"You're just asking for death!"
He gritted his teeth and used his full power to execute the attack.
Instead, Happy seized his black shortsword, and with a pull and tug, all of Leader Lin's strength instantly landed on nothing. And he could not make his shortsword budge even an inch.
"Save Leader Lin!"
"Kill him!"
At that moment, the Heaven Domination Sect members pounced on Happy from behind him. Happy was surrounded.
"Careful!"
Eastern Green Gate and Whirlwind Young Li quickly warned him.
"Perfect timing."
Happy smiled calmly. He moved in the Eight Trigrams Steps, and his palms, which gave off a cold chill, were like a pair of sturdy but nimble hands made of jade. He easily dragged the stunned and surprised Leader Lin to his side, and with a backhand, struck his back.
Thud!
The attack just then was a very normal Warrior Monk's Hand Flip, which was an attack from Shaolin's Long Fist. Normally, it should not deal such great damage to Leader Lin, who had already activated his qi realm and was equipped with the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set.
However, Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks was a high-grade masterpiece that was worth one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. It increased Happy's damage by 380 points, his speed by 10%, and had freezing true qi (which could affect his enemy's attack speed). Its damage was equal to Shaolin's Long Fist in Grandmaster Realm. Right then, even if he had to face Orochimaru's Reverse Dual Swordplay head on, Happy had complete confidence that he would not be at a disadvantage!
There was no way Leader Lin could withstand his attack with the bit of defense he had.
"Leader!"
"Leader!"
"Are you alright?"
The Heaven Domination Sect members caught Leader Lin in a flurry of motion, and apprehension appeared on their faces.
They knew Leader Lin's strength very well. He could take a few attacks from a powerful Great Wolf without retreating, yet now, he could not even take one attack from Happy.
"Blue-robed Noble Sword User, you live up to your name. Cough… Cough…"
"It's already too late for you to say those things."
Happy did not have any intention to continue delaying the fight and cast Leader Lin a scornful look.
"Attack him! Hold him back!" Leader Lin's expression changed, and he quickly ordered the people beside him. "The sect master has already brought people over! He won't be able to run!"
But before he could finish speaking…
"Hmph."
A cold snort reached his ears, and the two people who supported him felt as if they had been struck by a large hammer at full force. Their feet left the ground, and they flew backwards. There was a throwing knife in each of their c.h.e.s.ts, and it was clear that they would not survive.
Leader Lin s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath. When he looked up, he saw that Happy had moved in front of him like a phantom while there were still four people flanking him!
Leader Lin was deeply injured. He could not react in time and could only watch Happy execute a normal palm strike without any flourish right against his c.h.e.s.t. Leader Lin trembled, and his c.h.e.s.t caved in. He was sent flying again. At the same time, the people in the area heard an incredibly clear and piercing sound of bone breaking.
No one knew whether Leader Lin survived the attack.
Happy went behind the two to his right. While avoiding the attacks from the two people to his left, he grabbed the blade and sword that came slashing at him without any hesitation.
Normal weapons would not be able to cause any damage to Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks. The wielders of the normal weapons only felt a great power charge toward them through their weapons, and the strength they placed in their weapons instantly crumbled. They were even dragged forward and lost their balance.
Happy's gaze was calm. He let go and moved between the two while forming the shape of claws with his hands!
Black Tiger Tears Throats!
"Urk!"
He tore at the two men without any hesitation. Two puffs of blood mist gushed into the air, and their corpses fell slowly behind Happy.
"Run!"
The other two people were greatly astonished, and they turned around to run.
With a tap against the ground, Happy rose into the sky.
His Cloud Treading Step was at Grandmaster Realm. There was no way he would let them run.
"Let's split up!"
Right when the two people from Heaven Domination Sect thought of this, a person descended from the sky, and before they could even say anything more to each other, they saw that figure land in the space between the two of them like a loach. Then, they felt a pain in their necks, and they knew nothing else.
Happy killed the two with a knifehand strike. By then, aside from the person with the long beard who had lost his fighting ability when his hand was pinned to a tree, all the people in Heaven Domination Sect had died.
This bearded man had wanted to run when Leader Lin lost his life, but Azure Wolf, Eastern Green Gate, and Whirlwind Young Li kept a close eye on him like hungry tigers. He could not leave. Right then, when he saw Azure Wolf put on a mocking smile, his face instantly turned as pale as ash.
Chapter 80 - Fight a Great Wolf Alone
With his own power, Happy had killed more than forty people from Heaven Domination Sect, and that included one of their leaders. This news soon reached the ears of Heaven Domination Sect's sect master.
Mighty Tyrant was very depressed.
When he received the notification, the group that ventured out of the city had run into Dragon Tiger Sect's mobilized forces. The large group of people gave off a very aggressive presence. They gathered at the foot of Cold Mountain Temple, and the people from Heaven Domination Sect did not dare approach the area during that period of time.
As for Dragon Tiger Sect, since Heaven Domination Sect had willfully killed their people, their d.e.s.i.r.e for revenge was great, and hence, they were very alert for those who were from Heaven Domination Sect. During their way to Cold Mountain Forest, they killed more than twenty players.
