Chapter 860: Encounter! Happy VS Ralston

After the Thirteen Eagles left, the Twin Female and Male Demons’ gazes on Ralston instantly became strange. It was now a lot more wary, and they were also trying to guess his strength. In fact, they were much more careful as well.

How hilarious of them to have thought that Ralston was just a normal player from Mongolia just now.

They did not expect that Jade Faced Eagle King, whom even they believed they would not be able to win against, would not be able to last for even a few moves against this inconspicuous ruffian.

“We offended you just now. Please forgive us, friend.” No matter what, the purple-haired man was a part of those who walked down the evil path. He can be considered to be very good at smoothing things over, and he took the initiative to show weakness as well as ask for peace.

Ralston did not answer. His gaze was fixed on the two horses charging over to them from the distance. His prideful eyes were filled with the will to fight!

“They’re here.”

At that moment, Wan Wan seemed to have already noticed and recognized who had come over. She took a few light steps forward, and her gentle, charming, and curvaceous body exuded an astonishing as well as alluring presence in the dark.

“Really, those people from Kind Boathouse… You run into them wherever you go…”

“Shi Feixuan?” When the Twin Female and Male Demons heard this, they quickly exchanged a glance and increased their guard.

Wan Wan turned her head and cast the trio a glance. Her gaze lingered on Ralston’s face.

“Your chance is right in front of your eyes. As long as you can kill Shi Feixuan, you will have performed a great meritorious deed. When we go back, I will personally ask the higher ups to record your deeds. At that time, you will gain military ranks, points, and rewards. You will have all of them without a single one missing.”

“Shi Feixuan?”

The Twin Female and Male Demons sucked in sharp but quiet breaths, while Ralston was unable to help himself but snorted softly. He took the initiative to move and charged at the two horses.

He had already stayed here for a long time for the event this time.

Right now, one of the important characters of the event had appeared, and there was no way he can hold himself back.

*****

Just when Wan Wan noticed Shi Feixuan, Shi Feixuan had already sniffed Wan Wan’s unique scent from the dark plains. At the same time, she also smelled the bloody scent from the corpses of the reconnoiterers all around the place. She scowled, turned her head around, and looked toward Happy.

“As expected, the reconnoiterers ran into danger. It’s the doing of the evil cult.”

“What do you want me to do?”

Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill, and naturally, he also noticed the corpses littered all over the place, along with the charmin Wan Wan and the other three people standing among the corpses.

“They have more people on their side than we do, and there is a high possibility that there are other evil cult elites by the side who are eyeing us like tigers eyeing their prey. Let me go and check the evil cult’s strength in this place, and please hold the fort for me. If the situation is not right, we will immediately leave.” Shi Feixuan sent a private message to Happy resolutely.

“Got it.” While Happy nodded, the system sent a clear notification to him.

“Activated a quest.

“Protect Shi Feixuan and make sure she leaves this place safely as well as return to the camp alive!

“If you succeed, you will gain two thousand points, and your relationship status with Shi Feixuan will increase to Trusted. If you fail and Shi Feixuan dies, your military rank will be stripped from you, and your points will be drained to zero.”

Silence was stunned silent.

The harsh punishment for the quest made Happy wary. Since the system already said this, that meant that there was definitely someone violent in the area who can threaten Shi Feixuan’s life.

Regardless of whether it was due to his personal emotions or whether it was because of his quest, Happy did not want anything to happen to Shi Feixuan.

He immediately activated his skill to fuse together with his horse and forcibly increased the speed in his Hoof Shadow. It traveled like an arrow fired from its bow, and the horse rushed past Shi Feixuan’s side as if it was flying.

“Huh?”

At the moment he passed by Shi Feixuan’s steed, a pleasant but puzzled sound crept into Happy’s ears.

It was clear that Shi Feixuan recognized that this was a skill that allowed the user to fuse with the horse, and it was the one only Xu Zhiling and Kuo Zhong knew.

But Happy could no longer care so much about it at that moment.

If he wanted to do his best in scouting out the situation ahead of him and reduce the number of threats on Shi Feixuan, going forward and attracting firepower was the best option for him.

