240 Heart Devouring Silver Snake (1/2)
There were three things that were of vital importance to sects built in World of Martial Arts.
The first was the land and members of the sect. Whether the location was good or bad would partially determine whether it would rise to glory or fall to demise, and would also affect its reputation to a certain degree. And if the sect's members flourished, they would form the foundation of the sect.
The second was the sect's plate!
The plate might be an inanimate object, but the name, material, and calligraphy of it were all very important. If the name carried confidence, if the material was sturdy, and the calligraphy was from a famous calligrapher, it would demand respect from the people in the game. The domineering air of the words on the plate would also determine the luck of the sect on whether it would be easily destroyed when a person went up to challenge that sect.
The last was the most important, and it was the sect's foundation and cornerstone.
It had to be bought with one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs from the imperial court. Not only was it expensive, it was also a one and only object. This meant that once it was destroyed, it could not be rebuilt, unless the players spent even more money.
Destroying a sect's plate would only deliver a blow to the sect's might and humiliate them. However, if someone destroyed the sect's foundation in the headquarters, that sect would be completely erased from World of Martial Arts. Their land would be taken away at any moment, and all their sects would have their positions stripped off. Its members would return to being nobodies.
When Happy slaughtered his way into the headquarters of Five Venoms, the hundreds of Five Venoms sect members inside had nervous expressions. There were plenty of them in the area, and they surrounded the sect's foundation so tightly that not even a single drop of water could pass.
Yet even so, Happy did not stop moving forward. With a sword with one hand, he stared ahead and left behind a footprint with each step he took toward the foundation. His aura also continued to increase.
The players pushed against each other and motivated each other.
”Why should I be afraid?! He's alone! I refuse to believe that we won't be able to kill him with so many of us here!”
”Let's go!”
”That's right! Let's attack together!”
”Kill him!”
The outermost layer of people protecting the foundation of the sect grabbed their weapons, and thirty or so of them pounced forward. They were finally unable to hold themselves back and were ready to risk everything under Happy's aggressive presence and his oppressive aura.
”Hmph.”
'You want to use a normal sect's method to fight against me continuously and waste away my qi?'
Happy smiled coldly and put away his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword resolutely. His Hundred-battle Sword landed in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a thin layer of aura from Wind Spirit Spin enveloped the blade. Before the group could react, Happy disappeared from the spot. When he appeared among them, they cried out in surprise.
Flowering Knights Slash!
The dark blue saber glare swiftly erupted from the crowd. The players were caught off guard and were sent flying in every direction by a sharp saber glare.
More than half of the thirty or so people instantly died!
There were some of them who were further away, so they were lucky enough to not be knocked back. However, before they could enjoy their luck, a powerful gust of wind came crashing at them, and a dark blue saber glare went past their necks.
They cried out in pain, and a few people staggered before they were sent flying. Then, they crashed into the ground.
Phantasm Body Movement Skill's bizarreness and its element of surprise was brought out to its max by Happy. When he combined it with the various killing techniques from Flowering Knights' Song, he instantly got into the group of disciples from Five Venoms. Not only did the sight make the sect members of Five Venoms even more depressed and nervous, even the elites who were watching by the side grew solemn.
”I see, so we can even do it this way?”
Corpses landed on the ground, and the Hundred-battle Saber crashed into the ground like a heavy weight. Happy looked up again, and when he swept his gaze over the silent Five Venoms sect members, he went forward once more.
”Bastard! Don't even think about it!”
A young Five Venoms sect member rushed out of the crowd with an enraged roar. A black pot was tossed at Happy's head.
Happy said nothing.
He frowned slightly and stopped moving for a moment while he stared at the black pot that came flying at him. He cut it instinctively. Before the pot landed in front of him, he crushed it, and was prepared to use the power of Wind Spirit Spin, which was attached to Flowering Knights' Song, to destroy all the venomous insects inside.
