  "I wonder what exactly they're thinking about."

  "Wait!"

  "Look, what are those people doing?"

  Just when the crowd discussed with each other, some people noticed that as the people at the perimeter of the lawless street gradually spaced out, the silver-robed people who had never moved suddenly spread out to the left and right. They quickly moved about the battlefield before they swiftly formed an encirclement.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Bamboo Hats were thrown into the air.

  Those thin white veils were instantly torn to shreds.

  Underneath those white veils were a metallic light that kept flashing. It also looked savage, and the metallic object looked sharp. Those Bamboo Hats were like iron hats that flew about the battlefield, and their edges were covered in sharp barbs.

  Those mysterious people with the Bamboo Hats finally revealed their true identities at that moment.

  "Assassin Hall!"

  "They're people from Assassin Hall!"

  "Fatal Flying Mace!"

  "There's so many of them…"

  Disbelieving cries of surprise exploded from the crowd.

  Tea Words was among the crowd. When he saw nearly two hundred strange weapons attacked to chains dance everywhere in the air with an astonishing momentum, he could not help but be shocked.

  "This is bad! It's Assassin Hall's Fatal Flying Mace! How can this be?! Why would Assassin Hall have so many of them?!"

  "What are those?"

  NotaRascal and Young Lonely Seven looked lost. They stared at the terrifying scene before them as it drastically changed the situation in the battlefield, but they clearly did not know what a Fatal Flying Mace was.

  Tea Words' face was dark. He did not immediately explain, but the people who were crowding them could not hold back from explaining. "Fatal Flying Mace is a demon vessel…"

  "Demon vessel?!"

  "That's right. It's a demon vessel which can chase after its target! The materials used to create it are very sturdy, and it's difficult to destroy! Its damage is also astonishing. Even though its accuracy is not really high when used against elites, with so many Fatal Flying Maces around… Those are not Fatal Flying Maces anymore, this is practically a Fatal Flying Matrix!

  "By the way, Fatal Flying Maces have another name. They're called Flying Guillotines!"

  Chapter 1008 - Able to Take in A Lot of Hits!

  Whoosh whoosh!

  The people controlling those Fatal Flying Maces were from Assassin Hall!

  The Assassin Hall members were resolute and brutal in their attack. When they took action, they did so at the force of lightning. They never gave their enemies the chance to breathe, and this time, it was the same.

  They used Class One Hall members to conceal themselves, and these silver-robed assassins were in charge of surrounding and clearing the battlefield of enemies. Then, once the battle started, they set up their Fatal Flying Matrix.

  Nearly two hundred Flying Guillotines danced madly in the air, and the loud whistles that tore through the sky was bone-chilling, despite the fact that it was not cold.

  If anyone looked from below, they would find that those weapons formed a formation that looked like a huge, gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth, and it was searching for a suitable spot to chomp down. It was savage and terrifying.

  "What nonsense is that?!"

  Clang! Clang!

  Even though the appearance of the large number of Fatal Flying Maces did not cause any immediate danger to Happy, each time multiple Fatal Flying Maces descended on him, Happy had to swing his sword to destroy those metallic toys, and his speed in chasing after the Class One Hall members naturally slowed down.

  Even though the Class One Hall members had clearly been prepared for this a long time ago, when they saw that Assassin Hall had completely set up Fatal Flying Matrix, many of them fled, aside from the dozen or so Class One Hall elites led by Barren Murderer who were dressed in full sets of demon vessels and the elders from Blood Alliance. Some of them were also familiar faces Happy had seen last time in Ghost's Domain.

  They were first-class elites Happy could not kill in an instant!

  Most Class One Hall members immediately fled from Survival Platform, and only a group of first-class elites surrounded Happy.

  These people did not take the initiative to attack Happy. They only parried Happy's attacks by working together with those Fatal Flying Maces when Happy attacked them. They worked together in teams of three or two, and their defense was actually pretty good.

  It had to be said that Class One Hall had actually thought a lot and used up a great deal of manpower and resources to fight against Happy.

  Those Fatal Flying Maces alone already numbered to nearly two hundred, and this was the first time anyone saw such a large number of them appear at the same place, and it was all to fight against Happy alone.

  At the same time, they also decided to use dozens of famous first-class elites and top-class elites against him. There were also more than one thousand people clearing the battlefield.

  Happy gradually felt pressured.

  Even if he tried to break out of their encirclement, the dozens of first-class elites around him were not easy to deal with, and with the Fatal Flying Maces descending from the sky, it was very easy for them to destroy one wave of Happy's attacks.

  The Assassin Hall members were clearly very familiar in using those Fatal Flying Maces. Those toys just kept flying down at him, and it was impossible for him to guard against them. It wore him down just trying to fight against them.

  Whoosh!

  Fifteen Fatal Flying Maces charged down from the sky at the same time.

  Happy scowled. He kept on moving about everywhere with Wave-like Subtle Steps.

  "Kill him!"

  Barren Murderer gave his order, and dozens of elites attacked together. They used all sorts of forceful and fierce lights instantly locked down the entire area.

