Chapter 312: The Big Dipper Map on the Reed Marsh

Whoosh!!!
The cold wind sweeping across the river suddenly intensified! The vast reed marsh was crushed downward by the wind, and among the reeds as tall as a person, a group of guards stood apart from the crowd, along with a middle-aged general clad in full silver armor at their center. His gaze was cold and calm as he watched the renewed fighting on the river. Then, a yellow figure as fast as lightning stepped through the swaying reeds, emerging before their eyes.
“It’s someone from the Murong family!”
“Protect the general!!”
Being warriors accustomed to large-scale battles, the twenty-four guards reacted swiftly. As they gave orders, they lowered their long spears, quickly forming a spear formation around General Yang. The rising momentum from this formation made everyone feel the strength and uniqueness of this small squad.
Kai Xin remained unfazed, his speed unchanged…
“Cough!!”
The moment his sword was drawn, a melodious sword chant resounded throughout the reed marsh.
“Hmph, a moth flying into the fire…”
From a distance of dozens of meters, thanks to his illusionary movement skills, it took only a few seconds for him to appear above the soldiers’ heads! His speed was so great that even General Yang was stunned. He stepped back half a step, frowning at the shadow looming overhead, feeling a hint of unease.
Was the opponent…
coming straight at him? Not planning to engage his guards? An assassin?!
“Kill!!”
General Yang’s guards were no ordinary fighters either, their roars shaking the sky!
They turned around!
The long spears spun violently, aiming at the shadow in the air, with countless spear tips ready to pierce and knock it down!
Yet…
In the air, Kai Xin’s body twisted strangely, dodging between the dozen or so spears, causing most of the attacks to miss. Even when someone managed to hit him, a flash of yellow light sent them staggering back.
None of the guards could stop Kai Xin’s advance!
General Yang’s expression finally shifted from slight surprise to extreme shock!
Thud!
He stepped back several times. A silver long spear appeared magically in his hand, and he thrust it hard into the ground. His pride prevented him from immediately joining his guards to deal with this Murong family disciple, whose cultivation level wasn’t particularly high.
At the same time…

Happy, relying on his “Dragon Form” and the Golden Bell Shield, slipped through the guards’ blockade like a swimming dragon, his gaze fixed firmly on the General in silver armor, moving as fast as the wind!
“…”
General Yang’s expression grew increasingly grave.
Years of oppression and a life of indulgence in the Yangtze River region had weakened his body. Though his martial skills remained, his reaction speed and the bold, domineering aura he once possessed when facing martial artists had long vanished, leaving him not much stronger than the guards around him.
Especially when faced with the Murong clan’s disciple who had easily broken through to attack, the general’s composure and calmness disappeared, replaced by inexplicable fear and unease. His eyes darted around as he retreated, frantically channeling his internal energy, his silver spear emitting dazzling sparks in an attempt to keep the enemy at bay.
Whoosh!
Happy remained as calm as ever. Fully aware of the urgency of the situation, he knew it was absolutely impossible to stay put or waste time. As he closed in, he hesitated none before deploying his ultimate move—
The Dragon Seizing Hand.
“Ah!”
With a cry of shock, General Yang staggered backward, his hands empty as his weapon fell into Happy’s grasp. His last shred of protection seemed to have been taken away. Staring in disbelief at the young face that appeared before him like a ghost, his fear grew more evident.
“Stop!”
“Don’t hurt my general!”
A furious shout came from behind as a group of guards finally caught up.
Unfortunately…
Happy’s Golden Bell Shield was almost intact. With a loud laugh, he rushed behind General Yang like a top, swinging his sword fiercely at the general’s armor.
General Yang was struck like by lightning. With a muffled groan, he stumbled backward desperately, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained his silver armor vividly.
“General!”
“General!!”
The guards charging from behind saw Happy cunningly push the general into the path of the sword and quickly retracted their weapons to avoid being hit.
But Happy had been waiting for them for a long time.
Illusionary Demon Movement!
He vanished like a ghost into the dense reeds!
The group hurriedly searched around.
Boom!!!
A figure shot up from between General Yang and the guards. At close range, the sharp sword light scattered, hitting those around him and sending them flying in all directions.
Alas!
General Yang suffered the most. With another muffled groan, he was struck several times. His face quickly turned pale as if covered in gold paper. He staggered, his body trembling violently, like a puppet with no will to resist under Happy’s relentless sword strikes.

The group of players who had rushed over to protect General Yang at the system’s prompt were completely stunned.
“Save him!”
“But that person seems to be the number one expert…” Many hesitated, but were soon encouraged by others’ words: “Idiots! That’s a court general—if we save him, we might get hidden tasks or rewards!”
“Right!”
Many people’s eyes lit up immediately.
Attack!!
With someone taking the lead, more people followed suit, rushing forward in the tide.
Soon, a spectacular scene unfolded on the reed marsh!
Thousands of players swarmed from the riverbank toward the small battlefield, competing to soar high into the air, with the sound of them cutting through the air incessantly.
“…”
Xiankai immediately noticed the frequent vibrations on the ground and the pressure pressing down on him, frowning deeply.
No good!
“Finish it quickly!”
With a cold gaze, Xiankai stopped holding back his internal energy and activated his Dragon-Seizing Hand again. His hand, as strong as iron, firmly grasped the Silver-Armored General and, facing the countless players charging at him, threw him into the air before delivering a fierce kick!
Bang!
Under the astonished gazes of the players, the Silver-Armored General let out a scream as Xiankai kicked him into the air, sending him flying over ten meters like a cannonball.
Just as more people wondered what Xiankai’s move meant, he disappeared into the reed marsh, out of everyone’s sight.
“General!!”
The guards protecting General Yang quickly realized something from Xiankai’s actions. They turned their attention and chased in the direction General Yang had fallen.
Boom!
A blue sword beam, sharp and dazzling, shot upward from the reeds right beneath the Silver-Armored General…
“Seven Stars Shining on the Moon!!”
A clear shout, accompanied by several blue sword beams resembling stars, quickly formed a three-dimensional Big Dipper pattern before the eyes of the players…
Tragic and beautiful!
