Chapter 985: Forced Assault

Bang!
Bang bang!!
As time passed, the foundation stone of the Heaven Demon Branch Gang, left unguarded, developed over a dozen cracks. Under Happy’s relentless attacks, these cracks showed signs of further spreading and expanding.
“Since you don’t intend to defend, I’ll flatten the Heaven Demon Branch Gang first before going out to chase you!” Happy had already decided, after losing a batch of people in the First Rank Hall, not to risk sending troops lightly. His primary goal was to destroy the gang’s foundation stone.
Since Bloodclothes and Mengyun had resorted to drastic measures, he certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to embarrass them!
It took nearly ten minutes before the gang’s foundation stone finally lost half of its defensive strength under Happy’s attacks.
If he continued with attacks of the same intensity, Happy believed it wouldn’t be long before the Heaven Demon Branch Gang became history.
“Hm?”
At that moment, Happy’s ears twitched.
Frequent sounds of arrows piercing the air came from outside the Heaven Demon Branch Gang.
Turning his gaze, Happy saw over three hundred disciples from the First Rank Hall climbing over the wall into the courtyard, each holding bows and arrows, seemingly planning to use the same old tactics as before.
“…”
Seeing this, Happy instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
There were even fewer people this time…
The hundreds of people before hadn’t caused him any losses or obstacles at all. The First Rank Hall couldn’t just so generously send another group of people for him to kill.
What were these guys planning?
As the disciples from the First Rank Hall lined up neatly and unleashed a barrage of arrows, just like before, Happy didn’t rush in immediately. Instead, he circled around, allowing some of the arrows to hit the gang’s foundation stone with clanging sounds.
Crack!
Another crack appeared on the foundation stone of the Heaven Demon Branch Gang, making it look even more unstable, as if it might collapse at any moment.
“Idiots!”
“Aim better!”
Among the crowd, a few sharp-eyed disciples from the First Rank Hall were so disgusted they almost shouted in anger.
But the second wave of arrows still failed to reach Happy. He dodged them skillfully and took advantage of the gaps in their shooting to continue attacking…
The poor foundation stone was now covered in cracks, with tiny fragments seeping out continuously.
On the outer wall of the Heaven Demon Branch Gang, a group of skilled fighters waiting ready to act were sweating profusely!
“What if he doesn’t fall for it?”
“Those idiots! Happy won’t stop attacking while he’s in front of the foundation stone! If all the arrows hit it, it’ll collapse even faster!”
“Guild leader! The foundation stone won’t hold much longer. We need to find a solution!”
Someone warned in a low voice.

Isn’t Yin Xin equally anxious? To retrieve the supplies, they must get close to the gang’s foundation, and then the sect leader needs time to use his authority to extract the supplies from inside. Those three hundred suicide squad members are there to distract Happy… But it seems the temptation isn’t strong enough yet. Gritting his teeth, Yin Xin ordered, “Send the squad members ten meters further forward!” … “Suddenly want to defend it again?” Though Happy was very surprised by these people’s reaction, with hundreds of heads waving nearby, he couldn’t refuse—actually, it was because the distance was too close; the arrows flying continuously left him with almost no chance to act, so he had to clear them out. With his Lightning Step technique, Happy left the gang’s foundation. At the same time, a group of people on the outer wall became highly motivated! Without hesitation, they rushed toward the gang’s foundation at top speed. They knew Happy was fast at killing, so they had to seize every second. Unfortunately… this time they made a mistake. The moment Happy dived into the crowd, he immediately sensed the movements of Yin Xin’s group. He noticed this elite group of no more than thirty people, all equipped far beyond ordinary standards, and among them was even Yin Xin, the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Branch. With a thought, Happy understood Yin Xin’s intentions and realized that these three hundred people were indeed a “gift” from the First-Class Hall! “So they want to take the supplies from the Heavenly Demon Branch’s warehouse!” “Willing to sacrifice three hundred brothers at once—seems the supplies in that warehouse must be quite substantial…” Happy quickly formed a plan. His dazzling figure rushed into the crowd and then flashed out from the other side, even faster… Almost as soon as Yin Xin’s group reached the gang’s warehouse, Happy appeared right beside him. “Stop him!!” The three hundred suicide squad members were now useless, too afraid to act. Up close, only the group following Yin Xin could help him resist and buy some time. Unfortunately… Happy was well aware of the principle that to catch a thief, you must catch the king first. Not only could this demoralize the First-Class Hall, but only someone of the sect leader’s rank had the authority to retrieve the warehouse’s supplies. With his Dragon-Seizing Hand technique, he effortlessly slipped past the crowd. Happy grabbed Yin Xin’s neck, dragged him along with his weapons far away from the crowd, and pressed him against a intact wall in the council hall. Bang!!!

