Chapter 492: Accepting the Mission

The dragon lies hidden in the depths!
Unlike the first technique Happy mastered, “Disarming the Dragon,” this technique is not defensive but purely offensive. The power already displayed is immense—this fierce black dragon, like a monstrous beast descended from the heavens, destroyed hundreds of Yuan soldiers around it with devastating force and injured many masters at the Liberation Realm.
“Roar!”
When facing Ah San, Happy’s gaze turned sharp. The black dragon emitted a thunderous dragon roar that shook the entire mansion, accompanied by a powerful vortex that swept toward him!
The massive black dragon had transformed into a tornado storm with a diameter of three to four meters. Moving swiftly, its powerful vortex created a tremendous sucking force. Ah San stepped back several times before realizing he was already near the prison entrance, with no chance to evade. The tornado storm was upon him in an instant.
Ah San crossed his arms over his chest, his face pale, as he braced himself against the wall to withstand the onslaught of the dragon storm…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ah San, who was hit first, had his clothes torn to shreds as if scraped by thousands of knives, with countless bloodstains covering his body. But for a master at the Wuwei Realm whose martial skills had reached a high level, such minor injuries were not enough to knock him down.
Happy understood this better than anyone. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he moved his hands. Hidden within the remnants of the black dragon, the “little dragon” swam nimbly through the tornado like a fish, striking Ah San like lightning.
Just as the black dragon was about to vanish, Ah San, still holding on, suddenly felt a chilling sensation rising from within his body, causing his muscles to tense abruptly!
It was too late…
The “little dragon” hidden in the tornado sent lightning that pierced through Ah San’s body and also through the wall behind him.
“…”
Everything returned to calm!
Ah San, exhausted, spat out a mouthful of blood. Standing against the wall, his face pale, his aura had greatly diminished.
The wind had stopped, and outside the prison, all the plants and trees were ruined by the shattered stones. The area looked as if it had been hit by a real hurricane. Several nearby houses were severely damaged, and the bodies of Yuan soldiers were everywhere. The entire mansion was in ruins, a complete mess!
“He still hasn’t died…”
Happy suddenly felt some admiration for Ah San’s tenacious, cockroach-like will to live.

The power of the thirteenth move had already reached the level of harm equivalent to doing nothing at all. Ordinary Yuan soldiers were instantly killed just by being drawn a little deeper by the previous move, “Dragon Hidden in the Abyss.” Ah San, who endured full force of the attack, only suffered minor injuries. Even the ultimate secret of “Dragon Hidden in the Abyss” — that terrifying attack that even shocked its user — failed to kill him…

After that strike, Happy’s momentum dropped back to the level of the tenth move, and his internal energy was consumed by more than half, falling back to the Mysterious Realm…

However, having come this far, he was determined to take Ah San away to see if he could force him to reveal one of the Buddha Sect’s ultimate techniques, the “Prajna Vajra Palm.” Just as he was about to strike again, a ding sound came through!

System alert: “It has been detected that Zhou Zhiruo, the leader of the Emei Sect, is trapped in the Ruyang Prince’s Mansion. Please go immediately to rescue her and help her escape from the capital city.”

“If you accept the task, you must escape from the pursuit of the Ruyang Prince’s elite guards and the city’s military within half an hour!”

“If you refuse the task, your relationship with Zhou Zhiruo will deteriorate!”

The moment the system alert ended, Happy gave Ah San a deep look and said, “What a pity!” If it weren’t for the time-limited escape mission, he might have killed Ah San before leaving. But since the city’s military had already noticed them, he had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the “injured Ah San” for now, waiting for another opportunity to act. Immediately, he turned his gaze and without hesitation leaped toward the mansion’s gate.

…

Happy’s appearance quickly alerted numerous guards, who cried out in alarm. The Yuan soldiers surrounded the Ruyang Prince for protection. Even the Eight Arrows Masters, who had planned to deal with Zhou Zhiruo, were forced to send some of their men to ensure the Ruyang Prince’s safety.

The members of the Jinyiwei sent cold glances. Seeing the opponent charge straight to the mansion gate with unstoppable force, killing every Yuan soldier in their path, their hearts pounded violently!

“It’s really him!”

“Langya” reacted the fastest. Seeing the faint red light around the opponent, he immediately deduced that the opponent must have also taken on a mission from Zhang Wuji or Zhou Zhiruo, putting them in an enemy relationship. He took a slight breath and unconsciously stepped back from the Ruyang Prince — during the battle at Tianxiang Tower, the opponent had already shown astonishing strength, and it seemed he had held back back then.

Unbeatable!

Alarm bells rang loudly in “Langya’s” mind. Although he held a high status in the capital and no one dared to provoke him, someone at this level would not spare the face of the leader of Tongtian Pavilion.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Eight Great Archers were formidable, their arrows flashing like lightning as they drew their bows in unison, forming a barrage that even the most skilled warriors found extremely troublesome—yet it couldn’t stop Happy’s advance. With a swift movement, he effortlessly dodged their arrows and approached the entrance of the prince’s mansion…
“Master Zhou!”
Happy spoke in a voice as loud as thunder:
“With so many skilled warriors in the capital, if things can’t be done, why not listen to my suggestion and pause for now?”
Had they not seen his skills, such bold words would surely have drawn ridicule from people like Langya. Just as the nearby players wondered who could be so confident, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly changed her sword stance, using several sword gusts to push back Ah Da and Ah Er. With a single step, she soared onto a nearby tavern in her snow-white robes:
“I didn’t expect you to be here too…”
The players watching the battle were stunned, guessing who the newcomer was.
At that moment, Zhang Wuji also called out loudly:
“It turns out to be Young Hero Happy.”
Boom!!!
Like a bomb thrown into a calm lake, after several seconds of silence, the surface suddenly erupted into chaos—countless players near the prince’s mansion were shocked! Everyone’s face showed disbelief as they stared fixedly at the calm and proud figure who had emerged from the mansion.
“So Master Zhang is here too.”
“And Princess Zhao as well!!” Zhao Min grabbed the Eighth Prince by the arm, looking up at Happy with gritted teeth. She hadn’t expected that in just a month, he would be able to freely escape from the heavily guarded Ruyang Prince’s Mansion.
“Princess Zhao Min, it was thanks to your gift back then that I could achieve what I have today.” Happy seemed relaxed as he dodged the Eight Great Archers’ arrows, but in reality, he needed to constantly replenish his internal energy, which had been depleted from using the Little Dragon Form. These eight warriors were exceptionally strong, and even the slightest pause could lead to disaster.
At the same time, Happy knew that if he couldn’t establish his dominance at the Ruyang Prince’s Mansion today and scare away those who came to watch, his path to escaping with Zhou Zhiruo would become extremely difficult—the people of Yipin Hall would never allow him to stand out so much in the capital.
With this in mind, as he neared the entrance of the mansion, he stepped forward, and a powerful punch surge erupted from him as his speed suddenly increased!
Roar!!!
A majestic black dragon instantly formed beneath Happy, disrupting the arrows of the surrounding soldiers. Its proud head roared fiercely, charging recklessly at the group of skilled warriors gathered at the mansion’s entrance…
