  But Silver Wolf seemed to not have noticed One Emperor’s actions. A layer of illusory heat rose from him, and his dripping blood stopped flowing at some point in time. A faint layer of red light appeared over his chest and stomach, right over the terrifying wound.

  When Silver Wolf noticed that the sword curtain from One Emperor had already gained shape in the air, he raised his foot and tapped against the ground. In the span of a breath, he managed to recover from most of his injuries, and with astonishing movements, he shot out toward One Emperor to deliver a few palm strikes at him from thirty-two feet away……

  He amazed the world with a single hit!

  The profound secret within the palm-generated wind from the hot Red Flame Palm and the speed of fourth-echelon Golden Gloves were brought out to their fullest potential in Silver Wolf’s hands. In the span of a breath, he caused the people at the foot of the arena to feel the strange and chilly atmosphere turn into a hot desert! In the blink of an eye, One Emperor’s sword curtain received a dozen attacks from palm-generated wind.

  If it were a normal palm-generated wind, One Emperor would naturally not be afraid of it.

  But Red Flame Palm had the amazing effect of evaporating qi.

  When the continuous wave of palm-generated qi struck One Emperor, more than ten holes were soon torn through the black sword curtain, and its momentum was largely reduced.

  At the same time, Silver Wolf drew close to One Emperor, and hot waves came tumbling at him!

  One Emperor scowled!

  The momentum of his sword changed, and he withdrew his black sword!

  Everyone only saw a ball of dazzling black light spreading out, and Silver Wolf as well as One Emperor were instantly devoured by black light. Not a single part of them was not covered by the black light.

  Everyone’s field of vision was filled only with black light. The people at the foot of the stage lost track of One Emperor and Silver Wolf!

  However, this lasted for less than two seconds.

  When the black light vanished, another person had appeared on the stage!

  Silver Wolf looked dejected, and his shoulders slumped. He was held by a stranger while he looked incredibly pathetic and horrifying. He stood on the arena through sheer force of will, and his fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set, which symbolized invincibility, had several bloody holes torn through it. It was damaged, and it no longer had the glory it once had.

  The person who had caught Silver Wolf looked up. His moustache was orderly and beautiful, and he gave up an incredibly cordial feeling to others. While he spoke, there was sincere admiration in his words. “What a powerful sword technique! Which sect do you belong to?”

  \r \r \r

  The people at the foot of the arena held their breaths and remained silent.

  “Lu Xiaofeng! It’s Lu Xiaofeng!”

  Quite a number of people managed to recognize the identity of the man on the arena, and they cried out in surprise.

  But even more people cast their gazes on One Emperor.

  Then, they saw that One Emperor was looking down and staring at the palm print on his chest in surprise. A very clear palm print had been seared onto his brocade robe.

  One Emperor looked up slowly and stared at Silver Wolf, who had an incredibly pathetic expression on his face but still gave off a frightening smile while he was in Lu Xiaofeng’s arms. For the first time ever, One Emperor smiled very happily. “Good!”

  His loud voice contained the domineering tone of a sovereign. “I didn’t expect that I would still be underestimating you, Silver Wolf! You’re the first person who forced me to use my fourth attack and also the first to injure me!”

  Silver Wolf forced himself to squeeze out an ugly smile. “Heh, your sword techniques are indeed outstanding. It’s no wonder why Happy constantly thinks about you. I was fortunate enough to have witnessed it today!”

  “Happy.” One Emperor suddenly put away the smile on his face, and there was a faint hint of longing in his voice. “Happy is indeed a genius. His comprehension is amazing, and he managed to defeat Zhou Yu with just two moves. His strength exceeded even my expectations. Don’t worry, I will wait for him at Dragon Tiger Arena, and before the heroes of the world, I will fight against him with all I have.”

  “Fight?” When he heard Silver Wolf heard that, his expression changed. “Didn’t you agree that you will only fight against each other three months later?”

  “That will be a fight of life and death. This time, we can fight to our heart’s content. After all, both sides will not be injured, so we may as well give it a try.” One Emperor smiled. “Looks like even you believe that the current Happy is not my opponent.”

