Chapter 1088: The True Meaning of the Useless “Dragon Tail Swing”

“Hand over the stone tablet in your hands, and I’ll spare your life.”
The Evil King immediately abandoned the idea of chasing after the mysterious woman who had saved Shi Feixuan the moment he saw Happy and the white stone tablet in his arms. His gaze shifted to Happy, and as he spoke, he stepped forward, unleashing a overwhelming pressure that enveloped Happy.
“…”
Happy ignored him, glancing briefly at the distant figure disappearing into the horizon. Under the Evil King’s fierce pressure, the “Nine Yang Divine Skill” and “Meridian Transformation Art” automatically activated, generating a powerful aura from within him…
Happy used his actions to convey his unyielding will and choice to the Evil King.
With a darkened gaze, the Evil King moved.
Hmph!
Thunderous roars filled the air!
But Happy calmly stepped to the left, drawing his Dragon Slaying Sword, its golden blade light just in time to block the Evil King’s silent palm strike.
“Not bad.” The Evil King’s quick palm strike failed, and he sneered, “But it’s too early for you to try to challenge this king with such tricks. You’re still too young.” His palm shadows covered the void, displaying the might and prowess of a peak Mythical Realm warrior.
Yet…
All of this would indeed overwhelm ordinary players, but unfortunately, the Evil King was facing Happy, who had already experienced such tactics before.
With a mere gesture, the Evil King’s energy moved, and Happy could instantly detect it. His Genuine Qi field quickly enveloped his body as he advanced, slashing forward.
Bang!!
The black palm shadow struck the Genuine Qi field, taking away little energy, and it recovered almost instantly.
The Evil King was shocked!
“Who are you, a follower of that mad monk?”
Amidst his shock, Happy already launched his Dragon Seizing Hand.
The Evil King froze for a moment, then a piercing finger strike hit his chest, followed by a swift and dazzling blade strike…
Boom!!
At last, protective flames erupted around the Evil King, but like a flash in the pan, the simultaneous finger strike and blade strike instantly shattered them.
“So… you’re from my demonic sect.” The Evil King pushed Happy back with a palm strike and landed twenty meters away. His eyes, filled with confusion and shock, scanned Happy as he spoke words that left Happy extremely frustrated.
“I’m a Shaolin disciple.”
After rolling his eyes, Happy quickly realized he had said the wrong thing. With a cold snort, he added, “The Murong family and Shaolin can both be considered my schools. But your so-called demonic sect? I have no idea what you mean.”
“Nonsense!”
The Evil King sneered.

“Can Shaolin even be considered your sect? You, a disciple of the Murong family, no matter how close your relationship with Shaolin is, how could you make those conservative baldheads hand over Shaolin’s most precious scriptures? Ridiculous!! Aside from those in our demonic sect who act as they please, who would dare give the ‘Yijin Jing’ to someone unrelated to Shaolin?”
“……”
Kai Xin fell silent instantly.
He finally understood why the Evil King called him a member of the demonic sect. By inheriting the teachings of the Mad Monk, he was, to some extent, already his successor. And before becoming a monk, the Mad Monk had indeed been part of the demonic sect—the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
“Since you’ve mastered the ‘Yijin Jing’ to such a high level, and with that stubborn guy backing you, I won’t make things difficult for you…”
At this point, the Evil King seemed determined to back off. With a hint of reluctance, he glanced at the white stone tablet in Kai Xin’s arms, then turned and left without another word.
Though his words sounded grand, Kai Xin knew that after witnessing his mastery of the ‘Yijin Jing’ and the ‘Jiuyang Shen Gong’, the Evil King realized he couldn’t kill him, so he chose to retreat and look for another target…
“Members of the demonic sect must be eliminated! Senior Shi! Please stay!”
Of course, Kai Xin wouldn’t let the Evil King cause trouble for Xiao Yu Yan. As the Evil King turned to leave, Kai Xin shouted, activated his Illusion Demon Movement, instantly boosting his speed to its limit, and rushed after him.
“Brave of you.”
Without turning around, the Evil King sent a palm strike through the bushes, creating a trench as it headed toward Kai Xin. Without hesitation, Kai Xin activated the Dragon Tail Move.
Boom!
The moment the palm strike hit him, it became an accelerating force for the Dragon Tail Move. Kai Xin writhed through the air like a dragon, launching a fierce kick straight at the Evil King.
But it was at that very moment—
The instant he kicked the Evil King—Kai Xin suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
The Dragon Tail Move…
This was the true essence of the Dragon Tail Move!! The secret behind the third move of the True Dragon Ten Styles.
The stronger the enemy’s attack, the more his body became a vessel, absorbing the enemy’s power and reflecting the damage back at them—the Dragon Tail Move inherited the enemy’s lethality and speed.
Previously, he had used the Dragon Tail Move either because the enemy was too weak, making it ineffective and unable to display the same mysterious effects as moves like “Catching the Dragon Hand” or “Little Dragon Form”… or because their strengths were evenly matched, preventing him from experiencing the true power of the move.
But this time!
Kai Xin finally uncovered its hidden attribute.
Bang!

