Chapter 950: Meng Yun’s Instructions

The entrance to the Netherworld was a canyon passage shrouded in grayish-black miasma. The surrounding mountains were steep and treacherous, making climbing difficult. Players always entered and exited through this canyon passage, with a constant stream of people. The Hunter Family was right—this place was indeed very popular, and it was full of players with remarkable skills and presence.
But…
At this moment, the atmosphere at the entrance to the Netherworld seemed slightly tense.
A dozen elite First-Class Hall fighters, fully armed, blocked both sides of the canyon passage. They stared at the groups preparing to enter the Netherworld, scanning each person’s face. If they saw someone wearing a conical hat, they would make them take it off to take a look—except for female players.
Seeing this, it wasn’t hard to guess that the people arranged here by the First-Class Hall were there to “welcome” him.
These people appeared extremely calm and had sharp eyes. Though they spoke little and were in small numbers, the passing players didn’t dare offend them. They obediently took off their hats, clearly recognizing them as influential figures in the Netherworld—or perhaps in the entire martial world!
“Finally, something decent.”
Xiao Kai sneered. Under the watchful eyes of the Hunter Family members, he directly took off his conical hat, dismounted from his horse, put away his horse token, and walked toward the group.
Sure enough!
Xiao Kai, who deviated from the main crowd, quickly caught the attention of the First-Class Hall fighters. Several of those leaning against the sides, doing nothing, immediately stepped forward with serious expressions.
Seeing this, other First-Class Hall fighters near the entrance also focused on Xiao Kai, stopping paying attention to those entering the Netherworld. They surrounded him from both sides with varied expressions.
“He’s mine.”
One of the First-Class Hall fighters, a young man, swiftly drew two daggers from his waist. With a bloodthirsty glance, he licked the blades before suddenly rushing at Xiao Kai at full speed, without any warning.
Unlike his previous encounters with Fu Tianqiong, who had talked a lot, this man had no intention of talking. His eyes burned with pure murderous intent.
The message conveyed by his gaze was already strong enough…
“…”
Faced with the young man charging at him at full speed, Xiao Kai remained calm, maintaining his steady pace, as if he hadn’t noticed the daggers in the man’s hands or the fierce killing intent in his eyes.
The young man rushed forward over sixty meters, creating distance from the other First-Class Hall fighters behind him—but the distance to Xiao Kai was rapidly shrinking.
The naked murderous intent alarmed many nearby players, who stopped in surprise and stared over.
Hahaha!!!

As the young man rushed into Happy’s ten-meter range, he accelerated once more, his body leaving behind layers of afterimages, while the dagger had already disappeared from his hand. His sprint was perfectly timed, allowing him to dodge Happy’s silently unleashed hidden energy. Happy quickly assessed the opponent—his strength was greater than Fu Tianqiong’s, at least in terms of precision and timing. His ability to evade and conceal his strength was also quite good. He used a double-bladed weapon and relied on close-quarters assassination techniques… It seemed the opponent was quite confident in his close-quarters combat skills. Unfortunately, however, he chose to confront Happy using her strengths. No matter how skillful he was with his double-bladed weapon, Happy never liked to fight against someone’s strengths—it was her principle! Without even glancing at him, she used the Dragon Shape move to disrupt his focus, then swiftly grabbed the “venomous snake” he was about to use with her Dragon Seizing Hand. “You…” The Dragon Shape move and Dragon Seizing Hand were used in sequence for the first time in this world. The opponent let out a cry but was too late to react. The strangely curved short blade pierced his neck with a thud. The poor, confident guy was killed instantly by Happy’s lightning-fast actions—using his own weapon. Only Happy saw everything clearly… Pushing aside the opponent’s body, Happy resumed her leisurely pace, calmly moving forward toward the experts of Yipin Hall. Bang! The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground made the people of Yipin Hall pause for a moment… They stared solemnly at the young man with the double-bladed weapon whose figure was gradually fading. The mockery and scorn on a few of their faces stiffened instantly. After witnessing this silent clash to death, everyone around them instinctively remained silent, not daring to make even the slightest sound… They stood there like wooden posts; even the hunters from the Hunter Family who had chased after them held their breath, afraid to breathe. A tense and solemn atmosphere hung between Yipin Hall and Happy… The people of Yipin Hall stopped, but Happy continued walking without pause, heading toward the entrance to the sinister place. The distance between the two sides grew smaller. As Happy approached, an increasingly intense aura built up rapidly, her overall presence soaring. This was the aura she had accumulated after killing one person, and it grew even stronger as the people of Yipin Hall hesitated. Once it reached a certain intensity, someone would surely be unable to withstand it… And indeed!

