Chapter 1066: The Pursuit by Four Mythical Realm Experts

The imperial court’s experts arrived late!
The first to appear was the expert from the Jinyiwei, “Zhu Que” — handsome with a delicate face and quite young. As he appeared on the roof, he glanced disdainfully at the emperor nearby, who radiated a powerful sword aura. With a flick of his hand, a cold light flashed, shattering the glazed tiles on the roof. Like an arrow leaving the bow, it silently pierced toward Happy in the crowd.
When he was about twenty meters away from Happy, a formidable aura emanating from a being in the Mythical Realm burst forth from his body…
Whoosh!
Zhu Que had a cold demeanor, but his swordsmanship was astonishingly intricate. In a flash of sword light, seven sword blossoms appeared before Happy.
The disciples of the First-Class Hall around him showed signs of relief and joy at having escaped death:
“Finally!”
“Damn! I thought I’d die here too…”
Those closest to Happy quickly retreated, unwilling to stay near him even for a moment.
It’s no wonder.
In less than three minutes, Happy had killed nearly three thousand members of the First-Class Hall… The ruins of the Xifeng Tower were covered in the blood and corpses of its disciples.
Now that a Mythical Realm expert had arrived, they knew… their mission was complete! Staying any longer would only mean certain death.
But what they didn’t expect was…
As the seven sword blossoms fluttered through the air, they shattered several afterimages.
“The imperial court’s people have arrived; it’s time to enter the second phase.” Avoiding the first wave of attacks, Happy swiftly moved dozens of meters away.
This time, he didn’t pursue the members of the First-Class Hall again. His figure flashed continuously as he rushed dozens of meters deeper into the Xifeng Tower…
Several disciples of the First-Class Hall were already terrified. Hearing the wind-like sound behind them, they trembled, thinking they were about to die. But to their surprise, as the sound of clothes brushing through the air passed by, Happy didn’t pause at all and kept moving.
At first, they were relieved, but then they cried out in shock:
“He’s trying to escape!”
“Damn it! Those in front… stop him!!”
The First-Class Hall, already demoralized by Happy’s attacks, saw him fleeing deeper into the Xifeng Tower like the wind, and they became restless again. Driven by some unknown impulse and strength, some of them stopped and turned around…
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
They carefully threw handfuls of hidden weapons. But facing these weapons that couldn’t even breach his defenses, Happy casually activated his true energy field. The countless hidden weapons lost their momentum the moment they reached him and fell lifelessly to the ground behind him…

“Damn it!”
“A bunch of cowards!”
“Stop him! If he gets away, where will Yipin Tang’s reputation go?”
“Don’t let our brothers’ blood be in vain!”
The disciples of Yipin Tang were filled with fury, thousands roaring in anger!
Under the pressure of most of them turning back to chase after Happy, a group of terrified Yipin Tang disciples gritted their teeth, retrieved their hidden weapons, and rushed at Happy without hesitation.
That’s right!
If they also chose to retreat, with Happy’s swift movement skills, even if they couldn’t escape the pursuit of the imperial experts, they could still break through the city’s defenses and flee using their strong defenses! In that case, the sacrifice of thousands of brothers would mean nothing.
A group of people were willing to risk their lives here!
…
Happy continued to observe coldly the movements of the Yipin Tang disciples ahead, listening to the growing shouts and curses from behind, staying silent and low-key.
“Damn!”
“Stop right now!” Another group of Yipin Tang disciples charged back!
There weren’t many of them, but about two hundred of them together made a pretty impressive sight, looking densely packed.
Yet for Happy, this number wasn’t enough.
His spiritual senses scanned the surroundings!
Noticing the top experts who had remained low-key and not participating in the direct attack behind the crowd, a barely noticeable smirk appeared on his lips as he suddenly accelerated.
“He doesn’t dare fight!”
“He’s running left! Stop him!”
Seeing that Happy didn’t even have the courage to stop and fight, the morale of Yipin Tang grew even stronger, and more people, inspired, rushed forward while shouting.
Zhuque still closely followed behind Happy, but all of his attacks were dodged by Happy using Lingbo Weibu and Xiaolongxing.
The ruins of Xifeng Tower became lively again!
However, the shouts outside gradually faded as many people stood on the rooftops, watching from above. Seeing Happy’s seemingly foolish tactics and the movements of Yipin Tang’s forces, they realized something and quietly stopped talking.
“The people of Yipin Tang are too blinded by their own actions; this time, they seem doomed…” Wu Kuo stood on the edge of the roof, watching as Yipin Tang’s men were drawn back by Happy’s misleading signal, showing excitement and anticipation alongside their comrades behind them.
“Should we send a messenger to Bai Xiaosheng now to have Fengling ready?” someone suggested.
Wu Kuo suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, remembering that the main purpose of their visit was to take Fengling away from danger and back to Bai Xiaosheng’s residence. His eyes lit up as he looked at Yidi curiously.
“It’s not time yet.”

