Chapter 239: Will Not Stop Until One Side is Dead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Proud over All Life had already engaged Happy once, and he knew Happy’s strength best out of all the other Five Venoms sect members around him. He knew that normal venomous insects would have a hard time damaging and going through a high-tier body fortification technique, which was why he had been gathering all the best players in Five Venoms behind him in secret since the beginning. When he saw that Happy was about to rush out of the formation of venomous insects, his group of elites quickly released an aura that did not lose to Happy’s!

Boom!

Gate Realm, Blessed Realm, Mystical Realm!

Their aura surged about and instantly rose to an astonishing level! Countless saber glares rushed before Happy to surround and viciously attack the powerful Golden Bell Cocoon.

But unfortunately for them, if they had done this during the attack in Fox Cave when Happy’s Golden Bell Cocoon was still at the seventh realm, it would have indeed been very difficult for him to withstand so many high-tier martial arts whose users were at Mystical Realm. However, once he got out of Fox Cave, he had never stopped training Golden Bell Cocoon.

Once he left the peach blossom forest and entered White Tiger Forest, even if he had been focusing on practicing Seven Stars Sword and Phantasm Body Movement Skill for more than half a month, his Golden Bell Cocoon had still improved slowly and reached the tenth realm. Even if he did not activate his qi realm, its defense reached an astonishing nine hundred or so points! It could also decrease 30% head on damage! There was even a certain percentage that it could help dodge attacks.

With Yellow Dragon Set, even Blessed Realm high-tier martial arts at Grandmaster Realm would find it difficult to damage Golden Bell Cocoon. Once Happy activated his qi realm, his defenses would be strengthened by 30%, which meant that he could basically ignore the damage from the elites of Five Venoms.

When the elites from Five Venoms executed their skills on Happy, they quickly noticed that something was wrong!

But it was too late.

Boom!

A violent force that did not lose out to the power of them striking the Golden Bell Cocoon at full strength rebounded at them! Their bodies trembled, their purlicues were torn, and their weapons fell from their hands. They grunted, coughed up blood, and were sent flying away from Five Venoms’ stairs.

This scene was completely against Five Venoms’ expectations. Even the various Mystical Realm players who had rushed to witness the battle were dumbfounded by the sight. They did not dare to believe their own eyes!

Even though the defense of high-tier body fortifications was incredibly strong, it was impossible to force back and injure players of the same qi realm by just using the force of the rebound.

However, it had truly happened.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort that sent chills down everyone’s bones reached their ears. Proud over All Life’s face instantly turned from red to bloodless. Happy’s figure swiftly grew larger in his pupils!

Proud over All Life might have been a very powerful player, but during their first exchange of blows, he had been defeated in just one blow, and Happy had even sent him sprawling on the ground. It left a traumatic shadow that he could not get rid of in his heart. Besides, he had also witnessed Happy’s powerful and unblockable attack just then, so even when he saw that Happy had come in front of him, he still hesitated for a moment.

When powerful players exchanged blows, being absent-minded for even an instant could result in death!

Once his movements slowed down, Proud over All Life knew that he was finished. His heart filled with despair, and he closed his eyes in preparation for death.

However, even after a few seconds passed, the pain of death did not arrive. Instead, all sorts of pained and surprised screams as well as enraged shouts erupted behind him. Familiar voices rose and fell. The sounds of weapons clashing was heard, and the noise was so chaotic that it was ridiculous.

When Proud over All Life opened his eyes to look, he was first shocked, then he felt his cheeks burn! He clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble!

Happy had not attacked him. Instead, he moved past him and rushed into the crowd above Five Venoms’ stairs to slaughter them. The bizarre looking but slightly familiar Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword took away a life every single time Happy attacked. The body fortification techniques of Five Venoms’ sect members did not seem to be able to stop the brilliance of that sword.

But that was to be expected!

The damage of Seven Stars Sword at the tenth realm was more than two thousand three hundred points. It was four times higher than Shadowless Stormy Kick, and it was one time higher than Flowering Knights’ Song at Grandmaster Realm. Low-tier body fortification techniques were simply not enough to fend against Seven Stars Sword. With one slash, they shattered, and the blade cut into leather armor and then people’s bodies.

