Chapter 378: Hall Master of Assassin Hall

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Class One Hall’s branch in Vast Martial City was filled with around one hundred people who stared at the man covered in golden armor outside their headquarters. They looked as if they were facing a great enemy, and when the man drew closer to them, they slowly retreated into the headquarters. Their expressions were stern and very dark.

Most of the people in the branch had been sent out to chase after Happy, since they did not expect that the person they were looking for had not left area of the royal mausoleum. Instead, he had turned around to return to Vast Martial City and stayed inside it for a day and night, right under Class One Hall’s noses.

Even though the people from Class One Hall knew that Happy had died once and his abilities had been greatly reduced, a person who was especially skilled was still stronger than a person who was not very skilled.

Happy’s infamy had long since taken root in their hearts.

When they realized that Happy had been right under their noses and had taken the initiative to come to their doorstep to provoke them, Class One Hall’s members were more terrified than happy, and they did not dare to immediately attack him.

After all, Barren Murderer’s people would need at least two hours to rush back. Thus, the branch’s main goal should be to hold Happy back and prevent themselves from losing their ground in Vast Martial City.

They could not understand, however, how Happy, who should have been at least thirty miles away, would have returned to Vast Martial City safely while everyone was searching for him so carefully. He had done it without attracting anyone’s attention.

When the group sent news about what happened to the other branches and the headquarters, they asked for help from Barren Murderer.

During that time, a silver figure shot out from the crowd and stopped behind Happy lightly.

It was a person in a well-balanced silver armor that was dazzling to the eyes. It covered the entire person in a fitting manner, and there was a Bamboo that covered the eyes and face on their head.

When the person appeared, they immediately caught quite a few people’s attention, and the crowd cried out in surprise.

“Silver armor!”

“It’s him!”

Quite a number of people recognized him. It person “Happy” who had appeared for a brief moment in front of people yesterday. However, since he had arrived beside the real Happy right then, it had to be an impostor.

When the person stopped beside him, Happy did not even turn his head around. “Medicinal Stone, I’ve caused trouble for you.”

“What are you saying?”

The person took off his bamboo hat and revealed a slightly old and cunning face. It belonged to All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who had disappeared for more than a month.

“How could I not be found when Class One Hall is in the area?” he said in a mischievous tone. “Count me in for your fight against their branch in Vast Martial City.”

Happy nodded without stopping. “Alright, this time we’ll fight together.”

This was what happened.

When Class One Hall came to the area of the royal mausoleum to set up their branch, All-powerful Medicinal Stone quickly followed them to secretly scheme against them with Happy in the royal mausoleum.

But he did not expect that Class One Hall would be so intimidated by Happy that they would not even dare to enter the royal mausoleum, so his plan came to its natural death.

However, Happy’s accidental death had shocked All-powerful Medicinal Stone. He immediately realized that it was impossible for Class One Hall to not take action, which was why he took the initiative to contact Happy. He helped him form a plan in which he could attack them after All-powerful Medicinal Stone diverted their attention.

However, what All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not expect was that Happy would still have to kill hundreds of players who chased after him, and what surprised him even more was that Happy gave up on leaving Vast Martial City to return to Baokang to rest and heal. Instead, he stayed an entire day in the restaurant before he attacked Class One Hall.

He was truly gutsy!

While admiring Happy, All-powerful Medicinal Stone took the initiative to return to Vast Martial City, switched to Silver Aquatic Dragon Set in the crowd, and decided to move as well.

*****

“What?”

The news of Happy and All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s appearance in Class One Hall’s branch at Vast Martial City soon reached Barren Murderer. Together with his people, he has stayed for a long time around sixty miles away from the city. At first, they thought that the people from the branch were just joking with them, but once they verified the news, everyone realized that they had been tricked.

“They’re just asking for death!”

[Hold them back!]

“Comrades, let’s go.”

The group summoned their steeds in anger and dashed back to Vast Martial City.

