526 Overcome Difficulties on the Way (1/2)
Chen Youliang might be a Beggar's Sect elder, but he was not very strong. His main strengths were in his intellect and his methods. Happy was not at all wary of him.
However, what made Happy concerned was that Chen Youliang had entered Spirit Snake Island multiple times for Dragon Saber. He used all sorts of traps to kill Xie Xun, but in the end, Dragon Saber landed into Happy's hands.
Chen Youliang might have come up to the arena on behalf of Huang Rong to force him to use Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, and he might also have the intention to ask him about Dragon Saber's whereabouts.
Chen Youliang landed on the arena while dressed in rags, and he wrapped his fist in his palm to greet Happy in a very friendly manner. ”Young Swordsman Happy, your name has spread far and wide among those in the righteous path because of the battle at Eternal Peace Temple! I admire you greatly, and it is my honor that I am given the chance to fight against you today.”
”I only have a crude knowledge about barehanded combat, so I cannot bring it to the table. I will not embarrass myself before you and the other heroes.”
Happy refused Chen Youliang's suggestion to fight against him using only his fists, but he did not reject him coldly or in an unyielding manner. His tone was calm, and his expression was as usual. He did not appear to be smug because he had become excited or that his emotions were surging.
”If that is the case, I will not dare to be careless, and I will use Dog Beating Staff Technique that belongs to Beggar's Sect. I would like to use this technique to verify the strength of my martial arts.”
Chen Youliang was also someone who could adapt to any situation. When he saw that he did not manage to make Happy excited, his tone changed, and he slowly brought out a thin and black staff from his bag.
Dog Beating Staff Technique…
Even though it was also considered an ultimate technique from Beggar's Sect, when it came to ultimate techniques passed down within a sect, they could be passed down through oral form or technique. The latter might be more ingenious, but if the user did not have the sect master personally teaching them the incantations, its might would be greatly reduced, and they could only be considered to possess a supreme-grade martial art.
The Dog Beating Staff Technique Chen Youliang had should be something that only had its form, but not its spirit, or else, a martial artist with Dog Beating Staff Technique would definitely be a powerful and famous martial artist who was at Inaction Realm.
”Please.”
Happy calmed his heart, then pushed down on his sword before he held his breath quietly for Chen Youliang's attack.
”HAH!”
Chen Youliang attacked.
Whoosh…
Dog Beating Staff Technique was much more ingenious than Silken Web Hand. The staff shadows might have seemed to be coming at Happy slowly, but they were actually very fast. They changed multiple times, and if he was the slightest bit careless, he would definitely land in a situation where he would have no way to avoid being hit.
Right from the start, Happy looked as if he had been forced into a disadvantage by Chen Youliang. He never even drew his weapon. He chose to dodge and parry for the most part.
Chen Youliang was testing waters at the start, and gradually, his momentum changed. While Happy moved about left and right to dodge, Chen Youliang continued closing in. The staff shadows slowly became denser, and a faint ferocity as well as killing intent filled the attacks. They whisked past Happy's body as he dodged and moved about, becoming fiercer and more merciless with each second.
”Young Swordsman Happy, you're refusing to draw your sword even now? Are you looking down on me?!” Chen Youliang shouted out while attacking.
Happy said nothing.
The Murong Clan Lady frowned while at the foot of the stage.
Huang Rong was filled with excitement as she remained quietly by the side. A faint smile curled up on her lips.
She was very pleased with Chen Youliang's performance. It was the effect she wanted—a complete suppression through an overbearing and aggressive fighting style. If Happy did not want his progress to be halted on the big arena, he would definitely have to reveal a stronger attack!
Huang Rong raised her chin slightly when she saw that Happy was forced to retreat repeatedly under Chen Youliang's persecution while swinging his Nation Protecting Divine Sword to parry Chen Youliang's attacks. She also noted that he was slightly hasty in his movements as he retreated.
She had a feeling that Happy was about to not be able to hold back anymore!
'Go on, attack.' Huang Rong stared at Happy's actions with great excitement. She did not even blink so as not to miss even a single moment.
