Chapter 1042: Cut Down a Tentacle

Happy’s appearance brought quite a lot of trouble to Class One Hall.

Not only had he destroyed Dream Clouds’ plan of also killing Wind Chimes to strike a blow at Wandering Know-it-all while she vanquished Wind Assault Tower, he also caused Xie Lingyun’s death as well as indirectly caused Shi Huasheng’s death.

Two top-class elites died. The remaining four were like startled birds. They could care less about the Wind Assault Tower members who pounced on them from everywhere and gritted their teeth to withstand the feeling of weapons cutting into them. With their fastest speed, they charged out of the crowd in an attempt to unite with the main group under the roof.

However, while they could use their experience and skill to avoid most of the attacks from the Wind Assault Tower members everywhere and could even ignore some of the attacks, Wind Chimes was already safe, and now, she focused all her attention on these four people, especially on Luo Jing, who was great in using hidden forces.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wind Chimes had just faced death in the face just now, and she would not be polite to Luo Jing in the slightest. Her zither sounds changed their direction, and thousands of sound blades gathered together to form a long dragon that tumbled about with its savage and fierce body. It howled and charged at them. Then, in a manner that would not allow Luo Jing to fight back or hide from it, it descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Luo Jing.

At that moment, Wind Chimes finally revealed her strength as Demonic Zither!

“AAAAHHH!!”

Luo Jing’s body was instantly cut down by countless sound blades. Under the chaotic and fierce blades, he could see what was happening around him at all. He could only sense the blades that seemed to cut into his bones cut through him repeatedly. Very soon, he lost control over his body, and he could sense that his body seemed to have been swept off the ground by an invisible force.

Even though Luo Jing’s equipment was incredibly exotraordinary, Wind Chimes had decided to fight against him at full force, and the endless sound blades enveloped him nonstop. He did not even have the chance to fight back. Very soon, dense gashes were left on his equipment, and the places that were not protected were already sliced to bloody ribbons.

He screamed shrilly in pain, and when his flesh and blood gushed out nonstop in the storm of sound blades, Wind Chimes turned Luo Jing into a victim in a horror movie.

He could not use his hidden force at all in this situation.

When he saw that Luo Jing was completely controlled by Wind Chimes, Happy gave up on him and quietly jumped down the roof as if he had turned into smoke. The Wind Assault Tower members below him quickly moved away to open a path for him.

Even though their morale was already incredibly low, Happy’s sudden appearance and his unblockable Recondite Steel Heavy Sword gave him a large boost of confidence.

Although they did not know how Happy appeared in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters without any prior sign and did not know what Happy had been doing over the past half a month, Happy’s act of killing Xie Lingyun right when he appeared and completely destroying the fatal attack from the six top-class elites had allowed them to become much more confident than before. In fact, they thought that he was a backup arranged by their tower master in the place.

Happy did not disappoint them either.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

“Lure him away!”

Class One Hall was still able to act decisively. When they saw that Happy was catching up to him at an astonishing speed, the other two people in the original party of six sent a private message to their companion, who was about to be caught up.

The group broke off!

But it was no wonder. Even Xie Lingyun and Shi Huasheng, two great players, were suppressed by just one move from Happy. Happy had already reached an unfathomable degree in their hearts a long time ago, and they could not bring themselves to even think about counterattacking. They only hoped that their companion could get them a chance for them to get out of the situation safely.

Their companion gritted his teeth and had his sword change direction. He went to the left, where a group of Wind Assault Tower members were, and tried to split up with his companions.

However, before he could travel ten feet away, a powerful suction force dragged him back.

His face turned pale. When he turned around him, he swung his weapon behind him in an attempt to avoid the person behind him, but the greatest characteristic in Wave-like Subtle Steps was not in its speed. Instead, it was in its evasive abilities in a small area.

Happy easily moved to another side before he used Dragon Capture to grab and stun his opponent. Then, Recondite Steel Heavy Sword rammed against the person’s body mercilessly with the force of a mountain. In the swing was a powerful hidden force as well.

The person’s back was split open.

The Wind Assault Tower members around Happy might not be able to compare to top-class elites, but their abilities in pummeling a person was outstanding.

They had been surrounding the area and waiting for a long time. When they saw the Class One Hall elite being sent over with just one sword stroke, eight people immediately came forward with their swords brandished.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

They did not stop the person from flying toward them. These Wind Assault Tower members took the initiative to move to the side before their weapons left behind bloody gashes on the Class One Hall member’s back. Once he passed them, they continued leaving cuts on his body.

When the Class One Hall member fell on the ground, his body fortification had long since shattered. He was like a blood soaked rag when he took his last breath.

After that one seize and slash, Happy no longer paid attention to this unfortunate soul. He turned around and charged out of the crowd to chase behind the other two people from Class One Hall, leaving behind a bloody path in his wake.

The hidden force contained in Dragon Capture might not be very powerful, but the slash in Great Demonic World Destruction Art could destroy one-third of a person’s body fortification and even leave behind quite severe internal injuries. The hidden force Happy had fused into the slash could also make a person’s qi and blood surge for more than two seconds. When he landed in the hands of those Wind Assault Tower elites, there was no way he would not die!

“Damn it!”

When they noticed that their companion had died so quickly and Happy had caught up to them like a maggot attached to a bone, the other two were so terrified that they trembled.

Fortunately, their main group was close by.

