The first slash produced no results.

  The onlookers did not see any traces of a fight between the two men, but they gained a deeper understanding of Happy’s strength.

  No matter what, One Emperor was a powerful player who was first place on Dragon Rank for nearly a year. His sword technique had reached transcendence, and he had already entered a stage that others did not even know about.

  During the fight at Hero’s Mountain Villa, many of the powerful players on Dragon Rank could not withstand four slashes from One Emperor, and his sword technique became even more mysterious and unfathomable.

  Even though the fights on Dragon Tiger Arena had allowed Happy to receive the title of the strongest in the game, the players still had some doubts about who truly deserved the title of strongest, since Happy had not fought against One Emperor.

  It was not that they doubted Happy’s strength, but One Emperor’s final slash had cut the legendary Ling Huchong’s shoulder during his final fight at the arena. That scene was something countless people still pondered about deeply, since there was no first person battle replay for it.

  Many people believed that the title strongest could only be truly determined if they officially fought.

  Happy did not disappoint them.

  At the very least, in the eyes of the people who managed to catch the first slash, his performance was perfect. He was calm and did not show any of his thoughts nor acted in a flashy manner.

  Besides, he managed to easily get through the first slash despite One Emperor’s sword speed having increased.

  However, most people did not notice what had happened. While they were stunned by One Emperor’s words, a black arc that resembled a waterfall rose from his hands.

  If the first slash was incredibly quick, then in comparison, the second slash was like a turtle crawling about. It was a black sword glare that resembled a whip, and it descended from the sky with a whoosh.

  This slash seemed to be even slower than when the people had seen it at Hero’s Mountain Villa

  Many of the players found this incredibly strange. They believed that if they stood in Happy’s position, they would be able to easily negate or receive the slash.

  But when Happy saw the sword glare that came toward him slowly like a black snake, he suddenly scowled, and chills creeped down his spine. He felt a sense of danger, as if he had been targeted by a fierce creature.

  It might have seemed to be coming at him slowly, but it was actually very quick!

  Whoosh!

  \r \r \r

  At the moment the black sword glare arrived above Happy’s head, it suddenly sped up.

  Since it was incredibly fast, the black sword glare let out a sonic boom, and it instantly turned into three black snakes before that surrounded him from all directions.

  ‘I knew it. The second slash mutated.’

  While Happy thought about it, his hands did not remain idle. He tapped gently at the air.

  At the same time, Golden Bell Cocoon rose from his body and released golden light.

  Shick!

  A faint sound came from the air. Immediately after, countless players who were watching the fight saw Happy shift three feet away. His Golden Bell Cocoon retreated into his body, while there were two deep and aggressive trenches to his right.

  Happy had acted with great speed. He moved and attacked with his finger, and he also activated Golden Bell Cocoon. Many of the elites in the crowd did not manage to catch the details of all that he had done.

  They only saw a golden light flash, and Happy got through the second slash.

  “What happened just now?”

  “Don’t look at me, I didn’t manage to see it clearly. Damn it, this difference……” Many of the players in the crowd who thought of themselves as great turned red. Some of them scowled, widened their eyes, and continued watching the fight.

  “Good. I finally managed to force you to attack.”

  When One Emperor saw Happy use a negation technique to forcefully withstand the attack and his body fortification instantly recover, his tone showed surprise and delight.

  Happy smiled wanly. “I didn’t expect myself to be forced to attack so quickly. These slashes of yours have become much stronger than before. Looks like there is indeed no limit to a martial art.”

  When he said that, his expression suddenly turned solemn and grave, because One Emperor had shifted his posture. Clearly, he was ready to deliver the third slash.

  It had been broken by Silver Wolf in the past, and it was a turning point. It turned from a simple sword technique relying solely on speed to one that had reached a profound breakthrough. Its might increased by leaps and bounds, and each minor change contained great killing intent that could not be underestimated.

  One Emperor’s face was stern and callous. As his long blacksword gradually came to a stop, it revealed before countless players a black and profound sword curtain filled with endless killing intent. It completely isolated the other side of the world, and it was filled with a bleak atmosphere, causing the people to feel fear toward the unknown darkness!

  One Emperor opened his eyes!

  He raised one hand, and the black sword curtain transformed quickly. It split into seven black and sharp swords above his head. They formed a circle, pierced through the sky, and shot out.

  At the moment One Emperor flicked his wrist, Happy’s heart trembled. He could no longer remain calm. He pushed three of his fingers together and attacked with both hands.

  He tapped three times in a flash!

  At this time, no one outside the field could see all that the two fighters did.

  Once Happy mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, his improved spiritual senses helped him by a lot. He could sense not only the changes in One Emperor’s qi activity and the trajectory formed by the killing intent in each slash, his perception toward threats was also incredibly sensitive.

  At the moment the black sword curtain turned into sharp blades, Happy could tell that the speed of the seven swords were much faster than that of the former slashes. Their damage was also not weaker. If he was hit, he would be crippled if not outright dead!

  Without any hesitation, Happy attacked repeatedly with Joined Finger.

  His Body Movement and Arm Strength were both at nearly two hundred points, and it was the time for Happy to test how good those attributes were. He instantly attacked six times and tapped One Emperor’s sharp swords. Even though all six black swords did not shatter, their remaining damage was not enough to pose a threat to him.

  Happy avoided the last sharp sword with a slight sway.

  ‘Good!’

  Excitement shone in One Emperor’s eyes.

  “Beautiful!” he cried out, but he did not stop attacking. He pulled back his black longsword using the momentum and vanished from everyone’s eyes.

  It was the first time someone was able to withstand his fourth slash head-on and remain unharmed.

  In the world of martial artists, heroes valued each other, and powerful enemies valued each other even more. One Emperor finally stopped drawing out the fight. He intended to fight at full strength, and he executed his fifth and sixth slashes against Happy.

  At the moment he vanished, Happy suddenly turned around and shot out. His body shuddered delicately while airborne. A black sword glare grazed past his body before it sank into the forest nearby like a flash of lightning.

  Rustle!

  Several big trees were cut apart horizontally like tofu!

  The tips of Happy’s feet landed on the ground, but before he could regulate his breathing, two black lightning bolts intersected with each other to pass him by while drawing out deep and sharp trenches by his feet. They rushed into the crowd not too far in the distance, and cries of surprise rang out.

  This slash had not ended just then.

  One Emperor moved like a lagging movie. He appeared repeatedly in the air, and every single time he swung his sword, several sword glares flew out from the most impossible angles to chase after Happy in an unbelievable manner.

  He moved incredibly quickly, giving people too many things to look for. The crowd watched One Emperor continuously attack and change his location as if they were looking at a monster. He seemed to be immersed in some kind of profound state, and he controlled the situation completely.

  Happy was in a bad position and was continuously suppressed. He moved here and there and adjusted his body’s angle to avoid the attacks.
