Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Bastard!”

“Flame Wolf, what are you three doing?!”

When they saw that Wind Chimes fled from their grasp, Immortal and Peach Blossom roared at Flame Wolf and his group in exasperation. They were angry that the trio were unable to stop Happy from getting closer even when they worked together.

The trio’s expressions were dark as well.

“His weapon is strange! Even Bloody Hell Saber was injured by one slash, and I use fist techniques. If I fight against him with brute force, I’ll end up even worse!” Golden Rakkhasa was intimidated by the women’s statuses in the organization, and he could only explain in resignation.

“Excuses! You’ve been idle for too long, and you’ve already forgotten how to use your heads!

“Now, Wind Chimes has left, and we’ve exposed ourselves! When we go back, the leader will definitely say that we aren’t good at our jobs! At that time, I’d like to see how you’ll explain yourselves!”

While Immortal and Peach Blossom blocked Happy’s wild and bold offense, they snorted coldly to vent the displeasure in their hearts.

Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber could only seethe in anger.

But Happy found himself a little speechless. “You actually dare to be distracted and talk while fighting me?”

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

*****

Even though the two women’s Sword Control Art was incredibly fierce, was quick and deft in the transformations, and was swift and fierce, their damage was not actually high. When they clashed head-on against Happy, the two women could not gain an advantage at all. Instead, since they lacked support from their Arm Strength, they could not block the suppressive effect given to Happy from the additional 100 Arm Strength points from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

Each time they clashed, Happy could easily knock away their longswords, and once this happened twice, the two women were forced to move about the battlefield in search for a chance to attack.

Happy seized the chance and cast aside the two women. He swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword repeatedly before he charged out of the quintet’s encirclement like a tornado with the force of a bulldozer and charged straight into Ten Thousand Poison Matrix.

“You’re just asking for death!”

The Wild Wolves had their eyes light up. They were not horrified by this, but delighted.

Happy charging into Ten Thousand Poison Matrix was naturally good news for them! There were not only multiple poisonous creatures in the matrix, which would cause Happy to be poisoned if he were careless and have his strength be largely reduced, there were also two advantages for them if Happy went inside.

Because there were twelve extraordinary Gu poison insects hidden inside the matrix, and once they surrounded him, Happy would be like the stuffing in a dumpling. He would not be able to run.

One of their advantages was the Gu poison insects, and the other advantage was Immortal and Peach Blossom’s Sword Control Art.

The harmonious combination of the two swords in their Sword Control Art could allow them to bring out even more power when they were safe. Their attack speed would be astonishing, causing their enemy to have a hard time catching up with their offense.

What would happen next would just bring great enjoyment to Immortal and Peach Blossom.

As long as they could control their swords to kill from a safe spot, trapping Happy and killing him would be as easy as breathing.

“Hurry! Don’t let him run!”

“Wind Chimes might have run, but it’ll be good if we can kill Happy even once! At the very least, we can redeem Wild Wolves’ reputation a little!” The two women were delighted. In a great show of teamwork, they chased after Happy to the edge of the matrix, and their swords sliced through the air to enter the matrix.

The two women worked together harmoniously, and they attacked at the same time.

The swords traveled side by side before they began intersecting with each other and somersaulting to create layers of sword nets that went enveloping Happy. A normal person would find it hard to locate the true spot of the longswords.

Even top-class elites would have a hard time focusing and finding the true location of the longswords while they were in Ten Thousand Poison Matrix!

At the same time, Proud over All Life and the group of Gu poison disciples also noticed that Happy rushed into the matrix.

They did not hesitate.

More than savage and horrific Gu poison insects at the front line of the matrix retreated at the same time to surround Happy from different directions.

Proud over All Life said nothing, but a sinister and delighted spark shone in his eyes.

To him, Happy, who had accidentally entered the matrix, was now practically a dead man.

With the five Wild Wolves, Twelve Gu Poison Disciples, and Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, it would be strange if they still could not kill Happy!

However, once Happy entered the matrix, he did something unexpected.

He swung his sword vertically down.

It was a very normal move, but when he used it with Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, it could clearly produce abnormal effects.

The heavy sword descended on the ground like a bolt of lightning, and it brought it with a dull howl. Then, right before everyone’s eyes, he cut a wide trench that was more than thirty feet long.

A clear trench was instantly left behind on the sturdy ground.

Wherever the sword glare passed by, all the poisonous creatures in its path would be torn into powder by the fierce sword glare.

However, the number of poisonous creatures that were sacrificed could be said to be insignificant to Ten Thousand Poison Matrix.

The people saw that once Happy delivered that slash, he was soon surrounded, and he was about to descend into a desperate situation.

Once Happy’s slash caused a trench to be left behind on the ground, a layer of cracks suddenly stretched out like a spider web from the trench.

No one noticed any of this, because at that moment, Happy was the only person inside the matrix.

Besides, the circular area of dozens of feet around him were covered by a dense wave of poisonous insects, and no one would be able to notice it with their naked eye.

Since no one noticed this change, no one also noticed that Happy’s lips had curled into a faint arc once he delivered the slash.

When the Gu poison insects controlled by the Twelve Gu Poison Disciples and the longswords controlled by Immortal and Peach Blossom came over with intersecting sword nets to attack him...

Thud!

Happy stomped on the ground lightly.

Hidden force surged out.

Boom!

Within a short moment, the ground around Happy was flipped over!

The flagstone was flipped over, and there had been no prior sign signalling this!

Whoosh!

The nearest flagstone was turned over. Then, the flagstones that were covered by poisonous creatures to form the matrix were all sent flying into the air because of the explosive hidden force!

For a moment, Immortal, Peach Blossom, Proud over All Life, and the other people’s vision were all blocked by the numerous flagstones and poisonous creatures.

