Chapter 1078: Put on a Disguise and Kill in an Ambush, Making a Break

When Happy faced the ambush from the group of elites from Evil Emperor, Happy might have successfully escaped from them safely, but he did not leave immediately.

The effects of Origin Leopard Pill lasted for two hours.

If he was going to leave after escaping so easily, Happy would find it incredibly wasteful.

More than one and a half years ago, he was set up by Dream Clouds and laid in bed in a coma for one and a half years!

This time, he was set up by Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor again, and he was nearly forced into a corner. If anyone were in his place, they would definitely be very pissed. If this were the past, Happy would not be strong enough, and he would definitely find a place to train before he got enough strength to come back and take revenge with a stab in their backs. But now, he had the ability to take revenge. It was only natural that he would not run in dejectedness.

After he fled one-third of a mile away, Happy quietly crept into the forest like a phantom. He arrived at the edge where Evil Emperor and his group originally hid themselves.

It was just as he imagined.

Evil Emperor was incredibly disappointed and angry with the group of top-class elites, and after he cast them aside, he left alone. Class One Hall and Wild Wolves did not linger around either.

Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng brought a group of Class One Hall members away. The remaining twenty or so Wild Wolves members stayed outside the forest, intending to pack up and return to Beijing.

When he saw this, Happy opened his eyes, placed a human skin mask on his face, and instantly turned into an average looking middle-aged man.

He brought a normal fourth-echelon sword he used in the past from his Universe Bag and shot out of the forest.

“Who is it?!”

No matter what, the group outside the forest were all top-class elites. Right when the sound of sleeves fluttering was heard, Flame Wolf and the others immediately noticed. The group stopped moving in an incredibly alert manner, and they shouted fiercely.

When they turned around to look, they saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man charging out of the forest alone.

They frowned, and the group relaxed.

“Get lost!”

Coincidentally, Flame Wolf was in a bad mood. When he saw this Chinese player who seemed to just be passing by charge out of the forest toward them, his gaze turned cold, and he shouted in anger.

“Hmph!”

Happy longed for the Wild Wolves causing trouble to him, he snorted, jumped into the air, and drew his longsword. He utilized the momentum and executed a seemingly fancy sword force. While he was above the others, he flung it at Flame Wolf, who was in front of the group. The attack came very quickly.

“Hah!”

“Flame Wolf, you’re being underestimated.” The Wild Wolves were not surprised, but were delighted. They stared at Flame Wolf and the unfamiliar Chinese man who suddenly appeared with great delight, because the middle-aged man was about to be in trouble.

Coincidentally, Flame Wolf was filled with anger, and he did not know where to vent his anger. When he saw that the person had gone up against him in a suicidal manner. A savage and brutal look flashed in his eyes.

“Die!”

He positioned his hands into claws, and Flame Wolf went forward and faced the sword force.

To him, this person who only had half a set of demon vessels and only had a normal fourth-echelon sword in his hands was at most between first-class and top-class.

But what he did not expect that when his palm-generated wind crashed against the sword force in the air, the seemingly fierce palm-generated wind would be instantly torn effortlessly by the sword force.

“What?!” Flame Wolf’s expression changed.

He was airborne, and he did not have time to change his attack. The slash cut into his body.

Happy would not give Flame Wolf more chances to expose his identity. He executed his second and third slashes right after the first slash.

Even if he did not use Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, with the additional Arm Strength, Happy was much stronger than before. Besides, he had the effects from Origin Leopard Pill on him, and the power from his slash did not lose to that of a martial artist at the beginning stage of Myth Realm.

The sword crashed so violently into Flame Wolf that he grunted and fell backward. He lost his balance in the air.

The second and third slashes landed on him, and Flame Wolf’s body fortification was instantly broken. He shuddered violently and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

“Oh no!”

“Save him!”

The people behind Flame Wolf finally noticed that the situation was off. They did not expect that the unfamiliar middle-aged man’s casual slash would contain so much power. They had the expressions of them underestimating him fall away. The two people closest to Flame Wolf attacked at the same time, and they were prepared to negate the two subsequent slashes from the middle-aged man.

But Happy was prepared for it since a long time ago.

After three slashes, Flame Wolf already had his organs shift because he was caught off guard. He was struggling for breath now, and Happy delivered a hidden force in secret.

The pitiful Flame Wolf had not even gotten to identify his enemy before he had his organs destroyed by Happy while his head was still in a fog. His soul returned to Guanlin Temple.

The group of Wild Wolves elites were unable to hold themselves back any longer.

When they saw that Flame Wolf was cut down soon into the exchange, their unyielding spirit as mercenaries and loyalty to each other instantly burned. They did not even need to communicate with each other. A thick wave of killing intent instantly infected all their spirits.

“Take revenge for Flame Wolf!”

Once they put down Flame Wolf’s corpses, the group drew their weapons and surrounded Happy from the left and right.

“Perfect timing!”

Happy did not execute any killing moves when he fought against the two Wild Wolves just now because he had been waiting for this moment.

Whoosh!

Full Winds in Long Skies!

Only when the group surrounded him did he activate his true origin aura. His Recondite Steel Heavy Sword instantly replaced the fourth-echelon masterpiece, and he swung it horizontally.

When Wild Wolves saw the large black sword appear in the middle-aged man’s hands, they looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

“Damn it!”

“It’s Happy!”

“Run!”

The group shouted in fear.

But those warnings were already not enough to help them from getting out of the battlefield.

A fierce sword force swept outward, and right after the twenty or so people were barely able to negate most of the damage in the first sword force, two waves of powerful strength crashed violently into them swiftly, and they coughed up blood before they were sent flying.

