While they had the ability to determine locations based on sound, when the matrix was filled with all sorts of sounds and the situation was incredibly chaotic, it was basically impossible for this ability to be useful.
But Happy's move had already allowed him to use Ten Thousand Poison Matrix to cause them to completely lose Happy's location and judge where he was.
"Force him to show up!" Immortal and Peach Blossom reacted the fastest. They quickly shouted their order, "Hurry up! We can't see him, but it's also difficult for him to discern the area around him!"
The Twelve Gu Poison Disciples gave orders to their own Gu poison insects.
A bright red thread shot through the shattered flagstones and torn remains of the poisonous creatures like lightning to enter the area where Happy was.
Blood Cicada!
At that moment, tiny poisonous creatures would have a much easier time getting close to Happy and attack him.
Unfortunately for them, they had clearly underestimated the power in Tendon Changing Classic's spiritual perception.
Even if he could not determine locations by sound and even if his eyes could not judge the changes in such a chaotic environment, his spiritual sense could allow him to control everything while remaining in a superior position.
If that were not the case, Happy would not have positioned himself in uncertain danger.
Blood Cicada!
When Happy saw the blood red light swiftly come closer to him, he swung his sword without hesitation.
A large, black aquatic dragon released a low roar, and it came down from above to cut that bloody red light at the right moment.
Boom!
The trail that was like a lightning bolt when the Blood Cicada approached Happy was devoured by a black glare. Its light dimmed, and soon, a loud bang rose. The petite Blood Cicada was instantly struck into the ground.
*****
The Gu poison disciple whose mind and soul had become one with his Blood Cicada only heard a sound resembling a thunderclap rise in the chaos while he stood on the stairs leading to Five Venoms' branch. Then, sharp pain suddenly rose in his heart, and his face instantly turned pale and bloodless. He staggered backwards, as if he was struck by lightning, and he vomited blood before he fell limp.
"Death of Flutes!"
Proud over All Life's expression changed. He immediately noticed that this was the sign of Gu poison disciples being affected because they shared their lives with their Origin Gu Poison Creature, which meant that they would also suffer the same amount of damage.
"Not good! Hurry up and summon your Blood Cicada back!"
The damage Death of Flutes suffered was getting worse, which meant that Blood Cicada was in an increasingly perilous situation.
The Gu poison disciples were also shocked.
"Connected Cities, prepare to save him!"
Proud over All Life was practically shouting at that point.
The person beside him said nothing else. He controlled a black and swollen insect to head forward a little.
Its mouth, which could not be seen clearly, spewed out a thick layer of black fog.
Wherever the fog went, some of the struggling and heavily injured poisonous creatures among the carcasses would look as if they had gained new life, and suddenly, they would be full of vigor, and they regained their mobility.
Clearly, this fog could increase the strength and vitality within poisonous creatures by a large degree. Not only could it cure their wounds, it would even make them even livelier than before.
The fog headed in the direction where Happy was.
This was a sign that it was prepared to save Blood Cicada, which was in a dangerous situation!
At that moment, crazed laughter suddenly rose from across the fog.
"Sect Master Proud, I'll be taking the lives of these two Origin Gu Poison Creatures from your sect, hahahaha!"
Before Proud over All Life could react, Death of Flutes, who was already limp and dispirited by the side, suddenly coughed up blood, experienced a violent spasm in the arms of two Five Venoms' members, shuddered stiffly, and rolled his eyes back.
"Sect master!"
"Big Brother Flute is…"
The Five Venoms members noticed that Death of Flutes' pulse had stopped. They shuddered and called out to Proud over All Life hesitantly.
Before they could finish speaking, a black aquatic dragon suddenly charged out of the chaos, and with its teeth bared, it violently pounced on the swollen Gu poison insect that was still spitting out that black fog.
"Dream on!"
Connected Cities had been paying close attention to Death of Flutes' situation. When he saw Death of Flutes spasming before dying, he immediately knew that his Gu poison insect would be the next target. Without hesitation, he ordered his pet to protect itself.
The swollen and black insect cried out, and the poisonous creatures around it charged to Happy as if they wanted to throw away their own lives.
At the same time, the Gu poison insect curled up and rolled to the main door like a ball.
"Haha… Thinking about running?!"
Happy laughed loudly. He did not care about the poisonous creatures that pounced on him. He just swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and a mighty sword glare instantly crushed those numerous poisonous creatures with the force of a bulldozer.
At the same time, hidden force erupted from underground and charged into the Gu poison insect's body violently.
Thud!
The Gu poison insect let out a cry before it stopped moving.
Connected Cities had blood trickle out of the corner of his mouth while he was at the main door of Five Venoms' branch. He stared at Happy, who broke through the poisonous creatures and pounced on his Origin Gu Poison Creature. His eyes were practically burning with how much he was glaring at Happy, and he shouted hysterically, "How dare you?!"
