“What happened over there?”
“What on earth is going on?”
“Who knows?”
The group in Flame Town had been watching the black tornado for more than an hour. The tornado grew more magnificent with each passing second, and it looked as if it gained physical form. It also caused more people to feel their hearts itch. They wanted to see the secrets behind it. As time passed, more people talked about it.
That included Silver Wolf and his party. They were curious because of the large tornado, and they really wanted to go in to see what was going on.
But even when they were in Flame Town, they would have their qi spill out of their bodies madly as the sad hit them. Their qi realms fell, and no one had the confidence to be able to venture even 328 feet forward, much less enter the tornado.
“I wonder how the boss is right now.”
“Knife?” Bar turned his head around instinctively and gave Knife a dumbfounded look.
Since he heard his name being called, Knife looked over. “Hmm?”
“What did you just call Happy?”
“Sect master?” Knife was caught off guard.
Before his voice faded away, Silver Wolf and Thunder turned around at the same time.
“You didn’t call him your sect master just now, you called him your boss.”
“That’s right, you called him your boss.”
Silver Wolf’s voice was calm, while Thunder’s voice was a little shocked.
Knife’s expression changed a little, and he mumbled. “How…? That’s impossible… Aside from Big Brother Silver Wolf, who else can possibly become our bosses? You definitely misheard things.”
Bar and Thunder looked at each other before they looked at Silver Wolf. They did not say anything.
They held a huge value as to who they referred to as their friends and leader. Once they referred to someone with these titles, it meant that they had already acknowledged them based on their beliefs.
As he watched Knife try to explain himself in panic, Silver Wolf let out a deep breath.
“Happy is indeed a pretty good person. If he managed to make someone as prideful as you call him your boss subconsciously, it means that Happy has already obtained our trust during critical moments and has become someone we can rely one. There’s no need for you to feel nervous about it, honestly. The sect master is indeed a good person. He’s chivalrous and responsible, and he’s unlike a normal person. He doesn’t play the game for the sake of playing the game, and neither does he play the game for the sake of earning money. He has the right of becoming your boss. In fact, he has the right of becoming everyone’s boss.”
Silver Wolf’s words resonated with Bar and Thunder. Both of them nodded silently.
“Big Brother Silver Wolf, you’re right.”
“We’ve also acknowledged the sect master. You don’t have to be too bothered by it, Knife…”
His friends’ comforting words and their explanations finally made Knife relax slightly, and he became much calmer.
Knife suddenly asked something to change the topic. “If that’s the case, are we staying in Lovely Land from now on?”
The trio cast their gazes on Silver Wolf’s face. They waited for his decision.
“Yes. As long as Happy remains in Lovely Land, we’ll stay in Lovely Land. We won’t leave.” Silver Wolf’s cold face morphed into a smile, which was something rarely seen on him.
The trio became even more excited.
Right when the four of them decided to stay in Lovely Land, a small change suddenly appeared in the tornado, which was becoming more substantial by the second.
The brutal presence that filled the air had become much fainter.
Instead, the pure and mighty presence occupied half of the space in the tornado. A lot of the dark clouds in the sky were gone.
“I knew it!” Silver Wolf could tell with just one glance that the fight in the tornado was near the end. He smiled and said, “The sect master is about to win…”
“Of course!”
Knife, Bar, and Thunder smiled.
Happy already promised them that regardless of whether they succeeded or failed in this quest, each of them would be able to get a top-grade contribution reward from the sect. As of current, even though there were more than one million members in Lovely Land, no one had this glory. They would be the first batch to get it!
“Look!”
“The tornado has become fainter…”
“It looks like it’s about to fade away.”
As the people around them discussed among themselves and cried out in surprise, Silver Wolf and his party cast their gazes to the tornado in the distance. They saw the nearly physical tornado had lost some of its might, and sand was flying all over the place. It seemed to have lost some of its ability to suck in things, and sand continuously flew madly in all directions.
As the tornado lost the sand in it, the large, black tornado started to become thinner, and the contour of the desert in the tornado could be vaguely seen.
The brutal and bloodthirsty presence above the tornado became stronger.
While the wind howled, a low growl filled with resentment and loathing was heard. Something also seemed to be fleeing into the distance swiftly.
This lasted for around two to three minutes.
Then, the tornado disappeared completely.
Under Silver Wolf and his party’s lead, hundreds of people rushed out of Flame Wolf, and they entered the portion of the desert which had been engulfed by the tornado just now. The sand had not fallen yet.
“Where is he?”
As the group stared at the vast desert after the tornado vanished, they looked around them with dumbfounded expressions. Not a single trace of Happy could be found in the area, and they could not but be curious. They looked at each other at a loss.
Silver Wolf and the others might be surprised, but they did not say much.
They believed that Tiger Soul should have ended up in Happy’s hands, but Happy had left beforehand, though it might be because he either did not want too many people to spread the news of Tiger Soul or did it because of some other reason.
Happy had left the people’s gazes immediately because he was worried that Tiger Soul would draw unnecessary trouble and because Happy still could not decide whether he should cleanse Tiger Soul and increase its attributes or whether he wanted to have two ancient weapons at the same time. That was the main deciding factor behind why he left.
Happy knew that at that moment, Carlson’s attention was definitely on him.
