Chapter 1079: Ambush in Disguise, Breaking Through

Ambushed by a group of top experts led by the Evil Emperor, Happy managed to break through unharmed, but he didn’t leave right away…
The effects of the Leopard Essence Pill lasted for an hour!
If he simply left so easily, Happy would find it a pity…
Over a year ago, he had been trapped in bed for a year and a half due to a scheme by Meng Yun!
Now, trapped again by Meng Yun and the Evil Emperor, anyone would be furious—had he not had enough strength before, Happy would have sought a place to train thoroughly and returned later to avenge himself. But now that he had the power to retaliate, he certainly wouldn’t flee in shame.
After darting a thousand meters away, Happy silently slipped into the woods, returning like a shadow to the edge of the forest where the Evil Emperor’s group had hidden.
Just as he had imagined!
The Evil Emperor was extremely disappointed and angry with his group of top experts. Not only did he leave them behind, but the First-Class Hall and the Wild Wolves Organization also didn’t stay together.
Luo Jing, Shi Huasheng, and the others took the people from the First-Class Hall away, leaving over twenty members of the Wild Wolves Organization outside the forest, preparing to return to the capital.
Seeing this, Happy opened his eyes, put on a human skin mask, and instantly transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man.
He grabbed a set of ordinary fourth-tier swords he had used before from his Qiankun Bag and rushed out of the forest!
“Who’s there?”
After all, those outside were top experts. As the sound of their clothes swirling through the air appeared, Yan Lang and the others immediately noticed it. They stopped cautiously and shouted loudly.
Turning around, they saw a strange middle-aged man emerging alone from the forest.
Frowning, the group relaxed their vigilance.
“Get lost!”
Yan Lang, already in a bad mood, glared coldly at this seemingly passing martial artist from the Central Plains who was charging toward their group.
“Hmph!”
Happy wanted the Wild Wolves Organization members to cause trouble. With a snort, he drew his long sword mid-air and swung a flashy sword strike downward at Yan Lang, who was at the front of the group, with great speed.
“Ha.”
“Yan Lang was underestimated.” The members of the Wild Wolves Organization were instead delighted, watching Yan Lang and the suddenly appearing stranger with schadenfreude.
Yan Lang, full of anger and not knowing where to vent it, saw someone recklessly challenging him and his eyes flashed with cruel intensity.
“Die!”
Clasping his hands into claws, Yan Lang stepped forward to meet that sword strike.

In his view, a guy wearing half a set of magic artifacts and carrying an ordinary fourth-tier sword was at most between first-class and top-tier in strength. But to his surprise, when the palm wind collided with the sword energy in mid-air, the seemingly fierce palm wind was instantly torn to shreds by the sword energy. “What!” Yan Lang’s expression changed. In mid-air, with no time to change his tactics, he was struck by a sword. Happy didn’t want to give Yan Lang any more chance to reveal his identity, so the second and third swords followed swiftly after the first. Even without using the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, thanks to the boost from his strength attribute, Happy’s strength was much greater than before. Moreover, with the effects of the Leopard Essence Pill at play, the power of each sword was no less than that of a beginner at the Mythical Realm. One sword sent Yan Lang groaning as he was pushed backward, losing his balance in mid-air… The second and third swords struck him, breaking through his defenses instantly. His body trembled violently as he spat out blood several times. “Not good!” “Save him!” The people behind Yan Lang finally realized the situation was serious. They never expected a casual strike from the strange middle-aged man to be so powerful. They abandoned their earlier contempt and the two closest to Yan Lang rushed forward, trying to counter the next two swords from the middle-aged man. But! Happy was already prepared… After three swords, the unprepared Yan Lang was severely injured, barely alive, as a hidden force was unleashed. Poor Yan Lang didn’t even know who his enemy was before Happy shattered his internal organs with a palm strike, sending his soul to the Temple of Warriors. The experts from the Wild Wolf Organization couldn’t hold back anymore. Seeing Yan Lang killed in a single strike by the opponent, their mercenary spirit surged. Without any communication, a fierce killing intent instantly spread among them. “Avenging Yan Lang!” Dropping Yan Lang’s body, the group drew their weapons and surrounded him from both sides… “Perfect timing!” Happy was engaged in a fight with two experts from the Wild Wolf Organization and hadn’t killed them yet—waiting for this moment. Whoosh!! Wind filled the air! Only after being surrounded did he activate his true energy field. The Dark Iron Heavy Sword instantly replaced the fourth-tier sword as it swept through the air. The members of the Wild Wolf Organization were shocked to see the dark giant sword appear in the middle-aged man’s hand. “Damn it!” “It’s Happy!!” “Run!!” They cried in horror. But it was already too late to help them retreat from the battlefield!! The fierce sword energy swept through, and it took over twenty people to barely counter most of its initial attack. Soon after, they were violently struck by two powerful forces, forcing them to spit blood and fly back.

