Chapter 750: The Loud Bang in Yangzhou City
Thud!
At the moment Tang Gent’s body fell to the ground, Happy’s gaze had already turned incredibly cold. He readily executed his second wave of slaughter.
This time, the people from a.s.sa.s.sin Hall were no longer as calm as before.
At the moment the second group of people were killed, those from a.s.sa.s.sin Hall screamed in terror and fled in a flurry of motion.
But when it came to speed, it was clear that they cannot compare to Happy. More than half of them were killed once Happy caught up to them with his astonis.h.i.+ng speed before they could flee 328 feet away. Their corpses were strewn all over the forest.
When they turned around, the group of Mu Clan members had already killed the j.a.panese players and came back. “Boss Happy, one of them fled, and the other six are all killed.”
“Very good. I’ll leave first, you stay here and clean up the battlefield.”
When Happy walked among the corpses and loot, he treated them as nothing. He calmly said these words to his clan members, summoned Hoof Shadow, and gave another order. “Also, tell Thunderous Battle that he’s to immediately lock down the defense line and locate Tang Feng as well as the people from a.s.sa.s.sin Hall and kill them. Make sure that we keep them all to the south of Changjiang.”
His tone was firm, and there was no room for argument for it.
“Understood!” they answered to him in a group.
Everyone could tell that after the fight Happy went through just now, he was now determined to get rid of a.s.sa.s.sin Hall completely from the game.
*****
At the same time, the hundreds of a.s.sa.s.sin Hall members who guarded the Guanlin Temples near the city received a messenger pigeon from Tang Sect. They quickly put on disguises and left Guanlin Temple to flee in different directions.
But as Mu Clan’s branches received the order to chase down and kill a.s.sa.s.sin Hall, they worked together with the local sects to quickly form a huge end with no end in sight and chased a.s.sa.s.sin Hall for a long distance.
They will constantly be people who were killed at the cities in the south, and the one who received the most attention was naturally Tang Feng!
Even though his skills with hidden weapons were extraordinary, the “advantage” of being named by Happy for extra attention was that he just brought on his head the top ten elites from different branches.
He died repeatedly.
*****
When Cla.s.s One Hall received this news from hundreds of miles away, Dream Clouds was so shocked that she shattered a st.u.r.dy Chinese square table!
Silence fell in the room.
Barren Murderer did not say anything.
After some time, a battle replay of Happy going on a killing spree in the forest was uploaded.
In the battle replay, it can be seen that Happy’s sword technique had already reached an incredibly mysterious degree. He was as fast a lightning, and even though he did not have the support from Wind Spirit Spin, he could still kill swiftly, and it sent chills down the spines of all those who saw it.
“I’ve witnessed the power in Heavenly Lightning and Fire, and there should be no mistaking it. I wonder how Happy managed to live through it.” After a long time had pa.s.sed, Dream Clouds said something that caused Barren Murderer to be filled with a myriad of emotions.
“No matter what, hidden weapons are still just hidden weapons. They cannot be brought to light, especially those firearms made in the game. When have you ever heard of a matchless martial artist dying in the hands of the firearms in the game?” Barren Murderer’s words snapped Dream Clouds out of her dreams.
“Even I might be able to live under that sort of attack with Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft and Undying King of Abyss Art, much less Happy, who has Nine Yang Divine Skill but is also the first player to reach Moksha Realm. We don’t even know whether he has a Moksha Realm body fortification technique. If hidden weapons can get rid of the strongest in the game so easily, then Tang Sect will be in control of the game from now onwards!”
Dream Clouds said nothing. She frowned quietly and slowly returned to her seat.
For the first time, Dream Clouds was a little worried for the subsequent events that will occur after they turned completely hostile against Mu Clan. The process of them winning was not as smooth as she thought. Yangzhou was not the only one who did something to go up against them. Happy and Mu Clan also did a series of actions to fight back.
*****
The war continued in Yangzhou City.
