Chapter 80: Fighting the Giant Wolf Alone

With his own strength, Happy single-handedly killed over forty members of the Tianba Sect, including their leader. This news quickly reached the ears of the Tianba Sect’s leader.
“Xiongba” was also quite frustrated. By the time he received the news, the team that had left the city happened to encounter the Longhu Sect mobilizing a large force of troops. With their imposing presence, they gathered beneath Hanshan Temple, and the Tianba Sect members dared not approach too closely for a while.
As for the Longhu Sect, driven by revenge for being attacked by the Tianba Sect, they were highly vigilant against them and killed no less than twenty Tianba Sect players along the way…
Xiongba could only stay inside the city. Delayed by the Longhu Sect, he was unable to rescue Leader Lin and his group in time. He watched helplessly as they were killed by Happy, while he had to continue mobilizing troops to deal with the Longhu Sect’s large-scale attack.
“The Blue-Robed Gentleman’s Sword…”
Standing inside the city, Xiongba gritted his teeth silently: “This kid named Happy really does have some strength…”
This time, he had truly made a mistake. He had planned to use this opportunity to confront the Longhu Sect head-on, so he sent many of his members to Hanshan Temple to guard the spot where the giant wolf appeared, then coordinate with the troops inside the city to attack the Longhu Sect from both flanks as they entered the forest. But he never expected Happy to break in first!
Moreover, they had severely underestimated this “God of Killing’s” strength. Out of over fifty experts, only a dozen managed to escape by chance. Their forces were in disarray, and the troops inside the city were too intimidated by the Longhu Sect to leave the city gates easily. His carefully planned strategy was completely ruined. Xiongba was furious…
“Leader, should we go out?”
“Let’s see first.”
With a furrowed brow, Xiongba didn’t dare let his brothers gathered at the city gates leave.
The over forty people who died in the forest had suffered severe losses—each death cost them 50% of their money and reduced their internal energy level by 20%, equivalent to being injured for a month. Even if they were revived, they would be at the strength of ordinary newcomers and unable to fight. Fighting the Longhu Sect under such circumstances was clearly unwise.
After some thought, Xiongba gave orders:
“Tell the brothers below not to act rashly.”
“Send a few more brothers to follow the Longhu Sect into the forest. Happy is their old enemy… If these two groups start fighting, it’ll be great.”
“Understood!”
A few players who hadn’t joined the sect quickly left the city and followed the Longhu Sect’s large force deep into the forests around Hanshan Temple…

At this time, the people of Longhu Gate still didn’t know that the assassin who had attacked them had already left the forest. Now, it was Happy and his group who occupied the area where the Giant Wolf hunted.
……
After dealing with the group from Tianba Gate, Happy took a look around and realized that such armed fights were quite harmful. Although he wasn’t physically injured, the chances of obtaining loot by killing ordinary players were extremely low. After killing over forty people in one trip, he had to use as many as eight pills! Each pill cost a hundred taels of silver, so that was eight hundred taels in total…
For Happy, who was already facing financial difficulties, eight hundred taels was a significant amount. Without bothering to consider Tianba Gate’s reaction, he quickly searched the forest for traces of the “Giant Wolf.” Time was pressing—he needed to earn some money to continue his adventures in the martial world!
However, the other three couldn’t understand Happy’s calmness at all and could only smile bitterly. First there was Longhu Gate, now Tianba Gate, and he had killed over forty people in one go. They couldn’t figure out why Happy seemed completely unfazed, as if nothing had happened, and wasn’t worried about Tianba Gate sending everyone to hunt them down. Although Happy displayed extraordinary strength, facing an entire sect still seemed extremely dangerous.
“Don’t worry,” Happy said from the front, explaining, “Judging by the time, night will fall in less than an hour. After nightfall, this place will be mine. As long as Tianba Gate’s leader hasn’t lost his mind, he won’t come after us anytime soon. We have enough time to collect enough wolf pelts.”
“……”
The three of them exchanged glances. It seemed their safety here depended on Tianba Gate’s leader not having lost his mind.
In less than two minutes, Happy’s group saw a pair of huge eyes glowing with a sinister green light in the forest. The three of them stopped in their tracks!
Soon after, the owner of those green eyes stepped out slowly from the depths of the dark forest, like a hunter spotting prey. With an indifferent gaze filled with coldness and mockery, he looked down at the four youngsters before him.
Compared to adult wolves, the Giant Wolf indeed had superior physical traits—its body was as tall as an adult, and its length exceeded five meters. Standing before the four of them like a giant, it emitted a fierce aura that made Xuanfeng Xiao Li, Ximen Qing, and Canglang’s auras grow heavier.
So tall! So huge!!
The three of them involuntarily moved their dry throats and swallowed hard.

Just with this momentum, they were stunned by the giant wolf, not knowing how to proceed.
“You handle the distraction, I’ll take care of it.” Happy knew that a Creation Realm giant wolf remained a formidable challenge for the three newcomers, so he stretched out his Jade Silkworm Hand and stepped forward slowly.
One step, two steps…
His steps were steady, his gaze determined, and his fighting spirit high!
Soon, the giant wolf’s eyes focused solely on Happy.
The beast’s innate intuition told it that this human seemed different from those it had faced before—though seemingly weak, he showed no trace of fear.
Roar!
Angered by the human’s provocation, the giant wolf let out a deep growl as its fierce breath surrounded Happy. Its claws tightened, and with a swipe, several deep scratches appeared on the ground.
Whoosh!
In mid-air, its massive body rushed toward Happy like a black lightning bolt, its speed even exceeding that of the Black Wind Fortress’ chief.
Xuanfeng Xiao Li and the others immediately looked shocked.
Such a ferocious beast had every hunting move honed through countless battles. It was even understandable that a Creation Realm giant wolf’s attack speed could surpass that of the Black Wind Fortress’ chief.
Happy also showed a serious expression.
Despite having the Jade Silkworm Hand, he wasn’t foolish enough to rely on his flesh and blood to withstand the wolf’s claws. With the wolf’s lethal power, even he would find it hard to resist its full-force attacks. Activating his Cloud-Ascending Step, Happy stepped back half a meter and landed just in time to avoid the wolf’s powerful strike.
Not giving the wolf another chance to attack, he immediately tapped the ground at even greater speed and spun around to the wolf’s side.
Its huge body made it difficult to throw it away like a wild wolf, so it could only resort to a direct attack.
But…
The target of the attack also mattered.
Vital points—representing various acupoints and joints on the body—could significantly weaken the wolf if hit. But if attacked blindly, it would end up like those previous players, struggling for days to kill one of them, not even knowing which side had won.
As his fist formation changed, Happy’s aura shifted!
A visible dark aura was clenched in his hand, quickly wrapping around his Jade Silkworm Hand. With a deep and powerful presence, it struck the wolf like a tiger descending the mountain.
Boom!
The sound was deep and forceful! The wolf let out a painful howl as its massive body was forced back half a meter by this force. Its claws scratched the ground, leaving four deep marks, while its eyes burned with disbelief and fury.
