Common Reed Land was a large stretch of land. As violent sound blades cut down the reeds ruthlessly, a straight line that was 656 feet was reduced to flat land. Anyone who looked over would find that it lacked aesthetic and any sort of beauty.
Happy originally could not ascertain the specific location of the zither sounds, but when he saw that piece of land, he increased his speed.
For some reason, the power and momentum just now caused him to subconsciously remember the day when Mu Clan’s branch in Yangzhou was attacked by Class One Hall and Towering Palace.
In that battle replay, Wind Chimes used Soul Breaking Song so that Mu Clan’s members could kill as many enemies as possible. In the end, since she was not powerful enough to control the technique, her strings snapped, and she died.
Just now, that astonishing and terrifying power was clearly several times more powerful than the power Wind Chimes used at that time, and this caused Happy’s heart to tense!
Even though he did not believe that there was anyone in the Chinese server who would dare go up against Wandering Know-it-all’s disciple, his instincts told him that the situation was not good. He increased the speed in Illusory Cave Steps until it reached the peak. Then, with his fastest speed, he flew above Common Reed Land and headed to that eyesore of a place.
Happy’s judgment was pretty good.
When he looked over, he saw a woman with a pale face sitting on a giant piece of empty land. She had haggard breathing, and her body was limp.
Wind Chimes!
Even though her demeanor was completely different from the other Wind Chimes, who was gentle and had a playful air about her, Happy was still able to immediately identify this woman who liked white robes, even though she had a cold and awe-inspiring presence about her that held herself aloof from others, no longer possessed the delicate air of a girl, and actually looked murderous now.
Happy looked around, and he quickly noticed two corpses lying not too far away from Wind Chimes. More accurately speaking, they were now blurry corpses that were so horribly mangled that they were just a bloody mess. They should be the enemies who caused Wind Chimes to use a forbidden technique.
“…This is bad!”
When he redirected his gaze, he noticed a man drawing his saber to slowly get closer to Wind Chimes. Happy increased his speed again and rushed into Common Reed Land like an arrow.
Even if a slow-witted person saw this, he or she would know that the killing intent on that man’s face was directed at Wind Chimes!
Happy had already forgotten that this Wind Chimes had nothing to do with him. All he could think of was Wind Chimes using her frail shoulders to carry that ridiculously huge zither casket around with her while she followed their party.
“Stop!”
His shout was like a clap of thunder in spring. It sliced into the empty ground in Common Reed Land.
Whoosh!
The man’s focus was completely on Wind Chimes, because of the angle, he did not notice that Happy was charging over. It was only when he heard the sound of sleeves fluttering was he slightly shocked. He thought that Wind Chimes’ helpers had arrived.
But when he turned his head around, he only saw an unfamiliar and young man. He was alone, and his sole companion was his sword. The nervous expression vanished from the man’s face, and once he scrutinized Happy, the look in his eyes was replaced by indifference and killing intent.
He was alone, and he was not affiliated to any sect.
He should not be from Wandering Know-it-all but was just a passerby.
Originally, when Wind Chimes heard that someone arrived, she lit up in happiness, as if she heard a song from immortals.
But when she turned around to look, she saw only a normal Moksha Realm swordsman who was a stranger to her run over. In fact, his lightness skill had not reached Grandmaster Realm just yet. Her heart instantly fell into the pits of despair once more, and her face was filled with disappointment.
This person was from Wild Wolves, and even the top-class elites in the Chinese server had a hard time fighting against them! Unless a group from a large sect came over, not only will they not be able to save her, they will also lose their lives.
*****
Even though Wind Chimes was so weak that she cannot move, when she saw that the person had a sharp gaze and was burning with righteousness as well as justice, she could not bear the thought of this young man dying for no reason for her. She hesitated for a moment before she quickly shouted her warning.
“Hurry up and leave! He’s from Wild Wolves!”
That person from Wild Wolves was originally a little hesitant.
At that moment, when he heard Wind Chimes take the initiative to warn the person to leave, shocking killing intent shone from that Wild Wolf’s eyes.
“When Wild Wolves kill, we never leave anyone alive. Since you’re here, you might as well die.”
As he spoke, he left behind an afterimage from where he stood, and he went to Happy with a terrifying speed.
*****
But they did not know that when Happy came over, he was already on high alert.
Wind Chimes had been playing the game for five years, and she had long since reached Inaction Realm!
These three people were enough to force Wind Chimes to use a forbidden technique that was the same as her committing double suicide with them. This was something that even an average top-class elite had difficulty in doing!
While he ran over, Happy already had a myriad of thoughts flash in his heart. In fact, he even suspected that the man might be from Wild Wolves.
Once Wind Chimes gave him that warning, his heart sank.
‘They’re really from Wild Wolves?’
Even though he had not made preparations to face Wild Wolves, he did not expect that as time passed, Wild Wolves would have already become so strong that they could force Wind Chimes to such a situation. Even so, he did not think about shrinking back even in the slightest.
Since he had already run into him, he would naturally fight against him!
No matter what, he would have to fight against Evil Emperor sooner or later, and now, since he had the chance, he could gain an understanding of the strength among those Wild Wolves by fighting against this normal Wild Wolf. In fact, it was necessary for him to fight against this Wild Wolf so that he could understand them.
A few thoughts flashed in his heart, and his gaze instantly turned much colder. He swung his sword without hesitation and went up against the person while he shouted, “I don’t care whether you’re a Wild Wolf or a Crazy Wolf. Since you’ve decided to come at me, die!”
The last word was filled with an astonishing might. With one Great Demonic Billow, he drew a blinding black flame in the air, and it went charging at that Wild Wolf in waves.
