Chapter 1081: Provocation, Duel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Feng’s words were enough to make Happy be touched for a moment.

Even though he was only one sect master in Beijing who once had the title of Hero of Wisdom, he was still a sect master over nearly two hundred thousand members, and he held a share of the benefits in the capital, which was a place with multiple powerful people. Ji Feng’s strength was actually not as unworthy as he said himself to be.

Happy had already been thinking about how he should create a situation beneficial for him to create a sect because of Xu Xin’s suggestion and how he was to create his own territory in the Chinese server, which was currently full of terrifying storms because Class One Hall was in control of it. He did not expect that Ji Feng would take the initiative to offer his services to Happy.

Ji Feng’s strength might not be much, he was still able to control his own territory, and he was definitely not any weaker than any of the elites in Mu Clan, which was saying a lot, considering that was the sect he created in the world three years ago.

What touched Happy’s heart even more was that the shouts from more than ten thousand people in the plains caused Happy to suddenly feel his heart surge, and the flames of passion instantly burned in his heart.

The shouts from more than ten thousand people caused the small bit of hesitation in Happy’s heart to instantly vanish.

Perhaps Ji Feng’s breakout had caused Phantasmal Shadow and Wandering Know-it-all to be incredibly disappointed in him, but there was nothing wrong with these people hoping for a chance to survive.

These people still had the determination to fight to the death against Class One Hall!

This determination alone was already enough to make Happy tempted.

The elites from the two sects who stayed until now were the ones who were the most righteous and unyielding. If he did truly manage to get this strength in his hands, even though it would not be strong enough for him to fight against Class One Hall, but they would be more than enough to create some trouble to Class One Hall.

“…Happy?”

When he saw that Happy had suddenly stopped his chase but had instead turned his head around to them with a strange gaze, Ji Feng asked in surprise and anticipation.

“Have you… agreed to it?”

Happy said nothing, because he had a myriad of thoughts racing through his head.

In truth, the main reason he had come over here this time was not to help Ji Feng’s people in breaking out, but to attract Evil Emperor’s attention as well as attract some of Dream Clouds’ attention.

After all, Ji Feng had caused the forces who were supposed to break out of Beijing be reduced by one-third because of his choice to break out beforehand, causing the possibility of the ones remaining in Beijing to break out become even more unstable. He could only have Ji Feng lead his forces to hold back the group over here and attract Evil Emperor’s attention. It was only then that he could ensure that the other side had more chances and space to break out and leave.

As for Ji Feng and the others, Happy’s original idea was that they were all going to die when Evil Emperor arrived, and at most, only a few would survive, but Ji Feng and the other sect would definitely not be able to get back to their feet anymore. They would be completely destroyed and would disappear from World of Martial Arts.

Of course, this was not what Happy wanted to see. Even if he did not arrive, Ji Feng and the others would still not be able to escape from this face while they waited for a chance to make a break. In fact, they might even end up in an even worse situation.

But now, since Ji Feng had shouted these words in front of him, that meant he had made a man’s promise in front of Happy.

Happy believed that Ji Feng would not make such a promise in front of the world and especially in front of his members unless he meant it.

Since they were now his people, Happy naturally had to spend more brain power in thinking of a way for them to survive.

He ignored Ji Feng’s overjoyed and expectant gaze. He just thought about things before he said, “In all honesty, there is only one way to leave this place, and you should already have an idea what it is.”

Ji Feng was stunned, and he could not help but try to probe for an answer. “Are you saying…?”

“Ghost’s Domain.”

Happy then remembered that Ji Feng had just seen the situation over here, and it was impossible for him to put everything together within such a short period of time. He was not alone like Happy was. He had a lot of troubles at hand.

However, once Happy gave him a direction, Ji Feng’s eyes lit up, and he quickly understood what Happy meant.

Ghost’s Domain was the largest high-grade training field in the Chinese server, and groups from various factions of power were gathered there. There were also player groups with no factions of power over there. Right now, the two sects had been destroyed in the game, causing the members to not be affiliated to any sect, even though they still considered themselves a part of their sects, and once they entered Ghost’s Domain, it would be incredibly difficult for Class One Hall to think about digging out more than ten thousand people from Ghost’s Domain.

