At the same time, a brutal and monstrous red light abruptly charged at him from the person across him.
One of them was a pure and mighty presence, and the other was a brutal and evil presence!
With a loud bang, the ancient sword spirits crashed into each other. For a period of time, dark clouds tumbled about. The sky turned dark, and the sand in the desert started dancing along the sword spirits.
"What happened over there?!"
Silver Wolf had finally finished dealing with the enthusiastic players in Flame Town when he suddenly noticed the powerful wave of impact coming from afar. In an instant, the wave traveled one-third of a mile, and everyone was shocked. They subconsciously turned their heads to look out the town.
They would have remained ignorant if they did not see it, but when they did, they saw sand filling the air in a circular area of one-third of a mile.
The desert in the distance seemed to have turned into another world.
Dark clouds filled that area, and two astonishing wills continued clashing in the air. Powerful gusts of wind continuously blew in all directions.
Sand flew in multiple layers on the surface of the desert because of the wind. They looked as if they were levitating because gravity no longer worked on them.
Countless grains of sand was suspended in the air.
Slowly, they formed a huge tornado that had a diameter of more than one-third of a mile.
The tornado with a diameter that was more than one-third of a mile was originally very thin, but soon, it turned into a dark and large tornado. The wills of the ancient weapons clashed so violently that the weather changed. They continuously created a tornado that stopped everyone from seeing into it. In fact, they created a natural disaster that would catch everyone's attention!
At the center of the large tornado were Happy and Flame Wolf. Both of them were not affected by the sand tornado at all as they faced each other.
But the sand was reenacting the fight between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor during ancient times.
Those scenes appeared in the sand, and they looked incredibly real.
At the moment this natural phenomenon appeared, Happy just watched quietly.
Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor, Heaven Crystal, and Tiger Soul.
When they met each other, they were engaged in a fight to the death that shocked the heavens and earth. Mountains crumbled, and rivers were destroyed. The skies collapsed, and the earth shattered. Blood flowed in rivers.
Chiyou mastered the path of evil, while the Yellow Emperor led those in the path of righteousness.
During the raging battle, Tiger Soul grew stronger as it was stained in fresh blood, but the Yellow Emperor and Heaven Crystal grew compassionate because of the lives on Earth. In the end, the Yellow Emperor sacrificed his life to die together with Chiyou.
Tiger Soul absorbed an increasing amount of blood during the battles, and it became even more violent. It became so brutal that a normal person could not control it at all.
But Heaven Crystal grew weaker after each battle. In the end, it ended up in the hands of the master of the Nangong Clan. In fact, Heaven Crystal's sword spirit was even destroyed by an ancient demon vessel used by the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance.
"W.h.i.n.e…"
He swung his arm, and Heaven Crystal released a long w.h.i.n.e. Happy removed his mind from the divine weapon, and his thoughts retreated from it like a receding tide.
"So that's how it is."
He raised his arm and brought Heaven Crystal to his eyes. Happy's questions had been answered, and he felt a heavy weight settle in his eyes.
"Heaven Crystal…"
All this while, he found it weird. How did Heaven Crystal end up being badly damaged with the ancient demon vessel the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance used? He did not expect that the culprit behind it was actually Tiger Soul.
The wills of the two ancient weapons clashed, fully reflecting the Yellow Emperor's fearless spirit when he was willing to sacrifice himself for the lives in the world to suppress Chiyou as well as Heaven Crystal's loneliness and sadness when it lost its master. It caused Happy to feel strongly resonated to the sword, and he sighed.
Ting!
A clear and penetrative sword while instantly rose in the air. The sentient sword will was very charming, and Happy, who had some understanding toward the path of swords, was quickly enchanted by this clear and clean sword will.
There was no mistaking it.
Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul were both ancient weapons. Since ancient times, their masters were mortal enemies, and they had fought against each other for countless years. This animosity that was born within them was already deeply embedded in their spirits. In fact, it was branded deep in the wills of the weapons.
