Chapter 973: Danger

Chapter 973: Danger

To a normal person, after being in a coma for one and a half years, they should no longer be able to catch up with the era.

Happy was practically one of his kind to be able to immediately rise to fame after he reentered the game.

One of the reasons was because Happy’s foundation in this world was incredibly good. He had already gained a comprehensive understanding of all sorts of martial arts, and he could execute his moves as easily as breathing. The other reason was because of his high scale development over the past one and a half years in the other world. He had come into contact with a lot of Myth Realm players, and he had already gained a lot of knowledge of the game. Naturally, he was able to move ahead of a lot of people!

However, the game in this world had already been in operation for five years, which meant that the high-end players over here had far surpassed the level of what Happy had come into contact with over the past one and a half years in the other world. This was something that Happy had not experienced just yet from normal players and normal elites, but when he faced high-end top-class elites as well as elites from Wild Wolves, Happy finally understood what was lacking about himself for the first time, and he discovered the danger brought by not being involved in the game in this world for one and a half years!

He had never heard of the move Flame Wolf used.

This was a move where he had his true qi surge forward madly in exchange for power. When it appeared, it caused Happy’s mobility to be frozen for an instant.

Then, when this move was paired with Bloody Hell Saber, they instantly formed a situation guaranteeing certain death!

During that critical moment, Happy quickly made a guess. Flame Wolf used a lot of qi in exchange for the activation of an ultimate technique. It should be a powerful crowd control martial art similar to an aura. Hence, he immediately gave up on avoiding the attack, gritted his teeth, and withstood Bloody Hell Saber’s slash.

Thud!

The saber moved like the setting sun. It sliced past Happy’s chest at lightning speed, and a distinct, bloody stream trailed after the saber.

As expected of Wild Wolves. Aside from possessing great mental fortitude, their fighting skills were greater than the normal person. The power contained in the saber glare was not strong, but it had hidden force forcibly attached to it, delivering such a shock to Happy that his qi and blood tumbled, and he was thrown off the ground. He lost his balance.

“Kill him!”

Flame Wolf had a hand cover his neck while he glared at Happy being sent flying. He shouted loudly, and his chest heaved. Clearly, he had to pay a huge price for the move he used just now.

“Don’t worry, he won’t be able to run.”

In an instant, Bloody Hell Saber chased after Happy. He delivered three slashes back to back, and the shock caused Happy to be covered in blood. His body practically never touched the ground, and he ended up staggering dozens of feet backward.

At that moment, the silver cloth over Happy’s chest had several tears left on it, and a few terrifying wounds appeared on his chest. There was blood at the corners of his mouth, and he looked incredibly pathetic.

When the fifth slash landed on Happy, Happy was already swaying. He grabbed his sword and moved hastily while he continuously parried Bloody Hell Saber’s attacks as the man launched his offense. His footsteps were disorderly, and he looked as if he could not even regain his footing. He appeared like he would not be able to last in the next second and would die under Bloody Hell Saber’s hands.

Bloody Hell Saber’s expression was cold. He chased after Happy while he retreated and executed those fierce and aggressive saber glares nonstop. During that time, he spoke, and his cold words shot forward like bullets. “If you appeared together with Wind Chimes, perhaps we would be slightly wary of you, but you actually came here alone? What a joke!

“Just die!”

When he said this, his qi suddenly rose, and his saber released a layer of silver light that looked like a wave swallowing up the entire world.

“Waves of the Silver Sea!”

The silver light spread out even further and charged fiercely at Happy.

However, when Bloody Hell Saber was satisfied with forcing Happy to this state and was prepared to use his killing move to end this fight, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and he found in his disbelief that Happy, who was clearly swaying and looked as if he was about to keel over and die, suddenly stopped moving at the moment he executed his attack. The pathetic presence he gave off disappeared, and he lifted his sword before he thrust it into the silver sea.

The onlookers did not find it strange.

To them, Happy was long since at the last of his life, and he was just dragging his heavily injured body to fight against Bloody Hell Saber. It was just a matter of time before he lost and died.

The power in Bloody Hell Saber’s sudden final attack was peerless, and even those watching from the distance could sense the pressure brought by how destructive it was. Happy fighting against it while cornered was just a show of his determination.

However, something unexpected happened.

A small spark rose from the thrust Happy delivered. Once it entered the wave that was like a galaxy, Bloody Hell Saber’s momentum burst like a bubble and vanished without a trace.

Bang! Bang!

Happy, who looked like an ant trying to shake a tree with his attack, looked as if he was struck like lightning. He grunted and was thrown more than thirty feet back.

As for Bloody Hell Saber, this Wild Wolves had the upper hand since the beginning. However, once his saber glare was destroyed, he stared at Happy for a few seconds, unable to believe his own eyes. Right before him, Happy regained his footing once more while he panted for breath. He did not die, but a hint of disappointment and a refusal to admit defeat shone in his eyes.

“I actually didn’t manage to kill you even with all that?” Bloody Hell Saber said.

It was only at that moment that the people watching from afar noticed a barely noticeable red line at Bloody Hell Saber’s neck.

Once he finished speaking, the red line quickly became clear, and blood gushed out from his neck.

Then, right under countless people’s shocked gazes, blood sprayed out of Bloody Hell Saber’s neck in front of Happy. His corpse crashed against the ground, right between where Happy and Flame Wolf stood.

Silence.

Including Flame Wolf, no one expected that the fight would end up like this!

Bloody Hell Saber had the upper hand, but he was killed with just one slash by Happy, who was covered in blood and looked as if he was about to die.

Quite a number of players were puzzled. Their gazes moved back and forth between the corpse and Happy, who gasped for breath in a pathetic state. They gulped laboriously.