Mighty Tyrant could only stay in the city.
With Dragon Tiger Sect holding them up, Mighty Tyrant could not provide reinforcements to Leader Lin and his group, and he could only watch as Leader Lin and his group were slaughtered by Happy. Instead, he had to continue mobilizing his forces to handle Dragon Tiger Sect's mobilization.
"Blue-robed Noble Sword User…" While standing outside the city, Mighty Tyrant gritted his teeth. "This brat named Happy does indeed have some abilities."
This time, he had truly miscalculated.
He had intended to use this chance to fight against Dragon Tiger Sect, which was why so many members in Gate Realm had been sent to Cold Mountain Temple to guard the spawning point of the Great Wolves. Then, they could work together with their people in the city to launch a pincer attack on Dragon Tiger Sect after they ventured into the depths of the forest.
However, he did not expect that Happy would enter the forest right then!
And they had also grossly miscalculated this murderer's strength. Only a few of the fifty or so powerful players had escaped by a stroke of luck. Their army was in disarray, and the people in the city were intimidated by the people of Dragon Tiger Sect into not daring to leave the city. Their plan had been upset, and Mighty Tyrant was livid…
"Sect master, are we still going out?"
"Let's observe a little further before we discuss this matter again."
Mighty Tyrant scowled. He did not dare have the men gathered at the city gate leave.
More than forty people had died in the forest, and their abilities had been greatly reduced. They had lost half of their money and 20% of their qi realm. This meant that they would be in an injured state for a month. Even if they were resurrected, they would only be around the level of a normal new player. If they went to fight against Dragon Tiger Sect in thi
s situation, it would obviously be an incredibly foolish decision.
Mighty Tyrant thought for a moment before giving a command.
"Yes!"
A few players who had not entered Gate Realm swiftly left the city and chased after Dragon Tiger Sect's group. They marched forward with the momentum of a mighty wave to head into the depths of the forest around Cold Wind Mountain.
At this moment, the people from Dragon Tiger Sect still did not know that the murderers who killed their people had already left the forest. As of then, only Happy and his group occupied the Great Wolf's spawn point.
*****
Once he got rid of the group from Heaven Domination Sect, Happy checked his inventory and found that the battle had been rather harmful to him.
Even though he was physically unharmed, the drop rate from normal players was very low, and only a limited range of items could drop. He had killed more than forty people, but only took a total of eight medicinal tablets!
One medicinal tablet was one hundred taels of silver crumbs, which meant that he spent eight hundred taels of silver crumbs
Happy was now running out of money, so eight hundred taels of silver crumbs was quite a huge sum. At that moment, he could no longer care about Heaven Domination Sect's reaction. He quickly went into the forest to search for Great Wolves.
Time was short. He had to hurry and earn some money to wander about the land!
Before this, they had dealt with Dragon Tiger Sect. Now, they dealt with Heaven Domination Sect, and Happy had even killed more than forty people in one go. They could not understand why Happy could act as if nothing had happened. Was he not worried that Heaven Domination Sect would mobilize all their forces to kill them? Even though Happy had shown extraordinary abilities, no matter how they looked at the situation, it would still be dangerous if they had to go up against an entire sect.
"Don't worry." Happy ran ahead of them and explained, "Judging by the time, it'll be nighttime in less than an hour. Once night falls, this place will be my territory. As long as the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect doesn't have a screw loose in his head, he won't come to cause us trouble for the time being. It should be enough time for us to gather wolf pelts."
The trio was at a loss for words. They looked at each other. If they wanted to carry out their operation safely in this place, they would have to rely on the possibility that all the screws in the head of the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect were tightly screwed.
In less than two minutes, Happy and the group saw a pair of huge eyes sparkling with an eerie, green glow in the forest.
The four of them came to a swift stop!
Immediately after, the owner of the green eyes walked forward leisurely, as if it were a hunter who had spotted its prey in a trap. It walked out of the dark depths of the forest in a very relaxed manner, and there was a faint, chilly look in its indifferent gaze that also held contempt. The creature swept its gaze over the four puny little things ahead of it while looking down on them.
Compared to A.d.u.l.t Wolves, Great Wolves had exceptional physical advantages. While on all fours, they had bodies that were the height of a.d.u.l.t men and were more than 16 feet long. Their presence of fearsome beasts was incredibly great, and it could be detected throughout the entire area. Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and Azure Wolf's breathing instantly became much more labored.
'So tall!
'So big!'
The wolf's presence alone was enough to intimidate them. They were struck by the feeling that they did not know how to handle this creature.
"Hold the line for me. I'll handle it."
Happy knew that a Great Wolf in Blessed Realm would still be difficult for the trio, who had just entered Blessed Realm recently. He brought out his Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks and moved forward slowly.
One step, two steps…
His footsteps were calm, and his gaze lively. His fighting spirit raged!
Soon, the Great Wolf's gaze was entirely fixed on Happy.