Tiger Soul had appeared right before Heaven Crystal, and it stimulated the damaged sword spirit. It remembered its former pride and will, and with an indomitable spirit, it reflected its spirit upon its wielder's heart, which meant that it reflected its spirit upon Happy's heart.
The system notification rose once more.
"Fight to the death!
"Heaven Crystal's sword will is flowing out endlessly before Tiger Soul, and it is constantly remaining at the peak of its condition.
"As Heaven Crystal's master, it is your duty to chase down and kill the person wielding Tiger Soul!
"Kill Tiger Soul's wielder and destroy the qi as well as blood Tiger Soul has been devouring all this while. Cleanse the brutality within Tiger Soul! If you complete the quest, you can strengthen Heaven Crystal's will and increase the speed in repairing Heaven Crystal!
"If you fail, Heaven Crystal will be damaged, and its willpower will fade away. Heaven Crystal's attributes will be reduced by 50%, and it will be reduced to a normal divine weapon.
The series of system notifications entered his ear, and Happy slowly opened his eyes as he listened to them. He stared at the person ahead of him.
He was to kill Tiger Soul's owner.
Even if he did not have Heaven Crystal's sword will, he would do the same.
But how was he to cleanse the qi and blood in Tiger Soul?
Besides, Happy was trying to solve another problem.
It was very clear that Heaven Crystal's attributes were not at their peak, but across him was Tiger Soul, which had surpassed the peak of its condition, and Happy could use it.
Once Flame Wolf died, Tiger Soul would naturally fall into his hands.
With Heaven Crystal in hand, he might be able to subjugate Tiger Soul, and his mind would not be controlled.
In other words, Happy had the chance to obtain Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul at the same time.
The only thing he was worried about was that both of them could not tolerate each other's presence, and by that time, his losses would outweigh his gains.
When he thought of this, Happy sighed softly.
"Forget it. I'll have time to think about it after I kill Flame Wolf." Happy's gaze became clear, and he quickly made his decision.
Flame Wolf had practically snapped out of Tiger Soul's will at the same time as Happy did.
Just like Happy, Flame Wolf obtained a notification from Tiger Soul.
As long as he killed Heaven Crystal's owner and used Heaven Crystal's strength, Tiger Soul would not demand for blood endlessly everyday anymore. The wielder could retain his mind, and everyday, he would have the chance to use Tiger Soul for a certain amount of time.
He sensed the waves of power endlessly surging into him from Tiger Soul. He also saw Tiger Soul's attributes reflected in his mind. Flame Wolf's lips slowly curled up, and he started grinning brightly.
He slowly raised his head, and he glared at Happy fiercely.
"Hmph, you're the strongest player in the world? I'll let you know just how powerful Tiger Soul is today!"
Whoosh!
Their gazes met in the air.
The powerful sword spirit in Heaven Crystal and the brutal spirit o
f the white tiger in Tiger Soul immediately reacted to each other. Sparks flew in the air, and hostility swiftly grew stronger and clearer in their eyes.
At that moment, if anyone was in the area, they would definitely become dumbfounded.
Because the shadows of the awe-inspiring and mighty Yellow Emperor and the devilish, brutal, and savage Chiyou had even appeared behind them. Each of them occupied one side of the battlefield.
Whoosh!
Both of them disappeared from where they were simultaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bloody light and sword qis intersected with each other rapidly in the air.
The shattered saber glares and sword qis caused the dark desert at the center of the tornado to become even more dangerous. terrifying trenches were left behind on the ground, and they made it seem as if the ground had been cut by the gods' weapons, causing all sorts of wounds to be left behind on the ground.
During the few minutes they fought against each other, the saber glares and sword qis each occupied one side of the battlefield. Both of them fought on equal grounds, and neither was stronger than the other, which meant that neither could do anything to the other.
