At the moment the damage of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms reached Inaction Realm, he delivered attacks with great damage!
Dragon Fights in Wild!
Flying Dragon in the Sky!
Arrogant Dragon's Regrets!
Mighty dragon roars rose nonstop. The six Inaction Realm martial artists could not gain a steady footing before Happy. They occasionally counterattacked, but since the dragon-shaped vortex formed by Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was around, and Happy had Golden Bell Cocoon as well as Nine Yang Divine Skill, the damage he suffered was incredibly light.
In an instant, he defeated two Inaction Realm martial artists, and the other four were injured!
"Just who are you?! How did you manage to learn Beggar's Sect's ultimate technique to this extent?!"
Happy did not answer. He moved like a swimming dragon. Wherever his arm went, the dragon-shaped vortex would charge over, and a large pool of energy would gush out.
Bang!
A Sword Sect disciple's sword shuddered madly. He grunted and staggered away.
Right then, none of the remaining four Inaction Realm martial artists could do anything to Happy. Even if they worked together, Happy would not be at a disadvantage.
"Seventh! Hurry up and leave with Heaven Crystal! Sixth and I will stall him here!"
One of the people managed to tell that if they continued to stall, they would be of no match to the mysterious young man, even if their two companions who went to serve as sentries in the cedar forest returned.
His sword momentum immediately changed, and he switched from offense to defense and holding back someone as his main fighting technique. He intended to buy time so that his people would be able to successfully bring Heaven Crystal back to Sword Sect.
"Dream on."
They were too far into the fight. There was no way Happy could let the people from Sword Sect take Heaven Crystal with them. It was impossible for him to let those from Sword Sect return alive.
"ROAR!"
Happy quickly brought out a medicinal pill from his Universe Bag and stuffed it into his mouth. An even greater qi rose from his body.
He tapped against the ground, and once he fixed his sight on the Sword Sect elite with the sword casket, he rushed over.
"Stop him!"
They had no other choice. Two Sword Sect disciples switched their sword technique, forced to take the initiative to chase after Happy.
And because of it, they acted exactly how Happy wanted them to.
He seized the air, and a dragon-shaped vortex with a diameter of more than six and a half feet descended from the sky with a deafening and mighty roar. It arrived in front of the duo at lightning speed.
Clang!
The Sword Sect elites gritted their teeth. They could only use their strongest moves to fight against it.
Whoosh!
Seventh heard the two grunts behind him and turned his head around to look. He was just in time to see his two companions being sent flying away. The hair on his skin rose, but just when he was prepared to continue running away, he heard the sound of air being torn, and it was swiftly approaching him.
In an instant, Happy stopped in front of him.
A huge hand that sounded like a furious and roaring dragon grew before his eyes.
Boom!
The shock was so great that he was sent flying away with the sword casket.
"Hmph!"
When Happy saw that the Sword Sect disciple did not let go of the sword casket containing Heaven Crystal even when he was heavily injured, he snorted coldly and went after Seventh like a shadow.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Catch!"
When Seventh's consciousness became blurry, he noticed his life force swiftly flowing away. He gritted his teeth and tossed the sword casket to Fifth, who was not too far away.
Fifth reacted incredibly quickly. He caught the sword casket, and without another word, he turned around and fled. He did not care about the other people's survival.
Happy turned his head around swiftly. He stepped over Seventh's body without hesitation and chased after Fifth at an even faster speed. He executed a finger-generated wind in a seemingly unintentional fashion.
Seventh's body fortification had long since shattered, and Happy had already made all his organs shift. He thought that he could preserve his life after he threw away the sword casket, but Happy's stomp injured him even further. Before he landed on the ground, his last breath was sealed in his throat by a fierce finger-generated wind. He glared at Happy and fell heavily on the snowy ground without any life left in him.
There were two people left, and Happy chased them out of the col. He left behind five cold corpses that were already covered in snow.
A chill ran down the two's spines.
The Sword Sect disciple in the lead noticed Happy's aggressive palm-generated wind behind him once he ran out of the col. He panicked and quickly opened his mouth! A sharp whistle pierced through the clouds and sent the snow in the cedar forest to the ground with a plop.
Bang!
"Asking for reinforcements?"
Dragon Capture!
Happy did not dare to be negligent anymore. With a palm strike, he delivered such a damaging blow on the Sword Sect elite that his qi and blood surged in him. He did not wait for the person to be sent flying away either. He just shaped his left hand into a claw, and a powerful suction force allowed him to forcefully seize his enemy's shoulder.
While he breathed, his right hand had already completed the acc.u.mulation of strength needed for the next attack!
It was accompanied by a mighty dragon roar.
With one heavy palm strike, he struck the top of the now stiff Sword Sect disciple's head!
At that moment, Happy had the feeling of someone who stood above others and could control everything when he killed the Sword Sect disciple. The feeling was especially prominent when he saw the rapidly shrinking pupils as well as the red that filled his eyes.
Boom!
