Chapter 947: Fu Tianqiong

In another world, Happy tried to stay low-key and patient in order to deal with Yipin Hall, only striking a decisive move at the last moment to drive them to the resource-poor regions beyond the western frontier.
But here, both sides knew each other well! Since Yipin Hall dared to do such despicable things, Happy naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to give them a slap.
Under the cold and resentful gazes of Yipin Hall’s members, she completed the deal with her friends from the Merchant Alliance right away!
“Hmph.”
The leader of Yipin Hall was a top-tier expert, a true master of Yipin Hall. Seeing Happy complete the deal and obtain the “Demonic Hong World-Annihilation Art,” though disapproving, he said in a gloomy tone, “If you’re willing to join Yipin Hall, I could use a lackey. For a secret technique like this, you can have as many as you want.”
“Friend, if nothing goes wrong, I’ll bring you the gold for the Dark Iron Heavy Sword by evening. Please take good care of it,” Happy replied, completely ignoring the arrogant and disdainful Yipin Hall members. She turned to the nearby stall and said to the vendor,
“Don’t worry. People from my Xifeng Tower always keep their word. I’ll hold the Dark Iron Heavy Sword for you. Our leader said she’ll cover any extra cost no matter how high Yipin Hall bids, so Brother Happy won’t have to spend a single penny more.”
“Thank you.”
Happy chuckled, bowed, and left.
The faces of Yipin Hall’s members turned even darker.
Happy paid them no attention at all, treating their mockery and provocation as wind passing by her ears. Being ignored in front of so many players made their faces burn with anger!
“Happy!!”
“Stop right there!!”
“I’m waiting outside the city. Those who’re upset can follow me out.” Hearing their angry shouts, Happy replied without turning around.
Many players around the market were shocked!
Happy, who had reached the realm of life and death, was now openly defying the challenges of Yipin Hall’s experts after a year and a half, even seeming willing to fight outside the city. This immediately attracted the attention and intense curiosity of countless players, who eagerly gathered around.
A bunch of troublemakers!
“…Bastard.”
“Leader Fu, what should we do now?”
A few Yipin Hall disciples whispered, their expressions changing.
Leader Mengyun had already given orders not to let his disciples confront Happy head-on, especially in public. But the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

Happy readily accepted the polite words, yet still provoked in front of so many people. If they continued to endure it, who knows what outsiders would think of them? They might even be mocked for fearing Happy, a worthless man who had been bedridden for a year and a half. In their eyes, defeating a few outer disciples of the Blood Alliance meant nothing at all… Those Blood Alliance disciples, at the Liberation level, weren’t even well-known. “Today, I’m going to teach this kid a lesson!” Master Fu sneered coldly. “As for the Hall Master, I’m afraid he won’t want us to lose the face of the First-Class Hall either. Let’s go!” With a final stern shout, they indeed followed Happy outside the city. Happy’s provocation and the First-Class Hall’s presence greatly stimulated many martial artists in the market who only wanted chaos. One after another, they followed, sending messages and gathering friends. By the time they reached outside the capital city, a huge crowd of thousands surged out, blocking all passing players. The momentum was immense, and it seemed they were determined to expand their influence even further. “Has Happy officially challenged the First-Class Hall?” “Damn! This can’t be true?! He just woke up a few days ago!” “Exactly. Even if he acquired some ultimate skills during that incident on Songshan, he couldn’t possibly use them this quickly…” “Hehe, but this time it’s Master Fu Tianqiong, the real master of the First-Class Hall! A master at the Liberation level, equipped with four-stage magic weapons and a top-tier divine weapon—completely different from those he faced before!” “Happy’s hit a wall this time!” “Why so impulsive?” “It’s said the First-Class Hall started it, and Happy is furious.” “Sigh, this is going to be interesting.” Outside the city, chaos had already ensued! Happy and the people from the First-Class Hall walked half a mile before stopping, quickly surrounded by curious martial artists, creating a sizable open space. As more and more onlookers gathered, Happy glanced indifferently at the few members of the First-Class Hall across from him. “Planning to attack all three at once? A bit difficult, but no problem. I’ve already experienced the First-Class Hall’s tactics a year and a half ago. There were even more people back then, and I can’t even count how many I killed.” “…” The faces of the First-Class Hall members changed. Hearing Happy’s words, the players around them immediately became excited. Their eyes shone, and many started recording on the spot, muttering, “Insider info!” “Absolute insider info!” “Haha, we’re going to make a fortune this time.”

