Chapter 993: Cat and Mouse

Buzz!!!
The moment the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother appeared out of thin air, its ferocious mouthparts, exuding a chilling aura, nearly touched Happy’s neck.
Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, Happy’s figure was instantly torn into countless pieces by the Gu Mother’s mouthparts and its weapon-like wings.
It took a bite in the air.
The Gu Mother closed its mouthparts together and let out an angry shriek. Its tail twitched, sending a burst of dark light at a nearby shadow.
With the skill of Lingbo Micro-Step, even Happy could only rely on its unpredictable movements to mislead the Gu Mother and evade its attacks.
The Gu Mother’s attacks were too fast!
In the earlier rounds, Happy could seize moments when the Gu Mother paused to knock it away with his Black Iron Heavy Sword. But now, the Gu Mother became increasingly cunning, launching wave after wave of attacks—biting, tearing, along with poisonous mist and stinger assaults—disrupting Happy’s rhythm and forcing him to struggle constantly.
This clearly wasn’t something a mere insect could do!
It was Ao Cangsheng!
Happy quickly realized that Ao Cangsheng was behind this, controlling every move of the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother.
However, due to the two mysterious women with icy auras by Ao Cangsheng’s side, Happy wisely chose not to approach him.
For some reason, Happy sensed from these two women an even more dangerous aura than Yan Lang’s! Both of them!!
With the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother already causing trouble, adding two more formidable enemies, Happy doubted he could hold on—already under extreme pressure from the Gu Mother, doubling the strain would be suicide.
“I wonder how long you can stay in touch with that witchcraft.”
Though dealing with the situation became increasingly difficult, Happy wasn’t panicked at all—he knew that even with his nearly 40,000 in attack power, he couldn’t harm such a monstrous insect. Ao Cangsheng surely wouldn’t be able to control it effortlessly, nor could he do so indefinitely.
While fighting off the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother, Happy secretly observed the two women beside Ao Cangsheng.
Xian Er and Tao Hong were also closely watching Happy’s every move.
At first, the two women were indeed shocked by the strength of Wu Gu, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
If even a top expert like Happy was completely overwhelmed, anyone who claimed the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother was weak must be insane.
However…

As time passed, they eventually realized the shortcomings of the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother—no, it should be Ao Cangsheng’s shortcomings! The Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother was as indestructible as diamond, extremely fast, and possessed outstanding abilities, making her practically invincible. But Ao Cangsheng’s consciousness clearly couldn’t keep up with her pace. Although Happy was currently suppressed, all of her attacks failed—thanks to the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother’s extraordinary speed. Unfortunately, Ao Cangsheng had that speed but not the corresponding consciousness, allowing Happy to easily dodge every attack. Moreover, control and mastery are two entirely different concepts! From locking onto the enemy’s position to issuing commands, Happy had already changed locations, meaning all attacks landed behind her! Even though it seemed like Ao Cangsheng had the upper hand, his situation wasn’t actually that good. The two women even noticed the sweat on Ao Cangsheng’s forehead and the tension and unease on his face—clear signs of exhaustion! His control over the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother was time-limited… As expected! Five minutes later, the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother lost all interest in Happy. It paused in the air for a second before flying back toward Ao Cangsheng without looking back, its momentum fading rapidly, its wingbeats slowing down significantly, clearly less energetic than before. “Every time the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother appears, it consumes a great deal of vital energy and strength. It will take an hour before it can be used again,” Ao Cangsheng said, sweating profusely as he retracted the creature. Facing the two women’s astonished looks, he added, “I didn’t expect even the Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother couldn’t take him down. This is bad.” “Does Master Ao have no other methods?” “Of course there are other methods. If all twelve disciples of my Five Poisons Sect and Witchcraft Sect were here, we could set up a large witchcraft formation in the main hall and use endless poisons to wear him down… At least that way he wouldn’t have time to destroy the foundation of our sect…” “Where are your twelve disciples?” “More than half of them are not in the main hall right now.” “Master Ao, your situation is dire, but you must understand that it’s not convenient for us to intervene. If we appeared in the Central Plains to help you, it would only harm you,” Tao Hong said, her gaze cold yet her tone calm. “I know.” Ao Cangsheng gritted his teeth, his face pale.

