408 Provocation, Counterattack! (2/2)

Dream Clouds' expression changed repeatedly while she was in the crowd. Her eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be thinking about the possibility of Happy winning by deciphering his arrogant words.

”Oh.”

The matter had happened too suddenly, and Blood Robes had been made light of by Happy in front of many people, so no matter how calm and fake of a person he was, the smile on his face turned stiff and unpleasant. His tone instantly turned cold as well.

”Boy… you sure are confident. You want to defeat me in ten moves?”

A man who cared about his image in other people's hearts would usually not allow anyone to challenge their dignity. As Blood Robes spoke, he could not help but release a great deal of killing intent.

When Happy saw that the fake smile on Blood Robes' face had fallen away and his mask had finally been torn, he felt pleased. He did not hesitate and said resolutely, ”If you don't lose in ten moves, then my skills are simply beneath yours.”

Right after he finished speaking, Blood Robes began laughing coldly in a continuous fashion.

Everyone held their breaths. Even the elites and teachers from the six great system-allocated sects watched the development of the matter with cold gazes. The atmosphere in the area became even graver, and the animosity in the air was so great that conflict could break out at any second.

At that moment, Momo did not forget to add oil to the fire. She stood up and moved to the back so that she could be more than thirty feet away from them.

”Blood Robes, don't worry. It might even be too many if we're talking about ten moves. Hurry up and fight. The quest is about to start.”

Momo's actions finally made Dream Clouds' expression change drastically while she was in the crowd. A hint of unease appeared in her eyes.

”Blood Robes—”

The cry that came from her lips was drowned out by Blood Robes' sudden shout.

”Alright!”

Dream Clouds saw Blood Robes, who was usually calm and willing to face anyone with a smile, lose the elegance he usually had for some strange reason. He lost all control over his emotions. His expression was twisted into a savage look, and his gaze was cold and fierce.

While he spoke, he did so with exasperation and through gritted teeth. ”Some Happy you are. I'd like to see whether that position of yours as the top-ranked player on the Famous People Rank is something you managed to get by boasting your way up there. You want to defeat me with ten moves? How arrogant!”

As he spoke, a powerful qi surged out of his body. The dust in the area flew with an astonishing momentum.

”Blood Robes extended a duel invitation to you. Will you accept it?”

The moment the system notified Happy of the duel invitation, he accepted it without another word.

Once the ceremony for an official duel was completed, even if someone was killed, the characters in the main storyline could not interfere, because they were witnesses.

”Blood Robes.” Dream Clouds could no longer hold herself back. She stood up and walked out from among the disciples of Mount Hua Sect.

Her gaze was cold and awe-inspiring beneath her silver veil. ”What time do you think it is? Why are you acting on impulse here?! Are the matters of the guild are less important than your personal glory and honor? Happy is still young, and it's easy for him to be rash. I can fully understand that, but you're more than ten years older than him, and you're acting so foolishly with him ? Come back!”

When Happy saw Dream Clouds get up, he knew that the situation had changed. He did not allow her to finish speaking. With a tap against the ground, he charged forward at the speed of lightning.

He had finally made Blood Robes angry after considerable effort and caused him to extend a duel invitation himself, so there was no way he would let Dream Clouds destroy everything.

In his previous life, he'd had quite a close ”relationship” with Blood Robes, and he had in-depth understanding regarding Star Sucking Great Skill's battle prowess. With Blood Robes' abilities right then—he had not mastered the technique yet—he would only be able to display a very limited amount of the techniques' abilities. It… would not be that difficult for Happy to kill Blood Robes within ten moves!

However, just when Happy and Blood Robes were about to exchange blows, a voice calling out the name of Buddha reached their ears and snapped them out of their rage.

”Amitabha!”

Happy and Blood Robes stopped moving. They were dragged out of their duel because of that one voice calling out the name of Buddha.

”It is time! My peers in the world of martial artists, we will attack Light Summit and destroy this evil cult in one fell swoop!”

Someone flung a huge vajra, and the shouts for bloody murder swiftly filled the entirety of Mount Huangshan like an avalanche.