The Sword Sect disciple crashed into the snowy ground like a meteor when he was struck by the full powered strike from Happy. He did not take a breath even after a long time had passed.
"Bastard!"
When the Sword Sect disciple known as Sixth saw his companions dying one after another in the stupidly young person's hands, he cast a glance at the sword casket on the ground. For the first time, he had a hint of hesitation and fear rise in him while he tried to seize Heaven Crystal.
"Sixth senior brother, what happened?!"
"Eldest senior brother is…"
Two Sword Sect disciples shot out of the cedar forest, and they saw their eldest senior brother lying dead on the snowy ground at first glance. They also saw their sixth senior brother with a look of hesitation and fear on his face.
The two young Sword Sect disciples s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath. They could not understand how this sort of thing could have happened after they just left for a short while.
"Heaven Crystal is in that box. Whoever snatches it, dies!" Happy walked toward Heaven Crystal expressionlessly and spoke words that made the young Sword Sect disciples fly off in rage.
"Bull crap!"
"Don't! Careful!"
When the two young Sword Sect disciples attacked because they were provoked, Sixth's warning arrived too late.
Chapter 673 - Copied Method…
If the eldest senior brother of Sword Sect could be said to have reached the middle stage of Inaction Realm, then the two young Sword Sect disciples in front of Happy had just reached Inaction Realm. And now, they faced him, whose strength had increased by 20% and whose Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had reached its peak in terms of momentum.
"ROAR!"
One palm strike!
With just one palm strike, the duo noticed that the situation was off. Their sword force was instantly shattered. The power in Happy's palm was as great as a mountain pushing down on them, and it caused them to have breathing difficulties.
Bang! Bang!
The two shuddered and lost their power to fight while airborne.
Before the duo could do anything else, Happy's expression became stern. His hands moved incredibly quickly as they formed the shape of claws—Double Dragon Capture!
The powerful force pulled the duo so fiercely that they froze.
Shock appeared on their faces.
They had just exchanged blows, and it allowed them to sense the disparity of strength between them.
But unfortunately for them, Happy did not want to give them any chances.
Before his feet landed on the ground, he clenched his fists loosely in the air, performed a straight left, and a right hook.
The young Sword Sect disciples quickly noticed that a presence that caused their souls to shiver surged out of Happy's body!
"Run!"
Their faces turned pale.
Right when they recovered from their injuries and their feet landed on the ground, they circulated their qi. Both people then tapped against the ground and fled without hesitation.
A pity for them, at the moment Happy and the two Sword Sect disciples landed on the ground, he completed the uppercut and hammerfist.
"ROAR!"
A large golden dragon shot out from Happy's palm-generated wind.
Arrogant Dragon's Regrets!
The two Sword Sect disciples only felt a huge wave that covered the entire area rush toward them. Their bodies shuddered, and the power shot through their bodies.
Arrogant Dragon's Regrets was the strongest profound skill in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and it was a skill that used up two hundred qi points, but was something even the evil cult grand elder was not able to survive unschathed. And if the grand elder could not handle it, there was no need to speak about two Sword Sect disciples who had already been hit by Happy's palms and were injured.
Usually, Happy would not use this technique often, but he had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill. His qi had reached a high of 620 points, and he no longer had such a hard time executing his techniques as he did in the past.
To quickly reach his goal of killing the people, Happy did not hold back on executing his ultimate techniques.
He watched as the duo froze in their positions for a few seconds before their life completely drained away and they fell to the ground. Then, Happy breathed a sigh of relief.
He redirected his gaze at the sword casket lying quietly behind him.
Whoosh!
Sixth had helplessly watched as his two companions were killed by the young and mysterious elite. He finally got rid of his thoughts of snatching Heaven Crystal and instead tapped against the ground to flee desperately.
In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of feet away!
"You can't run!"
Happy scowled. The snow beneath his feet let out a crunching sound, and he shot forward.
At the moment he chased after Sixth, he shaped his hand into the form of a claw.
Dragon Capture!
The sword casket lying on the snowy ground looked as if it was s.u.c.k.e.d by a magnet. With a thud, it landed in Happy's grasp.
Happy moved like lightning. He brought with him wind and snow from the cedar forest and gradually closed the distance between him and the Sword Sect disciple!
When Sixth saw that Happy did not want to let him go even after he obtained Heaven Crystal, a resolute look of malice appeared in his eyes. "Alright! Since you're determined not to let me live, I'll die together with you!"
He switched directions and ran toward Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Happy said nothing.
He quickly realized why Sword Sect's Sixth had changed his path.
"I'd like to see how you'll kill me with a sword casket in hand."
Sword Sect's Sixth was determined to flee. He did not care about the use of his qi and just madly circulated it to increase his speed.
Even though the distance between the duo kept shortening, Sixth used the cedar forest around him to hold Happy back from advancing.
His sword force moved like blades.
Whoosh!
A large number of trees that had a lot of annual growth rings were cut down by Sixth. They fell down slowly, and with a whoosh, they caused snow to fly all over in the air.