“This is the grudge between me and Happy. It’s truly inconvenient for you two to show up. It’s better if you leave now. With just my own strength, I can’t stop Happy…”
“…”
Xian Er and Tao Hong exchanged a glance, hesitated for no moment, and turned to leave.
The vast main hall of the Wudu Sect was suddenly left with only Happy and Ao Cangsheng!
When Ao Cangsheng turned to look at the foundation of the sect again, he heard words that disturbed him coming from over there:
“You’ve been so dedicated to covering up her whereabouts—just like that, they left? The members of the Wild Wolf Gang are really too ungrateful.”
“Happy! You can eat whatever you want, but don’t speak carelessly! Let’s settle this grudge between us right here today. When my Wudu Sect dealt with you back then, we were confident in facing the consequences. Even if I lose, I can afford to lose!”
“Oh?”
Seeing Ao Cangsheng bring up those past events on his own, Happy’s heart heated up, aindescribable cold glint flashing in her eyes as her tone suddenly turned icy: “Since Sect Master Ao remembers those past events and thinks he can bear the consequences, very good. I, Happy, want to see what you’ll use to bear them…”
Before her words faded, a series of dazzling afterimages appeared between them.
Bang!!!
By the time Ao Cangsheng realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Before he could pull out his small cauldron to summon poisons, his neck was suddenly squeezed tightly by an astonishing force! He was lifted up, and with a whooshing sound, his back slammed hard against the courtyard wall of the sect hall!
“Ugh!!”
A trickle of blood spewed uncontrollably from his mouth.
Ao Cangsheng’s face was filled with terror.
It was only at this moment that he truly understood why Happy had risen to such a high status in such a short time since returning to the martial world…
Against Happy, he remained under control for a full three seconds.
A Dragon-Seizing Hand in front, hidden energy behind.
He was injured in just one move!
Suddenly, his neck was released:
His feet settled firmly on the ground;
His vital energy circulated within his body, restoring control over his body while activating his protective aura. A dark, shiny long spear appeared in his hands.
Leaning against the wall,
Ao Cangsheng seemed to regain his confidence and sense of security instantly. He regained some of his sharpness and dignity as he stared at Happy, who was about ten feet away:
“You had a chance to kill me just now.”
“Don’t you know a game called ‘Cat Chasing Mice’?”

One person, one sword, standing firmly and calmly opposite Ao Cangsheng. The heavy black iron sword was deeply embedded in the ground, while Kai Xin wore a carefree expression, gazing toward the main gate of the Wudu Sect. A few minutes later, a considerable number of Wudu Sect disciples had gathered outside.

Ao Cangsheng also saw his own people.

Hearing this, he sneered, “It’s a pity you need to know that you’re not a cat, and I’m not that mouse.”

Before his words faded, he shook his long spear!

Boom!

The air around him erupted!

The power of a master at the Wuwei realm was instantly revealed, rising like a mighty force from the ground! A dazzling array of spears enveloped his entire body!

Man and spear became one!

Like a giant cone, it shattered the sturdy corridor with devastating force and charged straight at Kai Xin!!

“Not necessarily.”

Facing the full-powered attack from a top expert at the Wuwei realm, Kai Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered two words calmly. He firmly grasped the hilt of the black iron sword buried in the ground, then twisted his waist…

Whoosh!!!

Kai Xin remained in place as the black iron sword summoned a giant black dragon that let out a deep roar in the air, recklessly meeting Ao Cangsheng’s fierce spear barrage.

Boom!!!!

The collision between the black dragon and the spear barrage sent a terrifying shockwave erupting from where the two forces met.

With a deafening explosion, a dark figure shot out from the shattered shockwave, crashing through the courtyard wall of the Wudu Sect’s main hall. Mixed with broken tiles and bricks, it fell in a disheveled state in front of a group of Wudu Sect disciples outside the wall.

“This…”

“Sect Master!!!”

The Wudu Sect disciples waiting outside immediately saw the bloodied figure who had fallen out, holding a familiar long spear. Their expressions turned extremely grim.

A few disciples rushed forward to help him!

But just then…

A brilliant figure rushed out from inside the main hall, filled with suffocating pressure and murderous intent.

Boom!!!

The few Wudu Sect disciples who went to help Ao Cangsheng, along with those behind them who hadn’t yet seen who it was, felt an icy sword intent descending from above. A dark giant dragon roared, making the air tremble, as it swept through everything in its path.

Sweeping through armies!

“Wah!”
“Ugh!”

Dozens of Wudu Sect disciples spat blood and flew backward, collapsing on the spot.

Ao Cangsheng fell again!

He struggled to lift his eyes and saw someone slowly walking toward him. The young and handsome face carried boundless coldness and calmness, as the person spoke in a condescending tone, “Sect Master Ao.”

“…”

“I know where your confidence comes from! Not only me, but players from the Central Plains all know it… But I have to tell you that from today on, no one can stop me from destroying the Five Poisons Sect! Not even Meng Yun or Xue Yi…”
At this point, Kai Xin paused for a moment.
Ao Cangsheng noticed that Kai Xin was looking in a certain direction among the crowd outside, and a deeper voice reached his ears: “Including the Wild Wolf.”
The decisive and arrogant tone, along with the black iron sword, completely extinguished the last trace of life in Ao Cangsheng’s body!
