He stopped talking for a moment before he added, "Today, I came to you to give you a present."
Clear Music said nothing. She stared at Happy with an unpleasant expression, but she did not dare miss a single word from Happy.
Happy spoke leisurely, as if he did not mind wasting time here at all. "You destroyed one of my branches, so I won't act much. I'll take your headquarters in Yangzhou City as compensation."
"You—!"
"Also, you were the one who provoked Mu Clan and caused war. You caused the deaths of four thousand Mu Clan members, so you will give me forty thousand lives as compensation." Happy still acted calmly.
A sword light flashed.
Continuous sounds of people falling to the ground rose. The Towering Palace members nearby were all killed, and only Clear Music alone was left!
"You're going too far!"
Clear Music was alone now. She watched the corpses that filled the entire area in front of her, and her c.h.e.s.t heaved. Clearly, she suffered the great shock from this.
Happy had not finished speaking. He continued at his own pace. "I don't want too much. From now on, all Towering Palace members in Yangzhou City will die for them."
Clear Music was so angry that she could not say anything.
However, the meaning behind Happy's words caused her to feel her heart tremble.
The headquarters!
This time, Happy was already determined to take down Towering Palace's headquarters.
"You want my headquarters? Alright, I'll give it to you! But all of your subordinates and your ally, Wind Assault Tower, will die here!"
Clear Music's eyes were red as she stared at Happy walk toward her while she screamed hysterically.
"They'll be fine."
Happy did not even look at the battlefield.
But once he said this, Clear Music turned her head swiftly to the distance, as if she had been struck by electricity.
A disturbance seemed to have appeared at the back of Towering Palace's camp far into the distance. A group numbering to hundreds had forced their way in, and they mowed down all resistances in their way.
"I'll let Silver Wolf take your life. Now, what I want to know is this: where is Dragon Sect's vice sect master? I know he has been by your side all this while."
Happy looked around the area with a cold tone, and wherever he looked, the martial artists will avoid him.
Chapter 766 - Flashy
"They're finally here!"
When the hundreds of Mu Clan elites who followed Happy rushed into the battlefield from the back, the Wind Assault Tower members clearly feld their pressure decrease. When Towering Palace's rear fell into chaos, they seized the time and launched a counterattack.
Both sides met up with each other.
"Where's Happy?" When he ran into a Mu Clan elite, Wu Kuo eagerly seized a person and asked.
That person did not even turn his head around. "Our boss left ahead of us. He has been here since a long time. I reckon he went to cause trouble to those Towering Palace higher-ups."
Wu Kuo and the others instantly looked at each other at a loss.
'Cause trouble to those Towering Palace higher-ups? Vast Heaven and Grim Green are at the battlefield… Could it be that he went to find that woman?!'
"Brothers and sisters, our time for a counterattack has arrived!
"Kill them!"
The people from both sides gathered together, and they numbered to nearly two thousand people. They instantly launched an astonishing charge that swiftly tore through a few gaps in Towering Palace's large unit.
"Damn it!"
"Who are they?! Why can't we cut them?!"
Towering Palace's members had shocked and alarmed expressions while they retreated as they fought.
Only some of those who joined the frontlines earlier during their fight against Mu Clan's branch knew that these were Mu Clan's elites. Their equipment were incredibly good. In fact, they were even better than those who died during the battle at the branch!
After all, while the people who mobilized from the other branches for Yangzhou City's branch might be among the top one hundred fighters in each branch, the branches they originally belonged to still needed someone to guard them, and the ones who stood at the top of the ranks in the branches were never mobilized. However, ever since the grievous news about Yangzhou City's branch spread out, quite a number of branches sent their best fighters over.
This group of people who appeared at the battlefield were not that much weaker than Feng Zhi, and they had absolutely no problem in fighting against ten people alone.
This group of people quickly carved a few bloody paths by forcing their way forward. While the Towering Palace members screamed in shock, the Mu Clan members continued pushing forward in Yangzhou City's direction.
"Mu Clan, what a sect."
When they saw that the situation had instantly been turned around, the factions of power and martial artists who were watching in the distance felt incredibly shocked.
"Towering Palace is in big trouble now!"
"Towering Palace still has a very great foundation of power. It's not likely that Mu Clan will be able to destroy Towering Palace's headquarters with just this bit of people."
Quite a number of people were still rather confident with Towering Palace.
However, a small number of people looked into another direction in the distance.
"Not necessary."
*****
Clear Music was ambushed. Blood Robes died. As the instigator for the ambush at Mu Clan's branch and the other ally for Towering Palace, Dragon Sect's vice sect master must show up.
When Happy said those words, a figure jumped up from the crowd not too far in the distance, and he landed in front of Clear Music lightly.
"There's no way I won't dare come out when the strongest fighter in the Chinese server summoned me." There was a rather solemn expression on the middle-aged man's face.
Just now, he saw Happy attack a few times from the back of the crowd, and this was the second time he sensed a powerful sense of danger from someone.
