After the palm strike, Happy did not dare to be careless. He sat down cross-legged and activated Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill to restore his qi!
Dragon Fights in the Wild might not have made him suffer any losses while he was fighting exchanging blows with the man, but the price for it was great. It instantly sapped away one hundred qi points, and since he was struck by the evil cult elite, his qi surged, which made it difficult for him to maintain his true qi. This meant that the technique Happy used had almost forced his qi to the border of Life and Death Realm, so the person who came over was not to be underestimated.
Happy had to recover his qi quickly, or else, even protecting himself would become tough!
However, Happy was confident that his palm strike had made the other person very miserable as well. After having withstood Dragon Fights in the Wild at full force, the man had to be injured pretty badly.
Once the evil cult elite was forced back, he seemed to have realized that the group of youngsters was not easy to deal with.
There were blood specks at the corners of his mouth when he charged out of the broken house, which made him look incredibly pathetic, but he did not dare to get close to them anymore.
“He’s one of the five elders of Sky Demon Sect.”
Yang Xiao’s expression changed when he finally managed to recognize the person’s identity. “So, Sky Demon Sect, Yin Weed Faction, and Flowers Faction have really decided to work together?”
“Hmph.” The person snorted coldly. “Yang Xiao, you’re Ming Cult’s Bright Left Messenger, and you are regarded with scorn as the leader of an evil cult, but now, why are you so willing to proclaim yourself as someone in the righteous path? How hilarious!”
Yang Xiao’s expression did not change, and he replied airily, “Everyone in Ming Cult listens to the cult master. Whether we belong to the righteous path or the evil path has nothing to do with you, Sky Demon Sect! Don’t worry about us.”
Yang Xiao had never cared about the norms of the world and acted however he liked, so he was not provoked by the evil cult elite.
“Bright Left Messenger Yang, don’t argue with him. Take the people and break out of the encirclement. Let me handle this person.”
Zhang Wuji took a step forward.
When the elite found his qi activity locked, his expression instantly turned very unpleasant. He quickly realized that the strength of the young man before him might be above his.
“Sir, you are…”
“You don’t even know my cult master? And you call yourself one of the five elders of Sky Demon Sect!”
Yang Xiao laughed mockingly and ignored him. With a low shout, he brought the Ming Cult elites on their way to escape.
“Happy.”
Momo gave a reminder in worry, but she was just in time to see him stop circulating his qi and open his eyes. A solemn expression that puzzled her and a wary look shone in his eyes. “Go. I’ll naturally catch up to you later.”
As he spoke, he could not help but a faint grave expression that came onto his face.
Silver Wolf, who had been carried by Lin Xiao, suddenly “woke up”, and Lin Xiao immediately released a breath of relief. When he saw Silver Wolf look around with a puzzled expression at the fires everywhere in Hero’s Mountain Villa and the cries for blood in the place, he quickly said, “Thank goodness you woke up in time. It’s good that you’re alright. We’ll tell you what happened later. For now, come with us.”
Silver Wolf nodded in puzzlement before he suddenly tensed up like a strong bow that had been drawn. He started at a broken house not too far away. A scowl replaced his solemn expression.
“What’s wrong?”
The group was stunned.
Silver Wolf was just about to speak when he was interrupted by a system notification, and his gaze darkened. He answered, “It’s nothing.”
As he spoke, he quickly cast Happy a glance and said, “Go ahead. I’ll stay with Happy. We’ll come with you later.”
His tone was the same as Happy’s. At that moment, Little North, Thunderous Battle, and the others noticed that something was off.
“Don’t worry. It’s fine. Leave first.” Happy saw that there was an abnormal expression on their faces, and he comforted them. “It’s just a quest. We’ll catch up to you later. Leave first. Protect Wind Chimes carefully.”
When the group saw Happy’s firm and calm gaze, they were no longer uncertain of their actions. They nodded, got up, and chased after the larger group ahead of them.
The ones who stayed were not just Happy and Silver Wolf. There were also Zhou Yu, Lu Mingyue, Phantasmal Shadow, Dream Clouds, and One Emperor, who was as cold as a machine. His gaze was freezing, and there was not a hint of warmth about him. He seemed to have entered a mindset of going into battle at any moment. He gave off an incredibly dangerous presence, and no one dared to get close to him.
“One Emperor,” Happy said.
One Emperor moved a little, and his gaze turned slightly gentler when he looked toward Happy.
“We don’t have the luxury of a long battle. Let’s attack together and force him out.”
One Emperor said nothing. He frowned, then saw Happy point at Silver Wolf. When he turned around to look, he understood what Happy meant. He was signalling for the three of them to attack together. And once he thought about it carefully, he nodded slightly.
Dream Clouds and Zhou Yu’s expressions were very sour.
They were not willing to see One Emperor being too close to Happy, but they had never been able to talk cordially with One Emperor before, and they had always believed that One Emperor would not be close to anyone! But for some reason, Happy repeatedly gained One Emperor’s favor, and now, he even agreed to Happy’s suggestion for the first time ever.
But their jealousy only lasted for a short while.
They still had to think of a way to get through the difficult situation.
Happy and Silver Wolf geared up, and with One Emperor, they formed a triangle that went to where Zhang Wuji and the evil cult elite were fighting.
Zhang Wuji and the evil cult elite’s fight had entered a stalemate, but as the trio drew closer, the elite’s expression changed. He quickly sensed a heavy pressure and great sense of danger from the trio.
The young man to the left was Happy, and the evil cult elite knew him well. Not only had the youth received a full-powered attack from him, he had even managed to injure him during the head-on clash. He possessed quite a bit of power!
The person to the right wore a strange and incomplete silver mask. Even though he was not famous, the qi he released caused other people’s qi to become chaotic.
As for the last person, he just stood like an unsheathed sword on his back, and the evil cult elite’s hair rose.
The three people’s appearance distracted the evil cult elite, and he was struck a few times by Zhang Wuji. His mouth filled with blood, and he looked very pathetic.
Dream Clouds, Zhou Yu, Lu Mingyue, Night Rain Asura, and Phantasmal Shadow also activated their qi realms outside the battlefield. All of them closed their eyes and focused their attention to observe the changes in their surroundings. They did not dare to miss a single thing.
The bizarre atmosphere continued increasing in intensity.
In the end, a furious roar that sounded like a thunderclap shot out, “Why aren’t you attacking?!”
An evil cult elite could no longer hold back. With a furious shout, a man with a peerless momentum suddenly charged out of the house nearby. “What’re you scared of?! He’s just Zhang Wuji! Do you think he can kill you?!”
There was a hint of an unrelenting might and mockery in his awe-inspiring voice.
It instantly attracted the attention of the group outside the battlefield.
They opened their eyes, and powerful waves of qi as well as fierce attacks went charging at the person!
But the trio—Happy, Silver Wolf, and One Emperor—who surrounded the evil cult elite fighting against Zhang Wuji never cast that person a single glance. Their eyes were all fixed on a spot underneath a certain tile while others’ attention was attracted by the other evil cult disciple.
A black sword shadow that moved like a snake shot toward Zhang Wuji from the shadows, and it was as fast as lightning!
The trio acted at the same time!
