Chapter 973: Danger
A year and a half of slumber should have left ordinary people far behind the times!
Someone like Happy, who became instantly famous upon returning to the battlefield, is truly unique…
On one hand, Happy had a solid foundation here—his mastery of various martial arts was thorough, allowing him to wield techniques effortlessly. On the other hand, it was also thanks to his advanced development in the other world over that year and a half—he encountered many experts at the Mythical realm, broadened his horizons, and naturally surpassed many others!
But…
After all, this world had been around for five years, meaning its top players had far more experience than what Happy had gained in the other world over a year and a half. This advantage wasn’t evident among ordinary players or experts, but when facing the most elite fighters, including those from the Wild Wolf Organization, Happy finally realized his shortcomings and the crisis caused by that year and a half of inactivity!
He had never heard of Yan Lang’s tactics before…
The power obtained by wildly releasing his own vital energy actually trapped him in a state where he couldn’t move for a moment. Combined with the attacks from the Blood Hell Blade, it created a deadly situation!
At that critical moment!
Happy quickly deduced that Yan Lang’s special move, achieved through immense internal energy, must be a type of powerful control martial art similar to an energy field. He immediately gave up evading and gritted his teeth to endure the Blade’s strike.
Thud!
The blade, like the setting sun, flashed across Happy’s chest, leaving a glaring blood trail…
True to his reputation as a member of the Wild Wolf Organization, he not only had a resilient mindset but also superior fighting skills. The blade’s power wasn’t extremely strong, but it was combined with hidden energy, causing Happy’s internal energy to surge violently. He was lifted off the ground and lost his balance.
“Kill him!”
Yan Lang, holding his neck, glared fiercely at Happy, who was flying backward. His chest heaved violently—clearly, the previous attack had cost him dearly.
“Don’t worry, he can’t escape now.”
In an instant, the Blood Hell Blade chased after Happy, delivering three consecutive strikes that left him covered in blood. He could barely touch the ground and staggered dozens of meters away.
At this point, Happy’s silver robe was torn with several cracks, and his chest bore several terrifying wounds! Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth—his appearance was as disheveled as it could get…
By the time the fifth strike landed on Kai Xin, he was already on the verge of collapse. Clutching his sword, he stepped frantically back under the onslaught of the Blood Hell Blade, his movements disordered as if he could barely stand, seemingly about to collapse at any moment into the hands of the Blood Hell Blade.
The Blood Hell Blade, with a cold expression, pressed hard on the retreating Kai Xin. Its sharp blade glinted menacingly as it advanced relentlessly, and its icy words shot out like bullets: “If you had appeared with Feng Ling, perhaps we would have hesitated a bit. It’s laughable that you came alone… Die!!”
As he spoke, his momentum surged suddenly, and his long sword emitted a wave of silver light, like an overwhelming tide: “Silver Sea Ripples!” The silver light surged violently toward Kai Xin.
Yet just as the Blood Hell Blade, full of triumph, prepared to end it all with its ultimate move, its pupils contracted in shock. It could hardly believe that Kai Xin, who seemed on the verge of collapse, suddenly stopped in his tracks at the moment it attacked. His disheveled aura turned, and he thrust his sword into the vast sea of silver light!
The onlookers around didn’t find this strange at all. In their eyes, Kai Xin had long been unable to hold on, struggling against the Blood Hell Blade despite his severe injuries. Defeat and death were only a matter of time.
The Blood Hell Blade’s suddenly unleashed ultimate move carried immense power, creating a devastating pressure even for those watching from afar. Kai Xin’s desperate struggle was merely an attempt to prove his will!
But…
The unthinkable happened. The faint glint from Kai Xin’s thrusting sword, once it penetrated those waves like a galaxy, caused the Blood Hell Blade’s aura to vanish like a deflated balloon.
Bang! Bang!!
Kai Xin, who seemed too weak to even move a tree, was struck like by lightning, flying more than ten meters away with a muffled groan.
As for the Blood Hell Blade—once the dominant wolf warrior—after its blade’s power collapsed, it stared at Kai Xin in disbelief for several seconds. Seeing that Kai Xin stood up again, panting but unharmed, disappointment and resentment flashed in its eyes.
“You can’t even kill me like this.” Those words burst from the Blood Hell Blade’s mouth.
It was only then that the onlookers in the distance noticed a faint, invisible red line appearing around the Blood Hell Blade’s neck…
As soon as those words were spoken, the red line became clear, and blood gushed out!
Under the stunned gazes of many, the Blood Hell Blade lay on the ground, blood dripping from its throat, its body falling stiffly between Kai Xin and Yan Lang.
