  When he looked into this in detail, Happy instantly felt his blood burn passionately.

  Chapter 782 - The Three Giants’ Worries

  Leading an army into war and fighting in a war was a dream for every boy!

  Right now, the chance was right in front of his eyes, and there was no way Happy would not be excited.

  [Happy!]

  There were plenty of people who were very excited about this aside from Happy. They sent messenger pigeons over and asked about Happy's opinion. Even Silver Wolf joined in without exception.

  [The war will be situated at the borders to the north of Shanxi, right next to the Mongolian Empire. That place is Class One Hall's territory, and this time, we might encounter a little bit of trouble.]

  Silver Wolf reminded Happy.

  Happy frowned and answered quickly. [It's fine. During the one month the armies fight against each other, all branches in the Chinese plains will be invincible. They will not be invaded in any way, and we don't have to worry. Unless Class One Hall wants to miss this banquet, they will not choose to attack at this moment.]

  But Silver Wolf was still a little worried. [That's what I think so too. But war will only break out three days later, and we might not be able to cross Class One Hall's borders ahead of time. Otherwise, once the people from Class One Hall finds out that there's a gap in our defenses, they will definitely attack our branches, but if we don't enter ahead of time, we will waste too much time trying to get to the borders, and we will lose the initiative.]

  They will need at least one day to get from the borders separating Mu Clan and Class One Hall to the borders leading to the Mongolian Empire. If they moved ahead of time, they will be in danger, but if they dragged on until the war officially started, they did not believe that the Mongolian Army will be able to last until the end of the month when they faced the large Chinese world of martial artists.

  No matter what, Mu Clan was in a very passive situation. Class One Hall was close to the site of the war, and they will benefit greatly from it!

  [I know this too, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Class One Hall is in the north, and it's only natural that they'll benefit more than us.]

  This was something that Happy found himself helpless against.

  [If you show your face in the north on the last day before the war, things might be better.] Silver Wolf suggested.

  Happy instantly smiled. [There's no problem about that. I'm already very close to Beijing.]

  [That's good. Should I tell our clan members to begin preparations?]

  When Silver Wolf replied, Thunderous Battle also sent his messenger pigeon into Happy's hands. In his letter, Thunderous Battle went straight ahead to ask Happy how many people he wanted to mobilize in the war at the borders.

  [Those who want to carry out their quests at the borders can form their own parties and head there.]

  [So, are you saying that I can join as well?] Thunderous Battle sounded very excited.

  Happy smiled wanly.

  But he could understand Thunderous Battle's feelings as well. Ever since he built Mu Clan, he stayed in Baokang constantly, and he never left Baokang too far, so he was probably bored out of his mind. This time, he intended to use the event and come out to wander about while the two armies fought against each other.

  [You can come out if you want. After all, when we're at the borders, we can't fight against our own soldiers.]

  When Happy wrote this sentence, he actually felt that it was a pity. Because of this, he cannot stop Class One Hall from acc.u.mulating points to get military titles.

  [Alright. The people in the clan might be thinking about taking a stroll for a while as well. I've told the people in Pill Refinement Hall to increase their speed in creating Dew Pills and Origin Leopard Pills. The demand for these things will definitely exceed the supply during war. Heheh, at that time, I'll lead a group of cavaliers and experience the feeling of charging forward to break a formation! Even if I die, it wouldn't have been a waste to go up there to wander about the lands! Haha!] Thunderous Battle answered in incredible excitement.

  Happy smiled in resignation. Once he wrote his reply to Thunderous Battle, he talked about forming a party with Silver Wolf and Thunderous Battle.

  [That military rank system is a good thing. Not only will we be able to command soldiers, when we come back, we can even get commanding titles in the military. Those with the highest points can even get the title of generals, and even if we kill in the city, we won't be breaking the law!]

  [The Mongolian Army claim that they have one million armored cavaliers, and they didn't report a specific figure for their scouts and infantries. I think that the total points will be more than fifteen million points. Heh, at that time, we just need to form a group of elites and charge into the main force.]

  But Thunderous Battle's words were swiftly refuted by Silver Wolf. [When two armies fight, it's not a normal fight in the land of wanderers. You won't be able to get your kills so easily.]

  [That's right.]

  This was something Happy agreed with. He did not underestimate the Mongolian cavaliers like Thunderous Battle did.

  The cavaliers formed by these nomads were all great archers and warriors. Hu Bilie was also an existence praised and admired by countless countries in history!

  In the beginning, he caused Huaxia's [1] territory to cover almost all of Eurasia.

  Even though the Chinese world of martial artists seem to have great numbers and great strength as of current, causing there to be a discrepancy of strength between both forces, if they looked down on Hu Bilie and his cavaliers, things will definitely end in tragedy.