As Yi Di answered, his gaze shifted to the street not far to the left, his brows slightly furrowing.
Wu Kuo was shocked. Following Yi Di’s line of sight, he saw an old man in coarse cloth, holding a flintlock gun, standing on a rooftop nearby. The old man’s eyes were fixed on the crowd below, with a rather inconspicuous plaque hanging from his waist…
Seeing this man, Wu Kuo couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Another expert at the Mythical Realm!
The Golden Blade Catcher from the Six Gates!
He now understood what Yi Di meant by “it’s not yet the right time.”
Facing one expert at the Mythical Realm, Happy could still carry out his killing plan with ease. But what if he had to face two such experts at once?
Happy’s situation suddenly became extremely precarious…
…
The remaining thousand-plus members of Yipin Tang quickly gathered together again.
Happy had originally planned to wait for the right moment and opportunity, but suddenly sensed a sharp cold light falling on him. His keen instincts immediately led him to locate the Golden Blade Catcher from the Six Gates.
No more delay!
Although Happy realized the newcomer was only an ordinary expert in the middle stage of the Mythical Realm, continuing to delay might bring in a third or fourth expert, making things worse. He had to act immediately!
His dark iron heavy sword was swung again!
With his Lightning Step technique, he generated a field of true vital energy, ignoring Zhuque’s attacks as if they didn’t exist, and charged headlong into Yipin Tang’s crowd.
The bloody scene from before played out once again!
Charging forward, he knocked down hundreds of Yipin Tang disciples in an instant.
The disciples were once again terrified by Happy’s fierce demeanor…
But today clearly wasn’t their lucky day.
Just as a chill rose from behind them, a resounding, righteous roar came from afar:
“Demon!”
The roar of the expert at the Mythical Realm echoed from the sky. With his powerful internal energy, his voice boomed like thunder, clearly reaching every ear within several miles.
Seeing Happy commit more atrocities in the capital, the Golden Blade Catcher from the Six Gates could no longer hold back. With a roar, he flew down from the rooftop, rushing into the crowd with a pungent smell of smoke!
The appearance of the second expert at the Mythical Realm undoubtedly gave Yipin Tang’s men immense confidence and morale:
“Haha! Here comes the Golden Blade Catcher!”
“Brothers! Attack!”
“Let’s see how he avoids this disaster!”
The crowd became wildly excited, as if energized by adrenaline.
But before the two experts at the Mythical Realm could join forces, at least two hundred people had already fallen under Happy’s dark iron heavy sword.

The Golden Blade Constable from the Six Gates suddenly closed the distance, surrounding Zhuque from front and back, while the smoke gun descended from the sky, emitting a blazing fire.
Zhuque’s sword slashes were relentless!
With these two powerful beings at the Mythical Realm joining forces, even an Emperor would couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat at the sight.
“Golden Body Arhat!”
As their attacks neared, Kai Xin made a decision that caught everyone by surprise…
He dismissed his Immortal Body and True Vital Energy field, and a golden metallic sheen instantly covered his entire body.
“Another secret technique?”
The Emperor, Wu Kuo, and others, including the top experts of the First Rank Hall hidden in the shadows, quickly realized that Kai Xin was using a defensive secret technique to overcome this crisis at the lowest cost.
Although the life-and-death defensive skill “Arhat Body” was no longer among the mainstream defensive techniques used by top experts in the martial world, its secret techniques were still frequently employed and could provide excellent protection or even turn the tide in certain situations.
When activated, the Golden Body Arhat could significantly reduce the damage taken. With Kai Xin’s defenses, he suffered almost no damage under the attacks of Mythical Realm experts.
But…
Taking advantage of the immense power of the two Mythical Realm experts, Kai Xin rushed like a cannonball into the densest area of the First Rank Hall’s crowd!
Whoosh!
Wind Filling the Sky!!
The people of the First Rank Hall didn’t even have time to react. Kai Xin went from being flung around helplessly to unleashing a terrifying attack force that swept through everything in its path! Chaos ensued!
Even the top expert who had been hiding at the back of the crowd couldn’t escape this time. He was struck by the triple-layered attack force of Wind Filling the Sky and died on the spot, vomiting blood without even knowing how he died. His soul drifted toward the Martial Temple.
…
Wind Filling the Sky’s attacks were extremely fierce!
Even the Golden Blade Constable and Zhuque, who had rushed over quickly, were sent flying back, exchanging looks filled with shock.
In just this brief pause, Kai Xin claimed dozens more lives!
This scene utterly shattered the hearts of the remaining disciples of the First Rank Hall!
Instead of posing any threat to Kai Xin, the combined efforts of the two Mythical Realm experts only served to push them back, allowing Kai Xin to kill hundreds more…
The original thousand-plus members of the First Rank Hall at the main headquarters of Xifeng Tower were now down to less than five hundred! Under Kai Xin’s pursuit, they dared not look back and fled in all directions for their lives.
…
When he reached near the street entrance, Kai Xin suddenly stopped. Frowning, he locked his gaze on a fair-skinned middle-aged man dressed as a palace supervisor who had silently appeared on the roof to the left, as well as a handsome middle-aged man.

The former glanced down from above and let out a chilling snort from his nostrils: “Zhu Que! Yan Lao! Your martial skills have declined significantly… The fact that the two of you can’t even take down an insignificant nobody in the jianghu right away is truly disappointing.” The men from the Eastern and Western Factories had also arrived!
