None of them had anything to say about it.
'This girl! Don't scare us like that!'
"Tower Master Shadow, what do you think?" Happy looked at Phantasmal Shadow with an indifferent expression. For the first time ever, perplexity and hesitation appeared in her eyes. "I'm going to save Song Yuanqiao, so why don't we split up and gather here later?"
"Okay."
No one knew what Phantasmal Shadow was thinking about, but she nodded and watched as Happy and his party walked into the second tunnel on the left. She did not move even after a long while.
The people from Wind Assault Tower knew that Wind Chimes would not have told any lies to frighten them.
'Where should we go?'
Phantasmal Shadow thought about it for a long time before she gritted her teeth and brought her party to the second tunnel on the right!
*****
It was quite a surprise…
Happy remembered that in his previous life, four out of the five tunnels led to certain death, and the people said that the chances of survival in those tunnels were slim! They were commonly known as Sky Demon Illusion!
But due to Song Yuanqiao's quest, an extra path of survival seemed to have appeared.
"There's a palace in the heart of the mountain? And it's even so luxurious? I guess that the materials have been dropped from above. Tsk tsk, it's such a huge project… They must have used a lot of money."
All-powerful Medicinal Stone sighed nonstop. "I wonder which important person from the evil cult is inside."
When the group heard All-powerful Medicinal Stone's sentence, the expressions of Silver Wolf and the others became solemn, and even Happy snapped out of his daze. His thoughts returned to the present from his previous life.
Since a change had occurred among the tunnels, the situation inside instantly became unclear.
Happy did not dare to be inattentive and quickly observed the area.
Fortunately, the layout was not very complicated, and he could understand it with just one glance.
"Wind Chimes, check and see whether Song Yuanqiao is in the palace or the houses…" Little North requested softly.
But Wind Chimes just rolled her eyes at him in a resigned fashion.
"Do you think I'm Doraemon or something? Since we're this close, you can only rely on yourself to find him. Look, why don't I use my zither to buy time while you go look for Song Yuanqiao?" Wind Chimes took the initiative to make a request after giving it some thought.
"No," Happy rejected her request resolutely. "If someone powerful comes out, you'll be in a very dangerous situation. Since we're already in Sky Demon Secret Cave, we'll cause a ruckus before we leave no matter where we go."
"True. Since we don't know the situation inside, we might as well alarm them and make them reveal their strength themselves." Silver Wolf had a praising look on his face.
Clang! Clang, clang!
When the urgent, loud, and murderous sounds rose, the evil cult disciples around the palace and training grounds were instantly alerted! They looked toward the fake mountains.
"Enemy attack!"
"Invasion! Someone hurry up and notify the great elder!"
The next moment, a loud voice rose from the palace, and soon, a momentum that surged to the air exploded forth. It was accompanied by a shout that kept on echoing in the air. The momentum went pressing toward the fake mountain with the force of an avalanche.
"Don't need to! Who are you, and what business do you have in Sky Demon Sect!"
"Hmph!" Happy stood up proudly. He stared at the old man in brocade robes, who shot out from the palace, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
When he spoke, he sounded bold and righteous, like he wanted to denounce them. "Sky Demon Sect, you do hide yourselves well. You actually dug inside this cave that sees no light? But since you decided to hide yourselves, don't come out to cause trouble!"
He stopped talking for a moment, and his voice became lower. "Hand Song Yuanqiao over, or else, we will flatten Sky Demon Sect!"
"Oh…" The old man in brocade robes drawled while he landed sixty-five feet away from Happy. A solemn expression appeared on his face.
"So you came for Song Yuanqiao. Brat, you're pretty good. I didn't expect you to chase us all the way to Sky Demon Sect…"
When he said that, his expression changed to one of relief, and his voice became cold. "But since you're in Sky Demon Sect now, don't think about leaving alive!"
The moment he finished speaking, he pounced on the fake mountains like a large mountain himself. He looked incredibly proud and arrogant.
"Ding!
"Search for Song Yuanqiao's whereabouts, kill Sky Demon Sect's elder, and protect Song Yuanqiao while taking him out of Sky Demon Sect! Then return to Wudang Sect!
"If you succeed, you will gain the favor of Wudang Sect and Ming Cult!
"If you fail, Wudang Sect and Ming Cult will be greatly disappointed in you, and their affection for you will be reduced!"
A voice that sounded like a dull clap of lightning went toward the evil cult elder. "You're just one evil cult elder, but you sound really arrogant!"
Happy charged forward ahead of the others.
"Are all youngsters in the world of martial artists nowadays so arrogant?"
The evil cult great elder laughed in anger, and two more powerful presences rose from the palace behind him.
The expression of Silver Wolf and the others changed instantly!
Chapter 611 - Fierce Battle
Another two Inaction Realm martial artists charged out of the palace, and the situation instantly turned complicated and dangerous!
The group had to face three Inaction Realm evil cult elders and a group of evil cult disciples!
