Sun Zhou Yi, Musashi Hirata, and Butcher Wang did their running routine. Their route was different from that of Dong-Woo and Lingxun. Their route was not in the city but in the wilderness.
Sun Zhou Yi suddenly felt a vibration in his arms. He looked down and the other two noticed as well.
"Who's calling you this early in the morning? Your new girlfriend?" Butcher Wang teased Sun Zhou Yi.
"No, it's Uncle Liang..." Sun Zhou Yi picked up the call and a panicked voice rang through the smartwatch, "Zh-Zhou Yi, g-get back now! The district is under attack! The district is under attack!"
Sun Zhou Yi halted his steps and turned towards the city after hearing that the district was under attack. Musashi Hirata did the same, but for a different reason, while Butcher Wang followed after them, slightly confused.
"Uncle Liang, can you tell me more about the attack and who's attacking the district?" Sun Zhou Yi asked in a worried tone as his face showed a worried expression.
Fatty Liang recounted what had happened earlier. It started with twenty-six men dressed in black and wearing steel masks arriving at the entrance, and he told it all without missing a single detail.
"I don't know who they are, but as soon as they arrived, they attacked Hu Min and Zhou Rui! Zhou Yi, please go back now or the boss might be in danger!" Fatty Liang anxiously asked Zhou Yi to go back.
Hu Min and Zhou Ri were the other two guards who were knocked down by Guo Shan. Meanwhile, Fatty Liang himself was perched on the corner of the post, cowering in fear.
He was truly intimidated by the secret army of the Feng family. He was also worried that something might happen to Xing Heero. He did not know that Sun Zhou Yi was Heero's disciple, and although he had heard that Heero had defeated a Silver Class Hero - Rank 1 before, the enemies were many and they seemed much stronger than a Silver Class Hero.
That was why he panicked and his mind told him to call Sun Zhou Yi.
"Alright, I will rush over there now!" After that, Sun Zhou Yi ended the call and picked up his pace.
"Why are you panicking? Do you think there's anyone who can beat that guy?" Butcher Wang had no idea why Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata were worried about that guy. The guy in his mouth was surely Heero.
In his opinion, Heero was a figure that was impossible to catch up with. He was the strongest. That was the feeling he had when he saw Heero performing his technique in front of them.
"Huh!? Worried? Why should I worry about Master?" Musashi Hirata gave Butcher Wang an unexpected answer.
"Then why are you rushing back? Aren't you worried about him?"
"Of course not, I want to see how Master fights. We have never seen him fight seriously, have we? I want to see the battle, it might enlighten my sword movement!" Musashi Hirata told Butcher Wang what was on his mind, shocking him.
Butcher Wang was stunned by Hirata's answer, but what about Sun Zhou Yi? He saw that Sun Zhou Yi was really worried about Heero and asked him, "What about you?"
"I'm worried that those twenty-six men are Legendary Class Rankers. If they are Legendary Class Rankers, then Master is truly in danger!" Sun Zhou Yi expressed his concern, but Butcher Wang replied with contempt.
"Legendary Class Rankers? If they are Legendary Class Rankers, would they come with a van? Well, there will be a line of luxury cars, not black vans used by thugs! It's not like you don't know about them!"
Only then did Sun Zhou Yi find some truth in Butcher Wang's words. If these people were Legendary Class Rankers, there'd be no need for them to hide their faces like that.
However, Sun Zhou Yi was still worried when he remembered the conflict between them and the Ranker Alliance. There was a possibility that these guys would come and remember how overbearing these Rankers were.
"No matter what, I will go back no matter who they are!" Sun Zhou Yi quickened his pace as he used the technique he had just learned, although it was far from perfect, his movement speed had improved greatly.

Back to Xing District
As soon as Guo Shan spotted the man he was looking for, he let out a loud laugh, "Xing Heero, you are finished for this time! I will take everything from you!"
Meanwhile, Heero frowned at the sight of the group. For the first time, the security team had to ring the bell five times. He looked around, every building was covered in steel, with the exception of Miao Miao Noodles.
Then his gaze landed on the men, who were laughing like mad. He scanned the group to see if they were worth five rings. Indeed, given the group's outfit and weapon, it was only natural for the security team to ring the bell five times.
