Chapter 1007: Also Known as “Blood Drop”
The moment the Black Iron Heavy Sword descended onto the Life and Death Platform, everyone in Longmen Town who witnessed this scene felt a profound tremor deep in their hearts!
It was as if the Black Iron Heavy Sword wasn’t just planted in the ground but instantly shattered the subtle psychological changes caused by Huang Sha’s earlier words.
At that moment, the Black Iron Heavy Sword pierced deep into everyone’s hearts!
Including Huang Sha, everyone instinctively turned their gaze in the direction the sword came from, toward the figure appearing in the path that had automatically opened.
A figure unarmed yet still commanding awe among all present—proud and upright!
The moment their eyes met that figure, Huang Sha’s pupils unconsciously contracted slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
The momentum he had built up for a counterattack was instantly shattered by that seemingly divine sword strike.
At this very moment, everyone in Longmen Town focused their attention on this man! All the admiration poured onto him the moment his weapon crossed the crowd and landed on the Life and Death Platform! Such presence even made Huang Sha feel an unprecedented tremor in his heart, with an unrivaled fighting spirit surging within him.
Many people stared quietly at that same figure. It seemed as if only this person existed in the world at that moment!
“…”
Countless people held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Watching Happy move forward steadily amidst numerous formidable enemies, seeing his calm and composed demeanor, the masters from various factions hidden in the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
“You’ve finally appeared.”
The only one who could break this silence, this calm, was one person—Huang Sha, the only one in Longmen Town qualified to speak to Happy!
Huang Sha could sense from the eyes and aura of his allies around him that as Happy stepped closer to the Life and Death Platform, the morale of the more than two thousand people here was gradually fading.
Yet the closer Happy got to the platform and the Black Iron Heavy Sword, the stronger his aura became! With this balance shifting, once he stepped onto the platform, the morale of these two thousand people would be completely stripped away by Happy. Naturally, Huang Sha didn’t want such a situation to occur.
Immediately, Huang Sha spoke while appearing ten meters away from Happy in just one step…
Like a sharp sword, it severed the connection between Happy and the aura of the Life and Death Platform!
But Huang Sha soon realized his actions were somewhat futile.
“Is Vice Hallmaster Huang so eager to be the first opponent for Happy on the Life and Death Platform?” As he spoke, Happy showed no sign of stopping, his face bearing a calm, faint smile. “Or do you not want Happy to get his weapon back? Well, lacking a weapon may cause some trouble, but Happy is more curious to see how many of my moves Vice Hallmaster Huang can withstand.” The distance between the two quickly narrowed! Happy’s quick reactions threw Huang Sha into disarray. Their actions and words were perfectly coordinated, as if they were old friends sparring—without the slightest hint of hostility or confrontation. Also, because Happy had no weapon, the First Rank Hall’s response was noticeably slow… By the time they realized Happy had suddenly used the Lightning Step to close in on Vice Hallmaster Huang Sha, many were shocked—despite having no weapon, Happy’s strength was still terrifying. They had left Huang Sha to deal with Happy alone, a man capable of defeating multiple top experts. In the blink of an eye, the two had already clashed. Lightning Step! Riding the Waves, Seeking the Wind! Huang Sha was quick to alert himself and promptly activated his Wuyi Realm lightness skill to maintain distance, while a layer of purple-green flames surged up from around him with a loud “boom.” Dragon Seizing Hand! As soon as Happy made contact, his attack was fierce, leaving no chance for Huang Sha to catch his breath. However, the moment his left hand grasped Huang Sha’s arm, a scorching heat penetrated deep into his bones… At that instant, Happy frowned. His defensive technique had offensive effects, and he also sensed his internal energy suddenly draining rapidly. The moment he came into contact with the flames, the rate of energy loss accelerated significantly! It was somewhat similar to the Silver Fox’s “Red Flame Art,” but clearly at a higher level! “What an excellent technique!” Happy couldn’t help but mutter in admiration. A hint of pride flashed in Huang Sha’s eyes, but it vanished quickly. Although his internal energy drained rapidly after touching the flames, Happy didn’t let go as quickly as he expected. Instead, an inexplicable force rebounded from him, pushing back that strange vital energy that had infiltrated his body. It wasn’t surprising that Vice Hallmaster Huang Sha of the First Rank Hall possessed extraordinary martial skills, but Happy didn’t care… With the “Meridians Transformation Scripture” in hand, he could conquer the world!
The tenth-level version of the “Yijin Jing” was already very close to perfection. A highly resilient periosteum formed automatically within his body. Although Huangsha’s flaming protection was effective, trying to counter the supreme martial arts techniques of the Shaolin Monastery was nothing short of fanciful!
As the “Yijin Jing” operated on its own, the expended internal energy was automatically restored to full strength.
In an instant, Kai Xin struck Huangsha’s chest with a decisive palm strike!