That kick accidentally sent the Evil King stumbling half a step back. He steadied himself and stared in disbelief at the footprint Happy had left on his chest: “So that’s how it is.” Discovering a different use and mystery behind the True Dragon Ten Styles, Happy even forgot to press on after landing. With a face full of ecstasy, he stopped and murmured to himself. He had always felt that the Dragon Seizing Hand and the Little Dragon Form were more practical than the latter two styles, but it seemed he had never uncovered the secrets of those two. “I wonder what the Dragon Coiling effect is like.” At that thought, Happy suddenly felt a strong urge to rediscover the mysteries of the fourth style of the True Dragon Ten Styles—because the third style, “Dragon Swinging Tail,” was incredibly effective against strong enemies. Used properly, it could not only shield one from an enemy’s attack but also turn the attack against them. If used when the enemy unleashed their ultimate move… its power was formidable! As he pondered… suddenly, the Evil King turned to run again. Happy, who already possessed the Iron Muscles Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Art, was a formidable opponent, and the sudden attack had made the Evil King feel a slight threat and unease. How could he stay and fight against Happy? Thinking that the person who had taken Shi Feixuan was getting farther away, he didn’t even bother using his palm wind and turned to flee at full speed. Realizing the power of “Dragon Swinging Tail,” Happy, filled with joy, refused to let the Evil King escape. Without hesitation, he rushed after him at top speed. As the distance between them grew, Happy quickly took out the Leopard Essence Pill from his Qiankun Bag… His entire body was brimming with vital energy! Unhesitatingly, he used all his strength to chase after the fleeing Evil King—after all, his spiritual perception could now reach up to 200 meters away. It was impossible for the Evil King to get away in a short time. … The Evil King and Happy moved at ghostly speeds, but Xiao Yuyan, who was at the front, wasn’t as fast because she still had to carry someone’s weight. Once they reached the main road and she summoned her mount, Shi Feixuan slowly regained consciousness amidst the bumps. “He’s chasing after us.” Shi Feixuan’s words scared Xiao Yuyan greatly. She naturally knew who “he” referred to. When she received this temporary mission, she was told that she had to escape the Evil King’s pursuit within 24 hours. If caught, both Shi Feixuan’s and her life would be in danger, and the mission would fail. Shi Feixuan’s life had nothing to do with her, but Xiao Yuyan was very worried that the stone tablet in Shi Feixuan’s hands might fall into the Evil King’s possession. That stone tablet was crucial for Happy to strengthen his power here!

Upon hearing Shi Feixuan’s warning, Xiao Yuyan’s expression changed. After pondering for a few seconds, she quickly sent two messages via homing pigeon, one to Kai Xin and the other to Yin Hu. In the message to Kai Xin, she detailed the entire mission she had been assigned to and explained her current situation, mentioning that she would head to the nearest city. She knew Kai Xin would surely follow, and by giving him a location, he might be able to take a shortcut to catch up… As for the message to Yin Hu, since she was now the legitimate mistress of the Mu family, it would be good to mobilize some of the Mu family’s experts to intercept and buy time. Yin Hu replied promptly: “I’ve already informed the leaders of several nearby sects! I told them to send people to assist immediately! The members of the Xiyi Gate, Xifeng Tower, and Fengyu Alliance have also received the message! If you have flares with you, use them now to let them pinpoint your location.” “Okay.” Xiao Yuyan didn’t forget to remind him: “It’s the Evil King Shi Zhixuan who’s chasing me. Tell everyone to be extremely careful, not to get too close, or else too many lives will be lost…” “Understood. I’ll instruct them to treat this mission as a contribution from the Mu family team…” Yin Hu knew that Xiao Yuyan had been on a high-level covert mission lately and understood the severity of the situation, so he quickly contacted the leaders of various sects. … As expected! After Yin Hu’s reply, the figure of the Evil King and his uniquely powerful presence appeared on the horizon behind them. His sinister gaze and ghostly speed made all the players on the road hurriedly avoid him. “No good, the Evil King is too fast.” Shi Feixuan’s keen senses still remained. After glancing back, she closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, then said to Xiao Yuyan, who was supporting her, “He has special tracking methods. We can’t escape… And at the speed of a horse, carrying the two of us, we definitely won’t make it to the Fuyuan Inn. You’d better let me down.” “No.” Xiao Yuyan naturally refused: “We’ll be in the city soon, and then someone will surely stop him.” As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Feixuan’s face turned red: “The Evil King is now in a frenzied state. No one can stop him. We can’t let him enter the city and harm everyone. If that happens, I’d rather die at his hands!” “…” Xiao Yuyan was speechless. The system warned that she couldn’t use entering the city as a way to escape the Evil King, otherwise Shi Feixuan would definitely leave, resulting in the mission failing as well. Thinking that Kai Xin might have taken a shortcut to the city, Xiao Yuyan became anxious and quickly sent another message to inform him.

Just then, Xiao Yuyan noticed a group of people appearing on the horizon ahead, scattering in several different directions. Her eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she took out a signal rocket from her Qiankun Bag and shot it into the air! Boom!!! With a loud explosion, brilliant red flames shone brightly in the sky…
