Chapitre 201: Distraction - Part 1
Clang!
Bai Xian Ming thought he was about to die, but a figure appeared in front of him, deflecting the incoming spear.
Whoosh!
A flaming arrow flashed toward Su Yan's chest, but he immediately hid his body in the shadow. The flaming arrow missed its target.
He did not retreat and shot a black spear towards the figure protecting Bai Xian Ming.
This time Bai Xian Ming reacted. He wanted the figure in front of him to retreat. But to his surprise, when his hand reached the man's hand, the man didn't move.
Musashi Hirata frowned as a hand reached his shoulder and tried to pull him. But he stood firm as he slashed his sword down to the spear.
The black spear made of bone was cut by his sword. Hirata did not stop there. Immediately, he aimed his sword at the shadow and impaled it with his sword.
Urgh!
The moment his sword pierced the shadow, a painful grunt sounded. The shadow immediately moved away from Hirata.
Su Yan came out of the shadow when the distance between them was about 15 meters. He had a shocked look on his face as his eyes landed on Musashi Hirata's sword.
He was shocked that his bone spear was easily cut. What he did not understand was that he could feel pain again. It was the first time he had felt pain since he turned into a ghost.
"That's a good sword you have!" Su Yan commented calmly after a moment. His hand rubbed his left shoulder, where the pain came from.
"But the user is more amazing than the sword!" Su Yan's eyes met the young man's. Calmness and strong confidence were reflected in the young man's eyes.
After these words came out of his sword, Su Yan smiled a happy smile at that.
After exchanging a glance with Hirata, Su Yan's eyes fell back to the sword. He looked at the sword carefully and his smile widened as he confirmed something.
"You can use Ki!" Su Yan exclaimed before muttering to himself in a low voice, "No wonder..." He looked at the closed wound on his shoulder.
A faint blue energy could be seen enveloping the sword if one looked closely. Su Yan could see it and his grin became wider and wider.
Meanwhile, a frown appeared on Musashi Hirata's face. He heard every word that came out of the specter in front of him. He was surprised when it said that he could use Ki.
It meant that the specter before him knew something about Ki. It was a rare case as he thought it was his master's special technique.
It knows something about Ki. Should I capture it alive and bring it to Master? He knows our secret!
Musashi Hirata thought that Ki was a secret technique cultivated by his master.
Su Yan ignored the thoughts of the young man who wanted to catch him alive. He looked at his old friend and said with a smile, "Old friend! If you are still alive after this battle, you should take good care of him! He's a promising young man!"
Bai Xian Ming had no idea about Ki, but even without Su Yan's words, he would do so.
"If you can train him well, he will certainly outperform us. But of course, I will prevent that. I'll kill him, because he's a dangerous existence for us, the Specters!"
"Shut up! you filthy creatures, are quite talkative!" Musashi Hirata was annoyed by Su Yan. This specter was clearly an enemy, but he was acting friendly and chatty at the same time. Moreover...
"Is he your friend, old man?" Musashi Hirata's tone was assertive as he questioned Bai Xian Ming.
Even though he did not hear any words coming out of Bai Xian Ming's mouth. But the specter was clearly talking to the old man.
Although he knew the identity of the old man, he did not show Bai Xian Ming any respect.
The only person he respected was Heero, and he knew that his master hated the Specters to the core. He had come to this conclusion after talking to his master about the specters from time to time. From Heero's tone, he could tell how much his master hated them.
When the subject of the ghost came up. He could feel a faint killing intent from his master. His master detested the specters, he surely did as well.
Therefore, Hirata shows no respect when he spoke to the old man after finding out that the ghost was Bai Xian Ming's friend.
"Haha... You are right, we are an old friend! But that's it, with our situation, we are no longer friends!" Su Yan replied with a hollow laugh.
Even though Musashi Hirata called him a filthy creature, he was not angered by the mockery. He had been a human once, too, and he would have the same thought if it was the old him who met with the specters.
He would also call the specter a filthy creature. But he was a Specter now. His view of humans was also low, he regarded humans as cattle.
Ready to be slaughtered or raised to be one of them.That was why, despite his former identity, he was indifferent to the heroes who had fallen around him.
It was just that he was a bit lucky that he could still maintain his rationality. He could still talk to his old friend because he had a little bit of rationality as a human.
"I don't care about your relationship with that old man! You are a specter and you must die!"
After Musashi Hirata said this, he sheathed his sword again. He positioned himself in the Draw Sword stance.
"Kukuku... You are also dangerous and must be killed as well! Get ready, young'un! I mean it this time!" Su Yan replied with a laugh while his two hands pulled two spear bones out of his back.
His expression also brightened as he looked at Hirata's stance and muttered, "So you are a boy of the Musashi Clan! Tsk! That stubborn old man certainly has a promising successor!"
Su Yan was still calm and composed despite being confronted with the secret technique of the Musashi Clan. It was not that he underestimated Musashi Hirata, it was just that he was familiar with this technique.
Even the old fogeys of the Musashi Clan would not waste their time using the Draw Sword on him. They knew that the Draw Sword would never work on him, let alone a mere inexperienced youth.
Su Yan was confident to counter Hirata's draw sword. He also shook his head, feeling sorry that such a promising youngster would die before he could blossom.
As he focused his eyes on Hirata, he noticed that the young man's figure blurred. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, but the next moment, the young man appeared right in front of him.
The young man's footwork caught him off guard.However, he had no time to wonder how this youngster could have such amazing footwork.
Su Yan immediately brought his two bone spears forward to block the incoming sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
This time, the bone spear managed to block the sword. The two bone spears in Su Yan's hands were stronger than the previous spear.
However, once again, Su Yan realised that he had underestimated the youngster too much.
Even though he managed to block the sword, he was unable to negate the power behind the sword.He was pushed back by blocking the sword, creating another opening for the youngster.
Once again, Musashi Hirata's figure blurred and reappeared in front of Su Yan. He had raised his sword with both hands. At the same time, the sword also made a strange sound.
Wenggggggg!
After the Draw Sword, Musashi Hirata kept up with the Quake Sword.
Swoosh!
The sword fell towards Su Yan. Despite being cornered, Su Yan still managed to keep his composure. He stabilised his two spears and raised them to block the incoming sword.
Even Bai Xian Ming's eyes widened in shock. He simply could not believe what he was witnessing.
At first, he wanted to stop Musashi Hirata from fighting Su Yan. But he was too late as Hirata acted faster than him. Now he was shocked by what he saw.
Musashi Hirata had the advantage after the first strike. With the second strike, Musashi Hirata pushed back his old friend.But he knew his old friend very well. After Su Yan had received the second blow, he would start to counterattack.
I have to help...'
When he thought of this, Musashi Hirata's sword and Su Yan's bone spear collided. Here, Bai Xian Ming was once again stunned by what he saw.
The moment the sword touched the bone spear, Su Yan's hands were twisted and blown away. Su Yan not only lost his spear, but also both of his hands.
"ARGHHHHH!!!" Su Yan screamed in pain.
However, the scream did not last long as Musashi Hirata's sword sliced Su Yan's body apart. His body was sliced in two and black gas oozed from his body.
Bai Xian Ming thought his old friend was really dead this time. His body was split in two, there was no way he could survive that. However...
"Kukuku!!!" A familiar hollow laugh sounded.
Bai Xian Ming looked over and saw that Su Yan's body had been reunited. Not only that, his hands had also grown back.
"Kukukuku... You are amazing! Magnificent!" Su Yan praised with a hearty laugh. Even though he was praising Musashi Hirata, he already raised his hand and there was a new bone spear in his hand.
"But what a pity, you have to die now!"