  Silver Wolf said nothing. He remained silent.

  Originally, he had high hopes for Happy, but once he went through his fight against One Emperor, he realized that One Emperor’s sword techniques were each stronger than the last, especially those that came after second slash.

  His sword glare seemed to contain a spirit, and he could not avoid it at all, while the last slash…… contained countless waves of sword will, and they had a momentum so great it felt as if they could destroy the world.

  If it were not for Lu Xiaofeng’s Perception Finger, Silver Wolf would have already died.

  “I hope that Happy can force me to use my fifth attack.”

  One Emperor did not need Silver Wolf to answer him, because he already knew the answer. He smiled faintly and sheathed his sword. Then, he jumped off and left the arena where Silver Wolf was without bothering to linger around.

  Lu Xiaofeng was ignored by the duo.

  But he did not become angry while he watched One Emperor leave. He just rubbed his nose in embarrassment while sighing with a myriad of emotions. “The youngsters nowadays…… are all stronger than the last.”

  “Thank you for saving me, Senior Lu.”

  When Silver Wolf heard the man’s words, he remembered that he was still in the person’s arms. He quickly placed his fist in his hand, but unexpectedly, once he moved, he affected his wounds, and he fell to the arena because the pain made his strength drain from his body.

  Lu Xiaofeng quickly picked Silver Wolf up and smiled gently. “It’s alright, you have the right to be proud now that you were able to fight to this extent against that sort of genius.”

  He paused for a moment before he said, “But now that you lost to One Emperor, you won’t be able to continue down the Street of Arenas. Your plate has been destroyed. If you intend to continue fighting, you’ll have to start all over again at the big arena outside. But judging by your injuries, you’ll need at least an hour to heal. You should rest for a period of time quietly.”

  As he spoke, he helped Silver Wolf down the arena. Then, he looked for a restaurant and just dumped Silver Wolf in there before leaving without saying goodbye or giving Silver Wolf the chance to thank him again.

  Silver Wolf rested for a period of time in the restaurant before he suddenly remembered something. He stopped meditating and wrote a letter which he sent through a messenger pigeon.

  *****

  “Who else wants to come up and fight?”

  At that moment, Happy had just arrived at the first arena on the Street of Arenas. Yin Zhiping had also just used his Complete Reality Sword Technique to defeat the defender of the first arena. He was currently in high spirits and moved to the edge of the arena to invite others to fight him while he held his sword.

  Happy cast a glance at the middle-aged man at the foot of the arena and quietly placed the plate with his name on the table. Then, with a whoosh, he jumped on the arena.

  “Next, Happy!”

  Right when the loud announcement came from the foot of the arena, commotion rose below, and countless gazes were instantly trained on Happy!

  Yin Zhiping’s eyes lit up. “I see, so it’s you, Young Swordsman Happy. You are the Murong Clan disciple who has been enjoying the limelight in recent times. I am Yin Zhiping of Complete Reality School. I would like you to give me guidance, sir.”

  “Please.”

  Happy had his longsword directed at the ground. He left his front wide open for attack as a gesture of him rising to the challenge. His actions were clear-cut and straightforward.

  Judging by strength alone, Yin Zhiping should be above Chen Youliang.

  However, Happy had a deep understanding toward Complete Reality Sword Technique. Its moves and attacks were all deeply ingrained in his mind. When he saw Yin Zhiping raise his hand, he knew just where his next sword attack would go so with a calm expression, he flung his longsword and attacked at the same time as Yin Zhiping.

  Clang! Clang!

  The clear sword whines rose nonstop. Happy acted unlike his usual self and fought without holding back. He targeted the loopholes within Complete Reality Sword Technique and suppressed his opponent with every move he made. Soon, Yin Zhiping was drenched in sweat and forced to retreat. He quickly arrived at the edge of the arena.

  He flung his sword, and with a somersault, he made preparations to return to the stage, but Happy acted quickly. He destroyed his plans with a move and blocked Yin Zhiping while the man was airborne. He turned around, kicked him, and that one clean move allowed him to push him out of the arena.

  “Thank you for letting me win!”
