Red Festival - Part 9

When Sun Zhou Yi's name appeared, the crowd erupted in cheers. So far, Sun Zhou Yi's performance had not been the most eye-catching.

He never summoned his famous Ki Sword. He defeated his opponent with his strange footwork and frontal attack. The spectators did not see the Ki Sword, and in this match they hoped that Wei Tian could force Sun Zhou Yi to use his Ki Sword. So they cheered enthusiastically, wanting to see the Ki Sword with their own eyes. Swords that stopped level 10 disasters.

"Tsk! I will crush him and spread despair!" Wei Tian clicked his tongue and licked his lips.

The cheers directed at his opponent did not please him. He did not like this atmosphere.

Sun Zhou Yi entered the arena with a smile on his face. He heard the spectators calling his name, so he waved his hand to the spectators while carrying a flag on his shoulder.

By this time, people had become accustomed to the antics of the Heero Academy members.

As usual, Sun Zhou Yi took a sword from the weapon rack before climbing up to the stage.

Once on the stage, he met his opponent for this match. Wei Tian looked as carefree as ever, lazily gazing at Sun Zhou Yi with a disdainful look.

As someone from the outer regions, and also as a hero who had risen in rank from the wood class. Sun Zhou Yi was already used to receiving such a look, so he did not mind. He smiled and nodded at Wei Tian instead of feeling offended.

"Aren't you happy that these people are cheering for you?" Wei Tian opened his mouth and asked with a grin.

Sun Zhou Yi nodded and replied truthfully, "Yes, I am happy,"

"Then I will take that happiness away from you! I will crush you thoroughly and show these people that you are nothing but a weakling!" Wei Tian made a shocking declaration.

At least, it shocked the spectators as his words were broadcast to the entire arena.

Sun Zhou Yi just smiled and nodded his head. He did not take Wei Tian's words seriously.

Meanwhile, from the audience seat, Heero focused his gaze on Wei Tian. His eyes turned blue as he used Mystical Eyes on Wei Tian. He wanted to know what this guy was doing, but he was shocked by what he saw.

Dark Energy blazed in Wei Tian's body, Wei Tian was not a human, but a specter.

Heero immediately rose from his seat. The impulse in his heart rose, he wanted to kill the specter immediately. But Heero suppressed his impulsiveness.

Hong Yu was startled by her husband's reaction. She pulled at his hand and asked in a worried tone, "What's wrong?"

Heero calmed his restlessness and sat back, shaking his head, "Nothing..."

Tsk, so this is how Shadow Fang infiltrated the Fighter Anteriority...

He took a deep breath and scanned his surroundings. To his surprise, he found seven specters among the spectators. His seat was in the lower tier, so he scanned the entire lower tier.

His blue eyes turned to purple, and his surroundings changed as well. Everything turned grey except for the internal energy.

He could see coloured energy, similar to the Ki that blazed in normal humans, mixed with the grey energy. The colourful energy was dimmed, but underneath the colourful energy, pitch-black dark energy was blazing.

Among every hundred spectators, there were at least seven to ten specters. Thousands of specters slipped into the arena, and these specters were only in the lower tier seat, what about the middle tier seat and the upper tier seat?

The number of specters was over ten thousand.

In the past, he would impulsively rush to the stage or yell at his disciple to kill Wei Tian. However, if he did that, it would only cause chaos.

The whole arena would turn into a battlefield if he or Sun Zhou Yi destroyed Wei Tian's disguise.

He was confident that he could protect his family, but what about the other spectators? Most of the spectators were ordinary people. They would be an easy target for the specters.

'I'm no longer a hero, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and watch these people get slaughtered...'

'Hah... I can't just watch these people die... At least I have to do something...'

After a moment of hesitation, Heero stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet!"

Hong Yu actually sensed something was wrong with her husband, but she said nothing because Heero did not seem to want to talk about it.

There was no way he could talk about it now. First of all, he did not want to worry his wife. Secondly, it would take a long time to explain everything.

He stood up and walked in the direction of Butcher Wang. Heero whispered something as he passed Butcher Wang.

When they reached the next exit, Butcher Wang asked, "What's wrong?"

Instead of answering Butcher Wang's question, Heero pointed at the eight people sitting among the spectators and ordered, "Examine them with Mystical Eyes!"

Butcher wang noded and activated his Mystical Eyes. Seeing these dangerous creatures sitting near his family, Butcher Wang's mouth fell open. "Listen to me! They are not the only ones..."

