Chapter 505: You’re Far More Inferior Compared to One Emperor!

“Happy.”

When Zhou Yu saw that the atmosphere inside the pavilion had become incredibly grave, that hostility was rising, and that they looked as if they were about to fight at any moment, he suddenly stood up outside the pavilion while swaying.

“I heard from One Emperor that you have a promise with him about half a year later.”

Zhou Yu’s swaying motions managed to quell the tense atmosphere inside the pavilion slightly.

One Emperor!

This name shocked both sides slightly, and the expressions of a few people changed at the same time.

Happy quickly recovered, and his voice returned to being calm. “It’s a promise we made at Spirit Snake Island. At that time, he said that you couldn’t withstand three slashes from him. Why did you mention him? Did One Emperor agree to join Cla.s.s One Hall?”

Right after he finished speaking, Zhou Yu laughed loudly in a self-deprecating manner.

“If One Emperor really had the intention to join Cla.s.s One Hall, would you have been able to leave Beijing alive?” Once he finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed. “One Emperor is the strongest in World of Martial Arts. His sword technique is peerless. On that day, he defeated me with just three slashes. His first slash destroyed my body fortification, his second slash cut my thigh, and his third slash was pointed at this part.”

Everyone saw Zhou Yu tap the center of his forehead, and they felt chills crawl down their spines.

Even though Zhou Yu spoke very briefly, they seemed to be able to sense the sword glare that swept through everything like they were twigs and was so sharp that no one could block it!

Happy, too, did not expect that Zhou Yu had lost like that. It seemed like it was even more straightforward than he thought.

His gaze focused.

When Zhou Yu saw the slight change in Happy’s expression, he could not help but show a barely noticeable anguished look.

“Before, I was conceited and arrogant enough to think about being the top on Dragon Rank, but in the end, I noticed that having peerless qi was a mere illusion. And what is truly important is not how many people you have by your side.” When Dream Clouds heard that, her expression changed slightly, but Zhou Yu continued speaking without stopping. “And it doesn’t matter how high your qi is or how many ultimate techniques you know. The key to being the strongest lies in whether you know how to use your attacks, and whether you are resolute and fierce enough with them!”

Happy quirked his eyebrows.

‘Seems like Zhou Yu has gained a lot from that fight.’

“You should know by now that strictly speaking, I did not even manage to withstand even one slash from One Emperor, and three slashes is the number at which I die. I know that if One Emperor hadn’t decided to observe my true strength because I was also at Life and Death Realm at that time, I wouldn’t even have the time to stall and make him attack more times. I would have died with at most two attacks.”

When Zhou Yu said that, he suddenly stared into Happy’s eyes, and his att.i.tude changed. “Tell me honestly. Do you believe that you can defeat me if you fight against me? If I can’t withstand even three slashes from One Emperor, how many slashes do you think you can take?” His tone was aggressive.

At that moment, Happy, Dream Clouds, and the others understood what was going on. Zhou Yu was venting. He was venting his indignation and decadence to his rival, who he regarded as his equal, but at the same time, he was mocking Happy.

Zhou Yu believed himself to be of equal strength with Happy, but One Emperor had given Happy half a year to prepare before they fought. As for Zhou Yu, he had suddenly attacked and killed him with three moves. The treatment they received was completely different.

Zhou Yu could not accept this, and he could not understand it.

Once Happy came to realize Zhou Yu’s state of mind, he suddenly felt a little pity toward him.

In truth, Zhou Yu was definitely among the top ten strongest in the Sword Among Us tournament in Happy’s previous life. In fact, he was even an existence who surpa.s.sed the Three Kings, but when he was at his most glorious moment and full of enthusiasm, he met One Emperor, a supremely powerful person who came to understand sword will and wished to verify his own strength!

After a brief period of pity, Happy naturally sensed how unwilling Zhou Yu was to accept that One Emperor had treated them differently and how much he felt that it was unfair.

Happy sighed in his heart, then faced Zhou Yu.

“I haven’t fought against One Emperor before, so I don’t know what will come out of the final battle, but I can let you understand the difference between us.” He paused for a moment before he swept his gaze over Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, and Tang Feng. “I don’t mind if all four of you want to attack together.”

“Since—”

When Tang Feng heard Happy’s conceited request, a thought appeared in his head, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yu interrupted him with a cold snort and a growl. “Hmph! Stop being so conceited! I’ll fight against you alone.”

“Brother Zhou!”

Blood Robes originally wanted to have Tang Feng be a sc.u.m and suggest fighting together while he himself went along with the flow and agreed to it. Then, Dream Clouds would suppress Happy with her Divine Flames Art from both close and long distance while he interfered with the fight using his Star Sucking Great Skill.

Tang Feng would throw hidden weapons at Happy while Zhou Yu fought head-on against him. Like that, they would practically have the fight in the bag!

However, Blood Robes did not expect that Zhou Yu would complicate things and throw a wrench into his plans.

“I might not be able to win against you, but I will prove that you are a rival who is at the same level as me, and that you are still far inferior to One Emperor,” Zhou Yu said with a very resolute tone.

Dream Clouds and Blood Robes instantly found themselves speechless.

If they tried to persuade Zhou Yu to work together with them, not only would it seal the fact that Zhou Yu was beneath Happy, there was even a possibility that they would end up forcing Zhou Yu to leave Cla.s.s One Hall.

At that moment, Dream Clouds would not do something so irrational.

Since Zhou Yu was confident, there was no problem in them letting him fight. After all, the injured state brought by One Emperor had already been dispelled with Illusion Life and Death Pill.

The three people retreated 164 feet away from the pavilion, according to Zhou Yu’s request.

Only Zhou Yu and Happy were left in the pavilion!

One of them had a dejected and decadent look that he previously had lost. His gaze was cold, and his silver spear struck sparks in the air. When it landed on the ground with great momentum, the ground shuddered slightly.

Zhou Yu had the Life and Death Realm’s Yang Clan’s Spear Technique, and when it was in his hands, it possessed an extraordinary might. Zhou Yu had also become much stronger than a month ago when they had met in the battle at Eternal Peace Temple.

However, Happy was still confident!

Zhou Yu might have improved, but Happy had also improved greatly. He could now fight toe-to-toe against an Inaction Realm elite, much less one Zhou Yu.

But Happy was still mulling over what Zhou Yu had said.

“What is truly important is not how many people you have on your side, how high your qi is, or how many ultimate techniques you know—the key to being the strongest lies in whether you know how to use your attacks, and whether you are resolute and fierce enough with them!”

Those words struck a chord in Happy’s heart.

He did not have any ultimate techniques in his previous life, just normal high-tier martial arts, but they had helped him win against many “aces” who had ultimate techniques with them!

He did not have any divine weapons in his previous life, but he could accurately behead his enemies time and again.

When Happy thought of this, he suddenly remembered Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and Ten True Dragon Styles. Perhaps many people never truly understood the ingenious ways of ultimate techniques and never bothered trying to comprehend them, which was why they could not bring out their true might.

While Happy thought about that, Zhou Yu made his move!

Clang, clang, clang, clang…

His silver spear dragged across the ground and sparks flew! A deep trench was formed where Zhou Yu’s spear pa.s.sed! His momentum began building at a frenzied pace, and as he swiftly approached Happy, a faint but threatening feeling began to quickly build up.

Zhou Yu’s aura swelled up at a very fast pace too!

It was rather similar to Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm’s profound secret, but the difference was that Yang Clan’s Spear Technique could only acc.u.mulate its strength for one attack, while Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could continuously acc.u.mulate and build up its strength.

Happy’s gaze turned cold. He went up against the incoming attack as if he had understood something.