One of the elders was clearly an Inaction Realm and his strength was rather unfathomable. He was not to be underestimated, and Happy attacked and blocked him while quickly giving orders.
"Wind Chimes, Big Brother Medicinal Stone, take care of the evil cult disciples! Silver Wolf, Momo, you two will have to take on one evil cult elder each! Little North, assist them from the side! Do your best to kill them!"
"Got it!"
Once the orders were given, the group quickly calmed down and went to attend to their duties in an orderly fashion.
Clanging and excited zither notes worked like sharp scissors as they danced fearlessly in the air. They intersected with each other to form endless blade rivers, and their killing intent surged! They could not be blocked!
The evil cult disciples and children who came charging at them crashed into the invisible blade rivers in the air and shuddered madly before terrifying, bloody gashes appeared on their bodies. They were followed by screams of pain that had no end.
"AH!"
"AH!"
Wind Chimes alone could control all of the evil cult disciples nearby. The domineering nature of the successor of Six-fingered Demonic Zither was displayed fully at that moment.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone was happy that he could have a relaxing time. He just attacked the enemies that Wind Chimes had missed while paying attention to Happy, Silver Wolf, and Momo.
She had gained experience of fighting against Inaction Realm martial artists at Hero's Mountain Villa, so it was not the first time she faced someone above her realm. She knew how to use her advantage in speed and long range attacks with Throw Spirit Sphere against the evil cult elder. Due to it, she was on equal grounds against her opponent.
Silver Wolf also had an advantage against Inaction Realm elites. His rich experience in close-quarters combat as well as his equipment allowed him to stand tall. He attacked repeatedly with Red Flame Palm and quietly depleted his enemy's qi.
Little North stood quietly outside the battlefield, but he was watching the fights with keen eyes. He took note of the condition of the two evil cult elders and searched for a chance to attack them.
At that moment, Happy was the one who was in the most dangerous situation.
The streng
th of the evil cult great elder was extraordinary!
He might be old, but his abilities had been perfected some time ago. The palm strikes he delivered with ease came at Happy with the momentum of lightning.
Happy only needed to exchange a few blows for his blood to start surging. The impact was so great that his arms felt numb, and if it were not for the fact that he had Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, the organs might have already shifted in his body.
There were a lot of powerful people in the evil cult!
"Hmph!"
The evil cult great elder had naturally noticed Happy's situation. Even though he was surprised that the young man would actually dare to fight head-on against him and would not find himself at a great disadvantage, he still regarded him with disdain and laughed coldly without stopping.
"Boy, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
"Again!"
When Happy heard the evil cult elder's arrogant words, he felt indignant. He swallowed two Dew Pills and attacked again with Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Boom!
The evil cult great elder was very knowledgeable. He had long since recognized that Happy used the ultimate technique only available to the sect masters of Beggar's Sect, and his gaze had darkened due to that. He jumped high into the air.
He said nothing though and just s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath while raising his head. A wild energy swiftly grew within him by leaps and bounds, and his palms turned so red that they looked as if they were about to start dripping blood.
The evil cult great elder pushed his palms against Happy!
The air instantly froze. When the evil cult great elder pushed down with his palm-generated wind, Happy felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him!
With an unprecedented might, it descended on Happy's c.h.e.s.t at the speed of lightning. By the looks of it, the evil cult great elder wanted to crush Happy in one go and bring himself a peace of mind.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
The evil cult great elder was about to strike Happy's c.h.e.s.t, but he touched a strangely soft ball of air. Happy's body suddenly moved to the side at an astonishing speed, and then, a fierce leg-generated wind came cracking at the great elder's ears!
Clang!
A faint layer of black light appeared around the evil cult great elder's body. It was like a faint air membrane, andi it managed to block the kick somewhat. However, the remaining force was not weak. It caught the evil cult great elder off guard, and he fell to the ground from the sky.
"Again!"
There was no way Happy would give up on such a good opportunity.
"You're presumptuous, brat!" the evil cult great elder shouted in anger.
Even though he was curious how Happy would have such an ingenious body movement technique, he was not injured. When he saw that Happy actually had the intention to come at him, he could not help but feel agitated.
Once he landed on the ground, he stomped , and two pits instantly formed beneath his feet. Then, he bent his knees slightly and immediately straightened them!
But this attack was clearly inferior to his previous attack.
By the looks of it, he had used some sort of secret technique before and lost some of his qi, which meant he could not repeat the attack often.
Happy figured that out with just one glance.
Petite Dragon!
He moved like a fish in water and avoided the evil cult great elder's attack by a hair's breadth. Then, without hesitation, he used Dragon Capture to seize the evil cult great elder's arm.
The great elder felt his body become numb.
The momentary pause gave Happy a chance!
Bang! Bang!
He spread his arms and delivered two palm strikes at the great elder's c.h.e.s.t and elbow.
Even though he could not destroy the evil cult great elder's body fortification with his previous attacks, the acc.u.mulation effect and the repeated attacks managed to reach the momentum at which Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm were nearly at Inaction Realm.