Sixth passed by them at the perfect moment, and the large cedars blocked Happy's path.
This happened a few times, and Happy was incredibly frustrated by it, but he could do nothing about it, hence, the distance between them widened!
Fortunately, the cedar forest was not large.
Six and a half feet, three feet…
The distance between them just kept becoming shorter, and it made Sixth's expression become dark and savage.
"Die!"
He swung his sword without even turning his head around. A sharp sword force came sweeping at Happy horizontally.
With Petite Dragon around, it was very difficult for this sort of attack to be of any threat to Happy, and it could not stop him from his goal of closing the distance between them.
However, Heaven Shaker Fortress gradually showed up on the snow white horizon and slowly became clearer.
"Haha!" Sword Sect's Sixth laughed madly. "Just continue chasing me! Once we enter Heaven Shaker Fortress, I'd like to see whether you can still keep Heaven Crystal!"
Once he finished speaking, he let out a long whistle. His voice quickly spread into the distance.
Happy's expression turned even darker.
"You're just asking for death!"
But what the Sword Sect elite said was true.
As they drew close to Heaven Shaker Fortress, it grew harder for him to kill Sixth, and since he only had one hand, he could not bring out the full power of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Even Arrogant Dragon's Regrets, which had the greatest damage, required two hands to execute it. Hence, even when Happy got close, Sixth might be able to survive until Heaven Shaker Fortress elites came over.
If Happy continued chasing, it would be dangerous.
But he had already fought against Sixth for a long time, and Sixth had an understanding toward his skills. He also knew Happy's face. If he lost Heaven Crystal and went back to tell the people in Sword Sect, the Sword Sect Master would definitely search for him. There was no way he would help Happy keep it a secret.
At that time, all the people in the world of martial arts might choose to hunt him down.
That was why, no matter what, he had to kill Sixth! He could not let a single person from that group of Sword Sect disciples live!
A great wave of killing intent shone in Happy's eyes.
Suddenly, he thought of one move.
It was a move that did not belong to him, but when he was in Sword Crafting Hall, he saw and remembered the Sword Sect Master's fight against the evil aura from Heaven Crystal. Nine Yang Divine Crystal had clearly recorded every minor detail of the Sword Sect Master's qi circulation at that time.
That mysterious qi circulation was much stronger, but it was also rather dangerous.
Happy recalled it quietly while he chased after Sixth. He began to silently circulate his qi based on what he sensed and understood at that time in Sword Crafting Hall.
His qi surged through the eight extraordinary meridians. He gathered and compressed all his sword qi in one spot before he forced them into another meridian system.
When he was halfway through circulating it, an abnormal shade of red showed up on his face.
He pushed his index finger and middle finger together!
At the instant sharp pain and the feeling of weakness that a person would sense when all their qi was drained from their body filled Happy, he looked at Sixth's back and jabbed at the air laboriously.
Shick!
A blinding white light flashed.
Chapter 674 - Three Dragons Sword Qi
[Three Dragons Sword Qi:
[It is a sword qi technique copied from the Sword Sect Master through Nine Yang Divine Skill. It only has half of
its original might. Uses 500 qi points to deal 30,000 damage. It has the effect of breaking defenses.]
The depletion of five hundred qi points was two and a half times more than that of Arrogant Dragon's Regrets. Even though its damage was not high, it broke defenses and could instantly kill an Inaction Realm martial artist.
Sixth suddenly sensed a familiar qi flow and killing intent behind him. He was delighted and thought that his sect master had appeared, but when he turned his head around, the familiar sword finger swiftly expanded before his eyes. His gaze was fixed on it, practically frozen. His face turned pale and filled with confusion. He could only watch as the sword qi seeped into his body.
Thud!
Some time ago, Happy had pierced the incredibly sturdy wall that had a very high resistance to heat in Sword Crafting Hall, so piercing a human body was no problem for him.
A bloody hole suddenly appeared between Sixth's eyebrows. He did not even have time to scream in pain. His life force was instantly cut off. He stood straight in the snow and wind, and his eyes were filled with bafflement.
Whoosh!
Once Happy executed Three Dragons Sword Qi, he felt a powerful wave of exhaustion envelope him, making him feel weak. He said nothing and sat down to meditate. He also took a medicinal pill that would recover his stamina while he circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill at full strength in order to restore his energy and essence.
'As expected of an ultimate technique by a Myth Realm martial artist. Not only does Three Dragons Sword Qi require a lot of qi, but it also uses up a lot of stamina and mental energy. The burden on the body is great. Once I use it, my body's functions are instantly decreased by 80%. I will not be able to protect myself within a short period of time. Next time, I won't use it so readily.'
Happy frowned and became wary.
However, he did manage to kill nine Inaction Realm martial artists in one breath and got a Class S battle danger assessment. His qi increased by three out of the blue, and he was one step closer to reaching 640 qi points, which was the requirement to reach Moksha Realm.
