Chapter 820: Manager Cui
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The stronger a person was, the more likely he will use the simplest and most direct method to win against his opponent.
This was verified on Zhao Deyan!
When he noticed that the First Soul Returning Claw did not cause any substantial damage on Happy, Zhao Deyan resolutely gave up on using the First Soul Returning Claw. His cloak shuddered, and it turned into a purple longspear that was as hard as steel. He pointed it at Happy.
‘He’s serious now!’ Happy’s gaze darkened, but Happy did not dare have Zhao Deyan take the first strike next time. His n.o.ble Sword landed in his hands, and he drew it out with a clang without any flourish.
Ting!
A sharp and cold arc-shaped sword force descended from the sky with a mighty dragon roar under the starlight. A small, silver dragon crushed the purple longspear in Zhao Deyan’s hands.
A clear metallic clang sounded.
Under Happy and Yu Yan’s dumbfounded gazes, the purple cloak that had turned into a longspear was crushed because it could not bear with the clash, just as Happy expected it would. The pieces flew everywhere, but the clear metallic sound alerted Happy.
He sensed the st.u.r.dy feeling that came from the clash, and Happy immediately knew that there was something strange about the cloak. He activated Pet.i.te Dragon calmly and turned into an afterimage.
Among the torn purple pieces of cloth that flew everywhere in the air was a black recondite steel longspear that instantly pierced through the afterimage Happy left behind on the spot like a black bolt of lightning in the galaxy.
‘Zhao Deyan, what a man… He’s truly a brutal and ruthless guy.’
There was actually a longspear that was still hidden under the cloak. It was no wonder why he could hold the cloth so easily just now.
Happy knew that it was a close call just now.
But he was not out of danger just yet.
The spear stabbing at air and missing its target reminded Zhao Deyan of how bothersome his target was. His gaze darkened, and he changed his tactic without hesitation.
Even though Happy evaded the attack in time, his Pet.i.te Dragon only helped him with dodging in a small area. It will not help him dodge the attack completely.
Bang!
Zhao Deyan turned the thrust into a sweep, and Happy was immediately struck by the sweep. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was knocked more than thirty feet away.
However, Happy did not react slowly this time.
Once he activated Pet.i.te Dragon, he immediately followed with activating Arhat Body. Most of his qi was gathered at one spot, and it violently scattered the great force that came from the sweep. The damage he suffered was not great, but he still had quite a lot of his qi weakened.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Once he landed, Happy left behind six deep footprints on the ground before he managed to completely negate the force from the sweep.
But Happy’s momentum as he retreated did not weaken. Instead, with each step he took, he “flew back” even faster, and each footstep he left behind on the plains was deeper than the last.
His momentum as he flew back was so fast it was unbelievable!
Yu Yan found it strange in the beginning, but she soon noticed that Zhao Deyan had vanished from the spot at some point of time.
Her heart tensed. Yu Yan quickly stared at the direction where Happy was, and he finally noticed the gray and vague figure belonging to Zhao Deyan. He chased after Happy like a maggot attached to a corpse.
Yu Yan finally understood.
Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill with him, and his spiritual senses was much stronger than the average person. His judgment and precognition to danger was much faster than others, which was why he had used the momentum to swiftly retreat. If she had been in his place, she might have already been killed by Zhao Deyan.
“Myth Realm…” Yu Yan stared at the two swiftly moving figures, where one retreated and the other gave chase. She did not blink, because she did not want to miss even the slightest scene. After all, when it was a fight between powerful martial artists, the victor will usually be decided in an instant.
And just as she expected, once Happy negated all the force in the sweep, he subsequently used the power from Zhao Deyan’s spear to retreat at full speed, which allowed him to see all of Zhao Deyan’s actions.
Without the cloak serving to hide things, Zhao Deyan’s attacks were all in full display.
With the opportunities presented to him because of how quickly he was moving, even though only three short seconds had pa.s.sed, it was as if a long time had pa.s.sed.
Clang!
He flicked his wrist, and his n.o.ble Sword instantly turned into a dozen stars that filled the air around him. It instantly locked down all the directions around Zhao Deyan.
