Chapter 1064: Murder Case, The Imperial Court is Enraged!

Ever since Happy activated the first realm for Marrow Cleansing Classic, Happy understood something.

While he was at Dafo Temple, he fought against Evil King Shi Zhixuan alone. At that time, if he had not had true origin aura with him and a large number of Fire Qilin Blood, which he obtained when he robbed from the storage at Sky Demon Branch, he would definitely not have lasted for so long in Evil King’s hands.

But now, Marrow Cleansing Classic had activated true abilities of innate attributes and largely increased the defense in his physical body. Even Evil Emperor, who was at the middle stage of Myth Realm, could do nothing to him when he used Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. At this moment, if he faced Shi Zhixuan once more, he might be able to last even longer and remain in a better condition.

From the moment Wind Assault Tower completely lost and lost their right to speak on behalf of Beijing and even the entire Chinese server, Happy knew that he would be surrounded in an incredibly dangerous situation. He had to face the dual threat from Wild Wolves and Dream Clouds.

That was why Happy had already been prepared for the worst possible outcome beforehand.

It was also because of this reason that he had to think about what would happen if he were to be forced to attack in a city one day. What would the situation be like if he were to be chased by the imperial court?

In the past, Myth Realm elites could still cause him a certain degree of trouble and intimidate him a little.

But now, Happy was confident that he would not die even when he faced Evil King, who was at the peak of Myth Realm, and because of it, Happy suddenly had an urge to test just how strong was the foundation of strength within the imperial court. He wanted to see whether it was possible for the imperial court to send elites who were stronger than Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

This was just a thought that had just risen in his mind, and he had not given it much thought yet.

But while he was at Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion, he heard Wandering Know-it-all’s words when he was feeling down and dejected, and this caused him to turn the thought into reality.

Of course, since he had to kill either way, it would be better if he went at it with a bang!

This was Happy’s style.

If he killed one person, he was a murderer, but if he killed ten thousand people, he would stand as a grand and imposing force.

He did not wish for himself to be chased pathetically all over the place by the imperial court after he killed just one or two people.

When he walked over, everything progressed as if it had been written out in a script. Things just went smoothly, just as Happy intended it to.

Once the spies behind him sent the news that he spent some time at the bank to the higher ups from Class One Hall, the people who served as sentries at Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters instantly increased by two to three fold.

Some of the aces who joined the fight to tear down Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters had also appeared in the crowd.

What caused Happy to be the most satisfied with the situation was that the effeminate swordsman who grated his nerves when he saw him had the intention to provoke him and make him angry with every sentence he uttered

When Happy noticed One Emperor and the rest appear, Happy did not continue delaying the fight. He suddenly attacked and beheaded the effeminate swordsman without hesitation. When he executed the sword slash by taking advantage of the situation, his sword glare instantly increased by leaps and bounds.

His damage was nearly fifty thousand points, and it contained the Arm Strength Suppress Ability from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. His Arm Strength allowed Happy to stand head and shoulders above all the current elites in World of Martial Arts once Marrow Cleansing Classic activated its first realm. Even if a martial arts provided a counter skill for its weapon or even a defensive skill such as a parry, it would still be impossible for them to block his attack.

Quite a number of Class One Hall members in the crowd who were quick to register what was going on and reacted quickly activated their body fortifications in an attempt to parry Happy’s attack, but all of them had a great force that they could not stand up against violently crush all the strength in their bodies. A fierce and stable sword-generated wind swept through their bodies effortlessly.

Thud!

With just one slash, dozens of people flew backwards into the crowd. Most of the people were cut into two in the air, and those who had their bodies intact could not even get up once they fell on the ground.

That sword slash stunned and intimidated all the Class One Hall members on the spot.

‘Let’s continue!’

Once he started slaughtering, Happy activated Wave-like Subtle Steps without stopping and went on to head to the densest part of the crowd.

The system notification of him being targeted by elite NPCs in multiple system-allocated organizations in Beijing and currently had a bounty placed over his head rang repeatedly in his head.

“Warning!

“You have killed an unarmed player, Sunset Glow in a protected zone in Beijing, and your crime has been recorded by Six Doors. Six Doors has already sent out Golden Saber Constables after you!

“You killed multiple unarmed players in a protected zone in Beijing, and you have attracted the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ attention. You have been classified as a villain, and Embroidered Uniform Guards has sent Dragon Fish Guard, Vermillion Bird out to be in charge of arresting you and bringing you to justice!

“You have killed more than ten unarmed players in a protected one in Beijing, and you have committed a grave crime! After you die, all your items will be taken from you by the imperial court. You will also be locked in prison for one month in the imperial prison!

“You have killed more than twenty unarmed players in a protected one in Beijing, and you have committed a severe crime! You shall not be pardoned for your crimes! Eastern Depot’s Second Grade Leader has personally come forth to arrest you and bring you to justice!

“You have killed more than fifty unarmed players in a protected one in Beijing! You have committed a heinous crime, and you have enraged the imperial court! Western Depot’s Vice Chieftain Yu Jintian has been sent forth, and he is prepared to capture you so that he can ask His Majesty to record his meritorious deed!”

The subsequent system notifications rang in Happy’s head continuously as Happy killed nonstop, and each notification was more severe than the last, which was why Happy decided to just mute the system notifications and not be bothered by anything else!

In the beginning, Happy was still worried that Class One Hall would be terrified because of the carnage Happy brought and start running all over the place.

What he did not expect was that Class One Hall seemed to be paying more attention to sending the strongest player in the Chinese server into the prison for death row criminals in Beijing, and all of them came forward to encircle without regard for their safety. Each of them was more reckless than the last and just came forward to hand their necks over to him, which spared Happy a lot of effort.