"Hahahaha!"
While airborne, Flame Wolf's crazed laughter spread to all corners of the battlefield.
"You're the strongest in the world? Hmph! Happy, even if you're the sect master of Lovely Land, that's all there is to you!"
With Tiger Soul in hand, Flame Wolf's attacks became incredibly domineering. The tiger's roars were like thunder, and they were mighty. His morale increased the more he fought.
Happy did not speak, but when he stared at Tiger Soul, his gaze became even more profound and solemn.
Tiger Soul was indeed extraordinary.
After Flame Wolf obtained Tiger Soul, his attacks became incredibly abstruse, and his power was not to be underestimated.
Even though he was not as strong as the alliance master, but the attacks Flame Wolf used did not seem to be using up his qi in the slightest, and the power in his attacks did not lose to those in the dao of heaven at all.
The most terrifying thing about him was that Flame Wolf seemed to have temporarily inherited some of Tiger Soul's ultimate skills, the tiger's roar, the saber glare, and a blood-red body fortification from Tiger Soul's will. Each of them was not easy to deal with, and since Flame Wolf himself had his crowd control skill, even Happy was unable to easily take down Flame Wolf within a short amount of time. He could only return to the perimeter of the battlefield to attack while he tried to search for Tiger Soul's weakness.
Chapter 1214 - Training
Boom! Boom! Boom!
These booming sounds rose nonstop in the tornado. Happy and Flame Wolf's fight continued.
They had already exchanged one hundred moves with each other, but the victor had yet to be decided in the fight.
Even though Happy was much stronger than Flame Wolf in terms of strength, at the peak of its condition, Tiger Soul's strength was way stronger than the incomplete Heaven Crystal. The abilities it provided had not just dissolved Happy's fierce offense time and again, and its attacks did not use up Flame Wolf's qi at all. The tiger-shaped saber glares swam in the air, making the weather change. It looked incredibly mighty and murderous.
"Hahahaha!"
Every time he destroyed Happy's offense, Flame Wolf would become even more smug than before. He laughed nonstop, as if he was already the strongest in the world, and he sounded incredibly conceited.
"Come! Again!"
Even the tornado could not drown Flame Wolf's confident and smug laughter.
Happy ignored Flame Wolf's madness. He continued doing what he did all this while and went on using his fiercest moves to attack Flame Wolf.
Hourly Sword Technique had become much stronger after Heaven Crystal had its sword will activated. Its ability in breaking defenses could even allow him to easily tear down the defense of a person in the dao of heaven. Once he used Sun Finger as well, the center of the tornado was filled with finger-generated gusts and sword qis. He also activated Full Winds in Long Skies whenever he had the chance. He was basically just pouring out his skills without thinking.
"It's useless! Hahaha! It's useless! Useless!"
Flame Wolf laughed madly in the air. His offense was just as terrifying. The tiger-shaped saber glares swept through the area, and in the distance, they could easily destroy his sword qi and finger-generated gusts of wind.
Sometimes, the saber glares would be destroyed by Full Winds in Long Skies, but the bloody light would rise from Flame Wolf's body. The thick blood light did not even shake in the slightest, and it completely parried Full Winds in Long Skies' attack.
Even though it was difficult for him to counterattack Happy's astonishing offense, it was very easy for him to use Tiger Soul to protect himself.
"Hahahaha! You can't accept it, can you! You definitely can't accept it! You've schemed a lot, but you didn't expect that Heaven Crystal would be able suppress the brutal presence in Tiger Soul, and I've managed to fully control the strongest demon vessel in the world!" While Flame Wolf attacked, he did not forget to deal psychological attacks on Happy.
Happy did not say a single thing.
When he noticed Happy's silence, Flame Wolf grinned even more, and he became even more smug. He spoke up repeatedly to provoke Happy.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you.
"If it weren't for you, Wild Wolves would not have been able to completely control Tiger Soul.