At the same time, Dream Clouds also received the news of Happy appearing in their branch at Vast Martial City while she was hundreds of miles away. She frowned slightly, and her eyes sparkled. No one knew what she was thinking about.

She could only guess vaguely that Happy’s extreme reaction was because he had learned that Class One Hall was about to take revenge on Beautiful Robes Faction for destroying one of their branches.

But the question was, did Happy have the power to take revenge right then?

Dream Clouds pondered it for a moment before she quickly wrote two letters and sent them via messenger pigeons.

*****

The system’s protection of a sect’s headquarters had just passed for Xuancheng.

Blood Robes cast a glance at the letter Dream Clouds had sent him before he quietly crushed it. A relieved smile appeared on his handsome and mature face, and he raised his arm without hesitation.

“Attack!”

The members in the first two rows moved forward a few feet, drew their bows, and nocked their arrows…

But against their expectations…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A dense volley of arrows rose from above the headquarters and instantly fell on them. The first group of archers was forced to scatter but practically all of them still got injured.

However, the equipment of Class One Hall members was pretty good, and their body fortification levels were not too low either. Not a single person died in the first round of attacks.

“They’re just cornered beasts fighting in desperation.”

Blood Robes rode on his tall and big horse behind the group. Upon seeing the injured, a hint of coldness finally appeared on his smiling face. With mockery in his voice, he said, “They’re just a group of amateurs. Today, we’ll give them a lesson they’ll never forget and let them know that professional guilds are not to be provoked easily.”

Class One Hall’s counterattack was incredibly fierce, and the arrows they fired were swift and strong.

One round, two rounds…

Their attack speed was incredibly quick. While taking turns releasing arrows, they also pushed forward. They took each other’s place with great coordination; their teamwork was flawless.

Under Class One Hall’s fierce and frequent attacks, Beautiful Robes Faction’s attacks instantly became much more scattered, and they could fire only less than two-thirds of their original number of arrows.

However, that was still enough to make Blood Robes look at them with slight fear.

He originally thought that once Class One Hall suppressed them with its full force, Beautiful Robes Faction would not be able to hold on and would take the initiative to come out to fight. He did not expect that they would still have the power to counterattack. By the looks of it though, the students had a pretty good leader.

When Class One Hall advanced to less than sixty-five feet away from the walls of the headquarters, they were still unharmed, and their morale rose even higher.

Instead, Beautiful Robes Faction seemed to have been suppressed so greatly that they had no way of fighting back under the increasingly stronger volleys of arrows. Their attacks grew weaker and weaker!

“Hmph! They’re too weak to even serve as competition.” Blood Robes was full of spirit, and he gave a loud order, “Charge!”

Rumble! Rumble!

Waves of powerful aura rose swiftly from the archer camp!

A violent aura swept through the entire area, and as their robes fluttered, countless people jumped into the air. They swung their weapons to parry the arrows that flew at them from the headquarters and charged inside at an astonishing speed.

Countless players who were watching the fight around the headquarters had grave expressions on their faces.

They did not expect that Beautiful Robes Faction would be breached so soon and descend into a cruel and bloody fight.

*****

Within a restaurant outside Class One Hall’s branch in Vast Martial City was a group of Tang Sect disciples. They leaned against the windows with stern expressions while they quietly stared at the gold and silver figures walking into Class One Hall’s branch.

“He is indeed very brave. Happy does live up to his name as the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank.” The person who spoke was Tang Feng, the Tang Sect disciple who had engaged Happy in a violent fight some time ago!

A girl beside him with a pretty face and clear eyes also spoke up. “Big Brother Feng, Happy’s equipment is pretty good. We can’t have the people from Class One Hall take it.”

“Happy will never do something he’s not confident in. Since he’s here, Class One Hall’s headquarters are in danger.” Tang Feng smiled faintly and downed his wine in one go. Then, his eyes sparkled. “We definitely have to take Happy’s equipment, but not now. Assassin Hall isn’t a lightning rod.”

Right after he finished speaking, a white messenger pigeon appeared and landed steadily on his shoulder.

“It’s here.” Tang Feng smiled.