There were more than twenty of them, and all of them were thrown off the ground before they crashed against the ground. The one closest to Happy was killed by the shock on the spot and died. The remaining few felt their organs, qi, and blood tumble. They had a hard time gathering their qi together, and their bodies felt as if they had been crushed by stones weighing tens of thousands of pounds. They could barely move, and they could only watch Happy get closer to them. Their faces gradually turned pale.

*****

When he arrived in front of the people, Happy did not attack immediately.

He pointed his longsword at a person’s eyes diagonally.

When he stared at Happy’s sword tip, he sucked in a deep breath, gnashed his teeth and cursed, “Someone will take revenge for us!”

Then, a cold flash flashed past his eyes.

Happy moved very quickly and decisively. His gaze was so calm that it was terrifying.

The people beside them watched the entire process. When they saw their companion’s corpse fall into the dust with a loud thud, they felt chills down their bodies.

When the longsword moved to the second person, the person clearly hesitated for a while, and he did not immediately do something to anger Happy.

Happy’s voice crept into the Wild Wolves’ ears. “Tell Evil Emperor that this is just a small warning. From today onwards, each of the people who stays in the Chinese server must be prepared to lose their heads at any moment.”

“Did you hear me?” Happy raised his chin while he looked down at them.

The Wild Wolves looked at each other before they sucked in sharp breaths. They nodded at the same time.

“Very good.” Once Happy finished speaking, he drew his longsword back slowly.

These Wild Wolves thought that they had just survived…

“You can die now.”

Before these people could gather their qi together and recover, a cold glare that was like lightning flashed past their eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their bodies shuddered at the same time. It was as if all the air in their lungs were sucked out of them, and they fell against the ground.

*****

After readily and smoothly killing all twenty-seven Wild Wolves as well as picking the equipment they dropped, Happy did not linger around. He left the scene of the crime without stopping. He did not want to waste time with Evil Emperor when he came back in anger. With his current strength, it was practically impossible for him to kill Evil Emperor while he had that mental pressure and ability to largely reduce a person’s speed.

Whoosh!

He activated Wave-like Subtle Steps fully.

When he listened to the sound of the wind pouring into his ears, Happy quickly thought about what he should do.

‘Evil Emperor didn’t bring a lot of elites into Beijing this time. There’re only about thirty of them. This time, I got rid of thirty Wild Wolves in one go, and this will surely make Evil Emperor be in a foul mood for a while. Right now, he can’t go into the city, just like me. I have a human skin mask too, and the Prophet can’t find me.

‘Before I show up and attack again, it’s impossible for Evil Emperor to know about my whereabouts. Once I do, Evil Emperor will definitely rush over without stopping.

‘This period of time should last for quite a long while, and I should be able to use it to create a chance for Wind Assault Tower to make a break.’

When he thought of this, Happy remembered the large area that Ji Feng and his group logged off while they were in the midst of their break out.

That was a place to the east of Beijing, and it was in the direction to the mountains.

‘If I can attract Evil Emperor and Class One Hall’s attention, then Wind Assault Tower’s chance in breaking out will increase by at least thirty percent!’

*****

Evil Emperor only received Flame Wolf’s messenger pigeon five minutes after he left. He learned that they were ambushed by Happy in disguise after they split up, and the remaining Wild Wolves were all killed. Not a single one of them was left. At that moment, no one knew just how dark was Evil Emperor’s expression.

Dream Clouds only learned of this news a few minutes after Evil Emperor, and that was because her people had been keeping close watch over Guanlin Temple. In the end, her subordinates noticed a large group of Wild Wolves coming out from inside, and her subordinates quickly wrote a letter to notify her of this.

“The ambush failed, and we lost all the Wild Wolves we sent over there. This guy…” When Dream Clouds learned of this, her expression was very dark. She frowned with a grave expression, and her gaze sparkled. No one knew what she was thinking about.

“Evil Emperor is right. If we can’t kill him during the period of time he’s hunted and lock him up for a month, there will be a long period of time where Happy will be a thorn in the flesh for Class One Hall.” Someone reminded her by the side.

Dream Clouds looked up. “Who can kill him?”

That one sentence was enough to make the people around her shut up simultaneously. Even Evil Emperor had failed in killing when he brought over a large group of people to encircle and kill him. They did indeed not have an even more effective plan or suggestion to kill Happy.

“As of current, our most important plan is to completely destroy Wind Assault Tower and absolutely vanquish Phantasmal Shadow’s morale. As for Happy, we can temporarily ignore him.”

She stopped talking for a moment before Happy had her subordinates send her orders. “Inform all our members in the hall. If they see Happy, they are not to fight against him head on. They are to immediately log off to avoid fighting against him aside from the time he appears with the people who want to break out from Beijing.”

Class One Hall’s elders were prepared to send this order out when one of the elders suddenly received a messenger pigeon.

Once he skimmed through the letter, he quickly turned to Dream Clouds.

“One Emperor has appeared to the west of Beijing, and he killed all the members in two of our training spots. We lost more than one hundred of our people.”

Dream Clouds felt her spirits lift. “Looks like Phantasmal Shadow is prepared to make a break… Hmph. Have the people over tighten their defense! Notify Blood Robes and Monk With Thick Eyebrows to prepare to aid them.”

Before her voice faded away, another messenger pigeon landed in the elder’s hand.

A few seconds later, he stated an information that caused Dream Clouds to be shocked and bewildered.

“A mysterious player has appeared to the west of Beijing. He has no sect emblem on his chest, and he’s attacking the people who are surrounding Ji Feng. Right now, more than five hundred of our people have died, and the number of casualties is still increasing drastically…”
