Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

The tales of The Xing District had spread worldwide, its tales no longer limited to Star City. Now it had become the place where tourists would flock to. The famous delicacy, where the Blacksmith Association's headquarters located, and the most famous Pharmacy that sold wonder medicines.

Despite its tales, there would be always fools trying something funny. A group of twelve bandits bypassed the security guard in disguise as a normal civilian. As soon as they entered the district, they sheathed out their weapons to the air.

"Leave your belongings on the ground!" A man with a scar on his forehead took out a handgun, pointing the muzzle toward the woman with a fancy dress. The other bandits also tried to scare the other visitors with their guns, asking for their belongings.

The visitors and the woman in a fancy dress showed no fear. The people around merely looked at the group as if they were a clown.

But soon, a gong resounded through the district five times in total. The bandit leader did not have any understanding about the gong, but soon they noticed something that baffled them. He merely looked toward the gong's direction, but the moment he looked around again, the people disappeared, and the shop closed.

"Huh!?" The Bandit Leader gasped in shock at the sight of an empty district. They were not the native of Star City, in fact, before coming to the city, they were a band of bandits in the wild.

However, two weeks ago, his newest subordinate told him about the flourishing district where the wealthy people often visited. His subordinate told him the district was in the outermost city, near the gate. The Bandit Leader wanted to try his luck, robbing these people, and immediately ran before the heroes arrived.

But never crossed his mind that he would encounter such a situation, "Where's everyone going?" The Bandit Leader freaked at the unusualness of the district. But soon, he noticed something amiss, none of his subordinates answered his call. He looked around and his subordinates got knocked down. All of them laid down with their face kissing the ground.

The Bandit Leader was freaked out, he was about to scream as his mouth opened wide. In the next moment, darkness invaded him, and the Bandit Leader lost consciousness.

In the next ten seconds, the twelve bandits' bodies disappeared from the street. After that, the shops opened again and the visitors flocked out from shops, most of them grumbling about the idiots who tried to rob the district.

"Where those fools come from?"

"But it's been some time, don't expect some backwaters people like them still exist,"

Most of them cursed the bandit while a few of them made a sarcastic remark for the bandit. It was only temporary before they continued their activity.

Xing Smith, a place heroes always visited when they came to the district. Blacksmith Huang, the respected figure that heroes respected was working in this smith. It was the heroes' dream to get a weapon made by this respected figure.

However, it had been three months since Blacksmith Huang locked himself in his working room. He was working on a weapon that would be the main attraction of The Xing Auction House.

Inside the working room, Blacksmith Huang's laughter resounded. His laughter filled the room, a burst of contentment laughter, satisfaction, and also joyous. In his hand, he was holding a blacks sword with a red sheen on the sharp side.

"Finally! Finally, I created the weapon that even My Master could not even make!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world.

Two figures chased after one figure, two humans, and a humanoid monster. The monster was flying in the sky, running away from the two madmen who kept chasing him for three days non-stop.

"You are not going anywhere, Faun!" Sun Zhou Yi yelled to the monster. Right after that, the space around them distorted, most of the distorted space surrounded Goun.

"Shit! Not again!" Goun stopped running and summoned a transparent red barrier.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless Ki Swords came out from the distorted spaces, raining Faun down from the direction he could not predict. The moment the Ki Sword touched the barrier, the sword exploded. Soon, the barrier was surrounded by Ki Explosion.

A moment later, a shadow flashed out from the explosion. Despite the terrifying explosion, Faun left unscathed as he tried to run away again. However, not far from the explosion, Musashi Hirata had been waiting for him.

After the Ki Explosion, Storm Blades greeted him. Goun's hand moved, leaving mirage as he reflected all blades that came to him. With his bare hands, he reflected all blades and kept his life intact.

"Stop! Stop!" Goun screamed to the top of his lungs. It was effective, Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi ceased the attack.

"Why do you keep chasing me? I am not your enemy!" Goun frustratedly questioned the two Emperor Class Heroes. He failed to shake them away from him three days straight. Trying to defeat, after an hour of fighting, Goun was aware he could not defeat, and they could not beat him too.

Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata exchanged glances for a moment, "We want to beat you!" Sun Zhou Yi replied to the monster calmly. He did not say he wanted to kill but beat him, but it sounded the same in Goun's ears 

"But why? I never disturbed the Human establishment, let alone killing them!" Goun yelled at Sun Zhou Yi.

"Because we want to beat you! Don't you hear him?" Musashi Hirata gave the monster the same answer. Yes, they wanted to pay back the monster years ago. They were easily defeated before now they wanted to have a rematch.

"Good gods! Do you want to fight, then let's fight!" Knowing there was no way to get away from the two madmen, Goun charged toward Musashi Hirata.

In unexplored land, a big battle ensued. Even though it was two against one, Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi failed to make use of their advantage to win against Goun. The battle lasted for a week, but none of them won.

At the end of the week, three figures were laying down inside the pit, close to each other. Their breathing was calm and three of them looked fine from the outside. Goun looked toward the sky dazedly, he still could not believe that he could not win even after going all out.

While he was in a daze, he felt movement from humans. He immediately stood up, but his body swayed slightly before he could stabilize properly in the next second. He thought humans wanted to continue the fight, but the two were smiling toward him.

"It seems Master is right, we can't still beat someone at God-Level, but we showed a big improvement. At least, we did not lose," the human who used Ki Sword and Spatial technique told the other human who adept in the sword.

"We are still lacking," the swordsman remarked with a sigh.

Goun watched the two humans conversing warily. But they were conversing among themselves, ignoring his presence. After a moment, the human who adept in spatial technique waved his hand at him, "Thank you for accompanying us, there's no winner for now, but we will come back to get even!"

After those remarks, Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi shot to the sky, leaving the bewildered Goun.
