“I came here this time for the purpose of challenging you. It’s different from Class One Hall’s goal!” Drifting Sword felt that he had been humiliated and underestimated, and he stated in anger.
Happy remained unmoved.
Before he came to Beijing, he had already learned from Wandering Know-it-all that White Robe Sect had formed an alliance with Class One Hall. This time, when he came over, he saw Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword move together twice, and the signs of them working together was incredibly clear.
Barren Murderer knew that Happy was a very difficult person to deal with, but this time, he came here because he wanted to decide who was stronger between him and Happy, and he wanted to see the effects of Heaven and Earth Great Shift as well as the effects of Undying King of Abyss Art. When he heard this, he naturally flew into a rage.
“Happy, don’t be too arrogant.” Barren Murderer stared at Happy with a dark expression.
Even though he was very confident that he can kill Happy here if he worked together with Drifting Sword, it was a pity that if he fought together with Drifting Sword, it will not cause too much of an effect on Happy. In fact, it will not affect Happy’s rank on Dragon Rank. There was not much meaning to it.
Only when he managed to hold back Happy and fight against him for a long time alone will he be able to bring about an effect and allow Class One Hall to build up their morale.
He did not expect that before he finished speaking, Happy would rudely interrupt him. “Practicing two peerless ultimate techniques doesn’t mean that you have become very powerful. The defense in Undying King of Abyss Art is already very good, but Heaven and Earth Great Shift is a product derived from Shifting Stars. If you have Blood Robes or Dream Clouds practice it, I might be slightly troubled, but if you’re the one practicing it, it just means that you’ve become a turtle shell that is rather hard and cunning. Your damage is still severely lacking. To me, you don’t possess any form of threat, and I can completely ignore you.” His words were very logical and harsh. The martial artists around the area turned their faces away and held back their laughter when they heard these words.
There were also quite a number of people who discussed among themselves. Heaven and Earth Great Shift was still an amazing martial art of its generation, no matter what, how could Happy say that it did not have much attack. Also, was it truly derived from Shifting Stars?
“It’s impossible. I mean, look at Zhang Wuji, he’s already so powerful—”
“Yang Xiao could already counter the Five Wanderers and Wei Yixiao when he was only at the second realm for the technique. Happy’s definitely spewing nonsense—”
“But Zhang Wuji seems to only use Heaven and Earth Great Shift when he’s in a group fight, and it’s the same for Yang Xiao!”
“This is…”
The players around the area kept talking.
Some people believed in Happy’s words, some did not, and some believed him with a grain of salt.
But only Happy, who had three years of experience of the game in his previous life and those who were very familiar with Jin Yong’s Wuxia novels knew that Heaven and Earth Great Shift’s greatest effect was not in its attack, but shifting the attacks of the user’s enemies. It was indeed very similar to Shifting Stars, and the only change in it was that Heaven and Earth Great Shift could allow its user to shift his or her acupressure points to protect themselves.
But Shifting Stars could not only shift the positions of attacks, it can also negate damage. It did not require an insane amount of qi before it could reach a higher level, unlike Heaven and Earth Great Shift.
At that moment, Barren Murderer’s face had already turned a dark shade of anger because of Happy’s mocking words.
“Alright!” Barren Murderer was so angry that he started laughing. “Since you insist that we fight against you together, I’ll do as you wish!”
Drifting Sword scowled, but he pushed down the displeasure in his heart and nodded. They both extended an invitation for a duel against Happy at the same time.
Two golden yellow flags were erected in the alley with a mighty presence!
When the two worked together, not only did it not weaken the imposing aura from Drifting Sword and Barren Murderer, but had managed to further stimulate their desire to win.
If they fought against Happy one on one, they did not have the confidence to win, but if they lost, they suffered no setbacks.
But if they lost while they worked together, the situation will be different.
Not only will Drifting Sword’s fame plummet to the ground, the imposing presence Barren Murderer had set up for himself some time ago will be shattered instantly as well.
Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword looked at each other before they immediately activated all their qi realms. The former was surrounded by a thick wave of black smoke, and he gave off a very aggressive presence. The latter took a step back and landed behind Barren Murderer. His gaze focused, and he was like a hunting leopard that will attack at any moment. He was filled with explosive power and gave off a very threatening air.
