Chapter 750: The Loud Noise in Yangzhou City
Thud!
The moment Tang Feng’s body fell to the ground, Happy’s once joyful eyes turned icy cold, and he mercilessly began his second wave of killing.
This time…
The members of the Assassin Hall were no longer as calm as before.
The moment the first group was slain, a crowd started screaming and fled frantically!
But in terms of speed, they clearly couldn’t outrun Happy—most of them were knocked down from behind by his astonishing speed within a hundred meters, their bodies lying scattered across the forest.
“Boss Happy.”
By the time he turned back, a group of Mu Family disciples had already dealt with the Japanese players: “One escaped, but the other six were all killed.”
“Good. I’ll leave first; you stay behind to clean up the battlefield!”
Walking among the corpses and loot, Happy turned a blind eye and calmly gave an order, summoning hishoof shadow before instructing again:
“Also, inform Lei Zhan immediately to order his men to seal off the defenses and track down Tang Feng and the Assassin Hall members. Make sure they’re all kept south of the Yangtze River.” His tone was firm and unyielding.
“Yes!!”
Everyone responded in unison!
Everyone could tell that after the battle just now, Happy was determined to erase the Assassin Hall from the martial world forever.
…
At the same time, hundreds of Assassin Hall disciples waiting at the local martial temples received Tang Feng’s message via carrier pigeon. They quickly disguised themselves and left the temples, scattering in different directions.
But as Mu Family branches across the land received the pursuit orders, they joined forces with various gangs to form an impenetrable net, pursuing them across vast distances…
People were constantly surrounded and killed in the southern cities!
The one who received the most protection was naturally Tang Feng!
Although he was skilled with hidden weapons, the advantage of being personally taken care of by Happy was that he attracted a group of top ten strong fighters from different branches.
Death after death!
…
Thousands of miles away, when the people of Yipin Hall heard this news, Meng Yun shattered a thick Eight Immortals table on the spot!
“…”
“…”
Huang Sha remained silent.
Some time passed, and only rumors of Happy’s ruthless killing spree in the forests spread through the martial world…
In those rumors, Happy’s swordsmanship had reached an utterly unpredictable level—fast as lightning. Even without the aid of “Wind Spirit Spin,” he killed with precision, leaving people chilled to the bone.
“I’ve seen the power of Thunderbolt Fire Lightning; it can’t be wrong. I wonder how Happy managed to endure it.” After a long while, Meng Yun spoke, leaving Huang Sha deeply reflective.
“Hidden weapons will always remain hidden weapons—they can’t be used openly, especially firearms. Have you ever heard of any peerless master dying from a firearm?” Huang Sha snapped him out of his thoughts. “Even I, with the ‘Great Qi Shift’ and the ‘Immortal Dark King Art,’ could still survive such attacks. Moreover, Kai Xin not only possesses the ‘Nine Yang Divine Art’ but is also a master at the Liberation Realm. Who knows if he has the protection of that realm… If hidden weapons can easily destroy the number one in the world, then Tangmen will rule everything!”
“…”
Meng Yun frowned silently and slowly sat back down in his seat.
For the first time, Meng Yun grew worried about the consequences of breaking ties with the Mu family—things weren’t going smoothly, not only in Yangzhou but also with Kai Xin and the Mu family’s reactions.
…
Yangzhou City.
The battle was still ongoing.
As the demonic sounds invaded and their internal energy was drained rapidly, Hao Tian Li Qing and the others ran out of energy. After several rounds of arrow attacks from the rooftops, the troops in the Lingxiao Palace in the backyard could no longer hold their ground and retreated in disarray, allowing the Mu family to regain control of the situation.
In the other directions, the Mu family still held the upper hand—without masters like Longmen experts, Hao Tian, and Li Qing leading them, the others lacked the strength to break through the Mu family’s defenses.
The prolonged battle and the rising casualty numbers gradually dampened Qin Qing’s initial enthusiasm, until it finally plummeted to rock bottom.
Over several hours, the Mu family’s forces suffered less than 500 casualties…
But Lingxiao Palace had lost over 4,000 troops! Including some elite and top experts!
The staggering casualty ratio, along with the frequent bad news from the southern coastal cities, made Qin Qing even more determined to destroy the Mu family’s forces led by Yin Hu.
The southern coastal cities had been conquered by forces led by the Mu family, the Xiyi Gate, and the Fengyu Alliance. Nearly 10,000 people were killed, and resources worth over a billion were lost. Not only were all resource points lost and control taken away, but many disciples from Lingxiao Palace in those cities had also left, with the rest at a loss as to what to do.
If they couldn’t destroy the Mu family’s forces in time and seize the opportunity to advance westward into the heartland, the battle would end with Lingxiao Palace losing half of its territory and losing its status as a top faction.
Qin Qing couldn’t afford such an outcome, nor could Lingxiao Palace.
The Mu Family’s branch seemed to have turned into a tough nut to crack. After several fierce battles with Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall, they suffered heavy losses yet failed to significantly weaken Mu Family’s defensive forces. As dawn approached, Lingxiao Palace’s morale dipped slightly, and unrest arose among them. To some extent, they already knew about the situation of Lingxiao Palace’s branch in the southern coastal region! Compared to Mu Family’s actions, Lingxiao Palace’s massive attacks hadn’t even managed to take down one of Mu Family’s branches, while Mu Family’s counterattacks had wiped out Lingxiao Palace’s forces from the southern coastal cities… Many couldn’t help but question whether declaring war on Mu Family in alliance with Yipin Hall was truly wise. … “People are growing impatient, Palace Master. If this continues, not only will Mu Family’s branch be besieged into collapse, but we too will be brought down by rumors…” After a night, Shangguan Lian’s face showed signs of weariness. Several attempts at assault had yielded no results. Even Hai Dongqing, usually optimistic, hadn’t smiled in ages, sighing anxiously. Some might still be immersed in the mindset of besieging Mu Family’s branch, but many others had begun to consider the future based on its strength… If even one of Mu Family’s branches was so formidable, could Lingxiao Palace truly stand a chance in a full-scale confrontation? If the roles were reversed and Mu Family besieged Lingxiao Palace, could Lingxiao Palace hold its ground so well? Many people now had ominousomen… But all this unease vanished when an envoy from Yipin Hall arrived and exchanged a few words with Qin Qing. Suddenly, Qin Qing shed her previous gloom, became full of vigor, and issued several orders in quick succession. Tens of thousands of Lingxiao Palace’s troops immediately set in motion! Along with all the remaining troops from Yipin Hall! More than a dozen Dragon Gate experts entered combat readiness! Most of the troops gathered at the direction where the outer walls had collapsed and in Mu Family’s rear courtyard, where defenses were weaker… … One minute later, players across the entire Yangzhou city heard a thunderous explosion that shook their minds! Boom!!! Everyone stared in shock toward Mu Family’s branch…
