360 Lu Mingyue’s Motives (1/2)

Ting! Ting!

Happy attacked very quickly with his sword.

A blue sword shadow flashed in the air, and the four embroidery needles were sent flying to the sides.

”Don't act like a sissy now. Use your Soft Palm Strike and Shadowless Needle. These tricks are useless.”

Happy had not even moved a single step. Under Lu Mingyue's aggressive attack, he appeared to be incredibly calm and composed, and he gave off the feeling that his calmness was born from his confidence. It made him seem unfathomable.

'Hmph! If four needles don't work, how about eight?'

Lu Mingyue ignored Happy's taunt.

He flicked his wrists, and the embroidery needles shot out.

He also flicked his fingers, and under the guidance of the threads, the embroidery needles swiftly changed their direction. They rushed forth without any sort of pattern before they surrounded Happy to attack him from every direction. Their aggressive presence was even greater than before, and their killing intent overflowed.

The people who watched the fight were all great players on the Dragon Rank, Phoenix Rank, and Famous People Rank. Even though they could not compete with Lu Mingyue or Happy just then, their abilities were not too far behind. They could tell just how powerful the attack was, and they also knew just how great was the danger Happy faced at that moment. They held their breaths and did not even blink, because they did not want to miss even a single scene.

”I told you, it's useless.”

Happy expression did not change. He just sighed softly and moved his longsword.

Lu Mingyue focused and quickly managed to tell what Happy wanted to do. While he was in the air, he pressed his fingers together, and at the same time, he struck the air with his palms twice, forming an invisible wind.

Lu Mingyue's intentions were very clear.

With Happy's abilities, it would be impossible for them to determine the winner of the fight straight away!

Hence, Lu Mingyue decided to fight a war of attrition. He wanted to use the powerful effect of Sunflower Aura to continuously deplete Happy's qi while he fired flying needles from a distance and bothered Happy with his Soft Palm Strikes. The dual attacks would definitely make Happy find himself with too many problems to handle at once, especially since he would also have to restore his body fortification's strength.

When Lu Mingyue whittled away Happy's strength while he himself became more powerful as time passed, he would win.

However, Happy did not even swing his Noble Sword then. He ignored the fatal embroidery needles that came at him from every direction and took a step forward to move two feet away like a phantom. His action was just in time to avoid the two invisible palm strikes.

At the same time, an ancient golden bell appeared around Happy as if it had physical form. The countless embroidery needles stabbed into the granite without any powerful ripples. Instead, they were snapped in half and fell to the side.

The people's expressions changed. 'What a powerful body fortification technique!'

Lu Mingyue's embroidery needles were not easy to receive. They had damage equivalent to Mystical Realm hidden weapons. Besides, Happy did not have any armor on, so it was quite unbelievable that he had managed to block the embroidery needles with just his body fortification alone.

Lu Mingyue was the one who saw what had happened the clearest.

Even though he knew since the start that Happy's high-tier body fortification was incredibly powerful, he was still shocked.

Six flying needles had struck the golden bell, but its light had not become even the slightest bit dimmer!

On top of that, the force that was rebounded to him from the tip of the needles told him that some of the power of his embroidery needles had been negated. Even if he attacked again, his flying needles would not necessarily have any effect on the golden bell.

His heart trembled, and right then, while his guard was down, Happy suddenly attacked in an explosive manner!

He flicked his wrist, and layers of sword lights rose in a spiral. They caught the flying needles and threads that had shot out in the air, and Happy tugged at them.

The scene from the peach blossom forest repeated itself once more!

While he was busy breathing and circulating his qi, Lu Mingyue lost his balance. He was caught off guard, and his airborne body flew toward Happy.

”Damn it!”

Lu Mingyue was very surprised. He struck with his Soft Palm Strikes while he instinctively cut off his connection with the useless embroidery needles and threw Shadowless Needles.

The long period of practice had made Lu Mingyue's skills jump from those of a normal player to the ranks of the true great players. His quick reflexes made it clear that he worked hard on his skills!

Happy praised him in his heart.

While he was under the threat of Shadowless Needles, he swung his sword. Light flashed, and he retreated with a jump. He stopped chasing after Lu Mingyue, and the Shadowless Needles stabbed into the ground before they vanished without a trace.

It was dangerous, but it was not so dangerous that it was worth mentioning to others.
