Chapter 819 - First Soul Returning Claw (2/2)
His body shuddered, and under Yu Yan’s astonished gaze, Happy planted his feet firmly on the ground, and he dragged out two trenches that were more than thirty feet long and half a foot deep on the ground before he stopped.
“Don’t come here! I’m fine!”
He raised his hand and stopped Yu Yan from moving forward. While Happy calmed down his surging qi and blood in his body, he slowly wiped off the trail of blood at the corners of his mouth. On his lips was a faint smile that made Zhao Deyan furrow his eyebrows slightly.
“As expected of the Demon General, who is ranked right below the Evil King and Zhu Yuyan. Senior Zhao, even when you attack, you do so in a manner that is different from everyone else.” There was a mocking tone that Happy did not bother hiding in his words.
When he heard this, Zhao Deyan was not shocked or enraged. His voice was indifferent. “You don’t need to mock me either. I am a man of the evil cult, and when I do things, I will naturally not act like all of you disciples from the famous sects who proclaim themselves just. But you did indeed exceed my expectations by not dying or being heavily injured even after you suffered through one of my palm strikes.”
“It’s just a stroke of luck.” Happy raised his chin a little. Even though he might be mocking Zhao Deyan, the cold arrogance he had was completely gone.
Yu Yan, who was familiar with Happy, could sense a hint of anger from Happy’s words. By the looks of it, Happy was already enraged by Zhao Deyan’s words.
*****
In the underground base at the headquarters in Beijing, the glasses man, Li Mei, and the group of employees stared at Happy and Zhao Deyan facing each other on the screen fiercely. Their eyes sparkled with different emotions.
“What happened just now?” The glasses man scowled.
Even though Happy looked a little disheveled based on his expression and seemed to be at a disadvantage, the people who were involved in the fight were not ordinary people, and the glasses man knew that Zhao Deyan will not speak without a reason just to stall for time.
The situation was definitely different from what they saw.
At that moment, the man beside him, who appeared to be the person in charge in the room, tapped the wristwatch he held in his hands and answered expressionlessly, “The First Soul Returning Claw Zhao Deyan used is a martial art in Sky Demon Book. Not only is its damage incredibly high, it also has the effect of using soft qi to injure the target. When the user fights against his opponent, he can directly injure the person’s heart meridian through the force in his palm to largely decrease his opponent’s combat prowess. It can achieve the same results just as the defense breaking ability in sword techniques.”
Right when he finished speaking, the screen quickly zoomed in on the duo.
They showed a close-up of Zhao Deyan’s cloak.
Two holes had appeared out of nowhere on the luxurious and elegant purple cloak, and they were new holes.
“Joined Finger!”
The expressionless person in charge continued speaking, “The ultimate technique from the Murong Clan does not have astonishing damage, but it can attack very quickly, and its main advantage above other martial arts is that it is quiet, and it can catch people off guard. Even Zhao Deyan was struck by it.”
Silence fell among them.
When they heard this, the people in the room instantly understood what happened—Zhao Deyan did not chase after Happy even after he successfully struck Happy because he had been hit by at least two finger-generated wind from Happy.
The group of people instantly fell silent.
In truth, when Zhao Deyan attacked, they noticed they noticed the motions from his cloak. Even though they did not notice the attack trajectory, they still paid attention to it, but perhaps no one else but the person in charge noticed when Happy attacked and when Zhao Deyan was struck.
The glasses man quietly took down his glasses, wiped it, and put them on his face again to watch the fight even more seriously.
*****
Zhao Deyan’s hands remained hidden under his cloak, but his movements cannot be seen clearly. However, he already did not dare readily attack, because he noticed that while the First Soul Returning Claw could injure Happy, it did not injure him as badly as he appeared to be.
The damn brat relied upon the resistance in Nine Yang Divine Skill toward soft palm strikes and used the body fortification provided by Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as a normal body fortification to withstand all the force within his palm strike.
His gaze darkened, and Zhao Deyan grabbed his purple cloak with a solemn look.
Whoosh!
He flung an arm, and the large cloak instantly twisted into a bundle! He grabbed it as if it was a steel bar, revealing the fitting, black, soft armor on him. A mighty and cold presence enveloped Zhao Deyan’s entire body, making him look like a demon who crawled up to the mortal world.
