  *****

  "How arrogant!

  "Have someone block Silver Wolf." When Dragon Sect's vice sect master caught up to the battlefield, he noticed that Silver Wolf and Little North were causing trouble at the back of their army. His expression turned cold, and he gave his order without hesitation.

  "Understood!"

  More than ten Dragon Sect elites surrounded them!

  *****

  "Wind Assault Tower? Phantasmal Shadow?!"

  When Clear Music reached the edge of the battlefield, she had already received the news from the scouts.

  When she learned that the army of two thousand was personally led to the area outside Yangzhou City by Phantasmal Shadow, her expression was so dark that it was filled with killing intent. "Phantasmal Shadow, what a woman. I knew that she has always had her eyes set on the coastal area. This time, she's prepared to bet all her ch.i.p.s on Happy! Ha! What a good plan she has!

  "Hmph! Even if Towering Palace is destroyed today, we will definitely kill all two thousand of them!"

  Then, Clear Music ordered with killing intent laced in her voice. "Surround them on both flanks, and do it slowly! Don't let even a single one of them live!"

  Her gaze was cold as she stared ahead. Clear Music's heart had already been completely occupied by the intent to kill, and she could no longer accommodate any other thought.

  *****

  At Towering Palace's headquarters in Yangzhou were Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing. Both of them returned to the meeting hall at the headquarters and prepared defensive measures with great urgency. At the same time, they also placed close attention to the war situation outside Yangzhou City.

  When they heard about how those two hundred soldiers suddenly appeared outside the city out of nowhere, both of them hurried before Musical Note.

  "Palace master, the south of the coastal area has fallen, and now Wind Assault Tower popped up. There's nothing else to say about it. They're definitely here in preparation to work with Mu Clan to fight against Towering Palace! Palace Master Music, stop trying to salvage the situation, it might be difficult for Towering Palace to continue on."

  Shangguan Lian's tone was grave. He was unlike Vast Heaven and Grim Green, who were recruited later and could only act according to Clear Music's will. He was part of the founding members of Towering Palace who had stayed the longest, and he could state his own opinion.

  "That's right. We can't rely on those people from Dragon Sect at all. They can't even kill Silver Wolf, much less people like One Emperor and Happy. Right now, Happy is about to arrive. If we don't act sooner, it'll be too late for everything!"

  Hai Dongqing's distressed voice rang through the rather empty meeting hall in the headquarters.

  Chapter 764 - Arrived!

  Yangzhou City bustled with activity once more. Countless players hurried outside the city, and on their way, people could be heard talking loudly.

  "They're fighting outside the city now?"

  "No way. Didn't Silver Wolf break out? Was he caught?!"

  Someone in the crowd shouted in reply, "No! I heard that someone came to receive them! More than one thousand of them came back to fight! And they're fighting against those Towering Palace people outside the city! Whew, we've got a show to watch again… By the looks of it, Mu Clan is determined to fight to the end against Towering Palace!"

  "They're fighting again?! Then we'll have to hurry up and go watch it!"

  "Towering Palace really offended someone they shouldn't…"

  "Heh, it'll be best if both sides are crippled from this. Then, it'll be our time to shine!"

  "Stop yapping and move!"

  Many factions of power in the city ran out of the city.

  They originally thought that once Silver Wolf and the others successfully broke out of the city, not only will it deliver a huge blow to Towering Palace's pride, it will also be a huge blow to Towering Palace's strength. Mu Clan cannot be considered to have lost this battle. In fact, the one who lost was Towering Palace. Right now, Mu Clan's forces should be charging out of Yangzhou and will be waiting for the right time for revenge.

  But what they did not expect was that soon after they left the restaurants, the people from the two top-class sects had started fighting again outside the city.

  This was seriously, insanely violent!

  Both sides had fought to the point they were overwhelmed with rage. This time, it might be difficult for them to end things cordially.

  *****

  When they arrived outside the city, they found that the entire plains was engaged in chaotic warfare. There were corpses everywhere, along with clashing weapons. None of the bystanders dared get close at all.

  Even when they were in the distance, they could see countless saber glares and sword forces intersecting with each other!

  More people arrived outside the battlefield to watch!

  *****

  "Wind Assault Tower!"

  When Blood Robes found Clear Music outside the crowd, he was just in time to hear her spit out these three words, and he was shocked. "Palace Master Music, are the ones fighting against you those from Wind Assault Tower?"

  "They're just a small sect, and they dare swing their weapons against us… Vice Hall Master Blood, I seem to recall that Wind Assault Tower is one of the sects in Beijing."

  When she said this, Clear Music's tone suddenly changed. "Right now, we're allies, and Wind Assault Tower has also become allies with Mu Clan. What say you…?"

  "Palace Master Music, don't worry. In truth, we've wanted to get rid of this thorn in our flesh since a long time ago, but that Phantasmal Shadow has some tricks up her sleeves, and she has taken the initiative to provoke our hall master a few times, causing us to have no legitimate reason for fighting against Wind Assault Tower. This time, I'll send a messenger pigeon over and ask my hall members to make preparations," Blood Robes answered confidently.

