Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thud, thud...

Two Hoof Shadows that were black and handsome entered the forest one after the other. They continued to gallop forward as if they were traveling on flat ground.

The person in front was covered head to toe in golden armor while the person at the back had equipped himself with silver armor. They held swords in their hands while they struck their horses to head to a spot around sixty-five feet away. Then, they looked around the area.

They had already rushed for nearly an hour, so they should catch up to Barren Murderer and his group very soon.

Right when that thought flashed in All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s mind, a dull but powerful twang from a bow suddenly came from before them. Dozens of arrows shot forward and covered the area in front of Happy, who was in front of All-powerful Medicinal Stone.

His Hoof Shadow was galloping at a very fast speed, so it was impossible for him to dodge it. In the blink of an eye, Happy was struck by a lot of arrows, and the Hoof Shadow beneath him was also got hit a few times. Blood gushed out from its body, and it looked very miserable.

‘No good!’

“Ambush!”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone tensed up and quickly tugged at the reins of his horse while he shouted a warning.

It was no wonder then why they did not run into any of the people from Barren Murderer. He must have noticed something, and once he became certain of Happy’s location, he ordered his men to set up an ambush.

That was bad.

But when All-powerful Medicinal Stone looked up, he found that Happy did not care about it at all. Even though his Hoof Shadow was injured, he still continued onward without slowing down. He charged forward with a fierce momentum and instantly covered ninety-eight feet. He entered the depths of the forest without caring that there was an ambush ahead of him and did not bother about the fact that he did not know how many ambushers there were in total.

‘Damn it!’

All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s heart let out a loud thump. He struck his Hoof Shadow’s butt with a loud smack and rushed after Happy like an arrow which had been released from the bow. He could no longer care about whether there was danger ahead of him, since he could not let Happy rush into Class One Hall’s trap alone.

“Die, Class One Hall scum!”

When Happy rushed into the forest, dozens of Class One Hall members with great equipment quickly appeared in his sight. He did not say anything else and just stomped against the stirrup before jumping up from his horse. Then, he grabbed the closest person to him like a huge bird.

Since Class One Hall had set up an ambush, they had naturally been waiting for a long time, and they were not afraid of Happy.

“Kill him!” someone shouted in a low voice.

The forest swayed, and many robes fluttered in the wind. A group of people and horses surged out from all directions, surrounding Happy from three directions.

To his left was Barren Murderer, who walked at the front of his group with a majestic gait. His eyes were cold when he looked at Happy with smugness and laughed arrogantly.

“Hahahaha... I knew from the start that you would come with the intention of causing trouble for me, but do you think that I’m so easy to oppress? I’ll tell you, Happy, I’ll fulfill your wish today!”

He spoke with his voice infused with qi, and it could intimidate a person. He was also flanked by many Class One Hall elites, so anyone else in Happy’s place would have long ago been so terrified that they would be quivering in their boots, but none of it affected Happy.

At that moment, there was only Barren Murderer in his eyes.

“I’ll kill you!”

Happy did not give Barren Murderer the chance to continue spewing nonsense. He went straight up against the longsword from the Class One Hall member closest to him and twisted his Clear Abyss in an agile manner. The Class One Hall member was then full of openings, and without any hesitation, Happy drove his sword through the elite’s heart.

Happy kicked the corpse at Barren Murderer.

Barren Murderer was full of rage. He struck away the corpse Happy sent flying at him, and his gaze grew even colder while his expression remained arrogant.

“Happy, you’re underestimating me!” he said in a loud voice.

Right when he finished speaking, a ruthless energy suddenly surged out from his body.

Hiss!

His robes had been in perfect condition, but it seemed like an invisible force had caused them to burst apart suddenly, and pieces of them flew in all directions like arrows.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone was just in time to see this and the black and incredibly strange arm under the torn robe.

At the same time, a black layer of aura swiftly enveloped half of Barren Murderer’s body. His skin instantly turned into something that resembled metal, but was also black, just like a corpse that had lost its life, and that included his face.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone gasped, and his eyebrows twitched.

