207 Woolen Robe Swordsman Ji Feng (2/2)
”I knew it. They had decided to form a party together.”
At that moment, Situ Luoyu felt that the pressure on his shoulders had increased greatly. But when he considered it from another angle, he felt that there was something off.
”That's not right. Even with Red Dust joined them, he was injured. It'd be impossible for the three of them to hold back Dead She-wolf by themselves. How did you die?”
”It was Red Dust,” the two answered at the same time and smiled in anguish.
”Even now, we aren't too certain of the details, but something was really off when we entered. It looked like they had some method to see Dead She-wolf, and her abilities had clearly been reduced compared to before. The other two from Happy's party could easily hold her back, so once Red Dust worked together with All-powerful Medicinal Stone, we simply couldn't win against them. By the way, Red Dust seemed to have recovered from his injuries. Once we died, the others should have run away.”
The people outside Guanlin Temple sank into even deeper silence.
Even Situ Luoyu's confidence in killing Happy had begun to waver.
Red Dust had formed a party with Happy, and once his hands were freed, he would definitely pose a great threat to the people outside!
Even though Situ Luoyu did not want to admit defeat and face the truth, it now seemed truly impossible to kill Happy.
So many of their own had died. Yet not only had they not managed to kill Red Dust and Happy, they had even made those two troublesome people form a party.
The progression of events had gone out of his control!
”What should we do now?”
Solitary Perpetual Joy looked at Situ Luoyu, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Even if they headed to Immortal Fox Cave again, they would not be able to reach the depths. More than half an hour was required to move from the first level to the end of the second level, and they also had to take some time to deal with the large number of players outside Fox Cave who were filled with righteous indignation. Those players would definitely block them, and they would have to waste time to handle them.
”What else can we do?”
Situ Luoyu's face was filled with resignation and powerlessness. Right then, their men were still fighting, and they could not receive any messenger pigeons. The sect masters could not give any orders to change anything.
Besides, he had already begun to think about how he would have to report the matter to his hall master after his operation in Fox Cave had failed. He would also have to somehow request for even more core members to fight against Happy.
He had a feeling that Happy already harbored a great dislike toward them. If they just let him become stronger, there was a high possibility that even their Hall Master Dream Clouds, who had now moved to the top of Phoenix Rank, would find it hard to suppress him!
*****
Just when Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy thought about how they should deal with the problems that would surely arise after the disaster, the battle outside the chamber in Fox Cave progressed to a stalemate from its initial intensity.
The people from the two sects had begun to figure Happy's attacks.
Stormy Shadowless Kick had an astonishing momentum, but its damage was not great, and while Happy's saber technique was domineering, its speed was average. If it were not for the fact that his body fortification technique was extraordinary, they might have killed him long ago.
”Team 1, retreat! Team 2, attack!”
Ji Feng had been watching from the side for a long time and taken up the position of commander for the two sects. He stood outside the battlefield and calmly commanded the people to attack and defend with loud shouts.
Under Ji Feng's orders, the players who surrounded Happy gradually became used to the rhythm of the battle. They formed orderly teams and would attack and defend in an orderly fashion. By doing so, they managed to ensure that no more people died.
Every single time a team attacked, there were at least four people whose attacks would land full force on the golden light. Every single time it trembled violently, it became dimmer.
Happy did not notice it in the beginning. It was only when his Golden Bell Cocoon became dimmer and his defense was reduced to a dangerous level that he finally noticed the middle-aged man through the gaps of the crowd. He was standing outside the battlefield and giving commands.
”Ji Feng?”
Among the boundless sea of unfamiliar faces, that familiar face stunned Happy for a moment.
Boom!
A number of attacks struck Happy at the same time. His Golden Bell Cocoon became dim, trembled, and shattered completely. The remaining force of the attacks sent Happy flying out of the crowd and into the wall.
