Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

They fell down!

At the moment Happy landed in front of Xiao Shan and the man with the long flute, two Ming Cult members moved like kites with their strings snapped. He weaved his way through them, and they fell one after another on the ground, unable to stand up anymore.

The Ming Cult members around Happy instinctively looked in his direction as if they had been struck by lightning!

They saw that the fallen Ming Cult members had a terrifying trail of blood that was about two feet long drawn from their throats to their waists. Even though they were Mystical Realm players and their body fortifications were not weak, they were actually killed instantly with one slash?

The Ming Cult members who originally wanted to go up to block Happy and his party felt as if lead filled their legs. They could not take half a step forward even after a long time had passed. They just stared from a distance with shock and fear.

Zhou Yu was also stunned slightly!

Even though he had heard about Happy’s sword thrust that had managed to kill Class One Hall’s Vice Hall Master Barren Murderer in one hit and how astonishing it was, the sword slash Happy executed just then was very normal. It did not seem like the rumored secret technique.

Besides, when he heard the people behind him discussing it, their words made him notice the Nation Protecting Divine Sword Happy held in his hands.

There were three colors flowing around the sword, and it had an additional layer that shone with a magnificent and phantasmal color after it fused with the other three colors. It looked incredibly noble and mysterious. The sharpness of the longsword could be seen clearly, and it was even more dazzling than the Heavenly Sword Emei Sect’s Mistress Annihilation had held.

Zhou Yu felt his heart tremble!

For the first time ever, a solemn expression appeared on his face. He scowled and uttered two words that were barely audible, “Fourth echelon.”

There were two other people who managed to recognize the weapon in Happy’s hands.

They were Dream Clouds and Blood Robes, who were on the six great system-allocated sects’ side. Both of them had seen many third-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Swords, so they could naturally tell that while the sword Happy held was Nation Protecting Divine Sword, it was even more awe-inspiring and aggressive than third-echelon ones. It was like a divine weapon!

Their expressions turned pale.

Alarm and panic flashed for a brief moment in their eyes.

Third-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Swords increased the damage by 1,250 points, but a fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword was a monstrous product!

It had supreme grade materials that were worth more than one hundred million taels of silver fused into it during refinement, and all its attributes had been increased up to 300%, which meant that it had a total of 2,000 damage.

The increase in attack speed of Nation Protecting Divine Speed was not that obvious during the initial refinements, but during the later stages, the increase in attack speed by 300% made Happy’s normal attacks look like secret techniques, and with that terrifying damage, he produced the effect that caught the two Ming Cult members off guard. It was enough to strike them down like they were twigs.

At that moment, Dream Clouds and Blood Robes were not the only ones who felt uneasy. Everyone in the area felt the threat that came from Happy.

He was like a sword that was still in its sheath, but already displayed his abilities as he approached them slowly.

For a brief moment, the chaotic battlefield paused.

Everyone’s gazes were focused on Happy as he walked slowly to Zhang Wuji.

“Stop him!” Once he snapped out of his daze, Zhou Yu quickly gave an order to the man next to him.

Xiao Shan reacted quickly and left behind an afterimage in his place.

The flautist also placed the flute in front of his mouth in an agile motion for the first time ever and started playing.

Once the sound of the flute rose, Happy noticed that the area around him had begun to become distorted. Warning bells rang in his heart, and without a single bit of hesitation, he swung his sword in the direction of the powerful wind.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, Xiao Shan appeared and cut at Happy.

Golden Bell Cocoon!

Xiao Shan’s teamwork with the flautist was perfect. He could use the suddenness of his movements to kill people in one strike the moment the flautist controlled them with his Soul Capturing Flute Note.

But he did not think that Happy’s reaction speed would be much faster!

Golden Bell Cocoon appeared around his body.

Xiao Shao’s certain kill strike was one of the three great killing moves from Jing Wuming, and it contained astonishingly destructive abilities.

Unfortunately, its destructive properties were Xiao Shan’s greatest reason for failure.

The rebound from the golden bell caused the purlicue in Xiao Shan’s sword-wielding hand to tear. He froze for a moment, and a dazzling light that was not at all inferior to his fatal slash sliced past his vision!