The first was from One Emperor, and the second was Happy!
"...You're the reason why Clear Music dared challenge Mu Clan?" Happy's tone was very calm. He had already heard about this person's strength, and he knew that he was about as strong as Silver Wolf. He was one of those to whom Silver Wolf cannot gain an upper hand over them even after a long battle, and he was among the ranks of a top-class player.
However, ever since Happy's Universe's Lightning Destruction Style reached the eighth realm, a person of this caliber will have a hard time to continue serving as a threat to Happy.
"Specifically, it's not me, but us." The middle-aged man did not want to lower his own prestige before Towering Palace and the entire Chinese server. With a snap of his fingers, the crowd split up, and twelve people walked out in a single file.
They were all Dragon Sect members, and each of them walked with steady footsteps. Their breathing was long, and their eyes were lively!
"We have plenty of other elites like this in our martial arts school in America, and right now, there are only thirty-six who entered China!"
The middle-aged man tried to use numbers to build an imposing presence and pressure, but Happy's casually spoken words destroyed it.
Happy quirked an eyebrow. "So, are the other twenty-four in the crowd that is currently retreating because they're beaten down?"
Nearly ten thousand people were forced to withdraw by two thousand people. They could not hold up to them at all, and this caused them to show themselves to be losers.
The middle-aged man looked awkward and embarrassed.
Naturally, Happy knew what this middle-aged man was thinking. He continued mocking him mercilessly. "You don't have any power to turn the tides, and you call yourselves top-class fighters? Hey, foreigner, do you think that just because you learned martial arts in a martial arts school and are slightly better with your fists
that you can disregard everyone else in the world?"
"You—"
"Alright! If you want to get involved with the Chinese world of martial artists, you will need strength. Since you said that I am the strongest in the Chinese server, I will temporarily take that title with a smile and measure your strength. I'll see whether your tricks and skills will be enough for you to survive here." Happy's tone became increasingly sharp and rude!
He was already filled with hate toward this group of people who caused trouble in the Chinese server, especially to those who were Chinese. He had not immediately attacked because he wanted more local Chinese players to know just what sort of ulterior motives these foreign factions of power harbored. At the same time, he wanted to give a little warning to the other foreign factions of power who harbored the same thoughts.
"Alright." Dragon Sect's vice sect master was already forced by Happy to a point where he had to fight. His expression darkened, and he said frankly to his disciples. "Attack together. Get a feel of the strongest fighter in China."
*****
"Strongest fighter in China."
"This is the first time Happy admitted that he is the strongest fighter."
"Heh heh, looks like after he entered Moksha Realm, Happy's strength has indeed increased by leaps and bounds, or else, he won't act in such a flashy manner."
"Stop talking and watch! They're fighting!"
"Those Dragon Sect martial artists are indeed pretty good. I heard that a lot of elites from Mu Clan died in their hands, and Happy is going to fight against more than ten of them at the same time. Whew…"
Not too far away was a man in a brocade robe with black borders. He had a Bamboo Hat over his head, and he was like a statue that stood coldly in the crowd. Behind the thin white veil were a pair of burning eyes that stared at Happy, Clear Music, and the group following Dragon Sect's vice sect master. There was faint puzzlement and expectation in his eyes.
This person was naturally One Emperor, who escorted Silver Wolf and the others out of Yangzhou during the break out.
Even though he left Silver Wolf and the others, One Emperor still felt worried, which was why he stayed in Yangzhou and followed them in secret to keep watch over their actions.
He did not expect that he will run into Happy unexpectedly!
Besides, the strength Happy showed caused his eyes to light up.
That speed and ferocity might not compare to Fatal Thirteen Swords, but the quick slashes and sword slash that was shown stirred up One Emperor's heart as a powerful swordsman. He wanted badly to fight against Happy so that he can test his newest eighth slash, which he had just mastered!
However, it had not been a long time since the battle at the summit of Mount Tai, and even now, he did not have absolute confidence that he could win against Happy. However, he was very curious as to what sort of level Happy had currently reached.
Chapter 767 - Slaughter
As Dragon Sect's vice sect master gave an order, twelve Dragon Sect members split up to the sides with sparkling eyes, and they surrounded Happy.
They drew their weapons, and cold light shone!
Even though Happy was surrounded by many elites, he still stood still with his sword. He looked relaxed, and he said calmly, "Do you want to call your other twenty-four disciples to attack me together. I can wait."
"Happy, don't be too arrogant. No matter how strong you are, you can forget about running from our hands." Dragon Sect's vice sect master snorted coldly and slowly with great confidence. At the same time, he brought out two throwing knives from his sleeves!
"Oh?" Happy quirked an eyebrow.
'Twelve people will set up a formation, and the vice sect master will control the situation from outside. It's an interesting thought.
'So, I won't be fighting against twelve people, but thirteen…
'Looks like he's serious.'
