Chapter 381: The Imperial Extreme Shocking Art!

At the moment the dust settled, the area where Happy stood was completely empty. The land around it had been ravaged by countless hidden weapons—various types of deadly devices scattered over a twenty-meter radius, their glowing, poisonous tips, arrow bows capable of piercing barriers, and hair-thin poison needles all creating a terrifying scene.
But…
A group of Tang Sect disciples, who had unleashed astonishing firepower, were completely disrupted by Happy’s sudden appearance amidst the swirling dust. Over forty of them lay dead, covered in all sorts of vicious hidden weapons. Those who were lucky enough to survive turned pale at the sight of the carnage.
Recalling what had just happened, it felt like experiencing an unprecedented nightmare!
With his stunning sword skills, Happy killed their leader, Tang Feng, in an instant—Tang Feng, the seventh-strongest on the Dragon Ranking, was pierced through the heart and killed instantly. As the group was stunned in shock and anger, Happy slipped into the crowd like a ghost from the chaotic dust.
Tang Feng’s death enraged the Tang Sect disciples, who immediately unleashed their various deadly weapons…
Happy slashed wildly among them, his dazzling sword light flashing everywhere.
Seconds later, the full extent of the tragedy became clear…
It seemed that most of the Tang Sect disciples’ weapons missed Happy entirely; instead, they hit their own comrades, turning them into ragdolls. Taking advantage of their fear and hesitation, Happy easily wiped them out—all of them, not a single one left.
With the Qingming Sword pulled out of the last man’s body, Happy coldly scanned the surroundings. No one dared to resist. Outside the high walls, sounds of objects falling from above could be heard, as many onlookers left the First-Class Hall branch in fear—these were mostly members of various gangs who had participated in the siege outside the city.
This wasn’t a safe area where they could fight freely!
Seeing Happy’s merciless, demon-like eyes, how could anyone not tremble with fear?
…
Boom!!
Uninterrupted, Yao Shi Wanneng quickly completed the task of destroying the black stone tablet. With a loud crackling sound, the foundation of the gang shattered.
“One First-Class Hall branch destroyed! Gained 200,000 silver coins as construction funds, along with 750,000 silver coins from the branch’s warehouse, plus various resources…”
At the moment the gang’s foundation was completely destroyed, Yao Shi Wanneng suddenly heard a series of numbers in the system prompt. He was stunned and frozen for a long time. Once he recovered, he rushed over to Happy to ask what was going on.

“It’s normal. The people from Yipin Tang didn’t expect us to be able to destroy the foundation of their gang. With their leaders absent, they couldn’t move the items from the branch temple’s warehouse, which worked in our favor.”
“You’d better keep this. If Caiyi Men faces trouble, it will definitely need a lot of funds and resources in the future…” Yao Shi Wanneng sent a trade request.
Kai Xin refused without hesitation and calmly said to the latter, “We’ll see… If Caiyi Men is destroyed, we still have another destination. Unless you withdraw; if Caiyi Men is fine, keep it. I haven’t even taken a proper look at these items yet.”
“…”
Yao Shi Wanneng immediately stopped insisting:
“I’m starting to hope that Caiyi Men gets destroyed…” Noticing Kai Xin’s gaze, he quickly explained, “I mean, I really like this feeling—taking revenge on Yipin Tang. Tsk tsk, so satisfying!”
“…”
Kai Xin was speechless.
He bent down and began searching for loot under the corpses of Tang Men disciples and Yipin Tang disciples.
“By the way.”
Yao Shi Wanneng came up from behind:
“Kai Xin, what’s really going on? I feel like I’ve been tricked.”
“Tricked into what?”
“Weren’t you killed once? Your strength was greatly reduced, right? Why do I feel like not only hasn’t your strength declined, but you’ve even become stronger?” Yao Shi Wanneng sized Kai Xin up oddly.
Kai Xin nodded:
“It’s complicated. But you’re pretty close to guessing…”
Though there was no clear explanation, this answer was enough to satisfy Yao Shi Wanneng.
“I knew it.”
The latter was filled with surprise:
“You’re quite sneaky, actually tricking the people from Yipin Tang and making them lose a branch temple for nothing… along with all those items.”
In the branch temple warehouse that Yao Shi Wanneng obtained, aside from hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, there was also a batch of valuable equipment, weapons, and medicinal materials, worth nearly ten million.
Kai Xin didn’t respond further.
Instead, he stopped and gazed deeply into the distant horizon…
“If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to master the old swordsman’s secret technique.”
These words were never spoken aloud.
Because even Kai Xin himself hadn’t fully sorted things out yet, not fully recovered from the shock of his death.
The old swordsman’s stunning sword strike—something he had never heard of or experienced in his past life!
At the moment of death,
he could sense that the old swordsman’s sword strike surpassed the peak of his current cultivation level. It must have been some kind of secret technique. And at the moment of death, he indeed saw clearly what that secret technique was, and at that moment, he inherited it…
Only that…

I’ve never heard before that mastering a secret technique requires sacrificing one’s life!
Kai Xin initially guessed that he must have triggered some hidden task for some reason…
Unfortunately, due to his low level, he couldn’t withstand that sword strike.
Kai Xin was extremely frustrated.
Although the old swordsman’s secret technique, “Imperial Extreme Shock Technique,” was extremely powerful—capable of unleashing two powerful, deadly sword auras—light and dark—enabling instant destruction—it cost him his only precious healing potion. Moreover, it led to the First-Class Hall launching a full-scale attack on the Colorful Robes Sect, putting the sect in grave danger, leaving him unsure whether things were for the better or worse.
Learning that the First-Class Hall had attacked the Colorful Robes Sect, the only thing Kai Xin could do was to ruin their plans at their most confident moment and deal them a heavy blow.
He had to show the First-Class Hall that he was still strong…
Words were useless.
Only fists could speak.
Hongwu City naturally became Kai Xin’s target.
And things progressed smoothly…
Tang Feng’s death should speak volumes.
The seventh-ranked warrior on the Dragon List, along with hundreds of experts at the Mysterious Realm, was enough to crush the Last Chance the First-Class Hall had.
Now…
it depended on the First-Class Hall’s reaction.
Kai Xin gathered his spoils and left the ruined branch of the First-Class Hall alongside the all-powerful Medicine Master, disappearing from the sight of countless players in Hongwu City.
This time, no players in Hongwu City chased after him.
Discussion abounded around Kai Xin’s destruction of the First-Class Hall’s branch:
“This doesn’t seem like someone who’s died once…”
Many agreed:
“Even Tang Feng wasn’t a match for him in a single exchange. Since he’s already left Hongwu City, the news that Kai Xin is dead is probably false.”
“Makes sense.”
“I think this time, the First-Class Hall has really gotten into big trouble!”