But while the other Gu poison disciples did their best to command their Origin Gu Poison Creatures to provide reinforcements, unfortunately for them, Happy just ignored them and moved past the swollen insect from above it. Then, his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword tore through the air, and he cut the insect in half from above.
Chapter 1000 - Five Venoms, Destroyed
As Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix and the Twelve Gu Poison Disciples pushed forward at full force, Wind Chimes and her group left, and the other players who took the initiative to attack Five Venoms were also sent into retreat. Because of this, most people left the area belonging to Five Venoms' branch.
The instant explosive burst of power from Five Venoms was indeed something that was difficult for the players to handle. Besides, there were also five Wild Wolves helping them by the side.
The flames of war were extinguished.
While many people left the fighting area, their gazes were trained on Happy, who was still the only one left in the battlefield.
To them, Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix was invincible when Wild Wolves worked together with them.
It was only a matter of time before Happy retreated from the matrix.
Many people sent messenger pigeons out in indignant rage and spread the news that Five Venoms was working together with Wild Wolves. A lot of them were prepared to cause a huge ruckus and completely destroy Five Venoms today.
But at that moment, a change happened in Ten Thousand Poison Matrix.
As stones and poisonous creatures' carcasses flew all over the air, quite a number of people noticed that two Gu poison disciples at the foot of the main door to Five Venoms' branch went limp.
"They died?"
"What's going on?"
"Two of Five Venoms' Gu poison disciples died!"
Even Wind Chimes, who had left Five Venoms' territory but still remained in the crowd, ready for battle while she paid close attention to the Wild Wolves' movements, was rendered speechless.
In just the blink of an eye, the two most unique Gu poison disciples among the twelve died, and the people on
the stairs descended into chaos.
"This is great!"
Wind Chimes was delighted, and she stood up. The thought of her joining the battle to help Happy break the matrix rose in her again, and she could not suppress that urge.
While the Twelve Gu Poison Disciples became very unique and powerful because of their Gu poison creatures, because of their Origin Gu Poison Creatures, they had one additional weakness compared to other people.
Once their Origin Gu Poison Creature died, the owners could not live as well!
What made these Gu poison disciples even more cautious was that once their Origin Gu Poison Creatures died, they would have to breed another one and use poisonous creatures to feed them again.
Happy's attack had not just killed two Gu poison disciples, he had also caused the remaining Gu poison disciples to feel chills run down their spines. Forget about how much time and energy was needed to rear one Origin Gu Poison Creature, searching for one alone would already require them to pay quite the high price.
The remaining ten Gu poison creatures did not bother about continuing to work with Ten Thousand Poison Matrix to surround and attack Happy anymore, under the orders from their masters, they retreated without hesitation.
Once the threat from the Gu poison creatures was gone, normal poisonous creatures could not stop him.
"HA!"
He moved using Wave-like Subtle Steps, and he swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword like a wheel.
"ROAR!"
Large, black aquatic dragons charged into the sky in coils.
The sword will which could destroy the world and the ability to suppress other forms of strength from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword caused those black aquatic dragons to push forward slowly like stone mills that weighed tonnes.
The poisonous creatures within a circular area of thirty two feet were instantly crushed to powder.
One circle. Two circles.
Happy moved very quickly as well.
He swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword thrice, and when the third black aquatic dragon appeared, it managed to travel ninety-eight feet forward, and it was already very close to Five Venoms' main door.
During that time, an unknown number of poisonous creatures were crushed in his hands.
When the people at the door saw the aquatic dragons charge over with low roars and aggressive momentums, they, including Proud over All Life, could not help but have their expressions change, and they quickly withdrew simultaneously.
When the Five Venoms members retreated, Ten Thousand Poison Matrix instantly showed signs of falling apart. Many of the poisonous creatures immediately lost someone controlling and commanding them.
"That cunning brat."
The Wild Wolves watched Happy smugly seizing the chance to push forward until he arrived at the door for Five Venoms. In just one moment, he was too far away from their attack range, and they could only lament their powerlessness.
Even Sword Control Art had an optimum attack range.
Once the distance was over ninety-eight feet, the abruptness in Sword Control Art would disappear, and not only would controlling the swords become much harder than before, their maneuverability would also be weaker. If they fought head-on against Happy, they would only end up being severely wounded, like before.
When they saw Happy charge into Five Venoms' branch without stop and how Ten Thousand Poison Matrix was on the verge of collapsing, many Chinese players began to grow restless, and they surrounded the Wild Wolves from all directions. The quintet's eyes shone with a complicated light, and they began thinking about retreating.
Right now, Five Venoms had lost Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, and the Chinese players were overcome by rage. It was set in stone that they would be destroyed. There was also Wind Chimes protecting them by the side, and it was very difficult for them to enter Five Venoms' branch to kill Happy. If they did not leave now, not only would Five Venoms be destroyed, they would also be killed.
"Let's go!"
Immortal and Peach Blossom growled before they turned tail and ran.
The quintet used the chaos and slaughtered their way out through the crowd behind them. Then, with a few jumps, they jumped on a roof before they quickly vanished without a trace.
