"Child's Heart!" Musical Note also noticed the man who positioned his flute horizontally over his c.h.e.s.t. She was slightly shocked.
'This is bad!'
She watched in surprise as Child's Heart landed on the wall, pursed his lips, and began to blow into the flute.
The notes from the flute were like a signal for Class One Hall. Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows attacked at the same time.
"Brother Happy, be careful!"
Lin Xiao was completely fine when he heard the flute, and he immediately came to realize that Class One Hall had switched their target to Happy, who did not have any armor on. Along with Wind Void, he protected Happy from the sides.
Right when Happy's mind sank into a temporary daze, the flute notes came to an abrupt halt, and his eyes became clear again.
Many people were stunned by that. They turned their heads around to look, and they were just in time to see a sword protruding out of Child's Heart's c.h.e.s.t. A person kicked down Child's Heart corpse from the wall into the courtyard and tore off his human skin mask to reveal a middle-aged man's smiling and cynical face.
"Hey, Class One Hall brats, your thieving uncle is here!"
Zhou Yu was filled with anger, and Blood Robes gritted his teeth in exasperation.
"All-powerful Medicinal Stone!"
But it was clearly not the time to take revenge for Child's Heart. Happy, Wind Void, and Lin Xiao forced their way into the crowd of Class One Hall members, and they did it as easily as a hot knife cutting into butter. If none of the leaders received their attacks, there was no way the other Class One Hall members could withstand the charge from the three powerful players.
They braced themselves and engaged in a fierce fight!
Blood Robes gave one order after another. "Evil Wolf, Monk, take care of Lin Xiao! Zhou Yu, I'll hold Happy back. You take care of Wind Void."
Even though Zhou Yu had always been treated by Class One Hall as the person who would be used to handle Happy ever since he joined them, they were in an emergency and had to finish the fight as quickly as possible.
Zhou Yu's abilities were about the same as Happy's, while Wind Void was not someone Blood Robes could handle alone. Lin Xiao was incredibly tenacious, and Eternal Peace County was in Jiangnan. Once the Chivalry Sect members reacted to the situation and sent reinforcements, the matter would become difficult for them to handle.
Zhou Yu, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows all understood this. Without a word, they all went up against their assigned opponents!
Happy moved.
He did not intend to allow Class One Hall smoothly execute any strategy that would allow them to defeat his side, but once he heard Blood Robes volunteering to go up against him, a cold glare shone in his eyes.
"You refused to take the easy path, and when there is no difficult path to take, you insisted on coming over. Very well, today, I'll push forward my plans to settle a debt with you. I will take revenge for my friends in Beautiful Robes Faction."
"Brother Solitary, help me fight against Happy!"
When he noticed that the momentum of Happy's sword had changed, Blood Robes felt a chill down his spine for some reason, and he quickly called out for help.
But unfortunately for him, Solitary Perpetual Joy was not someone simple-minded. He had personally brought the elites of his sect to help Class One Hall because Class One Hall was willing to give up one rather good resource point for his sect and because he thought long and hard about how Class One Hall handled matters. He was also tasked to escort Blood Robes to the south.
However, he did not answer Blood Robes when asked to go up against a fiend like Happy head-on. He hid himself in the crowd and criticized Blood Robes in his heart, 'You think I'm dumb or something?'
The six Class One Hall members who had jumped out earlier were not at all inferior to Solitary Perpetual Joy, and Blood Robes wanted to poke Perpetual Joy Sect full of holes by asking him to fight against Happy? There was no way he would do something like that!
Chapter 443 - Kill with the Sword!
The spear moved like a silver dragon tumbling around the sea and stirring up waves to strike the shore.
Around the silver dragon was a pair of Mandarin Duck Sabers that flew about like butterflies. They were sometimes close and sometimes far away. They let out a piercing shrill that tore through the air, and the tri-colored glare continuously tore through the silver dragon.
Whenever Zhou Yu pulled himself together, his attack would immediately be cut down by two fatal "butterflies". They promised that they would tear him apart if he approached them.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
There were butterflies flying all over the place.
The powerful dragon-shaped qi that tumbled about fiercely would occasionally clash against the butterflies head-on, and a strong gust of wind would surge into the air!
The ferocious wind practically covered the tall tower. The other Class One Hall members might have wanted to approach to provide reinforcements, but they could not get close to two Life and Death Realm players with Grandmaster Realm martial arts fighting fiercely against each other.
"Not bad, Chivalry Sect Master! Take this!"
Once the two had exchanged dozens of blows, they had come to understand each other's strength. Zhou Yu suddenly pulled back his spear and seized the chance when the butterflies shot past him to tap against the ground. He went toward Wind Void at the speed of lightning and spun his silver spear repeatedly.
It looked like balls of coiled up silver dragons pushed aside the Mandarin Duck Sabers that came flying at him. Those dragons then flew toward Wind Void. At that moment, the domineering nature of spear techniques that stood above many of the martial arts was displayed at its fullest.
