Chapter 239: No End in Sight
Ao Cangsheng, who had met Happy once, knew very well Happy’s strength. He understood that ordinary poisonous insects could hardly harm or penetrate his superior protective aura. So from the start, he secretly gathered all the top experts from the Five Poisons Sect behind him. As the opponent rushed out of the poisonous insect formation, the group of experts behind him unleashed a momentum that was no less formidable than Happy’s!
Boom!!
Mysterious… miraculous…
The air surged violently! Their momentum soared to an astonishing level in an instant. Several blades rushed toward Happy, attacking fiercely despite his impenetrable Golden Bell Shield.
Unfortunately!
If it had been in the Fox Cave, the seventh layer of the Golden Bell Shield might have struggled against multiple experts at the Mysterious realm with their superior martial arts. But after leaving the Fox Cave, Happy never stopped refining his Golden Bell Shield. Even during those over half a month spent focusing on the “Seven Stars Sword Technique” and the “Illusion Demon Movement,” his shield gradually reached the tenth layer. Even without activating its full power, his defensive capabilities already reached an astonishing 900+—reducing frontal damage by 30% and allowing him to evade attacks with a certain probability.
Combined with his Yellow Dragon equipment, even the superior martial arts of masters at the Mysterious realm could hardly deal much damage to his Golden Bell Shield. Once activated, it enhanced defense by 30%, allowing him to basically ignore the ordinary attacks from the Five Poisons Sect experts.
When the experts from the Five Poisons Sect launched their attacks at Happy, they quickly realized something was wrong!
It was too late…
Boom!!
A force as fierce as their own full-power strikes rebounded from the Golden Bell Shield! Their bodies shook violently, their palms cracked, and their weapons flew from their hands. They flew back to the stone steps of the Five Poisons Sect, groaning in pain and bleeding.
This scene completely took everyone in the Five Poisons Sect by surprise, including the many experts at the Mysterious realm who had come to watch. They were stunned, unable to believe their eyes!
Although superior protective auras had extremely strong defensive capabilities, it was unimaginable that they could use the rebounding force to push back or injure experts at the same realm.
Yet all of this truly happened…
Hmph!
A bone-chilling snort reached their ears. Ao Cangsheng’s face instantly turned pale from blue, and the image of Happy in his pupils swelled rapidly!
Though Ao Cangsheng was a highly skilled expert himself, his first encounter with Happy ended in defeat after just one move, and he was even knocked to the ground by Happy’s sword. This had left an indelible shadow in his mind. Coupled with Happy’s unstoppable ferocity earlier, he hesitated for a moment even when seeing Happy approaching.
In a clash between masters, even a moment of distraction could cost him his life several times! As his movements slowed, Ao Cangsheng realized he was done for. His heart turned to ashes, and he prepared to close his eyes and wait for death… Yet! Seconds passed, but instead of the pain of death, there were screams of shock and anger erupting behind him. Familiar voices rang out one after another, along with the clashing of weapons—utter chaos. When he opened his eyes, Ao Cangsheng was first shocked, then his face burned with fury! His fists clenched, and his body began to tremble rapidly! Kai Xin hadn’t attacked him but had instead dodged past him and rushed into the crowd on the stone steps of the Wudu Sect, slaughtering indiscriminately. That strangely shaped yet somehow familiar Silver Wolf Breaker Sword took a life with every swing, its sharpness seemingly unstoppable by any protective barriers. It was inevitable! The killing power of the Seventh Star Sword Technique at the tenth level was over 2,300, more than four times that of the “Shadow Wind Leg,” and far surpassing even the master-level “Flower Hero Song.” Inferior protective barriers were utterly useless—shattered in one strike, they couldn’t even withstand or pierce leather armor. “It’s a shame it will take some time to reach master status… Otherwise, why go through all this trouble to wipe out the entire Wudu Sect?” Kai Xin activated his Illusion Demon Movement, moving methodically through the crowd. Wherever his gaze fell, his swift sword strikes left trails of blood. With his graceful movements, the last Wudu Sect leader with superior protection was flung into the air like a kite and crashed into the main hall. On the stone steps, the group of masters were either dead or injured! Most didn’t even get a chance to approach before being knocked aside by their comrades who were blasted like shells, forcing them to stand far away, too terrified to risk their lives—the hardness of the Golden Bell Shield was beyond their reach; approaching meant certain death. Kai Xin smiled, then glanced around the open area outside the main hall. The overwhelming swarm of poisonous insects went unattended as Wudu Sect disciples frantically tried to gather them—anyone could see now that Kai Xin, with his bizarre movement skills and powerful protective barriers, didn’t need to worry about those insects at all. Hmph! Looking up, he glanced at the Wudu Sect’s sign above him. Bending his knees slightly, he effortlessly removed the sign from above the main entrance and planted it upright on the ground with a “thud”… Ao Cangsheng turned to see this and panicked immediately! “Stop!!” Crack!! With decisive action, under Kai Xin’s merciless gaze, the Wudu Sect’s sign was smashed into pieces. The crisp sound of shattering broke the last hope of the Wudu Sect members.
A resolute attitude, showing that Happy’s approach was different from his previous stance toward gangs—no matter which faction it was, even if they offended Happy, they had never been pushed to this extreme by him.
“Hss… This is a fight to the death.”
Among the crowd were also people from the Heroic Gate, such as Lin Xiao and Hong Chen, who had come upon hearing the news. They had originally come worried that Happy might be in danger and intended to intervene at a critical moment. But now, seeing that Happy didn’t need any help at all, they were shocked by his attitude toward the Five Poisons Gate, realizing something unusual was at play.
Once a player and a gang entered a fight to the death, there were only two possible outcomes…
Either Happy would be killed by the Five Poisons Gate, bringing shame with the destruction of their gang’s sign; or Happy would destroy the Five Poisons Gate’s foundation, completely erasing them from the martial world!
Previously, Ao Cangsheng had indeed shown his determination to keep Happy here.
Now, it was Happy’s turn…
Shattering the Five Poisons Gate’s sign—it seemed Happy truly intended to turn his earlier boasts into reality!
Outside the Five Poisons Gate’s main hall, countless players watched eagerly as Happy ignored Ao Cangsheng and strode inside, their suspicions growing stronger.
Happy seemed determined to take advantage of the fact that all the Five Poisons Gate’s experts were gone to enter the hall and destroy its foundation.
Many experts at the Mysterious Realm flew over to the entrance of the Five Poisons Gate or took positions on the walls occupied by the archers who had left to watch the battle.
After all, the Five Poisons Gate was a relatively powerful gang that had risen recently…
Could such a gang really be destroyed single-handedly by Happy today? If so, would its leader, Ao Cangsheng, truly vanish from the martial world as promised?
The gossip-loving players in Wuhu City rushed to claim high vantage points to watch, leading some to think that the Five Poisons Gate had angered everyone and attracted countless martial artists to attack it.
Among the crowd…
Si Tu Luoyu and two other men with distinguished appearances stood silently together, staring gloomily at the crowded scene outside the Five Poisons Gate.
