Chapter 07 The Sun Was Shot Down

The leaders of the six sectors pointed at the young man in black. They stared at him, but the young man was not afraid, and smiled at the six sector leaders. The young man said, "This is your last warning. Scam or die."

Bai Tao asked, "Who are you?"

Yuan Dai said, "Don't worry about me, right hand guard, go help chief Yuan."

The six sector leaders muttered among each other, "Right hand guard, does that mean?"

Bu Chushen said deeply, "You are Zan Huangming."

Xie Zhangke, "What did you said? He is Zan Huangming?"

The six sector leaders back away from Zan Huangming, swallowing down thier saliva hard.

Ning Weibang, "Zan Huangming, 'Killer Strings'."

Dai Liting said, "Why are we afraid of him? There is only one of him and many of us." He sprinted toward Zan Huangming with many other martial artists.

Zan Huangming smirked and said, "I guess you choose to die." Zan Huangming threw his two golden bells into the air, and the two golden bells were pulled apart by his internal force. He directed his inner force to the fingertips of his right middle finger and grabbed the guzheng string back to his waist. He retracted his hand and let go of the guzheng string.

The powerful energy wave of the guzheng string rushed past Dai Liting and the martial artists who charged behind him. The five sector leaders flew up, avoiding the powerful energy wave. The powerful energy wave destroyed the four lion statues standing behind the five sector leaders. More than twenty martial artists who followed Dai Liting died where they stands and they were cut in half included Dai Liting.

Now that the remain five sector leaders saw the strength of Zan Huangming, they began to retreat from Zan Huangming, Yuan Dai, and Yuan Zixin.

Zan Huangming grabbed Yuan Dai and Yuan Zixin and they flew toward Yuan Yu who was fighting against Jia Jin, the leader of Jinfeng Sector. Zan Huangming kicked at Jia Jin, and Jia Jin blocked the kick with his Dragon Palms Strikes. Yuan Yu took the opportunity to strike Jia Jin, but Jia Jin already hit Yuan Yu with his Dragon Palms Strikes, causing Yuan Yu to stumbled backward and crashed onto the role of chairs.

Yuan Dai and Yuan Zixin rushed towards Yuan Yu, while Zan Huangming rushed towards Jia Jin. Yuan Dai helped Yuan Yu up and began to transfer his internal energy to Yuan Yu.

Yuan Yu said with blood gushing out from his mouth, "Left hand guard, don't waste your energy anymore. Jia Jin, dragon palms strikes has already destroyed all the twelve major meridians in my body. It's useless at this point to try to heal me." More blood gushed from his mouth. "Take as many members as you can and leave now. As long as there is still one member, one day our sector's name will be known again."

Yuan Dai, "Chief Yuan…"

Yuan Yu, "This is the last order I give you."

Yuan Dai, "Chief Yuan, don't worry... Our sun was shot down today, but one day, our sun will rise again. We will let every martial artists prostrate under our feet."

Jia Jin pointed his sword at Zan Huangming. He said, "Who are you? Your inner strength has surpassed your youth."

Zan Huangming said, "Zan Huangming, Sunset Sector."

Bai Tao shouted from the door at Jia Jin, "Leader Jin…that is Zan Huangming… 'Killer Strings'."

Jia Jin looked at Zan Huangming and said, "I thought the right hand guard of demon Yuan Yu was an old man, but I didn't expect it to be a young man."

Zan Huangming, "Fortunately, you didn't met my father, if you meet my father, you will no longer have legs to stand." He looked at Yuan Yu, Yuan Dai and Yuan Zixin. "Dai da ge, take them out of here now."

Zan Huangming let out a guzheng string directly at Bai Tao who was standing at the door. The guzheng string pierced Bai Tao's heart, and the old Taoist died where he was standing. Yuan Dai, Yuan Yu, Yuan Zixin rushed out from the door. Zhan Huangming rushed towards the opened door, but swayed his body back and sent out ten guzheng strings at Jia Jin.

Yuan Yu held the door with his back. He shouted at Yuan Dai and Zan Huangming, "Get out of here." He vomited more blood. Then a sword pierced through the door panel and pierced Yuan Yu's left chest. He looked at Zan Huangming. "Huangming, take them away. I can't hold it anymore." He vomited more blood. "Now…"

Zan Huangming grabbed two swords from the ground and gave Yuan Dai a sword. He said, "Protect your son and let me do the killing."

Yuan Zixin looked back at Yuan Yu who was blocking the door to prevent Jia Ji from coming out, when Jia Ji stabbed him with a sword. He watched his father and Zan Huangming struggle to escape. He was only four years old that day, but he remembered everything as clearly as it just happened yesterday.

When the hatred disappeared from Yuan Zixin's eyes. He closed his eyes and said, "That was seventy years ago, and I still dreamt about it."

Yuan Chaomei asked, "What happened to right guard Zan?"

Yuan Zixin, "We hid, he insisted on revenge, so he left me and my father, he went to seek revenge alone. He did killed all those who participated in the sunset battle, but unfortunately he was seriously injured. We don't know, if he is still alive or not." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "If he is still alive, he should be over ninety years old."

Yuan Chaomei, "Godfather, what happen after that?"

Yuan Zixin, "After the death of guard Zan, our members died one by one. My father and I hid. It took me fifty years to rebuild my foundation, destroying those so-call martial artists one by one. I helped other sectors killed my most difficult opponent. I finally got rid of Mu Jiao Long, then ten years later, I met another difficult opponent."

Yuan Chaomei, "Do you mean Mu Dishi?"

Yuan Zixin, "Yes, Mu Dishi is even more unreasonable than Mu Jiao Long. He has the 'killing string' of guard Zan, but refuses to rebuild the sunset sector. I wasted three hours to convince him, but he simply refused to talk to me and walked away." He sighed. "That's why the burden falls on your shoulders."

Yuan Chaomei, "Is this the reason Mu Dishi died?"

Yuan Zixin, "Yes, Mu Dishi died for that very reason, unless he will stand in my way when I attack Tianshan. Now my biggest obstacle is gone, I can focus on our return in the martial arts world. Chaomei, soon, the entire martial arts world will hear our name again. We will rise again and become the greatest sector, like when Leader Yuan was our sector leader many years ago. Soon everyone across the martial arts world will bow before our feet, no martial artist in martial arts world will not know Sunset Sector. Our Sun that was shot down, will rise again…ha…ha…ha…ha…"