Among the crowd, there were also many players who didn’t have a good impression of Yipin Tang, who immediately showed disdain toward those few people. There had been quite a few similar rumors about Happy in the past.
“…You all go down.”
Fu Tianqiong gave a cold order. Although his subordinates standing by his side looked imposing, in such a situation, it easily gave the impression of the few bullying the many.
“Hmph.”
“Master Fu, this guy is good at talking. Don’t give him another chance to waste words.”
“Don’t worry. The master values face, and so do I. I won’t give him any chance to delay things. In this battle, I’ll make him fully understand…” Fu Tianqiong stepped forward two steps, staring intently at Happy with piercing eyes, and spat out cruel words: “Your era is long over!”
“No wonder you’re just a sect master while Mengyun is the hall master. Do you know why?” Happy wasn’t angry; instead, he spoke calmly: “Because Mengyun rarely speaks when dealing with someone—he acts secretly and kills them in one strike. You… talk too much.”
“Sharp-tongued!!”
How could Fu Tianqiong compete with Happy in terms of words? Moreover, Happy immediately brought up Mengyun, speaking in a condescending tone. Filled with anger, Fu Tianqiong stopped talking and drew his long sword. Its sharp blade, adorned with gorgeous illusions, carved clear grooves in the ground as it rushed toward Happy in an instant.
“…”
Happy remained calm, not even shifting his shoulders by half a step.
The blade flashed past him.
“You play this child’s trick quite well.” As he spoke, he even patted the corner of his clothes.
“…”
Fu Tianqiong was actually quite smart. Knowing that Happy had amazing close-combat skills and that swordsmanship might not give him an advantage, he didn’t try to get closer and instead planned to overwhelm Happy with his sword techniques.
But Happy seemed very experienced. Not only did he refuse to engage, but he also mocked him with words…
The blade that missed him only emphasized his calmness and composure, making Fu Tianqiong seem somewhat foolish. If this continued, Fu Tianqiong wondered if the onlookers would look at him with disdain.
“…”
He stopped talking immediately and silently moved forward, his long sword rapidly forming layers of sword nets in front of him, like a fierce, formed wolf, charging at Happy with fierce momentum.
“Now this looks more like it.”
Happy stepped forward, facing the interlocking wolf-like blades and Fu Tianqiong without fear…
“Hmph!!”
A mysterious circular energy shield quickly appeared around Fu Tianqiong’s body, slightly indented at the bottom as if under some attack, yet it continued charging toward Happy without slowing down.

“Haha! Your hidden energy is amazing—can it really break through my Hunyuan Body?! Die!!” As Fu Tianqiong roared with laughter, a devastating sword strike instantly enveloped Kai Xin! But his laughter soon ceased… The sword light condensed into several points, and at the moment of maximum attack power, Kai Xin’s sarcastic smile was torn apart by the sword light, his expression turning pale. The sword strike hit empty air!! The countless martial artists watching seemed to witness something utterly incredible—Kai Xin, who had been caught in the sword light and on the verge of being pierced, somehow managed to evade Fu Tianqiong’s long sword in a bizarre and perilous manner, appearing right beside him. At that instant! Fu Tianqiong was exhausted, with no new strength to muster, as he watched helplessly as Kai Xin punched him hard in the chest. The circular protective shield trembled slightly; although the impact on his body was minimal, the subsequent force penetrated straight into Fu Tianqiong’s body. Although distant hidden energy could be easily blocked by the shield, a close-range punch could penetrate the opponent’s body the moment its force was neutralized! Bang!! Fu Tianqiong’s body curled slightly. A series of attacks erupted rapidly from Kai Xin’s hands! Punch techniques are always the fastest among all martial arts, especially in close combat… This was even more true for Dragon Claw Hand, one of Shaolin’s ultimate skills. A barrage of grabs, strikes, and hidden energy attacks rained down on Fu Tianqiong, who was filled with fear and barely able to muster any strength. Every time he tried to gather his vital energy, his arm was seized by his opponent, causing him to lose balance due to the sudden force, only to be struck by hidden energy, taking over a dozen punches in an instant. Although his Hunyuan Body still had most of its defenses, his internal organs were in chaos, displaced, and he was bleeding profusely. The spectators, who had started cheering, gradually fell silent… They realized that Kai Xin’s martial arts were only at the Life and Death realm. Though highly skilled, their attack power wasn’t strong, and they struggled greatly against the protection of the Liberation Realm, putting them at a severe disadvantage. Yet, even so, Kai Xin managed to leave Fu Tianqiong utterly helpless and in a sorry state with just one encounter—such strength was far beyond what an ordinary first-rate expert could possess. As for the people from Yipin Hall, their expressions changed repeatedly as they watched from the crowd… Though they wanted to rush out to save Master Fu, there were many powerful experts present. Although intervening forcefully could save him, it might damage Yipin Hall’s reputation, and Fu Tianqiong might not even be grateful.

Because this is a one-on-one fair battle!
“Get lost!!!”
Just as Fu Tianqiong was about to be tortured to death by Kai Xin, he suddenly let out a fierce roar! A layer of deathly gray light burst from Hunyuan’s protective barrier, and a powerful force sent Kai Xin flying.
“Die!!!”
Covered in blood, Fu Tianqiong rushed at Kai Xin with ferocity, launching a desperate counterattack.
