Chapter 492: Receive Quest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dragon Hides in Pool!
It was different from the first move—Surrender at the Sight of the Dragon—Happy had come to understand. It was not for defense, but for absolute offense. Right then, it could already bring forth extraordinary strength. The violent black dragon was like a fearsome creature that had descended into the world, and with a momentum that could destroy everything with ease, he annihilated more than one hundred Yuan Dynasty soldiers as well as injured multiple Moksha Realm fighters.
“ROAR!”
When Happy went up against A’san, his gaze focused, and the black dragon let loose a dragon roar that shook the royal mansion. The sharp tornado went charging at it with a powerful momentum!
The large black dragon had already grown to a tornado that had a diameter of from nine to thirteen feet! Its movement speed and great whirling current created a huge suction force. A’san retreated a few steps before he found that he was already close to the entrance of the dungeon and had lost all possibility of dodging. At that moment, the tornado arrived in front of him.
A’san crossed his arms over his chest with a face that was stark pale. He pushed his back against the wall to withstand the blow from the black dragon tornado.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A’san received the attack head-on. His clothes looked like they had been cut by thousands of weapons. In an instant, they were ripped to shreds, and countless criss-crossing bloody marks appeared on his skin. But to an Inaction Realm martial artist who had already perfected his defensive martial art, those superficial wounds were not enough to send him to his knees.
Happy knew that more clearly than anyone else, and his lips curled up slightly. He crossed his arms and pushed forward with his palms. The small dragon hidden inside the remaining part of the black dragon moved like a swimming fish. It agilely moved through the tornado and crashed against A’san, who was arduously resisting the attack, at the speed of lightning.
Even when he saw that the black dragon was about to disappear, A’san never relaxed. He suddenly sensed a threatening chill rise from his body, and his muscles swiftly tensed up!
But it was too late.
The small dragon that was hidden inside the tornado shot through A’san’s body. At the same time, it shot through the wall behind him.
Silence.
The place regained its calm.
A’san was forced to cough up a mouthful of blood. He stood leaning against the wall with a pale face. The awe-inspiring presence around him had already been reduced drastically.
The wind stopped howling. The plants outside the dungeon had all been crushed by the shattered rocks that came flying at them. It looked like a tornado had really swept through the area. Half of the rooms around were destroyed, and Yuan Dynasty soldiers could be found lying everywhere! The entire backyard of the royal mansion was devastated, and it was in chaos.

“You didn’t die even after this?”
Happy suddenly admired A’san’s tenaciousness, which he found to be as great as that of a cockroach.
The might of the thirteenth move already reached the damage of Inaction Realm. A normal Yuan Dynasty soldier would lose their life if they were swept a little further into Dragon Hides in Pool. A’san had suffered all of its damage, but he only took some superficial damage. Even the greatest profound secret of Dragon Hides in Pool which had shocked even Happy had not been able to kill him.
After that strike, Happy’s momentum fell back to the level of the tenth attack. He had spent nearly half of his qi, and he fell to Mystical Realm.
However, since he had already come this far, he had to take A’san and leave with him no matter what to see whether he could force him to cough up one of the Buddhists’ ultimate technique—Vajra Prajñā Palm.
When he was about to attack, the system gave him a notification.
“Ding!
“Realized that Emei Sect’s leader Zhou Zhiruo is trapped in Ruyang Mansion. Please immediately send help and aid Zhou Zhiruo to escape Beijing.
“If you receive the quest, please break free of Ruyang Mansion’s elites and shake off the pursuit of the city guards within half an hour with Zhou Zhiruo to leave Beijing!
“If you reject the quest, your relationship with Zhou Zhiruo will turn sour!”
At the moment the system finished, Happy cast a deep glance at A’san.
‘What a pity!’
If it were not an escape quest with a time limit set on it, he would have definitely killed A’san before he left, but since he had already attracted the attention of the city guards, he could only endure the pang in his heart and temporarily give up on the injured A’san. If he had a chance in the future, he would attack then.
Happy redirected his gaze to the entrance of the royal mansion.