This group could harm customers. Just as he was about to deal with the troublemakers, two heads popped out of the window. Miao Miao and Myung-Hee looked out curiously, wondering what was happening outside.
But before they could find out what was happening outside, they met Heero's gaze. Heero pointed with his finger while his mouth spoke without a voice, "Stay there, I will take care of the bad guys!"
He ended his words with a chopping motion through his neck. The reactions of the two little girls were adorable, they nodded their heads a few times in quick motion, their eyes still wide open.
"Oh my... My adorable little girl..." Then Heero approached the incoming troublemakers. As he approached the group, he activated his Mystical Eyes, "Let's see how strong these people are!"
However, he was shocked by what he saw; apart from the man in front, the bodies of the other twenty-five men were filled with Dark Ki. This meant that these twenty-five men were no longer human, but ghosts!
He thought these people were the Feng Family's men, but it seemed that they were...
"Wait a minute..." Heero suddenly realized, "Don't tell me that the Feng family was working with the Specter..."
It was not impossible, remembering that the Specter also had a relationship with Shadow Fang. As for why he suspected the Feng family, it was because of the three officers he had captured earlier.
With the help of Honesty Concoction, the three officers admitted that they had come here on the orders of the Feng family. They had received the mission directly from a member of the Feng Family in exchange for a Luminous Hyacinth.
With that in mind, he guessed that the Feng family would send more people. Therefore, he was able to conclude that this group was sent by the Feng Family. However, he could not rule out the possibility that this group was sent by Shadow Fang with the Ghost Army.
"No, there's no need to think about it. I will kill the ghost and spare the man, I can ask him later with my Honesty Potion!" With that, the space on his right side distorted and his hand entered the distorted space.
Heero's action shocked Guo Shan, who was so excited about getting his revenge. He was stunned by what he saw. Not long after, he saw Heero pull his hand out of the distorted space. It shocked him even more when the other party pulled a sword out of the distorted space.
The sword glowed blue, despite the sunlight, he could still see that the sword glowed blue.
Heero slowly stroked the blue sword and memories of the past flashed through his mind. The scene when he helped his friend to perfect his sword technique.
Yes, the sword in his hand was the ancestor of Musashi Hirata, Musashi Miyamoto's gift to Heero. He remembered the time he spent with his best friend while holding his best friend's sword.
"My friend, let me use your sword and technique to kill these damned ghosts!" Heero put the sword on his hip and bent his body slightly.
It was the technique of the Musashi clan, Draw Sword. As a Gold Class Hero, Guo Shan had been searching for a secret technique to advance his career to Emperor Class Hero. Yes, a technique that could draw internal energy from the body, is a secret technique.
The Shen family had no secret technique, even though they had the resources to help him become a Gold Class Hero. His research led him to the twelve most influential families, of which the Musashi Clan was one.
He had seen the Draw Sword stance and it had a similar... No, the stance was exactly the same as Heero's current stance. A thought appeared in his mind, 'This district belongs to the Musashi Clan! I am finished!
Guo Shan despaired as he realized that he had just offended one of the giant powers in the core region. Even with the Feng Family on his back, it was useless. The Feng Family would not insult the Musashi Clan just because of him.
Just as Guo Shan was thinking of a way out of this precarious situation, the secret army of the Feng Family attacked without his order.
They unsheathed their large swords and rushed together towards Heero, who was in the middle of a battle.
The sudden movement shocked Guo Shan, 'Damn, these people act on their own,' he cursed silently.
But his body was doing something else. It wanted to call back the secret army of the Feng family and stop them from attacking Heero.
Before his voice could find its way out of his mouth, he witnessed a terrifying scene. Heero's figure blurred and vanished in an instant. Right after Heero's figure disappeared from his sight, he saw the twenty-five of the Feng family's secret army fall, their bodies split in two.
It did not stop there, no blood gushed from the cut side of their bodies, but black gas. Then Guo Shan saw the bodies dried out. It was a horrifying scene for him, and he realised that these people were not human.
As he was stunned by what he saw, the missing Heero appeared right in front of him.
Spare me...' He wanted to beg for his life and tell them that these people had nothing to do with him. But his vision darkened just as Heero appeared.
"Uhhhh... We are too late..." Those were the last words Guo Shan heard before he completely lost consciousness.