  Bang!

  No matter how strong Happy was, it was impossible for him to completely dodge all the attacks from everywhere. His back was hit twice, and a sword glare even cut across his c.h.e.s.t violently.

  Those Fatal Flying Maces were repeatedly sent flying away by Happy's Recondite Steel Heavy Sword!

  "Continue!"

  "He won't last for much longer!"

  "Kill him while his strength is compromised!"

  When they saw that Happy fell for their attacks, the people around him became excited, and they attacked even faster.

  This scene caused the countless players watching the fight around them to become indignant.

  "Despicable!"

  "They actually brought over so many Assassin Hall elites and even set up Fatal Flying Matrix…"

  "Shameless!"

  "How detestable!"

  Class One Hall had used all their schemes, be it covert or overt, to fight against Happy. They had even set up such a trap while mobilizing a large force so that they could use every method in their disposal against him. This was no longer a fight between Happy and Class One Hall, but a base ambush using entirely unequal strength and schemes against someone who came here thinking about only fighting against them with no schemes whatsoever in his mind.

  Many people even wanted to rush into the lawless street and join the battle so that they could help Happy break free of his predicament.

  However, Class One Hall had clearly predicted that this might happen, and two thousand elites surrounded the entrance of the eight streets with hostile glares.

  With such a large group of elites guarding the area, even if the people from the various factions of power in Dragon's Gate wanted to take action, they had to consider things carefully.

  When they faced such a lineup, even Wind Assault Tower might have to mobilize a large group of their elites if they wanted to break through their encirclement.

  "Bastards!"

  "This has gone overboard!"

  The onlookers made a ruckus and conti
nued clamoring. When they saw that Happy was worn down from fighting against the trap set up by hundreds of people, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they gnashed their teeth together.

  The ones who were the angriest were, of course, Tea Words, Young Lonely Seven, and NotaRascal.

  "What should we do now?!"

  "We should just attack!"

  Young Lonely Seven and NotaRascal stared at Tea Words at the same time.

  Tea Words scowled and s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath.

  "It's not time yet."

  "We're STILL not attacking?! Did you see that?! Happy's not going to last any longer!"

  Young Lonely Seven flew into a rage.

  Anyone could tell that Happy was not in a good situation.

  Right now, the hundreds of former Beautiful Robes Faction members whom they contacted were at the perimeter of the entrances of the eight streets, and they were anxiously waiting for their command.

  As long as they gave their command, those members would definitely stir up the crowd to crush Class One Hall's defense line.

  Yet even so, Tea Words still did nothing. His gaze just turned even more grave, and he focused even more than before.

  "It's fine even if Happy dies once, but we can't die anymore! If we die, this time, we won't be able to win against Class One Hall!"

  "Are you waiting for Happy to die before we attack?!" This time, even NotaRascal found this a little past what he could endure.

  "Don't worry!"

  Tea Words pointed at the tense battlefield and explained. "Think about this carefully. Happy might seem to be in grave danger right now, but his body fortification hasn't been broken yet, and his footsteps are steady. Clearly, he hasn't lost his composure just yet, which proves that he's still not caught in the most dangerous moment yet. He can still last for some time."

  "What?"

  Young Lonely Seven looked stunned when he heard this, and he watched the battlefield carefully with NotaRascal.

  After all, these two were not high-end players.

  They could not read in-depth into the battle.

  He might have been attacked multiple times, but Happy's body seemed to be incredibly sturdy. Those fierce attacks from Inaction Realm elites could not even break his posture, and they could not interrupt his next action.

  Indeed, Happy might seem to be in a dangerous situation, but he did not lose his cool.

  He was still stubbornly blocking the suppression from Class One Hall elites and Fatal Flying Matrix.

  At that moment, not only did Young Lonely Seven and the others notice just how tenacious Happy was, even Barren Murderer and his group realized that the situation was off.

  Logically speaking, after taking in so many attacks from Ianction Realm elites, even someone like Evil Emperor, who was the strongest in the world, would have suffered from internal injuries a long time ago, coughed up blood, and died.

  Even if Happy had a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels and even if his Moksha Realm body fortification had reached Grandmaster Realm, it was impossible for him to last until now.

  But they did not know that not only did Shaolin Temple's peerless classic, Tendon Changing Classic largely strengthened Happy's Affinity, causing his Affinity to reach an astronomical figure, Tendon Changing Classic had also increased his defense to more than two thousand. It was slightly stronger than the defense in an Inaction Realm body fortification at Grandmaster Realm, and with the self-recovery ability in Tendon Changing Classic, Happy's sturdiness was already something that could not be compared with normal players. Right now, Happy's body already did not lose to a Myth Realm elite.

  "Did you see that?" Tea Words smiled softly and sent a private message to Young Lonely Seven and NotaRascal. "The longer Happy lasts, the more easily Barren Murderer and the rest will reveal openings, and the Class One Halls at the perimeter should now be used to having no one at the perimeter trying to fight back and interfere with the fight. It'll be our turn to attack soon."

