Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 201 Distraction - Part 1

Bai Xian Ming thought he would die, but a figure appeared before him and reflected the incoming spear.

Whoosh!

A flame arrow flashed toward Su Yan's chest, but he immediately hid his body in the shadow. The flame arrow missed the target.

He did not retreat as the black spear shot toward the figure who protected Bai Xian Ming.

This time, Bai Xian Ming reacted. He intended the figure in front of him to retreat. However, to his surprise, when his hand reached the man's hand, the man won't budge.

Musashi Hirata frowned when a hand reached his shoulder, trying to pull him. But he stood firmly in his stance as he slashed his sword down to the spear.

The black spear made of the bone was cut by his sword. Hirata did not stop here. Right after that, he aimed his sword at the shadow and impaled the shadow with his sword.

Urgh!

The moment his sword pierced the shadow, a pained grunt rang. The shadow immediately made some distance from Hirata.

Su Yan came out of the shadow when the distance between them was about 15 meters. He had a shocked look etched on his face as his eyes landed on Musashi Hirata's sword.

He was shocked that his bone was easily cut. The thing that he did not understand was, he could feel pain again. This was the first time he felt pain since he turned into a specter.

"That's a good sword!" 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 with the youngster's eyes. Calmness and strong confidence reflected in the youngster's eyes.

After those words came out of his sword, Su Yan smiled, a happy smile at that. Yes, he was happy to meet with the youngster.

After exchanging a look with Hirata, Su Yan's eyes fell to the sword again. He looked at the sword carefully and his smile widened as he confirmed something.

"You can use Ki!" Su Yan exclaimed before he muttered in a low voice to himself, "No wonder…" He looked at the closed wound on his shoulder.

If one looked carefully, they could see faint blue energy shrouded the sword. Su Yan could see it and his grin became wider and wider after that.

Meanwhile, a frown appeared on Musashi Hirata's words. He heard every word that came out from the specter in front of him. He was surprised when the specter said he could use Ki.

It meant the specter in front of him knew something about Ki. It was a rare case as he thought it was His Master's special technique.

'He knows something about Ki. Shall I catch him alive and hand him over to Master? He knows our secret!'

Yes, Musashi Hirata thought Ki was a secret technique cultivated by his Master.

Su Yan was oblivious to the youngster's thoughts who wanted to catch him alive. He looked to his Old Friend and said with a smile, "Old Friend! If you are still alive after this battle, you should groom him well! He's a promising youngster!"

Bai Xian Ming was clueless about Ki, but even without Su Yan's words, he would do so.

"If you can groom him well, he will surpass us for sure. But of course, I will stop that from happening. I will kill him as he's a dangerous existence for us, the specters!"

"Shut up! You this filthy creature also chatty!" Musashi Hirata was annoyed by Su Yan. This specter was clearly an enemy, but he acted friendly but also chatty. Moreover…

"Is he your friend, Old Man!?" Musashi Hirata's tone was assertive as he questioned Bai Xian Ming.

Even though he heard no words come out of Bai Xian Ming's mouth. But the specter was clearly talking to the old man.

Despite knowing the old man's identity, he did not put any respect to Bai Xian Ming. Because he could tell that the specter was this old man's friend.

The only person he respected was Heero and he knew his Master hated specter to the core. He had this conclusion after occasionally talking about the specter with his Master. From Heero's tone, he could tell his Master abhor the specter.

When the topic about the specter was brought up. He could feel faint killing intent from his Master. His Master abhorred the specter, he certainly also the same.

Hence Hirata put no respect when he was speaking to the old man after finding out the specter 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 pissed off by the taunt. He was also a human before and he would have the same thought if it was the old him met with specters.

He would also call Specter a filthy creature. However, he was a specter now. His view regarding humans was also low, he regarded humans as livestock. Ready to be butchered or reared to be one of them.

That was why he was indifferent to the heroes who had fallen around him despite his past identity.

It was just that he was a bit fortunate as he still could maintain his rationality. He could still have a chat with his old friend because of a little rationality as a human.

"I don't care about your relationship with this old man! You are a specter and you have to die!"

After Musashi Hirata said that, he sheathed his sword back. He positioned himself to Draw Sword's stance.

"Kukuku… You are also dangerous and you have to be killed as well! Get ready, young'un! I will be serious this time!" Su Yan replied with a laugh while his two hands pulled two spear bones from his back.

His expression also brightened as he looked at Hirata's stance and muttered, "So you are a boy from Musashi Clan! Tsk! That stubborn old man surely has a promising successor!"

Su Yan was still calm and composed despite facing Musashi Clan's secret technique. It was not that he underestimated Musashi Hirata, it was because he was familiar with this technique.

Even the old fogeys from the Musashi Clan would not waste their time to use the Draw Sword on him. They knew the Draw Sword would never work on him, let alone a mere inexperienced youngster like Hirata.

Su Yan was confident in countering Hirata's Draw Sword. He also shook his head, feeling pity such a promising youngster would die before he could bloom.

As he focused his eyes on Hirata, he noticed the youngster's figure blurred. It was the same as if he vanished into thin air, but then the youngster appeared right before him in the next moment.

He was caught off guard with the youngster's footwork. However, he did not have time to wonder how this youngster could achieve such amazing footwork.

Su Yan immediately put his two bone spears forward, blocking the incoming sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

This time, the bone spear succeeded in blocking the sword. The two bone spears in Su Yan's hands were stronger than the beforehand spear.

However, once again, Su Yan realized he underestimated the youngster too much. Even though he managed to block the sword, he failed to negate the force behind the sword.

He was getting pushed back by blocking the sword, creating another opening for the youngster.

Once again, Musashi Hirata's figure blurred and appeared again in front of Su Yan. He had his sword up with both of his hands. At the same time, the sword also produced a strange sound.

Wenggggggg!

After the Draw Sword, Musashi Hirata kept up with the Quake Sword.

Swoosh!

The sword descended toward Su Yan. However, Su Yan could still maintain his calm despite being cornered. He stabilized his two spears and put it up to block the incoming sword.

Even Bai Xian Ming had his eyes widened in a shock. He just could not believe what he witnessed.

At first, he wanted to stop Musashi Hirata to fight against Su Yan. However, he was too late as Hirata acted faster than him. Now he was shocked by what he watched.

Musashi Hirata was at an advantage after the first strike. The second strike, Musashi Hirata pushed back his Old Friend.

But he knew his old friend well. After Su Yan received the second, he would start to counter-attack.

'I have to help…'

When he thought of this, Musashi Hirata's sword and Su Yan's bone spear clashed. Here, Bai Xian Ming was stunned by what he witnessed once again.

The moment the sword touched the bone spear, Su Yan's hands were twisted and blasted away. Yes, Su Yan not only lost his spear but his both hands as well.

"ARGHHHHH!!!" Su Yan shrieked in pain.

However, the scream did not last long as Musashi Hirata's sword slashed Su Yan's apart. His body was cut into two and black gas oozed out from his body.

Bai Xian Ming thought his old friend was dead for sure this time. His body was split, after all, there was no way he could survive from this. However...

"Kukuku!!!" A familiar hollow laugh resounded.

Bai Xian Ming looked and found Su Yan's body rejoined again. Not only that, but his hands also grew back.

"Kukukuku!!!! You are amazing! Splendid!" Su Yan praised with a hearty laugh. Even though he praised 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!"
