Chapter 372: The Royal Tomb Hall – Swords Have No Eyes
At this moment, Happy was as cold as a god of death! His gaze was frosty, his expression icy. Driven by Happy’s intensity, a group from Yipin Hall quickly regained their composure from the shock of his arrival. Stimulated by his murderous aura, they activated their full combat capabilities, with over sixty sharp gazes fixed unflinchingly on Happy’s face. A powerful pressure built in the air, threatening to counterattack and overwhelm him.
The tension soared! Battle was imminent!
After scanning the area, noticing the eye-catching equipment and weapons worn by Yipin Hall’s members, Happy’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. The Three-Color Qingming Sword appeared in his hand.
Just as the two sides were about to clash violently, a figure shot between them like an arrow:
“Haha… Happy has arrived! We failed to greet you properly!”
Haidong Qing, the Sword of Affection, smiled broadly and bowed to the icy-faced Happy in a familiar manner. His voice was clear and loud, neither arrogant nor humble, and combined with his amiable appearance, he easily won people’s goodwill.
With the arrival of the Lingxiao Palace members, the murderous auras of Happy and Yipin Hall were greatly diluted…
“Lingxiao Palace?”
Glancing at Haidong Qing’s gang emblem, Happy frowned. He had old grudges with Yipin Hall, but he wasn’t ready to provoke Lingxiao Palace for now.
“I am Haidong Qing, honored by the jianghu to be called the Sword of Affection,” he replied with a smile. “It’s a great fortune to meet such a renowned figure like you today.”
“Is that so?”
Happy glanced at Haidong Qing, his tone turning colder. “Why did Lingxiao Palace suddenly decide to come to the Royal Tomb? You must know that most who come here these days end up with nothing… Otherwise, Yipin Hall wouldn’t have asked Tang Feng to stop me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Sha snorted darkly in dissatisfaction. “Things can be eaten carelessly, but words must not be spoken recklessly.”
“What, you don’t plan to admit what you just said?” Happy sneered. “Huang Sha, the deputy leader of Yipin Hall, is this all you’ve got?”
“…”
Huang Sha’s gaze sharpened. He hadn’t expected Happy to instantly recognize his reputation, nor had he realized his earlier words had already reached Happy’s ears. He couldn’t think of a suitable reply right away.
“Brother Happy, please don’t misunderstand. Tang Feng has long heard of your extraordinary strength and has wanted to meet you for a while. We just happened to be here at the right time.”
“No need to explain.”
Kai Xin waved his hand to interrupt Hai Dongqing’s explanation, walked past him, and passed unafraid in front of the group from Yipin Tang. The people from Lingxiao Palace paled at the sight…
How bold!
After all, this was equivalent to walking right into the midst of Yipin Tang’s men. With just a glance from them, they could attack simultaneously. How could Kai Xin be confident in escaping unharmed in front of so many experts?
The members of Yipin Tang also looked grim, their hands gripping their weapons so tightly they turned white. Several times, they couldn’t help but glance at Huang Sha for his opinion.
Huang Sha’s gaze, however, lingered on Kai Xin’s golden suit. His expression was solemn. From the moment Kai Xin approached until he left, he never gave the order to attack…
Hai Dongqing’s smile also stiffened at Kai Xin’s unexpected provocation. He held his breath, staring intently at Yipin Tang’s group until Kai Xin passed by, at which point he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Both the people from Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Tang heaved a sigh of relief. Some wiped sweat from their brows, others caught their breath. Several of them had to release the pressure on their weapons.
“…”
As Kai Xin walked alone toward the entrance of the royal tomb, it took Huang Sha several seconds to calm his agitated emotions. He stared solemnly at Kai Xin’s back, his expression dark and complex.
“The martial world is inherently a place of bloodshed and survival of the fittest…”
Kai Xin reached the entrance, stopped, and turned his back on the members of these two top gangs. His calm voice was clearly heard by everyone present:
“The pursuit of fame and profit is human nature. Since Yipin Tang has declared Caiyi Gate and Mu Family as its enemies, it’s only a matter of time before we fight. Chief Huang, you don’t need to explain Tang Feng’s appearance. Just as you won’t be surprised if I attack Yipin Tang one day…”
The members of Yipin Tang all showed anger.
Lingxiao Palace members looked solemn, gasping in shock. They realized this was not only Kai Xin’s mockery but also a declaration of war against Yipin Tang!
The conflict between Kai Xin and Yipin Tang had already become irreconcilable due to the incidents in Baokang and Wengcheng, but both sides had held back. Yet, with Kai Xin’s words spreading, a direct confrontation was likely imminent.
Huang Sha was clearly aware of the impact of Kai Xin’s words on Caiyi Gate and Mu Family. His expression grew even darker, his eyes narrowing into slits.
The disciples of Yipin Tang stared at Huang Sha in unison, radiating murderous intent.
Too arrogant!
Since the founding of Yipin Tang, it was the first time a player had dared to speak such boldly in front of them alone!
The honor of Yipin Tang is everything to them. They can’t tolerate Happy’s contempt for Yipin Tang. With just Huang Sha’s order, they’re confident they can keep Happy here forever!
Huang Sha didn’t respond to his brothers’ gazes.
Although this thought was also testing his self-control, reason told him that Happy was a strong opponent capable of matching the忍 King King. Such a fight would yield no result and might even cost some of his brothers their lives…
Everyone here was elite members of Yipin Tang!
“…”
Thinking of this, Huang Sha chose silence.
“Hall Master Huang.”
Happy suddenly turned around, his gaze falling on Huang Sha’s gloomy face. “Regarding Tang Feng’s matter, we can settle it inside. This isn’t our first time dealing with Yipin Tang, but it’s the first time we’ve met their three leaders. I hope you… won’t disappoint me.” By the end, the coldness in his tone was unmistakable.
After a pause, without waiting for Huang Sha to speak, he turned his gaze toward the group from Lingxiao Palace:
“Since Tang Feng isn’t holding me back, I think it’s better for Lingxiao Palace to withdraw from this competition. In the Royal Tomb Hall, swords know no eyes. If anyone gets hurt, I’ll feel terrible and won’t have the face to meet the Shangguan brothers.”
It was exactly noon!
Without giving Hai Dongqing or Huang Sha a chance to speak, Happy stepped into the Confusion Array…
Hai Dongqing’s smile froze stiffly, looking quite comical. He glanced at the murderous-looking group from Yipin Tang, at Huang Sha whose face was twisted with anger, and then at his own brothers.
Happy’s words, whether as a reminder or a threat, were clear enough…
The enemy would be waiting inside the Royal Tomb Hall for Yipin Tang to enter! Anyone who went in would face devastating attacks!
Lingxiao Palace wasn’t suited to get involved in this mess.
“Hall Master Huang, I’m sorry. I’ll take my leave now.” After much deliberation, Hai Dongqing decided to give Yipin Tang’s people some face. With a wave, he led his men away from the Royal Tomb. As for what Huang Sha would decide, it was none of his concern.
Once Hai Dongqing and his men left, Huang Sha’s gaze toward the Royal Tomb became extremely heavy!
As a top professional gamer, the threat posed by Happy after he entered the Royal Tomb first…
In the already deadly Royal Tomb Hall, in a chaotic fight, Happy, fighting alone, would have absolute control. Moreover, his defenses were strong enough to withstand even the忍 King King, so he didn’t need to worry about the damage from flying knives.
It was easy to imagine the predicament Yipin Tang’s people would face once they entered the Royal Tomb!
“That Tang Feng…”
Huang Sha was at a loss as to what to do.