“Ghost’s Domain is to the south. We will change our direction now! Thanks!”

When he saw Ji Feng having his eyes shine while he got prepared to send orders for his members to take action, Happy could not hold back from reminding him. “If I were you, I’d have a group stay back to continue fighting with me to confuse Class One Hall so that we can fight for time to the main group to break out. As for the main group, they can’t stay together either. They must break up into different parts to prevent Evil Emperor from targeting them.”

“That’s easy. I’ll have around one hundred of us stay to fight with you. As for the others…”

Ji Feng’s resolute decision finally had Happy put on an expression of praise. He nodded in his heart.

Being able to boldly do something once he made a decision and being able to give up when the time was right was how a person should act!

At that moment, a mighty pressure that covered the entire area suddenly appeared out of nowhere from the back.

Happy’s expression changed.

Then, Evil Emperor’s unique shout came tumbling forward from the back like a wave. “Happy, come out and meet ME!”

His last word was like a clap of thunder in a valley. It rumbled and echoed endlessly in the world at a deafening volume.

“Evil Emperor!”

Ji Feng’s face turned white. Clearly, he did not expect that Evil Emperor would arrive so quickly. There were still a portion of people at the back who had not received the news. They had not made preparations to change their direction and break out.

Compared to the panicking Ji Feng, Happy was much calmer about Evil Emperor’s arrival. When he stopped for a moment, the people from the twelve Beijing sects had already fled from the area. The chances of them hearing Evil Emperor’s voice was low, and if they saw Ji Feng’s group continue to charge at them, none of them could be certain that Happy was not among them.

“Don’t worry. Just do as I said. I will go and meet him.”

Whoosh!

He tapped against the ground and rose into the air to move backward like a phantom to meet Evil Emperor.

Evil Emperor was just thinking about taking revenge for his subordinates. He had absolutely no interest in the people who had no sect emblems on their chests, which was why he had not begun killing them just yet.

With one whoosh, Happy appeared in the air. Evil Emperor’s attention then instantly landed on Happy. He pulled back his mental pressure from everywhere and gathered it on Happy. His voice also turned dark. “Happy…”

“Well, how many people did you bring this time?” While Happy smiled coldly, he mocked Evil Emperor to buy time for the people around him.

Since Class One Hall had fled without a trace, Evil Emperor did not even think that this group before him was actually Ji Feng and the other sect’s members. His killing intent was just focused on Happy, and his eyes burned calmly with rage. “Very good… This time, we will fight to our hearts’ content!”

“Alright!” Against Evil Emperor’s expectations, Happy agreed to it.

He frowned, and it was only at that moment that Evil Emperor noticed that there were quite a number of people who were fleeing into the distance. Right when he was about to say something, he did not expect that Happy’s words would cause his rage to burn even stronger than before.

“I’ve been wanting to decide who among us is the stronger one. Unfortunately, you always have quite a number of bodyguards by your side each time we meet. This time, we have no helpers around, and we can fight against each other one on one. Let’s see who among us dies first.”

When he faced Happy’s mocking and provocative words, which he did not bother to mask with nicer sounding words, Evil Emperor looked away and started chuckling coldly. “We can fight against each other one on one, but I don’t want to fight against you with medicinal pills. At that time, there will be no end to our fight. If you’re a man, then we will both swear that from this moment on, we will not take any medicinal pills until one of us falls!”

“I give you my word!”

“I won’t go back on mine either!”

Just like that, these two people readily agreed to an agreement between gentlemen. They were not allowed to take any sort of medicinal pills and would rely on their own strength to fight until one side died.

However, once Evil Emperor agreed to it, she suddenly realized that the situation was not good for him!

When they surrounded Happy, he took one Origin Leopard Pill!

It had been less than forty minutes since then, and Happy had still a little over an hour left where he would have his combat power increased by twenty percent.

