Chapter 287 - Hatred

Weng Weng Weng!

The spear and the greatsword landed on the ground.

Swhish! Swhish!

Right after that, two frost arrows whistled through the air and shot Park Haneul and Jayden Duran in the thigh.

"Arghhhhh!!!" The pain of being hit by an arrow woke the two men from their shock. They screamed in agony.

Just like Ryong Minjun, their left legs froze. Park Haneul tried to pull his leg out of the ice but failed. His left leg was completely frozen.

Mao Chingseng and Mathias Oliver looked at each other. It was quite shocking that three of them were caught so quickly. But it was not the time to be shocked, they both nodded and took this chance to sneak into the district.

Swosh! Swosh!

Both rushed closer to the wall and jumped. Thinking that everyone's attention was on the battle between Musashi Hirata and their five comrades, they took this time to sneak in. However, Butcher Wang was not someone to be trifled with.

Out of nowhere, Butcher Wang appeared on the wall right in front of them.

"Hello~," Butcher Wang smiled slightly.

Mao Chingseng and Mathias Oliver were shocked by the sudden appearance of Butcher Wang.

As expected from his disciples, none of them are normal! Mathias Oliver secretly exclaimed as he thrust his spear forward, "But I came prepared!

Mao Chingseng also unconsciously swung his long sword at Butcher Wang.

The spear pierced Butcher Wang's left chest while the sword sliced through his waist. Unfortunately, no blood was spilled because the person they hit was an afterimage. Butcher Wang was no longer in his original place.

Mathias Oliver and Mao Chingseng were confused by the sudden disappearance of Butcher Wang. He really was like a ghost.

Then they felt their legs being grabbed by a hand. A strong force came from the hand and pulled them.

Boom! Boom!

They were knocked to the ground by the hand and failed to sneak in.

Kack!

Both of them had their backs slammed to the ground and were coughing up blood. As they looked up at the wall, they could not believe that they were being beaten by a hunter.

They could see that Butcher Wang was still standing on the wall, looking down at them, at the same spot where they had been attacked earlier. However, they were also sure that the one who had beaten them down was none other than Butcher Wang.

"Hoho... It seems that I can now be compared to a Legendary Class Ranker," Butcher Wang laughed.

Mao Chingseng immediately stood up. He could not accept the defeat against Butcher Wang. Heero's second disciple, a hunter, and his strength were unknown. In the Fighter Anteriority, no free fighter could compete with him, as Butcher Wang had overwhelmed the entire tournament by himself.

That must be it! I am being careless and underestimating him too much! Let's get serious...'

Buzz! Buzz!

"Let's see how you handle this!" Mao Chingseng slashed his sword at Butcher Wang. Lightning burst out from the long sword.

The lightning in the shape of a sword towards Butcher Wang.

Swoosh!

The lightning sword once again pierced the afterimage of Butcher Wang. The afterimage blurred and Butcher Wang's figure disappeared.

"Your lightning sword is fast, but it is still far from that man's!" Butcher Wang's voice came from behind.

Mao Chingseng unconsciously slashed at his back with his sword. However, the sword missed Butcher Wang's neck by a few millimeters. It was as if Butcher Wang had calculated it.

Mao Chingsheng gritted his teeth, "Let's see how you can escape from this!"

Suddenly, Mao Chingseng's body emitted lightning. Then, the lightning exploded and engulfed a twenty meter area.

"Mao Chingseng! Are you crazy!!??" Mathias Oliver was in the area of the explosion. He tried to escape the lightning explosion, but he could not escape unscathed. It was just too sudden and he was so close to Mao Chingseng.

Although he managed to escape, but his body was charred by the explosion. Mathias Oliver fell to one knee and breathed heavily. He felt every part of his body go numb from the lightning.

However, Mao Chingseng paid no attention to Mathias Oliver. He scanned the surroundings, trying to find Butcher Wang. But he could not find Butcher Wang's figure until a familiar voice reached his ears.

"If you are looking for me, I am up here!"

Mao Chingseng looked around and found Butcher Wang standing in his original place on the top wall, unharmed.

"Stop playing around, Butcher Wang!" Musashi Hirata could not help but remind Butcher Wang.

He looked towards the voice and found that the other five had been subdued by Lyera. All five had their feet frozen, stuck. The five tried to break free, but their strength was clearly not enough to break the ice.

