Chapter 444: Outwit Both Men

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bang!

Countless martial artists cried out in surprise, and a head with a face filled with disbelief and indignation flew up from Blood Robes’ shoulders before landing in the dust.

Happy put his sword back into its sheath and stared at Blood Robes’ corpse. The empty part in his heart seemed to have been suddenly filled with an inexplicable warmth. He sucked in a deep breath, and his complicated emotions calmed down.

“Vice hall master!”

“Take revenge for vice hall master!”

A few worked up shouts rose from among the Cla.s.s One Hall members!

Before those people could attack, however, they found themselves pinned down by a cold glare from Happy. They gulped and did not move.

Happy cast a glance at Blood Robes’ corpse, then fixed his sheath by his belt.

The Cla.s.s One Hall members split up numbly, forming a path to send Happy away. They watched him take a Universe Bag from Blood Robes’ body and put it into his own Universe Bag without even looking at the items inside. Then, he walked to Lin Xiao. No one took the initiative to attack him, since the strength Happy displayed was no longer as simple as that of normal intimidation!

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows clearly did not expect that Blood Robes would die so quickly. Lin Xiao might have ended up covered in blood, but he relied on his extraordinary abilities to not lose even when surrounded by Cla.s.s One Hall elites.

When Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows saw Happy move over, they panicked. Their hearts also grew tense when they heard it being mentioned that Blood Robes was dead.

Their plan to kill the three leaders of Chivalry Sect was probably no longer possible!

When they thought of this, they suddenly heard cries of surprise along with a few familiar warning shouts.

“He’s here!”

“Happy’s coming!”

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows looked at each other, and without another word, they prepared to withdraw and escape. “Run!”

At that moment, Lin Xiao’s enraged laughter reached their ears.

“Haha! You’re thinking about leaving now?! You’ve been accompanying me for so long, and you don’t plan to discuss your departure with me? Aren’t you dishonest people? It would be rude of me to not reciprocate what you did to me! Why don’t you die here?!”

More than one hundred elites from Chivalry Sect had died in the battle, but Cla.s.s One Hall had only sacrificed a dozen people and Blood Robes. It might be enough for Lin Xiao to vent his anger, but when he thought about how Red Dust’s survival was still unknown, he made his decision to have those two rather powerful players from Cla.s.s One Hall pay the price for having engaged him in a fight.

“Die!”

Lin Xiao keenly seized the moment the duo decided to retreat. He changed the momentum of his sword and switched from a defensive stance to an offensive one. He parried and pushed away the Cla.s.s One Hall members around him with one slash to chase after Evil Wolf, who was prepared to retreat. Then, he sent a slash straight at him.

The black sword glare caught up to Evil Wolf’s back.

Once Evil Wolf was. .h.i.t, his true qi was thrown into chaos, and his speed fell drastically.

“You’re asking for death!” Full of anger, Evil Wolf turned around and delivered a slash at Lin Xiao.

But much to his surprise, right when a sharp sword glare pierced Lin Xiao’s shoulder, a breathtaking and matchless sword force descended from the sky. His body trembled, and the sword force pierced his chest.

Lin Xiao and Evil Wolf fell to the ground at the same time.

However, Lin Xiao only had the shoulder of his sword arm pierced, and he could still stand on his feet somewhat. Evil Wolf fell into the crowd like a kite whose string was cut. He was no longer alive.

“Die!”

Monk with Thick Eyebrows originally wanted to provide cover for Evil Wolf, but when he saw that Lin Xiao was injured badly, he gritted his teeth and decided to kill him at the price of his own life.

Even though he did not actually want to do something like that, when he thought about how Red Dust was probably dead, such an action seemed like the best one. If he managed to kill Lin Xiao with his and Evil Wolf’s lives, Chivalry Sect would only have Wind Void left, and it would be difficult for her to do anything alone! It would be worth it!

Monk with Thick Eyebrows flung his wide robe in the air.

Waves of the sound of his sleeves fluttering were accompanied by a fierce and strong vortex. With an astonis.h.i.+ng presence, he sent it toward Lin Xiao, who was held down by the Cla.s.s One Hall elites.

Happy could tell just what Monk with Thick Eyebrows was thinking about.

“You’re asking for death!”

He gritted his teeth and did not slow down.

