[Why haven’t we withdrawn our men yet?]

Dream Clouds received the messenger pigeon from Langye while she was in Class One Hall’s prison. When she learned that her people were still lined up near the city gate to intercept Happy and had already started fighting, her long and narrow eyes immediately lit up with a rarely seen awe-inspiring and angry look. Her silver veil began to shake.

The other side sent over a reply very quickly. [Vice Hall Master Barren spontaneously took up command and chose to attack. His reason is that Zhou Zhiruo is injured, and there are four Inaction Realm martial artists behind them.

[Vice Hall Master Barren believes that there is a very good chance that they will be able to kill Happy, but his strength is very terrifying. Some of our own who are famous for their body fortifications were killed with just one palm strike. We believe that he took Origin Leopard Pill!]

[Mu Clan’s abilities in pill refinement are not inferior to our hall’s. It’s not surprising for Happy to use Origin Leopard Pill. You say that Happy killed Matchless and Thousand Army with one palm strike?]

When Dream Clouds sent her messenger pigeon out, the other party only replied after a long while had passed. [Sorry, hall master, I died just now.

[Happy was personally blocked by Vice Hall Master Barren. He should soon be surrounded and attacked by four Inaction Realm martial artists.]

Dream Clouds wrote nothing. When she read the first half of the letter, her expression became temse, but when she saw that Barren Murderer had personally held Happy back, she exhaled.

Ever since dying in Happy’s hands, Barren Murderer practiced hard every day, and his Undying King of Abyss Art nearly reached perfection. His physical body changed, and his black skin was equivalent to a supreme body fortification. It was even sturdier than a fourth-echelon Golden Armor.

Not only was its ratio of maintaining posture higher, it could also negate 50% of damage taken. If the user took Origin Leopard Pill, they could fight a long time against even Inaction Realm fighters. Barren Murderer would have no problem in holding Happy back.

But when Dream Clouds thought about how Happy could actually kill Matchless, Thousand Army, and the others with one palm, she still felt ill at ease.

“Blood Robes, let’s go!”

She donned her cloak, which made her look like a heroic female general, and went out while surrounded by a group of elites.

*****

At that moment, Happy was held back by Barren Murderer, whose skin was both black and white.

The division of the colors on his face was very clear when he appeared on the roof across from Happy with a cold expression. Just then, he had used this strange body to receive a full-powered strike from Happy!

“So powerful!”

Barren Murderer slowly straightened and he bared his teeth.

“As expected of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, one of the fiercest and toughest fist techniques in the world. It’ as strong as a punch from an Inaction Realm martial artist.”

As he spoke, he poked the sunken hole on his chest with a very relaxed expression.

The part that Happy struck head-on was recovering slowly but miraculously.

Happy focused his gaze. “Undying King of Abyss Art is extraordinary indeed.”

“Thanks to you, I have been training day and night just so that I could perfect Undying King of Abyss Art. Now, I’ve succeeded.”

When standing in front of Happy, Barren Murderer suddenly felt pleased with himself, as if all his gloom had just been swept away!

Thud!

Thud!

When he saw A’da and A’er land behind Happy, the smile on his face grew brighter. “How could you not greet us when you come to Beijing and allow me to show my hospitality as lord of the place? But now, it seems that someone else wants to kill you more than I do.”

“Are you that confident that you can kill me?”

Happy swept a glance over A’da and A’er, then suddenly cackled coldly and looked around.

The slaughter just then had resulted in most of the shops in the area being destroyed. Class One Hall had lost at least three hundred of their men, and now, they stayed far away, not daring to get close.

Barren Murderer’s expression turned dark, and he snorted. “As expected of you, top ranked player on Famous People Rank. You can actually still afford to laugh in this situation? I have to say, I admire you. But I’d like to see just how you can escape from four Inaction Realm martial artists and my hands.”

“Undying King of Abyss Arts emphasizes defense, not offense. In other words, you’re just a tank. Can your speed and attacks even threaten me?”

When Happy saw that A’da and A’er had been forced to stay sixty-five feet away by Zhou Zhiruo, the smile on his face grew brighter.

“I’m going to leave Beijing with Sect Leader Zhou, but you think that you can stop me with just your abilities, Barren Murderer?”

His words were incredibly disdainful, and Barren Murderer’s expression immediately became sour.

What Happy said was right.

Undying King of Abyss Art emphasized defense, not offense. If Happy insisted on forcefully breaking through, Barren Murderer could do nothing about it. Before, he had thought that Happy stopped because he was wary.

But when he heard Happy’s words, Barren Murderer suddenly felt unease rise in his heart!

Since Happy understood the weakness of Undying King of Abyss Art, why did he stop and let the four Inaction Realm martial artists surround him?

While he was puzzled, he suddenly saw Happy turn his face around to face Xuanming Elders, who charged over to attack Zhou Zhiruo. “Lu Zhangke, if you don’t want to have no space to stay in the world, then stand aside with your brother! Don’t interfere with the matter today! Then, the grudge between us will come to an end!”

The area fell silent.

Barren Murderer’s expression changed!

He looked past Happy’s shoulder, straight on Xuanming Elders, who were prepared to join the encirclement.

“Do you mean it?!” Lu Zhangke’s expression was complicated when he shouted his question loudly.

“I am a man of my word!” Happy swore.

Right when he finished speaking, Zhou Zhiruo, who was in a precarious situation, noticed to her shock that Lu Zhangke truly persuaded He Biweng to leave, and the pressure on her drastically reduced.

A’da and A’er looked at each other in puzzlement, but said nothing.

Zhou Zhiruo was already injured. With their strength, they could kill her themselves! Xuanming Elders’ aid was no longer important at that point.

However, Xuanming Elders’ sudden departure made Barren Murderer finally notice the faint scent of a scheme. The small hint of unease that had already been in his heart quickly grew.

Happy’s aura gathered together. He clenched his fists, and a powerful vortex swiftly appeared out of nowhere above the roof!

Whine!

With a horrifying whine, a large and black tornado rose from the ground. The tiles of the houses around them were torn out with tinkling sounds by a great suction force, which brought them into the dragon-shaped tornado above Happy’s head. It looked incredibly magnificent.

Barren Murderer quickly sensed danger from that attack!

Happy, who had created the phenomenon, continued standing still on the ground. His voice was calm when he spoke.

“I came to Beijing to save someone and did not plan to get engaged in any sort of conflict with Class One Hall, but since you took the initiative to cause trouble, I won’t shy away from it...” He paused for a moment, and the fierce look in his eyes became clearer. “Treat this as your lesson.”

“ROAR!”

He shook his fists, and the huge black dragon went sweeping downward from the sky! Its large body was nearly sixteen feet long. Once it absorbed the countless tiles in the area, it was practically a dragon with a physical form. The tiles were stacked together to form a detailed dragon, and it looked as if it had rushed out from the bottom of a chasm in a pool when it charged toward Barren Murderer.

It was Dragon Hides in Pool.

Before the dragon arrived, its threatening air and momentum already intimidated Barren Murderer so much that his face turned pale. He subconsciously took a step back while sensing an incredibly clear threat of death from the large black dragon.

In nervousness, Barren Murderer gritted his teeth and rammed his fist at the dragon.

“I won’t believe that I can’t tank this! Undying King of Abyss Punch, break it!”