“Child’s play!”
He snorted coldly, and Zhao Deyan, who had been prepared for this a long time ago, thrust forward with his spear. The longspear violently crushed most of the sword glares.
Cling cling clang clang!
The remaining sword glares landed on Zhao Deyan’s soft armor, and sparks flew, but Zhao Deyan was completely unharmed.
When he saw this, Happy finally had his expression change slightly.
Even though his Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style had already reached the ninth realm and the damage was astonis.h.i.+ng, it was still not enough to go up against a Myth Realm martial artist.
One of the reasons behind it was because Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style was a speed based sword technique in Moksha Realm. The other reason was because Zhao Deyan was indeed much stronger than Jinjiu and Yins.h.i.+, and he was in perfect health, which did indeed make it hard for Happy to deal with him.
“Again!”
But while Happy was not a reckless person, Zhao Deyan was still not a Myth Realm martial artist at the level of Evil King s.h.i.+ Zhixuan, and he did not believe that Zhao Deyan was truly that invincible!
Another layer of stars flew out!
Zhao Deyan still drew a figure eight in the air and crushed most of the sword glares. Only a few of them landed on his body, and they did not leave behind a single sword gash on his armor.
In fact, he did not even show the sign of freezing up because he was forced back. Those attacks from the sword glares were all a.s.sessed as ineffective attacks. Only some sparks flew past Zhao Deyan’s face.
*****
At the underground base in Beijing’s headquarters, as the person in charge listed out the data from Happy’s attacks, the employees had their expressions gradually become solemn.
“Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style is at ninth realm. The base damage is around eight thousand.
“Fourth-echelon n.o.ble Sword. It is a perfected Nation Protecting Divine Sword, and it is considered a high-grade divine weapon. Its attack is at six thousand points!
“His Nine Yang Divine Skill will also increase 10% of his combat prowess.
“Moksha Realm will also increase 50% of his abilities.
“A normal sword slash from Happy deals around 23,000 damage. Four of those slashes landed on Zhao Deyan, but Zhao Deyan is unharmed.”
Once he finished speaking, the person in charge looked at the screen expressionlessly, as if all that happened on it had nothing to do with him.
But everyone could see a hint of graveness and a myriad of emotions in each other’s eyes.
Happy cannot win!
Happy was not only in Moksha Realm, but his equipment were all at their greatest potential, the strength he displayed when he fought against Zhao Deyan and his adaptability was also so great that no one could say anything bad about it.
When he retreated, the damage he delivered from his sword glares could easily kill an Inaction Realm elite instantly.
But that sort of attack was ineffective against Zhao Deyan!
Even Li Mei, who had not said anything before, looked slightly surprised. “Manager Cui, if my guess is correct, Zhao Deyan’s strength should be stronger than a normal martial artist at Myth Realm. He should almost be at the level of those four people at the main camp—”
“No.”
Once Manager Cui said that one word, he said nothing else.
The others were slightly disappointed, but they knew the rules here very clearly.
The players could search for the information that other players had already discovered in the game online, but when the players had not discovered the NPCs data or when the official developers did not reveal the NPCs’ strength and data to the players, the players will not be able to search for or ask the official developers for information about those NPCs.
The group of people returned their gazes to the screen.
Happy attacked a few times, but not only were his attacks ineffective, he had also used up quite a lot of his qi, and it caused Zhao Deyan to laugh arrogantly and madly.
“It’s useless!” While he chased behind Happy, Zhao Deyan laughed loudly.
“Murong Clan boy, even if you have plenty of ultimate techniques, if you’re not skilled enough in using them, it’s still useless. A person who is strong can win against ten who are unskilled. This is something that you should understand.”
“Is it? Then why do you keep four sword glares around every time?”
Happy’s cold voice contained a faint, mocking tone. Before his voice faded away, an astonis.h.i.+ng presence traveled from him to Zhao Deyan, and Zhao Deyan quickly shut up. Surprise appeared on his face. Then, dazzling sword glares that filled his vision came charging at him from all directions, but the difference this time was that Happy also rushed at Zhao Deyan without a qualm!
