Chapter 484: Langya’s Guest

The seventh-ranked expert on the Dragon List, “Langya,” held firm his status as “one of the three young masters of the capital” thanks to his masterful use of a golden sword. He was on par with experts like Bloodclothes and Desolation. The swordsmanship he mastered was taught by the elite Jinyiwei expert “Green Dragon,” refined through countless assassination attempts—the Green Dragon Sword Technique!

From the golden light emanating from this technique, a fierce Green Dragon energy form took shape in midair—only for a loud dragon roar to pierce the ears.

Roar!!!

A deep, majestic roar, like thunder, shook the entire area. The mysterious man in yellow brocade punched at the swordlight in the air, shattering the newly formed Green Dragon energy with the force of the roar. The violent energy, carrying an unstoppable momentum, broke through the swordlight and slammed toward Langya like a storm…

Langya took the hit head-on!

Panicked, Langya trembled. Even before the punch reached him, a powerful swirling airflow, generated by the opponent’s strength, swept through the courtyard, forming a massive dragon-shaped vortex before hitting Langya.

Langya’s expression changed as his protective barrier activated automatically, lifting him off the ground.

Bang!!

Almost simultaneously, the fist struck the barrier. The yet-unoptimized Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms wasn’t strong enough to shatter the barrier outright. However, the dragon head formed by the swirling vortex dragged a several-meter-long dragon body that crashed into Langya’s body with shocking force—his body shook as he was pushed from the front to the back.

Langya had hoped to withstand this unexpected punch with his protective barrier, but he clearly didn’t realize who he was facing—someone wielding one of the most ferocious punching techniques in the world. When in motion, it could shake the heavens and stir the winds.

“What remarkable skills!”

Langya stumbled back several meters, shattering a blue brick with each step. When he finally stopped, he let out a groan as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his face pale.

The few experts from the Tongtian Pavilion who followed Langya were shocked:
Who could this person be? A single punch had already inflicted severe internal injuries on the Pavilion Master!

Baixiaosheng was equally astonished. Though he knew Happy had exceptional skills, Langya was one of the most influential figures in the capital and one of its top three experts. Yet, he couldn’t even withstand Happy’s punch.

“The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms truly lives up to its reputation!” Baixiaosheng thought, gaining even more confidence about the rescue mission ahead.

Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu, who stood beside Bai Xiaosheng, stared in awe, also struck by the imposing presence of Happy’s decisive victory over his opponent.
“It turns out it’s a master from the Beggars’ Guild who’s here. Today, ‘Langya’ has overestimated himself…” Although ‘Langya’ loved to show off, he wasn’t stupid—he immediately understood the origin of the other man’s fighting style and the huge gap between himself and such extraordinary skills. His tone changed as he bowed and said, “My apologies… Let’s go!” He left right away, showing a certain degree of determination.
“Wait!”
Just then, a voice came from outside. Seeing the person approaching, ‘Langya’ and his group stopped in their tracks: “Brother Xueyi.”
“Vice Hallmaster Xueyi!”
The people from Tongtian Pavilion called out to him.
“Brother Langya, since you’ve gone to such lengths for me, Xueyi, it would be unfair of me to stand by idly. What do you think, Brother Langya?” Dressed in white, Xueyi looked elegant and graceful. With a smile, he walked slowly into the courtyard, his every move exuding charm. Unbeknownst to him, this flamboyant image not only failed to win Bai Xiaosheng’s favor but also stirred slight anger in Happy’s already calm heart, who had intended to stop the fight.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Xueyi and Langya’s faces, a cold smirk forming on his lips.
“One defeated, another appears.”
“Hehe, I’m truly sorry, sir. Today is a meeting between my First-Class Hall and Tongtian Pavilion. Brother Langya did this for me, Xueyi. For any rudeness, I, Xueyi, apologize on his behalf!” As usual, Xueyi acted as the representative of the First-Class Hall. He bowed politely, raised his eyes with a friendly smile, and said, “Please forgive us for disturbing you two.”
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t feel any ill will toward the courteous Xueyi.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something! Xueyi was the culprit behind the destruction of the Colorful Robes Sect. Now, the First-Class Hall was having secret talks with Tongtian Pavilion, one of the biggest forces in the capital. Could they be planning to follow in the footsteps of the Heroic Gate and form a northern alliance?
Hiss…
At this thought, Bai Xiaosheng sensed a faint chill. He realized something was unusual about today’s situation. Without saying a word, he silently glanced at Happy.
“I might forgive you guys, but leave now. Xiao Yuexian, Jiaonu, come on. The bad guys are gone. Let’s go back to our room and keep drinking.” To everyone’s surprise, Happy paid no attention to Xueyi’s words. He walked up to Xiao Yuexian, gently lifting her delicate chin, exuding a faintly sensual aura: “Stay and drink a few more cups with me later.”

Hearing this, Little Moon Fairy’s face turned as red as a tide…
The delicate maid teased playfully, “Sister Moon Fairy is blushing—sir, you have your chance!”
It was fine when the two girls stayed silent, but once they spoke, Xueyi and Langya, who knew well the pride of these stunning beauties, changed expressions!
“Wait!”
Seeing the mysterious man in yellow brocade take Little Moon Fairy’s hand and lead her into the room, Langya’s eyes almost popped out, while Xueyi also couldn’t help but grow cold-faced, though he quickly regained a gentle expression: “Your martial skills are astonishing. I’m eager to test myself against you—how about a duel?” Although he had seen Langya lose, Xueyi wasn’t sure of his true strength. With the success of the Star-Sucking Technique lately, he truly had the confidence to face him one-on-one.
Hmph!
This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Kai Xin turned slowly…
The secret discussion between Langya and Xueyi had made him realize that First-Class Hall seemed to be taking new actions.
Since Heaven-Piercing Pavilion was so keen to get involved in this conflict, he had no problem giving this arrogant fool a lesson; although he couldn’t kill inside Tianxiang Tower, if he could drive both Langya and Xueyi away from Little Moon Fairy and the maid, preventing them from ever summoning the two girls again, that would be satisfying as well.
He stopped in his tracks.
Kai Xin turned around…
“I heard Vice Hallmaster Xueyi died once and lost some strength. I didn’t expect him to have such ambition and enthusiasm right after recovering. Good! Since Vice Hallmaster Xueyi is so eager, I’ll risk my life to compete with a gentleman—let’s see if I’m stronger or if Kai Xin is better.”
“…”
Having one’s scars exposed in front of others was certainly not pleasant.
Hearing the words comparing him to Kai Xin, Xueyi could no longer maintain his fake smile, and his voice turned cold.
“Arrogance needs the right target!”
With a cold snort, he transformed into a fierce gust of wind, rushing at Kai Xin like lightning, standing atop him with two dangerous glimmers in his eyes!
