After Musashi Naizen came up with a decisive decision to stay with Sun Zhou Yi to buy the team time to escape. Under Wu Jiang Shan's lead, the team left Musashi Naizen and Sun Zhou Yi without any hesitation.
Amongst the team, there were four Gold Class Heroes who also decided to stay, but Musashi Naizen disagreed. Wu Jiang Shan and Huo Liang Xun had to take action, knocking these four Gold Class Heroes.
Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon were amongst the fours. They wanted to stay rather than leave their comrades, but the three Emperor Class Heroes knocked out these four people.
After that, the team left with their four unconscious comrades. Huo Liang Xun transformed into his beast form and brought the two girls with him. The team escaped straight toward the gate at full speed.
Running with such extreme speed, the team reached the gate in half an hour. As soon as the team came out of the gate, they were greeted by the surprised guards. It was four hours faster than the schedule.
"I will call for reinforcement and report what happened to Musashi Naizen to HQ!" Wu Jiang Shan said in a cold voice as he immediately left for Ence Fort.
With Musashi Naizen's absence, Wu Jiang Shan took over the team. As for Huo Liang Xun, he looked dispirited. He did not have any interest in taking over the team. He dejectedly brought the two unconscious girls into Ence Fort.
As for the guards, none of them dared to raise any questions upon noticing the tense atmosphere shrouded the team who just came back.
Huo Liang Xun was about to reach the gate, however, he stopped as an intense cold assaulted his feet. He was shocked, but then he noticed Bai Xin Yue had woken up. Bai Xin Yue created a distance from Huo Liang Xun.
She appeared to be calmer than what Huo Liang Xun expected as she did not continue her attack. Bai Xin Yue's attack toward Huo Liang Xun shocked the surroundings as the atmosphere became even tenser.
The guards were clueless about what happened with the team. But as the conflict involved Emperor Class Hero, none of them dared to raise their voices.
After a short moment, Bai Xin Yue found out she was no longer inside the dungeon. She gave a cold gaze toward Huo Liang Xun for a short time before walking into Ence Fort. As she walked, she also seemed to be making a call through her smartwatch.

"It becomes smaller…" Musashi Hirata muttered.
The size of the giant Little Dragon indeed reduced. Now, it was about twenty meters long and its body also thinned out. Even so, the pressure it gave out did not lessen, instead, he felt a stronger aura from the Little Dragon.
The creature had its hollow eyes staring at Sun Zhou Yi who was holding a huge sword.
Grrrr!!!
It let out a deafening roar toward Sun Zhou Yi. After that, it opened its mouth wide toward both men. Then, it shot three consecutive fireballs. The fireball was smaller in size, but the fireball was faster than the beforehand fireball.
Just as Musashi Naizen wanted to avoid the fireball, Sun Zhou Yi spoke in a rather calm tone, "Can you block the fireball for me?"
With those words coming out, Musashi Naizen stopped his motion to dodge the fireball. He took two steps forward and said, "I hope you have a good plan!"
With that said, Musashi Naizen made his move as the fireball already reached his place. The sword movement seemed to be slow, but as the sword in Musashi Naizen's hand moved, it left an afterimage.
Swoosh!
Musashi Naizen's body was spinning along with his two swords in his hand. Then, a hurricane made of blade shot up, wrapping around Musashi Naizen.
Hurricane made of a wind blade and the fireball clashed. It was as if the fireball was getting absorbed into a hurricane, the fire also revolved along with the blade. The three fireballs were absorbed into the hurricane and created a huge fire hurricane.
Sun Zhou Yi immediately distanced himself from Musashi Naizen. At the same time, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He focused his control on his huge Ki sword. It was harder to maintain and control the big sword.
After five seconds, he released his hand from the big sword and the sword floated above him. Then, he took off his boot and folded up his pants. Underneath his pants, around his ankle, two pairs of training circlets could be seen.
All this time, he was wearing the training circlet given to him by Heero. He never took it off unless he washed up or slept. He had six training circlets in total on his body. Two pairs on each of his ankles and one on each of his wrists.
Each of the training circlets weighed a hundred kilos, so all this time, Sun Zhou Yi carried six hundred kilos training circlet. Now, he took the training circlet off his body which was turning his body lighter.
As Sun Zhou Yi tried to get used to his lighter body, Musashi Naizen's voice resounded, "Zhou Yi, if you have a plan, you should make your move now or we will die!"