Heero pointed in another direction, then Butcher Wang realised that there were many specters among the spectators.

"So what's the plan?" Butcher Wang asked in a worried tone.

"First, we will clean up the specters here. Secretly... Then..."

Heero could only rely on his disciples to solve this crisis.

After hearing what Heero said, Butcher Wang nodded. Soon, these two people mingled with the other spectators.

Meanwhile, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue received a message from Heero. The message was only one sentence: "Get ready to fight and protect them!"

Both girls understood the "them" in the sentence, but they did not understand what Heero meant by "Get ready to fight! They were in the arena of the Core Region, protected by the Gold Class Heroes. It could be said that this was the safest place to be.

Bai Xin Yue raised her head and scanned the area. She was looking for Heero, but only found Kang Seo-Yeon.Even though they were confused by the message, they both nodded at each other.

Slowly, Bai Xin Yue's hand moved to the spear beside her, while Kang Seo-Yeon placed her red bow on her lap. They increased their vigilance, no longer concentrating on the fight.

Meanwhile, at the other seats, Heero was moving very fast. His figure was blurred by his fast movement. He sneaked up to the spectators and pulled the identified specter back with him.

The other spectators were so engrossed in the match that they did not notice that someone next to them had suddenly disappeared.

Butcher Wang did the same, his bizarre yet quick footwork fooling many eyes. The other spectators did not realize Butcher Wang who kidnapped and killed the dangerous specters.

The disciples and the master planned to eliminate all the ghosts silently. In fact, Musashi Hirata was a perfect fit for this job, but he was a participant, and he had a more important job to do later on.

Meanwhile, Sun Zhou Yi was unaware of the change in the arena. He raised his sword, ready to fight Wei Tian.

Bam! "Start!" Long Bin shouted.

Just as he was about to rush over, his gaze met Wei Tian's. He was surprised to see Wei Tian's eyes turn black.

But the surprise did not stop there, as the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

Right in front of him was the Wyvern King he had encountered in the second dungeon. His gaze met the hollow socket and a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Master killed that creature, how did it appear here?"

As soon as he realised something was wrong, he shook his head and cleared his mind. Soon, the Wyvern King disappeared from his sight, and what appeared in front of his eyes was Wei Tian's fist.

Sun Zhou Yi immediately ducked his head and avoided the fist. His move did not stop there, he hurriedly swung his sword forward.

Wei Tian easily dodged the sword by taking a big step back.

"Tsk, a top rank is surely different..." Wei Tian clicked his tongue in annoyance as his illusion was shattered before he could land a fist. The cheers grew louder as Sun Zhou Yi was the first to not be defeated by Wei Tian in a single move. The cheering only annoyed Wei Tian more.

Sun Zhou Yi raised his head and met Wei Tian's gaze once again. Just like before, as soon as he met Wei Tian's black eyes, the surrounding scene changed again.

But this time, it did not take long for Sun Zhou Yi to break out of the illusion. By the time he broke the illusion, Wei Tian was halfway to him.

Seizing the opportunity, he used his Nimble Step to get closer to Wei Tian. As for Wei Tian, he was shocked that Sun Zhou Yi was able to break his technique so quickly.

He tried to use the same technique for the third time. But this time, his technique failed.

Wei Tian stopped his steps and immediately retreated. A desperate look was plastered on his face.

However, Sun Zhou Yi did not stop his pursuit. Just as he was about to reach Wei Tian, Wei Tian rushed towards him. His speed doubled and a fist immediately appeared in front of his face.

Sun Zhou Yi was forced to use his sword to block the incoming blow.

Pang!

Sun Zhou Yi was pushed back by the blow. Just as he was about to rush over, he heard a commotion coming from the middle tier, west stand.

Long Bin, Sun Zhou Yi and Wei Tian turned towards the commotion. They saw a flying black creature colliding with a man. Sun Zhou Yi recognised the man, he was Butcher Wang.

While he was confused about what was happening in the west stand, he heard a familiar cry from the east stand, "Zhou Yi! Use your eyes and kill your opponent!"

He recognised the voice, it was that of his master.

Without a moment's hesitation, Sun Zhou Yi activated his Mystic Eyes. Immediately after, dozens of Ki Swords appeared around Wei Tian. All of them pointed in the same direction, towards Wei Tian.
