Chapter 931: The Hunter Family
Lions and white tigers are considered fierce beasts, but under the training of beast tamer and with the help of medicinal treatments, their strength can rival that of spiritual beasts. Though they still can’t compare to spiritual creatures like the nine-tailed fox or the drought demon, their robust physiques, exceptional bone structure, and the strength befitting kings of the forests are beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts experts. With a bone structure and strength of over 350, coupled with an exceptionally strong physique, they have few weaknesses at all.
The team before them likely chose this group of engineers capable of sudden, explosive power as a second-best option, as they were unable to assemble a top-tier team strong enough to rival a beast tamer’s squad. But now…
The situation was desperate. Having received a rescue request, they were eager to act. They tried to make use of the white tiger and lion to their advantage, quickly mounting their mounts and charging at the two lions on the left.
“Thank you, sir, for coming to our aid!”
“No!”
The team leader was initially pleased upon seeing the stranger charge in without hesitation, but soon his face turned to horror. “Be careful! Don’t let them get close…”
The other party didn’t even draw a weapon before rushing straight at the lions. Everyone was panicked. The fleeing engineers were even ready to use hidden weapons to rescue them…
A few people hurried to set up traps further back. Amidst the crowd’s screams, Happy rushed headlong toward the bloody, smelly maws of the lions!
It was merely the realm of Wuwei. At the moment when the lion’s claws, capable of shattering boulders, swept toward him, he dodged and interlaced his hands. Hidden energy was poured into the lion’s body; miraculously, he slid beneath the lion—using the technique of “Jingang Liao Zhu”! Using both hands and feet, he pulled and lifted, flipping the lion with minimal effort—“Four ounces to move a thousand pounds”!
The lion’s roar turned into a panicked howl as its massive body twisted mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground. Boom!! The force of the impact made the ground tremble. A shockwave of wind and dust erupted.
But it wasn’t over yet. With the lion’s bone structure and physique, such a fall wouldn’t cause serious injuries—just minor wounds at most…
Roar!!! The lion tried to turn over. Happy retreated two steps at high speed, just avoiding its swipe. By then, the engineers behind him were utterly stunned…
The technique of “Four ounces to move a thousand pounds” was known to many skilled martial artists, but applying it skillfully against such fierce beasts like those in the Myriad Beasts Villa was extremely difficult.
Firstly, these fierce beasts wouldn’t easily take to the air and expose themselves; their heavy bodies made it difficult for many masters to use subtle strength to deliver a decisive strike. Their astonishing physical foundation, formidable arm strength, as well as their sharp claws and jaws with incredible biting power, limited the abilities of martial arts experts. But how could anyone not be shocked to see Happy use his not particularly robust body to execute such powerful techniques? Roar!!! After the lion turned over, it shook its feet and, like a suddenly accelerating locomotive, charged at Happy with its gaping maw and fangs ready to strike. Dragon Form. Dodging the lion’s claws that swept past him, Happy laughed heartily and swiftly grabbed the lion’s back legs… Before the lion could turn around and bite him, he used the lion’s forward momentum to spin on his feet. The poor lion made another extremely close encounter with the ground—this scene left the engineers behind feeling horrified, as if they were witnessing facial disfigurement. On the other side, thanks to Happy’s distraction, the engineers used hidden weapons to harass and attack the other lion, keeping the situation under control; others took the opportunity to set up several traps. “Hey, friend, you can lure it over here,” someone called to Happy. Happy didn’t respond but, when the lion attacked for the third time, he threw it to the ground again with force. Three times in a row, each time with more intensity, causing increasing damage. Even the strong-bodied lion could barely withstand it; it staggered to its feet, shaking its head violently, its steps unsteady. “That’s enough.” Seeing this, Happy didn’t hesitate and charged forward. Roar!!! The lion bit into empty air once more. It turned to retreat, seemingly wary, trying to avoid being thrown to the ground again. But this time, Happy clearly had no intention of continuing the struggle. At the moment the lion retreated, he kicked it in the face with a single foot. Vajra Demon Subduing Leg. Too fast! In an instant, the lion took four kicks in a row, screaming in pain. If not for its strong physique and remarkable resistance to impact, its head would have long been blown apart… “So tough!” Happy was filled with excitement. “Again!” It was the first time he had encountered a beast with such high physical strength, and his fighting spirit grew uncontrollable. The lion’s claws flashed in front of him, skimming past his face; yet Happy smiled in that life-or-death moment, slapped with one hand, and sent hidden energy rushing into the lion’s body.
