Bloodshed - Part 3

Musashi Hirata chased after Duan Wei. This guy was slippery, not his footwork or movement, but the core.

Perhaps Duan Wei realized that he could detect the location of the core. So he made his core move inside his body. The movement had no pattern, it just moved randomly, Hirata was having a hard time hitting the core.

Musashi Hirata was really frustrated. Just as he was about to burst out, three swords pierced Duan Wei's back.

The three swords pinned Duan Wei's body to the ground. After that, dozens of ki swords pierced Duan Wei, piercing him from head to toe.

Soon, the black gas in Duan Wei's body evaporated. A sign that Duan Wei had died.

Looking at the familiar Ki Sword, Musashi Hirata heaved a sigh of relief. Sun Zhou Yi came to help him, without Sun Zhou Yi, it would take more time to kill Duan Wei.

Of course, thanks to Musashi Hirata, Sun Zhou Yi was able to kill Duan Wei easily. Duan Wei focused only on Hirata and failed to recognize Sun Zhou Yi's gift.

After Duan Wei died, Hirata immediately looked at the other. There were two specters, Duan Wei and Guan Ding. He looked for Guan Ding and noticed that Old Man Long Bing was beating the poor guy.

Since the destruction of the core was necessary for killing a specter, there was no need for the destruction of the specter. Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi had Mystical Eyes to detect the location of the core, but Long Bin had no way to detect the location of the core.

So he just smashed Guan Ding with his steel staff. It was clear that his efforts were in vain. Guan Ding's body was almost crushed to a pulp, but the guy was still struggling down there.

Musashi Hirata rushed over and said, "Old man! You must aim for its core to kill this creature!"

After saying that, Musashi Hirata stabbed Guan Ding's right palm. Not long after, Guan Ding stopped struggling, black gas shot out of the palm, and then Guan Ding's body dried up, leaving only bones and skin.

"Core!? What core? And how did you discover this core?" 

Long Bin inquired in an urgent tone. These specters were more dangerous than he had previously thought.

Even he, the Elder, could not kill the specter despite his overwhelming power.

What about the other heroes like the gold-class heroes or even the lower-class heroes? They were bound to lose if they fought these specters.

Before Musashi Hirata could answer Long Bin, Feng Xinlun and his men descended. His eyes were glued to Musashi Hirata as he listened to their conversation earlier.

This young man had a way of detecting his dark core, which was bad news for them.

Long Bin, Musashi Hirata, Musashi Naizen, and Sun Zhou Yi turned around.

Anger and rage were reflected on Long Bin's face. His anger was due to the betrayal of the Feng Family. The Feng Family was one of the pillars of Star City, their betrayal would surely shake the foundation of Star City.

"So you were seeking protection from a monster now?" Musashi Naizen was the first to open his mouth at the sight of the Feng Family core members.

As he uttered these words, two figures joined Long Bin's group. They were Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan.

Both of them were in a pitiful state as four specters similar in shape to Fang Guo Ming were chasing after them.

These four specters launched a sneak attack on Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan as soon as the commotion among the spectators broke out.

Not expecting to be attacked in the core region, the two were caught off guard by the sneak attack.

Especially on this occasion, when the heroes and rankers were gathered in one place. No one would have expected this.

Seeing Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan in such a pitiful state, Feng Tian Xou's lips formed a smile.

Feng Xinlun ignored Musashi Naizen's stupid question. He looked at the four specters chasing after Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan.

"Two of you take him down!" Feng Xinlun ordered two of the specters as he pointed his finger at Musashi Hirata and added, "He seems to have a way of detecting our core location!"

The four specters were displeased that a newcomer, who had just joined Shadow Fang, was giving them arbitrary orders. However, as soon as they heard the next sentence, there was a huge change in the faces of the four specters.

Two of them assimilated into their shadows without any hesitation and rushed toward Musashi Hirata.

As the two ghosts moved, Feng Xinlun also made his move. He rushed towards Long Bin while Feng Tian Xou rushed towards Musashi Naizen.

