Chapter 721: Seizing the Knife – Failure

“You brat, your death day has come today!”
Roaring voices came from behind:
“Drop the Sky Crystal now, and I’ll grant you a decent death! Otherwise, when I catch you, I’ll tear you to pieces—leaving you without even a place to be buried!” The Silver Knife Guardian chased after him in fury, his curses like biting cold winds, making the temperature around even lower.
Happy didn’t care about these things. This extremely cold area was vast and maze-like. After racing through the passages with the Silver Knife Guardian, he could clearly sense that the guardian’s energy was becoming disrupted, his internal energy flowing more slowly, his body turning red as if on fire, with a hint of blue-green, and his pursuit pace gradually slowing down.
This was the result of staying in a low-temperature environment for a long time, with the cold poison taking hold!
Although the Silver Knife Guardian had developed remarkable heat resistance through training in hot environments, staying in such extreme cold for a long time meant his aged body was no longer as strong as it once was. Even Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng couldn’t endure three days and nights on a snow-covered mountain peak and eventually died from exhaustion. The temperature here was many times worse than ordinary cold environments!
But Happy didn’t want this old man to leave too soon…
At such times, he would deliberately provoke the Silver Knife Guardian:
“Hmph! What a hypocritical old fool! Don’t the northern clans always claim they don’t care about the Sky Crystal? Yet now you’re chasing after me like a dog… Once I leave here, I’ll expose the ugliness of the northern clans to the whole world! I’ll make sure they have no place to stand!”
“Damn you, brat… Today, I’ll grind your bones to dust to satisfy my hatred!”
The people of the northern clans were known for their hot tempers. Now, mocked and threatened by a young kid, they couldn’t think of anything else—only one thing remained in their minds…
Kill! They must catch this kid and kill him in this icy cave.
A few minutes passed.
Although the Silver Knife Guardian felt his internal energy depleting faster, his internal energy flowing slower, and his limbs growing colder, Happy wasn’t much better off. His speed was slowing down, and his movements became more difficult. It seemed he could capture him with just a little more effort.
“It’s time…”
Happy carefully observed the Silver Knife Guardian’s condition. After realizing he wasn’t pretending, he estimated the timing and felt it was almost right. If he didn’t act now, the Golden Knife Guardian might run out of patience.

Once the Golden Blade Protector arrived and the two joined forces, he would have no chance to turn things around!
As they rounded a bend…
Kai Xin instantly pushed the slowly operating Nine Yang Divine Skill to its extreme limit. Without hesitation, he turned around. His “Sword Seven” emerged silently from its sheath, and with lightning-fast strikes, over a dozen sword beams shot out in an instant, aiming at the empty space around the bend!
The Silver Blade Protector was just over a dozen meters behind Kai Xin. Although his speed was slowing down, in the numerous bends along the path, those dozen meters were still covered in the blink of an eye.
With capture just around the corner, how could he afford to relax?
He kept exerting force as he rounded the bend. When he sensed the icy cold light approaching, even if he wanted to stop, his body froze for a moment.
Raising his silver blade, he tried to block those sword beams using the same method as before…
The Silver Blade Protector had underestimated Kai Xin’s tactics!
When dealing with a master of the Mythical Realm, Kai Xin wouldn’t just rely on sheer strength…
His earlier moves were merely to provoke and force the Silver Blade Protector to stay inside the Extreme Cold Cave and engage in a struggle. Though deadly, they still left him a backup plan.
Now that he was truly ready to fight, why not go all out?!
Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Style!
Thirteen consecutive sword strikes rang out nonstop, but most of them converged on one point…
One sword!
Two swords!
Four swords!
Eight swords!
Thirteen swords!!!
In an instant, the blade of the silver sword suffered damage from thirteen attacks, each worth 30,000 points…
The Silver Blade Protector’s expression immediately turned grim.
By the eighth strike, his arm had already lost all strength, relying solely on his vital energy. Yet his body automatically reacted by retreating violently to reduce the impact of the sword beams on the blade.
He was pushed back by Kai Xin for the second time…
As a master of the Mythical Realm, he had been brimming with anger, ready to unleash it.
Unexpectantly, the result was the same again—and even worse. After enduring the thirteen sword beams, not to mention that his arm was almost numb, he suddenly felt a gust of wind shoot out from the scattered frost, hitting precisely his fingers gripping the silver blade.
It felt as if lightning struck him…
He immediately let go of his weapon.
A powerful sucking force came from the other side.
The moment the silver blade slipped from his hand, it flew away with a whoosh…
Seeing this, the Silver Blade Protector’s face turned pale:
“Never!”

Without his weapon, he couldn’t use his most proud skill, the “Broken Blade Art.” Naturally, the Silver Blade Guardian wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. The moment the silver blade left his hand, he threw his body backward, grabbed the flying blade with both feet, and spun 360 degrees! A silver blade beam instantly filled the cave… Truly worthy of being a powerhouse at the Mythical Realm level. Outwitted by Happy in such a way, he still managed to counterattack swiftly in a critical moment! Failed to seize the object with his Dragon-Seizing Hand, Happy’s expression darkened. Without hesitation, he used the Little Dragon Form to dodge the blade beam, then launched a series of sword strikes, chasing from the narrow passage into the open cave outside. The Silver Blade Guardian seemed to sense Happy’s aggressive sword attacks as well; his expression grew serious, and he didn’t dare slack off. Using his fingers as stepping stones, he moved across the cold ground, spinning wildly 360 degrees again and again, with blade beams constantly shattering Happy’s attacks as he retreated calmly. “What a formidable Silver Blade Guardian…” Happy also didn’t dare use the Star-Shift technique lightly, as the attacks from the Mythical Realm were too powerful and fast—he wasn’t entirely sure he could redirect them back at himself. As for the “Three Dragon Sword Energies” copied from the Sword Sect’s sect master, although their destructive power was considerable and could reach 70% of its full strength due to his elevated realm, using them would cause a significant drop in his own realm power in a short time, so he also didn’t dare use them recklessly. It was indeed difficult to deal with! Gritting his teeth, Happy said, “I’ll go all in!” He continued to swing his sword beams, pressing the attack. After all, the Silver Blade Guardian hadn’t fully reversed the disadvantage yet. Whoosh! If the Silver Blade Guardian’s blade beams were terrifying, Happy’s speed was even faster. As the Silver Blade Guardian made one rotation with his blade, Happy quickly dodged, leaving three stunningly beautiful sword marks on the cold, hard ice surface. He chased after the Silver Blade Guardian like lightning. Finally realizing he couldn’t handle Happy with simple tactics, the Silver Blade Guardian already had several bloodstains on his thighs and shoulders. Happy’s gaze gradually became more steady and calm…
