  "Even though even I am skeptical of that, I believe that the people inside would not use their lives to joke around!" He paused for a moment before he continued his explanation in the silence that had settled around him. "By now, the people inside should have already noticed that we've prepared for an assault. My suggestion is to act immediately! Once we give them enough time to prepare, even if we manage to kill Happy and his party, we might need to pay a great price for it."

  Once he finished speaking, everyone in the group had contemplative and hesitant looks.

  Even though Ji Feng's criticism of their views made them feel a little embarrassed, they had to admit that his words were logical. Yet they were hesitant because Happy, whose strength was unfathomable, was not the only person inside. There was also Dead She-wolf, who was at Life and Death Realm. If they rushed into the chamber, they might end up with unexpected sacrifices.

  "I know what you're worried about." Ji Feng looked at his sect members' expressions before he said, "Dead She-wolf has always only attacked the target closest to her. As long as we maintain our distance, we won't attract her attention. But if we keep waiting like this, the situation will change, and we won't be able to tell what will happen next."

  His words finally managed to dispel everyone's uncertainties.

  "Alright!"

  "We'll do as Ji Feng said! Those with high-tier body fortification techniques, form the first echelon! The others, place defense as your priority. Your main task is to attract the attention of the people inside! Remember this, do not enter recklessly!"

  The person who gave the order was from Perpetual Joy Sect and dressed head-to-toe in leather armor. There was a strange aura swirling around him. He looked incredibly mighty, and like he had a lot of prestige.

  The moment he finished speaking, the crowd's emotions soared. They activated their qi realms to increase their aura.

  Yet when they were about to charge into the chamber, a golden figure came out of the tunnel leading to the chamber. It rushed at them like an arrow let loose from a bow.

  "It's him!"

  "Careful!"

  The people outside the chamber recognized the unique effect of Happy's high-tier body fortification technique. Their hearts trembled, and shocked as well as enraged cries rose among them.

  Just then, they were focused on listening to the orders and demands from the man from Perpetual Joy Sect, and while they were excited, no one expected that Happy would actually dare to take the initiative to appear in a situation where he had to face nearly one hundred high-tier martial artists.

  They were caught off guard. When Happy rushed at the nearest person, a white gust of wind formed by his fists that was mixed with a sharp black light came first, and that person's breathing instantly froze!

  Happy would not waste the rare chance to ambush the group on just one person. What he wanted to do was not fight against one person, but against a group and attain victory through chaos!

  Boom!

  He activated Golden Bell Cocoon fully!

  Whoosh!

  Wind Spirit Spin was activated!

  No one noticed that when Happy had appeared in front of them with a right arm enveloped by a faint black aura. The aura was so dense that it could not be dispelled. With a loud whoosh, it moved like a fierce creature searching for food! It trailed behind the gust and formed a layer of mist particles that could barely be seen. They went sweeping violently at the enemies in front of Happy.

  It was only when the wind blew at their faces that the great fighters from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect noticed that there was an evil aura that could suffocate them mixed in with the powerful punch that tore through the air and could rip apart their faces!

  Chapter 206 - Slaughter

  Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm had a chance to have the ripping effect and inflict the target with deadly poison.

  With the support from Wind Spirit Spin, its single-target damage turned into group damage. The great fighters from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect were caught off guard and instantly faced a disaster.

  Thud, thud, thud!

  In the blink of an eye, they were met with several of Happy's punches.

  The expression of the man in the lead changed drastically.

  Each of Happy's attacks were real. There were no feints, and all of them were extremely quick! His first attack broke down most of his own momentum, and every single time he attacked after, his blows were each heavier than the last. His offense was also so fast that the man simply could not fight back. He could only descend into the awkward situation of being brutally beaten down.

  His high-tier body fortification technique did not manage to protect him for too long either. When Happy delivered his fourth punch, it was destroyed, which meant that it had happened in an instant based on how fast Stormy Shadowless Kick's attack speed was.

  However, the man had good mental fortitude and did not panic.

  Happy's strength was obvious to all. If even the two leaders of the sects could not fight against him, how could they hope to stand a chance?

  "Don't bother about me! Kill him!"

  Once he lost the protection from his body fortification technique, the man suffered great pain when Happy punched him. His consciousness became blurry, but still, he did not forget to shout and remind his brothers to surround Happy.

  However, the scattered screams of pain around him made him apprehensive.

  The man in the lead was shocked, but he soon remembered the name of a high-tier support skill.

  'Wind Spirit Spin!'

  Before he could open his mouth to remind everyone, a powerful suction force suddenly made him lose his momentum when he was about to be sent flying away. Then, an intense pain shot from his throat straight to his brain.

  'What's going on?'

  His vision darkened, and his consciousness went away.