In their charge, the sharp and astonishing longswords from the ladies tore through multiple poisonous creatures and flagstones, causing the matrix’s power to be largely reduced.

The twelve Gu poison insects lost their target at that moment. They either stared at the flying flagstones and the torn remains of the poisonous creatures in front of them in bewilderment or were dragged into the chaos, and their bodies let out crackling sounds.

Some were stunned silent.

Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber did not understand why Happy did this, but they could clearly sense that the situation was not good.

While they had the ability to determine locations based on sound, when the matrix was filled with all sorts of sounds and the situation was incredibly chaotic, it was basically impossible for this ability to be useful.

At that moment, they could only use their eyes.

But Happy’s move had already allowed him to use Ten Thousand Poison Matrix to cause them to completely lose Happy’s location and judge where he was.

“Force him to show up!” Immortal and Peach Blossom reacted the fastest. They quickly shouted their order, “Hurry up! We can’t see him, but it’s also difficult for him to discern the area around him!”

The Twelve Gu Poison Disciples gave orders to their own Gu poison insects.

A bright red thread shot through the shattered flagstones and torn remains of the poisonous creatures like lightning to enter the area where Happy was.

Blood Cicada!

At that moment, tiny poisonous creatures would have a much easier time getting close to Happy and attack him.

Unfortunately for them, they had clearly underestimated the power in Tendon Changing Classic’s spiritual perception.

Even if he could not determine locations by sound and even if his eyes could not judge the changes in such a chaotic environment, his spiritual sense could allow him to control everything while remaining in a superior position.

If that were not the case, Happy would not have positioned himself in uncertain danger.

Blood Cicada!

When Happy saw the blood red light swiftly come closer to him, he swung his sword without hesitation.

A large, black aquatic dragon released a low roar, and it came down from above to cut that bloody red light at the right moment.

Boom!

The trail that was like a lightning bolt when the Blood Cicada approached Happy was devoured by a black glare. Its light dimmed, and soon, a loud bang rose. The petite Blood Cicada was instantly struck into the ground.

*****

The Gu poison disciple whose mind and soul had become one with his Blood Cicada only heard a sound resembling a thunderclap rise in the chaos while he stood on the stairs leading to Five Venoms’ branch. Then, sharp pain suddenly rose in his heart, and his face instantly turned pale and bloodless. He staggered backwards, as if he was struck by lightning, and he vomited blood before he fell limp.

“Death of Flutes!”

Proud over All Life’s expression changed. He immediately noticed that this was the sign of Gu poison disciples being affected because they shared their lives with their Origin Gu Poison Creature, which meant that they would also suffer the same amount of damage.

“Not good! Hurry up and summon your Blood Cicada back!”

The damage Death of Flutes suffered was getting worse, which meant that Blood Cicada was in an increasingly perilous situation.

The Gu poison disciples were also shocked.

“Connected Cities, prepare to save him!”

Proud over All Life was practically shouting at that point.

The person beside him said nothing else. He controlled a black and swollen insect to head forward a little.

Its mouth, which could not be seen clearly, spewed out a thick layer of black fog.

Wherever the fog went, some of the struggling and heavily injured poisonous creatures among the carcasses would look as if they had gained new life, and suddenly, they would be full of vigor, and they regained their mobility.

Clearly, this fog could increase the strength and vitality within poisonous creatures by a large degree. Not only could it cure their wounds, it would even make them even livelier than before.

The fog headed in the direction where Happy was.

This was a sign that it was prepared to save Blood Cicada, which was in a dangerous situation!

At that moment, crazed laughter suddenly rose from across the fog.

“Sect Master Proud, I’ll be taking the lives of these two Origin Gu Poison Creatures from your sect, hahahaha!”

Before Proud over All Life could react, Death of Flutes, who was already limp and dispirited by the side, suddenly coughed up blood, experienced a violent spasm in the arms of two Five Venoms’ members, shuddered stiffly, and rolled his eyes back.

“Sect master!”

“Big Brother Flute is...”

The Five Venoms members noticed that Death of Flutes’ pulse had stopped. They shuddered and called out to Proud over All Life hesitantly.

Before they could finish speaking, a black aquatic dragon suddenly charged out of the chaos, and with its teeth bared, it violently pounced on the swollen Gu poison insect that was still spitting out that black fog.

“Dream on!”

Connected Cities had been paying close attention to Death of Flutes’ situation. When he saw Death of Flutes spasming before dying, he immediately knew that his Gu poison insect would be the next target. Without hesitation, he ordered his pet to protect itself.

The swollen and black insect cried out, and the poisonous creatures around it charged to Happy as if they wanted to throw away their own lives.

At the same time, the Gu poison insect curled up and rolled to the main door like a ball.

“Haha... Thinking about running?!”

Happy laughed loudly. He did not care about the poisonous creatures that pounced on him. He just swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and a mighty sword glare instantly crushed those numerous poisonous creatures with the force of a bulldozer.

At the same time, hidden force erupted from underground and charged into the Gu poison insect’s body violently.

Thud!

The Gu poison insect let out a cry before it stopped moving.

Connected Cities had blood trickle out of the corner of his mouth while he was at the main door of Five Venoms’ branch. He stared at Happy, who broke through the poisonous creatures and pounced on his Origin Gu Poison Creature. His eyes were practically burning with how much he was glaring at Happy, and he shouted hysterically, “How dare you?!”

But while the other Gu poison disciples did their best to command their Origin Gu Poison Creatures to provide reinforcements, unfortunately for them, Happy just ignored them and moved past the swollen insect from above it. Then, his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword tore through the air, and he cut the insect in half from above.