Bang!!
Though the lethality of life-and-death realm martial arts couldn’t pose a threat to Huangsha, the hidden energy sent through the attack still caused him some damage.
Hmph!!
With a groan, Huangsha stepped back, his expression grim.
In battles between masters, victory often hinges on a moment of carelessness. Huangsha had miscalculated Kai Xin’s determination; being caught up close by Kai Xin was already a mistake, and trying to regain balance and turn the tide was clearly unrealistic.
By now, the people of the First-Class Hall had realized what was happening, but Huangsha had already lost the ability to fight back under Kai Xin’s continuous attacks—“Dragon Claw Hand,” “Dragon Seizing Hand,” and “Vajra Demon Subduing Leg.” His internal organs were repeatedly struck by the hidden energy, just within a dozen moves.
Blood spilled from the corners of Huangsha’s mouth… His face was twisted in pain as he staggered step by step toward the Life-and-Death Platform!
“Kai Xin! Let our hall master go!!”
“Attack together!!!” The members of the First-Class Hall, Blood Alliance, and Tianyin Sect finally realized the severity of the situation and charged in angrily.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of clothes tearing through the air, followed by the sound of swords being drawn…
Hundreds of people surrounded them!!
Only those wearing conical hats and silver robes did not act immediately; they remained silent, observing the suddenly chaotic scene ahead.
“Disgraceful!”
“You’re all well-known masters in the martial world! What kind of behavior is this—attacking one person with so many of you?!”
“That’s right, it’s utterly shameless!”
As Huangsha fell into Kai Xin’s grasp and the situation spiraled out of control, martial artists from all directions on the main streets and rooftops cursed in outrage.
Whoosh!!
Kai Xin’s reaction was equally swift.
Amid the chaos, Huangsha, who had abandoned his top-tier magical weapons, dashed forward like lightning, covering over twenty meters before landing heavily on the Life-and-Death Platform near the Black Iron Heavy Sword.
Clang!!!
With a resounding sound, Kai Xin pulled the Black Iron Heavy Sword out of the granite of the Life-and-Death Platform!
With the sword in hand, the people surrounding him seemed to feel a suffocating gust of wind and stepped back together.
“Since you won’t attack, I’ll do it!”
With a cold smile, Happy rushed into the crowd like a storm breaking through waves, full of intensity.
At this moment!
Happy, who had destroyed the Tianmo Branch Hall, the Wudu Gate’s Wandu Formation, and two branches of the Yipin Hall, appeared once again.
……
At the start of the battle, the Yipin Hall already had dozens of corpses lying on the ground!
Using “Lingbo Weibu” in combination with “Mo Hong Mie Shi Jue,” they charged through the crowd like a giant dragon thrashing about.
Wherever the black giant dragon passed, everything was destroyed, leaving a trail of blood!
Many martial arts experts watching from above shook their heads repeatedly:
“The Yipin Hall is going to suffer heavy losses again.”
“They’ve lost two branches yet still choose to confront Happy head-on with such a small force…”
“I don’t know what they’re thinking.”
“Wait!”
“Look what those people are doing!”
As everyone was discussing, some noticed that the silver-clothed figure, who had remained inactive until now, moved as the periphery of the no-man’s-land grew wider. A group of people suddenly split apart and moved around the battlefield, quickly encircling it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, conical hats soared into the air.
The thin white veils were instantly cut into thousands of pieces…
Beneath the torn veils, metallic objects with fierce, gleaming edges appeared—things resembling iron hats with sharp barbs all around—flying and swirling above the battlefield!
It was only then that the mysterious people who had been wearing conical hats revealed their true identities.
“The Assassins’ Hall!”
“It’s people from the Assassins’ Hall!”
“Flying Death Maces!”
“So many…”
Outraged gasps erupted among the crowd.
Yu Cha, who was among them, saw nearly two hundred strange weapons connected by chains flying through the air in overwhelming numbers, and he couldn’t help but look shocked.
“Damn! It’s the Assassins’ Hall’s Flying Death Maces! How is that possible? How can the Assassins’ Hall have so many of them!!”
“What are those?”
Bu Shuai Lao and Ji Mu Xiao Qi stared in confusion at the terrifying scene before them, clearly unaware of what the “Flying Death Maces” were.
Yu Cha looked displeased and didn’t explain right away. Instead, someone nearby couldn’t help but explain: “The Flying Death Maces are a type of demonic weapon…”
“A demonic weapon!”
“That’s right. A demonic weapon that can track and attack its target! Its materials are extremely durable, hard to destroy, and its lethality is astonishing! Although its accuracy isn’t very high for experts, with so many of them… this isn’t just a bunch of Flying Death Maces—it’s an entire Flying Death Formation!!”
“By the way, the Flying Death Mace has another name—‘Blood Drop’!”
