Chapter 651: Black Doves Everywhere

The developments took everyone by surprise!
When Happy’s sword sliced through the main hall of Lingxiao Palace, the system automatically classified his actions as hostile toward the gang. Countless messenger black doves instantly arrived in the hands of all Lingxiao Palace disciples within range.
The message read:
“The main hall has been attacked by enemies! Respond quickly!”
……
Black doves flew everywhere!
The atmosphere of a great battle was instantly created.
Watching helplessly as the situation deteriorated rapidly, Qin Qing, the master of Lingxiao Palace, saw countless disciples flood into the main hall and surround it with swords drawn, tension thick in the air.
Elders like Qin Yun, Shangguan Lian, and Hai Dongqing were extremely anxious.
The chaos made it impossible to control the situation.
To make matters worse, Li Qing challenged Happy at this moment, forcing him out of the main hall…
Boom!!!
With a magnificent sword flash from Po Kong Xiao Yue, Happy spun in mid-air, effortlessly dodging Li Qing’s powerful strike, laughing as he said,
“So you’re a descendant of the ‘Nine Swords of Dugu’! No wonder Master Qin dared to ignore me. Good! In the past, Feng Qingyang mastered the Nine Swords, making even ghosts and demons retreat! Linghu Chong only had six swords, yet he dominated the martial world! I wonder how many moves Vice Master Li has inherited. Happy is eager to see!”
“…”
Li Qing paused, his expression darkening slightly:
“As expected of the best among masters. I didn’t expect you to even recognize the ‘Nine Swords of Dugu’. Have you met Feng Qingyang or Linghu Chong?”
“If we’re going to fight, let’s do it—no need for so much talk.”
After landing in the front courtyard of the main hall, Happy still wore his blue robe, his face filled with a bold and triumphant smile. His fighting spirit was unshaken, undimmed by the tense atmosphere around him.
Yet the Lingxiao Palace disciples around him could hardly bear Happy’s aura…
With the full power of the “Nine Yang Divine Art,” his robes fluttered as if in a strong wind as he landed. Shocking waves of heat radiated out from him in all directions. Many felt the heat so intense they had to activate their protective barriers.
Pfft!
Pfft!! Pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft!!
Most people had never witnessed such a high-level confrontation. Nervously, some thought it was the effect of Wind Spirit Spin and fired their crossbows.
The first person’s action ignited the powder keg—many others fired their crossbows from all sides!
In an instant, countless arrows were shot at Happy. Up close, the lethality and speed of crossbow arrows were many times greater than those of bows!

Li Qing’s expression remained unchanged. His right hand tightened, and his long sword slightly emerged from its sheath as he stared intently at any changes in Happy’s movements…
Waiting for Happy to make a move!
Cough!!! Without hesitation, Li Qing swung his sword.
To outsiders, Happy was already in grave danger amidst the barrage of arrows. Li Qing’s strike was masterful—seizing the moment Happy dodged, he merged his body with the sword and moved through the arrow storm.
Qin Qing and the others rushed outside the hall just in time to see Happy and Li Qing collide!
Bang!
It was as if everything blurred before their eyes.
A loud impact sound came from the air. No one could see exactly what happened, but Qin Qing and the others were shocked to see Li Qing, now ranked fourth on the Dragon List, plummeting from the sky like a cannonball.
“Fourth on the Dragon List? That’s all? It seems you still need more practice!” A mocking laugh rang out.
Thud!
Li Qing clearly had remarkable skills. Even after being kicked away, he quickly regained his balance in mid-air, spun around, and landed heavily on both feet and one hand, his face turning pale.
Qin Qing and the others rushed to Li Qing’s side and were relieved to see no injuries on him and his protective barrier intact.
“Are you okay?”
“The number one in the world truly cannot be underestimated.”
Li Qing calmed the surge of excitement in his heart, a faint bitter smile appearing on his lips.
He had thought he could injure Happy with the sudden arrow barrage, but Happy’s agility was astonishing. He dodged the arrows with such composure that he could even counterattack at the same time.
His determined strike failed once again, and he was even kicked back.
“I used to think that an ordinary student, no matter how skilled, couldn’t be that good. It seems I overestimated him.” Li Qing’s words weighed heavily on Qin Qing and the others.
Li Qing was a Dragon List expert who had recently been recruited by Qin Qing. Because of his rapid rise in rank and growing strength, she had overridden objections and promoted him to deputy palace master. This time, his aggressive tone toward Happy was also because the Lingxiao Palace had indeed gathered a group of highly skilled experts.
But now it seemed…
There was still a significant gap between Li Qing and Happy.
Ah!
Ah!!
Cries of pain echoed.
Qin Qing’s gaze sharpened as she looked up…
Happy and Li Qing had exchanged blows, both unharmed.

But the crossbows and arrows fired by the Lingxiao Palace disciples clearly enraged the latter. Now trapped among the crowd in the open area, they sheathed their long swords, and with their massive palms, they repeatedly unleashed the Dragon Roar. Amidst those astonishing roars, the Lingxiao Palace disciples crashed like shells, toppling groups of their own brethren in an instant, sweeping them all to the ground.
The prowess of the number one expert in the world was displayed in its fullest glory at this moment!
……
“You bunch of lawless fools! Get down now!”
“There are so many of you—our little shop is about to collapse!”
Ignoring the shopkeeper’s angry shouts, the little girl, the old man with a white beard, and a group of martial artists stood atop a tavern, looking down intently at the main hall of the Lingxiao Palace not far away.
Although the Lingxiao Palace disciples were densely packed, only a few could truly pose a threat to Happy in such chaos, yet even those few couldn’t gain a foothold.
After Li Qing was repelled with a single move, the Lingxiao Palace disciples couldn’t stand firm in Happy’s presence at all; they were scattered like sandbags by his attacks, spitting blood everywhere.
Happy charged forward recklessly, as if no one else existed.
The experts from foreign forces organizations were all stunned; especially those who had previously thought Happy wasn’t that great now struggled to hold back their words, staring at the young man whose Dragon Roar continued, his momentum having reached an astonishing level, unable to hide the awe in their eyes.
“So powerful.”
“Is this the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? Thethe Beggar’s Gang’s ultimate skill?” The girl watched the main hall of the Lingxiao Palace with great interest, excited as if she were the one wielding the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, following the roaring golden dragon that kept charging around.
“…This kid is going to gain both fame and fortune again.”
The old man with a white beard stroked his beard smilingly, but then said something that shocked everyone around him.
Soon, many who were recording the scene showed a bitter expression:
“The senior is right. With such a spectacular visual battlefield, Happy will definitely turn it into a REP and release it on paid channels. By then, where will we have a chance to appear?”
After a pause, they suddenly showed an eager expression as if flipping through a book: “But it’s fine too! It’s good to experience this scene firsthand. I wonder how Li Qing was repelled by just one move of his…”
“Look!”
“Qin Qing is stepping in—she finally can’t hold back anymore.”