Sun Zhou Yi looked up and found the fire hurricane had disappeared. Musashi Naizen fell with one knee while holding his sword, his clothes completely burned and showed a blue scaled-armor. His white skin also turned red while releasing hot steam.
To neutralize the fireball, he forced himself to maintain the hurricane blade longer than his limit. It drained all his energy and he no longer could move now. Sun Zhou Yi was only his hope now as the giant Little Dragon shot another five fireballs toward them. If Sun Zhou Yi did not make his move, then he would die for sure.
Fwoosh!
Suddenly, Musashi Naizen felt something just pass him. He looked up and found Sun Zhou Yi standing one meter away from him still with the big sword.
Then, he saw Sun Zhou Yi slashing the big sword toward the fireball. He witnessed Sun Zhou Yi send countless slashes toward the fireball and cut them into pieces.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The small fireball landed on the ground and caused an explosion. However, none of these fireballs hit him and Sun Zhou Yi. After the fireballs were cut, they spread out to his surroundings.
Musashi Naizen could feel the strong heat as the smaller fireballs exploded around him. Then, he saw the big sword move toward the giant Little Dragon. The big sword descended toward the giant's head.
"Not only his attack, but his movement also became faster… Just what did he do at the last minute…" Musashi Naizen muttered unbelievably.
Clang!
Even though Sun Zhou Yi's sword turned faster, the giant Little Dragon could still block the sword with its claw.
Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!
Sun Zhou Yi's Ki Swords cut through the air and caused a strange noise. In flash, he slashed his sword toward the giant Little Dragon four times. But all of that was blocked by the giant.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Musashi Naizen watched the battle with his eyes opened wide as he saw Sun Zhou Yi pushing the giant Little Dragon back. In each swing, the sword became faster and faster.
'Faster… It's not enough… Faster… Faster…'
Weng! Weng! Weng!
As Sun Zhou Yi madly swung his sword, he was holding his breath.
'I don't want to die here… I have to kill it… faster…'
As the fight went on, Musashi Naizen watched the fight with a blank look. At first, he still could see the sword, but as the battle went on, the thirty meters sword blurred.
The giant Little Dragon's claws were cut a few times, but the claw instantly grew back. Slash after slash, cut after cut, Sun Zhou Yi fought back and cornered the giant Little Dragon.
'Hope, there's still hope for him… Sun Zhou Yi has a chance…' Musashi Naizen's face brightened up as he watched this.

"AHHHHHHHHH..." Musashi Hirata released a piercing cry as he closed his eyes.
He could not be blamed for this as it happened so suddenly. Without any warning, his Master brought him to the sky. They were flying, but he did not know that he was flying as he thought Heero threw him up to the sky.
"Stop it already, show me the way to Ence Fort!" Then, Heero's annoyed voice entered his ears.
Heero's voice calmed Hirata down as he slowly opened his eyes. He saw many buildings and many people on the street, a large view of the outer region came into his sight. He also saw the Xing District right below him.
"I-I am… truly flying…" Musashi Hirata muttered with a disbelief look plastered on his face.
Plak!
Then, his head was hit by Heero, "Stop dazing out, we have to hurry, Sun Zhou Yi is in danger!"
Heero's words woke him up and he immediately replied, "East, Ence Fort located in the northeast…"
Musashi Hirata pointed in a certain direction. As soon as the reply came out, a gush of strong wind hit his face. It took him a while to get used to the speed as he opened his smartwatch.
He opened an app exclusive to ranker and typed "Ence Fort". After that, a map appeared on his smartwatch and he showed it to Heero.
"Master, follow the map…"
There was a big red dot on the map, it was Ence Fort. Heero adjusted the direction and picked up his speed. It was too fast, Musashi Hirata could not even enjoy the flight as he had to half-closed his eyes.
Just as he was used to the flight and his view became clearer, a fort in the middle of the desert came into his sight.
"Get ready, we are landing," said Heero as he confirmed Ence Fort's location through the map in the smartwatch. He scanned the small fort to find the gate and found the dungeon's gate in the north of the fort.
Swoosh!
The strong wind hit his face again as his view blurred once again. Musashi Hirata could not enjoy the flight at all, it was an amazing yet thrilling experience for him. Heero did not slow down and he landed with strong momentum.
Boom!
As Heero and Musashi Hirata landed right before the gate, the heroes who guarded the gate alarmed and immediately shouted, "Enemy! Enemy Attack!"