  Happy did not show any hint of excitement once he killed the man in the lead with Dragon Capture after he lost his body fortification technique. He had used a lot of qi to kill one person, and he had even been forced to bring out Dragon Capture. The elites did indeed have extraordinary abilities, or at the very least, they were very sturdy! With that thought in mind, Happy shifted into the depths of the crowd without stopping and chased after the people who had been sent staggering backwards.

  When he killed the first person, the other great fighters from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect finally came to provide reinforcements. All sorts of surging aura came to surround him from all sides. It was obvious that they wanted to kill him without giving him a chance to escape.

  Ji Feng, the middle-aged man in the woolen robe, watched Happy's actions attentively.

  He could be considered lucky, since he could not be considered to be strong in the group, even if he was not that weak.

  He drew his bamboo ruler quietly and looked over with a cold face. "Since you're here, then die," he mumbled to himself in the crowd.

  Ji Feng always had a pretty good grasp of the overall situation. When the hall chiefs and leaders who were supposed to act as their leaders did not have time to take care of everyone, he had taken up the duty of leading the group resolutely.

  He swept his gaze over the area.

  He noticed that Happy's punches tormented the people around him, moving like fish in the water. They were violent and could not be blocked. The people in front of him did not have any room to counterattack, and once they were struck by the black mist particles, faint black aura would envelope their faces. The aura around their bodies would also swiftly become weaker, which was very strange.

  There might have been a lot of people behind Happy, but there were only a few who could attack him.

  However, Happy's equipment and body fortification technique were just too powerful.

  All sorts of attacks landed on the golden light, but it was difficult for them to affect it. Even after a full round of attacks, they only managed to make it slightly dimmer,
and Happy was completely unaffected by their efforts. He continued to give chase without paying attention to anything else around him. By the looks of it, he seemed to be able to keep this up for a while longer.

  When Ji Feng saw that, he scowled. He quickly called a few people from Perpetual Joy Sect who could not find an opening to join the battle. He then pointed at the entrance to the chamber.

  The people called over were originally a little displeased, but once understood his plan, their gazes immediately lit up.

  A few of them calmly left the edge of the battlefield. Then, they dashed to Dead She-wolf's chamber like arrows let loose from a bow.

  Happy naturally did not miss that.

  However, it was very difficult for him to turn around once he entered the center of the group. Besides, if he did that, not only would he lose his advantage in suppressing his enemies, there was even a possibility that he would be surrounded by the elites of the two sects.

  "Medicinal Stone, last for a while!"

  Happy gritted his teeth and quickly ate a Dew Pill to replenish his qi. The next moment, his slightly dim Golden Bell Cocoon shone with a shocking and dazzling golden light once more.

  Clang!

  He charged forward and swung his Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm like a scythe at his enemies who had already been poisoned and whose abilities had been greatly reduced.

  "Urk!"

  The people hit coughed up blood and flew out of the crowd. Muffled groans rose one after another, and judging by the sounds of it, those players would not be able to live for much longer.

  While the area ahead of him was in chaos, Happy used Dragon Capture once again.

  A person to his left had just arrived next to him when Happy's normal-looking left hand appeared in front of him like a ghost. A wild and monstrous suction force came from his palm, shocking the player. He lost control over his body and slid two feet from his original spot, delivering himself straight into Happy's hand.

  "AH!"

  When he yelped in surprise, a huge force turned him, and his vision shifted 180 degrees. The unlucky guy was pushed behind Happy to face the enemies behind him who had been violently and ruthlessly attacking his Golden Bell Cocoon.

  Due to inertia, the people behind Happy simply could not stop their attacks.

  Thud! Thud!

  Blood gushed out. One of the sects' own died under their weapons.

  Everyone as dazed, and the attackers behind Happy froze for a moment.

  Happy's eyes lit up, and he seized the chance to send the corpse in his hand flying. He did so with decisiveness.

  When the attackers saw that the comrade they had killed was sent flying their way, they instinctively stepped aside to avoid him with anger and regret on their faces.

  "Careful!"

  "He's behind us!"

  Their attention had been diverted by the corpse. When they heard the warnings from their companions, a yellow figure had already moved from behind the corpse like a phantom.

  Whoosh!

  Against the trio's expectations, what appeared before their eyes was not the shadow of a fist, but a dazzling dark blue that covered a large area! It looked like the galaxy of the nine heavens had poured down on them. It instantly took their whole field of vision; it was dazzling as well as woefully beautiful.

  Flowering Knights' Song!

  The damage of Stormy Shadowless Kick was not high, and it was difficult for Happy to kill players who were at the same qi realm as him. However, if he used Hundred-battle Saber and Flowering Knights' Song, which had reached Grandmaster Realm, his attacks would not be something the elites could easily receive.

  The trio was caught off guard. They were not able to avoid the dark blue saber glare that came sweeping at them as it spread out exponentially!

  Under the trio's shocked and distressed gazes, the dark blue saber glare moved past their faces at the speed of lightning. Then, they saw blood-red, and their consciousness was instantly destroyed.

  Thud, thud, thud!

