Chapter 1144: Heaven Crystal’s Sword Will, Suppression

Jian Ao’s condition instantly recovered to the peak of his condition. Happy was slightly shocked and amazed, but he was mostly solemn. He did not expect this to happen.

In truth, with Happy’s current abilities, if he used Heaven Crystal to fight against an elite who was walking down the dao of heaven, he could break free of being pinned by Jian Ao in two hours and leave the island.

However, it was because of his confidence toward his own strength that he wanted to treasure the chance of fighting against an elite who was walking down the dao of heaven. He wanted to use the chance to increase the levels and realms for Hourly Sword Technique and Sun Finger. Happy had indeed managed to do it. In two hours, Sun Finger had reached the seventh realm, and Hourly Sword Technique reached the peak of the third realm.

Based on the script he designed for himself, now that he had left the cave, it was about time for him to leave the island and shake off Jian Ao.

What Happy did not expect was that at the final moment, Jian Ao recovered to the peak of his condition, and with the Sword Sect elites surrounding him from all directions, the pressure increased exponentially.

“Great move.”

“Did you think that I would be like my worthless disciple?” Jian Ao slowly quirked his eyebrow with an arrogant look in his eyes. He stared into Happy’s eyes and said, “Sword Sect made preparations for decades to reobtain Heaven Crystal. Even if I have to cast aside my pride, I will not allow you to destroy Sword Sect’s grand plan!”

His words blatantly revealed one meaning. If Happy refused to give up Heaven Crystal, he would not care about his status as an elite who was walking down the dao of heaven. He would work together with the Sword Sect disciples to kill Happy!

Right after he finished speaking, Happy’s crazed laughter rose in the forest.

“Haha!”

A thick wave of qi filled his voice. His laughter was like a wind force that spread out in waves. Violent gusts of wind shook the trees in the forest.

“Sword Sect… you’re amazing! Jian Ao, you’re an amazing sect master as well! This is truly a good move!”

The dozens of Sword Sect elites in the forest froze. They stopped moving and looked shocked. The crazed laughter seemed to be mixed with a sonorous and intimidating dragon’s roar, causing their qi and blood to surge in their bodies.

“What a powerful sound wave intimidation!”

“Is he really just a normal Shaolin Temple disciple?”

The group looked at each other at a loss, and during that time, they protected their minds.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!!”

The crazed laughter continued echoing loudly in the forest.

Jian Ao stared at Happy with a solemn expression while he laughed nonstop. However, he did not dare to do anything to stop him. Happy’s Dragon Swings Its Tail had already allowed him to clearly understand that he could not gain an advantage with his offense. If his enemy did not move, he was not to move as well.

At that moment, the crazed laughter came to a stop.

“The world is large, and if I want to leave, I will leave! Sword Sect, you will not be able to stop me!”

The Sword Sect elites in the forest had just dispelled the discomfort brought by their qi and blood surging when they immediately heard Jian Ao’s enraged shout coming from within the forest.

“Sword Sect disciples, form your formation and stop him!”

“You’re thinking of stopping me?!”

The Sword Sect elites in the eastern side of the forest had just registered the situation when they saw an afterimage closing the distance between at the speed of lightning. In a flash, he was in front of them.

“Set up the formation!”

“Hurry!”

The Sword Sect elites in the forest almost simultaneously delivered waves of dazzling and brilliant sword glares.

When they faced the enemy who drew close to them like a phantom, the Sword Sect elites showed great teamwork and occupied a direction each. Their sword glares reflected off each other and shone. The sword glares stacked on each other and danced in orderly rows. Rustling sounds rose nonstop.

Ten! Twenty! Thirty!

It was the simplest sword formation, but when the attacks appeared in the sky, their momentum and power increased by several times! The sword glares connected with each other to form a net, and it covered the entire area to shut off all of Happy’s exits.

Happy’s momentum did not diminish. It was as if he had been unable to stop and crashed into the fierce and endless sword net. Those countless fierce sword glares tore his body into countless shreds with loud bangs.

