Chapter 589: The Mystery of the Mission

One against two—Happy’s pressure instantly doubled!
The short and sturdy man wielded two knives like a gale sweeping fallen leaves, his attacks astonishingly fierce and his speed terrifying. Many players who heard the commotion and came from all directions around Fengyang City stood on the rooftops surrounding the courtyard to watch. Seeing the strength of this man inside, they dared not enter.
It was beyond the capabilities of players at their level to withstand his attacks!
The other man, tall and thin, had exceptional leg skills. Wherever he stepped, bricks shattered with a “crack,” followed by a loud roar in the air. His steel-like legs then lashed out like metal whips!
Working together, the two launched relentless attacks—long and short—sending shattered bricks and tiles flying like projectiles. The intensity of the battle was suffocating!
Even Strong as Happy had no way to counter their combined assault and was forced to retreat step by step…
Although Happy seemed in extreme danger, seeing that Shi Feixuan’s pressure had lessened—able to suppress the evil ghost man while guarding the entrance to the house—he calmed down and focused entirely on dealing with his two formidable opponents.
A stalemate!
Happy could clearly feel that neither the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” nor the “Converging Fingers” could keep up with the rapid attacks of these two masters. As he retreated, he could only try to dodge and protect himself as much as possible.
It was the first time since entering the “Jianghu” that Happy faced such a situation—completely under pressure, unable and unwilling to fight back.
The two Fengyang monsters were skilled in martial arts with fast attack speeds. Usually, no matter how strong the opponent, the “True Dragon Ten Styles” still gave him some room to resist.
But against them, Happy understood clearly that if he resisted one, the other would instantly crush him with a devastating attack!
Under these circumstances, not getting hurt was already quite good…
At critical moments, Little Dragon would dodge, while Converging Fingers would thrust out two fingers. The three of them kept moving around the courtyard, destroying the walls completely, with hardly any intact bricks left on the ground.
Boom! Boom!!!
A group of players watched with great interest from the rooftops!
It was their first time seeing Happy so overwhelmed, and they found it quite fascinating. Moreover, despite facing such fierce opponents, Happy managed to stay undefeated, defending flawlessly and even managing to disrupt their attacks from time to time. Everyone found it extremely thrilling.
“Amazing.”
“If only we could be that good someday.”

“You? Dream on. Happy is the greatest fighter in the Central Plains— the mastermind behind the Mu Family, with unlimited resources and martial skills. Is there anything he can’t get?”
“…” A bucket of cold water doused that person’s ambitions, leaving not a trace of fire.
In another alley corner, two people stood quietly, observing the situation in an unusually calm manner.
“Brother Zhou, after all, this is a joint mission for the three of us. It seems inappropriate to leave Happy to handle it alone. If things go as you say and Happy fails here, but he still completes the mission, won’t he get the rewards meant for us three?”
“If you want to carry out the mission with him, you can go right now.”
The person addressed as “Brother Zhou” was Zhou Yu, a master of Yipin Tang. Yet Zhou Yu never expected to run into Happy here, given their past conflicts.
Hearing this, the other person quickly explained, “Brother Zhou, you know I didn’t mean that. It’s just one mission; if we give up, we give up. But I think it’s a pity. The story of The Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty has just begun, and we’re already missing the chance to get to know Shi Feixuan. Isn’t the cost too high?”
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said coldly, “You may not know, but there’s an agreement between the Mu Family and Yipin Tang. This is Fengyang. Logically, I shouldn’t be here. If I intervene, not only will I fail to get the mission, but I might also attract the pursuit of Happy, the Mu Family, and the Xiyi Gate.”
“Are the people of the Mu Family that domineering?” the other person asked in surprise.
“…” Zhou Yu remained silent.
Yipin Tang had expanded too rapidly, its ambitions obvious. If they hadn’t attacked both the Xiyi Gate and the Mu Family at the same time, things might not have escalated to this point. Unfortunately, the Mu Family had now caught up with Yipin Tang and even showed signs of overtaking it. With the equally powerful Xiyi Gate by their side, Happy’s position was unshakable.
For this martial arts conference, they had planned to use “The Emperor” to strike at Happy and dampen the Mu Family’s morale and growth. But things went against their plans. “The Emperor” failed halfway, while Happy made it to the end of the conference, firmly securing his title as the greatest martial artist with astonishing scores.
Now…
His title as the best among the renowned fighters even ranked above first on the Dragon List.
By the time they spoke, the situation in the courtyard had become much clearer.

Although Happy remained under pressure, the back-and-forth battles between the two sides showed no signs of defeat. On the contrary, Shi Feixuan effortlessly dealt with dozens of demons disciples and seriously injured the evil ghost man! Zhou Yu and the young people from Wudang gradually grew solemn… Once Shi Feixuan was free, it would be time for the Three Monsters of Fengyang to fall. Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred on the battlefield! “Be careful!” With Shi Feixuan’s urgent warning, a black flash shot out from beneath the corpses of several demons disciples on the ground, charging toward Happy’s back with full force. It was the shadow assassin, Yang Xuyan! Yang Xuyan, who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, finally could hold back no longer. Happy never showed signs of panic, and his internal energy continued to flow without exhaustion. As the battle between him and Shi Feixuan was about to decide its outcome, Yang Xuyan knew he had to take action. Whoosh! The dark, gleaming sword light, like a venomous snake in the night, silently struck at Happy. None of the onlookers realized what was happening at first; it was Shi Feixuan who noticed first and warned loudly. But it was already too late to prevent Happy from being surrounded by three powerful opponents! “Yang Xuyan!” For the first time, Happy sensed an unprecedented threat to his life. With a roar, he activated his Golden Bell Shield. As the shield vibrated violently, he instantly shifted his weight and dodged the attacks of the Two Monsters of Fengyang like lightning, then reflexively kicked Yang Xuyan, who had appeared, with a Dragon Tail kick. Boom!!! Yang Xuyan never expected that such thorough preparation, which had created a seemingly hopeless situation, could be resolved by Happy’s masterful kick. His body trembled as he was kicked away like a cannonball. The Two Monsters of Fengyang seemed to have angered Shi Feixuan even more, as a magnificent sword lightning strike landed between them and Happy, creating a shocking trench.