When Wind Void noticed that, it was already too late. She quickly widened the distance between them, but it was impossible for her to avoid the coiled silver dragon that came charging at her with a howl. During the critical moment, she tugged her threads, and the sabers intersected with each other before they landed in her hands.
Boom!
She might have used the sabers to parry the silver spear, but the ruthless damage contained within the attack had landed on her. She crashed into a group of Class One Hall members like a missile from an anti-aircraft gun.
"This is a good chance! Kill her!"
The Class One Hall members were overjoyed.
But Wind Void was the sect master of Chivalry Sect not without a reason. Her equipment might not be as good as Happy's, but she had quite a lot of supreme grade third-echelon equipment. Zhou Yu's spear might have seemed to be peerless and fierce, but Class One Hall members had clearly underestimated Wind Void's conscious defensive moves.
They thought that they could take advantage of the situation, but Wind Void regained her balance when she stepped on a Class One Hall member in the air. She twisted around, turned, and flew while two butterflies suddenly shot into the crowd to make a dazzling flower of blood bloom there.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
When Zhou Yu caught up to her, Wind Void had already used her Mandarin Duck Sabers to swiftly attack a dozen people at twice their speed. There were seven dead and six injured, and since Zhou Yu's own people were in the crowd, he could not bring out the might of his spear technique.
"Move!" he shouted in anger.
As he did so, Zhou Yu realized in resignation that Wind Void had already come to understand that her Mandarin Duck Sabers were helpless before his spear technique. She nimbly moved into the crowd and attacked nonstop to slaughter her way through!
"You're the great sect master of Chivalry Sect, and you only know how to run?"
Zhou Yu's mobility was clearly inferior to Wind Void's, and since he was among Class One Hall members, he could not attack, or he would injure his own people. It left him so angry that his face turned red with rage.
Wind Void turned her head around and said one sentence that nearly made Zhou Yu
vomit blood. "Class One Hall, you have a group of men chasing after a weak girl like me, and you're actually shameless enough to say such things?"
"Alright, go on ahead. I'll kill Lin Xiao first before I come and destroy you."
Zhou Yu's words clearly struck Wind Void's weakness.
She froze and did indeed stop moving. She then turned around slowly.
"So much for the second on the Dragon Rank!"
Her heroic and aggressive eyes shone with a hint of disdain and mockery that displeased Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu!" Blood Robes' furious and anxious shout came from the distance. "What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and get rid of Wind Void to come and help me. I can't suppress this brat!"
Zhou Yu quickly cast a glance at Blood Robes and found that Blood Robes had a few bloody marks on his body. The man was forced to retreat repeatedly under Happy's stable advance and withdraw far away under the protection of Class One Hall's elites.
Only a small amount of time had passed, but the successor of Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill, whom other players claimed would never lose in one-to-one combat, had actually been tormented until he was in a pathetic state.
Zhou Yu tightened his grip over his silver spear and quickly composed himself while looking away. With a single thrust, he tore through the air and went to attack Wind Void without stopping.
*****
Blood Robes was in an incredibly fl.u.s.tered state.
Even though he had Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill, there was a fatal weakness to that ultimate technique: when the user faced an opponent of the same qi realm, Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill would automatically be interrupted if he was attacked.
In the fight, before he could even suck away Happy's qi, he was countered with Dragon Capture, and with one slash, Happy broke his body fortification.
If Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill did not have some damage reduction abilities, Happy might have killed him with just a few more attacks.
The situation was completely different from what Blood Robes had expected!
While he took medicine, he quickly retreated into the crowd so other Class One Hall members could block Happy's footsteps.
But unfortunately for him, there was no way those elites could possibly stop Happy.
Not only was Happy determined to kill Blood Robes, he knew even more clearly than Zhou Yu that he had to end the fight quickly. He swung his sword, and a sword force crashed into the crowd. It swept through them as if they were twigs!
His Flying Dragon Sword Technique had yet to reach Grandmaster Realm, so he could not use Wind Spirit Spin to deal area damage. But once he released sword force using a Life and Death Sword Technique, he could use his technique to deliver linear damage.
The raw damage of Flying Dragon Sword Technique was nearly four thousand, and when the 2,000 additional damage from Nation Protecting Divine Sword were increased by 40% because of the fourth echelon, his damage reached more than 8,000.
When faced with that, Blood Robes needed to rely on Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill's evasion attribute to protect his own life even though he had top-tier equipment. What then could a group of normal Class One Hall members hope to do against Happy?
His ruthless damage was not something they could withstand.
Wherever the sword force went, it tore through the place like a tidal wave. Dozens of Class One Hall members were instantly killed, and the remaining force was just in time to envelop Blood Robes within it.
Thud!
When warning bells rang in his head, he found that it was already too late for him to take any action. He felt as if a train had rammed into him from behind. He grunted, and when he opened his mouth, he coughed up blood!
Bang!
He did not manage to suck the enemy's qi, but had instead been heavily injured in just a few moves. When he remembered the arrogant words he delivered some time ago, he realized that he'd possessed the delusion that he was invincible and could fight against the whole world alone.
He felt anxious, and due to his anger, his qi became chaotic. In the end, he did not manage to regain his balance and was sent flying away.
