Chapter 796 - Little Li Flying Dagger
Chapter 796: Little Li Flying Dagger
“As expected of the skill Ximen Chuixue created, the power in Ten Thousand Swords can be adjusted at will, and it can serve to attack and defend its user. The power contained in that attack might even be above Sword Sect Master’s Three Dragons Sword Qi, but it will use up quite a lot of qi,” Happy mumbled with a slightly pale face while he watched Teacher flee into the distance without turning his head around.
Dozens of Dragon Sect elites’ corpses could be seen scattered all around the horses’ carcasses. The entire government-made road was like hell, and it was incredibly bloody. The scene also made it clear that this had happened all of a sudden.
But this did not stop Happy from looting the drops from Dragon Sect’s members.
No matter what, these people were elites from America’s Dragon Sect, and they were important guests from Class One Hall. They should have some good stuff on them…
And just as Happy expected, not only did Happy manage to get a few Gold Hoops from the Universe Bag they dropped, he also found a bunch of Little Li Flying Daggers. This was a rare, consumable divine weapon he never managed to have in his previous life, because due to the dagger’s unique attributes, the dagger had never landed in the hands of the weak. Hence, if those who were in possession of it died, the Little Li Flying Daggers that they did not use will definitely drop.
“They have pretty good stuff.” Happy smiled and received these people’s “tributes”. He redirected his gaze then and stared at the town far away.
Even though he killed more than thirty Dragon Sect elites and had practically gotten rid of all of them in a go, Teacher, who was the strongest person among them and also their leader, managed to get away.
“Right now, Dream Clouds will most likely have already received news about this.” Happy summoned Hoof Shadow unthinkingly and jumped on it.
“Giddy-up!”
He switched to his trademark blue robes, and Happy clamped his legs around the horse’s belly. Hoof Shadow instantly moved its legs and charged down the road where it came from.
At least half an hour will be needed to travel from Beijing to this place.
It was not long, but not short either, but it was enough for him to visit Class One Hall’s branch in town.
*****
Since Wandering Know-it-all shut the door to his mansion in her face and refused to see her, Dream Clouds was in a very bad mood. She returned to the headquarters with her face full of rage and ordered her subordinates to tell her should anything happen in his mansion.
When she received the emergency note from Teacher, Dream Clouds had already trained for more than one hour.
“What?!”
When she saw the words in Teacher’s letter, Dream Clouds’ heart instantly leapt up her throat.
The identities of the Dragon Sect elites had been exposed.
‘This is bad!’
Dream Clouds sucked in a sharp breath. She finally understood why Happy had refused to see her even after he announced so publicly and boldly that he will punish Class One Hall.
He knew a long time ago that the Dragon Sect elites were still in the Chinese plains, and they were even under her wing!
In fact, he had even devised a plot with Wandering Know-it-all to deceive everyone!
“Happy, damn you!”
Dream Clouds’ expression was dark. She quickly gave orders and summoned all the elders who were ranked above branch masters to go to the meeting hall for an emergency meeting.
Blood Robes was the first to arrive.
Once he learned of what happened, Blood Robes’ expression became even more unpleasant, and this was especially so when he received a messenger pigeon. After learning about the contents of the letter, he sucked in a sharp breath.
“Happy has already entered that town, and he did not hide his tracks. By the looks of it, he intends to go straight to our branch.”
“Barren Murderer did go to Mu Clan’s branch and kill his people. Happy seems to want to imitate what he did and slap us in the face in front of the entire world.” Dream Clouds’ expression was grave.
“If this is just something that concerns Barren Murderer, it would be easy to deal with it. But this time, Happy laid an ambush while he was on the government-made road, and he had even took the effort to put on a disguise. It’s clear that he came for those from Dragon Sect. I’m worried that he won’t just end things by killing a few people as a warning.”
“I’ll take some people and go—”
Before Blood Robes finished speaking, Dream Clouds interrupted him brusquely, “It’s useless. Even when Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword worked together to fight against him, they were not his opponents. Heavenly Lightning and Fire, too, can’t kill him.”
Once she said this, her tone changed. “Happy… damn him. Looks like the words he said while he was at Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion is real. He does indeed not want to fight head on against us, which is why he decided to use a duel to destroy our confidence, cause us to be hesitant in everything that we do, and by doing so, throw the problem and the right to choose right back into our hands.”
*****
When Happy arrived at the entrance to Class One Hall’s branch, the branch had already heard news of his arrival and entered their most critical battle state. Hundreds of powerful bows were drawn on the walls, and Happy could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within those bows.
‘As expected of Class One Hall…
‘Professional players do really put a new definition into the word “professional”, all of them are Life and Death Realm archers!’
Happy gasped in amazement in his heart.
If Towering Palace had placed half of Class One Hall’s emphasis on bow techniques, they might not have lost so badly at the battle at Yangzhou City.
The damage in Life and Death Realm bow techniques was incredibly shocking, and even Myth Realm elites cannot remain unharmed when they faced these head on. Happy now had a vague understanding as to why Nine-tailed Fox died in Class One Hall’s hands.
If a normal branch already had such astonishing power serving as its defense, when they truly gathered an elite group of archers, it will be difficult for Nine-tailed Fox to escape from death.
But to Happy, these archers really could not do anything to him.
Petite Dragon and Moksha Realm’s lightness skill were archers’ enemies. Unless, of course, these archers had such great teamwork that they could lock down the area completely.
He took two steps forward, and his clear voice spread through the small town with the help of his qi. “Hand over Teacher, or else, I will bathe this place with blood.”
His words were short and determined.
At that moment, Happy noticed that quite a number of people from Class One Hall had their breathing turn rather heavy. They drew their bows even further, and all the archers’ gazes gathered on him. If he did anything rash, he might have thousands of arrows rain down on him.
Happy said nothing.
The place was quiet, and there was no reaction.
Happy was not surprised by this. If Class One Hall truly handed him over, he will find it strange, because Dream Clouds was not the type to betray an ally because of a little bit of pressure.
But right when Happy was prepared to take action, the door suddenly opened, and a person walked down the steps briskly.
The person who came over was considered rather polite. He did not dare get too close to Happy but stopped thirty-two feet away and wrapped his fist in his palm.
“I am Mu Long, the vice branch master for Class One Hall’s branch in this town. Greetings, Clan Master Happy.” He was very polite, and it was difficult for anyone to find him displeasing.
But Happy could not be bothered with that. His tone was still as cold as ever.
“Are you going to hand him over or not?”
“Our hall master has heard that you will be meeting us, and she is already on her way. I believe that if we hold a discussion—”
But before he could finish speaking, the light that shone at the center of his brows had already swiftly wiped out his consciousness.
Mu Long did not even see how Happy drew his sword.
Happy might have his sword draw speed reach the levels of One Emperor, but he still had not reached Responsible Hero’s level. The smooth motion of the sword entering its sheath after it was drawn and the lack of any hostile presence was Ximen Chuixue’s standard sword technique.
Hence when the people from Class One Hall saw Happy’s longsword being drawn and Branch Master Mu Long’s corpse falling on the ground, there was no need for them to receive any orders whatsoever, the hundred archers on the wall attacked at the same time!
Happy’s body was instantly pierced through, and the ground where he stood was also pierced through with arrows. The sturdy stone ground looked as if explosives had exploded all over it, and earth as well as stones flew all over the place.
But unfortunately for them, Happy was not just faster than them by one step. He moved gracefully and shot dozens of feet forward with just one step to tear down Class One Hall’s door. Then, he rushed in without turning back.