“…”
Including Yanlang, no one expected things to turn out this way! Blood Hell Blade, who was clearly in the upper hand, was actually killed by Happy, who was covered in blood and on the verge of death… Many players were confused, their eyes shifting between the corpse and Happy, who was gasping for breath, as they struggled to speak: “What exactly happened?” “How did he die?” Although Happy was alive and the death of the skilled wolf warrior was a relief, everyone, including Little Li, didn’t know what Happy had done at the moment Blood Hell Blade used his ultimate move… How did Happy survive? He survived under Blood Hell Blade’s terrifying attacks and even managed to kill that top-tier warrior with a single strike. Yanlang’s eyes were also fixed intently on Happy, staring in disbelief. “What exactly did you do?” Faced with Yanlang’s demand, Happy, who was covered in wounds and in extreme pain, took several deep breaths before smiling and answering, “What did I do? Why don’t you ask what your companion did? Stop talking nonsense. Now that only you’re left in the trio, go meet him at the Martial Temple!” Happy spoke slowly and with difficulty, as every syllable he uttered caused intense pain due to his injuries. The power of the Wuwei Sword Technique was truly remarkable! His half-baked Immortal Body technique provided decent defense, but it was broken by the fourth strike! If it weren’t for the Bone Tendon Scripture’s ability to protect the periosteum and offset some of the dark energy’s damage, he would likely have been killed by the fifth strike! No one knew that it was precisely at that most critical moment that Happy finally understood the wonders of the Bone Tendon Scripture in battle. The more severe the injuries, the stronger its self-healing ability became… Wounds appeared! The meridians automatically closed, stopping the bleeding quickly; dark energy entered the body, strengthening the periosteum instantly, reducing the damage from the dark energy, and allowing for rapid recovery. Despite being battered by Blood Hell Blade’s attacks earlier, the Bone Tendon Scripture enabled him to recover from some of the injuries in just a few breaths; naturally, Happy didn’t sit idly by. Dark energy could harm people, but it could also protect them! By concentrating true energy on the affected areas, defense increased significantly, making it difficult for Blood Hell Blade’s subsequent attacks to cause real damage. The reason he didn’t counterattack was also to create distance from Yanlang…
He was worried that if the Fiery Wolf could use those tactics again, even with a miraculous skill like the “Meridians Training Manual,” it would still be impossible to withstand the relentless attacks of the Blood Hell Blade. The Fiery Wolf hadn’t followed—Kai Xin already had thoughts of counterattacking! But to his surprise, the Blood Hell Blade chose this moment to unleash its ultimate move against him… This over-the-top move involved illusions that created the illusion of invincibility—unfortunately, the Blood Hell Blade didn’t realize that Kai Xin’s ability to sense directions through sound, combined with the heightened senses from the “Meridians Training Manual,” made him completely immune to such illusions. At the peak of this move, the Blood Hell Blade was at its most vulnerable… Seizing the opportunity, Kai Xin struck a killing blow! He executed a counterattack straight out of a textbook… None of the onlookers around could figure out how Kai Xin did it. Although the Fiery Wolf was smart and realized that Kai Xin might be exhausted after fighting the Blood Hell Blade and thus easy to defeat, Kai Xin had always pretended to be weak and oppressed. Yet, in a desperate situation, he unexpectedly managed to defeat the Blood Hell Blade at its peak! The death of the Blood Hell Blade shocked him so much that he began to doubt his own assumptions—was this all part of Kai Xin’s trick? This pause allowed Kai Xin to breathe a sigh of relief. He had been terrified. To defeat the Blood Hell Blade, Kai Xin used the powerful “Destruction of This Life” from the “Demonic Hong World Annihilation Technique,” sacrificing 200 points of internal energy and dropping his cultivation level to thedeath realm realm. If the Fiery Wolf had attacked then, Kai Xin would still have met a tragic end. Unfortunately… After weighing the pros and cons, the Fiery Wolf cautiously decided to create distance and buy time. Kai Xin smiled. Although a master of the Mythical Realm had already been sent, since the one killed in the city was Tian Sha Xing, Kai Xin bet the Fiery Wolf wasn’t aware of the difference in treatment. If an ordinary martial artist were killed in the city, a master of the Mythical Realm would rush there immediately to maintain peace. But sadly… Killing Tian Sha Xing in the city meant the killer would still be wanted, but the master of the Mythical Realm would be somewhat lazy and take a few minutes before showing up. The Fiery Wolf was from the Wild Wolf Organization and was clearly using such tactics to infiltrate the Central Plains for the first time! By the time Kai Xin’s injuries had mostly healed thanks to the “Meridians Training Manual,” the masters of the Mythical Realm from the Six Gates still hadn’t appeared. Instead, Jin Luo Sha, who had been killed by Kai Xin earlier, returned with fierce killing intent, stepping out of the crowd amid the screams of countless players.
Hearing the noise behind him, Kai Xin turned around happily only to see Jin Luosha. With a fierce expression, the latter rushed at him without pause. From the momentum and speed he displayed, it was clear that he was not injured at all.
“The Wild Wolf Organization is truly wealthy.”
While dodging, Kai Xin sighed in admiration.