  "Tea Words, you're awesome."

  "We nearly ruined something major just now."

  "We'll listen to you! We'll attack when you tell us to!"

  Young Lonely Seven and NotaRascal had released a huge sigh of relief at that moment, and they became even more impressed by Tea Words.

  But Tea Words just smiled wanly. "In all honesty, I didn't expect Happy to last so long either. I've originally been prepared to disrupt Class One Hall' formation before they can reassemble their formation while Happy is being revived in Guanlin Temple so that we can create a chance for him. But the situation right now is becoming increasingly beneficial for us."

  When he said this, Tea Words smiled.

  Because he saw that the Assassin Hall members outside the battlefield were already beginning to be unable to last using those Fatal Flying Maces, and they were now taking in medicinal pills.

  Young Lonely Seven and NotaRascal both looked stunned.

  The onlookers by the side could not help but be surprised.

  "That's right! I remember now! I heard that the requirements in qi and qi realm for Fatal Flying Mace is very high, and every time it is used, it will drain a large amount of qi, that's why we don't see a lot of people using them in the game."

  "Looks like Assassin Hall won't be able to last much longer."

  "Haha!"

  "Let's see how Class One Hall will resolve this situation."

  "Without Fatal Flying Matrix helping them, it means that Class One Hall will have one less trump card in suppressing Happy. Class One Hall won't be able to end the fight quickly, and Happy might launch a desperate counterattack and kill them all!"

  The crowd gradually became restless once more.

  At that moment, a person who looked like a leader in Assassin Hall noticed the plight on their own side, and he calmly shouted an order.

  "Split into two groups and take turns setting up the matrix!"

  While the Fatal Flying Matrix set up by nearly two hundred people had a frightening momentum, fewer than half of their people were actually truly useful to the fight.

  If they split into two groups to operate the matrix, they could immediately solve the problem of the Assassin Hall members not having enough qi.

  Tea Words and the onlookers were incredibly disappointed.

  If this continued, no matter how strong Happy was, he would have his mental strength drained by the high-intensity encirclement, and he would slowly break down.

  Death would then be inevitable!

  At that moment, Tea Words furrowed his eyebrows a little. He could not help it. During that time, he surveyed the layout of the people in the area and began thinking about how he should attack.

  At that moment, Happy suddenly laughed loudly while he was in the battlefield. "Vice Hall Master Barren, I've been playing with you for a long time. Now, it's my turn to attack!"

  Once he finished speaking, a small, black ball suddenly shot out from everywhere in the crowd.

  The strength in which the balls were thrown was different, and it instantly spread through the air in the lawless street.

  As dense thudding sounds rose, waves of black smoke spread out everywhere in Survival Platform.

  The smoke quickly enveloped all Class One Hall members and Happy!

  Chapter 1009 - Break the Matrix, Get out Unscathed

  Smoke bombs were a rather low-grade item in the game, and it could be sold in many places. It was rather loved by players during the beginning of the game, and it was usually used to attack other players or for fleeing purposes. It was a cheap item with tangible benefits.

  Smoke bombs were not offensive weapons and could only create smoke in a small area, but it could be used to obstruct sight. Hence, when the Class One Hall members faced the sudden invasion by countless smoke bombs, they found themselves rather resigned as well. They could only watch helplessly as balls of smoke quickly spread out in the lawless street and blur their vision, and they could do nothing about it.

  While t
he smoke bombs came from the street, this sort of action was something that the multiple elites who maintained the order in Dragon's Gate could tolerate.

  A large area of smoke enveloped all of Survival Platform and the lawless street. The Fatal Flying Matrix was instantly destroyed even without Happy attacking it. Once they lost their target, no matter how strong Assassin Hall was, it was impossible for them to take a gamble and see whether they could win the lottery while they were surrounded by a lot of their own people.

  Barren Murderer was the first to react to the situation.

  "Get rid of the smoke! Hurry!" Barren Murderer felt anxious.

  When he saw this, he already knew what Happy wanted to do. While he was in Ghost's Domain, Happy had used the unique environment and low visibility in Ghost's Domain to chase them down, causing the entire Blood Alliance army to die.

  Happy was alone in this situation, and he did not need to worry when he attacked, and their advantage in numbers would turn into their greatest weakness because of their low visibility.

  No matter what, he could not let Happy have the chance to massacre them!

  Smoke bombs filled the entire lawless street.

  Even if dozens of elites used their palm-generated wind to block the smoke bombs at the same time and had their qi flow fluctuated to circulate around the area, their situation did not immediately turn better.

  However, deep whistles that tore at the air that caused their hearts to tremble had already started sounding from the crowd, along with the sound of intense crashing of bodies against something heavy as well as tragic screams!

  "Vice hall master!"

  "We can't get rid of the smoke!"

  "Someone is causing trouble!"

  A number of people shouted angrily and in terror from the smoke.

  But the sound of smoke bombs exploding by their side and above them just kept on going without stopping.

  Right when their field of vision cleared a little, it would be immediately covered by new smoke, causing them to feel incredibly gloomy.