Happy had taken less than ten steps when two men from Yipin Tang finally realized that their actions were not only helping to build Happy’s momentum but also further strengthening their own pressure on him—a clear sign of weakness.
“Go!”
The two exchanged a glance and dashed off to the left and right.
“Too bad!”
Happy thought to himself it was a pity…
If those men had stayed any longer, his momentum would have grown even more terrifying, forcing everyone from Yipin Tang to act at once.
Forcing only two of them to attack wasn’t satisfactory.
But!
Since they were here, he would kill them.
Neither the bunch of amateurs from the Blood Alliance nor Fu Tianqiong, who died outside the capital city, had made him truly feel Meng Yun and Xue Yi’s power.
But now…
He finally felt something—a hint that Yipin Tang was taking him seriously, that Meng Yun’s gaze was upon him.
This was a good sign!
Happy was ready to use this battle to establish his authority and send Meng Yun his first gift upon meeting him, so he naturally intended to go all out without hiding anything.
The two men approaching him—one wielding a knife, the other with hands behind his back, carrying a pouch of throwing knives at his waist—sent the sharp sound of flying knives through the air even before they arrived!
The knife-shaped formation blocked three possible escape directions. The throwing knives flew back and forth at varying speeds, dazzling the eyes; but the real threat was the black blade’s glow!
With a gust of wind, the black blade tore a trench across the ground and rushed toward Happy…
A deadly trap hidden within the seemingly ordinary situation.
The two men worked in perfect sync, their combined moves forming an impenetrable death trap with no chance of evasion, causing the members of the Hunter Clan to exclaim in shock:
“Be careful!”
Seeing Happy stop in panic without trying to dodge, the expert with throwing knives smirked. Several butterfly darts suddenly accelerated, weaving into a deadly net that instantly covered the target;
Yet…
At the moment the butterfly darts sped up, Happy stepped forward. At the same time, he twisted his body, causing all the flying knives and butterfly darts to miss completely… they all hit the ground before being blown away by the sharp blade’s glow.
The two men’s pupils constricted!
They never expected their surefire move to fail completely. At the same time, they noticed Happy, who had suddenly twisted in a strange way, accelerating rapidly.
The distance between them shrank quickly.
Not daring to delay, the expert with throwing knives raised his hands swiftly…
This time, the man with the knife failed to follow up, as Happy had disrupted their rhythm.

By the time the sword master realized what was happening, he noticed that Kai Xin had skillfully and mysteriously avoided four hidden weapons in a row;
Whoa!!!
The black sword light reappeared.
It was too late…
As soon as he locked onto his target and attacked, Kai Xin quickly and decisively shifted sideways and charged forward, getting within ten meters of the hidden weapon master.
“Stop him!”
The hidden weapon master rushed backward with a swift step.
But as he stepped down, a fierce dark energy surged from the ground into his body, causing him to spit out black blood. The hidden weapon he tried to shoot also nearly slipped from his grasp.
Kai Xin’s prediction was correct.
Although these people were strong, each excelled in different areas—not all were well-versed in dark energy, and not all had the protective ability of Fu Tianqiong.
The hidden weapon master was better at hiding behind others to attack, with weak self-protection skills and needing protection. Once his dark energy was unleashed, it would take effect immediately.
However, the sword master clearly shared an extraordinary understanding with the hidden weapon user. Seeing the latter injured, he stepped forward to block Kai Xin, with layers of sword light blooming like black lotuses—dangerous yet beautiful.
It wasn’t an offensive move…
When the hidden weapon master was injured, he chose defense decisively!
“Interesting.”
Kai Xin realized the opponent had a clear division of roles…
They attacked together when in the advantage; when at a disadvantage, one defended while the other attacked—two fists can’t match four.
“Break!”
Unfazed, Kai Xin took advantage of the hidden weapon master’s inability to recover quickly, focusing on the “black lotus” in front of him and boldly cutting through it.
The latter’s sword light grew even stronger!
But as a force struck the blade head-on, the sword master felt numbness in his arm, his pupils widened as he sensed a wind-like sound rushing past him…
A pained groan came from behind him!
After a brief standoff, he turned to see the hidden weapon user with his neck grabbed by Kai Xin, his head tilted to the side, his face quickly blurring!
Unreasonably, a strong sense of chill arose in the hearts of the First Rank Hall masters.
Kai Xin’s choices were too rational, his tactics too ruthless—leaving no chance for the opponent!
He hadn’t dealt with the sword master right away because the latter’s protection had already activated. If Kai Xin had hesitated even half a second, the situation might not have been as it was now!
He Yi’s sword skill was indeed formidable, his protection even slightly stronger than Fu Tianqiong’s!
With the hidden weapon master dead and no one left to hold him back, He Yi himself lost confidence—because he wasn’t sure he could survive against an opponent who could break through his sword technique in an instant.
With a single lift of his hand, he threw the corpse high into the air, sending it straight at He Yi…

Happy, He Yi, and the remaining top experts from Yipin Tang launched their attacks almost at the same time!
