Chapter 960 - Killing Intent in Ghost’s Domain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thud…

At night, no matter where a person went in Ghost’s Domain, he would sense a ghastly and frightening feeling that came from the bottom of his heart. Regardless of whether that feeling was strong or weak, anyone who walked in this place that was filled with will-o’-the-wisps and other terrifying monsters would feel goosebumps all over their skin as well as anxious.

Anytime they heard movement behind them, with tense hearts, they would check to see whether whoever made the sound was a human or a monster.

On this night, Happy left the valley where he trained, as usual, and searched for Demonic Venomous Larvae, which appeared randomly at various spots in Ghost’s Domain, in an attempt to push his Illusory Cave Steps to Grandmaster Realm as well as his Great Demonic World Destruction Art to the tenth realm.

Happy was still dressed in a silver robe. He moved about in the rather narrow canyon in Ghost’s Domain, and the sounds of his robes fluttering could be heard nonstop in the air, and it made him feel as if he was the only one in this canyon.

Suddenly, Happy stopped with a great sense of wariness in him. His face was turned to the side slightly, and he cast a glance at the dark canyon where he came from. He frowned slightly and slowly turned his head around. His gaze landed in the area ahead of him.

“Since you’re already here, why don’t you come out?”

His voice traveled far and wide in the quiet night.

Silence.

There was not a single person in the canyon. No one replied to him.

Happy’s voice spread out, and it continued echoing nonstop.

“What is it now? Do the people from Blood Alliance like hiding themselves so much?” Happy stood on steady feet where he was, and there was a lackadaisical but cold sneer on his face. He specified a target and mocked it while he spoke to the air, even though there was no one over there. “Hmph, ever since I woke up, I heard from many people that the Blood Alliance Blood Robes built is already one of the major sects in the Chinese server. They say that he has a lot of elites under his wing, and they are all ruthless. They have even killed countless people.

“Heh. By the looks of it, you’re nothing much. You’re just a bunch of cowards and nobodies who hide in the dark and set up traps as well fire arrows.”

As he spoke, Happy turned his burning gaze to the entrance of the valley to the left, which was enveloped in darkness.

Once his Tendon Changing Classic reached the ninth realm, he could hear and see everything clearly. His perception of his surroundings was no longer than when he used Nine Yang Divine Skill. Everything within an area of 164 feet, be it the sound of wind, grass moving, breathing, or even heartbeats, were within his senses. Naturally, he noticed that there was a group waiting quietly at five valley entrances he passed by just now.

There were also around one hundred people blocking the path behind him.

He did not run into any spiders or scorpions while he was on his way here. In fact, he did not even see their carcasses. There were also more than ten continuous traps laid out ingeniously sixty-five feet away from him. If Happy could not guess that these people were waiting for him, he should feed his head to a Demonic Venomous Larva.

The series of mocking words lashing out at them finally brought some effect. The sounds of thudding footsteps suddenly rose in the canyon in Ghost’s Domain.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than ten people rushed out of the valleys by his side at the same time. When around ten torches were lit, they formed an imposing presence.

Those hundred or so people behind him closed in on him after they received their signal. The group stood behind and in front of him, and they blocked the entire canyon.

A large number of torches lit up the tunnel, and Happy was finally able to see these people’s faces as well as numbers.

“As expected of Happy. We’ve used around two days’ worth of time to set up our forces here in the canyon, but I didn’t expect that you still didn’t trigger any of our traps.”

A person fanning a fan made with a frame using a red jade walked out slowly and lightly from the crowd. By the looks of it, he seemed like the leader.

“I was originally not very certain. You can only blame the person who set up the traps in such an obvious place. I mean, he placed the traps right at the center of the road and even lured away all the monsters? Who exactly is that smart? Please tell me that person’s name so that I can thank him face to face.”

Silence.

The group of Blood Alliance members looked at the man with the red jade fan simultaneously.

That person opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. Then, he saw Happy put on an enlightened smile, and his expression instantly turned dark. “You don’t have to thank me. But since you’re here today, don’t even think about leaving this place alive.”

“Heh.” Happy chuckled and surveyed the area around him. “As usual, Blood Robes really regards me highly. He actually brought more than one hundred people to kill me, even when I’m injured?

“Wow.

“The next time we meet, I’ll have to thank him personally.”

“Hmph! You’re right, there’s indeed no need for us to use so many people to fight against an injured person!”

The man lifted his red jade fan up high.

“My friends, clear the place!”

The Blood Alliance members in front and behind Happy retreated and cleared out a large portion of the canyon.

When he saw this, Happy finally had a slightly surprised look on his face. By the looks of it, Blood Alliance did not seem to want to fight against him in a group. Could it be…?

When he had this thought in his mind, Happy suddenly had his thoughts straightened out, and he looked ahead of him.

‘They’re here!’

“Third Elder!”

“Seventh Elder!”

“Thirteenth Elder!”

“Big Bro’ Third! Big Bro’ Seventh! Big Bro’ Thirteenth!”

While the group of Blood Alliance members shouted fervently and respectfully, the crowd parted even more, and the first person to walk out was a young man with a cordial smile. There was a green xiao by his waist. He was also dressed in the Silver Robe Set, and his Hero’s Bandana made him look like a gentle and quiet person. He stood tall and straight, and he looked rather elegant.

When the second person appeared, the crowd clearly parted even more. That person looked like Son Goku at the very end of Journey to the West. He held a longspear that was ten feet long, gave off a devil-may-care attitude, and had an evil smile on his face. While he chewed on a fruit, he jumped out, and he brandished his sharp spear. The people around him avoided him like the plague.