  Silver Wolf sent a messenger pigeon to each of the two of them as a reminder. [I've seen the marsha's elite heavy-armored cavaliers before. The Mongolian Army's cavaliers might not compare to them, but they should be about the same in terms of abilities, and we're talking about their normal cavaliers. If we're talking about the real Mongolian cavaliers, their heavy-armored cavaliers and Hu Bilie's cavalry archers are nightmares on the plains. With our strength, we simply can't fight against them.]

  Happy said nothing to refute Silver Wolf's opinion.

  When they were outside Yangzhou, even Drifting Sword had only attacked the marshal's heavy-armored cavaliers when their formation and layout was at its weakest, and he even had to use various techniques and avoid using brute strength to win against them.

  [Are they that good?] Thunderous Battle stuck out his tongue on his side.

  [It's not that easy to get points, otherwise, with so many players from China, no one will be able to get a lot of points. That's why I suggest that Mu Clan shouldn't send out too many people. We shouldn't do something similar to the battle at Light Summit, or else, the war will end before most of us get to the most crucial ticket to join it.] Silver Wolf said earnestly.

  [Instead of wasting time at the border for a month, it's better to settle down and train for a month. After this one month, Class One Hall might take action.] Silver Wolf did not forget to give them a reminder. [I've already heard from Wandering Know-it-all that Class One Hall has been using everything they have to bring Ximen Chuixue's disciple to their side. I'm talking about the mysterious teenager who defeated One Emperor.]

  When he said the last sentence, both could tell that the tone of the letter had become incredibly grim.

  If a top-class elite like One Emperor could not even receive one sword thrust from Ximen Chuixue, Silver Wolf had absolutely no confidence that he could win.

  If that sort of person ended up in Dream Clouds' hands to be used against Mu Clan, Mu Clan might be in even more danger.

  There was a reason behind Silver Wolf's worries. Thunderous Battle could understand it, and so could Happy.

  [This time, when I go to Beijing, I will personally meet that mysterious boy.]

  'Huh?'

  [That's Class One Hall's territory. It's not very appropriate for you to do that, is it?]

  [That's
right. Why don't we wait for the war to end first?]

  [It'll be of no harm to the boy if you win, but if you lose…]

  [Could you have some confidence in me, seriously? I'm in Moksha Realm, you know? If I really lose to Ximen Chuixue's disciple, I'll be able to see just where I am lacking as well.] Happy stopped writing for a moment before the tone in his letter changed. [The main point is that I really want to meet this youngster named Responsible Hero and see just how fast is his sword draw.]

  Chapter 783 - Responsible Hero’s Rules

  The outbreak of quests[1] at the borders and the appearance of the military title system attracted every player's attention. Regardless of whether it was sects of solo players, everyone cast their attention into understanding the system behind the Emperor's Announcement event. The shock brought by Ximen Chuixue's disciple, who had appeared out of nowhere, finally died down a little.

  However, Class One Hall never eased down on trying to recruit Ximen Chuixue's disciple!

  Right now, they finally had a third player who could be at the same rank as One Emperor and Happy, and there was no way Dream Clouds will be willing to miss trying to recruit him. Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword were still, after all, only at the level of Silver Wolf.

  On this day, a few people appeared outside Ximen Chuixue's abode in that alley.

  A man in white robes and held a Clear Edge, which was a three-foot long sword, stood at the entrance arrogantly and aloofly while he shouted at the door.

  "I am Drifting Sword, sect master of White Robe Sect, and I have specifically come to seek guidance from the Senior Ximen's successor."

  The rhythmic sound of the sword draw in the courtyard came to a swift halt. Then, a teenager's indifferent voice came from behind the door. "Do you know the rules?"

  The people outside the street felt their hearts freeze.

  Over the past few days, the people who came to the door and asked for Ximen Chuixue's disciple to come out came in endless waves, but since Responsible Hero was an arrogant person, he always ignored them. There were even many people who forced him to come out in the name of seeking guidance from him so that they could force Responsible Hero into coming out, but these people all died.

  Up until now, there was no longer a lot of people who dared stay outside the door!

  Drifting Sword's expression did not change. He calmly said a few words, "I challenge you to a duel."

  Only the duels approved by the system will allow Responsible Hero to avoid the punishment for killing people in the city. Hence, those who did not extend an invitation for a duel will not be able to see Responsible Hero.

  Drifting Sword was a true martial artist, and he understood this. He had also came with the intention of trying to gain an understanding of the fastest sword in the world and see the legendary Ximen Chuixue's sword technique, which was said to have reached a transcendent level, and see just how great it was. He also wanted to access from this and see just how great was One Emperor's sword technique as well as what level it had reached so that he would know whether he had the chance of surpassing One Emperor.

  Creeeaaaakk!

  The door opened.

  The mysterious teenager Responsible Teenager still looked like an icy mountain that will never melt. However, since he had killed many famous players or players ranked on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank in Beijing over the past one day or so, he now exuded an imperceptible but cold will, and when he looked at others, his gaze was even colder.

  When his gaze landed on Drifting Sword, he looked as if he was looking at a dead person.

