  Wind Chimes' words crushed Proud over All Life's final will in arguing back.

  The Five Venoms members stared at their pale-faced sect master, and they finally looked uneasy.

  Chapter 997 - Wild Wolves Attack

  "Retreat into the branch!"

  When he faced Wind Chimes' certain words, Proud over All Life finally panicked and realized that it would be a dumb decision for him to continue talking to Wind Chimes outside the branch. He gritted his teeth and ordered the Five Venoms members to retreat into the branch.

  More than one thousand Five Venoms members finally found a backbone. They no longer dared to remain idle and surged into the branch. The people's vision was blocked by the walls around the branch.

  Boom!

  As a loud sound rose, the main door was shut.

  Five Venoms completely blocked all discussions, Wind Chimes, Happy, and the rest outside the branch.

  "Bastards! They actually dared to be in cahoots with Wild Wolves! Brothers and sisters, what say you about this?!"

  Many of the players outside Five Venoms' branch were originally just there for a good show, but now, they were incredibly angry. They could already tell that Proud over All Life felt incredibly diffident when he faced the crowd after his deeds were revealed. When they thought about how Five Venoms usually acted, the crowd immediately became agitated, and denunciations for Five Venoms rose and fell.

  "Kill them!"

  "Attack! We can't have this parasite living in the Chinese server!"

  "Five Venoms has betrayed the Chinese server! Everyone, please come with me! Kill every last one of them!"

  They drew their weapons, and countless players gathered together while they cried out for each other to attack. In an instant, the onlookers turned into participants to attack Five Venoms' branch.

  Some of the hot-tempered people could not hold back anymore and rushed into the branch. They rushed into Five Venoms by climbing over the walls!

  Once someone taking the lead, more people decided to follow the trend.

  "Charge!"

  "Kill Proud over All Life! Destroy Five Venoms!"

  The players who came over to watch the fun after they heard news about it saw the large group attacking Five Venoms, and all of them were dumbfounded.

  Even Happy was flabbergasted.

  He did not expect that he would run into this when he came to Five Venoms' branch in Nanking. The scene of him fighting in a tiger's den alone did not appear. Instead, he turned into an outsider.

  But at that moment…

  "Ack!"

  "Hurry up and run!"

  "Darn it…"

  "Run!"

  There had been countless players who rushed into Five Venoms, but suddenly, they jumped over the walls of the city and charged out pathetically at an even faster speed.

  His heart clenched, Happy's attention was attracted by Five Venoms once more. When he looked carefully at the situation, he immediately scowled fiercely.

  Ten Thousand Poison Matrix!

  The Five Venoms members activated their Ten Thousand Poison Matrix under Proud over All Life's command, and venomous creatures flew all over the branch. Most of the people who entered immediately died, and only a small portion of people saw a chance of fleeing and ran out.

  After all, Five Venoms was a large sect that was among the top in the Chinese server. Even though they were far from being able to compete with Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall, when it came to poison, no one could compete with Five Venoms Sect!

  Once Ten Thousand Poison Matrix was activated, more than ten thousand poisonous creatures would devour their enemies! Only a few would be able to safely escape from the matrix.

  Outside the branch were countless players. Miasma had filled Five Venoms' branch. Venomous creatures filled the air with their fangs bared. When they saw this, their act of surrounding the branch stopped, and they even stopped attacking.

  The high-class poisonous pets belonging to Five Venoms members all had attack power that did not lose to normal Inaction Realm players. They were also incredibly poisonous. Even top-class elites did not have the courage to fight against thousands of poisonous creatures, much less a ragtag crew that had gathered together on short notice.

  "Hmph!"

  When she noticed this, Wind Chimes stood up on the roof and held her zither with one hand before she landed on the ground lightly.

  "Young Swordsman Happy."

  "Miss Wind Chimes, how are you?"

  "It's all thanks to you saving me last time, or else, I wouldn't have the chance to fight with you this time."

  The sound of robes fluttering could be heard.

  The group of people on the roof followed Wind Chimes down the roof. They surrounded the area and isolated a group of players who wanted to approach them.

  "Miss Wind Chimes, you came at the right time. Without Sky Demon Voice, it'll indeed be difficult for us to break Ten Thousand POison Matrix."

  "My master asked me to come to Nanking this time to help you fight against Five Venoms. Later on, I will be in charge of breaking the matrix, but you will have to be incharge of doing what is necessary next."

  "Don't worry."

  Happy nodded.

  Right when he finished speaking, the group of elites who followed Wind Chimes quickly cleared out a space outside Five Venoms' main gate.

  Wind Chimes sat down on the ground, and she placed Sky Demon Zither on her knees.

  Clanging zither sounds rose as Wind Chimes' fair fingers plucked at the strings. They sounded like the loud clashes of weapons when they crashed against each other, and they quickly painted a magnificent picture of war.

  Her fingers flew over the zither, and the sound blades were as numerous as snow in winter!