One Emperor frowned slightly in the crowd.
Even though he believed himself to be extraordinary, under this sort of situation, he could also gain a vague understanding of the Dragon Sect members' ulterior motives.
Happy will have to fight against a group of extraordinary martial artists, and someone outside will be ambushing Happy to create chances for the elites. Happy will have to multitask, and if he was the slightest bit careless, he will fall to his defeat, and he will not be able to turn the tides.
One Emperor was incredibly puzzled.
"But why?"
*****
"Attack."
Happy's longsword was drawn from its sheath with a clang. He spoke calmly, but he created quite the pressure on those from Dragon Sect.
The group of people cast each other a glance before they nodded at the same time.
Within a moment, Happy was enveloped by a dense wave of weapon shadows!
Saber glares and sword forces instantly formed a prison of death that completely locked Happy within.
Those watching s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths at the same time.
They did not expect that the Dragon Sect elites will use such a fast and fatal method right from the get go. Their teamwork was impeccable, and they instantly locked down all of Happy's escape paths, not allowing him any chance to escape.
Under the dense wave of attacks, the ground shattered and the air w.h.i.n.ed. Each attack was incredibly astonishing!
One Emperor also narrowed his eyes.
Even he, who placed his main focus on purely attacking his enemies, could detect a hint of danger from this.
If he faced this sort of attack, he might need his sixth slash to get through it!
With Happy's attack speed, he actually managed to receive that group of elites' attacks in an orderly fashion. He attacked repeatedly with his sword and continuously shattered the sword forces and saber glares. He missed none of them.
"As expected of Happy."
Right when he had this sort of sentiment, One Emperor's eyes suddenly focused! He redirected his gaze and noticed that Dragon Sect's vice sect master, who had been keeping still all this while, suddenly threw the throwing knives in his hands!
"This is bad!" One Emperor was shocked.
The vice sect master's timing was incredibly good.
While Happy's sword speed was astonishing in the encirclement, when he faced the neverending attacks from the twelve, he still felt a little pressured. Once the second round of attacks ended, he could not help but reveal an opening,
Dragon Sect's vice sect master caught that instant Happy revealed his opening!
Two throwing knives moved into the prison of death formed by weapons like flowing lightning bolts.
When he threw the throwing knives, the smug smile that appeared on the vice sect master's face quickly froze.
Those throwing knives actually turned around and landed on Happy's palm!
At the same time, an astonishing vortex appeared around Happy.
The techniques and qi released by the twelve Dragon Sect elites were affected at the same time, and they were led to another place by a power they could not fight against.
Both sides clashed against each other.
Dragon Sect Member A's attack landed on Dragon Sect Member B.
The twelve showed expressions of shock at the same time, but they could not fight against it at all.
Life and Death Realm was absolutely not enough to fight against Happy's Shifting Stars, which he executed at Moksha Realm. Happy used his opponents' strength to fight against them, causing them to be unable to control their bodies and go up against their own attacks.
Thud!
The sound of flesh being pierced through rose and fell.
"AH!!"
"AAAHH!!"
Pained screams rose, and the twelve were instantly torn to bloody shreds by their own attacks. They coughed up blood violently, and they flew out.
Clear Music and Dragon Sect's vice sect master were dumbfounded. They could not believe what they saw.
Dragon Sect's members were all top-class
elites who were equals to Vast Heaven and Grim Green, but they were all easily defeated by Happy.
"Too weak."
At that moment, Happy released a soft sigh.
The group of Dragon Sect members only heard the sound of the wind quickly blew past them before his consciousness was quickly destroyed.
Ting!
Happy easily cast aside the two throwing knives before he pulled his sword back and stood. His gaze landed on the vice sect master's face, and Dragon Sect's vice sect master was currently pale. "What is this martial art?"
"Murong Clan's ultimate technique, Shifting Stars." Happy smiled faintly, and he did not hide anything.
Clear Music's expression was dark. "I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me."
Happy chuckled softly and said in a mocking manner, "I didn't expect that you would know Shifting Stars' incantation."
Clear Music was first stunned, and her gaze instantly turned dark.
*****
"'I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me.' What a technique." One Emperor pondered over this with a contemplative expression in the crowd. Then, he had an anguished smile appear on his face. "Looks like I will have to focus on training and gain an epiphany of an even faster sword technique before I can fight against Happy again."
*****
"When you came to China from America, you should have expected this to happen to you."
Happy walked out of the encirclement calmly while he stared at Dragon Sect's vice sect master and Clear Music indifferently. "Right now, we have enough spectators, so I will give you a final warning.
"Don't come to China anymore to cause trouble, or else, Mu Clan will make sure that you have no place to stand here!"
Right when he finished speaking, a dazzling sword glare sliced past the vice sect master's eyes.
Even though the middle-aged man was a top-class martial artist and noticed Happy's attack, he still quickly understood that the area around him had been completely locked down by the sword glare Happy released once he attacked with his sword.
