246 The Two Women on Phoenix Rank (1/2)
Once they redirected their gazes, Situ Luoyu and his group noticed that three familiar faces had appeared less than ninety-eight feet away from them. Happy, Little North, and Thunderous Battle pounced on them like tigers who came down from the mountains to attack a sheep pen. In almost no time, around a dozen corpses were strewn at the back of the group, and screams of surprise continued to rise nonstop.
”Bastard!” Situ Luoyu's face went red with rage, and he slammed a fist against the wall beside him. ”Why did you have to appear now, of all times…”
His tone was filled with indignation and anger.
”Damn it, you're going too far with your bullying!”
”I'll fight against you with everything I have!”
When a man with a tanned face who seemed to be a high-ranking member of Fallen Feathers Sect saw that his brothers were being cut down like wheat and that he could not stop the trio from pushing forward, he gritted his teeth in exasperation and asked for orders.
Situ Luoyu might have been angry, but he had not lost his rationale just then.
”You aren't his opponent. Besides, the other two are not easy to deal with either. No matter how many of us there are, it's useless. Tell our brothers to leave behind a group of people to defend us. The others, hurry into the second level at full speed!”
There was logic behind Situ Luoyu's words. He had watched the battle replay of their total wipeout in Fox Cave last time, and even though he did not want to admit it, Happy was someone whom they could not fight. Last time, if they had not relied on advantage of numbers and the commands from Perpetual Joy Sect's Ji Feng, they would have inevitably ended up all dead.
Right then, they were in a tunnel again. Happy only needed to face enemies on one side, so he had absolutely no pressure when advancing!
”This…”
Rage and indignation could be seen on some of the people's faces.
”Why are you stuttering now?! Go! If we continue dilly-dallying, we'll become the second Five Venoms!”
When Situ Luoyu shouted his last sentence, his face was so dark that there seemed to be thunderclouds above him. He did not want to become the second Proud over All Life and be forced to delete his character and quit World of Martial Arts out of humiliation. He would then end up chasing after other people for all time.
”Let's go!”
”Go!”
Once the order was given, everyone finally gritted their teeth and gave up on their companions who were at the tail end of the group. Frequent shouts could be heard as they left the tunnel at full speed without turning their heads back.
Happy and his party soon discovered what had happened.
”Boss! Situ's thinking of running!” Little North cried out loudly in a voice full of delight.
”He won't be able to run!” Happy answered without even turning his head around.
”Big Brother Thunder, Little North, I'll let you take care of this place, I'll chase after Situ!”
Right after he finished speaking, Happy moved like a phantom and left behind an incomplete afterimage on the ground. He stepped on the wall to the left and quickly caught up to the group in front in a bizarre manner.
”Go. Don't worry.”
”Ah! Big Brother Thunder! We're splitting them in half!”
The duo's voices reached his ears from behind him.
*****
Happy had no problem chasing after people in a tunnel with Phantasm Body Movement Skill at the tenth realm, because aside from Situ Luoyu and a few other people who could remain ahead of him, the others only had low-tier lightness skills. Situ Luoyu could escape, but only if he was completely merciless and did not care about the life and death of his companions.
However, with Situ Luoyu's calculative nature, he would definitely not make all his subordinates regard him in scorn for the sake of his own benefits.
When he saw that Happy had caught up to them in the blink of an eye, his heart sank. He immediately knew that things would not end peacefully. He quickly came to a stop and decided to no longer run.
Once Situ Luoyu stopped moving, the others also stopped and turned around. All of them activated their body fortications!
Boom!
Dozens of powerful Mystical Realm auras quickly rose in the tunnel. The group faced Happy, who landed on the ground from the air like an illusory demon. Situ Luoyu's expression, when he looked at him, was extremely cold.