  The notes flowed in the air before they quickly materialized into snow-white blades. One turned into ten, and ten into one thousand. They were like continuous snow-white waves that rose with a fierce momentum. They charged forth with an indomitable presence and crashed straight into Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, mowing it down as if it was as brittle as rotten wood.

  The sound blades crumbled, and the poisonous creatures cried out in pain.

  Wind Chimes had already poured her entire attention into playing her piece.

  Her fingers danced joyfully on the strings and created a jingle. The group of visible sound blades quickly turned into ripples that overlapped with each other in the air. They then rushed into Five Venoms' branch from everywhere and rammed into Ten Thousand Poison Matrix.

  The sound blades were like endless tidal waves.

  The poisonous creatures in Ten Thousand Poison Matrix were immediately killed, and countless poisonous creatures who stood before the sound blades were reduced to powder.

  In less than half a minute, one quarter of Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix were destroyed, and large quantities of poisonous creatures at the door were completely destroyed.

  A number of players sensed that the density of the miasma in the air had been reduced, and they quickly jumped up Five Venoms' walls once more.

  "Haha!"

  "Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix is about to be destroyed!"

  "Miss Wind Chimes, good job!"

  The people on the walls noticed that as a large number of poisonous creatures died under the zither sounds, the Five Venoms members retrieved their surviving poisonous creatures in panic once more, and in a moment, the Ten Thousand Poison Matrix in the branch weakened by a large degree. By the looks of it, it was about to be destroyed at any moment.

  Boom!

  A loud sound rose.

  The door to Five Venoms was torn to pieces because of Recondite Steel Heavy Sword!

  Countless Five Venoms members, Proud over All Life, and his group stared at Happy with hate and ruthlessness as he calmed stepped through the entrance.

  When he saw carcasses of the poisonous creatures splayed all over the ground outside the main hall, Happy could not help but suck i
n a sharp breath, and he gasped in his heart.

  'Six-fingered Demonic Zither's legacy is indeed very domineering, and Nine Yin Blocked Pulses is seriously powerful!'

  He now understood why Wild Wolves would spend all their effort, use up a few months, and mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources to launch an ambush against Wind Chimes to kill her.

  In a large scale group fight, Wind Chimes' zither sounds was practically a strategic weapon!

  With one single piece, she could make multiple people die!

  Even if Wild Wolves brought all of their elites over to build their empire here, they would not be able to control the Chinese server. Their only hope was to work together with a big force like Class One Hall in the Chinese server to completely control the Chinese server, and they could only do this while remaining behind the scenes. But it was far too easy for such normal players to be crushed by Wind Chimes when they stood in front of her.

  When he thought of this, Happy suddenly felt a hint of unease rise in his heart.

  'This is bad!'

  At that moment, enraged shouts suddenly rose from the crowd outside Five Venoms' branch.

  *****

  The twenty or so players beside Wind Chimes were top-class players in the Chinese server. After they received Wandering Know-it-all's request, they were in charge of protecting Wind Chimes.

  While Wind Chimes destroyed Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, they were responsible for ensuring Wind Chimes' safety.

  But at the moment Ten Thousand Poison Matrix was about to be destroyed, several black figures suddenly charged out of the crowd not far away from them.

  "Who are you?!"

  "Stay where you are!"

  Wind Chimes' guards had already received news about potential ambushers beforehand, and they were now 120% on guard.

  But these people came too fast!

  In an instant, they were already thirty-two feet away from Wind Chimes and her group. Two snow-white longswords moved like sentient creatures, and they passed by a few guards in a flash, even if they had already lifted their weapons to block their attacks.

  "Sword Control Art!"

  "Wind Chimes, be careful!"

  "Set up the formation!"

  The group of guards were shocked.

  When they saw two longswords going after their protectee from the sides, the group's expressions changed drastically.

  Clang! Clang!

  The zither sounds changed their direction, and the endless sound blades swiftly changed their momentum to form a huge lotus flower and surrounded Wind Chimes.

  Those two snow-white sword lights sank into the wall like spades digging into mud. They released a string of piercing metallic sounds before the longswords bounced into the air.

  "You Wild Wolves are just as diabolical and shameless as ever. Aside from ambushes and assassinations, don't you know how to do something new?"

  Since Wind Chimes dared to show up in such a complicated environment, it was only natural that she had done complete preparations. Zither sounds surrounded her, and layered sound blades were like an invisible wall that surrounded her with loud rustling sounds. They blocked the attacks from that Sword Control Art. During that time, some sound blades split out of the lotus flower to help the guards attack those Wild Wolves.

  "Hmph!"

  "Last time, it's because of that brat called Happy that you managed to escape. I didn't expect that you would come over here yourself!"

  Immortal and Peach Blossom were not the only ones from Wild Wolves who rushed out. Along with them were also Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber.

  These five people had actually been hiding in Five Venoms' headquarters in Yangzhou, but Happy's fight against Five Venoms had forced them to move to Nanking.