Over twenty people, without exception, tumbled to the ground! Those closest were killed on the spot by the shock, while the rest felt their internal organs and vital energy churn, unable to gather their inner strength. Their bodies felt as if crushed by tons of stones, leaving them motionless as they watched Happy approach step by step, his face growing increasingly pale!
…
Upon reaching them, Happy didn’t act immediately. He pointed his long sword diagonally in front of one of them.
The man stared at the tip of the sword, took a deep breath, and cursed through gritted teeth, “Someone will avenge me!”
A cold glint flashed past his eyes!
Happy’s movements were fast, decisive, and his gaze eerily calm…
The others witnessing the whole scene felt a chill run through them as they saw their companion’s body crash to the ground with a thud.
When the sword moved to the second man’s face, he hesitated noticeably, not daring to provoke Happy right away.
“Tell the Evil Emperor,” Happy said, his voice reaching the ears of the Wild Wolf experts, “This is just a small warning. From now on, everyone in the Wild Wolf Organization who stays in the Central Plains must be prepared to lose their heads at any moment…”
“Did you hear that?”
Standing atop them, Happy raised his chin.
The Wild Wolf members exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and nodded.
“Good.”
After saying that, Happy slowly retracted his sword.
Just as the Wild Wolf members thought they had escaped…
“You can die now too.”
Before they could even gather the little inner strength they had regained, a cold glint flashed past them like lightning!
Bang! Bang! Bang…
Their bodies trembled simultaneously before crashing to the ground as if all the air had been drained from them…
…
After swiftly eliminating twenty-seven members of the Wild Wolf Organization and seizing their equipment, Happy didn’t linger. He left the scene immediately—he didn’t want to waste time with the enraged Evil Emperor. With his current strength, it was nearly impossible to defeat the Evil Emperor, who possessed mental pressure and powerful slowing abilities.
Whoosh!
He activated his Lightning Step at full speed.
Amid the howling wind, Happy quickly thought, “The Evil Emperor brought few experts to the capital this time—only about thirty. Killing thirty Wild Wolf experts at once should frustrate him for a while. He can’t enter the city like I can. I have a mask, so the Prophet can’t find me.”
“Before I reappear and strike again, the Evil Emperor won’t know where I am… Once I show up, he’ll surely rush over immediately.”

“This period of time should be long enough to make good use of it and create an opportunity for the people of Xifeng Tower to break through.” Thinking of this, Kai Xin remembered the vast area east of the capital city, in the direction of the deep mountains! “If we can draw the Evil Emperor and Yipin Tang’s attention here, the chances of Xifeng Tower breaking through can increase by at least 30%!” …… The Evil Emperor didn’t receive Yan Lang’s message until five minutes after leaving, learning that after they split up, they were ambushed by Kai Xin in disguise, and all the remaining members were wiped out, not a single one left. At that moment, no one knew how ugly the Evil Emperor’s expression was. Meng Yun received this news a few minutes later—this was because her people had been closely monitoring the Wu Temple, only to find a large number of experts from the Wild Wolf Organization coming out of it. Her subordinates quickly informed her of this. “The ambush failed, and we lost all the experts from the Wild Wolf Organization. This guy…” Meng Yun’s expression also turned grim when she heard this news. She furrowed her brows deeply, her gaze flickering as if lost in thought. “The Evil Emperor is right. If we can’t kill him during this time when he’s being hunted, locking him up for a month, Kai Xin will likely remain a thorn in Yipin Tang’s side for a long time,” someone nearby reminded her. Meng Yun raised her eyelids slightly. “Who can kill him?” That single question made everyone around her fall silent—even the Evil Emperor, with his large group of top experts, had failed, so they indeed had no better plans or suggestions. “The most important plan now is to destroy Xifeng Tower and completely crush the morale of the Shadow Team. As for Kai Xin, we don’t need to worry about him for now.” After a pause, Meng Yun ordered her subordinates to spread the word: “Inform all the brothers in the sect that if they see Kai Xin, they shouldn’t confront him head-on. Instead, they should log off to avoid battle, unless he appears together with those trying to break through…” Just as the elders of Yipin Tang were about to issue this order, one of them suddenly received a message via carrier pigeon… After glancing at it, he quickly turned to Meng Yun: “An emperor has appeared west of the capital city and destroyed two of our training sites, killing over a hundred of our brothers.” Meng Yun perked up: “It seems the Shadow Team is planning to break through… Hmph! Tell the brothers there to step up their vigilance! Inform Blood-Clothed and Monk Thick Eyebrows to prepare for support!” Before her words faded, another message arrived in the elder’s hands. A few seconds later, he delivered news that left Meng Yun puzzled and suspicious:

“A mysterious expert was discovered west of the capital. He has no gang insignia and is attacking our brothers who are besieging Ji Feng. Over 500 of our brothers have already died, and the number of casualties is still rising rapidly…”
