Musashi Hirata with a sheath in his hand performed a quick draw sword and knocked three to five men in one move. Yes, he did not use his sword, but merely his sheath. The rankers tried to surround him but to no avail. None of them could withstand his swordsmanship.
Unlike Musashi Hirata, Sun Zhou Yi just remained standing on the spot. From the start Kang In-Chul signaled his men to attack, he just stood motionlessly. However, ten Ki Swords floated around him.
Of course, Sun Zhou Yi did not use the Ki Sword to kill these people. He used the swords to knock out his target. It was as if his sword was coming into alive, it chased the people around.
Because his opponent was not someone like his Master or Musashi Hirata, his Ki Sword easily cornered the opponent just with a simple maneuver.
Kang Dong-Woo witnessed all of this with his eyes, that even with numbers, they could not win. With each of Hirata's movements, he witnessed one or two of his father's men fall. Sun Zhou Yi was doing the most damage, these people tried to fight the flying sword which only ended up being knocked out.
Meanwhile, Butcher Wang was not idle. With Kang In-Chul, there were another four men who came after him. Again, Kang Dong-Woo witnessed the random movement he faced in the last week, not just any random movement.
Butcher Wang's random movements confused the four men. Kang Dong-Woo witnessed these four men's heads trying to follow Butcher Wang as their heads turned here and there.
However, all of this went for naught. Besides the randomness, Butcher Wang's speed was just too fast for them to follow. In the end, Butcher Wang used the confusion on the four and knocked them easily.
Here, Kang Dong-Woo realized something. He could not follow Butcher Wang's movement not because he had not grown fully yet. It was because Butcher Wang's speed was just too fast.
Even the men his father had nurtured were left dazed, none of them could follow it. Kang Dong-Woo realized how naive he was to think he could defeat Butcher Wang in the spar.
The fight was over as soon as it started, leaving the boy speechless. As the fight ended, he saw the Kang Family's rankers laying down while clutching at some part of their bodies. But a single man was still standing, Kang In-Chul.
The same as Kang Dong-Woo, Kang In-Chul was also shocked to the core. The elite team he brought with him was knocked down easily by three people.
He admitted Sun Zhou Yi's strength as someone who stopped a Level 10 Calamity alone. He admitted the masked man who could fight on par against the Emperor Class Hero, Huo Liang Xun.
However, he never expected these two to be so ridiculously strong like this. His men could not even buy five minutes for him. Moreover, there was an additional man who had ridiculous strength with his weird movement.
'Just who are these people? I heard they also have the same master… Then just how strong that master could be?'
Kang In-Chul was in a mess and he had an urge to call Kang Yun-Cheol to report the problem he faced. But he was just too ashamed to report this, there was no way he would say the fifty elite men were defeated by three people.
Unknowingly, Kang In-Chul pulled out something from his waist. A pistol appeared in his hand, it was a silver custom eagle with a longer barrel. Did not know what entered his mind that made him take out that pistol, but a killing intent leaked out of his eyes.
Musashi Hirata was familiar with that kind of gaze, a gaze with an intent to kill. He was a former assassin, so he was familiar with this kind of gaze. He often encountered this gaze in amateur assassins.
"Kang In-Chul! If you want to kill someone, you have to be ready to get killed as well!" having said that, Musashi Hirata had both hands on the sheath.
Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang recognized Musashi Hirata's stance. Musashi Clan's Draw Sword, they often saw it before. Of course, Kang In-Chul also recognized the stance. It was the same stance in the video.
Ba-dump! Badump! Badump!
It was the same technique that cornered an Emperor Class Hero. Looking at this stance, Kang In-Chul's heart raced and his instinct was telling him to put away the gun. His guts were telling him to run, but his pride stopped him from running away.
He directed the pistol toward Hirata, aiming at the forehead. He did not know where the guts to pull the trigger came from, but Kang In-Chul pulled the trigger without hesitation even after hearing the warning.
Bang!
Kang Dong-Woo saw the spark of fire from the muzzle, at the same time, he saw something even more shocking. He noticed Musashi Hirata's figure blurred. He did not know how, but he saw Musashi Hirata appear in front of his cousin.
Then, he saw his cousin's body fall. Only then did he notice his cousin was hit by the sheath on the neck. Looking at this, his body shuddered involuntarily.
'But…' something else was bothering him, that inconceivable move. If that move could not be seen by normal eyes, then did it make Hirata the strongest? Or…
"He blinked?" Dong-Woo blurted out in shock.