Hence, while sand filled the air, Happy put on a human skin mask without hesitation and left Flame Town with Tiger Soul and Heaven Crystal. He headed into a deserted area deep in the desert.
He had two ancient weapons in his hands. On one hand, he had Heaven Crystal, which produced a sword will that was mighty and righteous.
In his other hand, he had Tiger Soul, which had its brutal will try to invade his mind and control his body.
One of the presences was cold, and the other hot. Two completely different wills clashed violently under Happy’s control. Happy’s body was the battlefield for the two ancient weapons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two forces crashed against each other in his arm.
Fortunately, Happy’s will was strong enough. After his body was modified and strengthened by Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, his body was much sturdier than anyone else.
Even if they caused a huge ruckus in his body, he did not collapse because of the two ancient weapons.
While he ate medicine, Happy maintained his speed and headed further deeper into the desert.
In the span of a breath, he traveled hundreds of feet.
With a few jumps, Flame Town was soon a black dot at the horizon.
He charged forward swiftly, and after dozens of minutes, Happy had sweat appear on his forehead.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Happy’s expression changed, and he stopped.
Whoosh…
A hot wind crashed in his face, and it was mixed with rolling sand.
Happy pretended as if it did not exist, and he shouted at the empty air, “You’ve been following me for a long time, and you still refused to appear. Why don’t you come out now?”
After he spoke, only the sound of wind and sand could be heard in the air, along with it was also the sound of dust being lifted from the sand.
“You’re the mighty alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance. When did you become a coward?” Happy did not give up just because of it. He let out a cold huff and mocked the empty air.
Happy stated the alliance master’s name while he mocked, and a figure finally appeared in the sandhill in the distance.
His black armor was covered in saber gashes, and his cloak was reduced to a rag with holes. It was stained with red blood. There were also a few spots in his mighty and mysterious fanged mask that were broken. He looked rather pathetic and also terrifying.
However, at the moment the alliance master showed, he swiftly released his mighty qi in the dao of heaven. Right now, it was as if he was the only person in the world.
His feet left the ground, and he drifted over.
Happy remained on the ground and watched calmly as the alliance master came over with an astonishing presence. His gaze moved back and forth between the various wounds on the alliance master’s body.
Thud!
The alliance master did not remain airborne for too long.
He stopped when he was 162 feet away from Happy. His eyes shone with a grave look under his damaged mask. He sighed.
“I didn’t expect that I still ended up underestimating you during our trip to the desert palace, Happy.”
The alliance master’s tone was grave and serious. He spoke with a tone as if he had come to know Happy once more after experiencing many things.
“You praise me too much, Alliance Master.” Happy remained expressionless. “I wouldn’t be able to compare to you, considering the fact that you’re trying to take advantage of the situation while I’m injured.”
The alliance master could tell that Happy was mocking him. He smiled faintly. “I only want Tiger Soul. Put it down, and you can leave. I will not stop you.”
Even though he had been following Happy all along and saw his skills as well as his strength, since the alliance master chose to appear, he definitely had his own plans.
Happy held two ancient weapons that were mortal enemies with each other. All along his way here, these two presences never stopped clashing against each other. Happy was already suffering through severe internal injuries. Happy might appear to have an extraordinary presence right now, but in truth, he was already spent.
The alliance master was able to tell this, which was why his wariness toward Happy slowly faded away. In fact, he even took the initiative to release some of his presence in the dao of heaven to attract Happy’s attention.
Happy had suppressed a whole entire group of people to finally obtain Tiger Soul. Naturally, he would not allow the alliance master to get his prize just because he spoke to him politely.
“You want Tiger Soul? Hmph! Then, enough with the nonsense. Just come and take it with your own hands.” Happy stabbed Tiger Soul into the ground before he brought out a drop of Fire Qilin Blood from his Universe Bag. He tossed it into his mouth.
Shick!
Tiger Soul sank into the ground.
Once Fire Qilin Blood entered his throat, it quickly turned into warm waves of heat that instantly flowed to his limbs. At the same time it filled him with qi, it also quickly nourished while healing the meridian systems which had been damaged because of the clash between the two ancient weapons.
The alliance master knew that Happy would not obey him so easily. His expression turned a little cold. He brought his hands out from behind his cloak to reveal a pair of metallic finger gloves that looked savage and shone with an intimidating light.
“I thought that you would act accordingly to the situation, so I didn’t expect that you would still be so stubborn. If that’s the case, I will send you off to the path of hell!”
“You sure talk big.”
Once the Fire Qilin Blood entered his stomach, Happy returned to the peak of his condition.
Right now, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Even if he faced the alliance master while he was at the peak of his condition, Happy was confident that he could fight against him for a while. Besides, right now, this dao of heaven martial artist was injured by Tiger Soul. Even if he had regained some of his strength, he would still not be at the peak of his condition. Why should he be afraid?
“I need someone to serve as my sparring partner so that I perfect Hourly Sword Technique and Sun Finger. You came at the perfect timing. I’ll play with you!”
Even though he said that, he could not put Tiger Soul into his Universe Bag. If he held it, it would be the same as him trying to harm himself. Happy would not dare to readily attack on his own. He could only stand beside Tiger Soul while he watched the alliance master with a wary look as he waited for the alliance master to attack.
