452 Climb the Tower! (1/2)

When the six great system-allocated agreed to send Song Yuanqiao to sneak into Eternal Peace Temple at night, Happy had a gut feeling that the quest would not progress smoothly, because in the original work, Song Yuanqiao was one of the people detained in Eternal Peace Temple. Song Yuanqiao's act of volunteering himself for the night invasion might have been a trap and an arrangement made by the system to create a hopeless situation.

Fortunately, Happy had noticed that he could not change Song Yuanqiao's fate of being captured, and he followed behind him. Just as expected, he saw Eternal Peace Temple descending into chaos, and many Inaction Realm martial artists left the tall tower to surround Song Yuanqiao above Mahavira Temple.

That was the balance provided by the system.

The two Inaction Realm martial artists were Happy's greatest leverage for completing the quest.

Since the system had decided to irresponsibly take away one of them, it would naturally give him some compensation. Happy had come to that conclusion based on the experience he had over the three years he had spent playing the game. It was also because of that experience that he could catch the sliver of a chance given to him to complete the quest.

Happy did not hesitate.

He did not know whether he was risking everything for nothing, but he was sure that since the quest had progressed to this state, he had already become one of the characters. He had to go regardless of whether it was for the six great system-allocated sects or for the ”chivalrous” heart he had within him.

He had to take a step forward despite the fact that there was a possibility of him stepping into hell.

Happy was dressed in night traveling clothes, and he bypassed many patrolling Yuan Dynasty soldiers without being noticed. Song Yuanqiao had attracted most of the enemies' attention, so Happy reached the tall tower without much trouble.

He threw a silent grappling hook from within the shadow behind a stone tower in a familiar motion.

He hooked one end to a corner that protruded out of the third floor of the tall tower while the other was tightly secured to the top of the stone tower.

Happy flew up without hesitation.

The rope rose diagonally!

Every single time Happy tapped against the rope, he covered more than thirty feet. In the blink of an eye, he landed on a tile of the tall tower, but against his expectations, before he could gain his footing, he came face to face with two Yuan Dynasty soldiers who were watching the fight.

They were all stunned silent, and three pairs of eyes looked at each other at a loss.

At that moment, cold sweat instantly broke out on Happy's back.

'Damn it!'

Yellow light flashed, and he formed his hands into claws.

Double Dragon Capture!

Happy shot out like a phantom from the darkness and moved through a small window at lightning speed. He then fiercely grabbed the Yuan Dynasty soldiers who had opened their mouths in preparation to shout their warning.

When he caught hold of them, the two Yuan Dynasty soldiers were like chicks who had their throats seized. Their bodies became stiff, and they could not use even the slightest bit of their strength. They could only watch as Happy straightened his palms and cut their necks open.

Thud!

Their frail necks were cut while they were completely unguarded, and the two Yuan Dynasty soldiers fainted. Their bodies fell limp on the ground.

Once they were out, Happy noticed that his back was drenched in cold sweat. No matter how bold and reckless he was, this was no laughing matter.

'Just a little more, and I would have run into great trouble. If it weren't for the fact that I have a lot of experience, once those Yuan Dynasty soldiers opened their mouths, I would have died in Eternal Peace Temple.'

Happy turned his head around and met the gazes of the Emei Sect female disciples who had witnessed the entire scene with bated breath.

The Emei Sect disciples had also broken into cold sweat.

They had heard the loud shouts outside as well as Zhao Min's shrill orders, and they knew that something had happened, which was why they had been paying close attention to the reactions of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers as well as the situation outside the window.

However, they did not expect that they would witness the dangerous and terrifying scene of Happy meeting the Yuan Dynasty soldiers.

Mistress Annihilation, Zhou Zhiruo, Ding Minjun, and Bei Jinyi were all shocked!