“Just what happened?”

“How did he die?”

Even though Happy was alive and the death of that Wild Wolf caused many people to feel gratified, including Whirlwind Young Li, no one knew just what Happy did when Bloody Hell Saber unleashed his killing move.

How did Happy stay alive?

He managed to stay alive under that terrifying offense and even killed a top-class player with just one sword thrust.

Flame Wolf’s pupils shrank as well while he stared at Happy in disbelief.

“Just what did you do?”

While he faced Flame Wolf’s questioning, Happy, who was injured and hurting all over, sucked in several breaths for a few seconds before he grinned. “What did I do? Why don’t you ask what your companion did? Enough with the nonsense. Right now, you’re the only person left in your group. You should go to Guanlin Temple to meet them.”

Happy spoke slowly and laboriously, because right now, every single syllable that tumbled out of his mouth affected his pain receptors, and his entire body hurt.

The power in an Inaction Realm saber technique was not just for show.

Even though the defense for his Indestructible Body—which he had not mastered yet—was pretty good, it still broke at the fourth slash. If it had not been because of the defense brought by the periosteum from Tendon Changing Classic, which allowed him to negate certain damage from hidden forces, he might have already been killed by the shock delivered by Bloody Hell Saber’s fifth slash.

No one knew that just now, when the situation was the most dire for him, Happy finally understood the profound secret behind Tendon Changing Classic.

The more severely hurt he was, the more Tendon Changing Classic could bring out its great self-recovery abilities.

When an injury appeared on him, his meridian system would automatically shut up to quickly stop the blood flow.

When hidden force entered his body, his periosteum would instantly become slightly stronger to weaken the damage from the hidden force, allowing him to immediately recover.

Bloody Hell Saber’s offense might have caused him to be caught in an incredibly pathetic state, but in just one breath, Tendon Changing Classic allowed him to recover from a certain degree of injuries.

Naturally, it was impossible for Happy to do nothing during the offense.

While hidden force could be used to injure people, it could also be used to protect the user!

As long as he gathered his true qi at the parts enduring the damage, his defense in that part will increase greatly. Hence, Bloody Hell Saber’s offense basically had a hard time creating any substantial damage later on.

He had not chosen to launch any counterattacks whatsoever because Happy wanted to widen the distance between them and Flame Wolf.

He was worried that Flame Wolf could use the move from before one more time. Then, even if he had something as game-breaking as Tendon Changing Classic, he would definitely not be able to withstand Bloody Hell Saber’s mad barrage again.

Flame Wolf did not chase after them, and the thought of counterattacking rose in Happy’s mind.

But he did not expect that Bloody Hell Saber would choose to use his killing move to fight against Happy at that moment.

This sort of killing move created a bombastic effect, and it contained an illusory effect. To a certain degree, it could give the enemies the misconception that they could not fight against the attack with brute strength. Unfortunately, Bloody Hell Saber did not know that Happy’s ability to determine locations based on sound and the spiritual senses given to him by Tendon Changing Classic allowed him to not be affected by illusions.

When the final move arrived at the peak of its strength, Bloody Hell Saber would also be at his weakest.

He seized the chance and killed him with one blow.

Happy completed a counterattack that only existed in textbook examples.

*****

None of the people watching by the sides saw how Happy attacked.

Flame Wolf might be smart. Even though he also noticed that Happy was already near death’s door after fighting head on against Bloody Hell Saber and that he could kill him with the flick of his palm, he remembered how Happy had pretended to be at a disadvantage and how he appeared to be suppressed before he unexpectedly counterattacked and killed Bloody Hell Saber, who was at the peak of his condition, all while he was cornered! Bloody Hell Saber’s death brought him great shock, and he began to wonder whether his guess was wrong and that all this was just Happy’s scheme.

When Flame Wolf stopped moving, Happy sighed in relief.

‘Managed to intimidate him.’

To kill Bloody Hell Saber, Happy used Demon Destroys the World, a move in Great Demonic World Destruction Art that was theoretically powerful. He used up a total of two hundred qi points, and his qi realm fell to Life and Death Realm. If Flame Wolf attacked right now, Happy would still be unable to escape from his tragic fate of dying.

Unfortunately for Flame Wolf, after weighing the pros and cons, he cautiously chose to widen the distance between them and stall for time.

Happy smiled.

Even though the Myth Realm elites had been mobilized, the people killed in the city were all under the Killer Star effect, and Happy was willing to take the gamble that Flame Wolf did not know the difference in treatment between them and those without the Killer Star Effect.

If normal players were killed in the city, those Myth Realm elites would quickly rush into the city without ever stopping so that they could maintain world peace.

But a pity for them, when someone under the Killer Star effect was killed in a city, even though the murderer would still be hunted down, the Myth Realm elites would be slightly demotivated, and they would stall for a few minutes before they slowly showed up.

Flame Wolf was from Wild Wolves, and it was clear that this was the first time he used this method to sneak into the Chinese server to kill.

They continued waiting until Happy’s Tendon Changing Classic allowed him to recover from most of his injuries. Even so, Six Doors’ Myth Realm elites had still not appeared. Instead, Golden Rakkhasa, whom Happy crushed to death just now, came over here with a murderous air, and he walked out from the crowd while countless players cried out in surprise.

When he heard the movements behind him, Happy turned his head around and saw Golden Rakkhasa. He saw him coming over here without stopping for even a second, and his face was fierce. From the imposing momentum and speed he displayed, it was not hard to tell that he was not afflicted by the injured status.

“Wild Wolves sure are rich.”

While Happy avoided him, he lamented from the bottom of his heart.
