Chapter 936: “The Immortal Body”
Every step was a battle in this confined space.
It was the first time for Kai Xin to engage in a life-or-death fight in such a narrow environment. When he seized the opportunity to strike repeatedly and finally killed the severely wounded python, silence returned to the room. Looking around at the bloodstains, the overwhelming stench, and the chaotic mess, Kai Xin felt a sense of relief.
Although the room was very small and everything was visible from the center, he had already encountered danger here many times…
Every step was fraught with deadly threats!
One wrong step could mean death.
Unlike many places he had been to before, this place revealed the meticulousness and cruelty of those who set traps.
But since he was still alive, Kai Xin certainly wouldn’t give up what he deserved so easily.
The bed in the adjacent room remained unmade, its interior dark and empty, with a foul smell. A deep passage led to an unknown world—likely quite spacious, possibly hiding things unknown to others.
“Since I died once yesterday, I might as well go down and check. There’s no reason there wouldn’t be traps in a python’s lair…”
Preparing for the worst while rationally analyzing the situation, Kai Xin leaped into the mysterious passage.
“Wow.”
Hiss!!
The dark cave was extremely cold, with poor visibility. Kai Xin had no choice but to use his fire scroll to light the way.
As the light appeared, the interior became visible…
In front of the vast cave was a shimmering, cold pool. Kai Xin was only a few dozen feet away from it. To the left, there were piles of bones, mostly human bones. Strangely, among them lay a relatively intact human corpse, its clothes completely torn, resting in a corner chained up…
“Hm?”
Kai Xin’s sharp eyes quickly noticed something unusual about the corpse. With a swipe of his hand, the already tattered clothes were torn aside, revealing a special silk book hidden inside.
“A martial arts manual!”
Kai Xin’s eyelids twitched.
“Dragon Seizing Hand.”
He grabbed the silk book from the corpse and, under the light of the fire scroll, wiped away the dust to reveal bold, powerful characters:
“The Immortal Body”
“The Immortal Body”:
A defensive martial art. Requirements: Base strength 280, arm strength 200, comprehension 240, agility 200. Can be practiced at the Liberation realm.
“The defensive techniques at the Liberation Realm are quite good…” Kai Xin was secretly relieved: “Although what I got isn’t what I need most right now, even the fairly common defensive technique in the martial world, the ‘Arhat Body,’ can be sold at the price of top-tier Liberation Realm martial arts manuals. Anyone with Liberation Realm-level defensive skills would be highly sought after by many factions, making them a scarce resource. The value of this book even exceeds that of Liberation Realm-level hidden weapon techniques.” After searching thoroughly, he found nothing else in the cave, so Kai Xin left the Python’s lair with the ‘Immortal Body’ book. He searched the house again and picked up two ordinary first-class pieces of equipment; aside from the bookshelf, there was nothing else worth noting. But just before leaving, Kai Xin never even touched the bookshelf filled with countless precious secret manuals! Firstly, because it seemed unreliable. Secondly, he had a strong intuition that approaching it would bring bad luck, so he simply took a quick look around and left. … When Kai Xin entered, it was still bright daylight, but by the time he left, many torches had been lit in the courtyard, illuminating everything brightly. As soon as the door opened, the light hit his face. “He’s out!” Strange shouts echoed, along with countless intense gazes filled with undisguised murderous intent. A strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him! Kai Xin instantly entered a state of being alert to everything around him! The ‘Golden Bell Shield’ and the ‘Little Dragon Form’ were activated simultaneously. Before the people outside could act, Kai Xin rushed out of the house… Staring at the “Blood” symbol on the chests of the martial artists in front of him, his pupils narrowed slightly, and his movements became faster. The people outside had waited too long and were caught off guard by the sound of the door opening, so they didn’t act immediately. Since their companions were surrounding the house, no one panicked at first—until they saw him burst out like a swift leopard. Only then did they realize this guy wasn’t an ordinary Life and Death Realm player. A master who had ranked among the top 16 globally during his Life and Death Realm days, and even rumored to possibly defeat Bloodclothes to make it into the top eight! “Surround him!” “Don’t let him escape!” The crowd suddenly stood up, drawing their swords, with the sounds of their realms activating one after another. The once quiet courtyard instantly became chaotic, the atmosphere extremely tense! “Haha, the Blood Alliance arrived quite quickly—you smelled the opportunity right away!” A clear laugh, brimming with confidence, echoed throughout the courtyard: “Perfect. Take a message back for me when you go.”
When the members of the Blood Alliance started attacking, everything blurred before their eyes—some of their comrades were instantly captured by Happy. With a pull and tug, they fell to the ground obediently, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
That person was truly unlucky. Initially, seeing Happy approaching, he was filled with joy and activated his combat skills and protective barriers, ready to show this former top expert from a year and a half ago just how much of a gap existed in their strength!
