Chapter 486: Seeing the Dragon Remove Its Armor

Reversing the Stars!
One of the deadly tactics that Xueyi had only recently mastered. With this unexpected trump card, Xueyi believed that in a one-on-one fight—so long as he didn’t encounter someone like an Emperor or Kai Xin—there was no opponent in the martial world. Seizing the moment the man in the yellow brocade robe landed, Xueyi moved as fast as lightning to Kai Xin’s side and slapped him!
The Star-Sucking Art!
Suck!!!
The moment the slap landed on Kai Xin, a tremendous force surged into Xueyi’s body from within Kai Xin’s; but at the same time, an extremely dangerous aura enveloped Xueyi’s body. He suddenly felt a chilling coldness rising from all directions, making his hair stand on end.
Yet Xueyi still didn’t believe that Kai Xin could still do anything after being struck by the Star-Sucking Art. The greatest feature of this art was its relentless persistence, draining the enemy’s last bit of life force.
But…
A series of “pop” sounds, like beans bursting, suddenly came from within Kai Xin. At the same time, an astonishingly powerful force emerged. Xueyi immediately realized that the channel for energy transfer seemed to be blocked by a mass of magma. His palm burned, so he quickly pulled it back and slapped again!
Unexpectedly!
Kai Xin suddenly rolled rapidly in the air, perfectly blocking Xueyi’s deadly blow aimed at his head.
The Giant Dragon Opens Its Eyes!
“Roar!”
The moment their hands touched, an overwhelming force surged from Kai Xin’s arms into Xueyi’s body. Hit like by lightning, Xueyi let out a pained cry and was flung backward.
After finally waiting for his tenth move and mastering “Seeing the Dragon Remove Its Armor” amidst the adversity of “Reversing the Stars,” how could Kai Xin not be excited? With a loud roar, he soared like a bird above Xueyi.
Facing Xueyi’s suddenly widened eyes:
Roar!!!
The dragon’s roar seemed to break through some constraint, becoming clearer and louder! Amidst the furious cry, a distinct dragon shape appeared behind Kai Xin, visible to Xueyi.
The eleventh move!
The Giant Dragon Extends Its Claws.
Boom!!!
With a loud impact, Xueyi screamed as a terrifying gash was torn in the ground. The force shattered the courtyard wall, sending him flying out of Room Number One.
“Vice Hallmaster Xue!”
“Langya” and the others rushed out of the courtyard, helping up the bloodied and battered Xueyi. When they looked at the man in the yellow brocade robe again, their eyes were filled with awe.
Seeing only a drop of water thinking it’s the ocean…

“What narrow-mindedness! When has such a formidable master emerged in the martial world?” Xue Sha covered his chest, spitting blood with a bitter smile. He knew well that without the protection of Tianxiang Tower, that palm strike would have killed him on the spot…
The opponent wasn’t wearing gloves yet had reached such a level through mere martial skills.
“The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms truly live up to their reputation!”
“Langya” wore a complex expression. If he couldn’t guess the opponent’s martial art, he wouldn’t be the head of Tongtian Pavilion:
“I’ve been in the capital for too long and thought it was the entire martial world. It seems our vision has been limited. In this martial world, aside from ‘the Emperor’ and ‘Happy,’ there are many powerful figures who remain hidden.”
“Let’s go!”
Xue Yi swallowed several Jade Dew Pills before finally regaining some mobility. Seeing the mysterious man in yellow brocade and another mysterious figure return to the room, he sighed reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Brother Langya. Today, not only did I fail to avenge you, but we also lost face as brothers.”
“Who would have thought Room Number One in the capital would have such a fierce opponent…” Langya smiled bitterly. He couldn’t even worry about being jealous of Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu now. The reputation of Tongtian Pavilion and Yipin Hall had been completely trampled underfoot, and they still didn’t know the opponent’s background.
“Let’s discuss forming an alliance another time. I need to return to the headquarters immediately. This person is arrogant, extremely powerful, and hides their true identity—definitely not from the capital. We must find out who they are.” Xue Yi’s expression was grave.
Langya also realized that since this person had come to the capital secretly to meet someone, they might be a formidable force aiming to take a share of the power here!
If that was the case, Tongtian Pavilion couldn’t afford to ignore them.
“In that case, Brother Xue, you go first. Let’s arrange to meet again another day.”
“See you soon.”
Xue Yi stood up, changed his clothes, and left quickly.
Langya, however, stayed silent with his brothers for a long time. The former said, “No one is allowed to reveal what happened today.”
“We know.”
The group was deeply troubled, knowing that this wasn’t only related to Tongtian Pavilion’s reputation but also to Xue Yi’s face in Yipin Hall. If word got out, the alliance between Tongtian Pavilion and Yipin Hall might be ruined.
After giving more instructions, Langya cast another deep glance at Room Number One, a hint of reverence in his eyes:
“Leave two people at the entrance later. Keep an eye on who comes in and out today—important people. Notify me as soon as you find out.”
“Understood!”
…

“Happy, your appearance today was quite noticeable. I guess Bloodclothes definitely doesn’t have the mood to discuss anything with Langya now. Langya has considerable influence in the capital and will surely try every means to figure out our identities.”
Baixiaosheng stared at Happy’s arms, only now feeling his heart settle back into its proper place.
Happy had used palm techniques throughout the fight; the opponent surely couldn’t guess that it was Happy who had used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Given the short duration of the fight, who would have thought that Happy, who was usually known for his superior sword skills and equipment compared to other martial artists, could easily defeat one of the “Three Young Masters of the Capital” with just his bare hands?
“It’s too easy to avoid their eyes and ears—just a cloak will do.”
Happy remained calm and composed:
“But in that case, the capital will likely be in chaos for a while, with everyone’s attention focused on me. By then, it will be easier to rescue Silver Fox and Wind Bell.”
As the two talked, they left Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu aside.
“Speaking of the rescue mission, I forgot to tell you—I’ve prepared two helpers for you this time,” Baixiaosheng said seriously. “Both are quite strong and can handle one or two experts at the Liberation Realm on their own. One can distract the ‘Eight Arrows Heroes,’ while the other can draw the attention of the Two Elders of Xuanming.”
Happy raised an eyebrow:
“Reliable?”
Although he knew it was unrealistic to act alone, since outsiders were involved, keeping his identity secret remained crucial.
Baixiaosheng clearly anticipated this question:
“Absolutely reliable. Moreover, I haven’t told them you’ll be involved, and they won’t know your identity during the mission… I’ll tell you more about the details of the prince’s mansion.”
While Happy and Baixiaosheng were having a secret talk in Tianxiang Tower, Bloodclothes had already delivered the news to Mengyun at the main headquarters of Yipin Hall.