When the slaughter progressed further, he did not even need to search for places with a lot of people. The spot where he stood was already the place with the most number of people, and it also had the densest number of people.

In the blink of an eye, the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters was dyed red with fresh, hot blood that spilled all over the ground.

Whoosh!

When he saw that Class One Hall seemed to be intent to make him die in Beijing regardless of the cost and also saw how the people who were surrounding him from all sides looked as if they practically wanted to trap him by literally forming human walls around him, Happy brandished his sword and shouted before he activated Full Winds in Long Skies. Then, with one sword slash, swept down an entire army!

The hoop-shaped sword glare spread out in a matchless, fierce manner!

When they faced death, many people still felt unparallelled fear and a chill down their spines at the moment the sharp sword glare was about to touch them, and the thought of avoiding it bloomed in their heads.

Unfortunately for them, the people around them crowded around them, and they could not move anywhere.

The first sword glare swept past the area.

Dozens of people did not even have the chance to grunt, their bodies were torn in half horizontally, and they were thrown back.

But that was not all.

The second and third attacks from Full Winds in Long Skies arrived swiftly.

The people who came to surround the area from behind had not even registered what was going on based on their companions’ devastating screams from ahead, and a suffocating sword glare had already come charging past them with a grand momentum.

First layer, second layer, third layer!

Three circles of corpses were left behind.

More than two hundred mangled corpses laid around Happy with their faces blurred. They were strewn everyone on the ruins around him.

Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters instantly turned into a slaughterhouse in hell!

It was only at that moment that Class One Hall’s members finally understood that they had miscalculated Happy’s strength based on the reality presented before them.

In less than half a minute, countless members had already died in Happy’s hands!

Judging by the corpses on the ground, at least five hundred people had died, but half a minute had just passed since Happy started killing them.

However, if they retreated when they were halfway through executing their plan, they felt that they were wasting away their previous efforts.

The people did not know whether they should leave or not, and they found themselves in a difficult position!

Yet although Class One Hall’s members found themselves conflicted because they were irrevocably committed to the task, Happy did not care about their predicament. After he used Full Winds in Long Skies, he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps without stop. He also tossed a high-grade medicinal pill into his mouth, had it turn into a warm wave in his stomach, and replenished the three hundred qi points he spent activating Full Winds in Long Skies just now.

“Go!”

*****

Wu Kuo and the others had originally found this situation regrettable, and they were also anxious while they stood on the roof, but now, those feelings were gradually replaced by shock and a feeling of satisfaction after their hate had been vented.

When they saw Happy readily slaughter the Class One Hall members at the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters, they felt largely comforted.

The aggrievance they suffered throughout the day seemed to have been released by this eye-catching moment.

Someone among the crowd shouted loudly, “Brother Happy, you have to end the fight quickly! Once you kill this group of people, leave immediately! The elites from the imperial court should be here soon!”

The Class One Hall members became tense because of the person shouting from the crowd. They thought that Wind Assault Tower was prepared to help Happy break out of their encirclement, and they could not help but surround him.

One Emperor’s gaze was profound. His eyes continued moving along with Happy’s movements. He mumbled, “His sword technique might be slow, but the damage doesn’t lose to the last few styles in Fatal Thirteen Swords. I think that the weapon has limited his attack speed, so he gave up on speed and used his damage to suppress his enemies. This sort of method is actually pretty good in group fights.”

“One Emperor, should we make preparations and plan an escape route so that we can protect Happy and escort him out of Beijing?” Wu Kuo moved next to One Emperor, and there was some excitement in his voice.

One Emperor did not turn his head around when he answered in a flat voice, “He won’t leave.”

Wu Kuo and his friends behind him were stunned silent for a moment.

“Why?”

“We came here because of Wandering Know-it-all asking us to support Happy to save Wind Chimes.” One Emperor did not even bother sending a private message. He just told Wu Kuo and the rest their goal for this trip.

The group sucked in sharp breaths.

They knew just what sort of status Wind Chimes had and how important she was to Wandering Know-it-all, but…

After sucking in a sharp breath, Wu Kuo said logically, “It’s already impossible for him to succeed with how things have progressed! Happy already has trouble protecting himself, and Class One Hall sent a lot of people over! It’s impossible for us to bring her out of there.”

One Emperor’s expression was so profound and calm that it was terrifying. He said calmly, “That’s not necessarily true. Happy is the one who suggested the plan this time, and he’s not a reckless person. He did not do this because he was provoked to anger. He has a goal behind doing this, even though I’m not certain what it is.” He stopped talking for a moment before he continued, “Let’s continue watching. The people who can stop Happy this time are not the people from the imperial court, but Evil Emperor. As long as Evil Emperor and the Class One Hall aces don’t arrive, we still have a chance to save Wind Chimes.”

Wu Kuo and his group looked at each other and sucked in sharp breaths quietly.

It was impossible for them to not hear the underlying meaning in One Emperor’s words.

The people from the imperial court could not stop Happy. Could it be that Happy did not care about being put under a bounty by the imperial court at all?

Under this marvelous misunderstanding, time passed. In less than half a minute, another group of people from Class One Hall died.

Then, Happy executed his second Full Winds in Long Skies, and more than one hundred people died!

Class One Hall had sent over four thousand people to this place in an endless stream, and more than two thousand of them, but Happy did not seem to want to retreat at all.

Corpses and blood had filled the ruins to the point that it now looked like a slaughterhouse.

Finally, the Class One Hall members became hesitant in their movements, and their shouts were no longer as enthusiastic as before.

“Damn it!”

“Why aren’t the people from the two depots here yet?!”

“Are those bastards from Embroidered Uniform Guards… all flying kites or something?!”

There was no other moment where the desire among the Class One Hall members to see the imperial court’s pets was greater than this current instant.