But the moment he thrust out his seemingly ingenious sword strike, he didn’t even interrupt the other person’s words. With a light laugh, the latter confidently slapped his hand, twisted it, and he spun around before falling to the ground…
“Get lost!!”
Happy didn’t kill this unlucky guy right away. With a single swing of his fist, the man’s body, weighing over a hundred pounds, was flung horizontally at the group behind him.
The others couldn’t catch him nor avoid him!
In the courtyard, the Blood Alliance members became chaotic… Some rushed forward while others tried to retreat.
At the back of the crowd, those who specialized in traps felt the greatest sense of crisis. Due to their weak close-combat skills, they quickly realized that it was almost impossible for the Sawtooth Brothers to take down Happy. They retreated to set up traps, leaving their comrades to fight Happy alone.
Diving into the crowd, Happy showed the Blood Alliance members what strength ranked among the world’s top sixteen entailed.
In a head-on clash between the Life and Death Realm and the Liberation Realm, he wouldn’t do this—since both sides’ equipment could absorb damage. If he didn’t strike, nothing would happen; but if he did, it would be fatal.
Whoosh!
As his sword passed close by, a half-foot-deep trench appeared at Happy’s feet…
He crouched down. In an instant, he disappeared from the sight of the group behind that Blood Alliance disciple.
Curling up, he rushed into the attacker’s arms, using a technique that sent hidden energy through the back. The moment he struck the attacker’s internal organs, he spun like a millstone in their arms.
It seemed intimate…
But every elbow strike, wrist strike, or clawed hand carried astonishingly powerful hidden energy.
The attacker’s body trembled uncontrollably, unable to gather internal strength to counterattack. In an instant, their internal organs were shattered.
“Too fragile!”
“Is this what a Blood Alliance disciple is?”
With a loud cry, Happy grabbed the corpse of the Blood Alliance member and swung it violently, sending it flying left and right with a thunderous sound.
“Don’t hurt your own people.”
It took Happy less than three seconds from the attack to the killing. The Sawtooth Brothers and the others still hadn’t realized their companion had already been killed. Seeing the dark figure flying toward them, they quickly pulled back to avoid it.
With this retreat, he handed himself over.
Happy paid no attention to the attacks from the other side. After moving, he became like a shadow, swiftly approaching the three Blood Alliance disciples.
He didn’t need to use his eyes—he relied on his intuition…
The three immediately tightened their stance, giving Happy the chance he needed.
Dragon-Seizing Hand!!
The moment the man on the left sensed the danger, he was pulled over involuntarily. His body stiffened; he didn’t even have time to warn anyone before his throat tightened and he heard the sound of bones breaking.
In another world, Happy had used this move to kill Zhou Yu in an instant.
He originally thought it would be unlikely to succeed against someone at the Liberation Realm, but his strength proved effective—blame only the opponent’s weak foundation.
Now, killing was meant to enable him to kill more.
Without changing his expression, he pressed down, using the force from the already dead man’s back to flip toward the other man! His Vajra Demon Subduing Leg shot out instantly.
A fierce kick from above crushed the guy standing nearby, sending him face-first to the ground.
Bang!!
The third man, just awakened, saw his brother with a severed throat flying toward him—Happy’s 265 strength allowed him to use people as projectiles effortlessly!
This was already the third time…
Flying in the air!
The greatest advantage of being alone is not having to worry about companions, allowing one to fight as they please and disrupt the battlefield at will;
but the Blood Alliance’s numerical advantage was greatly restricted. In the chaos, they kept getting distracted by Happy, unable to act decisively.
When the fourth guy was grabbed by Dragon-Seizing Hand, knocked out, and thrown aside, Sawed-Off Brother could no longer hold back!
“Get out of the way!!”
He had brought over twenty disciples—not only to boost his reputation and create witnesses but also to prevent Happy from escaping.
How could he have expected Happy to unleash such violent terror even against twenty people, wiping out three in the blink of an eye and injuring two? His companions not only failed to deter Happy but also made it difficult for them to get close.
Seeing the situation worsen, he finally couldn’t resist and ordered everyone to back off.
Swish!!
The sound of metal scraping against air filled the air.
Sawed-Off Brother glared at Happy, who was standing on the neck of the man on the ground. Two serrated blades, one on each side, emitted a fierce, bloodthirsty glow.
“That’s it.”
“Is that so?”
Happy seemed to ignore Sawed-Off Brother’s gritted-teeth declaration. He glanced at the dozen or so Blood Alliance members behind them and smiled faintly:
“For me, this is just starting to get interesting…”