Happy did all that with great ease

‘It’s a pity that I still need some time to reach Grandmaster Realm, or else I wouldn’t be taking so much time to kill Five Venoms.’

Happy activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill and moved about in the crowd in a methodical fashion. Wherever his eyes fixed themselves on a target, he would swiftly execute a sword technique, and his sword would see blood. As he drifted about elegantly, the last Five Venoms hall chief with a high-tier body fortification technique was sent flying in a very embarrassing manner. He crashed into the headquarters like a kite.

All the players on the stairs were either dead or injured! Most of them did not even have the chance to get close to Happy because a companion of theirs had come crashing into them like a cannonball and forced them to cough up blood. They stood far away in aggrievance and did not dare to walk forward to die. The sturdiness of Golden Bell Cocoon was not something they could get through. If they went up, they would just die.

Happy smiled. He turned his head around and looked over the empty grounds around the headquarters. There was no longer anyone paying attention to the venomous insects that filled the air, and the Five Venoms sect members retrieved their insects in a flurry of motion.

Even fools would be able to tell that Happy did not care about them, since he had that strange lightness skill and powerful body fortification technique.

“Hmph!”

Happy looked up and cast a glance at Five Venoms’ plate, which was above his head.

He bent his knees slightly and gently took off Five Venoms’ plate from the entrance.

Thud!

It fell on the ground vertically.

When Proud over All Life turned his head around and saw that, he was instantly alarmed!

“Stop!”

Slap!

Happy attacked resolutely and struck Five Venoms’ plate mercilessly with a palm. It shattered in numerous pieces. The clear sound of the plate shattering crushed the final straw within the hearts of the Five Venoms sect members.

Happy’s resolution made it clear that his attitude right then was different from before. Last time, regardless of which sect it was and if they had offended Happy or not, they had never been persecuted by him to this degree.

“Whew... He’s really not stopping until one of them is dead.”

Lin Xiao, Red Dust, and the others from Chivalry Sect had heard of the news and rushed over to join the crowd. They had originally been worried that Happy would be in danger, which was why they had rushed over in hopes to help him during a critical moment. But judging by what they saw, there was no need for them to be worried about Happy at all. However, his attitude toward Five Venoms made the two of them suck in a sharp breath. They had noticed that there was something unusual about it.

When a player reached a point when they would not stop attacking a sect until one of them perished, there could only be two conclusions drawn for the matter.

Either Happy would be killed by Five Venoms so that they could wash away the humiliation they suffered from the destruction of their plate, or Happy would destroy Five Venoms’ foundation and completely get rid of Five Venoms from World of Martial Arts!

Proud over All Life had showed his determination to kill Happy previously.

Right then, Happy did the same.

Since Happy shattered Five Venoms’ plate, it was clear that he wanted to fulfill the wild promise he had made earlier!

Countless players craned their necks to look inside the Five Venoms’ headquarters. They watched Happy ignore Proud over All Life and stride into the building, which made them even firmer in their assumption.

Happy wanted to enter Five Venoms’ headquarters while all their elites had died and destroy Five Venoms’ foundation.

Many Mystical Realm players rushed to Five Venoms’ entrance from all over the place or occupied the spots on the walls once the archers left to watch the battle.

After all, no matter what, Five Venoms was a sect that was rather strong and had recently risen to power.

Would a sect like this truly be destroyed by Happy alone? If that was the case, would Proud over All Life, Five Venoms’ sect master, truly disappear from World of Martial Arts, just like he said?

The spirit of gossip within the players in Wuhu was lit. They occupied high spots to witness the fight without care for anything else. Those who did not know might think that Five Venoms had incited public wrath and drew countless players to surround them and attack them.

Among the crowd were Situ Luoyu and two other men with extraordinary presences. They stood together quietly and stared at the scene at Five Venoms’ entrance, which was blocked to the point that not a single drop of water could pass. Their gazes were dark.