Even though many people could not accept this fact, there were only a few who would actually dare throw away their lives and try to stop five top-class elites breaking out of an encirclement. They could only watch helpless as those five people left.
However, once Wild Wolves left, it meant that Five Venoms' final chance of prolonging their feeble existence was crushed.
"Everyone, let's attack together!"
"Kill them!"
"You bastards from Five Venoms, look at you! Even you fall!"
Many of the players who had been watching the fight for a long time surged forward like water breaking out of a dam. They charged to Five Venoms' branch.
"We're done for."
Proud over All Life had originally been prepared to summon his Six Golden-winged Mother of Gu Poison Creatures to stop Happy. He did not expect that once Happy charged inside, cries of murder that sounded like a tidal wave crashing forward would immediately sound from the area outside. The sounds of air being pushed aside could be heard nonstop, and people jumped over the walls of his branch endlessly. Proud over All Life's face turned pale, and he could only watch as his subordinates lost all their will to fight. All of them retreated into the branch.
His army had already collapsed!
"Sect Master Proud!"
Proud over All Life wanted to run, but Happy was even faster.
Happy moved, and he appeared under the eaves with his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. He stood across Proud over All Life, and with a calm gaze, he stared at the foundation, which was not too far away from him and was currently surrounded as well as attacked by multiple players. A smile finally showed up on his lips. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Happy!" Proud over All Life hissed through gritted teeth. His eyes were bloodshot.
There were only a few Gu poison disciples beside him. When they saw Happy showing up to stop them, they stopped moving forward and began retreating. However, they did not dare to summon their Origin Gu Poison Creatures. Their gazes were complicated, and while their eyes sparkled, they stood behind Proud over All Life.
Proud over All Life's expression was dark, and he said something that caused the people beside him to feel surprised.
"Are you satisfied now?"
One and a half years ago, his subordinates killed this man at the foot of Mount Song and forced him to delete his character as well as leave World of Martial Arts.
Five Venoms was over now.
Their crime of being in cahoots with Wild Wolves was already enough to cause the heroes in the world to attack them from all sides.
When he thought of this, Proud over All Life calmed down and fixed his eyes on Happy.
Happy naturally the meaning behind Proud over All Life's words. Once he heard his words, he shook his head slowly. "Both you and I know that Five Venoms was just a murder weapon. The real culprits are Blood Robes and Dream Clouds."
"There aren't many elites in Five Venoms, but they aren't people you alone can defeat, and if you can't kill all of us, do you think that you can actually fight against Class One Hall and Blood Alliance?" Proud over All Life could tell that Happy did not have the intention to stop with their destruction, and his expression turned slightly solemn.
Happy did not answer immediately. He only smiled faintly before he looked around himself.
The cries for Five Venoms' destruction grew stronger.
The Five Venoms members in the hall had all been killed, and the foundation had begun to show cracks as the crowd attacked it nonstop.
But no one came to bother the people under the eaves.
Many people saw that Happy had personally blocked Proud over All Life and his group, and in a show of great sense, they turned to fight in other places.
"
Why aren't you answering? You know very well yourself that it's impossible for you to fight against Blood Alliance and Class One Hall."
Proud over All Life's voice gradually grew louder, as if he had regained his advantage.
But Happy just shook his head in disdain.
"Sect Master Proud, the question you raised shows just how ignorant you are. Right now, even if Blood Robes and Dream Clouds showed up in front of me at the same time, do you think that they will actually be able to win against me?"
Proud over All Life found himself speechless, but he soon snorted.
"They're not alone!"
"Everyone knows that Blood Robes is the sect master of Blood Alliance, and Dream Clouds is the hall master of Class One Hall. This is something I don't need you telling me. I'm saying that you're ignorant because you always use your enemies' weaknesses to compare with your own strengths, but you don't know how to face your enemies and your weaknesses squarely…"
Proud over All Life said nothing.
"Since Five Venoms worked together with Wild Wolves, you will no longer be able to walk safely in the Chinese server with your name. Since you will end up like that, do you think Dream Clouds will be able to escape that fate?" Once Happy said those words, Proud over All Life's expression instantly turned even darker.
The Gu poison disciples behind Proud over All Life who were originally thinking about joining Class One Hall seemed as if they had fallen into despair.
"Die!"
Wave-like Subtle Steps.
While Proud over All Life and the others were disoriented and dazed, Happy moved in between the group, and the black aquatic dragons created by Recondite Steel Heavy Sword instantly pierced through the group of people.
Before he died, Proud over All Life did not struggle even in the slightest. Even though Six Golden-winged Mother of Gu Poison Creatures could fight against Happy, Proud over All Life did not possess any ability to protect himself.
After Happy swung his sword and killed that group of Five Venoms elites, he felt relaxed, as if a huge stone had been removed from his heart.
Since Wandering Know-it-all had already ordered Wind Chimes to take action, then the other Five Venoms branches would definitely not be in a better condition than the branch in Nanking.