The thirteen members of the Feng family and the other two ghosts surrounded Musashi Kenzan, Bai Tian Ming, and Sun Zhou Yi.

Bai Tian Ming took a deep breath, and then a bright flame blazed up and enveloped his fist. His specialty was his spear, but that did not mean he was weak in a fistfight.

Musashi Kenzan was more unfortunate than Bai Tian Ming. His foundation was in his swordsmanship, fighting with his bare hands reduced his power in battle by half.

Just as the two were about to fight the fifteen ghosts, Sun Zhou Yi stepped forward and calmly said, "Two uncles! Stay close to me and recover! Leave these filthy creatures to me!"

Musashi Kenzan and Bai Tian Ming were left speechless and embarrassed by Sun Zhou Yi's kind remark. As the top five Emperor Class Heroes, being protected by a Gold Class Hero somehow embarrassed them.

Sun Zhou Yi did not care about their feelings. He also did not recognize them as Emperor Class Heroes. In his mind, he regarded them as heroes who were injured in battle, so he felt it was his responsibility as a hero to protect the injured heroes.

With a long breath, Sun Zhou Yi's eyes turned sharp and two twenty-metre-long Ki Swords formed. The two swords floated at the height of his chest, one in front and one behind.

The sudden appearance of the two large swords not only startled Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan but also shocked the fifteen ghosts who rushed over.

Uwenggg!!!

Before the specters could get away from the great sword, the two swords spun, whistling through the air and cutting everything in their path.

The bodies of the fifteen specters were split in half. They had no chance as the great swords were simply too fast.

Sun Zhou Yi did not stop there. Cutting the bodies of these ghosts in two would only stop them for a while. In order to kill them, he had to aim for the core.

The two big swords shattered into dozens of smaller swords.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As if the swords came to life, thirty swords moved to each of their targets, pinning thirty body parts to the ground.

The sword sliced through the body parts, leaving only the hilt visible. The specters struggled, trying to free themselves from the ki sword that held them in place.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

There was no way Sun Zhou Yi would let the specters have their freedom from his sword. There were still twenty Ki Swords floating in the air. Fifteen of the twenty swords moved simultaneously. Fifteen swords slashing at fifteen different targets.

swish! 

swish! swish! swish! swish!

The moment the sword pierced their bodies, the specters stopped moving.

"Ah! I missed two targets!" Sun Zhou Yi exclaimed as he turned around. His gaze landed on two specters that were still alive.

These two were the ones who were chasing after Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan. When the sword was about to pierce their cores, they moved the core.

Sun Zhou Yi controlled the remaining five swords and finished them off.

The battle lasted less than five minutes, but Sun Zhou Yi had killed the fifteen ghosts that plagued the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 2 and Rank 4.

Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan stood in a daze, an unbelievable expression on their faces.

Meanwhile, Musashi Hirata was facing two Shadow Specters. The two ghosts moved through the shadows and appeared beside him. They slashed at Hirata with their scythe hands.

But the scythe swept empty air as the figure of Musashi Hirata blurred and vanished. He appeared behind a specter and slashed it cutting the specter with his sword.

Immediately afterward, his figure flashed toward the remaining specter.

Slash!

A flash of white light sliced through the core of the remaining ghost. He finished off the specters faster than Sun Zhou Yi with his drawing sword technique.

He used his speed advantage to catch them off guard and kill them.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinlun, facing Long Bin, was shocked to see his allies slaughtered in such a manner.

"Fang Guo Ming!" he called. At this point, all he could do was call Fang Guo Ming to help them.

He turned his head to see Fang Guo Ming's upper half burned by a bolt of lightning. Then he saw a young man land beside Fang Guo Ming's lower half.

The boy touched Fang Guo Ming's lower half, and then a crimson flame shot out from the hand and burned Fang Guo Ming's lower half. Not even ashes were left behind.

Feng Xinlun realised that he was in danger. He and his son were the only ones left as all the strong specters had already died.
