  "They're a sect which has recently risen to power, and I heard that they have quite a lot of members. They're showing signs of surpassing Dragon Tiger Sect." Eastern Green Gate understood the changes in Gusu City the most in their group. Hence, he updated Happy of the situation.

  Happy nodded slightly as a sign that he understood.

  "Are you here for revenge?"

  The four people in white's expressions changed, and the wary looks on their faces became obvious.

  "Notify the others!"

  They revealed everything with just one sentence, and Happy became certain that this group did indeed have the intention to sweep this place clear of other players and monopolize the resources. They had killed quite a large number of people to achieve that. The warmth in Happy's eyes instantly disappeared. He swept his gaze over the four people, and a disdainful look appeared on his face.

  "Tell your boss that I'm going to take down all the Great Wolves here today. All of you from Heaven Domination Sect are to leave within ten breaths. If you don't… then I will kill all of you without exception."

  "Oh? How dare you!"

  One of the people in white across from them had a cold smile on his face. It was clear that he had been angered. Before the person beside him could open his mouth to stop him, a shocking cold glare shone from the hands of the blue-robed young man.

  Bang!

  The rude person was sent flying by a strong force and crashed into a tree. There was a throwing knife in his c.h.e.s.t, buried up to the hilt. The man's eyes were wide open, but he had already breathed his last.

  The other three people had already drawn their swords, but they froze with astonishment on their faces.

  Even though they had long since heard that the Blue-robed Noble Sword User was the strongest player in Gusu City, only a few of them had truly witnessed his strength before.

  Right then, when Happy attacked, his actions had shocked them!

  He ignored the surprised and enraged looks on the faces of the three people in white. He lowered his head, as if there was no one beside him, and gently flicked off a speck of dust from his sleeve before he said, "I might sound arrogant, but I have power. Just like how it is reasonable for you to kill others to open a path for yourselves, it's also logical for me to occupy this land and claim myself as king of this territory. You just need to send your word. The decision lies in your leader's hands."

  The three people in white looked at each other.

  "Fine, just you wait!"

  One of them turned around and ran backwards.

  When he saw this, Happy could not help the shock in his heart. 'Could it be that the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect is among the group of people attacking the Great Wolf right now?'

  At that moment, the commotion had already alerted the group farther away. Some of them slowed down their attacks and removed themselves from the group.

  When Lin Xuanfeng died, Leader Lin immediately received his cousin's message and his tearful complaint. When he saw the contents in the letter and Happy and his group not too far in the distance, his gaze instantly darkened.

  "Get all of our people here."

  "Leader Lin?"

  When the messenger saw this, he knew that Leader Lin had decided to kill Happy and his group. He was shocked and afraid. "You have just arrived in Gusu City, so you might not know, but he is Happy, the strongest player in Gusu City—"

  Leader Lin did not seem to have heard the advice from his sect member. His tone became incredibly cold.

  "Didn't you hear me?"

  Dragon Tiger Sect had lost to Happy. There was no way he would not know about such important information. However, the situation right now was different. Dragon Tiger Sect had only sent four people to attack him at that time, but Leader Lin had mobilized around forty people in the forest around Cold Mountain Temple to make sure that he could seize the spawning point of the Great Wolves with absolute certainty.

  He refused to believe that a player who had just reached Gate Realm could remain arrogant while surrounded by many enemies.

  The order was swiftly sent to the ears of all the sect members of Heaven Domination Sect. Once they knew that they were going up against the Blue-robed Noble Sword User, they were both happy and worried…

  Dragon Tiger Sect's example still rang loud and clear in Gusu City, and yet, right then, Leader Lin wanted to kill Happy. If they ended up the same as Dragon Tiger Sect and offended Gusu City's strongest player, Heaven Domination Sect's future would be in peril.

  However, there were also some who were enthusiastic. They believed that if they could use the chance to kill Happy, Heaven Domination Sect's prestige would definitely surpass that of Dragon Tiger Sect, and they would become Gusu City's strongest sect.

  For a period of time, the sounds of sleeves fluttering in the wind could be heard without end in the depths of the forest. The constant sounds of footsteps also gathered swiftly in one place!

  Happy did not say a thing. The abnormal atmosphere in the forest and the answer that Heaven Domination Sect refused to give made him and his group realize what it was. Their expressions became grave.

  Happy's gaze turned cold. Right in front of the group of people in white, he brought out his Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks from his Universe Bag. It exuded a faint cold chill.

  Chapter 78 - Slaughter

  "What?!" The sect master of Dragon Tiger Sect had received his sect members' message through the messenger pigeon while he was at Black Wind Mountain. He was so angry that he squashed the paper into a ball right on the spot. "They're just one measly Heaven Domination Sect. How dare they touch our people!"

  He made his decision on the spot and gave his order in anger. "All of you are involved! Come down with me! We're going to kill them!

  "Long Meng!"

  When he heard his sect master call to him, Long Meng, who was now a vice sect master again, quickly went to stand before Inquire the Dragon to receive his orders.