When they saw this, the Sword Sect elites became motivated.

“We caught him!”

The dozens of Sword Sect elites in that direction had delight show on their faces.

The sword formation might be simple, but due to the unique qi cultivation technique and sword technique from Sword Sect, after they created their formation, the power would increase by several fold. When Happy entered the formation, it was as if he was surrounded by dozens of Myth Realm elites. Even a martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm would not be able to escape unscathed.

However, just when the Sword Sect elites thought that Happy was either dead or injured, a thunderous shout shot out from the shattered but dazzling sword glares.

“Begone!”

“ROAR!!!”

The dragon’s roar shook the sky and earth.

The trees in the forest trembled violently.

The people who rushed over from the other three directions felt a violent gust of wind crash against their faces. Their qi and blood tumbled about, and their qi spilled out. They became much slower.

The dozens of Sword Sect elites who were the closest were the first to suffer from the attack. Their bodies shuddered at the same time, and they felt as if their chests had been struck by a powerful force. They grunted at the same time and staggered. They could not even hold their weapons firmly.

When the dragon’s roar was delivered, the sword formation was broken.

The defense in Happy’s true origin aura was even stronger than the defense of a martial artist walking down the dao of heaven. When Happy faced the sword formation created by the martial artists who were at the peak of Inaction Realm, he did not even think about avoiding it. He delivered his first slash, and with the force of a cannonball, broke out of the sword formation.

He delivered his second slash, and five Sword Sect elites had blood gush out of their chests. They cried out in pain and were sent flying out of the battlefield.

At the same time he attacked, he did not stop moving. He jumped over the Sword Sect elites’ heads and broke out of the encirclement!

“Stay where you are!”

Jian Ao naturally knew that the people in his sect would not be able to stop Happy so easily. When Happy attacked, he had already caught up to him from behind.

But Happy ignored him and continued dashing forward.

Clang!

Jian Ao was finally unable to control himself and attacked.

His sword force sliced through the air.

The Sword Sect disciples around only saw a sharp and white long arc that caught up to Happy from behind at lightning speed. Then, as easily as a hot knife would cut into butter, it ripped into Happy’s body.

When they saw Happy’s body being torn, the Sword Sect disciples were shocked.

‘He’s dead? No way!’

Right when they were shocked and this thought appeared in their heads, a fierce sound of air being torn rose beside Jian Ao!

Ting!

Swish!

Whoosh!

Bang!

The continuous sounds rose, and with a grunt, Jian Ao was sent more than 32 feet backward.

“The sect master is injured!”

The Sword Sect disciples nearly suffered a whiplash from the instantaneous change. They did not even know how Happy managed to appear near Jian Ao, and neither did they know how Happy managed to force Jian Ao into a disadvantage, even though he was nigh invincible.

When they saw that Happy was sticking closely to their sect master like a maggot and shutting down Jian Ao’s movements with fierce finger-generated gusts of wind and dense sword glares, the group were instantly stunned by the scene in front of him. The Sword Sect disciples were astonished.

“Set up formation!”

But when two supreme martial artists fought against each other, it was impossible for them to get involved.

The two people moved too quickly. One of them fled, and the other chased. One of them retreated, while the other forced his movements. The fierce finger-generated gusts of wind and sword glares scattered everywhere, and the trees along the area were all destroyed and pierced through. Occasionally, someone would be sent sprawling on his back because the remaining force from the attacks accidentally attacked him.

“By the looks of it, you don’t have the ability to keep me here.” Once Happy used a fierce Dragon Swings Its Tail coupled with Full Winds in Long Skies to occupy an advantage, he did not continue attempting to break out of the encirclement. Instead, he chose to use the fiercest offense to suppress and chase after Jian Ao.

Both of them were at their peaks.

Even a martial artist at the dao of heaven would find it hard to change their current disadvantage and suppress someone who was of equal strength to them in just a short period of time. When he heard this, Jian Ao smiled coldly.

