Chapter 1007: Also Known As Flying Guillotine
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the moment Recondite Steel Heavy Sword landed on Survival Platform, all the people watching the scene in Dragon’s Gate were deeply shocked by it.
It was as if Recondite Steel Heavy Sword did not stab into the ground, but had instantly crushed the subtle changes in the people’s hearts after Barren Murderer said those words.
Recondite Steel Heavy Swords had stabbed into their hearts at that moment.
Even Barren Murderer was affected. Everyone looked simultaneously into the direction where Recondite Steel Heavy Sword flew over, and they saw the figure at the path that had been automatically formed by the people.
That figure had no weapon in his hand, but even so, he still managed to intimidate everyone in the place with his prideful and straight back.
At the moment Barren Murderer’s gaze was fixed on the figure, his pupils subconsciously shrank a little, and a grave look flashed in his eyes.
The awe-inspiring momentum he had acc.u.mulated for his counterattack had been instantly crushed by one single slash from Happy, which seemed to have descended from the sky itself.
At that moment, the people in Dragon’s Gate had their gazes fixed on this man. It was as if all light had been gathered together on him and his weapon, and they fly over the crowd to land on Survival Platform. That sort of courage caused even Barren Murderer to be unable to help himself but feel his heart tremble in an unprecedented manner. A fighting spirit he had never sensed in himself started burning in his chest.
Many people just watched this figure quietly.
At that moment, it was as if he was the only one who existed in the world.
A large number of people held their breaths and did not even dare make a sound at that moment.
They stared at Happy as he moved forward steadily while he was surrounded by countless enemies. His movements were calm and relaxed. The elites from the various factions of power hidden in the crowd could not help but gasp in amazement when they saw him.
“You finally appeared.”
There was naturally only one person who could break this silence and peace, and he was currently the only person in Dragon’s Gate who had the authority to talk to Happy—Barren Murderer!
Barren Murderer could already sense from the people’s eyes and presence that as Happy got closer to Survival Platform, the awe-inspiring might within the two thousand or so people on his side was slowly diminis.h.i.+ng.
Happy was getting closer to Survival Platform and Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and the closer he got to the place, the stronger the imposing air around him became. As he became stronger while his side became weaker, when he got up Survival Platform, the morale and imposing air among the two thousand people on his side would be completely stripped clean. Barren Murderer would, of course, not want that situation to appear.
Hence, while Barren Murderer spoke, he jumped forward, traveling thirty two feet in one go, and appeared across Happy like a sharp sword, brutally destroying imposing air echoing between Happy and Survival Platform.
However, Barren Murderer soon noticed that his actions were in vain.
“Vice Hall Master Barren, are you really in that much of a hurry to become my first opponent on Survival Platform?”
When he said those words, Happy did not show any intention to stop moving. There was a faint, barely visible smile on his face. “Or do you not want me to retrieve my weapon? That’s good too. While it’s a bit troublesome without a weapon, I’d like to see exactly how many of my punches you can take.”
The distance between them swiftly shortened.
Happy’s quick reaction caused Barren Murderer to be slightly thrown off guard.
The duo’s actions and words were very relevant to the conversation and worked in tandem with each other. They spoke in the tone of old friends meeting and were about to spar with each other, and no one could sense the slight bit of killing intent and were going off at each other’s throats.
At the same time, since Happy did not have a weapon, Cla.s.s One Hall’s reaction was clearly a little late…
When they noticed that Happy had suddenly activated Wave-like Subtle Steps to get close to Vice Hall Master Barren, many people abruptly snapped out of their daze. Even if he was unarmed, Happy was still very terrifying, and here they were, letting Barren Murderer fight against Happy alone, and he was someone who had the power to kill multiple top-cla.s.s elites!
Everything actually happened in a flash, even though it might seem to have happened slowly.
When Happy finished speaking, the duo had already started fighting.
Wave-like Subtle Steps!
Wave Stomping Wind Seeker!
Barren Murderer could be considered to have reacted quickly. At the same time he activated an Inaction Realm lightness skill to maintain the distance between them, a layer of purplish-green flames lit up around him with a bang.
Dragon Capture!
Happy attacked at lightning speed right when he launched his offense. He did not give Barren Murderer the chance to catch his breath.
However, when he grabbed Barren Murderer’s arm with his left hand, a heat that seeped right into his bones surged into him through the spot where Happy touched him.
At that moment, Happy scowled.
Barren Murderer’s body fortification could harm people, and at the same time, Happy noticed that his qi was suddenly depleting at a fast pace.
Right when he touched the flames, the depletion of his qi became even faster.
It was similar to Silver Wolf’s Red Flame Palm, but it was clearly of a higher grade than his Red Flame Palm!
“Great technique!”
Happy could not help but praise him softly.
A smug look flashed in Barren Murderer’s eyes, but it soon vanished.
