Chapter 144: Beautiful Robes Faction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of Netherworld, Happy’s originally cheery mood went bad. When another monk who had broken his Buddhist vows resp.a.w.ned near the area, he threw his throwing knife at him and lured him to the cliff to fight against him!

However, the constant defensiveness and being unable to take the initiative in the fight not only did not manage to get rid of the displeasure in Happy’s heart and the anger that stirred in him when he remembered the past, he even became even more dejected. He constantly felt that there was a ball of fire running on a rampage in him as it burned fiercely.

His gaze focused, and he formed his left hand into a claw. He then executed Dragon Capture brazenly.

Ten True Dragon Styles caused his true qi to move in reverse. The strong suction force that was equivalent to the force of a whirlpool that erupted from Dragon Capture before it was fully executed caused the monk who had broken his Buddhist vows to be unable to fight back. With a scream of surprise, his weapon was captured, and he also temporarily lost his balance because of the power that surged into his body through his weapon. For an instant, he was unable to fight back.

The moment Happy succeeded and sensed the monk losing balance, he had an idea. He began to reorganize and manage his qi. He scowled and boldly gave up on his Hundred-battle Saber to execute Dragon Capture with his right hand as well!

The power of a whirlpool surged out of his right palm, and he swiftly caught the monk who had been sent flying to him because of inertia.

“Ah!”

When the monk was captured by Happy, the power in his body melted away like snow in spring. It was dismantled until there was nothing left, and shock appeared on the monk’s face! Happy then dragged him like a puppet to the edge of the cliff.

At that moment, Happy was finally able to temporarily cast aside the negative emotions that had arisen because of Netherworld’s appearance. He focused his attention on the monk’s actions. While sensing the situation in the monk’s body, he continued to use Dragon Capture from Ten True Dragon Styles to forcefully control the monk.

Left hand, right hand, left hand!

His Dragon Capture changed continuously, and he executed it nonstop.

The monk was dragged to the side like a puppet because of Happy’s movements. Then, he was suddenly dragged back by a huge force.

There was no longer the arrogance of a Mystical Realm eminent monk on his face. Even though Happy didn’t deal any damage to him, he was incredibly skilled in executing the crafty skill. He could control the monk’s main meridian systems and important acupressure points, making it impossible for the monk to gather up his qi and break free.

This continued for a long time. The monk tossed back and forth at the edge of the cliff, and when the mountain wind blew at him, he felt a cold chill crawl down his back as cold sweat broke out on his skin. No matter how strong he was, he was still unable to not feel any fear!

“So that’s the case.”

After repeatedly executing Dragon Capture, Happy gained a deep understanding toward the first style of Ten True Dragon Styles.

‘That’s right. The powerful force equivalent to that of a whirlpool that will appear when Dragon Capture is executed and the profound movement trajectory of this skill can easily allow me to control every single part of a person’s body for an instant!’

Happy could instantly control anyone he wanted. While it made it a strong move, Dragon Capture itself did not contain any lethal force!

It also used up a lot of qi. With Happy’s current amount, which was only around one hundred, he could only it twelve times. And if his qi fell below eighty points, he would not be able to activate Blessed Realm.

However, this would not affect his ability to use Dragon Capture. This meant that the execution of Dragon Capture was not related to his qi realm. Even if it fell, there would be no changes. However, it would also not be able to affect enemies with higher qi realms just because his qi realm increased either.

In other words, Dragon Capture was exactly the way it was described. It could not level up, and it was only effective against enemies in Mystical Realm and below!

Once Happy got the details of the skill down, he decisively attacked with his palm and sent the monk flying. He quickly turned around and picked up his Hundred-battle Saber from the ground, then hastily stuffed a medicinal tablet into his mouth. The consecutive use of Dragon Capture had made his qi fall to the ground. If he did not replenish his qi, he might not be able to even use his Flowering Knights’ Song.

Ding!

The clear sound of a system notification suddenly reached his ears.

Happy wanted to ignore it, but when he saw the monk flee into the distance in a pathetic manner, he was taken aback and forgot to even stop him. He could only watch as the monk disappeared into the wind.

Happy frowned, then opened the system notification log and read the message.

[Faction Master Phoenix Dances in Beautiful Robes from Beautiful Robes Faction sent you a request to join Beautiful Robes Faction.]

Happy was caught off guard for a moment.

‘Oh, it’s a piece of news from that side, huh?’

A relieved expression appeared on his face. He thought about it and did not agree to the request immediately, but he did not reject it either. He only placed it by the side in his system notification log.

As of then, there were still some matters that he had left unfinished. He did not wish for the newly established Beautiful Robes Faction to be dragged into the mix.

He looked at the time. There was only an hour left before noon.

As long as he got through it, the items in the brocade box would belong to him. Happy naturally did not wish for any accidents to happen during the last hour.

At that moment, he lost the mood to continue bothering the monks who had broken their Buddhist vows. He sat down cross-legged at the edge of the cliff and executed Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique to restore the qi he spent while the mountain wind blew at him.

When he returned to the peak of his condition, Happy stood up.

At that moment, dozens of figures had appeared at the cliff across him, which was slightly lower than the cliff at Punishment Mount.

Happy pushed qi to his eyes and looked around, only to discover that the player called Netherworld from Cla.s.s One Hall was not in the group. It was unknown where he had gone to.

“Have they given up?”

Happy was a little disappointed.

He originally thought that his actions would have at least attracted some attention and curiosity from the internal members in Cla.s.s One Hall, thereby pus.h.i.+ng forward the time when that person would approach him.

No one knew just how badly Happy wanted to learn about that person’s heart!

Clang!

The clear sounds of iron chains dragged Happy away from his memories. He focused his attention and found that the people across the chasm seemed to know that there was a brocade box in Punishment Mount. They sensed how pressing was the time for them, and after a brief negotiation, someone volunteered to jump on the Iron Chain Bridge, causing the iron chains, which were never calm, to sway even more.

Happy said nothing. He watched with a calm expression as the person swayed along the iron chains. His movements were careful, but his progress slowed down the further along the chains he went. Happy smiled coldly and shook his head. He already knew how that person would end.

He was already far away from the cliff, and he had become even more cautious. Because of it, it would become even more difficult for him to control his body. Once the mountain gusts blew at him, he would find it hard to both advance and retreat.

If he could not even overcome this difficulty, how was he supposed to clear the area with the fog?

Just as Happy expected, the person who was the first to walk onto the chains soon felt the might of the mountain wind between the two mountains. The amplitude of the swaying of the iron chains suddenly increased, and his body was instantly flung off the chains.

That person still tried to hug the iron chain to preserve his life, but the other chain crashed into him from behind and knocked him down.

“Ah!”

The shrill and terrified scream soon became weaker as the black dot that was the person became smaller. It fell to the bottom of the abyss.

One person might have died, but it did not dampen the desire of the players on the cliff for the brocade box. After some commotion, a few people landed on Iron Chain Bridge.

They wanted to use the same method Netherworld had used.

Even though they did not look good while doing so, it was much easier for them to climb while hugging an iron chain. They could do so pretty quickly as well!

Soon, the dozens of players who wanted to seize Happy’s brocade box cleared the area with the white fog!

The person in the lead looked up to see Happy sitting in a meditative position at the cliff, right where the iron chains come to an end. He used an extremely compa.s.sionate gaze that brought alarm and fear into their hearts to stare at them from above…