However, the evil cult great elder was not easy to deal with…
He was struck twice, but while his body tilted backward, he kicked Happy's hand. His attack had the ferocity of a venomous snake!
Happy, however, had anticipated the great elder's reaction. He delivered two palm strikes and quickly used the now powerful dragon-shaped vortex to block the great elder's kick.
Boom!
A firm and loud bang rose, and a powerful qi flow caused the dust in the area to rise.
The great elder was incredibly shocked and indignant by how Happy was able to block his attack, which he had delivered by reacting quickly to the situation. In the blink of an eye, the two men had already exchanged more than ten blows.
During that time, Happy had laboriously completed the acc.u.mulation of momentum of his attacks while it had increased and decreased!
"ROAR!"
A wild and angry roar rose, and a large black dragon shot through the air!
It raised the stones and dirt from the fake mountains nearby in an incredibly chaotic mix. They swam in the air for a moment, then a dragon's roar came again, and the huge creature went to devour the evil cult great elder.
"Break!"
The evil cult elder did not panic. Even while his body fortification was destroyed, he scooped at the air with one hand, and a drill-shaped flow of air quickly rammed against the black dragon vortex.
Boom!
For the first time, Flying Dragon in the Sky could not achieve its purpose. Before its full might could explode, it was forcefully destroyed.
But Happy had expected that the great elder would not be so easy to deal with.
He retreated to the area outside the remaining momentum and quickly took a Small Reversion Pill to restore the qi he had used by executing his attacks repeatedly. At the same time, an even more astonishing momentum surged out of his body.
While the great elder looked at him in shock, a four-clawed golden dragon quickly took shape in the air behind Happy. Its eyes burned fiercely, and it came down from the sky with a mighty aura. Then, with an awe-inspiring presence, it locked its sight on the great elder…
For the first time, the great elder sensed an invisible threat from the young man in front of him.
Chapter 612 - Sky Breaker Sound
What Happy wanted was the effect of his attacks becoming more aggressive the longer he fought!
He seized the chance the great elder tried to catch his breath and relied on Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as a Small Reversion Pill to quickly restore his body to the peak of its condition, and his power instantly erupted!
"ROAR!"
The four-clawed golden dragon shot at that moment.
The great elder's white hair and beard flew madly backward, like grass swaying back from a violent gust of wind.
His eyes went wide, but he only had the time to bring his arms back to defend himself.
Bang!
A loud bang rose, and the evil cult great elder flew back because of the golden dragon ramming into him. He crashed violently into the palace behind him, and created a huge hole in it. When he stood up with his face covered in dirt, he looked incredibly pathetic.
At that moment, a number of changes had already happened in the battlefield.
As Happy engaged in an intense, hair-rising battle, his companions sensed that the great elder was not easy to deal with, and they understood that they had to get rid of their own opponents quickly.
Little North finally attacked.
His three zombies struck together.
The evil cult elders did not notice them, and their lower bodies were by the three zombie puppets who did so disregarding their own safety.
"Get lost!"
The elders of Sky Demon Secret Cave were slightly better than the evil cult elders outside and did not panic. With an angry roar, their qi surged, and the three zombie puppets sensed that the feet they captured suddenly became much smoother, and then, they fel
t a shock against their c.h.e.s.t. They were all sent flying away without being able to injure the elders.
However, their attack created a chance for Silver Wolf.
The moment the zombie puppets were sent flying, he moved next to one of the evil cult elders at the speed of lightning and pushed his palm against the man's c.h.e.s.t.
Bang!
The evil cult elder had already exchanged multiple blows with Silver Wolf and used up a lot of his qi. So at that moment, when he was attacked by a full-powered attack, he staggered backward, and his qi dropped straight to Moksha Realm. His body fortification also started swaying.
The elder was shocked and terrified.
"How presumptuous!"
He forced Silver Wolf back with a palm strike before he removed himself from the battle. A green Small Reversion Pill appeared in his hand.
"What the heck?! They take pills?!"
Little North had very sharp eyes. When the evil cult elder retreated to take medicine, he rushed forward recklessly and swung his right arm. A black palm-generated wind that could make a person feel suffocated and nauseous instantly turned into a claw that went for the elder's left side.
Bone-corroding Palm!
Slap!
"Kill him while he's injured!"
Little North's palm strike destroyed the evil cult elder's swaying body fortification, and a few bloody gashes were left behind on the elder's body.
Bone-corroding Palm could instantly bring out its amazing poisonous effects with a fourth-echelon Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm.
The evil cult elder's face was instantly shrouded by dark miasma. He staggered, and his wound instantly turned black. His face turned pale, and his momentum fell.
When Silver Wolf saw that, his eyes lit up as he attacked fearlessly while laughing, and even Wind Chimes came over to kick the elder who was already down. Her zither sounds switched their target, and the piercing, murderous notes were like thunder clapping.
