Chapter 698: One Person Doing the Work of Two

Xu Zhiling’s appearance got rid of the doubt in the hearts of those from the evil cult, but they were wary of s.h.i.+ Qingxuan on the pleasure boat, which was why they stopped on the river. They did not get on the boat, but they did not leave either. They just stayed to monitor the situation.

But the pleasure boats the players boarded were clearly rus.h.i.+ng over recklessly. They intended to take a look at the pleasure boat. In fact, they treated the pleasure boat as a rare harvesting ground for quests.

But before they could get closer, Xu Zhiling returned to the front hall, and another person walked out.

He was dressed in a faint blue long robe and had a hero’s bandana around his head that fluttered with the wind. His gaze was slightly cold. At the moment he appeared on the deck, the pleasure boat that was the closest suddenly swayed a few times in succession and sank abruptly.

“This is bad! Water is coming in!”

“We have a leak! Turn back!”

The boatman was the first to react. He was so shocked that he cried nonstop and quickly gave the order to turn back.

The martial artists on the pleasure boat became irritated.

“Don’t turn around!”

“Forget it! We can just fly over. It’s not far away anyway.”

Even though they saw that there was someone on the deck, they could not recognize the person because of the dark. They thought that it was Xu Zhiling standing over there.

The players tapped against the boat and rose into the air one after another! They then tapped against the air repeatedly and used all sorts of divine abilities to jump to the large pleasure boat.

The players that chased after the first group of people were anxious. A few of them also relied on the fact that they had good body movements to jump over ahead of the others.

For a period of time, there were more than one hundred people executing lightness skills on the river, and it was an incredibly grand sight under the moonlight! The sounds of air being pushed away and people stepping on waves rose, and it added to the tense atmosphere that could only be found in the murderous world of martial artists on a silent night.

“Hmph!”

A grave and cold snort came from the large pleasure boat. It was like a m.u.f.fled clap of thunder. It stunned the people on the river. They were already using up a lot of qi, and the new burden was too great on their bodies. They suddenly felt as if they had sunk into a swamp and could no longer move.

Sky Demon Voice!

A few players could not recover their qi and fell into the river. They were followed by a good number of others, and the splash of water could be heard repeatedly.

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

Those sounds did not stop at all.

The tense atmosphere of the murderous world was instantly destroyed, and became ridiculous instead. It was as if a group of people had jumped into the water, and it was even a group who did not know how to swim.

“Ack!”

Water entered the mouths of many people the moment they fell into water, and they cried out in panic.

But before they could do anything about it, they heard the continuous sounds of bowstrings trembling above them.

The astonis.h.i.+ng sound of arrows tearing through air rose by their ears, and it was soon joined by pained screams. A lot of blood spread across the river, because there was just no way anyone could act in time to activate their body fortifications. They did not work normally in their situation.

All those who landed in the river found themselves in danger. They did their best to dive deeper or jump out of the water to run into the distance. They were all afraid that they would become the next unfortunate soul.

The players on the pleasure boats were all terrified when they saw that!

As they drew closer, many people could see the face of the person in the light blue robes along with the Golden Gloves on his hands.

“If you don’t want to leave, then don’t. Let’s make this place a little livelier.”

Happy laughed coldly and jumped off the deck like a big bird to meet the players who shot out of the water to jump toward the pleasure boats.

Bang! Bang!

A solid crash was heard. A few men who had already activated their body fortifications shouted in pain. They felt as if they had hit the head of a train, and they curled up into b.a.l.l.s while they were sent flying back violently.

Whoos.h.!.+

Astonis.h.i.+ng splashes came from the river. Once those people fell into the water, they did not show up again even after a long time had pa.s.sed.

Happy turned around and stepped on the heads of the martial artists on the river before he landed lightly on his boat. He stood tall, and his gaze land on the pleasure boat across from him.

“If you leave now, you can still make it in time.”

His nonchalant voice traveled across the river and to the pleasure boats across from him light a gentle breeze.

More than one hundred people were still waddling in the river, but when they saw Happy and the two dragon-shaped vortices, no one did anything extreme anymore.

“Shut! Up!

“Why should we leave?! Just because you’re slightly better, you think you’re above us all?! Do you think that you can kill as you please just because you’re good?!”

Someone among the crowd on the deck in the pleasure boat across from Happy began making a ruckus.

“I don’t want to argue with you. We’re in the world of martial artists, and there are many things that are out of our control. Since we’re all in this mess, then we’ll have to rely on our fists to talk. If you have any opinions, you can come and fight me!”

Happy stared at that pleasure boat in the distance without flying into a rage. “If you don’t have the skills to do so, you can use your head and stir up the people beside you to fight against me. If you succeed, that’ll also mean that you’re good.”

Happy could tell with just one glance that the speaker did not want to reveal his status, but he hoped to use his words to make everyone displeased with the situation and stir up public indignation.

But Happy’s words extinguished the bit of anger in the people’s hearts.

However, that person remained ignorant of the situation.

“What do you mean by there are many things that are out of our control since we’re in the world of martial artists? All you want to do is monopolize Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse for Mu Clan, just like what you did with Sky Demon Secret Cave, but you make yourself sound so respectable and upright!”

The speaker did not notice that the people in front of him had begun moving away quickly, and the crowd around him had become spa.r.s.e.

Happy narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly saw the speaker’s face clearly.

He chuckled coldly in his heart.

‘What a diabolical woman. I don’t care whether she came to the Chinese world of martial artists to carry out her quest or to gain some benefits from the Chinese martial arts elites, but I didn’t expect this Goryeon woman to have such a great understanding of the situation in the Chinese world of martial artists. And she even has the guts to try and scheme against me.

‘If she succeeded in provoking the martial artists to attack me, this place would be drenched in blood, and her group would go underwater to loot.

‘My death would make Snow Spirit even more haughty and ensure that she would look down on the entire Chinese world of martial artists.’

“I didn’t expect a Goryeon like you to have such a clear understanding of the situation in the Chinese world of martial artists.”

Happy’s words made the river suddenly fall silent.

“Is that woman called Snow Spirit also on the boat?”

The Goryeon man tensed. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but did not say anything. Clearly, he was completely unprepared for the fact that Happy may suddenly expose him. He was lost for words, and his face turned pale.

The people beside him were originally a little baffled, but when they saw the Goryeon man’s reaction, an inexplicable rage instantly burned in their hearts.

‘What are the intentions of this Goryeon for fanning the flames here?’

The people on the pleasure boat spread out either intentionally or unintentionally and surrounded the Goryeon man.

He said nothing, but his face turned even paler.

The string of unforeseen accidents took him completely off guard.

When he remembered just how great was Happy’s influence and strength in the Chinese world of martial artists, he knew that he was in big trouble.

The slightest careless mistake would not only make them unable to complete their quest, but they might also die!

A warning drifted out of the large pleasure boat. It was spoken in a slow and deep voice.

“Tell that Snow Spirit that I will give you one day to reach the sea and leave the Chinese server, or else, you will have to bear the consequences.”
