Chapter 204: Crisis Outside the Secret Room
Happy’s seemingly suicidal act of madness shocked everyone present.
Fighting head-on against the Death Wolf Woman’s ultimate move, the “Flame Palm Sequence,” was completely unexpected by all, causing Red Dust and the other two to break into cold sweats.
But what was even more astonishing was…
Facing over a dozen Flame Palm attacks, the Golden Bell Shield remained as steady as a mountain, withstanding the fierce onslaught unscathed.
Yet!
What left them even more incredulous was that Happy’s outstretched left hand seemed to grasp something in midair, as if firmly holding onto it, accompanied by a voice filled with shock and anger.
“Argh!”
“Dragon Seizing Hand, capture… Judgment: Failure!”
The moment the system’s voice echoed back, Happy sensed a brief stiffness in the opponent’s seemingly fragile arms, using this opportunity to gauge the Death Wolf Woman’s body structure. Without hesitation, he transformed his right arm into that of the Thousand-Year Corpse King and thrust it forward in rapid succession.
Black arm shadows flashed like a forest…
Several loud impacts echoed through the air.
Red Dust and the others were stunned, forgetting to join in. They watched Helpful perform alone. Even after landing, he didn’t stop pursuing, moving in the Eight Trigrams pattern as he followed the rapidly disappearing black blood trails. His left hand reached out into the void once again.
Dragon Seizing Hand!
A powerful suction force emerged from his palm once more.
Judgment: Still failure.
The gap between the two levels of internal energy was indeed insurmountable. It seemed that even the combination of the Shadow Wind Leg and the Thousand-Year Corpse King’s right arm hadn’t dealt serious damage to the Death Wolf Woman. Though temporarily at a disadvantage, she hadn’t lost control of her body and still had strong counterattack capabilities.
However…
The brief pause caused by the Dragon Seizing Hand gave Happy ample time to attack.
Frowning, his right arm, emanating a cold, black aura, moved like lightning again, vanishing into the dense shadows as it stabbed frantically, inflicting more wounds from the front and eliciting the Death Wolf Woman’s furious, terrified screams.
“…”
The secret room seemed to have become a battlefield for Happy’s duel with the Death Wolf Woman. His speed, perfect control of rhythm, and mastery of her movement patterns left the other three with no chance to intervene. They could only stand there, stunned, as more dark blood droplets splattered across the room.
The Dead Wolf Woman’s shrill howls pierced the eardrums, echoing endlessly in the confined room!
When the Dead Wolf Woman was captured by Happy for the third time, Hong Chen involuntarily swallowed hard and exhaled deeply: “A terrifying creature.”
Before coming here, he had never thought that a player could confront the Dead Wolf Woman alone and bring her to such a state. Was it because of that item?
Hong Chen had long noticed Happy’s strange arm; his intuition told him that the equipment must be quite remarkable—probably a magical weapon or something similar…
Yet, it seemed as if another voice was saying that it wasn’t entirely thanks to that equipment.
Happy’s movements were too confident and skilled—far from those of a newcomer entering the Fox Cave for the first time. He seemed like an experienced fighter who had been there many times and knew the Dead Wolf Woman very well.
“What are you standing around for? I need to rest!”
By this point, Happy could no longer hold on as the three watched the battle.
Apart from maintaining his internal energy level and using techniques like “Golden Bell Shield” and “Invisible Wind Legs,” he also had to use the energy-draining “Dragon Seizing Hand” repeatedly to fight against a boss two levels above him. His energy was running low, and he finally called for others to take over temporarily.
The three didn’t dare delay and rushed into the battlefield at the same time!
Whoosh!
Happy stepped back just in time, out of the Dead Wolf Woman’s line of sight.
At this moment, the Dead Wolf Woman was severely poisoned, with numerous torn wounds and continuous bleeding. Not only was her condition terrible, but her position was also obvious, and her speed was much slower than before.
The three easily took over, taking turns bearing the attacks while trying to strike at her from afar to worsen her injuries!
Happy glanced over, quickly sat down in meditation, and began to practice his core cultivation technique…
His nearly depleted internal energy began to slowly regain strength, flowing back from his meridians to his dantian, growing stronger along the way as it accumulated.
It hadn’t been long since he rested when the sound of something cutting through the air came from outside…
Happy suddenly opened his eyes and stared solemnly toward the entrance of the confined room.
Yao Shi landed swiftly, his face filled with anxiety: “They’re here!”
Those two simple words made both Happy and the three fighting in the battle feel a chill in their hearts.
This was bad! The people from the Chang Le Sect and Luo Yu Gate had indeed come while they were fighting the Dead Wolf Woman…
“How many are there?”
“I don’t know.” Shaking his head, Yao Shi looked at Happy with an extremely serious tone: “They’re still gathering outside, but they should all be here by now!”
At that moment, he glanced toward the battlefield, and Yao Shi’s eyes lit up. From the Death Wolf Woman’s shrill screams and exhausted state, it was clear that things were progressing quickly here, and she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. However, Yao Shi’s hopeful expression soon dimmed. With the two major gangs advancing fiercely, they would likely storm into the secret chamber soon, and by then, the five of them might not be able to hold out any longer than the Death Wolf Woman! In his anxiety, Yao Shi failed to notice anything unusual about Happy Arm…
Huh!
Happy rose swiftly, glanced inside with a solemn expression, then resolutely took out a porcelain bottle from his Qi Bag. He poured out a pill and a Jade Dew Pill, putting them in his mouth. After swallowing the two pills, a noticeable wave of heat quickly nourished the still-insufficient true energy in his dantian, causing it to expand and fill rapidly. His sense of fatigue and minor internal injuries also healed swiftly…
“I’ll go deal with them.”
With his body restored to its best condition, Happy took a deep breath and strode toward the entrance of the secret chamber…
“Huh?”
Yao Shi’s expression changed. He turned quickly and blocked Happy’s path, staring at him angrily, “Are you trying to die? Going alone to meet your doom?”
“I’m not that desperate. I’m just going to kill a few people and take their heads.”
Happy paused slightly, raising his dark right arm, which was strong and muscular, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. “With this, killing a few people and slowing down those two gangs shouldn’t be a problem… If you’re worried, you can cover my back.”
Only then did Yao Shi notice Happy’s exaggerated black right arm. He took a slight breath:
“A demonic weapon?”
“Good eye.” Happy stretched his arm and described its attributes. Yao Shi’s expression grew even more serious as he finally understood what Happy meant. With an increase of 20 points to bone strength and arm strength, this arm was like a terrifying heavy weapon. Combined with the attack speed of “Shadow Wind Legs,” it was indeed overwhelming!
After pondering for a moment, he glanced at the door and then at Happy, gripping his long sword tightly…