  Drifting Sword said nothing. When he sensed Responsible Hero's slightly preposterous gaze, Drifting Sword frowned slightly, and he was slightly displeased.

  He had seen Responsible Hero draw his sword before. Even though it was very fast and he knew from first person experience that it was so fast that he could not react to it, it did not mean that he could not fend against it.

  Even though the famous Night Rain Asura lost his life in the duel, Drifting Sword was still confident in himself.

  There were certain moves and details that will allow him to make his judgment before his enemy attacked, and he could parry in time!

  This was a certain type of pride.

  Normale people will not be able to understand or possess the mindset of the strong, but to Responsible Hero, this martial artist with the extraordinary presence in front of him was the same as other people.

  He drew his sword and attacked every single day, and during the time he repeated this action day after day for a year, he had already reached the state where his heart was as calm as still water. At the same time, he also gained a deep and profound understanding toward this sword draw.

  But since yesterday, he had improved a little again!

  He noticed that his master had asked him to come out and fight in the duels because he wanted to train Responsible Hero's sword technique and have it increase to a higher level. Last time, his sword draw carried with it a great intent for revenge. It had sufficient murderous intentions, but not enough murderous will! His will and sword will could not fuse together at all.

  After all, his practice target all along had been bronze targets, not real people.

  As of right now, he was even faster, and his sword glare was even sharper!

  "I challenge you to a duel."

  "And I accept."

  Both were men of few words. Once Responsible Hero opened the door, he accepted the invitation for the duel straightaway, and when he accepted the duel, a golden yellow flag was stuck in the air before it vanished.

  A duel symbolized fairness and impartiality. Those who died will not drop their equipment or be attached with the weakness status, but their ranking will be affected.

  "You can attack now."

  Responsible Hero walked down from the stairs. His gaze was cold, and his tone was calm.

  Drifting Sword did not refuse it. During the previous challenges, One Emperor or the others had never been able to last through Responsible Hero's one sword draw. Once Responsible Hero drew his sword, it meant that the duel will end.

  "Wait!"

  Responsible Hero was stunned. He cast a person at the newcomer. He was in his twenties, and he looked rather normal, but there was an evil air about him, and when he jumped down the horse, his actions spoke of unruliness.

  Responsible Hero saw this person online before. He was Barren Murderer, vice hall master of Class One Hall, and he was very powerful. Even though he was not ranked on Dragon Rank recently, once he returned to the Chinese server, talks about him had been rampant, and he was clearly Class One Hall's best fighter!

  "Young Responsible, let's not be in a hurry to fight for now. Look at what I got you. Consider this as a small gift from Class One Hall."

  Barren Murderer clapped his hands with an evil grin, and a group of Class One Hall members behind him immediately pushed a few people forward.

  When Responsible Hero saw the avoidant gazes from the familiar faces, his gaze focused swiftly. A faint murderous aura instantly spread out of him, and almost within that instant, his grip tightened around his sword hilt.

  The people were shocked.

  When his aura reached its peak, Responsible Hero stopped in his motion of drawing his sword. His gaze gradually turned icy, and he looked toward Barren Murderer, who had a slightly shocked expression appear on his face. "I don't wish for anyone to b.u.t.t into my matters."

  Anger could be detected in his voice.

  "Don't misunderstand. Once these people learn about you, they immediately wanted to run away, but our people captured them. Our hall master admires your abilities very well, and we wish that you will join Class One Hall. Your enemies are just a small gift from us, since it's our first meeting. As for how we will treat you if you join us, our hall master has mentioned that aside from the position of hall master, you can raise any other requests!"

  As expected of Class One Hall's vice hall master, Barren Murderer showed no fear w
hen he faced Responsible Hero, who was now angry. He still managed to smile.

  Once Responsible Hero finished listening to his words, the anger in his eyes when he thought he had been played around gradually diminished.

  His gaze landed on his enemies' faces once more while they still tried to avoid meeting his eyes. A hint of scorn appeared in his gaze. "It's been one year, and you're still so weak.

  "Get lost. When I'm free, I'll naturally come for your heads." Responsible Hero was not in a hurry to take momentary revenge, because he knew that these people did not have the strength to fight back at all in front of him. If he wanted to seek vengeance, he could do so anytime.

  "Take them away."

  Barren Murderer smiled and, without hesitation, ordered his people to take these nobodies away. His gaze landed on Responsible Hero again. "Brother, have you thought about my suggestion just now?"

  "As long as someone from Class One Hall can receive one sword thrust from me without dying, I will agree to your request."

  It was rare that Responsible Hero made a request, and this was what he said in reply.

  Chapter 784 - Happy Arrived!

  "As long as someone from Class One Hall can receive one sword slash from me without dying, I will agree to your request."

  Responsible Hero's arrogant answer angered Drifting Sword, who had been watching by the side coldly for a long time. He said colly, "If I can receive one of your sword slashes, are you going to immediately join White Robe Sect?"
