Zhang Phoenix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zhang Phoenix a character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods. Zhang Phoenix is most notably known as "Uncle Zhang" due to being the uncle of Yellow Flying Tiger. At the time of Yellow Flying Tiger's escape from the capital and his arrival within the Upon-Highwater Pass, Zhang Phoenix would be featured for the first time. After Flying Tiger had asked for passage, and refused to head back to Morning Song, Zhang Phoenix would attack his cousin for his opposition towards the king. Upon Zhang Phoenix's rather quick defeat, he would attempt to use his One-Hundred-Crucible twin hammers against Flying Tiger; an action that truly resulted in failure. Upon his return to the pass's main camp, Zhang Phoenix would perform a plan to kill Yellow Flying Tiger with his subordinate, Akin Silver. However, Akin Silver's loyalty to Yellow Flying Tiger outwayed Zhang's, and he would thus allow Flying Tiger secret passage during the night. Once Zhang Phoenix had realized this, he would attack his subordinate but would only be cut down himself.