Seizing the moment when the lion’s strength faded, a Rohan Kao rolled off its back, simultaneously using a hidden weight… The poor lion’s waist instantly sank. Elbow strike! Series of kicks! The lion roared in pain again. In fury, it lunged with a fierce bite… “Be good.” A happy punch landed even faster on the lion’s nose. Blood sprayed. Amidst the lion’s agonized roars, four punches and eight kicks drove the male lion back step by step. The crowd outside was stunned. Only then did they realize that the strange player they had called for help had only reached the Life and Death realm, yet he held complete dominance in the direct confrontation with the lion. Every counterattack by the lion was anticipated, and taking advantage of that, more punches and kicks struck it with fierce speed. “What are you staring at? Come help!” Injuries had already appeared among the team leaders. Finally, the engineer reacted: “Lure them over…” “Let’s set up more traps!” “Okay!” But just then, a whistle sounded again—three long tones and one short. The two lions that had almost rushed into the traps stopped abruptly! They glared fiercely and resentfully at the engineer, avoided the traps, and turned to charge at the two Henglian Taibao and Happy. Although the group here was no longer a threat, their expressions grew even darker. With a trainer directing them from the shadows, their traps would be useless! The two Henglian Taibao members were clearly struggling, in grave danger. “Be careful!” “The lion!!” Happy had already beaten the lion under his control into a state of disarray and near-death. Seeing another lion charging toward him, his gaze turned icy, and he stepped forward with force. Crack!! The lion’s throat bone was crushed by his unleashed hidden energy, killing it instantly. The trainer obviously noticed that one of his remaining four lions was gone, and two more rushed forward at once, one in front and one behind, allowing the two anxious Henglian Taibao members to breathe a sigh of relief. Happy naturally wouldn’t let the two lions charge at him together. With a swift move, he took the initiative to attack! The leading lion saw a blur before it, then its body was pulled by an unexpected force, lifting it off the ground. The world spun! Boom!!! The ground trembled. The lion was knocked dizzy. Once free of the lion, Happy didn’t even bother to look at it. He took a deep breath, stepped forward with force, and rushed to meet the second lion, repeating the same move.
But the second flying lion had a target—the first lion that was trying to get up from the ground. As soon as it rose, it was startled by a black object flying toward it and quickly dodged. Bang!! The ground shook. Without time to check on its companion’s injuries, the first lion lunged at it with its sharp fangs. Using a clever tactic, with two lions involved and time pressing, Happy didn’t dare pause and instead grabbed the second lion by its hind legs and threw it again. Bang!! It hit the city wall of the Myriad Beasts Villa. Not far away, a group of people watched the two lions take turns attacking but were completely unable to do anything against the strange player, gradually understanding what was going on. “Rhythm.” “Skill combined with rhythm—seems difficult at first, but actually they’re in control the whole time. Tsk tsk, what amazing skills… But it seems like they still have some strength left.” “That’s incredible. If our team had such a master, we wouldn’t just be fighting around the outskirts of the Myriad Beasts Villa.” While dealing with the other two white tigers and one lion, the group exchanged ideas, and their situation became less dangerous. Happy was fully immersed in the joy of cultivation. The “Meridians Strengthening Scripture” not only enhanced innate attributes but also brought significant improvements in combat. His movements were very smooth… With the meridians expanded, his internal energy seemed to gather faster; using hidden strength also became effortless. Moreover, fighting the lions—whether it was back-to-back collisions or lifting objects—it seemed to further activate the expansion and protective effects of the “Meridians Strengthening Scripture.” With each breath, it continuously improved his physique. Although slowly, after a day of completing three cycles, there was still an improvement. Though slow, it satisfied Happy greatly. Because he was now at the peak of the Life and Death realm and was about to enter the Liberation realm… At this rate, perhaps when the “Meridians Strengthening Scripture” reached its third stage, it would be the moment of liberation from life and death! “Keep going!” Happy fought fiercely against the two lions, oblivious to everything else. It wasn’t until the people over there disrupted the trainer’s control with hidden weapons and then lured the two white tigers and one lion into traps with poison, causing heavy casualties, that the battle ended. Happy threw one prey and killed the second lion; however, the trainer ran inside the Myriad Beasts Villa. “For your help just now, Mu Qi represents all members of the ‘Hunter Family’ in expressing our gratitude!” After the battle, Team Leader Mu Qi came over: “I wonder what your name is, brother.”
“It’s a trivial matter; the name isn’t even worth mentioning.” Happy actually just wanted to take this opportunity to test the strength of Wanshou Villa and the properties of the Yi Jin Jing, with no intention of forming a close relationship. “Will you take the items?”
“Of course. The materials and equipment from the lion can be worth up to 1.5 million silver taels. But since you only killed two beasts, each yielding one piece of equipment, the total is 2 million. Here are the silver notes; please keep them safe.” The captain agreed readily.
Happy took the silver notes and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, walked alone into Wanshou Villa.