"Don't worry. Once I fully control all of Tiger Soul's secrets, the moment I return to the Chinese plains, the first thing I'll take care of is Lovely Land's members!
"...You really talk a lot."
Flame Wolf finally managed to make Happy speak.
His words were cold, and each word seemed like they came out of an ice cave. It could cause chills down others' spines.
"You don't have to worry too much.
"Once our leader fully masters Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, Wild Wolves will return to the Chinese plains. As long as you submit to us, Wild Wolves will forever welcome you with open arms."
Flame Wolf's words became even more preposterous.
With Tiger Soul in hand, he acted as if the entire Chinese plains and even the whole world was already the Wild Wolves' possession. Conceited words just kept tumbling out of Flame Wolf's mouth.
Happy scowled as he listened to it.
"You're just asking for death!"
Dragon Swings Its Tail.
As if he had struck a nerve, under Flame Wolf's surprised gaze, Happy suddenly vanished under Tiger Soul's saber glare.
Flame Wolf's eyes lit up.
His chance was here!
He took a step back unhesitatingly, and the bloody light from Tiger Soul grew stronger.
"ROAR!!!"
Right when Happy's body appeared in the air, the white tiger's roar accurately forced the figure in the air to freeze for a moment.
Flame Wolf had been waiting for this moment for too long!
In truth, Flame Wolf was not very confident that he could win, even though he had endless strength. After all, he had been suppressed all this while by Happy.
And this was the Chinese plains.
He had to find a suitable chance to change his situation and turn the tables so that he could escape from this predicament.
However, Happy's strength served as an obstacle. Flame Wolf had to pay full attention to handle it, and naturally, he could only use his words to provoke Happy.
Fortunately, Happy was finally unable to hold back, and he used Dragon Swings Its Tail. This was a killing move of Happy's that Wild Wolves had spent a long time researching.
The group had basically understood the attributes in Dragon Swings Its Tail and its attack trajectory.
The strength of Dragon Swings Its Tail would be the exact same as the enemy's attack, and the angle of its attack was to the northeast or northwest, which were the blind spots o
f a person's vision.
Naturally, right after Dragon Swings Its Tail was activated, Flame Wolf quickly locked down on his target, and he used a tiger roar to stun Happy's spirit.
"I caught you!"
The evil spirit hidden deep in Tiger Soul roared.
Flame Wolf laughed smugly.
Whoosh!
A red light flashed, and a saber glare that was 328 feet long tore open a gap in the tornado.
Flame Wolf swung Tiger Soul down, and Happy's frozen body was right under the blade.
Golden Arhat!
True origin aura!
Happy had three Willpower points, and he was not someone who could be stunned easily. He managed to snap out instantly from his daze, and without hesitation, he activated three layers of defense before he used Petite Dragon and tried to dodge that dazzling saber glare.
Unfortunately, the saber glare still struck his body.
Even after he activated three layers of defense, at the moment he was struck, his body still burned with pain, and he was thrown into the air.
Once his attack was successful, Flame Wolf's eyes shone brightly.
There was no way he would just let this chance go.
Because he finally seized the chance…
"Get lost!" Right when he wanted to chase after Happy, a cold and chilling shout that was filled with the power from Dragon's Roar was released. It sounded like thunder had just rang by his ears.
Flame Wolf shuddered, and he lost his chance to chase after Happy. He could only watch as Happy's body was thrown 32 feet away. With a nimble backflip, Happy then landed firmly on the sand.
"What a pity…"
Even though he managed to hit Happy just now, the damage was inconsequential. He did not manage to whittle down Happy's fighting strength, and he also knew that once he lost his chance to chase after Happy and continue attacking him, it would be practically impossible for him to try and threaten Happy again.
But Flame Wolf did not notice that at the moment Happy landed on the ground, his lips curled up slightly while his head was turned to the ground. A very mysterious smile donned his lips.