  Their bodies fell to the ground.

  "Flowering Knights Slash!"

  With a roar and a spin, Happy rose into the air!

  Shick! Shick!

  The people who came to surround Happy had not even been able to get close to attack Golden Bell Cocoon when Happy's sharp, dark blue saber glare grew brighter and wider to reach right in front of their faces! It was as if a pair of blue Wind and Fire Wheels had risen into the air. With a force that tore through wind and crushed the earth, it swiftly crashed into the crowd!

  They were all in a tiny space where the players pushed and shoved against each other. The people from the two sects simply did not have time to retreat and avoid the attack. While screams of surprise rose and fell one after another, the Wind and Fire Wheels looked as if they had entered a deserted wasteland!

  Wherever they went, blood poured out!

  Chapter 207 - Woolen Robe Swordsman Ji Feng

  Familiar faces staggered out of the Guanlin Temple in Immortal Fox Village. Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy were originally incredibly angry, but gradually, their hearts became cold.

  It was especially so when they heard about what had happened afterwards. Their hearts turned even colder, and the already low temperature around them dropped even further. Their dark faces and the growing killing intent on their faces made the players in the area who derived joy from their misfortune to leave with their heads lowered.

  "So, you're saying that all of you died in Happy's hands. He did all this alone?"

  The twenty or so players said nothing. Their faces were pale, and they felt very weak right then. When they heard their failure spoken aloud, they lowered their heads together, feeling so ashamed that they could not speak.

  Once Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy verified their assumptions, their faces instantly drained of the last of their color. They became so pale they looked abnormal. After s.u.c.k.i.n.g in deep breaths, they did not say anything for a long time.

  In the beginning, their pride was incredibly damaged because they were killed by Tang Sect's domineering hidden weapon—Pear Blossom Storm Needles—after being caught off guard. They were extremely enraged and indignant because of that.

  But then, when nearly one hundred top-tier players had worked to kill Happy, the end result was still unexpected, even though they should have had a high chance of killing him. The powerful fighters from their sects on whom they had placed high hopes and who were the mid-tier pillars of the sects had allowed an enemy to break into their formation alone and kill twenty of them! And those people had done nothing to him! Not only had they not managed to injure him heavily, they did not even manage to break his body fortification technique!

  Solitary Perpetual Joy had always been very prideful and never regarded the normal players as anything, but on that day, Happy crushed his pride twice in a row.

  He sat down on the ground with his c.h.e.s.t heaving violently. He had no way to vent his anger, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

  "Brother Perpetual Joy."

  Situ Luoyu was much more shrewd compared to him. His emotions only changed for a very brief moment before he quickly calmed down. Little could be detected on his face when he said, "We shouldn't be hasty. No matter how strong Happy is, he's only one person at Blessed Realm. We have many people, and his body fortification technique won't be able to last for much longer. Once more time passes, he will pay the price in the end."

  Compared to Solitary Perpetual Joy, he did not mind the sacrifices he had to make. Besides, he had made preparations a long time ago. As long as he could kill Happy and suppress him, even if he had to sacrifice more people, he would not feel any pain in his heart. With Class One Hall as his shield, Fallen Feathers Sect would always have hope to catch their breath and rise to power again.

  But it was different for Solitary Perpetual Joy.

  He closed his eyes, s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, sighed, and said, "Don't forget. Right now,
Happy's the only one fighting outside. There are still three other people beside him."

  He was subtly hinting that if Happy alone was so difficult to deal with, once the four people worked together, the losses the two sects would suffer might multiply several times.

  Situ Luoyu said nothing. He frowned, but right when he was prepared to take over the conversation and comfort Solitary Perpetual Joy, soft gasps of surprise came from beside him once more. The two of them looked up and saw two other people walk out from the temple. They were people from Perpetual Joy Sect.

  When he saw that another two of his comrades had died, Solitary Perpetual Joy's face turned even paler, and he scowled again.

  "It's you two? What happened inside?"

  When the duo approached the two leaders, someone in the crowd recognized them. The two were among the players who had been sent by Ji Feng into Dead She-wolf's chamber. They instantly became interested and asked what had happened to them.

  The two said nothing at first. They exchanged an anguished expression before they told everything that had transpired after they entered Dead She-wolf's chamber.

  They said that after Ji Feng made arrangements for them to rush through, they had wanted to catch the people inside off guard, but before they could enter the chamber, they were held back by a player named All-powerful Medicinal Stone.

  "All-powerful Medicinal Stone?"

  Situ Luoyu frowned slightly as if he had just remembered something.

  The others beside him did not notice his expression, and the speaker just nodded.

  "That's right. The one with really good lightness skills. None of us could catch up to him, and he injured all of us. In the end, we had to work together to force him into the chamber."

  "There are only four in Happy's party. Happy is alone outside, and there is one more working to hold you back. Are you telling me that the other two could withstand Dead She-wolf's attacks alone?"