  "Mobilize our men immediately! We'll gather at the foot of Cold Mountain Temple!" Even though he was angry, Inquire the Dragon was not so agitated that he would immediately have his men head into the depths of Cold Mountain Temple.

  "Understood!"

  Long Meng's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly to voice his obedience. He knew that the time for Dragon Tiger Sect to rebuild their prestige had come!

  He picked a group of people without hesitation and had them write rows upon rows of letters that contained the simplified order of their sect master. The messenger pigeons' wings fluttered, and they flew into the sky to spread through the area around Black Wind Mountain.

  In moments, the Dragon Tiger Sect members scattered all around Gusu City received the messages from their fellow sect brothers. They immediately stopped whatever task they had at hand. Those who needed to return to the city went back, and those who could go out of the city straightaway went out. For a period of time, they moved like rolling waves. Endless Dragon Tiger Sect members appeared at the city gate. Many people had already figured out that something had happened and were secretly apprehensive.

  The other sects in Gusu City sent news of this to their other sect members.

  Soon, many people came to learn that Dragon Tiger Sect was about to engage in a fight to the death with Heaven Domination Sect.

  "When two tigers fight, there is a high possibility that both will be injured greatly. Ignore them."

  The other sect masters knew that this was their greatest chance for development. The two greatest sects in Gusu City were about to fight. Regardless of who would die, both would inevitably be injured. At that time, when the foundations of both sects were shaken, it would be the time for the other sects to show their might.

  Of course, there were quite a number of people who just wanted to watch the show.

  *****

  A devastating battle had already begun in the depths of the forest.

  "AH—"

  "Surround him!"

  "You idio
t! Don't let him escape!"

  The roars of Heaven Domination Sect members rose and fell. Dozens of white-robed people formed a huge encirclement in the forest. They surrounded Happy and his group, but an agile figure jumped high in the air before it fell. Cold glares appeared and sliced through the dark forest. Whenever they appeared, they took away one or two white-robed people without a sound.

  In less than half a minute, there were already fourteen players lying either dead or heavily injured. All of them had been struck by throwing knives.

  Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and Azure Wolf had their backs against a huge tree while withstanding the attacks from seven players who were at the outermost layer of the encirclement. They had quite a lot of wounds on their bodies, but they continued to defend themselves and held on tenaciously. For the time being, their lives were not in danger.

  "Attack!"

  When he saw that the number of corpses on the ground was increasing by the moment, Leader Lin was so angry that his face turned red. They had not even managed to touch Happy's sleeve, and around ten of his sect members had already died. How was he supposed to provide an explanation for this later?

  But there was still a simple logic that he understood!

  Happy had to fight frequently, and he had to use lancet knives as well, along with using lightness skills. It would be impossible for him to last for a long time with just the qi in Gate Realm. Since things had already progressed to this point, they could only grit their teeth and continue. They had to make Happy run out of qi, and at that time, they would kill him once and for all!

  However, if Leader Lin had seen one tiny detail, which revealed what Happy had done before he used his lightness skill, he would not have made his decision so easily.

  As a veteran, Happy knew his own limitations. Hence, every single time he attacked, he would immediately eat a medicinal tablet to replenish some of his qi. Like that, he would recover slowly.

  As his qi replenished bit by bit, even after Happy threw dozens of lancet knives, he did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, because of his familiarity with this method, he became increasingly refreshed. The speed at which he attacked became faster, and he became more capable of manipulating the angle of his attacks. He gave off the air of being at ease.

  Even though quite a number of Heaven Domination Sect members had practiced lightness skills, it was clear that no one among them had the patience to practice their qi cultivation technique and lightness skill together for a few consecutive days. Even their best could not keep up with Happy's rhythm and footwork.

  During the beginning of the battle, quite a number of people did not notice this, but as more of their fellow sect brothers died, some of them could not help but be afraid. When they chased after Happy, they felt like they had turned into loyal moving targets whose sole purpose was to provide entertainment for him.

  When they looked at the trail of corpses left behind here and there, they found that there were around thirty of them already!

  The people's expression instantly turned incredibly sour, and the idea of retreating rose in their hearts.

  Happy stopped in a timely manner. He swept his gaze over the dozens of people behind him, and his lips curled up slightly to reveal a barely noticeable smile.

  He patted his waist, and two cold glares appeared swiftly.

  "Urk!"

  The two Heaven Domination Sect members who were in the middle of the group grunted and cried out in pain before they flew out from their group. They crashed into the path of corpses behind them.

  The group of people instantly felt chills down their spine!

  "Hide!"

  No one knew who had shouted, but the group of people acted like frightened birds. They ran into the forest in different directions at the same time.

  Both Eastern Green Gate and Whirlwind Young Li were already in Gate Realm, and each of them had a martial art in Grandmaster Realm. While it was rather difficult for them to fight against two people alone, they could still defend themselves.

  But Azure Wolf was in a more miserable state. He was still currently working in a shop, and he only practiced the martial arts he bought from the sundry shop. His greatest sword technique had just reached the tenth realm. He already had no fewer than twenty wounds, which left him heavily wounded. He looked incredibly pathetic.

