330 Shadowless Needle (1/2)

Blood River Sect's headquarters were filled with corpses, and blood flowed down in rivers.

A faint bewitching laughter affected the circulation of qi and mobility of all Blood River Sect members. But the moment Happy drew his sword and stood in front of them, their morale increased, and they stopped Cold Moon Palace's advance even under Sunflower Aura's effect.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Lu Mingyue, who hung in the air with an unpleasant expression. They also stared at Happy, who stood on the ground proudly with his sword and whose aura seemed rather monotonous in comparison.

A solemn atmosphere swiftly spread out between the two of them. It was especially strong around Lu Mingyue. When Happy made a clear stance and showed that he wanted to fight for Blood River Sect, his expression turned very dark. He retracted his long and pale palm back into his red robe, and the fierce look in his eyes became clearer.

At that moment, Lu Mingyue no longer sought to investigate the details behind why Happy and Blood River Sect had decided to reconcile. He believed that the two parties had to have formed an alliance based on some benefits. Otherwise, Blood River Sect's elites would not have rushed back so quickly to support their headquarters.

”If that's the case, then very well, I also want to witness just how much you've improved in a month.”

While looking at Happy from high above, Lu Mingyue gently swiped at his lips with his sleeve. His long and narrow eyes, which were covered in eyeshadow, looked like two beacons of light that suddenly shone in the darkness.

Even though Happy was very famous and showed faint signs of surpassing those on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks through the first person pay-to-view battle replay system, Lu Mingyue did not care about all that.

He had witnessed Happy's abilities in close-quarter combat before, and he knew that Happy had mastered an ultimate technique. Hence, during his experience in the first person battle, he was not shocked like the others. He had only analyzed the fight.

Happy's abilities seemed to have improved since the time they fought in the peach blossom forest, but he did not seem to be too different. Aside from the final move that was rather eyecatching, the other small tricks were all things that Lu Mingyue himself could execute.

Meanwhile, over the past month or so, Lu Mingyue had practiced hard to completely inherit Dongfang Bubai's legacy. He even had his girlfriend help him put on makeup. Not only did his qi realm improve at an astonishing rate after that, his divine skill reached a much higher realm.

Hence, even if he faced Happy, Lu Mingyue did not feel too much pressure.

Suddenly, Happy frowned. He swiftly brought his Noble Sword up before him in a horizontal position without any prior sign that he was going to do so. His arm trembled, and the clear sound of metal clashing against metal rose. A spark shot out from Noble Sword.

Ding!

”Your Needle Tide has already went from being visible to invisible?” Happy frowned and looked up to cast Lu Mingyue a glance. He was shocked in his heart.

Lu Mingyue was also shocked.

The second profound secret of Needle Tide gave the user the ability to kill their enemies without a sound, especially when the target was in Sunflower Aura and under the effects of the user's demonic sound. The enemy would not be able to notice the needles at all, and even if they noticed them when they were about to touch them, they would be too slow to defend themselves.

Lu Mingyue's intention was to use Needle Tide to destroy Happy's Golden Bell Cocoon and injure Happy's qi. However, he did not expect Happy's sensitivity to have become so strong.

The clash caused both sides to increase their wariness in secret.

”It is impolite not to reciprocate! Take my attack as well!”

Happy laughed long and hard, and with a tap against the ground, he stepped on the corpses on the ground. In an incredibly strange manner that defied the laws of gravity, he rose slowly with his sword pointed at Lu Mingyue.

On his way, a qi whirlwind was formed. It quietly negated the effects of Sunflower Aura, and he became faster as he rose!

Lu Mingyue felt the dejected feeling of being targeted by the bane of his existence once more.

Every single time he executed Shadowless Needle, he would use up a lot of qi, and he could not use it repeatedly.

Normal flying needles could not break Golden Bell Cocoon. Hence, when he saw Happy fly toward him in such an arrogant manner, Lu Mingyue felt as if he had been caught in a trap.

But he was forced to continue fighting.

Cold Moon Palace and Blood River Sect's members were all on the ground, so there was no way he could immediately avoid him when Happy had just attacked him.

Lu Mingyue snorted coldly and braced himself for going up against Happy. He intended to use his Sunflower Aura to fight against Happy for some time while the other's speed was affected. Once the situation turned chaotic, he would look for a chance to strike with his Shadowless Needle again.

But what he did not expect was that Happy's body would continue to speed up while he was in the air!

In the blink of an eye, he rushed close to Lu Mingyue as if he was completely unaffected by Sunflower Aura.