The three fighters were not far away from each other. In fact, they were very close!
When Happy was approached by Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword, there was still a calm and faint smile on his face. His hand was never on his sword hilt. His blue robes fluttered loudly in the wind. Compared to Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword’s cautious and solemn expressions, which made them look as if they were facing a great enemy, his calm mannerisms already made him appear superior to them, and he naturally formed the air of a grandmaster about himself!
“Attack!”
Barren Murderer grabbed a blood red saber and shouted coldly before he pounced on Happy like a phantom.
Drifting Sword tried to gain an upper hand and defeat Happy even though he attacked a little slower than Barren Murderer. A sharp sword glare shot out from between Barren Murderer’s arm and ribs, and the angle was very crafty and ruthless. It went straight for Happy’s heart!
Their teamwork was as natural as breathing!
Even Happy could not help but praise them in his heart.
As expected of Barren Murderer, he was indeed a famous professional player who was born to play games. His defenses was something that a normal person will find hard to break. He charged in front to provide cover for Drifting Sword and create a chance for him to attack.
Drifting Sword did not let Barren Murderer down either. In fact, he did better what they expected. He moved to Barren Murderer’s side, and if he advanced, he could attack, but if he retreated, he could avoid all attacks. His sword technique was bizarre, and it was difficult to guess its trajectory.
If he circumnavigated Barren Murderer to attack Drifting Sword, not only will he reveal his own weaknesses, it will be very difficult for him to succeed as well. If he attacked Barren Murderer directly, he will have to pay quite the great price. Their teamwork of one person attacking and the other defending was already an ingenious cooperation.
Even Responsible Hero leaned against the wall when he heard the ruckus outside. He stared at Happy’s back through a small gap, wanting to know how he will handle the situation.
Happy might have won against Responsible Hero, but when it came to his attacks, he did not have a sword attack that was as sharp and indomitable as Responsible Hero’s sword draw!
But Happy had four ultimate techniques with him, along with one Moksha Realm sword technique. His comprehensive ability allowed him to not be surpassed by any player in the game, and there was no way he would be trapped by these two.
He curled his lips slightly and spread his arms. An invisible vortex spread out from his body.
‘Oh no!’
Drifting Sword and Barren Murderer immediately noticed that the situation was bad for them. Their attacks left their original trajectory. Drifting Sword’s sword glare started moving diagonally upwards and went straight for Barren Murderer’s throat, while Barren Murderer’s poisonous palm-generated wind went for Drifting Sword’s head.
Their ingenious cooperation instantly started falling apart.
‘Shifting Stars!’
Barren Murderer was shocked, but he quickly circulated Heaven and Earth Great Shift with the intention of negating Happy’s attack.
But a notification from the system arrived at that time.
His Heaven and Earth Great Shift was not powerful enough, and it could not fight against Shifting Stars.
This news alarmed him so much that his face turned pale.
Fortunately, Drifting Sword reacted in time. He used the momentum to avoid Barren Murderer’s palm strike, but his sword glare left behind a distinct white gash on Barren Murderer’s body.
With Barren Murderer’s defense, this bit of damage will not affect him.
The danger had been momentarily resolved, but they were still in a very bad situation.
Right when Happy took action, he instantly trapped them in a life and death situation. Naturally, he will not readily give up on such a good opportunity.
He smiled coldly, and Noble Sword came out of its sheath.
Clang!
While Barren Murderer froze up, a dazzling sword force charged forth with the power to mow down all resistances, and it struck Barren Murderer head on.
Barren Murderer did not have to react to it at all. The sword force and small silver dragon struck his chest one after another, and they left behind a clear sword gash on his four-echelon demonic armor. Barren Murderer grunted, and a trail of blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth.
Before he had the time to catch his breath, sword glares that filled the air locked down the area around Barren Murderer!
Happy did not use the chance to attack Drifting Sword, but attacked Barren Murderer head on, even though his defense had reached a frightening degree. He attacked with his full strength using Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style!
All the people around him sucked in sharp breaths while they felt chills in their hearts.
Happy wanted to destroy Barren Murderer face to face and crush all that Barren Murderer took pride in.
Barren Murderer was in great trouble now!
