Chapter 371: Yipin Hall, the Deputy Hall Master of Desolation

Wasp Tail Stinger!
Inspired by wasps, the Tang Sect created the Beeback Armor, combining it with the Cowhair Stingers that possessed the ability to break through barriers, resulting in armor with astonishing defensive capabilities and unexpected lethal effects. It was also one of the unique hidden weapon armors—a truly remarkable magical artifact.
“Truly blessed!”
Realizing that Tang Feng not only possessed “Pocket Universe,” “Golden Bell Shield,” and the secret technique “Ingestion and Ejection” but also wore the Tang Sect’s special armor, “Beeback,” even Happy felt a sense of powerlessness and jealousy.
Previously, he had thought he was lucky to have obtained “Golden Bell Shield,” “Illusion Demon Movement,” “True Dragon Ten Styles,” and the three-section Qingming Sword, feeling proud and even a bit guilty. But now it seemed there were other lucky ones in the world, some even more extraordinary…
Tang Feng’s equipment could no longer be described as just “abnormal.” In a direct confrontation, who would dare to challenge Black Sand and Breakthrough Stingers, both of which operated in light and dark? Moreover, with “Pocket Universe” as a one-shot killing weapon and “Beeback Armor” ensuring his back was safe, Tang Feng was practically a mechanical monster. If you couldn’t defeat him head-on, you couldn’t ambush him from behind. The slightest carelessness would lead to death and defeat.
Stopping fifty meters away, Happy stared at Tang Feng, his brows furrowed in concern. Unbeknownst to him, Tang Feng was just as shocked, especially after seeing Happy effortlessly dodge his consecutive deadly attacks twice and even counter them—without even “Beeback Armor” causing any damage to Happy. It was as if a level-12 typhoon had swept through his heart.
Ever since he made it onto the Dragon Ranking, none of the strong opponents he had listed as rivals had managed to escape unscathed from his attacks; most couldn’t even withstand Black Sand or Breakthrough Stingers. When faced with tough opponents, he would simply kill them with “Pocket Universe” without hesitation!
Now, “Beeback Armor” was being shown to the public for the first time…
“The best among masters—truly living up to the reputation.”
Tang Feng sighed deeply, his expression solemn.
The group of Tang Sect disciples also became unusually serious. Although their fight had been brief, the intense clash made it feel suffocating for everyone within a hundred meters.
“Tang Sect’s hidden weapons are truly unmatched in the world—living up to their reputation. To defeat you, I seem to have to use all my tricks…”
Happy’s face turned as dark as water. In front of countless people, he put away his Gentleman Sword into his Pocket Universe bag, then, amid sudden gasps, drew out a sword radiating three-colored light and gleaming with sharpness!
Qingming Sword!
A fleeting yet world-shaking three-section sword.

Tang Feng’s expression shifted slightly, but he showed no sign of surprise, clearly having heard about Happy possessing the Qingming Sword before.
However, Happy’s actions didn’t stop there.
He took off his blue robe, revealing a well-fitted black combat suit.
“Click!”
A pair of golden bracers were skillfully fastened around his forearms by Happy; then…
Leg guards!
Battle boots!
Happy’s expression remained eerily calm. The all-gold equipment components gave this stern and upright young man a sense of might and metallic coldness.
When the most important component—the golden armor—was put on and quickly connected to the others, covering his entire body, a uniform metallic sheen spread across him, giving off an indestructible impression!
“Hiss!”
Tang Feng’s expression changed…
Golden equipment components had also appeared in the market, and he was aware that once assembled, such equipment was as powerful as a complete set of magic weapons, with astonishing defense capabilities—even surpassing the sharp 3-stage Qingming Sword.
Seeing that Happy actually had a full set of golden equipment, Tang Feng felt utterly despondent.
It could be said that golden equipment was another layer of impenetrable protection. With it, even techniques like “Pocket Universe” or “Piercing Gale Needle” could not directly harm Happy’s body.
If Tang Feng was a consumable mechanical monster, then Happy at this moment was a true battle fortress—invincible in close combat!!
All of Tang Feng’s tactics, as well as those of the Tang Sect disciples, were completely useless against Happy.
If Happy wished, he could easily strangle everyone present!
Black Sand, Piercing Gale Needle, Pocket Universe—all utterly useless…
Seeing this, Tang Feng realized that his chances of stopping Happy from entering the royal tomb today were zero. His tone changed, and the two pieces of Black Sand in his palm silently fell back into the black pouch at his waist:
“I lose.”
Happy was stunned.
He frowned at Tang Feng, then glanced at the Tang Sect disciples who quickly separated. With a cold snort, he stepped forward and, like a golden arrow, rushed toward the royal tomb—although Tang Feng gave him a bad feeling, the time until the tomb opened was running out.
Moreover, he was very curious about who had asked the Tang Sect to cause him trouble…
That person must be in the royal tomb!
…
The royal tomb, these past few days.

Because of the existence of Happy, fewer and fewer experts persist in coming here every day, especially those on the Dragon and Phoenix Lists—almost none remain. Since there’s no benefit to staying, many have given up the Royal Tomb and sought adventures in other areas.
But today…
The Royal Tomb unexpectedly saw the arrival of two groups.
It was the members of the First-Class Hall, led by Huang Sha.
There weren’t many—just over thirty—but each of them exuded a faint purple and red metallic glow, with cold gazes and formidable presence.
All were equipped with Level 2 gear and weapons!
Wherever their eyes fell, they showed no hesitation in revealing their murderous intent. Many experts who often frequented the Royal Tomb sensed an ominous aura from these heavily equipped and powerful members of the First-Class Hall and retreated to a distance, abandoning any thoughts of attacking the Royal Tomb.
“Hall Master Huang!”
“Control your men. They look terrifying—see, they’ve scared everyone away.” Facing the group from the First-Class Hall were the members of the Lingxiao Palace. Their leader was unusually young, leaning casually at the entrance of the Royal Tomb, scanning the group with a sly glint in his eyes.
“I’m already holding back, you bunch of trash…” Huang Sha snorted coldly, casting a dark look at the leader of the Lingxiao Palace. “With so many of them, yet Happy has been able to dominate the Royal Tomb alone for a whole week. If it weren’t for the Hall Master’s orders to keep a low profile, I’d have wiped them out right now.”
His words carried a deep and chilling murderous intent!
“Tsk tsk… Such obvious killing intent…” The young man from the Lingxiao Palace ignored Huang Sha’s hostility, clicking his tongue exaggeratedly. “I wonder if Hall Master Huang will still be so domineering when Happy arrives.”
“Hai Dongqing! What do you mean by that?”
Huang Sha’s eyes turned icy.
“With Tang Feng’s strength, ranked seventh on the Dragon List, can’t he hold back Happy?”
“Do you think he can?”
The swordsman Hai Dongqing raised his chin toward the bamboo forest, the teasing in his eyes fading significantly…
The members of the First-Class Hall also sensed something and looked in that direction. Their gazes froze as they focused on the person slowly stepping out of the bamboo forest and into their sight.
Thud, thud…
Walking slowly across the hard ground, Happy moved cautiously.
“Disciples of the Tang Sect… clearly acting under your orders.”
Each word was delivered coldly by Happy. The members of the First-Class Hall and Lingxiao Palace quickly felt an invisible sense of suffocation and intense pressure pressing down on them.
