.

"Um, Alright! Please sit down." Zhang Ziyi invited Hei An to sit down with them.

"By pleasure."

Hei An leaned his butt on the chair and was right beside Zhang Ziyi.

"Miss Hey, what are you doing? You said you were just throwing water, but stuck here? Especially to sit down to join them!" said the flat-faced man who had previously come along with Hei An.

"Shen Lu, you shut up! If you want to join, join. And if you want to leave, then go, "hei An said with a lazy face and annoyed.

"Hoooooo!"

Shen Lu could only sigh at the reply from Hei An earlier. He also had no choice but to follow Hei An to join Zhang Ziyi's entourage.

"next match. The player with number 17!" echoed remarks from the MC on the arena stage.

Zhang Ziyi who knew that the number was his, then he immediately got up from his originally seated position.

"Brother Ziyi, Spirit!" said Hey An. Zhang Ziyi replied with a small smile. He turned his comrades for a moment, then flew towards the top of the arena.

Shortly after, the MCs again called for the next contestant who would be Zhang Ziyi's opponent.

The person called by his name flew over the arena. It was as fast as lightning and stopped right before Zhang Ziyi.

Whush!

The wind blew fiercely, carrying a golden aura with him.

The clothes that the man Zhang Ziyi was wearing in this round of fifty was so luxurious. He looks like a noble.

"I think I recognize you!" said it.

Zhang Ziyi furrowed his brows. Previously he had initially noticed the action of this opponent in previous rounds. This man should be included in the list of opponents who must be wary.

"How come you don't recognize me, while I've been performing on this stage for the past two days!" reply Zhang Ziyi.

"Curtain, you're looking for excuses too much. I know you as the enemy of our kingdom, even the enemy of the Sky Empire!"

Shang Yuan's remark did not make Zhang Ziyi surprised. Instead, he seemed ordinary.

"Good, you already know. Then there is no reason for me not to hurt you," Zhang Ziyi said coldly.

"I'm the one who's gonna make you disabled!"

Shang Yuan unleashed his power. He advanced first to attack Zhang Ziyi. With the sword being flowed by the golden energy, it flew violently towards Zhang Ziyi.

Dodge to the side. Zhang Ziyi had yet to take out the Heavenly Dragon sword from his spatial ring. I was holding Shang Yuan empty-handed.

Shang Yuan's tempo of motion was so fast, it was faster than the speed of light. Yet Zhang Ziyi was still able to keep up with it.

Kinggo!

Shang Yuan's sword struck the War God Armor. Both are moving backwards.

"Oh, apparently you were protected by the Armor. It's worth it that you're so confident in not taking out your sword to hold me back!" shang Yuan said.

Zhang Ziyi did not reply, but instead he stared intently at Shang Yuan.

The impact of the sword p

Shang Yuan who hit the War God Armor earlier, made Zhang Ziyi the center of attention.

Indeed Zhang Ziyi's previous opponents had never managed to touch Zhang Ziyi's body, so the existence of the Armor he could still hide. But this time it seems to have been broken.

"Alright, apparently you're waiting for me to destroy the armor!" back to Shang Yuan.

He shot back with an extremely fast.slashing directionally towards Zhang Ziyi, this time containing an energy greater than before.

Zhang Ziyi attempted to follow the direction of Shang Yuan's fighter. Although the stamp of times he felt a bit of distress, yet as much as possible he moved his body, to avoid Shang Yuan's sharp slash.

The sword shot rapidly towards Zhang Ziyi's head. His speed was so beyond Zhang Ziyi's own estimation.

Slassh!

The sword managed to land smoothly and instantly separated Zhang Ziyi's head from his body.

Shang Yuan stopped his actions. He stared at Zhang Ziyi's headless body that was still standing with a sinister gaze.

Engraved a cynical grin and full of arrogance from the corner of his lips.

"Hahaha, it turns out that only this is the ability of a person who had become a royal fugitive. He's nothing more than a street dog!" shang Yuan said contemptuously to Zhang Ziyi.

On the other hand, countless gazes of disbelief saw what was happening above the arena. No one would have expected that Zhang Ziyi would be that easy to defeat.

Including from Zhang Ziyi's comrades who were watching from the audience seats. They also do not believe what happened.

"Fucking guy. You dared to injure Brother Ziyi. I'm not letting you go!"

Emotional cries rang out from the audience. It was from Shui Bing. He immediately became the center of attention.

Shui Bing who did not accept, directly flew over the arena. Towards the headless body of Zhang Ziyi who had now been lying on the arena floor.

The momentary silent atmosphere.

"Sadly, only a beautiful girl defends a weak lover... Too bad a pretty girl, she doesn't suit you. What if I change his position?" Shang Yuan licked his lips.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Shui Bing advanced with a sword pointed forward. Intend to hit Shang Yuan's body.

But not yet the sword reached Shang Yuan's body, had been first tepis by someone, to make the sword was thrown.

Looks like a sturdy man, with the armor he wears. The man himself was Shang Yuan's personal bodyguard.

Shortly after, several people came to the arena, and surrounded Shui Bing. The spear was pointed at the girl.

Seeing the Shang Kingdom warriors coming around Shui Bing, Shui Shan as well as the others did not accept. They then jumped onto the arena and protected Shui Bing.

The atmosphere is tense. No one spoke, making silence created for a while.

In the arena, Zhang Zhili and the others were taking positions ready to fight. So too with the Shang Empire.

It seems that the fight will be soon.