  But that was not all.

  After Happy destroyed Five Venoms' headquarters and branch, he just had to chase after them to Nanking! Proud over All Life had expended all his resources to set up Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, but Wind Chimes managed to destroy it, and she had even revealed proof that Wild Wolves was working with Five Venoms.

  These five people were forced to reveal themselves beforehand, even though they felt helpless toward the situation, and they had to show up for the assassination. If Wind Chimes truly helped Happy destroy Five Venoms' branch in Nanking, it would be difficult for them to leave the Chinese server alive.

  When they faced five top-class elites, the group protecting Wind Chimes felt incredibly pressured, but they could only brace their courage and set up their formation so that they could work together to fight against their enemies.

  If it were not for the sound blades continuously harassing and attacking the Wild Wolves, those Sword Control Art elites would have directed their attention to Wind Chimes a long time ago, and Wind Chimes' guards would have been killed very early into the attack.

  Once they failed in their first ambush, Immortal and Peach Blossom, who came out of the crowd as if they drifted out of it, soon switched the target of their attack!

  Thud!

  One guard was careless, and he was locked down by those two longswords. The swords pierced through his c.h.e.s.t, and blood gushed into the sky.

  However, once those Wild Wolves were blocked by these guards, they bought time for Happy to rush out of Five Venoms' branch.

  With Wave-like Subtle Steps, he moved like an afterimage and got close to Flame Wolf and his group from the flank.

  "Flame Wolf!"

  "Attack! Trap him!"

  Wild Wolves were already prepared for this. As a clear and pleasant shout rose, an astonishing presence suddenly rose from Flame Wolf's body to bind Happy.

  "This again?"

  Happy chuckled coldly.

  Chapter 998 - Five Venoms’ Fierce Counterattack

  Happy had already experienced Flame Wolf's binding technique!

  Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber appeared once more in the Chinese server, and beside them were the two women he met in Five Venoms' headquarters. This already caused Happy to be incredibly cautious.

  And these two had even shown masterful Sword Control Art. When their longswords left their hands, they could use only their will to control their longswords. This naturally caused Happy to be wary of them, and there was no way he would be easily controlled by Flame Wolf once more. The attack speed in Sword Control Art was astonishing, and with Flame Wolf's strange ability in controlling others, it was absolutely possible for them to instantly injure any top-class elite they wanted.

  Hence, when he saw the black flames that suddenly rose from Flame Wolf, Happy abruptly stopped rushing forward.

  While Wave-like Subtle Step's speed was not the fastest among many of the best lightness skills, it was still the most profound and ingenious among all lightness skills.

  While the user moved, he could shift about and turn around in all sorts of manner. With just one thought, Happy's momentum in rushing forward could disappear, and he could even dash back at a speed that was unimaginable to normal people, allowing him to widen the distance between him as well as the Wild Wolves.

  Because of that, it caused the Wild Wolves, who had been prepared to attack Happy, to be so agitated that they wanted to die.

  Happy was about to enter their attack range, and they even executed their attacks, but Happy suddenly left their attack range at an even faster speed!

  Flame Wolf's full-powered attack missed its target, and his face turned red. His qi and blood in his c.h.e.s.t tumbled about, and he nearly coughed up blood.

  Immortal and Peach Blossom scowled.

  Bloody Saber Hell and Golden Rakkhasa's attacks also missed, and their expressions changed.

  At the same time, two snow-white sword glares sliced through the air and instantly pierced the rows of afterimages that Happy left behind on the ground before they continued to chase after Happy.

  Sword Control Art relied on the user's mind to command the sword. The users could change the directi
on of the sword at any moment they wanted, and only Immortal as well as Peach Blossom could somewhat catch up to Wave-like Subtle Steps' changes among the five Wild Wolves. The swords arrived in front of Happy with the force of a bulldozer.

  "Get lost!"

  Clang!

  Recondite Steel Heavy Sword swept through the air.

  The air trembled!

  The two snow-white sword glares w.h.i.n.ed simultaneously and were sent flying into the distance.

  Thud! Thud!

  Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber were shocked!

  Immortal and Peach Blossom were even stronger than the three of them in the organization, which was why they did not expect that the two women would be severely injured right when they exchanged blows with Happy.

  Wind Chimes did not remain idle.

  Once Happy's forceful attacks attracted the five Wild Wolves' attention, Wind Chimes' resolute zither sounds changed their direction. The sound blades that surrounded her turned into thousands of sound blades that attacked Immortal and Peach Blossom in endless waves after they suffered quite the setback.

  She wanted to take their lives while they were still heavily wounded!

  Wind Chimes' timing was incredibly good.

  But a pity for her, because the enemies she faced were all top-class players. While the damage in the sound blades was extraordinary, and there were plenty of them, but their speed was nothing.

  While the sound blades cut through the air and swept over, Flame Wolf, Golden Rakkhasa, and Bloody Hell Saber attacked.
