Chapter 328: Demon Subduing True Qi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A few cracks had already appeared on the black foundation on top of the square stairs of the headquarters. It swayed, and it looked as if it was about to be completely destroyed!

However, when the blue-robed young man appeared, the monk’s momentum, which made it seem like he was a one-man army, was finally broken.

Happy executed Dragon Capture with one hand, and his grip was so steady that it seemed like he could hold a mountain with no problem!

Monk with Thick Eyebrows stared at the person in front of him with a solemn expression and a heart full of shock.

He felt his body going numb. The full-powered strike he delivered with all his qi had been easily parried, and the strength in his body instantly flowed away. No matter how hard he tried, he could not push his palm down anymore.

Yet only a few more hits were left before Jade Fox Palace’s foundation crumbled.

‘I can’t accept this!’

Even though the person in front of the monk was very famous, he could not just give up like. He shuddered, gritted his teeth, and stomped on the ground!

“AH!” he roared loudly!

He recovered his strength quickly, and it allowed him to break free from Happy’s grasp. Then, he swiftly pushed his palms together!

Boom!

His monk robes moved without the wind and fluttered madly around him! A violent surge of qi flowed through him, and wind howled in the headquarters! The people around him looked as if they had run into a fierce storm. As they cried out in surprise, they were blown away and could not stand up.

The only person who was not affected was Happy.

He quickly recognized the technique the moment the monk executed it: Demon Subduing True Qi.

The most important part of Demon Subduing True Qi was not its offense, but a release of the user’s qi outwards. It created a qi whirlwind around the user, which affected the balance of all the people around them!

If someone used brute force to try to fight against Demon Subduing True Qi, they would still get hit and be moved slightly. The monk wanted to take advantage of that moment when no one could protect the sect’s foundation to strike it down.

Happy understood straight away that the monk chose to use up all his strength and risk everything to destroy Jade Fox Palace’s sect foundation!

Boom!

A gentle wave of qi left Happy’s body to form a whirlwind that spun around him on its own. It negated the effects of the monk’s Demon Subduing True Qi, and he did not move, just stared straight in the eyes of the monk.

“Amitabha! You do live up to your name as the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank!”

Even though Jade Fox Palace members were affected by Demon Subduing True Qi and were sent rolling into a pile, Monk with Thick Eyebrows did not see the effects he had been expecting, and he sighed in his heart. Happy had been able to easily withstand his killing move, which he had executed with the determination to subdue him. Clearly, Happy had even more unfathomable strength than he thought. After understanding that, the monk’s heart sank even further.

“But sir, you have no ties with Jade Fox Palace. Why did you take the initiative to get involved in this mess? Patron Happy, if you have a grudge against Class One Hall, I will have to ask you to provide an explanation.”

“You are wrong in that regard.” Happy’s expression was calm, and his smile did not diminish. “This is the first time I entered Baokang, and Brother Absolute of Jade Gate Palace regards me highly, so we formed an alliance that pledged us to fight together. Sir, if you lead people to destroy Jade Fox Palace and I stay out of the matter, I will definitely be regarded with scorn by the people.”

The monk said nothing, but when he heard that Happy had formed an alliance with Jade Fox Palace, his expression changed repeatedly.

“Patron Happy, looks like you are determined to go against Class One Hall by abusing the fact that our hall master and vice hall masters are not around.”

“Master, you are being unreasonable. It is perfectly justified that I help Jade Fox Palace defend their place. If I truly was going against your hall, master, do you think that you would have the chance to talk to me using the name of Buddha?” Happy was quiet for a moment after saying that, then his voice turned cold. “Withdraw your forces. You might have to ask your hall master and your vice hall masters to personally lead an army to Baokang. You and Evil Wolf cannot take down Jade Fox Palace.”

Boom!

When the monk heard Happy’s final words, he scowled. He could not believe that Happy would publicly provoke Class One Hall for Jade Fox Palace.

“Very well!” Monk with Thick Eyebrows sneered coldly in indignation before pushing his palms together. “I will surely convey your words to my hall master as you have told me.”

Once he finished speaking, he glared at the sect foundation in front of Happy. He then gritted his teeth and jumped over the group of people to come beside Evil Wolf.

“Let’s go!”

Evil Wolf and Absolute Nonsense swiftly stopped fighting at the foot of the stairs. Jade Fox Palace elites who had returned to provide reinforcements were fighting tit-for-tat against the elites from Class One Hall quickly pulled themselves out of the battlefield as well.

“You’re thinking of leaving?!”

At least five hundred of Jade Fox Palace’s members had died. When they saw that the people from Class One Hall wanted to leave, there was no way they would allow it to happen.

However, the people who stood guard outside the door switched to bows, and a volley of arrows forced the pursuers from Jade Fox Palace back into the headquarters.

Absolute Nonsense was worried about even more deaths and quickly ordered his men to pull back before helplessly watching the people from Class One Hall form an orderly team to retreat through Baokang County Town’s streets and entered the safety zone.

“Bastards!”

“Boss, just give an order and I will immediately lead some men to lock down the city gates. We’ll keep them here in Baokang!”

Lu Zhentian rushed before Absolute Nonsense with his blood boiling. The deaths of hundreds of his sect members had upset him quite a bit. Just like many of the other Jade Fox Palace members, he had a burning ball of flames in his heart that was in urgent need to be vented!

Absolute Nonsense looked around him.

There was sadness and anger on his face. However, he did not let anger affect his judgment. Once he took a deep breath, he went to stand in front of Happy.

“Brother Happy, it’s all thanks to you that Jade Fox Palace was protected. On behalf of all my eight thousand members, I thank you for helping us in the name of a righteous cause.”

The disciples of Jade Fox Palace who stood in the distance were dumbfounded.

They still did not know how things had progressed in such a manner. Everyone knew that the elites had been assembled to help Blood River Sect kill Happy’s brother, Thunderous Battle, so how did Happy end up becoming Jade Fox Palace’s ally? And he even saved Jade Fox Palace right on time!

Happy could sense the strange atmosphere in Jade Fox Palace and Absolute Nonsense’s sincerity through his tone. He smiled faintly. “Brother Absolute, you’re embarrassing me, as your ally, I only did what I was supposed to do. Besides, I’m afraid that this matter will not end here. Brother Absolute, you will have to be careful. I still need to go to Blood River Sect.”

“You’re right!”

It was only then that Absolute Nonsense remembered that aside from Jade Fox Palace, Baokang’s second greatest sect, Righteous Sect, and third greatest sect, Blood River Sect, had been attacked by Towering Palace and Cold Moon Palace. The fight there might not have ended just yet.

His expression became stern, and he turned to Lu Zhentian without hesitation. “Brother Lu, placate our sect members’ emotions for the time being. Don’t leave the headquarters unless there’s something really important. I will go with Happy to help our brothers from Righteous Sect and Blood River Sect!”

“Something happened to Righteous Sect and Blood River Sect as well?” Lu Zhentian’s expression changed. He finally realized that something was amiss, and he nodded vigorously. “Alright, don’t worry!”

They looked at each other and quickly moved out of Jade Fox Palace’s headquarters.

“Big Brother Absolute, I’ll go to Blood River Sect. Please lead your people to Righteous Sect!”

“Alright!” Absolute Nonsense knew that Blood River Sect had always been lacking a top-class martial artist, which meant that their situation had to be more dire. Once he nodded without hesitation, they parted ways and headed to the headquarters of the other great sects in Baokang.

When Happy got close to his destination, he heard a bone-chilling laughter coming from the direction of Blood River Sect. That laughter echoed in the air, and it affected the qi in his body. He frowned.

‘He’s here again!’
