Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What did you do to my men?!”
When they saw Happy return alone in a leisurely manner, the expressions of Leader Lin and the other seven Heaven Domination Sect member changed swiftly. They turned their heads to look from where Happy had come, but they did not see anyone else, and uneasiness seeped into their hearts.
Happy naturally understood what they longed to see, and he smiled coldly before he said, “You don’t have to look anymore. They’re not coming.”
Leader Lin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked in a dark tone, “What do you mean…”
Yet even though he said those words, the people in the area—including the people from Heaven Domination Sect—could already tell that those who had gone after Happy were already died.
Happy did not provide any additional explanations. He just took two steps forward with an indifferent expression.
The invisible pressure made Leader Lin, who had a very imposing presence moments ago, to be unable to resist moving back. The feeling of losing his advantage, which he had never experienced before, made him not have the courage to even look Happy in the eye. He gulped laboriously and said a few empty threats with a dry mouth.
“If you offend Heaven Domination Sect, you will suffer!” As he spoke, he quickly sent a signal to the other seven people through his eyes.
They instantly understood what he meant, and they put on savage expressions again.
“Will I?”
Happy looked as if he had eyes on his back and flicked his right wrist.
“Ah!”
A Heaven Domination Sect member who tried to attack Azure Wolf at that moment cried out in pain. His sword-wielding hand was pierced through by a throwing knife, and it bled profusely. His weapon fell on the ground powerlessly.
The others had intended to attack as well, but their desire to do so instantly diminished. They stared at the injured person and Happy with pale faces and shocked expressions. They did not dare make any rash moves anymore.
Aside from held back moans in the forest, the only other sound was from Happy, who spoke with his usual calm tone, as if nothing had happened. He stood in front of Leader Lin like an old friend.
“I gave you a choice, and you chose to become my enemy. Since that’s the case, come at me.” When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold, and the great murderous intent in his words almost froze Leader Lin’s blood.
He knew that Happy was about to attack him!
‘I have to give it my all!’
Leader Lin gritted his teeth and immediately shouted. A shortsword appeared from his sleeve with a spin. It shone with a terrifying glare that looked like the glint in a venomous snake’s eyes, and it went straight to the powerful enemy before him.
“Hmm?”
At the same time he let out a surprised gasp, Happy used his hand to grab the black shortsword.
When Leader Lin saw this, he was ecstatic.
He had used the secret technique of Bloody Clothes Sect—Red Spot. The lethality of it if it was executed at close distance was astonishing, and if it struck a person’s vital spot, that person would die straight away with only a red spot on the corpse. It was exactly what Leader Lin wished for when Happy did not dodge the attack and even went up to receive it!
“You’re just asking for death!”
He gritted his teeth and used his full power to execute the attack.
However, he was left dazen when his shortsword clashed against a green hand that exuded a cold chill. Leader Lin did not see the scene of his sword piercing through Happy’s heart and blood spilling in the air.
Instead, Happy seized his black shortsword, and with a pull and tug, all of Leader Lin’s strength instantly landed on nothing. And he could not make his shortsword budge even an inch.
“Save Leader Lin!”
“Kill him!”
At that moment, the Heaven Domination Sect members pounced on Happy from behind him. Happy was surrounded.
“Careful!”
Eastern Green Gate and Whirlwind Young Li quickly warned him.
“Perfect timing.”
Happy smiled calmly. He moved in the Eight Trigrams Steps, and his palms, which gave off a cold chill, were like a pair of sturdy but nimble hands made of jade. He easily dragged the stunned and surprised Leader Lin to his side, and with a backhand, struck his back.
Thud!
Leader Lin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. While coughing up blood, he flew toward the Heaven Domination Sect members who had come to help him.
The attack just then was a very normal Warrior Monk’s Hand Flip, which was an attack from Shaolin’s Long Fist. Normally, it should not deal such great damage to Leader Lin, who had already activated his qi realm and was equipped with the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set.
However, Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks was a high-grade masterpiece that was worth one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. It increased Happy’s damage by 380 points, his speed by 10%, and had freezing true qi (which could affect his enemy’s attack speed). Its damage was equal to Shaolin’s Long Fist in Grandmaster Realm. Right then, even if he had to face Orochimaru’s Reverse Dual Swordplay head on, Happy had complete confidence that he would not be at a disadvantage! 1
There was no way Leader Lin could withstand his attack with the bit of defense he had.
“Leader!”
“Leader!”
“Are you alright?”
The Heaven Domination Sect members caught Leader Lin in a flurry of motion, and apprehension appeared on their faces.
They knew Leader Lin’s strength very well. He could take a few attacks from a powerful Great Wolf without retreating, yet now, he could not even take one attack from Happy.
“Blue-robed Noble Sword User, you live up to your name. Cough… Cough…” 1
Leader Lin soon managed to stand steadily on his feet under the support of his people. Once he spoke, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His face turned even paler, making it a clear sign that he suffered from an incredibly great internal injury.
“It’s already too late for you to say those things.”
Happy did not have any intention to continue delaying the fight and cast Leader Lin a scornful look.
“Attack him! Hold him back!” Leader Lin’s expression changed, and he quickly ordered the people beside him. “The sect master has already brought people over! He won’t be able to run!”
But before he could finish speaking…
“Hmph.”
A cold snort reached his ears, and the two people who supported him felt as if they had been struck by a large hammer at full force. Their feet left the ground, and they flew backwards. There was a throwing knife in each of their chests, and it was clear that they would not survive.
Leader Lin sucked in a sharp breath. When he looked up, he saw that Happy had moved in front of him like a phantom while there were still four people flanking him!
Leader Lin was deeply injured. He could not react in time and could only watch Happy execute a normal palm strike without any flourish right against his chest. Leader Lin trembled, and his chest caved in. He was sent flying again. At the same time, the people in the area heard an incredibly clear and piercing sound of bone breaking.
No one knew whether Leader Lin survived the attack.
The four people from Heaven Domination Sect were so anxious that they quickly went over to help him.
Happy went behind the two to his right. While avoiding the attacks from the two people to his left, he grabbed the blade and sword that came slashing at him without any hesitation.
Normal weapons would not be able to cause any damage to Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks. The wielders of the normal weapons only felt a great power charge toward them through their weapons, and the strength they placed in their weapons instantly crumbled. They were even dragged forward and lost their balance.
Happy’s gaze was calm. He let go and moved between the two while forming the shape of claws with his hands!
Black Tiger Tears Throats!
“Urk!”
He tore at the two men without any hesitation. Two puffs of blood mist gushed into the air, and their corpses fell slowly behind Happy.
“Run!”
The other two people were greatly astonished, and they turned around to run.
“Senior Brother Happy, don’t let them run!” Azure Wolf shouted behind him.
With a tap against the ground, Happy rose into the sky.
His Cloud Treading Step was at Grandmaster Realm. There was no way he would let them run.
“Let’s split up!”
Right when the two people from Heaven Domination Sect thought of this, a person descended from the sky, and before they could even say anything more to each other, they saw that figure land in the space between the two of them like a loach. Then, they felt a pain in their necks, and they knew nothing else.
Happy killed the two with a knifehand strike. By then, aside from the person with the long beard who had lost his fighting ability when his hand was pinned to a tree, all the people in Heaven Domination Sect had died.
This bearded man had wanted to run when Leader Lin lost his life, but Azure Wolf, Eastern Green Gate, and Whirlwind Young Li kept a close eye on him like hungry tigers. He could not leave. Right then, when he saw Azure Wolf put on a mocking smile, his face instantly turned as pale as ash.