“If you’re so good, then don’t leave. I’d like to see who will have the last laugh.”

“Fine by me!”

While Happy laughed madly, he continued using all sorts of attacks without reducing the intensity of his offense in the slightest.

Petite Dragon! Sun Finger! Hourly Sword Technique! Finger blades!

All these attacks were delivered.

Jian Ao scowled.

Even martial artists walking down the dao of heaven found themselves resigned when they faced Petite Dragon. He could only continue to remain in the defensive and use his sword to parry Happy’s attacks. However, the fierce and powerful hidden force and remaining force from Happy’s attacks were reflected on him from his longsword, and it caused him to retreat continuously. He shifted about to reduce his pressure and continued fighting against Happy.

Dragon Capture!

Sun Finger, Hourly Sword Technique…

Once he gained the momentum, Happy showed no mercy. He delivered the ultimate techniques from Ten True Dragon Styles in a continuous chain, and he coincidentally seized Jian Ao when he was preparing a counterattack.

Jian Ao’s expression changed.

He was struck again by a finger attack and a slash. His body fortification trembled.

Dragon Coil!

“ROAR!”

A huge, green dragon descended from the sky and bound Jian Ao when he tried to flee. He attacked again with his finger and his sword, driving Jian Ao into an even more pathetic state.

When the Sword Sect disciples saw that their sect master was being suppressed by Happy alone, they widened their eyes so much that they nearly popped out of their eye sockets.

“ROAR!”

A dragon’s roar rose.

Their blood and qi froze.

Jian Ao was now shocked, and he found the situation grave. It was only then that he realized Happy had been holding back during their fight just now.

But it was clear that he could no longer quickly get himself out of the fight now.

Even though Fire Qilin Blood had helped him return to the peak of his condition, his body fortification was weakened by a large degree, and it was still becoming weaker! When he saw that his body fortification was starting to shake and was showing signs of collapsing because of Happy’s suppressive and tight offense, Jain Ao finally noticed that the situation was bad.

“Set up formation with me at the centre!”

The people from Sword Sect answered his call.

But Happy would not give them the chance to set up their formation.

He smiled coldly, and without batting an eyelid, he poured waves of never-ending qi into Heaven Crystal.

Buzz!

Jian Ao had astonishing attainments when it came to the sword, and he was exceptionally sensitive to the strength in sword wills. At the instant Heaven Crystal’s sword will surged forward, an unprecedented sense of danger instantly filled his chest. He widened his eyes and quickly cast a glance at Heaven Crystal, which was exuding a bone-chilling cold in Happy’s hands.

Whoosh!

“Running?”

Happy had been waiting for this moment after suppressing him for so long.

The sword will in Heaven Crystal was activated, and it increased Happy’s attack by ten thousand points. His ability in breaking defenses was strengthened, along with his ability to break weapons. Now, he was going to deliver a true suppression.

This was also Happy’s trump card in fighting against Jian Ao!

There was a reason behind why he had been laying in wait patiently until now.

“Die!”

The sword force flew.

Boom!

Jian Ao’s swaying body fortification shattered with a bang. He felt as if he was rammed into by a huge force, and his body was sent flying at an astonishing speed.

Jian Ao wanted to use Happy’s strength to retreat, but Happy reacted even faster.

“ROAR!”

Right when the dragon’s roar appeared, Jian Ao’s body froze. His qi and blood tumbled in his chest, and his body stopped moving.

“Sect Master!”

The Sword Sect elites finally arrived.

The group shot forward without caring about their own lives, and they brandished their swords.

A large and endless wave of sword glares formed a sword net in front of Happy. They were packed densely together, and the momentum was astonishing. It separated Happy from Jain Ao, and Jian Ao was finally able to catch his breath.

Boom!

But before Jian Ao could sigh in relief, with great force, a monstrous sword will instantly tore apart the sword net the people formed.

“AHHH!”

Pained screams rose. The Sword Sect elites were sent flying. The trees in the area were knocked down, and the people were scared out of their