The instinct unique to wild beasts told it that the human before it was unlike the people it had dealt with previously. He might appear weak, but he did not show a single hint of fear.
"Howl!"
Whoosh!
The huge body moved like a black bolt of lightning through the air. It pounced on Happy in an arc, and it was so fast that it was even faster than the chief bandit from Balck Wind Mountain.
Whirlwind Young Li and the others were instantly shocked.
Each of the wild beast's hunting moves were practiced repeatedly until they mastered them. In fact, some of those moves were the models and teachers for certain martial arts. Hence, it was not wrong to say that the attack speed of a Great Wolf in Blessed Realm surpassed the attack speed of the chief bandit from Black Wind Mountain.
Happy put on a grave expression.
Even though he had the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks with him, he was not foolish enough to use his physical body to take on the Great Wolf's claws.
With the Great Wolf's damage, it would be hard for even Happy to withstand three claw attacks when they were executed at full strength. He activated Cloud Treading Step, and once he straightened his body, he landed two feet away from the Great Wolf, avoiding the full-power attack just in time.
Happy did not let the Great Wolf pounce on him again. Right after he landed, he tapped against the ground at an even faster speed and went to the Great Wolf's side like a whirlwind.
The beast had a great body, which would make it very difficult to throw it if he wanted to use the same fighting strategy as with the Wild Wolves. Thus, Happy could only attack with brute strength.
Vitals were the body's acupressure points and joints. Once they were struck, the Great Wolf's strength would be reduced in a very obvious manner. However, if he attacked blindly, he would just be like the players from before—they could only kill one Great Wolf after fighting it for a long time in a large group.
Right then, Happy changed the momentum of his fist, and his whole presence changed!
A clear black aura enveloped Happy's hands, and it swiftly wrapped around the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks. With a profound and rich aura, Happy struck the Great Wolf's body like a furious tiger charging down the mountains.
Thud!
The sound was heavy and loud! The Great Wolf howled in pain, and its giant body was forced two feet back! Four sets of deep claw marks were left on the ground, and incredulity, surprise, and anger showed up in the creature's eyes.
Chapter 81 - Dragon Tiger Sect Retreats
The Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks was a high-grade masterpiece, and the craftsman who had made it was pleased with the result. Not only was the glove itself capable of increasing the lethality of Shaolin's Long Fist in Grandmaster Realm, it could also increase speed by 10% and had freezing true qi as an effect. When Happy executed Black Tiger Fist, which was much more lethal than Shaolin's Long Fist, its effects did not lose to the power contained within high-tier fist techniques.
The Great Wolf winced in pain, and its claws missed. It only struck the spot by Happy's feet.
Bang!
Dirt and stone flew into the air, and a huge claw mark appeared on the ground.
"How fast…"
Happy looked away, but he was apprehensive. If it were not for the fact that his Cloud Treading Steps had already reached Grandmaster Realm, he might already have a few claw marks on his body. As expected of a savage beast in Blessed Realm!
However, Happy was terrified of the Great Wolf's speed. With the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks, his power was equal to that of a powerful fighter in Blessed Realm. With such strength, there was no way he would have no method to fight a Great Wolf.
Happy clearly knew that the Great Wolf would pause for a moment after each of its attacks. During the moment it moved back, Happy tapped against the ground and arrived in front of the beast at an even faster speed. He was so fast that Eastern Eastern Gate, Whirlwi
nd Young Li, and Azure Wolf did not notice when he moved.
At that moment, the Great Wolf had just retracted its claws and had not yet gathered its power for a new attack!
Black Tiger Steals Heart!
The Great Wolf's waist was heavily wounded, and the beast froze for a moment. Even though its limbs were all on the ground and its claws had sank deep into the earth, the force of the attack had been so great that it was pushed back again. It turned its head to the side in pain, and the red in its eyes became even more prominent.
"Careful!"
The wind whistled, and the Great Wolf's claws missed their target again. Happy moved like a viverrid. He tumbled and jumped several feet, and with a turn, he landed on the branch of a tree that was twenty feet tall. Then, he tapped against the trunk and shot down like a cannonball toward the Great Wolf.
Roar!
There was black aura around his fist and a barely audible tiger's roar that could be heard when he punched outward. It hit the Great Wolf's head, and the beast looked as if it had been hit by a bolt of lightning. Its head turned to the side in a very unnatural manner, and the momentum dragged its huge body to perform a half turn. Blood gushed into the air, and the wolf slammed into the ground violently.
This scene was witnessed by a group of people who had walked out of the dark forest. The consecutive sharp intakes of breath and the sound of people coming to a stop alerted Eastern Green Gate, Whirlwind Young Li, and Azure Wolf, who were watching the fight.
"Who is it?!"
"Don't-Don't misunderstand."
The person who had walked out of the forest was someone they knew—Dragon Tiger Sect's vice sect master, Long Meng! He had a slightly panicked, awkward, and bashful smile on his face. He stared at the Great Wolf who was sent rolling away, unable to hide the shock and fear in his eyes.
