“Hmm?”

Yu Yan relaxedly killed the group of reconnoiterers who fired the signal flare. But right then, Happy soon discovered a chill that appeared out of nowhere in the dark and cool night. Then, he became on guard as he surveyed the area, and he finally noticed an inconspicuous shadow that nearly escaped his senses while he quietly closed in on Yu Yan and Happy from the distance.

‘Shadow Assassin?’

Happy soon denied his assumption, because the person who came over did not give off that cautious and careful presence that Yang Xuyan had. Besides, he seemed like he was not worried at all that he would be discovered. At the same time he weakened the sounds of air being pushed away, he drew close to them while traveling in a straight line and an incredibly domineering manner.

“Xin, retreat!”

Happy sensed a dangerous presence from the person, and he did not dare be negligent. While he ordered Yu Yan to retreat, he sighed quietly.

As expected, hoping that the main generals from the enemy camp will underestimate him was just not realistic.

But what he did not expect that the first to be lured over was a big fish. The person had on him a fitting soft armor, and he did not look like an elite in the army. Besides, he had a ruthless expression on his face, making it clear that he was an evil cult elite! There were only a few people in the Mongolian army who had that sort of presence and such a dignified air about him. Besides, aside from Demon Commander Zhao Deyan of the eight evil cult elites, there was no one else who had that sort of presence about him.

A violent wind blew fiercely!

Before the duo said anything, a sharp, cold wind cut at their faces.

Happy became vigilant, and he instinctively realized that the situation was bad. His Golden Bell Cocoon shot out of his body!

It was like a large bell that sparkled gold. It flashed out of his body without any signs and enveloped Happy.

Clang!

The golden bell shuddered madly.

While a loud bell toll rose, the golden light at the surface of the golden bell grew much brighter to release light that was as bright as a small sun. Everything in the area was illuminated, and nothing remained in the shadows.

But soon, five black and sharp claw marks were left on the golden bell. The light that grew brighter instantly weakened and became dimmer.

Yu Yan was the only person who saw it, and she saw what happened very clearly.

But she still did not manage to see how Zhao Deyan attacked.

However, Happy used the profound secret in Golden Bell Cocoon to not only successfully avoid Zhao Deyan’s brutal attack, but also quickly widened the distance between them. He retreated to her side and stared at the mysterious martial artist who was forced two steps backward by the rebound when he failed in his attack. He now stood thirty-two feet away from Happy.

“Are you the Demon General?” Happy’s relaxed attitude and how much he looked at ease with the situation made Yu Yan strangely relieved.

The mysterious person spoke, and his cold words contained an inexplicable pressure, causing those who heard to feel their hearts turn heavy.

“Boy, you’re quite knowledgeable. It’s no wonder why you’re able to avoid the First Soul Returning Claw when you’re so young.”

But even though Zhao Deyan said these words, he had become less arrogant than before.

Even though he did not use his full power in his claw strike just now, he still did not manage to force Happy to use profound martial arts at the level of Shifting Stars. He just used Golden Bell Cocoon, a martial art made available to the common folk, to deal with his attack.

“Demon General, you’re the military adviser under the khan, and you have an important position with him, but you chased after us on the plains in the dark alone. Aren’t you being too reckless?”

While Happy sounded like he was being thoughtful for Zhao Deyan, when Zhao Deyan heard it, Happy just sounded like he was mocking him. “You ignorant fool, you truly talk big! The gods will already be considered to be blessing you greatly if you and that girl from a normal sect are able to flee from my hands, and you dare let your tongue run so freely over here? How dare you speak so shamelessly?!”

Happy’s pupils shrank. He noticed that once Zhao Deyan finished speaking, his wide purple cloak suddenly fluttered in an abnormal manner.

Bang!

A fierce qi force rammed violently against his chest.
