  Dragon Rank 7: Happy

  Dragon Rank 8: Tang Feng

  The change on the Dragon Rank quickly attracted countless players’ attention. Happy had jumped to the top when he was previously more than one hundred ranks away from it, and it was even more shocking than him dying once.

  It was as if a powerful bomb had been thrown into World of Martial Arts, and it swiftly attracted the attention from every corner of the world.

  If Happy’s death was a great mystery to all players, then the series of news that shot out with an even more powerful force when he displayed even more aggressive abilities than before his death while the effects of his death had not worn off almost caused the entire game to boil in excitement.

  He killed more than two hundred people outside the city, then another hundred once he showed up in Class One Hall’s branch in Vast Martial City!

  Happy also killed the seventh ranked player on the Dragon Rank, Hall Master Tang Feng of Assassin Hall, and everyone could feel the light on Happy that would allow him to mow down all resistances.

  *****

  When everybody connected Class One Hall mobilizing a large number of forces to attack Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters, they began discussing and speculating among themselves whether Class One Hall would give up on attacking Beautiful Robes Faction because of Happy’s very blatant threat.

  After all, Class One Hall had decisively decided on using force to settle matters and mobilized manpower from three branches to attack Beautiful Robes Faction because they received news that Happy had died.

  However, Happy’s abilities had not been reduced in the slightest.

  If Class One Hall continued with their attack, they might end up with a situation where neither side would stop fighting against each other until one of them was completely destroyed.

  That would be extremely bad for Class One Hall’s development, especially when they needed to strengthen their position as the boss among the three great sects. Because of that, it was quite likely that they would retreat.

  However, what no one expected was that Class One Hall did not show any signs of withdrawing their troops even after the branch in Vast Martial City had been destroyed for half an hour. The cities that were the closest to Vast Martial City quickly shrank their area of activity and entered an extreme state of nervousness.

  All signs pointed to Class One Hall’s reaction to Happy’s action being: ‘We will fight!’

  *****

  The battle at Beautiful Robes Faction had already reached its peak.

  As Class One Hall pushed forward until they stood at the foot of the wall, they suddenly heard the sound of a flapping noise tearing through the air.

  Whoosh! Whoooooosssh!

  A black thread quickly and accurately sliced through one of the Class One Hall members’ throat.

  The first person of Class One Hall had finally died!

  \r \r \r

  But since it was unavoidable for various sacrifices to be made when attacking a headquarters, that person’s sacrifice did not attract much attention.

  However, in an instant, the second and third corpses fell off from the air when trying to jump up, and the Class One Hall members swiftly noticed that a hint of a threatening presence had appeared in the air.

  Beautiful Robes Faction’s attack had also become much fiercer.

  With the effect of the boomerangs that tore through defense, the damage of the violent arrow shower increased by leaps and bounds, and the first wave killed dozens of people.

  However, to Class One Hall, which had more than one thousand elites, such damage was as unnoticeable as trying to quench a fire with a cup of water—it was simply insignificant.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The first larger group of people jumped up, but while they were still in the sky, three golden arrows pierced through three people. Their faces quickly flushed red as if they were drunk. They coughed up blood and fell off the wall.

  “Beautiful!”

  Quite a number of people cast Xu Yao a glance, but no one was allowed to have their attention divided in this sort of situation.

  Class One Hall officially scaled the walls and charged into the headquarters.

  “Go!”

  One Circle, Tea Words, Bum, Rampaging Dragon, Glutinous Rice, Puffy God, and the others led a group of more than one hundred students with equipment that did not lose to the people from Class One Hall and engaged them in battle.

  Boom!

  The gate was rammed opened, and the people from Class One Hall surged in like a tidal wave.

  Both parties quickly engaged each other in a anxiety-wrecking battle.

  However, a very clear, empty spot quickly formed on Beautiful Robes Faction’s side.

  All elites rushed to the front, but they left behind an empty spot that was around ninety-eight feet long behind them. The next moment, Beautiful Robes Faction’s archers and knife throwers unleashed their full strength.