One slash in exchange for the other!

Happy was still uninjured, but Xiao Shan paid with his life.

Thud!

When Xiao Shan fell to the ground, a barely audible gust of wind struck the center of the flautist’s sternum quietly. He shuddered, and the notes instantly came to a stop. He staggered a few feet backward and coughed up blood all over the ground. His face turned as pale as a sheet.

Ancient Wind’s eyes went wide. It was only at that moment that he realized that the cold but frail-looking girl in front of him was a rarely seen elite.

She had managed to injure the flautist with one finger, which was an ability that no normal person possessed.

One of the two elites by Zhang Wuji’s right had died, and the other was injured. It happened in an instant, and it shocked as well as intimidated the Ming Cult players once more. The people nearby moved backward, and when they looked at Happy walking over slowly, it seemed like they were looking at some sort of terrifying beast.

When Zhou Yu saw that things had progressed to this state, he understood that it was impossible for him to block the enemy.

He could only watch as Happy, Momo, and Ancient Wind strike at Zhang Wuji.

Boom!

Even though Zhang Wuji was heavily injured, he still had the power to counterattack. He delivered a palm strike to each of the trio.

A powerful force rose and swept outwards!

In an instant, sand and stones rose into the air. Dust swirled in the area, and Momo as well as Ancient Wind were the first to be affected. They were forced back and sent flying away while coughing up blood nonstop. However, since Zhang Wuji was heavily injured, he did not have the ability to kill the trio instantaneously.

Happy remained in the dust.

At the moment Zhang Wuji’s attack was about to touch him, he activated Golden Bell Cocoon and Petite Dragon to avoid the attack by a hair’s breadth. He also became the only person to not be forced to retreat after Zhang Wuji’s attack.

Dragon Capture! Stormy Shadowless Kick!

At the moment Happy shot forward, he seized Zhang Wuji’s arm and pushed his palm against the man’s chest as quickly as lightning.

Bang!

The moment his palm touched Zhang Wuji’s body, Happy could clearly feel an incredibly strange power circulating in Zhang Wuji’s body.

Zhang Wuji’s body flew out from the dust! He landed on the ground and coughed up blood.

As for Happy, he was forced more than thirty feet back because of the power of Nine Yang Divine Skill that was reflected by Zhang Wuji’s body.

‘As expected of Zhang Wuji.’

But Happy was not someone easy to deal with. Even though he knew that Zhang Wuji was incredibly tough because he had Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Heaven and Earth Great Shift, which meant that he could shift the location of his vital accupressure points at any moment he desired to reduce the damage on his body, every single time he did that, the burden on his body became even greater.

At the moment Happy was sent flying, he patted his waist, and a Soaring Eagle Sword sliced through the air to chase after Zhang Wuji.

“Dream on!” Zhou Yu flew into a rage.

He had been helpless when Happy and his party fought against Zhang Wuji, but if he let Happy injure Zhang Wuji severely by himself, Zhou Yu’s dignity would be crushed.

He flung his silver spear forward, and a piercing glare sliced through the air to block the Soaring Eagle Sword perfectly.

Unfortunately for him, it was not that easy to intercept Happy’s Soaring Eagle Sword.

Thud!

The overlapping Soaring Eagle Sword split up beforehand.

Clang!

In the end, Zhou Yu only managed to block one Soaring Eagle Sword. The other two continued toward Zhang Wuji.

When Happy’s attack was about to be effective, someone descended from the sky!

His fingers were like metal when he seized the Soaring Eagle Swords that had arrived in front of Zhang Wuji. Then, the exquisite and sharp Soaring Eagle Swords were instantly reduced to scrap metal by the old but powerful hands.

“Enough!”

White-browed Eagle King was like a towering mountain while standing beside Zhang Wuji. When he looked at the teenager who was heavily injured but whose expression remained the same, for the first time ever, a gentle look that was rarely seen on him appeared on his stern face and eyes.

“Grandpa.”

Zhang Wuji wore a pained smile, but it was his address that made the expression of White-browed Eagle King to change drastically, even though his countenance had not changed once while he faced the elites from the six great system-allocated sects!