A few Class One Hall elites took the initiative to push aside the defense line formed by Wu Kuo and the others. Their fierce attacks intersected with each other and went toward Happy while they said, “You’re too useless! How could you be sent running all over the place because of Happy alone?!”

“Don’t!”

The two people who managed to escape to safety finally felt safe, but when they saw a few of their friends actually nonchalantly going up against Happy, their expressions instantly changed, and they quickly shouted a warning, “Don’t fight head-on against him!”

Xie Lingyun had been killed with just one slash, and Shi Huasheng was destroyed after he was grabbed and cut. With just the few of them attacking Happy, they were basically recklessly throwing their lives away and would just be treated as appetizers for Happy.

But warning them right now was already too late.

Happy never intended to stop.

When he saw the sword forces and saber glares from the five top-class elites intersecting with each other to become a net and a chilling presence crashed into his face, Happy came to a swift halt. He lifted his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword high into the air before he cut down on the empty area in front of these five people.

Boom!

The sturdy flagstone tiles were crushed like tofu before Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, even though he used no skill when he swung his sword down.

A loud bang shot up.

The ground trembled. Countless stones turned into sharp hidden weapons, and they filled up the entire area, causing the group’s offense to be thrown into disarray.

The five people’s expressions changed.

Before they could react appropriately to the situation, the hidden force contained in the tiles struck them, and these five people were thrown off their feet.

Happy had the remaining force in the tiles propel him forward, and he used the chaos to charge into the crowd. Recondite Steel Heavy Sword howled when it was swung, and a few Class One Hall members who tried to provide reinforcements to their people from the back felt as if they crashed into a wall. The power that rebounded into them from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword sent them tumbling on the ground.

“Attack!”

Wind Assault Tower had originally been in a precarious situation. They did not expect that once Happy appeared, he would help them kill four top-class elites and even help them gain a chance to catch their breath after he tore apart the 1-3-4-2 formation set up by the group of top-class elites.

The Wind Assault Tower elites immediately had their eyes light up.

They did not remain idle. This group immediately started working hard once Happy gained the chance for them. They worked together with the archers behind them and with Wind Chimes’ zither sounds to launch the most vicious counterattack in the worst possible situation. The advance from the two hundred top-class elites came to a stop, and their inverted T formation was destroyed to the point that it had turned into a concave shape.

In an instant, Happy unceremoniously injured several people. With his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword in hand, he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps and entered the depths of the enemy group.

Dragon Capture!

He easily seized one person before he quickly moved behind him to avoid multiple fierce sword glares while he also swung his sword sideways to push down a large group of people.

Bang!

The unfortunate soul who was controlled took two staggering steps backward, and a black, howling sword glare swept past him. He crashed into the crowd like a fried braid dough.

The elites who rushed into the front of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were basically all aces from Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the twelve Beijing sects. All of them were prideful and incredibly confident people.

When they saw Happy charging into their midst alone and appeared as if he wanted to turn the tides, these arrogant elites were instantly enraged. Someone from the crowd jumped into the air and released a dense wave of sword sparks. Then, they traveled like falling snow to Happy’s face.

“How conceited! I’ll definitely kill you!”

There were a few others who attacked at the same time.

However, since they were surrounded by their own people, they could only use offensive targets that required them to lock onto their target.

Happy ignored all these people and seized the chaos to move forward. He did not even care about the sword sparks that were behind him. With a cold expression, he turned into a shadow and easily escaped from being targeted.

Happy knew that Class One Hall still had the absolute advantage right now.

More than two hundred elites had charged into the headquarters, and the elites behind them were entering in an endless stream. If he could not deal with them soon, Wind Assault Tower would soon have their front defense line broken, and the destruction would slowly extend to other areas before it completely crumbled.

Right now, he had to seize every second he had to try his hardest to destroy Class One Hall’s offensive rhythm.

The ones who led Class One Hall’s rhythm were this group of top-class elites.

Once this group died, it would not be a problem for them to chase the people from Class One Hall out of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.

When he thought of this, Happy sucked in a deep breath and quietly activated Full Winds in Long Skies.

At that moment, thirty seconds had already passed.

*****

“Stabilize the other directions!

“Leave Happy to us! He’s only one person!

“My friends, be careful! The damage in Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword is astonishing, and it has an extraordinary Arm Strength Suppression Ability! You mustn’t be careless! Activate your body fortifications and be prepared to fight using your hidden force. We’ll take turns to hold him back!

“His attack in sweeping down multiple people with one swing isn’t terrifying! Use defensive moves to negate damage! Don’t panic!”

When they faced Happy’s assault, where he moved freely as if he entered an area with no one around, Class One Hall quickly reacted to the situation. Someone stood out to give commands and deliberately led a group to surround Happy. All of them used defensive moves to reduce the damage Happy could deal on them.

What they did not know was that Happy had been waiting for this moment.

Full Winds in Long Skies!

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword howled and pushed forward in a hoop. A mighty wave of qi was fused into a fierce sword glare, and it crashed into the top-class elites around him.

Whoosh!

The group had just been in time to activate their hidden forces to negate Happy’s damage and the hidden force contained in his attack, but an even more powerful force suddenly crashed into their chests like an overlapping wave.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The group was caught off guard. Their chest plates looked as if they had suffered a fatal and terrifying attack. They caved in, and all dozen people were sent flying everywhere.

They were all heavily wounded.