“Hmph!” The disdain in the person’s eyes became greater. “You only have a fourth-echelon grade one masterpice, and your sword technique hasn’t even reached Grandmaster Realm just yet. Even so, you dare to act so presumptuously in front of me?! You truly are ignorant.”
He turned to the side and easily avoided Happy’s wild sword attack before he suddenly increased his speed. Then, he instantly arrived in front of Happy.
The black saber brought with it a cold and bone-chilling glare, and it instantly formed six saber shadows to seal all of Happy’s escape routes.
With just one move, Happy descended into danger.
‘As expected of a Wild Wolf. These international mercenaries are indeed cautious.’
Happy found the situation regrettable, and he sighed.
He had given him a clear opening in his attack to lure this person into attacking, but he did not expect that this man would still choose to change his moves and perform an attack that would allow him to attack and defend at the same time instead of launching a killing move that would take his life in one go.
Even though it was a pity, Happy was not negligent in the slightest in his actions.
A large golden bell rose from his body and crashed violently into the six saber glares that came cutting at him.
Clang!
A loud sound rose. The saber glares all shattered, and the golden bell was destroyed. Golden Bell Cocoon might be a Blessed Realm body fortification technique, once the profound skill was used, it could still manage to fully negate the man’s saber glares at the moment before their power was fully unleashed.
“Hmm?”
Happy’s move was clearly against the man’s expectations. He did not think that his attack, which he was certain could kill Happy, would be so easily broken through.
Whoosh!
He swung his longsword and released seven black lotuses in one go to launch a counterattack.
This scene stunned Wind Chimes.
Just now, when she saw Happy’s “shocking” move, she was already prepared to close her eyes so that she would not witness his death, but she did not expect that this person seemed to have a mysterious way of fighting. He actually managed to use the profound skill of Golden Bell Cocoon in such a familiar manner and force that Wild Wolf to take a few steps back.
“Pretty interesting.” Once he was forced back, that person put on a cold sneer. “I’ll kill you in three moves!”
A violent and chaotic gust of wind suddenly gushed out from behind that Wild Wolf!
Boom!
With that person as the center, an astonishing presence exploded from his body. The reed powder everywhere in the area was blown up by this astonishing qi wave, and it filled the air. Within an instant, it filled a circular area of hundreds of feet.
His vision was obscured.
That powder, which was like lime, blew into his eyes.
“Hmm?” Happy was obviously stunned, and his eyes were in a state of discomfort.
At the same time, warning bells rang in his heart. Before he could even think about this carefully, the powder in front of him turned into a huge vortex, and a fierce saber will shot out from that vortex.
That instantaneous hesitation caused the fierce saber will to be able to arrive in front of Happy with a furious momentum, and he could not avoid it.
Indestructible Body!
During the moment of crisis, Happy quickly activated Indestructible Body.
His skin instantly hardened, and a shocking will descended on him.
That fierce saber will practically landed on him at the same time he activated Indestructible Body.
A force that made him want to vomit blood crashed into him.
But Happy still successfully avoided the fatal attack!
A surprised gasp rose from the air again, as if the Wild Wolf was surprised by how his attack was blocked. Then, the profound skill from Indestructible Body sent the attack straight back into the Wild Wolf.
The victor in a fight between elites would usually be decided in an instant, and the person who would come out of the battle alive could also be decided in a moment.
Happy instantly descended into a desperate situation because of the change in his environment and because of the discomfort in his eyes. But the valuable profound skill in Indestructible Body managed to make him last through the attack.
However, Wild Wolf was stunned for half a second because the killing move he instantly created was blocked.
That pause for half a second might be completely useless to a normal person, but in Happy’s eyes, this was the most crucial key that would turn the tides of the battle!
This Wild Wolf was much stronger than the three elders from Blood Alliance, whom he faced two days ago. Regardless of his intellect or his strength, he was much more superior than them, because he had actually managed to damage Happy even if he was protected by Indestructible Body.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
At the instant the Wild Wolf was sent reeling back, Happy activated his counterattack without hesitation. His body twisted about like a dragon curling up. He shut his eyes tightly and rushed into the reed powder fog like a flash of lightning.
Bang!
A solid crash rose in the air.
That Wild Wolf was kicked viciously out of the reed powder fog.
Whoosh!
Quite a large trail of reed powder followed after him, and while other reeds that were cut flew about the air, he was sent flying out of the fog like a cannonball. He tumbled about for more than thirty-two feet because he could not gain his balance. Then, he finally managed to jump to his feet.
Because of all the rolling about just now, his mighty-looking equipment was stained with a lot of reed powder. He looked incredibly dirty and pathetic.
Not far away, Wind Chimes, who was still weak, was completely dumbfounded. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief.
She originally thought that the unlucky person who was kicked out of the fog should be the unfamiliar Moksha Realm swordsman.
But with just one exchange of blows, it seemed like this Wild Wolf elite was forced back the second time, and he suffered quite the setback.
“Cough!”
A bit of the reed powder stained his lips by accident. The Wild Wolf spat it out in anger, and his eyes turned cold and cruel. He stared at Happy while he walked out of the fog slowly, and it was as if there was a ball of invisible flames burning in the Wild Wolf’s eyes.
“You angered me.”
When he heard this, Happy only shrugged, but pretended that he did not hear it. With an extremely calm expression, he said, “I just found your act of bullying a girl an eyesore. If you want to fight, I’ll entertain you.”
“Of course I’ll fight you.” When the Wild Wolf said this, his tone suddenly changed. “But I’ll only take care of you after I complete my task.”
Once he finished talking, a black and thin glare shot out of his hand. Its goal was Wind Chimes, who was not far away, and had absolutely no way of fighting back!