Mathias Oliver looked blankly at Musashi Hirata. He could not believe that five Legendary Class Rankers could be defeated so easily. The battle lasted less than five minutes, but the result was a crushing defeat.

'How strong are these people?'

'Ah!? No wonder Father and Hanzo Keiji were captured. If the disciples are so strong, then their master...'

Mathias Oliver could not imagine this. The fame of the Legendary Class Ranker was nothing to these people.

Mao Chingseng was still unaware of his surroundings. His mind was preoccupied with how to deal with Butcher Wang.

This time, it was his feet that were covered in lightning. Unfortunately, Butcher Wang had seen a similar move. It meant that Mao Chingseng was trying to increase his speed.

"I just wonder how fast you are compared to him?" Butcher Wang muttered as he waited for Mao Chingseng to make his move.

Buzz!

Lightning erupted from Mao Chingseng's feet and his body shot towards Butcher Wang, his sword pointed at the Butcher and his body covered in lightning, Mao Chingseng's figure streaked forward. In the blink of an eye, Mao Chingseng's sword was about to pierce Butcher Wang's chest.

"Fast! But not fast enough to kill me!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Butcher Wang's figure blurred, leaving an afterimage. Not just one, but many afterimages were created.

Mao Chingsheng's lightning-covered figure pierced through Butcher Wang's afterimage. The shock was not enough to describe what he felt now.

He dodged many afterimages into the air, but then a hand grabbed his ankle again. The hand pulled him down and smashed him to the ground.

Bam!

It did not stop there, a kick landed right on the back of Mao Chingseng's head, knocking him unconscious.

After that, Butcher Wang waved his hand down at Musashi Hirata and reported, "Done!"

Mathias Oliver's gaze landed on Butcher Wang. A hunter, a profession he had never cared about in his entire life, was defeating Legendary Class Rankers.

On the other side, a newly promoted Emperor Class Hero and an unknown archer defeated five Legendary Class Rankers. It was all something he never imagined would happen, but it did happen tonight.

After watching from the sidelines like Mathias, Oliver realized that they never had a chance.

'Escape!'

This one word immediately flashed through his mind. He had to escape from here immediately.

'I am sorry, Father. Your son is unfilial and incompetent!'

Mathias Oliver turned around to leave this place, but then a man suddenly appeared in front of him.

Butcher Wang with his thick beard appeared right in front of his face. He grinned at Mathias Oliver, "Hello, where are you going, sir?"

"Die!" Terrified, Mathias Oliver unconsciously thrust his spear forward. Unfortunately, the current Mathias Oliver had no will to fight and was in a terrified state of mind. It was just a random stab that was easily dodged by Butcher Wang.

Mathias Oliver found that the beard had disappeared, but then he looked around and found that many of Butcher Wang were looking at him. Although he knew that this was all an afterimage, it only made him more terrified.

Mathias Oliver opened his mouth to scream, but no voice came out. His body collapsed and he lost consciousness.

Butcher Wang appeared right behind Mathias Oliver's collapsing body. He looked back at Hirata, "Done! The sneakers are neutralized!"

Butcher Wang walked towards Musashi Hirata and Lyera jumped down from the wall. She looked at the five unconscious people and asked, "What do we do with them? Lock them in the dungeon?

"No, leave them alone! We have reached our goal! We are going back now!" Musashi Hirata gave an unexpected answer that shocked Butcher Wang.

"Why? We should lock them up and teach them a lesson... Actually, killing them is much better! Fewer annoying people would bother us!" Butcher Wang made an unexpected remark while his eyes glittered viciously.

He had never forgotten the incident of his daughter almost dying at the hands of a Silver Class Ranker. Even though his daughter was saved by Heero, his hatred for Rankers only deepened.

"No! If Master really wanted it, they would be dead by now. But Master spared them despite all the trouble they caused. Killing them is not the way Master wanted to end it, right Lingxun?"

Musashi Hirata turned his head to the dark corner. There, a young boy stood and looked at the unconscious Rankers with a deep hatred. A strong will to kill radiated from his eyes. If he wanted to, he could draw the sword and kill the unconscious rankers.

But then the boy shook his head and turned around. He suppressed his thirst for revenge and left the place.
