Heero opened his eyes and glanced at Bearded Wang.

In front of his daughter, Butcher Wang bravely declared he would slaughter every creature that dared to attack the city. Yet now, he was nervous and he noticed Bearded Wang's hand slightly trembling from nervousness.

"Tsk, if you are afraid, you can be a spectator and watch me fight these filthy creatures!" Heero clicked his tongue and remarked.

"Who said I am afraid! Before you were born, I went outside and hunted the wild beast! How could the current me be afraid of these weaklings!" Bearded Wang hit his chest and declared proudly, trying to shake his nervousness.

"I will prove to my daughter that not only Sun Zhou Yi can face off thousands of beasts, but her father is also capable!" Added Butcher Wang strongly.

Until now, Butcher Wang still thought Heero was a man in his early 20s. This was the reason he was being friendly rather than respected Heero like the other disciples. He could not shake the awkwardness from calling someone younger than him with Master.

Heero rolled his eyes and said, "Unfortunately, you can't get into action. Your job is to guard the gate, taking care of the specter that slips out. The battlefield is mine!"

"But why? I want to fight as well!" Butcher Wang could not accept Heero's arrangement.

As for why he wanted to fight, it was because of his daughter. Lan Lan always praised Sun Zhou Yi and Heero before him, but never praised him once since Heero and Sun Zhou Yi appeared in their lives.

As a father, he was quite jealous and wanted to prove to his daughter that he was not less amazing than Heero and Sun Zhou Yi. Now the chance had come, there was no way he would miss this chance.

"If you join the fray, you will be on my way! Just watch the gate for me!" Heero waved his hand at Butcher Want before he sheathed a sword from his waist.

It was a longsword, having a similar curve to katana but the sword was too long to be a katana. The sword was about two meters in length and the sword handle occupied 40 centimeters.

The sharp side was blood red, shining under the sunray while the blunt side was black.

Butcher Wang did not know what Heero wanted to do. He did not retort back but just looked at Heero.

During his apprenticeship under Heero, he never saw this guy fight seriously. Once in a while, they would hold a spar, three against one.

Even so, Butcher Wang could feel that Heero was toying with them. He never saw this young man's limit. When he thought he was about to catch up, Heero would show something that the gap between them was akin to sky and earth.

Looking at Heero's calm yet solemn expression, Butcher Wang decided not to insist on joining the fight.

"I comprehended this technique after fighting with a real Phoenix! Watch carefully, you might gain something!" Said Heero while looking at the distance.

The dust rose and the ground slightly vibrated. The horde was getting closer and closer.

Hearing Heero's words, Butcher Wang rolled his eyes. Phoenix was a mythical creature that only appeared in tales. Butcher Wang did not believe Heero's nonsensical remark.

"Tsk You didn't believe internal energy called Ki exists in the past, in the end?" Heero clicked his tongue, causing the solemn atmosphere to turn awkward.

Yes, in the past, Butcher Wang did not believe the thing called internal energy or Ki. But he was choked by his own words when he felt the wonder of Ki.

Now, the same thing repeated again. Butcher Wang thought Heero was bluffing. But this time he was convinced that a creature like Phoenix only existed in a fantasy story.

"Just bluff all you want! I don't believe it!"

"Then watch this carefully!" As Heero said those out, he inhaled a long breath.

Even though Butcher Wang did not believe in the Phoenix thing, he still looked at Heero carefully. He knew Heero wanted to show something to him. Something that was beneficial to him.

After a moment, he felt some heat on his skin. At first, it was slightly warm, but then later, it was getting hotter and hotter.

What shocked him was that the heat originated from Heero. However, he saw no fire around Heero. He concentrated his Ki to protect him from the heat, but it did not help him as the burning sensation on his skin was getting stronger.

Without hesitation, Butcher Wang distanced himself from Heero. Only after the distance between him and Heero ten meters apart that the burning sensation vanished. However, he could still feel the strong heat originated from Heero.

He was confused at first, using his Mystical Eyes, he scanned Heero. As soon as he activated Mystical Eyes, he staggered three steps back in a shock.

The Ki around Heero was raging and there was a big difference the Ki he saw now. Ki had a blue unique color, but the Ki around Heero was deep red.

The Ki was raging just like a storm and he realized the heat he felt was this red Ki.

Then, Butcher Wang felt the vibration on the ground was getting stronger, an indication the horde was about to reach the gate. He looked into the distance, the horde had reached 500 meters away from the gate.

Then a figure flashed toward the horde. With his Mystical Eyes, he managed to identify this figure. This figure was Heero, his Master

His eyes glued to Heero, he wanted to know what Heero wanted to do. However, soon he noticed something amiss. He felt the bright sky just now darkened.

Butcher Wang looked up and stunned. His body stoned on his spot with his eyes widened. In his eyes, shock, unbelievable, fear, and awe mixed together. Butcher Wang himself did not know the feelings he felt right now

He just could not believe the mythical creature that only appeared in tales was projected before his eyes.

Yes, Butcher Wang witnessed something he could not believe to exist, a Phoenix.

Right above Heero, a phoenix made of crimson flame appeared. The phoenix's wingspan reached 40 meters and its brilliance tails were about 20 meters.

A giant phoenix truly appeared in front of him.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

In the quiet atmosphere, he could hear his own heartbeat as he looked up to the Phoenix. He did not blink his eyes as his gaze glued to the phoenix.

Then, he remembered the conversation between him and Heero.

u003cI comprehended this technique after fighting with a real Phoenix! Watch carefully, you might gain something!u003e

'Don't tell me he truly has met the real one!?!'

Schreeecchhh!!!

The screech awakened Butcher Wang from his thoughts. He saw the phoenix diving to the horde. Yes, in a flash, the phoenix slammed toward the horde.

BOOM!

The crimson fire was raging, sweeping half of the horde in an instant. As for Butcher Wang, a strong hot gust blew his face.

Seeing the scene before him, he was like seeing a nuke. The explosion caused a big mushroom flame to the sky. The ground was trembling fiercely.

Despite the hot gust blew his face, Butcher Wang did not even glance his eyes for once. His eyes glued to the mushroom-shaped flame. The crimson flame swept the specters, burning them, not leaving even ash.

Just as he thought Heero was done, Butcher Wang noticed a streak yellow lightning flashed to the sky.

Rumble! Rumble!

The sky darkened as thunder flashed on the sky. He squinted his eyes at the figure in the sky.

Butcher Wang saw the weapon on Heero's hand had changed. Now Heero was holding a spear in his hand.

"What now?" Butcher Wang blurted out unconsciously.

As soon as he said that, once again, his eyes widened, as if his eyes would pop out from its socket.

The shock from seeing a phoenix made of flame had not died down yet. Now another mythical creature projected before his eyes.

Yes, another mythical creature appeared. This time it was a dragon, a dragon made of yellow lightning was coiling around Heero.

Hah! Hah! Hah!

Butcher Wang found himself hard to breathe. Then, he saw Heero's figure streaking down to the remaining horde.

The yellow dragon also followed closely behind Heero.

Roar!

A deafening roar resounded as if the yellow dragon was alive.
