Musashi Hirata was chasing after Duan Wei. This guy was slippery, not his footwork or movement, but the core.
Maybe Duan Wei realized that he could detect the core location. So the former made his core keep moving inside the body. The movement had no pattern, but just randomly moved, Hirata was having a hard to hit the core.
Musashi Hirata was truly frustrated. Just as he was about to burst out, three swords pierced Duan Wei's back.
The three swords pinned Duan Wei's body down on the ground. After that, dozens of Ki Swords pierced Duan Wei, from the head to toe were pierced by the Ki Sword.
Soon, the black gas inside Duan Wei's body evaporated. An indication Duan Wei had died.
Looking at the familiar Ki Sword, Musashi Hirata let out 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, Sun Zhou Yi could take down Duan Wei easily thanks to Musashi Hirata. Duan Wei focused solely on Hirata, failing to realize Sun Zhou Yi's present.
After Duan Wei died, Hirata immediately looked at the other one. There were two specters, Duan Wei and Guan Ding. He was looking for Guan Ding and noticed Old Man Long Bing was currently smashing the poor guy.
Yes, one needed to destroy the core to kill a specter. Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi had Mystical Eyes to detect the core location, but Long Bin had no way to detect the core location.
So he only smashed Guan Ding with his steel stick. It was clear that his effort was in vain. Guan Ding's body almost crushed into a pulp, but the guy still struggled below there.
Musashi Hirata rushed over and said, "Old Man! You have to aim at his core to kill this creature!"
After saying that, Musashi Hirata stabbed Guan Ding's right palm. Not long after that, Guan Ding stopped struggling, black gas shot out from the palm, and then, Guan Ding's body dried up, leaving only bone and skin.
"Core!? What core? And how did you detect this core?" Long Bin inquired in an urging tone. This specter was more dangerous than he thought.
Even him, Elder could not kill the specter despite his overwhelming power.
What about the other heroes such as Gold Class Heroes or even the lower class heroes. They were bound to lose if they fought this specter.
Before Musashi Hirata could answer Long Bin, Feng Xinlun, and his people descended. His gaze glued to Musashi Hirata as he overheard their conversation earlier.
This young man had a way to detect his dark core which was bad news to them.
Long Bin, Musashi Hirata, Musashi Naizen, and Sun Zhou Yi turned around.
Anger and fury were reflected on Long Bin's face. His anger was due to the Feng Family betrayal. The Feng Family was one of the pillars in Star City, their betrayal would shake Star City's foundation for sure.
"So, you guys were seeking protection from a monster now!?" Musashi Naizen was the first one to open his mouth upon the sight of the Feng Family core members.
As he said those words out, two figures joined Long Bin's group. The two were Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan.
Both were in a sorry state as four specters that had a similar form to Fang Guo Ming chased after the two.
These four specters launched a sneak attack on Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan, once the commotion broke amongst the spectators.
As the two did not expect they would be attacked in the core region, they were caught off guard by the sneak attack.
Especially on this occasion, where the heroes and rankers gathered in one place. No one would expect this to happen.
Looking at Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan in a sorry state, Feng Tian Xou's lips formed a smile.
Feng Xinlun ignored Musashi Naizen's stupid question. He glanced at the four specters who chased 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 toward Musashi Hirata and added, "He seems to have a way to detect our core location!"
The four specters were displeased that a new guy who just joined Shadow Fang arbitrarily commanded them. However, after hearing the next sentence, there was a big change in the four specters' faces.
Two of them without any shred of hesitation assimilated into their shadows and rushed toward Musashi Hirata.
As the two specters moved, Feng Xinlun also made his move. He rushed toward Long Bin while Feng Tian Xou sped up toward Musashi Naizen.
The thirteen Feng Family's members and the other two specters surrounded Musashi Kenzan, Bai Tian Ming, and Sun Zhou Yi.
Bai Tian Ming took a deep breath, then a bright flame blazed up, shrouding his fist. His specialty was his spear, but it did not mean he was weak in a first fight.
Musashi Kenzan was more miserable than Bai Tian Ming. His foundation was in his swordsmanship, fighting with his bare hand reduced half of his power in the battle.
Just as the two were ready to engage the fifteen specters, Sun Zhou Yi stepped up and said calmly, "Two Uncles! Stay near me and recuperate! Leave these filthy creatures to me!"
The two uncles, Musashi Kenzan and Bai Tian Ming were left speechless by Sun Zhou Yi's kind remark but also embarrassed. As the top five in the Emperor Class Heroes, getting protected by a Gold Class Hero somehow embarrassed them.
Sun Zhou Yi did not care about the two uncles' feelings. He also failed to recognize these two uncles as Emperor Class Hero. In his thoughts, he regarded the two uncles as heroes who were injured in the battle, so he felt it was his responsibility to protect the injured heroes as a hero.
Exhaling a long breath, Sun Zhou Yi's eyes turned sharp, and two twenty meters Ki Swords formed. The two swords floated at the height of his chest, one in the front and one in the back.
The sudden appearance of two big swords not only startled Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan but the fifteen specters who rushed over were also shocked.
Uwenggg!!!
Before the specters could get away from the big sword, the two swords spun, whistling through the air and cutting everything on its way.
The fifteen specters' bodies were split into two. They did not have a chance as the big sword just too fast.
Sun Zhou Yi did not stop here. Cutting these specters' bodies into two only stopped them for a while. In order to kill them, he had to aim at the core.
The two big swords broke into dozens of smaller swords.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As if the swords came alive, thirty swords moved to each of their targets and pinned down thirty parts of the bodies down on the ground.
The sword pierced the body parts down, leaving only the sword handle to be seen. The specters struggled, trying to free themselves from the Ki Sword which stopped them from moving.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
There was no way Sun Zhou Yi would let the specters break free from his sword. There were still twenty Ki Swords floating in the air. Fifteen out of twenty swords moved simultaneously. Fifteen swords shot into fifteen different targets.
Jab! Jab! Jab! Jab!
The moment the sword pierced their bodies, the specters stopped moving as the black gas evaporated from their bodies.
"Ah! I missed two targets!" Sun Zhou Yi exclaimed as he turned around. His gaze landed on two specters who were still alive.
These two specters were the specters who chased 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 off the two specters.
The battle did not pass five minutes, but Sun Zhou Yi had finished off the fifteen specters which troubled the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 2 and Rank 4.
Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan stood in a daze as an unbelievable look plastered on their faces.
Meanwhile, Musashi Hirata faced two Shadow Specters. The two specters moved through the shadow and appeared next to him. They sliced their scythe hand to Hirata.
But the scythe swept empty air as Musashi Hirata's figure blurred and vanished. Hirata appeared on the back of one specters. He sheathed out his sword, sliced one specter into pieces.
Right after that, his figure flashed to the remaining specter.
Slash!
A white light streak flashed, slicing a part of the remaining specter. He finished the specters off faster than Sun Zhou Yi with his Draw Sword technique.
This time, he finished off the specter faster because of the two specters attacking him on their own initiative. He used his speed advantage, catching them off guard, and killed them.
Meanwhile, Feng Xinlun who faced Long Bin was shocked that his allies slaughtered in such fashion.
"Fang Guo Ming!" At this time, he could only call Fang Guo Ming to help them.
He turned his head, but he witnessed Fang Guo Ming's upper half was burned by a streak of lightning. Then he saw a youth landing next to Fang Guo Ming's lower half.
The youth touched Fang Guo Ming's lower half, then a crimson flame blazed out from the hand, burning Fang Guo Ming's lower half. Not even ash left behind.
Feng Xinlun realized that he was in danger. All strong specters already died, leaving only him and his son.