The last person was rather reticent. He was stern and had a grave look on his face while he held his axe upside down. He was also decked in heavy armor, and he followed behind the duo. His profound gaze was fixed on Happy.

The trio walked out of the crowd like door gods and arrived in front of Happy.

“Happy, while Blood Alliance is ruthless, we’d never mobilize around one hundred people to fight against one injured person.”

When he saw the trio arrive, the man with the red jade fan fanned himself leisurely and at an unhurried pace. He said, “Today, we came over here because three of our elders heard that you can fight against multiple people on your own and that you defeated more than ten elites from Class One Hall. They deliberately came over to experience it on their own—”

“Ah… Enough with the nonsense!”

Happy did not give the man with the red jade fan the chance to continue spewing nonsense. He coldly interrupted him. “You want to challenge me just because your traps didn’t work? You think you’re worthy? Just attack! I’ll accept your challenge no matter how many of you come!”

He drew his longsword, and a faint but violent gust of wind blew in the canyon.

The light from the torches swayed.

The three Blood Alliance elders across them instantly sensed an oppressive presence from Happy.

“Hmph.”

“Seventh, Thirteenth, we’ve been underestimated by this brat. What should we do?” The person who spoke was the young man with the cordial smile. The xiao by his waist had landed in his hands at some point of time, and his tone was slightly cold.

Before his voice faded away, the evil-looking man suddenly threw away the fruit he was halfway through eating before he rushed at Happy as if he had become one with his spear. The devil-may-care attitude he had just now was completely gone, and in its place was a spear that roared like a black dragon.

The black spearhead instantly left behind a dense wave of afterimages, and they immediately exploded forth to envelope Happy like a tidal wave.

Right when an elite attacked, a person would know whether he was truly skilled or not.

The evil man caused warning bells to ring loudly in Happy’s heart.

This person was definitely the strongest opponent Happy faced ever since he woke up and reentered World of Martial Arts. His spear technique alternated between fake and real attacks, and his movements were wild. He was unlike the people he ran into earlier, who attacked accordingly to all the movesets in their martial arts. Even if they alternated their moves between real moves and flukes, Happy could still find openings in their attacks.

A sharp and piercing spear glare came charging at him.

This person’s spear technique alternated between real and fake attacks, and while relying on the superior attack range from long-ranged weapons, he moved cautiously, and he gave off a feeling of stability as well as experience, which made it seem as if nothing could penetrate his defense.

‘It’s no wonder why Blood Robes feels at ease with letting these three come here.

‘These people with the title of elders might be the aces of Blood Alliance! They could be real elites!’

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts flashed in Happy’s mind. At the same time, he entered a calm state. He moved along the spear while he activated Illusory Cave Steps. With each step he took, he could travel a few feet forward, and he circumnavigated the traps while he retreated.

“Running?”

The person smiled in an evil manner. His spear momentum changed. He hooked the traps on the ground, then yanked them out, and quite a number of traps on the ground were flung into the air.

Bang!

The traps were triggered in the air!

Countless sharp hidden weapons instantly enveloped a circular area of dozens of feet. Fierce sounds of air being sliced through could be heard nonstop.

Happy and the evil man were surrounded by countless hidden weapons at the same time.

Once the instigator activated the traps, he swung his longspear and made it move like the wind. The hidden weapons that came attacking him looked as if they crashed into the impenetrable Wind and Fire Wheels. They released a series of dense tinkling sounds, and sparks flew all over the place, but none could break through his defense.

His attacks, schemes, and strength were all displayed clearly.

Compared to the evil man, Happy seemed to be much more defensive.

Buzz!

At the moment the hidden weapons descended on him, a golden bell serving to protect rushed out of his body and knocked away the hidden weapons that came at him just in time.

“Hmph, pretty good. I’d like to see how many times you can release Golden Bell Cocoon’s profound skill.” The man grinned in an evil manner and attacked with his spear. He brought out a few traps again.

“You sure are relentless.”

While he was airborne, Happy snorted coldly. His body moved in a flash, and half of the thirty-two feet between them was instantly gone. A pulsing sword glare rained down from the sky, and it struck the man’s spearhead like lightning.

“Urk!” The man froze. He opened his eyes wide and looked up. Disbelief was clear on his face. “Your sword technique…”

He cried out in surprise, and not daring to remain idle, he swung his spear.

Whoosh!

Black Dragon Turns Around.

The longspear rotated between them, and it was as if a huge dragon had just turned around. An astonishing spear glare charged out like a hoop, and it tried frenziedly to stop Happy from getting close.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The evil man released his longspear, and he quickly raised his arms. Six poison needles shot out, and he seemed to have expected that Happy will free up his hand to use Dragon Capture.

In a moment, Happy’s breathing froze. He was forced into a corner by this man’s astonishing moves, and he was forced to turn around to use his longsword to protect himself and knock away the poison needles, releasing loud clanging sounds in the process.

The people from Blood Alliance thought that Happy was forced by their Seventh Elder to turn around and save himself, but once the Seventh Elder held his spear and withdrew, the cheers at the tips of their tongues faded away, and they looked puzzled.

Happy had clearly been cornered to the point that he was full of openings, and if he just pushed him a little more, he could kill Happy, but the Seventh Elder chose to give up on attacking at that moment.

But while those who were laymen were just watching the fun, those who were elites watched the secrets Happy used in the fight.

The Third Elder and Thirteenth Elder, who had not attacked so far, had grave expressions on their faces. One of them raised his hand and brought the xiao to his lips, and the other lifted his axe.

Both fighters parted after the brief exchange, and when Happy looked at the evil man once more, there was a wary look in his eyes.
