Chapter 860: Encounter! Happy vs. Rongsen

As the men of Thirteen Eagles withdrew, the male and female demons’ gazes toward Rongsen instantly turned strange—filled with wariness, speculation, and caution.
It was laughable that they had thought Rongsen was just an ordinary player from Mongolia…
Unexpectantly, even the “Eagle King with a Jade Face,” whom they believed they couldn’t defeat, couldn’t withstand a few moves from this unassuming brute.
“I’m sorry for any offense earlier. I hope this friend can forgive me.”
The purple-haired man, being a villain, was also cunning enough to take the initiative to show weakness and seek peace.
Rongsen didn’t respond. His eyes remained fixed on the two riders speeding toward him, his proud brows brimming with fighting spirit!
“They’re coming.”
At that moment, Wanwan seemed to have already noticed and recognized the identities of the newcomers. She stepped forward gracefully, her enchanting figure exuding a stunning allure in the darkness:
“People from Cihang Jingzhai… One can always run into her wherever they go…”
“Shi Feixuan?”
Upon hearing this, the male and female demons exchanged a quick glance, becoming more vigilant.
Wanwan turned and glanced at them three times, her gaze stopping on Rongsen’s face:
“The opportunity is right in front of you. If you can capture Shi Feixuan, it will be a great achievement. When you return, I’ll personally reward you—rank, merits, and rewards, nothing will be left out.”
“Shi Feixuan?”
The male and female demons took a deep breath secretly, while Rongsen couldn’t help but let out a light snort. He stepped forward, heading toward the approaching riders…
He had stayed here long enough for this mission. Now that the main characters had arrived, how could he hold back?
…
Just as Wanwan spotted Shi Feixuan, Shi Feixuan also detected Wanwan’s unique scent on the dark grassland, along with the stench of blood from the corpses of the scouts. Frowning, she turned to Happy:
“The scouts have indeed been killed—work of the demons.”
“What do you want me to do?”
With the Nine Yang Divine Skill at his disposal, Happy had also noticed the piles of corpses and the four enchanting figures standing among them.
“The enemy is numerous and strong. There’s also a high chance that demons are lurking nearby. While I investigate their plans, you clear the way for me. If things go wrong, we retreat immediately,” Shi Feixuan ordered clearly.
“Okay!”
As Happy nodded, a clear system prompt sounded in his ears:
“Mission triggered… Protect Shi Feixuan and get her out of here safely—return to the camp!”

“If successful, 2,000 military points will be awarded, and the relationship with Shi Feixuan will improve to trust; if failed, Shi Feixuan will die, her rank will be reset, and all her combat achievements will be erased!”
“……”
The severe punishment for failing the task made Kai Xin more vigilant—since the system said so, there must be ruthless enemies around who could threaten Shi Feixuan.
Both for personal reasons and duty, Kai Xin couldn’t bear to let Shi Feixuan get hurt.
Immediately, he activated the “Unity of Man and Horse Technique”! Forcing his horse’s speed to increase, he rushed past Shi Feixuan like an arrow leaving the bow.
“Huh?”
At the moment he passed by Shi Feixuan’s mount from the side, a pleasant, puzzled voice reached Kai Xin’s ears.
Clearly, Shi Feixuan recognized that this was the “Unity of Man and Horse Technique” known only to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong…
But Kai Xin didn’t have time to worry about that now.
To find out as much as possible about the situation ahead and reduce the threat to Shi Feixuan, the best way was to step forward and draw the enemy’s fire.
“Kai Xin!”
“It’s Kai Xin!!”
The first sentence was Wanwan’s annoyed snort, while the second was the exclamation of the male and female demons.
The two never expected that right after getting rid of those plague-bringers like the Thirteen Eagles, they would encounter another opponent they couldn’t match—both a man and a woman. Their expressions instantly turned grim. Even though Wanwan was right in front of them, they didn’t dare to move forward lightly.
At that moment…
Rong Sen had already rushed out more than twenty meters, each step causing a slight tremor in the ground, invisibly affecting everything within dozens of meters.
Just as Kai Xin urged his horse to close the distance to within thirty meters, he was suddenly pulled out of the “Unity of Man and Horse Technique” by some unknown force. Frowning slightly, he showed a look of surprise and seriousness.
Without hesitation, he leaped off his horse.
Whoosh!!!
A clear sword sound echoed far and wide, drawing a brilliant sword aura in the dark night sky. It flashed out like lightning, aimed straight at Rong Sen…
Since it was an enemy, Kai Xin didn’t hesitate at all.
Moreover, having been pulled out prematurely, he sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura from the Mongolian man across from him—a master!
So, he unleashed the “Imperial Shocking Art” without holding back.
Although Rong Sen didn’t know who he was facing, as a man who had grown up on horseback, he could already sense Kai Xin’s extraordinary speed…
So fast!
He immediately put aside some of his contempt and prepared himself tightly.
As the sword aura swept over, Rong Sen was clearly stunned, then filled with ecstasy…
Roar!!!!
Without dodging, he took two steps forward!

A roar like that of a dragon or an elephant soared into the sky. In that instant, Kai Xin clearly perceived two astonishing shockwaves spreading invisibly. The otherwise invincible “Imperial Shocking Art” had already lost much of its lethality in mid-air before even hitting its target. At the same time, that dragon- or elephant-like roar pierced his ears, subtly shaking his heartstrings—as if he were not facing a person but a majestic, towering elephant! “A formidable opponent!” Without hesitation… Kai Xin activated his Arhat stance, breaking through the pressure of those two invisible forces and landing firmly on the ground. Whoosh!! Without any pause, over a dozen sharp sword beams erupted in front of Rong Sen. Continuously! Rong Sen’s expression changed; he dared not delay and stepped forward swiftly, crossing his arms in front of his chest! Thud! Thud! This time, his steps were much faster, heavier, and more steady, even causing a slight tremor in the ground—his presence was truly awe-inspiring. As he exerted his “Dragon-Elephant Aura,” Rong Sen also activated his “Dragon-Elephant Energy Field.” The attacks of the top expert in the Central Plains, in terms of speed, frequency, and power, were beyond comparison to those of the Jade-Faced Eagle King… Despite being blocked and weakened by the Dragon-Elephant Aura, each of his dozen sword strikes managed to create deep, sharp dents in the Dragon-Elephant Energy Field. “Impressive!” Rong Sen’s expression turned grave; he dared not slack off and gradually unleashed his full strength. With a serious expression, Rong Sen fought on. Kai Xin was equally shocked! The strength of his opponent exceeded his expectations. Though it still didn’t match the pressure he felt when facing an emperor, the opponent clearly wasn’t skilled in attacks. After several rounds of the “Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Style,” he hadn’t managed to harm the opponent even slightly—let alone penetrate their energy field, let alone their defenses… “When did the ‘Prajna Dragon-Elephant Skill’ become so powerful?” Kai Xin wondered inwardly. As he continued to attack, he glanced around and saw that Shi Feixuan was already fighting alongside Wanwan and the male and female demons.
