Chapter 790: “As You Wish”
The first to notice Happy targeting Huangsha was Jian Piao. Happy’s fierce sword energy sliced through the air, piercing through the rainbow-like attacks. The moment the sword was drawn, Jian Piao felt a sense of panic as if he were about to be torn apart.
Although it wasn’t the kind of skill seen between masters, the rapid succession of attacks was enough to fill him with dread and a sense of utter helplessness.
“Truly the greatest master in the Central Plains!”
That thought flashed through Jian Piao’s mind.
His movements froze. Just as he prepared to accept his fate of death, he quickly realized the situation was completely different from what he had imagined…
The sword strike that could have killed him instantly never came, nor did any of the subsequent fierce attacks affect him at all. Huangsha was completely engulfed in Happy’s sword energy.
The overwhelming wave of sword light surrounded Huangsha completely, separating him from Jian Piao. Though only a short distance apart, Jian Piao could feel the fury akin to that of a typhoon’s eye—the sword beams striking his face seemed capable of piercing through his body…
Yet these intense attacks erupted eighteen times in an instant.
Huangsha, who remained calm in the face of numerous Dragon Gate masters and had skin as hard as iron, could barely withstand Happy’s first round of attacks.
“…”
Huangsha’s face turned pale.
He had thought that by drawing all of Happy’s attacks onto himself, he could buy some time for Jian Piao and create a balanced fight. But the moment the sword light struck his body, even his body as hard as diamond felt unbearable pain.
Not even the attacks of a peak-level Wuwei Realm master had caused such agony!
A single sword strike left a bright red wound on his dark metallic skin…
Though not deep, Huangsha had never been breached in one strike even by a peak-level Wuwei Realm master. The Deathless King ability could reduce damage by 85%, leaving barely any harm to penetrate his tough skin!
But these eighteen sword strikes all injured him.
In an instant, his body was covered in crisscrossing wounds, and his fourth-tier magic weapon also showed obvious damage.
It was too fast!
So fast that Huangsha couldn’t react in time, already overwhelmed by pain.
The sword light was so dense it was dazzling!
In chaos and pain, Huangsha lost all composure. It seemed as if attacks were coming from all directions—any move he made only served to lessen the pain slightly.
“Damn it!” Seeing Huang Sha’s desperate situation and realizing that Happy had completely forgotten about him, Jian Piao gritted his teeth in anger and swung his sword recklessly to block a third of the attacks aimed at Huang Sha.
Seeing this, Happy remained calm and smiled loudly, “Just in time!”
With the activation of “Stars in Motion,” Jian Piao’s attacks were suddenly redirected toward Huang Sha. Instead of reducing the damage, they only added to it, inflicting more wounds on Huang Sha’s body.
At this sight, Jian Piao’s expression changed drastically as he quickly pulled back…
Everything happened so fast that no one else could see clearly. All they saw was Jian Piao turning to join the fight, then shouting as he directed all his sword strikes at Huang Sha before retreating even faster. Many were confused.
“Again!” Happy, as if unharmed, continued to strike with his sword, laughing nonstop as he restricted Huang Sha’s movement and inflicted more and more wounds.
“Vice Hallmaster Huang, ‘Stars in Motion’ is truly formidable. I can’t help you. I’m sorry.”
Jian Piao dared not attack again. He knew that no matter what he did, it would only accelerate Huang Sha’s death under this attack. With a bitter smile, he stepped aside and admitted defeat—this fight was already lost.
Huang Sha remained silent, unable to express his suffering. He was already struggling under Happy’s attacks and had hoped Jian Piao would ease the pressure on him. But now, with his face turning pale, he could only try to buy time, hoping to retain some dignity even in defeat.
But how could Happy let him have his way? Seeing Jian Piao back off, Happy laughed loudly, launched several sword strikes in quick succession, then leaped into the air, raised his sword toward the sky, and with a powerful swing, brought down a thunderous strike filled with incredible thunderous sounds!
Huang Sha’s defenses were undoubtedly astonishing, ranking first in the Central Plains. Even under the relentless bombardment of “Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Style,” he had managed to hold on. But this move relied on attack speed and piercing force. As soon as Happy used it, several thunderclaps erupted in the air, with each explosion increasing the intensity of the sword strikes!
Under such immense pressure, Huang Sha was hit first. Before the sword even reached him, the overwhelming force forced him to freeze in place. For the first time, panic appeared on his face.
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
Amidst the intense thunder, Huang Sha was sent flying backward by a concentrated purple lightning bolt, crashing into the crowd… It knocked over many onlookers and shattered a wall before stopping.
The alley fell into complete silence.
“…” Many people stared palely at the figure who had landed steadily, the joy on their faces fading as they glanced at the spot crushed under the bricks with no sign of life, taking a deep breath in shock.
The battle was over!
“What kind of sword technique was that just now? So domineering…”
“I don’t know, but it seems I saw that lightning slash hit Huang Sha’s shoulder. Tsk tsk… the Immortal Nether King Technique…”
“That fourth-tier demonic weapon will need major repairs.”
Many martial artists whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Kai Xin filled with even greater awe.
“Look quickly—how is Vice Hall Master Huang…” Many First-Class Hall disciples rushed over, hurrying to check the pile of bricks and debris: “Find him!”
The fight seemed to be over.
Jian Piao stood aside, not looking at Huang Sha’s condition. He gave Kai Xin a deep look, completely dismissing from his mind the image of the mysterious man in black he had seen in Yangzhou City.
The person before him was clearly many times stronger than the man in black at Yangzhou’s dock. In front of him, there was no chance of fighting back at all…
Unmatchable!
Jian Piao even began to regret agreeing to ally with the First-Class Hall. He had inadvertently chosen to become an enemy of such a monstrous figure!
Boom!!!
At that moment, a loud noise caught everyone’s attention. Huang Sha, trapped under the debris, stood up covered in dust and blood, with a terrifying wound on his shoulder and half of his body injured—clearly no longer able to fight.
“Get back! I’m not dead yet!”
Huang Sha emerged from the rubble, his face filled with rage, his eyes fierce: “Kai Xin, come again!!”
“Huang Sha!” Jian Piao frowned, about to tell him to stop, but then heard Kai Xin calmly say, “As you wish.”
A destructive sword intent surged rapidly from the alley, and Jian Piao’s expression changed drastically!