  Splitting throwing knives and bows were used to their full potential against the people from Class One Hall.

  Even though Class One Hall’s attack was fierce, and their people had an advantage in numbers when it came to elites, they had been intercepted by the people on the frontline and all sorts of projectiles were concentrated on them. This threw quite a number of people off their feet, and they were soon pinned to the ground.

  Silver Wolf was at the front. His parting hooks danced until they were like Wind and Fire Wheels while boomerangs flew at full might, attacking enemies on the walls in a frenzy.

  “Thirty-seven…… thirty-eight…… forty-three…… fifty-seven……”

  The amount of people that died continued to increase rapidly!

  However, with time passing by, Silver Wolf found it difficult to continue persevering. Controlling ten boomerangs in one go required a lot of mental energy and physical strength. He also had to make various calculations and pay attention to many things.

  Cold sweat soaked through Silver Wolf’s shirt. If it were not because Beautiful Robes Faction was in danger, he would have stopped a long time ago. Right then, however, he could only grit his teeth and continue fighting, even if his accuracy clearly dropped by a large degree.

  *****

  One Circle was dressed entirely in black, so much so that he was like ink or a black God of War. He held a purple-red greataxe and swung it madly while being as steady as a mountain. Axe shadows flickered, and no one dared to easily approach his fury. He stood firm at the gate of the headquarters and defended it with steadiness.

  But the others were under great pressure.

  When they had to face enemies that numbered several times more than them, they found themselves having a hard time persevering.

  However, there were a few shadows who hid in the corners of the headquarters.

  Once anyone tried to approach those corners, a black longsword would immediately shoot out from the air and viciously cut down the nearest Class One Hall member. Then, the ambusher would swiftly vanish into the chaotic crowd.

  Quite a number of Class One Hall members had been ambushed and killed in mysterious ways, and it finally attracted quite a number of people’s attention.

  “Damn it!”

  “Black Demon Sword! Shadow Sword Technique!”

  “Everyone, be careful!”

  When one person had revealed himself to launch an ambush, he was discovered by a member of Class One Hall. The player thrust his sword forward, and just as he expected, he pierced through the ambusher’s body. A sinister smile bloomed on his face at that.

  “Serves you right for ambushing.”

  But before his voice could fade away, two black shadows appeared behind him like phantoms, and two black longswords shot out at the same time. They charged through the air one after the other. One tore through his defense, and the other beheaded him.

  “You jerk!”

  “Young White, we’ve taken revenge for you.”

  *****

  “Why are you still dilly-dallying?! Why are you taking such a long time to take down one measly Beautiful Robes Faction?!” Blood Robes stood by the door and watched the two hundred or so corpses belonging to his own people being cast down from the wall and ordered coldly, “Attack!”

  All the archers outside the headquarters changed their weapons, activated their qi realms and body fortifications, and rushed to the headquarters.

  *****

  Phoenix Dances gritted her teeth and defended the rear of the headquarters. When she saw her brothers and sisters being drenched in blood from the fight, there were several times when she wanted to rush to the frontlines and battle alongside them, but when she remembered that someone needed to give orders, she could only harden her heart and continue staying in the rear.

  She was looking at the frontlines when she noticed that the soldiers of Class One Hall seemed to become much more numerous.

  “Soaring Eagle Swords!” Phoenix Dances released an urgent order.

  A dozen or so knife throwers took out sets of exquisite and sharp Soaring Eagle Swords from their waists at the same time.

  The dozen or so people who jumped down from the wall suddenly felt that the damage from the throwing knives had become much stronger. With just a few throwing knives, their body fortifications shattered, and before they could even take a few steps forward, they were pinned to the ground by arrows.

  The knife throwers from Beautiful Robes Faction were filled with even more gustor!

  A set of Soaring Eagle Swords cost thousands of taels of silver, and there they were, throwing them madly as if they were worth nothing.