He threw two Soaring Eagle Swords!

“Haha!”

Lin Xiao laughed madly and stopped pretending to look injured and slow.

“Perfect timing!” he shouted in response to Happy’s attack.

His voice was full of life, and an astonis.h.i.+ng sword momentum rose into the sky!

The violent sword momentum was not that much weaker than Happy’s. Not only did his qi realm shoot up to its peak, his movements were also agile and strong. There was not even a sign of a person who had been heavily injured a moment ago.

“This is bad!”

They eyelids of Monk with Thick Eyebrows twitched. He cursed himself for falling into a trap, but he was already enveloped by Lin Xiao’s sword momentum and could not free himself. He could only brace himself and activate Demon Subduing Great Art to receive Lin Xiao’s attack head-on.

Boom!

When the two elites who practiced strong and fierce techniques faced off, the atmosphere itself seemed to push back. All the air was sucked away, and then an astonis.h.i.+ng power exploded forth.

Lin Xiao stood up happily without a loud sound.

A huge pit with cracks around it had formed under him when he sank down, and shattered stones flew everywhere!

Monk with Thick Eyebrows coughed up some fine object while he was airborne and fell with his face turned to the sky. When he landed in the crowd, he did not manage to get up even after a long time had pa.s.sed.

Lin Xiao put away his sword and stood up straight. The gloom in his heart was completely gone, and he spat viciously.

“This Small Reversion Pill is seriously powerful. Those two brats thought that I was still in Mystical Realm and that I didn’t dare to use any major techniques? I could kill you with a rebound when you came at me head on…”

Lin Xiao’s Arm Strength had always been much greater than that of a normal person. His strong and fierce qi as well as his qi cultivation technique made him skilled in head-on a.s.saults. The sword techniques he chose also focused mainly on strength, so when these things complemented each other, he was matchless in terms of might!

Monk with Thick Eyebrows had chosen to fight against him head-on because he had been greedy for achievements. It left him full of openings, and there was no way that Lin Xiao would go easy on him. He attacked with an ultimate skill straight away!

*****

Even though the battle on that side had ended, Zhou Yu had still not managed to kill Wind Voice.

She could only dodge and parry his attacks while her Mandarin Duck Sabers were oppressed by his spear techniques, but if Zhou Yu wanted to kill the master of Chivalry Sect, who was ranked third on the Phoenix Rank, within a short period of time all by himself, it would be clear that he was a little too arrogant.

Besides, the situation of the fight with Happy and Lin Xiao exceeded his expectations.

When he noticed two powerful presences swiftly closing in on him, he sighed, and the dragon-shaped qi instantly went back inside his body. He pulled back his spear and stood still to let Wind Void retreat behind Happy and Lin Xiao so that she could recover.

Whoos.h.!.+

All-powerful Medicinal Stone also landed near the trio to take up the responsibility of providing them with protection.

“Big Brother Lin, Big Brother Medicine, take care of Sect Master Void.”

Happy looked around at the Cla.s.s One Hall members who did not dare approach before his gaze finally landed on Zhou Yu.

“Let me handle this person.”

Wind Void nodded. “As expected of the person placed second on the Dragon Rank. His qi is much greater than mine. Be careful. Try not to go up against him head-on. The damage of his weapon is not any less than that of your fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword.”

“Got it.” Happy nodded quietly.

The base attack of spears and axes was much higher than that of sabers and swords. A spear or axe at the third echelon was already on par with the damage of a saber or sword at the fourth-echelon.

This meant that Wind Void was already at a disadvantage in terms of her weapon, and when she faced Zhou Yu, who was a powerful player with skill, it was only natural that she could not turn the tables and claim victory.

Besides, Zhou Yu was a person who chased after One Emperor’s footsteps. Happy did not underestimate him and put on his Golden Armor Set.

Zhou Yu quietly ate a few medicinal pills to recover his qi and narrowed his eyes so much that they turned into slits. The solemn expression that appeared on his face at that moment was one he’d never had before.

Once Happy was fully equipped, Zhou Yu closed his eyes slowly. Under countless martial artists’ stunned and puzzled gazes, he retracted his qi and held his silver spear with a loose grip while its tip dragged against the ground.

When Happy saw Zhou Yu in that stance, his expression changed slightly!