When he looked up, a pair of legs appeared in front of him, and his gaze froze!
He looked up slightly, and he saw a simple robe and a Nation Protecting Divine Sword with three colors enveloped by a phantasmal color before his eyes.
"Blood Robes, when you destroyed Beautiful Robes Faction, did you ever imagine that you would end up this way?"
Happy stood in front of Blood Robes proudly, and the tip of his Nation Protecting Divine Sword was positioned over his c.h.e.s.t. The Class One Hall members nearby were both shocked and enraged. They wanted to go up to help, but they were afraid of stimulating Happy even further. They were hesitant, because they were afraid that they would end up injuring Blood Robes while they attacked Happy.
A fierce glare shone in Blood Robes' eyes.
'We don't know who's going to end up dead in whose hands yet.'
Whoosh!
Under countless people's surprised and delighted gazes, Blood Robes' body suddenly slid forward. Happy's Nation Protecting Divine Sword had actually been flung away, and immediately after, an astonishing suction force rose from his body.
Happy had been standing steadily on his feet in front of Blood Robes, and even he could not help but be pulled forward!
"You idiot!"
At the instant their bodies came into contact with each other, a great golden light crashed into Blood Robes so violently that he coughed up blood and was sent flying away. Happy hummed softly and executed Birth of the Flying Dragon!
Chapter 444 - Outwit Both Men
Bang!
Countless martial artists cried out in surprise, and a head with a face filled with disbelief and indignation flew up from Blood Robes' shoulders before landing in the dust.
Happy put his sword back into its sheath and stared at Blood Robes' corpse. The empty part in his heart seemed to have been suddenly filled with an inexplicable warmth. He s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, and his complicated emotions calmed down.
"Vice hall master!"
"Take revenge for vice hall master!"
A few worked up shouts rose from among the Class One Hall members!
Before those people could attack, however, they found themselves pinned down by a cold glare from Happy. They gulped and did not move.
Happy cast a glance at Blood Robes' corpse, then fixed his sheath by his belt.
The Class One Hall members split up numbly, forming a path to send Happy away. They watched him take a Universe Bag from Blood Robes' body and put it into his own Universe Bag without even looking at the items inside. Then, he walked to Lin Xiao. No one took the initiative to attack him, since the strength Happy displayed was no longer as simple as that of normal intimidation!
Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows clearly did not expect that Blood Robes would die so quickly. Lin Xiao might have ended up covered in blood, but he relied on his extraordinary abilities to not lose even when surrounded by Class One Hall elites.
Their plan to kill the three leaders of Chivalry Sect was probably no longer possible!
When they thought of this, they suddenly heard cries of surprise along with a few familiar warning shouts.
"He's here!"
"Happy's coming!"
Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows looked at each other, and without another word, they prepared to withdraw and escape. "Run!"
At that moment, Lin Xiao's enraged laughter reached their ears.
"Haha! You're thinking about leaving now?! You've been accompanying me for so long, and you don't plan to discuss your departure with me? Aren't you dishonest people? It would be rude of me to not reciprocate what you did to me! Why don't you die here?!"
More than one hundred elites from Chivalry Sect had died in the battle, but Class One Hall had only sacrificed a dozen people and Blood Robes. It might be enough for Lin Xiao to vent his anger, but when he thought about how Red D
ust's survival was still unknown, he made his decision to have those two rather powerful players from Class One Hall pay the price for having engaged him in a fight.
"Die!"
The black sword glare caught up to Evil Wolf's back.
Once Evil Wolf was hit, his true qi was thrown into chaos, and his speed fell drastically.
"You're asking for death!" Full of anger, Evil Wolf turned around and delivered a slash at Lin Xiao.
But much to his surprise, right when a sharp sword glare pierced Lin Xiao's shoulder, a breathtaking and matchless sword force descended from the sky. His body trembled, and the sword force pierced his c.h.e.s.t.
Lin Xiao and Evil Wolf fell to the ground at the same time.
However, Lin Xiao only had the shoulder of his sword arm pierced, and he could still stand on his feet somewhat. Evil Wolf fell into the crowd like a kite whose string was cut. He was no longer alive.
"Die!"
Monk with Thick Eyebrows originally wanted to provide cover for Evil Wolf, but when he saw that Lin Xiao was injured badly, he gritted his teeth and decided to kill him at the price of his own life.
Even though he did not actually want to do something like that, when he thought about how Red Dust was probably dead, such an action seemed like the best one. If he managed to kill Lin Xiao with his and Evil Wolf's lives, Chivalry Sect would only have Wind Void left, and it would be difficult for her to do anything alone! It would be worth it!
Waves of the sound of his sleeves fluttering were accompanied by a fierce and strong vortex. With an astonishing presence, he sent it toward Lin Xiao, who was held down by the Class One Hall elites.
Happy could tell just what Monk with Thick Eyebrows was thinking about.
"You're asking for death!"
He gritted his teeth and did not slow down.
He threw two Soaring Eagle Swords!
"Haha!"
Lin Xiao laughed madly and stopped pretending to look injured and slow.