Even though Happy’s qi depleted very quickly when he touched the flames, Happy did not release his arm hastily as he expected he would do. Instead, an inexplicable power that was in conflict with his own bounced out of Happy’s body, and it forced out the strange true qi which had seeped into Happy’s body.
Barren Murderer was the ex-vice hall master of Cla.s.s One Hall, and it was not strange that he was equipped with amazing and peerless martial arts, but Happy was not bothered by it.
He had Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic with him, and the world was in his hands.
His Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic was at the tenth realm, and it was already infinitesimally close to mastery. His body could already automatically form an incredibly st.u.r.dy layer of periosteum. While Barren Murderer’s flame body fortification was pretty decent, unfortunately for him, Shaolin Temple’s supreme divine skill was something that was beyond even a person’s wildest dreams!
When Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic circulated on its own, the qi that had leaked out of him was automatically replenished.
In the span of a breath, Happy slammed a palm against Barren Murderer’s chest without hesitation.
Bang!
Even though the damage in a Life and Death Realm martial art could do no damage to Barren Murderer, the hidden force he delivered during that time still caused Barren Murderer to suffer from quite the setback.
“Urgh!”
Barren Murderer grunted and took half a step back with a dark expression.
The victor in a fight between elites would usually be determined because one side had been momentarily careless.
Barren Murderer had made a wrong estimation of Happy’s determination, and having Happy get close to him was in itself already a mistake. Later on, he had wanted to find some semblance of balance from Happy so that he could turn the tables and win against him, but that was clearly impractical.
Even though the Cla.s.s One Hall members had already snapped out of their dazes at that moment, Barren Murderer had still been repeatedly struck by Happy’s Dragon Claw and Demon Subduing Vajra Kick while he was subdued by Dragon Capture, causing him to lose his ability to counterattack. His organs were repeatedly struck by hidden forces, and in a moment, Happy had dealt more than ten blows on his body.
Blood trickled out of Barren Murderer’s lips.
His expression was incredibly sour while he was forced back to Survival Platform.
“Happy, release our vice hall master!”
“Attack him!”
Cla.s.s One Hall, Blood Alliance, and Heaven’s Music Sect finally noticed that the situation was bad for them, and they roared in anger before they attacked.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The sound of robes fluttering was heard, followed by the sound of weapons being drawn.
Hundreds of people surrounded Happy.
Only the silver-robed people with Bamboo Hats did not immediately attack. They stood where they were quietly and just watched the area ahead of them, which had suddenly descended into chaos.
“Shameless!”
“You’re famous players in the game! Isn’t it too much, attacking a person with so many?!”
“That’s right! You’re too despicable!”
When they saw the situation quickly losing control once Barren Murderer ended up in Happy’s hands, the players in the streets and the roofs could not bear with the sight and shouted.
Whoos.h.!.+
Happy also reacted incredibly quickly.
Once the situation descended into chaos, he took the initiative to give up on killing Barren Murderer, who was decked head to toe in top-grade demon vessels. He moved more than sixty-five feet forward at lightning speed, and layers of afterimages overlapped with each other on Survival Platform. Then, Happy appeared near Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.
Clang!
A loud clang rose. Happy grabbed Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and drew it out of the flagstone that formed Survival Platform!
With Recondite Steel Heavy Sword in hand, the people who drew closer to him in a circle felt as if they could sense a suffocating wind cras.h.i.+ng into their faces, and they took a step backwards.
“Since you’re not coming up here, I’ll go to you!”
Happy snorted coldly, and like a gust of violent wind, he forced his way into the crowd.
At that moment, the Happy who destroyed Sky Demon Branch, Five Venoms’ Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, and two other Cla.s.s One Hall branches appeared once more.
*****
The fight had just started, and Cla.s.s One Hall had already lost dozens of people.
Happy used Wave-like Subtle Steps and Great Demonic World Destruction Art together, and he charged straight into the crowd with brute force, making him look like a large, tumbling dragon.
Wherever the large, black aquatic dragon traveled, it would mow down the people like a cannonball, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Many of the players watching from above shook their heads repeatedly.
“Cla.s.s One Hall is going to lose a lot of soldiers and generals this time.”
“They’ve already lost two branches, and they still want to take the initiative to fight against Happy outside, and they only brought this number of people with them…”
“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 s.p.a.ced 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.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
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 flas.h.i.+ng. 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 ident.i.ties at that moment.
“a.s.sa.s.sin Hall!”
“They’re people from a.s.sa.s.sin 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 astonis.h.i.+ng momentum, he could not help but be shocked.
“This is bad! It’s a.s.sa.s.sin Hall’s Fatal Flying Mace! How can this be?! Why would a.s.sa.s.sin 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 st.u.r.dy, and it’s difficult to destroy! Its damage is also astonis.h.i.+ng. 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!”
