Chapter 199: Exposure

Under Situ Luoyu’s deliberate indulgence, an irreconcilable clash erupted between the Changle Sect and Happy’s group. With Happy stepping in personally and effortlessly capturing one of the Changle Sect members, Lonely Changle flew into a rage! It was as if someone had slapped him in the face—his expression was utterly furious!

Yet…
Happy was also an experienced veteran with rich combat skills. Faced with an onslaught from a group of top-tier experts from the Changle Sect, he understood that even with the Golden Bell Shield at the seventh level, he couldn’t withstand another round of attacks as easily as before. After capturing one of them, he used that person as both a shield and a target, relentlessly unleashing his Shadow Wind Leg attacks.

Out of fear of damaging their own ally, Lonely Changle’s group saw their comrade trembling like leaves in a storm at Happy’s hands, taking no less than twenty punches and kicks in short order, completely unable to regain control of their body. The sound of bones breaking echoed continuously from within!

Blood splattered…

At the same time,
Yao Shi Wan Neng, Lei Zhan, and Xiao Bei faced the Changle Sect’s experts without hesitation. Faced with a group of highly skilled elites, the three were filled with fierce fighting spirit, unafraid of the Changle Sect’s strength and numerical advantage.

“…”
Situ Luoyu, watching closely, was the first to realize that the three around Happy seemed quite formidable. The young man who had summoned two zombies and posed a threat to Lonely Changle appeared the most reckless and immature. Though his lightness skills were ordinary, his unexpectedly brutal palm strike was something ordinary players would find hard to withstand.

The burly man, who stood out with his fine equipment, also possessed superior protective abilities. His sword light shone like a slashing broadsword, completely unfazed by the pressure and presence of the Changle Sect’s top experts. His medium-speed sword movements, bold and decisive, subtly carried traces of Happy’s style.

The last man…
was the most threatening of the three to Situ Luoyu. Although he didn’t have the same outstanding and sudden performances as Lei Zhan and Xiao Bei, his elusive movement patterns, with their unpredictable trajectories, made it hard to guess his next move. Clearly, he had reached a high level in lightness skills. Such a person was the most terrifying—thanks to his speed, he was already invincible, even against a group of highly skilled elites!

In his mind, Situ Luoyu quickly compared the strengths of the two and arrived at a conclusion he himself couldn’t believe but had no choice but to accept.

With only Gudu Changle and these eleven people around him, it’s likely difficult to defeat Happy. Each of these three has their own survival skills and combat prowess; none of them are easy opponents. If a fierce battle breaks out, Changle’s faction is even more likely to suffer losses!
“Stop!”
Noticing the subtle tension, Situ Luoyu frowned and finally couldn’t help but step forward:
“Brother Gudu, Brother Happy—there was no enmity in the past, nor any grudges recently. Why ruin your relationship over a trivial dispute? Please, for my sake, stop.”
He hadn’t forgotten his main purpose for coming here.
The current deputy leader of the Xiyi Gate, Hongchen, hadn’t been found yet, and Situ Luoyu didn’t want any complications arising from Happy’s group, leading to more accidents.
No sooner had he spoken than an accident occurred…
Bang!!
The person captured by Happy, after enduring dozens of brutal blows, had his mouth filled with blood-red foam. The final strike sent him flying toward Changle’s group.
Their formation collapsed, and Xiao Bei seized the opportunity. With a swift movement, he unleashed the “Ten Thousand Poisons Palm” at a skilled fighter trying to avoid the corpse. Black poisonous claws silently appeared above the opponent’s head.
“How bold!”
A fierce glint flashed in Gudu Changle’s eyes. Without any fancy moves, he raised his hand—“Boom!” A palm strike accompanied by the sound of thunder struck first.
Xiao Bei seemed unaware, continuing his attack unabated.
Bang! Bang!
A shadow flashed. A zombie rushed in from the side, taking Gudu Changle’s palm strike instead. Its body flew like dead wood and crashed into Xiao Bei.
But one of Changle’s men was also successfully attacked by Xiao Bei, who tore five wounds filled with dark energy from his shoulder, sending him spinning away.
Sss!
Just as Xiao Bei achieved success, one of the targets watched by Yao Shi finally showed a weakness. He was pierced through the back by a decisive sword strike, blood staining the second floor of Fox Cave. Fighting alone, Xiao Bei had to rely on two zombies to stay undefeated. With Changle’s men focusing mainly on Happy and Leizhan, they naturally suffered losses.
On the contrary, Leizhan, who was quite strong, failed to achieve any victories.
However…
In this brief clash, Changle’s faction lost one man and had two seriously injured. On Happy’s side, only an insignificant zombie was severely damaged, and Xiao Bei suffered only minor injuries. Such results greatly surprised the members of the Luoyu Gate and brought unprecedented shame and challenge to Changle’s faction!

Ignoring Situ Luoyu’s attempts to mediate, Gudu Changle gritted his teeth and swiftly pushed aside the two zombies. With his fingers transformed into claws, he clashed head-on with Xiao Bei with a punch.
A master at the Mysterious Realm, possessing superior protective abilities and agile movement skills—how could Xiao Bei possibly withstand such attacks?
Pfft!
His body trembled violently; Xiao Bei’s face turned as pale as gold paper as he spat blood and fell backward.
With one man dead, Gudu Changle was determined to kill someone first to establish his dominance and regain face. Ignoring the others, he focused solely on Xiao Bei and delivered another punch.
“Go!”
Fortunately, Yao Shi reacted quickly. Seeing Xiao Bei in danger, he swung his white sword like a blade cutting through the air, temporarily blocking Gudu Changle. With a low shout, he slashed several times to cover Xiao Bei’s escape.
Hmph!!
Gudu Changle snarled loudly. Relying on his strong protective aura, he pushed aside Yao Shi’s sword and rushed at Xiao Bei, who was retreating unsteadily…
Just then, a clear and stern voice rang out from the entrance of the secret room:
“Enough!”
Whoosh!
With his robes fluttering, a person soared above Xiao Bei at even greater speed, his legs moving like springs, leaving deep footprints behind…
Gudu Changle’s expression changed as fierce gusts of wind hit him. Even before contact, the protective aura around his body began to ripple violently, like a lake tossed by a storm.
As the two were about to collide, an even more powerful presence suddenly emerged from the secret room, thrusting itself between them…
Boom!!
The three nearly equal forces collided, creating a violent shockwave that pushed all three of them in opposite directions.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Kai Xin landed first, stepping back three steps like a cannonball, leaving deep footprints. Only then did he lift his head, his face filled with anger.
Gudu Changle stepped back two times before stopping firmly. Thanks to his skills at the Mysterious Realm, he suffered no damage from the collision.
The last to land was Situ Luoyu.
Though it seemed he had intervened between the two to stop their fight, acting as a mediator, something strange happened the moment he acted—he became the one bearing the brunt of the force, directly attacked by both Gudu Changle and Kai Xin. “Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!” He was flung sideways and crashed into a hard wall. His face turned abnormally red before turning pale as he stared in shock at Kai Xin.
“I never thought the leader of the Luoyu Sect would have such interests.”
Sarcastic words came from Kai Xin’s mouth.