As demonic sounds invaded the air, the enemies who were affected had their qi largely depleted. Grim Green, Vast Heaven, and the rest were caught in a situation where their bodies could not supply them with enough qi. After a few rounds of arrow showers from the rood, the Towering Palace members at the backyard could not retain a steady foothold over there. They were forced to retreat, and in the end, Mu Clan managed to control the situation once more.
Mu Clan was also still able to retain the upperhand in the other directions. Without the lead from Dragon Sect elites or elites at the level of Vast Heaven and Grim Green, the other people were completely unable to have the decisive power to break Mu Clan’s defense line.
They did not manage to take down Mu Clan even after fighting for a long time, and their number of casualties just kept increasing. This caused Clear Music, who had originally been very excited, to gradually have her excitement die down until her heart plummeted to the depths.
After a few hours had pa.s.sed, fewer than five hundred people died in Mu Clan’s branch.
But Towering Palace already had more than four thousand of their own die, and among them were some of their elites and aces!
The insane ratio of casualties as well as the bad news that came frequently from the cities at the south of the coastal area caused Clear Music to have an increasingly urgent desire to destroy Mu Clan’s branch as well as Silver Wolf and the rest of his group.
The cities in the south of the coastal area were devoured by the power led by Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, and Wind and Rain Alliance. They had lost nearly ten thousand people, and the resources they lost were worth more than one billion. Not only had they lost all their resource points and lost control over the situation, a batch of Towering Palace members in the cities at the south of the coastal area had also left. The others were currently lost and did not know what to do.
If they could not destroy Mu Clan’s branch in time and seize the chance to march west to enter the center of the plains in China, the war will end up with Towering Palace losing half of their territory, and they will be saying goodbye to their status as a top-cla.s.s sect.
This sort of ending was something Clear Music and Towering Palace cannot accept.
*****
Mu Clan’s branch seemed to have turned into a tough bone that was very hard to chew and swallow. Towering Palace and Cla.s.s One Hall had fought against them for a few rounds, and the losses they suffered were great, but even so, they did not manage to largely reduce Mu Clan’s defensive power.
The sky was almost bright now.
Towering Palace’s morale was slightly slow, and they became restless.
They had more or less gotten to know about the situation of their palace’s branches at the south of the coastal area.
Compared to Mu Clan’s actions, Towering Palace’s large-scale attack had not even allowed them to take down even one of Mu Clan’s branches.
But when Mu Clan attacked, they managed to get rid of all Towering Palace’s forces at the south of the coastal area.
Many people could not help but begin suspecting whether it was a smart move to work with Cla.s.s One Hall and declare war on Mu Clan.
*****
“The people’s minds are becoming unsteady and uneasy. Palace master, if this continues, we won’t be the ones bringing down Mu Clan’s branch with the encirclement, but we’ll be destroyed by rumors.” After that one whole night, Shangguan Lian already looked a little older.
They had no results whatsoever from the ambushes.
Even Hai Dongqing, who had always been optimistic, had not smiled for a long time. He sighed nonstop while there was a frown on his face.
Some people might still be caught up by the thought of attacking Mu Clan’s branch through an encirclement, but quite a number of people had already thought about what will happen in the future based on how tough this branch was.
If a single branch from Mu Clan was already this strong, when war truly broke out, can Towering Palace truly stand up as their enemy?
If they changed their positions and Mu Clan was the one who surrounded Towering Palace, will Towering Palace be able to withstand the attacks as beautifully as they did.
A lot of people began to have a bad feeling about the future.
*****
But all of their uneasiness was gone as a messenger from Cla.s.s One Hall came over and said a few words to Clear Music. Clear Music suddenly had the dejected look on her face disappearing, and she was in high spirits once more as she sent a few orders in sequence.
Tens of thousands of people from Towering Palace started moving in an instant. Even the remaining people from Cla.s.s One Hall moved.
Those ten or so remaining Dragon Sect elites also entered the front lines and were prepared for battle.
Most of them were all gathered at the backyard, where the walls had collapsed and the defensive power over there was slightly weaker.
*****
One minute later, all of the players in Yangzhou City heard an explosion that shook their hearts!
Boom!
Everyone looked toward Mu Clan’s direction in shock.