“What’s that martial art?”

Even though he did not quite know what it was, any strange martial art that caused a large change in one’s body and presence usually had an extraordinary background. Could it be that Barren Murderer was another successor of an ultimate technique?

“Happy, careful!”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone could only cry out a word of warning before ten people from Class One Hall separated themselves and surrounded him. All-powerful Medicinal Stone cursed and was forced to get down from his horse to fight.

*****

Happy was intercepted by Class One Hall members when he rushed to Barren Murderer. He quickly swung his Clear Abyss and used group damage as his main form of attack. His damage was more than 4,500, so even if his enemies had second-echelon equipment and Grandmaster Realm high-tier body fortifications, they could not avoid being injured. The moment they came into contact with him, the expressions of Class One Hall members changed drastically.

The strength of Clear Abyss instantly destroyed their attacks. The moment they engaged in a fight, they received quite severe internal injuries. At the sight of that, they could not help but question if he had really died recently.

They were caught off guard, and Happy’s Clear Abyss instantly killed more than twenty people!

“Let me!”

Barren Murderer had just spoken when Happy looked up. He saw a black aura take shape in the air and crash against him, who was surrounded by Class One Hall members.

Happy frowned.

Barren Murderer had inherited the same ultimate technique as in his previous life. It was the matchless and amazing martial art belonging to the eccentric martial artist, Undying King of Abyss. It was King of Abyss Art!

The user’s body would swiftly wither in exchange for astonishing defense and attack.

The defense of all parts of the body that were surrounded by black aura would improve several fold, to the point that weapons would have no effect on them. On top of that, the user’s attack would increase by leaps and bounds, and they could easily fight against people whose qi realms were higher than theirs.

In Happy’s previous life, Barren Murderer had used this matchless martial art to leave Class One Hall and create Death Region. He became the Undying King of Abyss that struck every martial artist with fear the moment they heard of him.

But right then, even though his King of Abyss Art looked astonishing, Barren Murderer’s qi realm was not high enough.

With just one glance, Happy could tell from the fact that Barren Murderer was not fully surrounded by black aura that he should only be able to execute 60% of King of Abyss Art.

“Get lost!”

A dazzling sword slash that moved about freely went charging at the black wind formed by Barren Murderer’s palms like lightning.

Boom!

The sword glare and wind from the palm exploded at the same time.

Before the loud sound could fade away, Barren Murderer’s frightening figure shot in front of Happy in a ferocious manner.

Happy did not try to receive it.

He was not afraid of fighting against Barren Murderer alone, but there were more than two hundred Class One Hall members around them, watching him with hostility, and he was forced to consider things more.

He had to kill Barren Murderer, but with King of Abyss Art protecting him, Barren Murderer’s body was as tough as steel. He was also a great player, and it was impossible for Happy to kill him in one shot. Once they engaged each other in a prolonged fight, Happy would use up a lot of qi, and he would be the one who would end up dead.

In just a flash, Happy made his decision!

Under Barren Murderer’s shocked and surprised gaze, Happy resolutely pulled back his Clear Abyss. He straightened his left hand and struck forward in Barren Murderer’s direction when the man came charging at him with an aggressive momentum.

Bang!

Under Barren Murderer’s puzzled gaze, Happy was sent crashing into the crowd like a cannonball.

The Class One Hall members had thought that the duo would be engaged in an astonishing battle, so they did not expect that Happy would not be able to withstand Barren Murderer’s attack at all. He had been sent flying with just one palm strike, and in their surprise, they subconsciously prepared themselves to pick up loot.

Shick, shick, shick, shick!

Dazzling sword glares rose within the crowd, and the Class One Hall members around Happy screamed in pain. The members at the outer layer of the encirclement realized that they had fallen into a trap and quickly retreated.

A golden figure chased after the Class One Hall members and ran into the middle of them like a phantom. Throughout it all, the beautiful tri-colored sword aura was flung about freely in a domineering fashion. There was a continuous number of people who were sent flying, and Barren Murderer roared in anger.

“Shameless!”