*****
Happy’s appearance quickly made countless guards wary. All sorts of surprised cries rose and fell, and the Yuan Dynasty soldiers surrounded Prince Ruyang. The Divine Arrow Eight Heroes, who originally wanted to fight against Zhou Zhiruo, had to split up to protect Prince Ruyang.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards sucked in rapid breaths. When they saw that the person shot to the entrance of the royal mansion with the force of a tornado and followed by dragon roars while killing all the Yuan Dynasty soldiers on his way, their hearts began thumping loudly and fiercely!
“It’s indeed him!”
Langye’s reaction was the greatest. When he saw the faint red light from the person, he immediately made the judgment that the person should have received either the quest from Zhang Wuji or Zhou Zhiruo. Hence, Langye and he automatically became enemies.
He immediately sucked in a slight breath and subconsciously distanced himself slightly from Prince Ruyang. The fight in Heaven Fragrant Tower had allowed the unfamiliar man to display astonishing abilities, but judging from what Langye saw then, the person had actually held back at that time.
Langye could not fight him with brute strength!
The warning bells in Langye’s heart rang loudly. Even though his status in Beijing was incredibly high and no one dared to touch him, anyone who had reached the level of that stranger would not show any respect for the dignity of the tower master of Sky Penetrating Tower.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Divine Arrow Eight Heroes rushed over with the momentum of a tidal wave. The tips of their arrows shone with a spark like lightning. They drew their bows together, and the arrows fell in a formation. Even Inaction Realm martial artists had a hard time against those arrows, but they did not manage to stop Happy’s footsteps.
He easily avoided the first wave of arrows from the Divine Arrow Eight Heroes and approached the entrance of the royal mansion.
“Sect Leader Zhou!” When Happy spoke, his voice was like thunder. “There are plenty of elites in Beijing. Since you cannot succeed, why don’t you listen to my suggestion? How about we retreat for the time being?”
If Langye and his group had not seen the newcomer’s attacks, they would definitely start laughing and mocking him after hearing such arrogant words. But just when the players nearby began to wonder just who would speak so arrogantly, they saw Zhou Zhiruo redirect her sword and use a few sword forces to force A’da and A’er back. With a tap against the ground, she jumped up on a restaurant with her white robes fluttering in the air.
“I didn’t expect that you would be here as well……”
The players who were watching were all stunned, and they tried to guess the person’s identity.
At that moment, Zhang Wuji called out loudly, “Young Swordsman Happy, it’s you!”
Boom!
His words were like a bomb that was thrown into a calm lake. After remaining quiet for a few seconds, the calm lake suddenly blasted its water sky high and boiled over. The innumerable players near the royal mansion all burst into a commotion. Every person’s face was filled with disbelief. They did not blink as they stared at the calm and solitary figure who had shot out of the royal mansion.
“I see, so you’re here as well, Cult Master Zhang!”
“I’m here too!”
Zhao Min had the Eighth Prince in her grasp while she looked at Happy with gritted teeth. She did not expect that within less than a month, he would be able to move about at ease within the tightly defended Ruyang Mansion.
“Princess Zhao Min, I have to thank you for your gift that day, or else, how would I have been as successful as I am today?”
Happy might have seemed to be moving about at ease in the arrow formation of the Divine Arrow Eight Heroes, but he needed to continuously replenish the qi he had been using up to execute Petite Dragon. The eight people’s abilities were extraordinary, and if he stopped for even a moment, he would be in big trouble.
At the same time, Happy knew that if he did not set up a display of power in Ruyang Mansion to intimidate the countless bystanders who liked causing trouble, Zhou Zhiruo’s escape might become even harder. The people from Class One Hall would be the first to not allow him to show off in Beijing in such a manner.
When he thought of this, at the moment Happy got closer to the entrance of the mansion, he tapped against the ground, and a surging barehanded offence exploded as his speed swiftly increased!
“ROAR!”
A large black dragon was instantly formed under Happy. It immediately threw the arrows from the various Yuan Dynasty soldiers into chaos.
It roared madly with its prideful head raised high as it charged into a group of powerful fighters who had gathered at the entrance of the royal mansion.