Once he thought of this, Evil Emperor’s expression turned incredibly dark.

“What’s wrong?” Happy naturally knew the reason behind why Evil Emperor’s expression suddenly changed. He chuckled. “You still have time to regret what you said. After all, no one knows about our agreement. I won’t do something as boring and meaningless as to upload a video online to reduce your reputation either. I’ve never done something as immoral as that.”

Evil Emperor said nothing. It would have been better if Happy had not mentioned the word “immoral”, because once he did, Evil Emperor’s eyelid twitched a little. He felt his anger surge to his head. “Even if you took an Origin Leopard Pill, it’s useless! I will still kill you!”

“Alright, don’t you go saying that I’m oppressing you later on. I’ll let you take one Origin Leopard Pill before you fight against me. How does that sound?”

“Enough with the crap! Attack!”

Evil Emperor would naturally not fall into Happy’s trap. He had just sworn an oath between gentlemen, and countless people had seen and heard it. Right now, was he to take one pill alone right in front of so many people’s eyes? Even if Happy did not say anything, there were Chinese who loved chaos all around him. There was no way he would give up on such a rare opportunity.

He gnashed his teeth. Evil Emperor could only suffer this loss, and he intended to use the powerful recovery ability in Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art to withstand the effects from Origin Leopard Pill. Then, he would attack and suppress Happy later on.

*****

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Evil Emperor moved first before Happy, but Happy reacted by appearing beside Evil Emperor like a phantom, and without any hesitation, he executed a Dragon Capture with a backhand.

“Get lost!”

Evil Emperor’s pupils shrank. He did not expect that Happy would intend to get involved in close-quarters combat right from the start. When he remembered Happy’s Dragon Capture and the practically invincible true origin aura, he shuddered, and a mental attack in the form of a storm was flung out. In an instant, he manifested a few illusions before he withdrew from the fight and retreated quickly.

“That’s not very good, is it? You’re retreating when the fight has just begun?”

He could no longer care about the code of morality and justice in the world of martial artists, and Happy just laughed as he opened his mouth to mock Evil Emperor, forcing Evil Emperor to stop moving. His slight hesitation caused Happy to capture him with Dragon Capture, and a hidden force charged into his body through his arm. With a grunt, he nearly coughed up blood on the spot.

“You’re despicable!”

He swung Recondite Steel Heavy Sword at Evil Emperor, and he was forced to activate Dao Heart and push himself to send the sword back with a palm strike. He gnashed his teeth and squeezed out these two bone-chilling words.

“I gave you a chance to take a pill, and you didn’t take it. Now, you’re scolding me for being shameless. Alright, how about I let you hit me once?” After Happy managed to knock Evil Emperor back with one slash, he did not continue fighting. He just stood where he was with a resigned and speechless look before he shrugged and spread his arms.

His relaxed manner, which made him look as if he had won the fight, caused Evil Emperor to feel as if his chest was about to explode in anger. He felt that he was even angrier than when he was struck three times by Happy with his sword.

He was originally prepared to sacrifice a part of his qi to counterattack while Happy chased after him, but he did not expect that Happy stop and look as if he was willing to go easy on him.

The incredibly prideful Evil Emperor took two steps back before he regained his footing. His eyes had already turned completely bloodshot, and he focused his attention before he stared at Happy. The qi flow around him slowly sped up as he breathed.

He was furious.

Evil Emperor had finally flown into a rage because of Happy!

Because of Happy’s words, if he continued tolerating Happy’s insults and just avoided his attacks, not only would the people in the Chinese server think that Happy was suppressing him, perhaps even Wild Wolves will think that he could do nothing about Happy.

“I’ll let you witness what is the real Dao Heart Demonic Seed…”

Right when he finished speaking, Happy suddenly felt the mental pressure that filled the area around him suddenly disappear without a trace, and soon after, Evil Emperor’s figure suddenly vanished from his original spot.

A black figure appeared near Happy without a sound. His fingers became as sharp as blades, and at lightning speed, he stabbed Happy’s chest.