Yin Xin was just about to use the Gang Foundation’s database to check the supplies in the warehouse when everything blurred before his eyes. He lost contact with the Gang Foundation, and a shock hit his back as he crashed into a wall.
“Tell Meng Yun that I reluctantly accept the supplies from the Heavenly Demon Branch,” he said. Then, by controlling his internal energy, he effortlessly destroyed the true energy that had just formed within Yin Xin’s body. With a firm twist of his wrist, he broke the head of this branch leader right in front of the group of First-Class Hall disciples.
Bang!
Yin Xin’s body slid slowly down the wall…
The last sight was Kai Xin turning around and charging at the three vice branch leaders of the Heavenly Demon Branch who had attacked out of anger!
“Don’t…”
Yin Xin wanted to say not to go and die, but he could no longer speak. His consciousness had already vanished.
……
“…It failed.”
Yin Xin stepped out of the Martial Temple, his face pale, utterly disheartened. Outside, the gazes of many First-Class Hall disciples quickly focused on him…
“…”
At this moment, Yin Xin didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t completed the task assigned by Meng Yun. With his death, it would take at least twenty minutes to reach the Heavenly Demon Branch, by which time it would already have been destroyed by Kai Xin. Even if he rushed there now, it would be impossible to retrieve the supplies. Wait!
Yin Xin suddenly thought of a solution… He could transfer the position of branch leader to someone else, such as the three vice branch leaders who were also core members of the First-Class Hall, and let them retrieve the supplies…
However, as soon as this idea arose in his mind and he took out paper and pen to put it into action, several familiar voices behind him poured cold water over him:
“Branch leader.”
“Boss…”
When he turned around, Yin Xin’s face turned deathly white!
“Are you all dead?”
“…”
The three vice branch leaders exchanged glances, their faces pale with bitterness: “As soon as Kai Xin attacked, we couldn’t even defend ourselves… We could block his external energy, but not the internal one. His internal energy was flawless—there was no way to resist it.”
“ Truly worthy of being a super expert who once nearly made it into the global top eight.” Not knowing the reason for Yin Xin’s despair, they continued to marvel at Kai Xin’s overwhelming strength.
Before they could finish speaking, more and more First-Class Hall disciples came out of the Martial Temple, holding their chests, their faces extremely pale:
“Boss, we’ve also made it out.”
“…”
“Pfft!”
Hearing this, Yin Xin’s face twisted in agony. As more and more disciples emerged—seemingly over two thousand in number—he finally couldn’t hold back and spat blood on the steps outside the Martial Temple, his body collapsing: It’s over!

This time, no one could save the supplies in the Tianmo Branch Temple’s warehouse!
……
Ever since Yinxin tried to lure himself away by using the heads of First-Class Hall disciples to steal the supplies from the Tianmo Branch Temple’s warehouse, Kaidi became wary. No matter how the First-Class Hall members acted, no one was allowed to survive near the foundation of the gang! After a fierce battle, three vice temple masters and over three hundred archers were killed, and the assault on the gang’s foundation continued unabated!
The experts from the First-Class Hall in the Tianmo Branch Temple were well aware of the importance of the supplies in the warehouse—worth nearly hundreds of billions in silver. Who would be willing to let Kaidi take such wealth?
Once the suicide squad was eliminated and Yinxin died, those who had been watching from outside suddenly turned into unruly wild horses! Seeing the gang’s foundation in peril, large groups of people spontaneously organized themselves and rushed into the Tianmo Branch Temple…
“Looking for death!”
Faced with the onslaught of First-Class Hall experts, Kaidi remained calm.
Thwack! Bang!!
Countless debris, broken bricks, and arrows around the ground became Kaidi’s weapons, shooting in all directions under his relentless provocation. Those at the front were thrown flying.
Snap!
A section of granite railing was shattered by Kaidi’s force, and with a surge of hidden energy, he kicked it forward. Whoosh!!!
The railing rushed into the crowd with a fierce howl, knocking many people over and leaving them in disarray; several were even killed outright from the impact.
“Brothers, exchange for supplies!”
“Get as much as we can!”
A few people took the opportunity to quickly reach near the gang’s foundation…
As soon as those words were spoken, a sudden gust of wind blew, and a shadow flashed past them. Two of them felt their necks tighten, their chests shake, and were thrown high into the air.
“Not dead?”
They looked up at the blue sky.
Swish!!
The blue sky was quickly covered by a black sword glow…
The sharp sword light torn the two men apart mid-air. This shocking scene froze everyone in place.
Kaidi’s gaze was indeed icy as he swiftly used his Light Step to charge through the crowd without restraint…
“Exchange! I’ll let you exchange!”
“Your equipment after you die will go back to the gang’s warehouse, perfect for me to take all of it!”
“I’m curious—will it be more of what you exchange, or more of what I get from killing people!!”
His fierce killing intent, coupled with his bone-chilling authority, made the First-Class Hall disciples attacking the gang’s foundation tremble in fear.
At the same time, at least dozens more were slaughtered by Kaidi’s relentless onslaught.

Many people in the periphery then realized that around them, near the steps of the gang’s foundation, the ground was covered with corpses. Blood… splattered everywhere. Yet still, no one could safely approach the gang’s foundation. The enemies, like unstoppable ghosts, continued to slaughter people relentlessly… Instinctively, most of the First Rank Hall disciples stepped back at that moment.