“Happy!”

“It’s Happy!”

The first sentence was Wan Wan’s displeased huff, and the second sentence was a surprised cry from the Twin Female and Male Demons.

Neither expected that once they sent away the plagues that were the Thirteen Eagles, they will immediately lure over an existence they could not hope to win against with brute force. The man and woman had their expressions instantly turn incredibly dark. Even though Wan Wan was right in front of them, they did not dare move to meet Happy.

At that moment, Ralston had already rushed more than sixty-five feet forward. Each step he took will cause the ground to tremble a little, and he will affect everything within a circular area of thirty-two feet, though the effects were not visible to the eyes.

At the moment Happy asked his Hoof Shadow to reach an area that was ninety-eight feet away from Wan Wan and her group, a strange power suddenly interrupted his skill of becoming one with his horse. He frowned, and slight surprise as well as solemnity showed up on his face.

Without another word, he jumped down from the back of his horse.

Clang!

A clear sword whine that lingered for a long time in the air traveled far and wide. In the dark night, it drew a dazzling sword force and crackled outward like lightning. Its goal was Ralston.

Since he was an enemy, Happy will naturally not hesitate.

Besides, since he had his skill interrupted beforehand, it caused Happy to sense a great and astonishing presence from the Mongolian, one that he had never sensed before.

‘An elite!’

Hence, when he attacked with Emperor Shocks World, he did not hold back whatsoever.

Ralston might not know who he was facing, but he was someone who grew up riding horses. From the speed in which Happy rode his horse, he could sense that Happy was riding at an abnormally fast speed.

How fast!

He immediately had some of his derision fall away while he stood ready for battle.

When the sword force came sweeping at him, Ralston was clearly stunned before he was delighted.

Roar!

He did not dodge it but took a few steps forward!

The sound that was like a dragon’s roar and elephant’s honk rose to the sky.

At that moment, Happy could clearly sense two shocking waves spread out, but they cannot be seen. Then, his Emperor Shocks World, which had always succeeded in every attack, had most of its damage negated in the air before it could even hit its target.

At the same time, that sound that was like a dragon’s roar and an elephant’s honk crept into his ears, and it caused his heart to tremble a little. It was as if he was not looking at a person, but a huge elephant with an awe-inspiring presence staring down at him!

‘He’s powerful!’

Without another word, Happy activated Arhat Body and blew away those two invisible waves of pressure from the two forces before he landed firmly on the ground.

Whoosh!

Without stopping for even an instant, around ten sharp sword glares bloomed in front of Ralston.

They came in a never-ending stream!

Ralston’s expression changed. He did not dare to remain idle in this situation, so he crossed his arms and took two swift steps forward!

Thud! Thud!

This time, he was much faster when he landed on the ground, and his footsteps were firmer and steadier. He gave off a vague feeling that he could make mountains shake with each step, and his momentum was shocking.

While Ralston moved with Dragon and Elephant’s Momentum, he activated Dragon and Elephant’s Aura.

However, the attacks from the strongest player in the Chinese server was not something Jade Faced Eagle King could hope to compare to, regardless of whether it was his speed, frequency of his attacks, and the power in it.

He executed more than a dozen sword slashes, and even though they faced resistance and were weakened because of Dragon and Elephant Momentum, each sword slash could make a deep dent into Dragon and Elephant Aura.

‘He’s good!’

Ralston’s expression instantly turned solemn. He no longer dared to treat this battle lightly, and he gradually showed his full strength.

His expression also became grave.

But Happy, too, was also shocked!

This challenger’s strength had already exceeded his expectations. Even though he did not give him the pressure One Emperor had when Happy faced him, that was perhaps because it was clear that this person was not the type who was used to attacking. After a few rounds of Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style, he actually did not manage to injure this challenger. He did not even manage to invade the aura, much less his body fortification.

‘Since when did Dragon and Elephant Wisdom Palm become so powerful?!’

Happy was puzzled. While he attacked, he also observed his surroundings, and he saw that Shi Feixuan had already begun fighting against Wan Wan and the Twin Female and Male Demons.
