Shadow Assassin—Yang Xuyan!

At the instant Yang Xuyan attacked, Happy recognized him. When the person attacked, it was with a unique silence, and his Shadow Sword was also something that defined him. Along with his cold gaze that said he could do everything for revenge, all these factors showed that he was the disciple of Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

He was a powerful assassin who specialized in assassinating elites, and he was successful in every kill!

But this time, it was clear that he ran into a wall.

When Yang Xuyan saw the evil cult elder being injured by Zhang Wuji, he predicted that Zhang Wuji would be distracted when the second evil cult elder showed up, but he did not expect that the three Life and Death Realm youngsters who locked down the area would be able to launch a counterattack targeted at him at lightning speed!

The trio had astonishing senses, and they had an inborn wariness toward danger. They had never let their guard down.

Even though the evil cult elder had attracted their attention when he appeared, the trio had been extremely aware of the sense of danger that caused them to be uneasy, and they were paying attention to it!

Happy, One Emperor, and Silver Wolf attacked at the same time!

One Emperor had the fastest sword technique. Once his black sword was unsheathed, it moved like a black bolt of lightning that sliced through the air!

Once a powerful person attacked, they would know whether they would manage to kill. Yang Xuyan gasped in surprise, and his gaze became wary. He changed his sword momentum without hesitation, and a black sword shadow clashed against One Emperor’s black lightning. Both vanished without a sound.

Happy and Silver Wolf pounced on him at the same time!

“Get lost!” Yang Xuyan did not panic.

Even though One Emperor’s strength had shocked him slightly and his plan to ambush Zhang Wuji had officially come to an end, he did not worry. He stood proudly with a fitting black armor, and with a loud whoosh, sword light flashed. A dazzling black light forced Silver Wolf back by dozens of feet in a puzzling fashion.

But Silver Wolf was not someone easy to deal with!

His expression was stern while he struck the air several times with Red Flame Palm.

Yang Xuyan’s eyes sparkled. He watched helplessly as most of the power if his sword glare was decreased in the air. Even though the attack traveled the distance in a flash, when it landed on Silver Wolf’s body in the end, it no longer dealt any damage.

The assassin’s expression sank. It was at that point that he came to realize that he had run into two very difficult opponents. Even though their qi realms were low, their abilities were extraordinary. It was no wonder then why his carefully planned ambush had been seen through.

‘Wait!’

Yang Xuyan’s expression changed!

‘There’s still one more.’

The trio had fixed their eyes on him at the same time. Could it be that the third person’s strength was the same as that of the others?

“Damn it!”

Yang Xuyan turned around quickly, but it was too late. Two palm-generated gusts of wind that had been accumulating for a long time exploded when the third person drew close.

When Happy did the moves Xiao Feng taught him, he felt as if his body was filled with the magma from a volcano. Heat boiled madly within him, and it searched urgently for a place to vent its rage. He could not help but open his mouth and roar before he pushed his hands forward.

“Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets!”

“ROAR!”

A violent dragon roar exploded next to Yang Xuyan’s ears and shook his heart!

When Yang Xuyan saw a large golden dragon charge toward him, his pupils shrank swiftly. He lifted his sword reflexively, and a black sword curtain charged out of his hand in a spiral.

However, he did not manage to block the domineering power of Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets. Happy had poured almost all of his power into that violent attack.

The golden dragon tore through the black sword curtain before Yang Xuyan and ruthlessly shot through his body. Yang Xuyan shuddered, and was sent flying along with his weapon by the remaining power.

Boom!

He crashed into a few houses consecutively and raised clouds of dust before he finally stopped.

The power of the attack was so strong that not only did Silver Wolf, Dream Clouds, Lu Mingyue and the others suck in a sharp breath, even One Emperor and the mysterious evil cult elite who showed up later looked with disbelief at Happy’s pale face.

Vanquish!

Once Happy managed to land a hit, he did not say a word but sat down cross-legged. With Silver Wolf’s protection, he circulated Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill to replenish his largely depleted qi.

Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets was the most domineering and powerful move in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. It could forcefully increase the user’s damage by one fold, allowing Happy, who already had very terrifying eleven thousand points to increase to nearly twenty thousand points, and that was when one did not include his weapon damage.

All that allowed him to strike down the shadow assassin in just one move.

However, the qi requirement for Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets was domineering as well…

That one move alone was enough to drop Happy’s 467 qi points to 267 points! He dropped from Life and Death Realm to the borders of Mystical Realm, and if he used up a little more of his qi, he would drop to Blessed Realm.

“Hiss…”

While Happy circulated Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill, he laughed wanly in his heart. ‘This move is not just domineering. This skill is not something that anyone at the same qi realm as me can execute. In fact, the effects of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm will vanish very quickly.

‘When I fight against my enemies, if I can’t kill them in one move, it’s best if I don’t use it, or else, it’ll be very difficult for me to turn the tables around. At the very least, it’ll be like that in front of a top-class martial artist.’

Once Yang Xuyan was defeated, One Emperor and Silver Wolf did not chase after him recklessly. One Emperor looked at Happy’s figure, and for the first time, his expression showed both incredible excitement and surprise.

“That’s a good palm technique,” he praised sincerely.

When Happy heard it, he smiled faintly. “The same to you.”

If One Emperor had not taken the initiative to attack and attract most of Yang Xuyan’s attention before Silver Wolf lured him to attack him, Happy would not have had the chance to execute the move Xiao Feng taught him—Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets!

When the trio worked together, their teamwork was impeccable!

One Emperor’s interest did not diminish, and he asked, “What is the name of the palm technique you just used?”

Happy was stunned, but he did not bother to hide it. “Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets.”

“Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets… What a move. Its momentum can compare to my fifth slash, but it’s a bit lacking in the speed department.” One Emperor nodded quietly while mumbling to himself/ “When I was on the stage, I gained an epiphany for my sixth slash. I believe that three months later, I’ll be able to understand the seventh slash as well. At that time, we’ll fight to our heart’s content to mend the regret today.”

“Alright! That’s a promise!”

When Happy heard that his Arrogant Dragon’s Regret was only comparable to the fifth slash, he immediately felt a little indignant. His fighting spirit instantly surged out of his body, and he answered without hesitation, “At that time, I will definitely fight against you with my life!”

“Alright!” One Emperor nodded seriously, and a smile appeared on his face, which was something rarely seen on him.

At that moment, the person fighting against Zhang Wuji had finally been saved by the other evil cult elder who had joined the battle. The two elders then fled into the distance, and Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan did not show up again.

The eight people in the area heard the system notification at the same time.

“Ding!

“Figured out the enemy’s whereabouts and made Yang Xuyan as well as the evil cult elders flee. You finished the quest to secretly protect Zhang Wuji and serve as his rearguard. You obtained one point.”

Just as Happy wanted, he obtained one point from the quest, and with the five points he gained from the arena, he had accumulated six points.

But when he thought that the quest had ended, the system notification came again. “You heavily injured Yang Xuyan and obtained an extra point. You’re seen as the thorn in Heaven Mending Dao’s Yang Xuyan’s flesh. The evil cult now intends to get rid of you to be at ease!

“Zhang Wuji’s affection for you has increased by a large degree. All of Ming Cult now views you in a very good light. The righteous sects in the world of martial artists also regard you as a top-class martial artist among the younger generation!”

The continuous stream of system notifications caught Happy completely off guard.

‘This… does not seem to be good news!’
