Chapter 309: Switching Swords!

Seven corpses lay sprawled on the deck. The burly man with the short axe and his five companions, separated by only a few steps, all gasped in shock!
Although these seven were not highly skilled, all at the Creation Realm level, they believed they could instantly take down one or two of them if they acted swiftly. But…
Killing seven people in an instant, in one smooth motion? That was beyond their capabilities!
It was too fast!
It wasn’t that their movement skills couldn’t reach such speed, nor was their swordsmanship slow—it was their brains that couldn’t keep up. If one suddenly accelerated and their consciousness and reaction couldn’t keep pace, it was like driving at 200 miles per hour around a mountain curve; even a slight mistake could lead to disaster. Adequate experience and training were essential.
The mysterious man in the hood struck once—with just a single sword strike—he injured the one with the strongest defense among them. His second strike was even more astonishing, seemingly confirming his earlier words. The words “no mercy” flashed through the minds of the six, leaving them hesitant as they looked at each other!
Just then…
Cries of pain and angry shouts came from outside the ship.
Dozens of players who rushed at the ship were swept away by successive sword flashes. They turned and retreated to the second floor, but even those martial artists who could have survived at the hands of the old man in the brocade robe couldn’t withstand Happy’s attacks—they died instantly upon contact, his strikes being fierce and merciless!
Soon!
A circle of corpses quickly piled up around the old man in the brocade robe on the second floor.
Happy’s appearance quickly drew a lot of attention and generated considerable hostility. The powerful players who boarded the ship all rushed toward him without hesitation!
“Stubborn!”
With the old man in the brocade robe’s help, the ship gradually stabilized, but Happy grew increasingly frustrated with the endless stream of enemies boarding it.
There were too many…
At this rate, there would never be enough time to kill them all!
Happy suddenly regretted it. Without reaching the Grandmaster Realm, he couldn’t activate the “Seven Stars Sword Technique” or unleash the “Wind Spirit Spin” for mass killing. It was truly frustrating.
He had to find another way…
The Seven Stars Sword Technique was useless!
Using the “Flower Hero’s Song,” he could activate the “Wind Spirit Spin,” whose killing power was sufficient for the current situation, though slower… As he thought this, Happy stepped back slightly, moving like a phantom to dodge several attacks. His sword, now named the “Gentleman’s Sword,” pierced out swiftly, pulling out from one of their chests—blood splattered everywhere!

Finding a moment, Kai Xin glanced back at the few men and women on the deck. Although the six men with short axes did not leave immediately, they wisely chose to stay back and stop harassing the already overwhelmed sailors, seemingly deciding to wait and see how things developed before taking further action.
Still not giving up?
Kai Xin frowned, suddenly sheathed his Gentleman’s Sword, and pulled out the Battle-Tested Blade from his Cosmic Sack.
Though he had obtained several Japanese swords from the royal tomb with superior attributes to the Battle-Tested Blade, he was particularly unaccustomed to and disliked the style of those weapons, finding them less imposing and steady than the broad and powerful Battle-Tested Blade.
As soon as the Battle-Tested Blade was in his hands, Kai Xin quickly took out a black pill from his Cosmic Sack and swallowed it without hesitation…
A Thousand-Year Red Ginseng Pill!
Taken from the sandalwood box in the royal tomb, it had the effect of raising one’s cultivation level by 10%, boosting combat power by the same amount!
A formidable aura immediately surged from Kai Xin’s body, his energy surging just as intensely as that of the elderly man in the brocade robe on the deck.
Hah!!
He leaped into the air.
His body was incredibly light—far lighter than before!
For a moment, Kai Xin had the illusion that his agility and lightness had returned to their peak from his past life. Despite the increasing number of enemies charging at him, his mind remained exceptionally clear.
A powerful sense of confidence boiled and burned within his chest.
“Kill!!”
The Golden Bell Shield activated…
Without dodging or avoiding, Kai Xin charged straight at the group of martial artists leaping at him, his momentum unstoppable, once again exuding a sense of heroic determination.
Below on the deck, the expressions of the people there changed rapidly.
“He’s seeking death…”
The group across from him possessed extraordinary talent and mystique, far beyond the seven people in the Fate Realm.
Yet the man with the short axe, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly widened his eyes, staring intently at the golden bell forming around Kai Xin’s body, his mouth slowly opening.
The Golden Bell Shield!
At that moment, the man with the short axe suddenly realized that the identity of the mysterious man in the hood might be…
Boom!!!
A loud explosion echoed through the air!
With a shocked expression of “As I thought!”, the man with the short axe watched as more than a dozen people crashed into the Golden Bell Shield. Not only did it cause no harm or force Kai Xin to retreat, but the powerful rebound force also sent them flying.
In the air, deep blue blade lights, like smooth ice surfaces, traced a brilliant arc at a speed far exceeding normal, coming straight from ahead…
Wind Spirit Spin!
The people in the air were torn apart by the fierce wind.
Blood splattered high into the sky!
But that wasn’t all…
Such minor slaughter was far from enough to intimidate the heroes!
Bang! Bang!

Happy rushed out of the ship without pause. In the air, deep blue sword beams, like the scythe of death, sent several groups of people flying before landing on the reed marshes by the river amidst screams.
“Hua Lang Zhan!!”
Entering the densest part of the crowd, he moved like a whirlwind, with the deep blue sword beams intensifying wildly. Enemies within a few meters were instantly devastated!
The sword beams sliced through faces!
Back in Fox Cave, when Happy, at the Creation Realm level, swept through the Luoyu Gate and Changle Sect, Hua Lang Zhan played a crucial role. Now, at the Mysterious Realm and enhanced by the “Thousand-Year Red Ginseng Pill,” how many of the players from those small towns could escape unscathed?
“Blue-Clothed Gentleman’s Sword…”
The six people who chased out of the ship realized who the mysterious man in the hat was as they saw him frantically killing people in the crowd on the reed marshes. Failing to recognize him now would truly be foolish!
Golden Bell Shield!
Yellow Dragon Bow Armor!
Seven-Star Sword Technique!
Including Hua Lang Yin!
These were all Happy’s signature moves…
Including the hat obtained from the royal tomb, which perfectly matched Happy’s symbol!
The crowd outside the reed marshes also became agitated. Many recognized Happy’s identity, and those who were slower to react also retreated far away after seeing that the attacks against the mysterious man in the hat had no effect, and he had killed nearly a hundred people in a row.
Those inside the ship, having waited in vain for reinforcements, were caught in a tough fight and were quickly killed one by one by the old man in the brocade robe or thrown into the river. It seemed the danger here had passed!
With fewer people around, Happy immediately stopped Hua Lang Zhan. With a cold gaze, he glanced around, stepped forward, and returned to the ship. After a few flights, he headed toward the other ships.
…
Far away, a group of people finally withdrew their gazes.
“…”
“We never expected Murong Family’s last move to be him!” They looked at each other, their expressions grim, with bitter smiles.
Only the woman with a white veil on her face showed a faint smile after withdrawing her gaze:
“That’s right. Happy, ranked first on the Masters List and the eldest brother of the Murong family—since it’s him who triggered this quest, there’s likely to be some interesting action ahead. Using their own tactics against them—the ultimate technique ‘Dou Zuan Xing Yi’ is said to be best for group battles. This might be a trial for Happy.”
If Happy were here and heard these words, who knows if he would be moved.