"No, he was just too fast to be caught by normal eyes. Sun Zhou Yi and Heero can see his move while I can only see his silhouette. You need your eyes to get used to that kind of speed to see it with your eyes. Oh… Your Master also said you can improve your eyes with Ki…"
Butcher Wang explained to the boy with helplessness on his face. However, Kang Dong-Woo caught something that important. Teacher Xing and Sun Zhou Yi could see Hirata's movement. Second, he could improve his eyes to see that kind of movement by improving his eyes through internal energy called Ki.
"It seems you are not worried about these people, you are more interested in Hirata?" Butcher Wang opened his mouth as he notice the excited gleams in the boy's eyes.
Kang Dong-Woo frowned upon hearing this. Indeed, he had to make sure none of these people were killed. If one of them died, the Ranker Alliance won't just stand by doing nothing. He had to check all of them and send them to the hospital, making sure none of them died from the beating.
"Don't worry, I won't bring unnecessary trouble for my Master. They are alive and fine, just some fractures at worst!" Musashi Hirata commented as he walked back to retrieve his sword.
On the way, he muttered in a low voice, "But these people were too weak… None of them could take more than three beatings…"
"It's not them that weak, but you have grown a lot stronger!" Butcher Wang yelled in annoyance from afar. Even though Hirata spoke in a low voice, it still could be heard.
Hearing this, Musashi Hirata paused his steps for a moment before he continued to retrieve his sword.
"Should we call an ambulance for them?" Sun Zhou Yi inserted a few unnecessary words.
*** ***
Meanwhile, Heero was still calmly doing his job. Despite being informed his disciples were surrounded by armed forces, there was no trace of worries that could be found on his face. It showed how confident he was in his disciples, but it did not mean he did not think about it.
As he processed the dough into the noodles with his hand, his mind was elsewhere.
'It seems I have to visit the Kang Family. After all, Kang Dong-Woo and Kang Myung-Hee have their family…. I can't arbitrarily meddle in other family's affairs, but I can talk a bit with their parents as Dong-Woo's Master…'
Heero decided to talk with the kids' parents. At least, if he wanted to keep the kids with them, he had to meet the parents at the least. He had to convince the parents he was not a bad guy or something.
As Heero pulled the noodles, the two little girls, Kang Myung-Hee and Shen Miao noticed he was in a daze. Both girls were sitting behind the bar that connected to the kitchen, it was what they were doing all day.
No, Shen Miao just accompanied Myung-Hee. She did not have an interest in watching Heero making noodles. However, lately, the Little Tigres got more docile than before. She no longer treated Heero coldly after knowing he was truly Sun Zhou Yi's Master.
"What's wrong? Do you have something in your mind?" As usual, Shen Miao acted like an adult as she asked Heero. Myung-Hee, who also noticed her Teacher Xing in a daze, put her ears to hear the reason behind it.
Heero shook his head as there was no way he would share his thoughts with the two little girls. He put the noodles into the pot and rubbed the two girls' heads with his hand, "You guys stay here all day, why don't you play with Lan Lan and the other girls?"
Shen Miao put the hand away with a dissatisfied look on her face while Myung-Hee enjoyed it with a light smile on his face. Shen Miao refused to answer as she glanced at Myung-Hee while Myung-Hee was hesitating.
'It seems I have to be a bridge between Lan Lan and Myung-Hee…' Heero thought to himself.
Heero tried to introduce Shen Miao to Lan Lan so the little girl had friends her age rather than following the adult or playing with the smartwatch all day. However, at that time, Shen Miao said that she would not be friends with the kids from the outer region.
He was afraid that Myung-Hee had the same thoughts regarding this. So he did not want the same thing repeating, but it seemed Myung-Hee was different from Shen Miao. Heero nodded his head and back to the kitchen to process the order.
Meanwhile, at the Xing District's entrance, a red sports car stopped. It was rare to see a sports car in the outer region and it certainly attracted people's attention. People stopped and began pointing toward the car.
Then the car door opened and a red-haired woman came out. Men gasped as they saw the woman. She was just too attractive and charming. The woman wore a black long sleeve shirt and black long pants.
Despite not wearing a revealing outfit, her figure was just as attractive as her gorgeous face. People already knew it and just glanced at the woman. Even Fatty Liang could not retract his gaze from the gorgeous young lady.
"So this is where the two little brats are running off…" Kang Seo-Yeon muttered in a low voice as she closed the door.
"The district is decent… No, this might be the best district in the outer region…"
"The report says Sun Zhou Yi and his mysterious master also stay here…"
Ba-dump! Badump! Badump!
Remembering that man's figure, her heartbeat accelerated. If it was just a normal meeting, she might not be nervous, but it was different now. Kang Seo-Yeon was determined to confess her feelings if she managed to meet her prince.
Kang Seo-Yeon stepped into the district under people's fervent gaze. She was used to this kind of gaze, so she paid no attention to it. As soon as she entered the district, she headed toward the Miao Miao Noodle Shop.