  Yet even so, Azure Wolf gritted his teeth and persevered. He fought against the two people in front of him and did not let Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate face even more threats.

  The people in Heaven Domination Sect were incredibly frustrated.

  They had seven players in Gate Realm attacking the trio, but even though they had fought for such a long time, they still could not kill three nameless players?

  "Kill the one on the left first!"

  No one knew whether it was because he had lost contact with the others for too long, but Leader Lin, who had stood by the side and not done anything since the start, frowned and became slightly uneasy. He moved to this side and gave an order. The person he pointed at was Azure Wolf, who was in great trouble.

  As one of the eight leaders of Heaven Domination Sect, Leader Lin had some extraordinary skills. Right when he appeared, he executed a Sword Throwing Style. When Azure Wolf had just executed an attack and had no way of defending himself, he destroyed Azure Wolf's defence with one move. He pierced Azure Wolf's shoulder and pinned him ruthlessly against the tree trunk behind him. His blood flowed, and it became very difficult for him to move.

  Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate's expressions changed drastically!

  They changed their attacks, and at the risk of their themselves, they forced away the outermost people surrounding them and flanked Azure Wolf to protect him.

  "Go! Don't bother about me!"

  "As if!"

  "Young Whirlwind, Eastern Gate, go! Remember to tell Senior Brother Happy to take revenge for me!" Azure Wolf's face was full of determination. He used his hand to push Young Li away while he roared, "And don't forget to kill that one with the long beard to the left! Damn him! He stabbed me fourteen times! I'm going to remember you forever! Also, kill that crafty guy with the slanting eyes!"

  But Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate did not move. Azure Wolf had fought together with them, so how could they abandon their brother now?

  The white-robed man with the beard was stunned speechless when he heard Azure Wolf's words. An awkward look appeared on his face, and he touched his chin. 'Long beard? My beard isn't that long.'

  While the group could not decide whether they should kill them, Leader Lin's cold voice reached their ears.

  "Why are you still standing around daydreaming?! Kill them! Don't let a single one of them—!"

  But before he could finish the words that decided the fate of the trio…

  The sound of sleeves fluttering in the forest swiftly approached them, and an enraged blue-robed teenager landed gracefully in front of Leader Lin.

  When they saw Happy arrive in time, the trio's tense expressions vanished, and crazed happiness bloomed on their faces.

  Chapter 79 - Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks

  "What did you do to my men?!"

  When they saw Happy return alone in a leisurely manner, the expressions of Leader Lin and the other seven Heaven Domination Sect member changed swiftly. They turned their heads to look from where Happy had come, but they did not see anyone else, and uneasiness seeped into their hearts.

  Happy naturally understood what they longed to see, and he smiled coldly before he said, "You don't have to look anymore. They're not coming."

  Leader Lin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked in a dark tone, "What do you mean…"

  Yet even though he said those words, the people in the area—including the people from Heaven Domination Sect—could already tell that those who had gone after Happy were already died.

  Happy did not provide any additional explanations. He just took two steps forward w
ith an indifferent expression.

  The invisible pressure made Leader Lin, who had a very imposing presence moments ago, to be unable to resist moving back. The feeling of losing his advantage, which he had never experienced before, made him not have the courage to even look Happy in the eye. He gulped laboriously and said a few empty threats with a dry mouth.

  "If you offend Heaven Domination Sect, you will suffer!" As he spoke, he quickly sent a signal to the other seven people through his eyes.

  They instantly understood what he meant, and they put on savage expressions again.

  "Will I?"

  Happy looked as if he had eyes on his back and flicked his right wrist.

  "Ah!"

  A Heaven Domination Sect member who tried to attack Azure Wolf at that moment cried out in pain. His sword-wielding hand was pierced through by a throwing knife, and it bled profusely. His weapon fell on the ground powerlessly.

  The others had intended to attack as well, but their d.e.s.i.r.e to do so instantly diminished. They stared at the injured person and Happy with pale faces and shocked expressions. They did not dare make any rash moves anymore.

  Aside from held back m.o.a.ns in the forest, the only other sound was from Happy, who spoke with his usual calm tone, as if nothing had happened. He stood in front of Leader Lin like an old friend.

  He knew that Happy was about to attack him!

  'I have to give it my all!'

  Leader Lin gritted his teeth and immediately shouted. A shortsword appeared from his sleeve with a spin. It shone with a terrifying glare that looked like the glint in a venomous snake's eyes, and it went straight to the powerful enemy before him.

  "Hmm?"

  At the same time he let out a surprised gasp, Happy used his hand to grab the black shortsword.

  When Leader Lin saw this, he was ecstatic.

  He had used the secret technique of Bloody Clothes Sect—Red Spot. The lethality of it if it was executed at close distance was astonishing, and if it struck a person's vital spot, that person would die straight away with only a red spot on the corpse. It was exactly what Leader Lin wished for when Happy did not dodge the attack and even went up to receive it!