  They might need a lot of preparations against Mu Clan, but it was an easy for Class One Hall to deal with one measly Wind Assault Tower.

  Flap flap flap!

  A few minutes passed.

  Blood Robes took out the letter. When he opened it, he instantly frowned. "This woman… She's indeed a little troublesome…"

  "What's wrong?" Clear Music could tell that something was off. "Are things not going smoothly?"

  She knew Class One Hall's strength well, and if Blood Robes said that someone was troublesome, it might mean that whatever he wanted to do was not going well.

  Blood Robes heaved a long sigh and tore the letter before he stared into the distance and said, "Before Wind Assault Tower attacked, they have already shifted their headquarters. They seem to have built a new branch recently, and they deliberately chose a place where there are no branches from our hall around. Besides, there are only a few low-ranking members who are in charge of guarding their former headquarters. Looks like before she attacked, she has already made ample preparations."

  Clear Music was stunned silent, and she gave up as well.

  As of current, it was impossible for her to ask Class One Hall to send a large group of people to deal with Wind Assault Tower. Even if they did manage to locate them, the war over this side might have already ended.

  Right now, it was not appropriate for them to ruin their plans to deal with Mu Clan for someone inconsequential.

  "Our current situation is becoming increasingly disadvantageous for us. Once Wind Assault Tower appeared, Mu Clan has more than two thousand elites added to their ranks out of the blue. If we can't destroy them within a short period of time, once Happy arrives, it'll be difficult for us to stop Mu Clan in their tracks."

  This was something he knew very well as well.

  But reality was indeed vastly different from what he planned.

  He did not expect that Happy will still remain alive even after he was blasted by a Heavenly Lighting and Fire, and he did not expect that after they used the second Heavenly Lightning and Fire, Silver Wolf stil
l managed to lead his people out of Yangzhou. He also did not expect that One Emperor and Wind Assault Tower will appear.

  "Right now, we can only rely on those people from Dragon Sect." Blood Robes spread his arms in resignation."They're our last hope now. As long as we can get rid of the people from Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower before Happy arrives, we will still have a chance to turn the tides. We'll have the people from Dragon Sect attack Happy, and the rest will be holding him back."

  Clear Music said nothing. Her face was solemn, but she also knew that this was the only thing they can do for now.

  *****

  The Dragon Sect elites were not very successful in their attacks in this chaotic battle.

  Even though Wind Assault Tower did not have an advantage in numbers, once they were united, it was very difficult for the Dragon Sect elites to succeed in their ambush. After all, they had pretty good equipment, and they were also quite strong.

  Meanwhile, there were already very few Towering Palace elites remaining, and those who can work together with Dragon Sect were few and far in between.

  Time passed.

  The government-made road became even more chaotic.

  When the people from Towering Palace finally surrounded Wind Assault Tower from the back and completely encircled them, their advantage in numbers became greater, and they finally began suppressing their enemies.

  The black mass of people pushed forward from the flanks and the back!

  The plains were filled with the cries for murder from the Towering Palace members!

  The Wind Assault Tower members were mostly caught in a situation where they had to fight against a large number of people, and they were caught up in an absolutely defensive and passive situation.

  Some people began to release arrows and hidden weapons from the back.

  While the sounds of air being sliced tore through ceaselessly, a continuous string of Wind Assault Tower members fell to the ground dead.

  Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo, and the others saw this. They felt anxious and could not stop staring into the distance.

  "Our people won't be able to last. Why isn't Happy here yet?" Wu Kuo was anxious.

  Phantasmal Shadow was also blocking arrows by flinging her whip while she frowned. "With his speed, he should have already joined the battle. Did something happen to him on his way here?"

  The time for Happy to show up was later than what she expected.

  "This is bad! If this continues, all our members will die! At that time, even if he comes, it'll be useless."

  The Wind Assault Tower members gradually forced to gather together. While they did their best to fight back, they formed a circle and stalled for time.

  When Clear Music saw this scene from the distance, she finally released a long breath of relief.

  Once they had successfully encircled Wind Assault Tower and Mu Clan, the situation was basically set in stone, and the battle will immediately come to an end.

  "Even if Happy arrives now, with his power alone, it's impossible for him to change the situation unless he mobilizes his forces from the south—"

  Before she finished speaking, a familiar voice with a mocking tone traveled into her ears.

  "Is it?"

  Dozens of swift sword rays of light suddenly shot forth from the back of the group! The group of Towering Palace elites who protected Clear Music had not even managed to activate their body fortifications and were all instantly killed. They fell before Clear Music, who turned her head around and was struck with terror.

  Chapter 765 - Instant Kill

  "Happy!"

  The Towering Palace members reacted very quickly. When the guards fell, nearly one hundred people nearby surged forward and surrounded Clear Music so tightly that not a single drop of water could pass. Clear Music's expression was filled with fear as she withdrew continuously.

  "Clear Music, Blood Robes, we meet again."

