Chapter 820: Supervisor Cui

The more skilled a fighter is, the more likely they are to use the simplest and most direct methods to defeat their opponent. This was proven in Zhao Deyan’s case! Realizing that “Soul-Returning Claw” couldn’t cause any real damage to Kai Xin, Zhao Deyan promptly abandoned it. With a swirl of his cloak, his purple long spear pointed at Kai Xin like steel.
“He’s going all out!”
With a darkened gaze, Kai Xin didn’t dare let Zhao Deyan take the lead again. He grasped his Sword of the Gentleman and drew it out with a straightforward “clang”…
Ding!!
Under the starlight, a sharp and cold arc of sword energy, accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, descended from the sky. A small silver dragon shattered Zhao Deyan’s purple long spear…
A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed.
Under the astonished gazes of Kai Xin and Yu Yan, the purple cloak transformed into a spear indeed shattered under pressure, scattering in all directions. Yet the sharp metallic sound alerted Kai Xin.
Feeling a solid presence from the other side, Kai Xin immediately realized there was something suspicious about the cloak. He quickly activated his dragon form and turned into a shadow…
Amidst the flying shards of purple fabric, a dark iron long spear, like a black lightning bolt from the galaxy, instantly pierced through the shadow of Kai Xin left behind.
What a cunning Zhao Deyan—truly ruthless. There was even a long spear hidden in the cloak; no wonder he could hold it so easily. Kai Xin thought to himself how lucky he was.
But the danger hadn’t passed. The feeling of the spear missing its target in midair reminded Zhao Deyan. With a darkened gaze, he changed his tactics without hesitation…
Although Kai Xin dodged in time, his dragon form only allowed for limited evasion, not complete avoidance.
Bang!
Changing from a thrust to a sweep, Kai Xin was struck by the horizontal spear. He was sent flying over ten meters into the air as if struck by lightning.
But this time, Kai Xin reacted quickly. After his dragon form, he immediately activated his Arhat stance, concentrating most of his internal energy at one point to dispel the immense force from the spear. The damage wasn’t severe—but it still depleted much of his internal energy.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After landing, Kai Xin left six deep footprints in the ground before fully releasing his strength…
Yet his backward momentum didn’t weaken at all. Instead, with each step, he “fell” faster, leaving deeper footprints in the grass than before!
His retreat was unbelievably fast!
Yu Yan was puzzled at first but soon realized that Zhao Deyan had disappeared without a trace…

Her heart tightened as Yu Yan hurriedly focused intently on Happy’s figure. Finally, she spotted Zhao Deyan’s hazy silhouette, clinging tightly to Happy’s front like a parasitic worm. Yu Yan finally understood. Happy possessed the “Jiuyang Divine Skill,” granting him a much sharper sense than ordinary people, allowing him to detect and anticipate danger far faster. That’s why he used the situation to retreat quickly—had it been her, she would likely have been killed by Zhao Deyan long ago. “Mythical Realm…” Yu Yan stared intently at the two rapidly moving figures—one chasing, the other retreating—without blinking, unwilling to miss even a fraction of the scene. After all, between strong opponents, victory or death often hinges in an instant. Sure enough! After releasing all his strength, Happy used Zhao Deyan’s thrust as momentum to retreat at full speed, finally keeping a close eye on every move Zhao made. Without the obstructive cloak, Zhao Deyan’s techniques became fully visible… With the opportunities brought by their rapid movements, those short three seconds seemed like an eternity. *Cough!* With a shake of her wrist, the Gentleman Sword transformed into dozens of stars in the air, instantly blocking all of Zhao Deyan’s directions… “Trivial tricks!” With a cold snort, Zhao Deyan, who was prepared, thrust his spear, shattering most of the sword beams. *Clang, clang!* The remaining beams struck Zhao Deyan’s armor, sparking, yet he remained unharmed. Seeing this, Happy finally paled slightly! Although her “Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Style” had reached the ninth level, with its astonishing lethality, it was still far from enough against a being in the Mythical Realm. One reason was that the style belonged to the Speed-type Sword Art of the Liberation Realm; another was that Zhao Deyan’s strength was truly beyond comparison to even the best, and his perfect condition made it extremely difficult for Happy to counter him. “Again!” Though not reckless, Happy didn’t believe Zhao Deyan was truly invincible—after all, he wasn’t on par with the evil king “Shi Zhi Xuan”! More stars scattered forth! Zhao Deyan repeated the same move, shattering most of the sword beams again, with only a few landing on him, leaving no trace on his armor. There wasn’t even a brief struggle—those sword beam attacks were all deemed ineffective, with only faint sparks flashing across Zhao Deyan’s face. … In the underground base of the Beijing headquarters, as the supervisor listed the data one by one, the expressions of the staff gradually grew solemn.

“The Sky-Shattering Thunder Style, ninth level—pure attack power around eight thousand!”
“Fourth-stage Gentleman Sword, Perfect Guardian Divine Sword, top-tier divine weapon—attack power of six thousand points!”
“The Nine Yang Divine Skill—increases combat strength by 10%!”
“Emancipation Realm—increases abilities by 50%…”
“Happy’s ordinary sword—attack power around twenty-three thousand points… A total of four attacks hit Zhao Deyan… Zhao Deyan remains unharmed.”
After saying that, the man in charge raised his head expressionlessly and continued to watch the screen, as if nothing on it had anything to do with him.
But everyone could see a hint of seriousness and awe in each other’s eyes.
Invincible!
Happy, in the Emancipation Realm, not only had equipment at the peak level but also displayed unparalleled strength and adaptability in battle.
The sword light he emitted while retreating could easily kill a master of the Wuwei Realm in an instant…
Yet such attacks had no effect on Zhao Deyan!
Even Li Mei, who had remained silent until now, showed a slight look of surprise: “Manager Cui, if I’m not mistaken, Zhao Deyan’s strength is likely greater than that of ordinary Mythical Realm beings, almost on par with those four from the main camp…”
“No.”
After those two simple words, there was no further speech.
Although the others were somewhat disappointed, they understood the rules here.
Information already discovered by players in the game could be queried, but the strength and stats of NPCs that hadn’t been revealed or disclosed by players were not allowed to be accessed.
Everyone’s gaze returned to the screen…
Happy’s repeated attacks not only achieved nothing but also drained a lot of his internal energy, causing Zhao Deyan to laugh wildly:
“…Useless!”
While closely chasing after Happy, Zhao Deyan laughed heartily:
“You brat from the Murong family, even if you possess many masterful skills, without enough strength, you’re still good for nothing. One force can overcome ten—surely you understand that principle.”
“Is that so? Then why do you always leave only four sword lights?”
His cold voice carried a hint of sarcasm. Before his words faded, an astonishing aura came from the other side. Zhao Deyan immediately stopped speaking, his eyes filled with surprise. The sword light shone as brightly as ever, the only difference being…
Happy charged headlong toward Zhao Deyan!