  Happy acted as if he did not see the Towering Palace members. He had already gotten rid of a group of elites, and these normal Life and Death Realm Towering Palace members cannot hope to block his Universe Lightning Destruction's Style, which had damage that surpassed 35,000 points.

  Right now, each of his sword slashes held power and speed that was between One Emperor's first slash and second slash.

  Even if Grim Green and Vast Heaven came over, he can end them with just a few slashes.

  He slowly walked forward while the crowd around him moved back and headed leisurely toward a group of Towering Palace members who had their weapons drawn and looked very tense.

  *****

  "It's really Happy!"

  "How did he come here?"

  The crowd behind them stared at Happy's back with sparkling eyes. In fact, someone in the crowd had already quietly switched on their recording function and focused their camera at Happy, who was calmly walking to the people from Towering Palace alone. They were worried that they will miss even a single shot.

  *****

  Once Towering Palace recognized Happy, they quickly cast a glance at the corpses of their palace's elders, gulped laboriously, protected Clear Music, and retreated nonstop.

  Happy was too famous!

  He stood as equals with One Emperor, and once he reached Moksha Realm, he had even surpassed One Emperor slightly and secured his throne as the strongest in the Chinese server.

  Right now, when they faced someone so powerful, many people naturally thought about how Happy had managed to reach this stage, along with all the corpses he stepped under his feet to reach his current state.

  In the past, he killed Zhou Yu with only two moves, shocking countless elites from Class One Hall so much that they retreated hundreds of miles away. Then, he had even managed to carve a bloody path forward alone from Beijing.

  He was a man who could build a road of death alone!

  *****

  "Happy!" Blood Robes' gaze was complicated. Even though he was protected in the crowd, he did not want to see Clear Music being assassinated by Happy just like that, and he also did not want to see Towering Palace walk to their own destruction just like that. He clenched his teeth and spread his arms leisurely before he spread his fingers forcefully to seize the two Towering Palace members beside him, and he shouted, "Let me use your qi."

  "AH!!"

  Those two Towering Palace members could not help but scream in shock. Their bodies began trembling madly, as if they were electrocuted. Their qi realms began to plummet as their qi flowed out of their bodies.

  As for Blood Robes, his qi instantly rose to Moksha Realm!

  The people beside were shocked as well, but Blood Robes did not stop!

  He acted quickly and cast away the two Towering Palace members whose qi were drained before he swiftly grabbed another two Towering Palace members who did not dare fight back. He s.u.c.k.e.d their qi nonstop, and his qi continued rising. The muscles on his arms also bulged up very fast, and the transformation he went through was incredibly terrifying.

  "Let him take your qi!" Clear Music's firm voice came from the back.

  Happy watched all this indifferently, and he did not stop him.

  When Blood Robes' qi realm stabilized at Inaction Realm, Blood Robes opened his eyes, and two frightening flashes of light shone in his eyes. He walked through the path the crowd parted for him with great confidence before he arrived thirty-two feet away from Happy.

  "I won't let you touch her!"

  Right when he finished speaking, the people's clothes started fluttering, even though there was no wind around the air. Even when he spoke, he gave off an incredible sense of pressure on those who heard him.

  Happy said nothing. He just stared indifferently at Blood Robes, whose qi had now surpassed his, and his expression did not change. However, the gaze in his eyes had become much colder.

  "Blood Robes," he said those two words calmly, but he did not cause Blood Robes to become wary of him.

  Because once Blood Robes increased his qi realm, the qi flowing
in his body gave him endless strength.

  His abilities had increased by a whooping 20%, and it was as if he had eaten an Origin Leopard Pill!

  "It has been a long time since we met, and you haven't improved at all. Didn't you realize that your Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill has a fatal weakness?"

  Blood Robes' expression changed!

  He was too fast, so fast that Blood Robes only had time to activate his body fortification, but still could not completely block his attack. He widened his eyes, and his body trembled. His heart, the center of his c.h.e.s.t, and the center of his eyebrows had a speck of blood appear at the same time.

  "The increase in your qi realm doesn't mean that the difference between you and your opponent has shrunk. It will just make you arrogant and underestimate your opponent." Happy slowly sheathed his sword, and his tone was so calm that he sounded like he was lecturing a close friend.

  Thud!

  Right when he finished speaking, Blood Robes' corpse fell with a solid thud on the ground. His eyes were still wide open, but he had already lost his life, and his body was swiftly turning cold and blurry.

  "Treat this as me demanding the first blood debt from Class One Hall for Feng Zhi and my friends in Mu Clan's branch."

  But Blood Robes could no longer hear Happy's words.

  When she saw how Happy had casually killed Blood Robes even after his qi realm had increased to Inaction Realm, Clear Music suddenly s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath and stopped retreating.

  She knew that with her strength, it was impossible for her to run from Happy's pursuit.

  Her subordinates could not protect her as well!

  "Happy, you will definitely regret for all that you've done today!" Clear Music gritted her teeth and shouted in exasperation.

  Happy did not stop moving and just struck forward.

  A sword glare sliced past the c.h.e.s.ts of those Towering Palace members in a "Z" shape.

  Happy spoke indifferently, "I'll return your words to you."
