Chapter 901 - Zhentian Goes Up The Stage (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The trio in the pavilion can tell from the vague figures who popped up on the stairs leading up the mountain trail and by how they quickly grew clearer in their vision that they were all Class One Hall members. Their equipment was great, and they had an extraordinary presence about them.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The group of people moved very quickly. They split to the sides, and swiftly surrounded the pavilion from the distance. They moved lightly and agilely, not making a single sound as they did, as if they were worried that they will alert the people in the pavilion.
In the time taken for Happy to lift his wine cup, a dense wave of hundreds of people surrounded this quiet and elegant pavilion which was built for the purpose of providing shade. Their encirclement was so tight that not even a single drop of water can get through.
“The people from Class One Hall sure came fast.” Wei Zhentian only frowned a little, and he seemed to be slightly displeased with Class One Hall.
Happy naturally knew the reason behind his displeasure. He said nothing about it and smiled without even turning his head around. “They’re considered late. Didn’t you arrive even earlier, Sect Master Wei?”
“Looks like you are still on guard against me, Brother Happy.” While Wei Zhentian sighed in regret, he said, “If I work together with Class One Hall, Mu Clan will… Allow me to say something unpleasant, but if I worked together with them, you might be dead in my hands.”
When he mentioned the last few words, his smile was still as gentle as ever, and no one can sense even a hint of killing intent from him.
“Is it?” Happy did not seem to have noticed the aggressive tone in Wei Zhentian’s words. He lifted his wine cup, and his expression remained indifferent. His actions were also calm. “Just like what I previously said, I will not drink today’s wine, but will use it as an offering.”
As he spoke, he stood up with his hand holding the pot. With the other, he held his cup and walked out of the pavilion under Wei Zhentian’s calm gaze. Then, right in front of the Class One Hall members, who had complicated expressions, murderous looks, and wary faces, he bent his back, faced the north, and slowly poured his cup of wine on the ground.
“This first cup will be an offering to the millions of heroic souls on the plains!”
In an instant, the fragrance of wine filled the air.
The people from Class One Hall did nothing. Hundreds of people just watched Happy slowly fill his second cup without making a sound.
Who was the person in front of them?
He was the strongest player the people agreed in their hearts to be the strongest in the Chinese server, the leader of the strongest power in the Chinese server, and the number of Class One Hall elites who died in his hands was too numerous to count.
Hundreds of elites were killed when thousands of them went to kill him while he went to Beijing. Thousands of people surrounded him at Mount Song, and with two moves, he killed Zhou Yu.
He also led twenty thousand people and thousands of Mongolian cavaliers to mow down Class One Hall’s tens of thousands of people on the plains.
Yesterday, Class One Hall had a few of their branches emptied, and nearly ten thousand people died in battle. Clearly, it was because of this person as well.
And only Happy was capable of being on a rampage in the territory of the greatest faction in the north, and still make Class One Hall treat him with such seriousness.
Happy’s voice rang once more. “The second cup will be for those who died in my hands within this month. I hope that all of you can be freed from purgatory at the holy land of Buddhists.”
When he heard the underlying meaning in Happy’s words, Wei Zhentian, who had been as stable as a mountain all this while, was finally unable to help himself but to cast Happy a sidelong glance. A faint, cold expression appeared on his face.
When Happy poured his third cup, his eyes finally landed on the Class One Hall members who had remained silent for a long time, and he said softly, “The third cup is an offering to the sword and for all of you from Class One Hall!”
Boom!
Class One Hall was originally calm, but they instantly burst into commotion!
Rage instantly filled their faces, and many people were nearly unable to hold themselves back from rushing out of their group.
So arrogant! He was too arrogant!
While Happy lifted his wine cup in the distance, bent his back and poured the contents on the ground, the Class One Hall members around him could no longer watch it. They cannot help but to attack.
Among the group were members with their waists packed full of hidden weapons pouches. They quickly looked at each other, and with extremely quick movements, they brought out three different hidden weapons.
Butterfly Darts flew in the air at differing speeds like butterflies with their wings spread open.
Funeral Needles brought with them the piercing sounds of ghosts crying and shrieking.
With six Boomerangs that flew in different trajectories, they instantly formed a cage that surrounded the area, and all of them went to Happy, who stood outside the pavilion.
Even Wei Zhentian, who was inside the pavilion, could not help but praise but give praise when he saw Class One Hall’s attack for the first time.
Their timing was impeccable, it was at the moment when Happy bent his back and was full of openings.
Also, the movements from the two people were different from each other, but their attacks were incredibly vicious. Right from the start, they used Butterfly Darts, which moved in a manner that was difficult to grasp, to grab most of Happy’s attention. Then, they used Boomerangs, to create a cage for their attack as well as build momentum. There was also their poisoned Funeral Needles, which helped conceal their real killing weapon with their piercing wails—six soundless needles which were as fine as hair and could break defenses.
Their cooperation was flawless, and even some of the top-class elites in the game might suffer a huge setback if they were careless. This time, the people who came from the distance to kill Happy were indeed the top of the crop within Class One Hall!
Class One Hall had indeed decided to go all out to kill Mu Clan’s greatest spiritual leader.
Everything might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but it actually happened in a flash.
Just when Wei Zhentian was prepared to watch how Happy will handle the situation, he saw Happy retain his pose of bending his back to pour wine, but an invisible momentum swept out from his body.
The Boomerangs that came from everywhere miraculously circled round Happy. Then, without even touching his sleeves, they shot even faster back toward the two people who tried to ambush Happy from Class One Hall’s crowd.
At the same time, those Butterfly Darts, Funeral Needles, and the six needles as fine as hair that can pierce through defense also went back from whence they came.
“Shifting Stars… What a technique!” Wei Zhentian’s pupils shrank.
Class One Hall naturally will not allow those hidden weapons to hurt their own people. The people with great skills in using hidden weapons will usually not be very good at avoiding hidden weapon attacks at the same level executed against them. The people nearby shouted at them to stop attacking.
Right when the people nearby were ready to attack, they suddenly grunted in pain at the same time, and they froze in the execution of their attacks simultaneously.
Thud thud thud!
They took a few staggering steps back, and they coincidentally exposed the two hidden weapons experts who had attacked to ambush Happy. Now, they were under fire from dozens of fierce hidden weapons.
Short cries of pain rose.
Those Funeral Needles, Butterfly Darts, Boomerangs, and needles as fine as hair all went back to the two hidden weapons elites. Their faces and bodies were covered in those hidden weapons, and they were too miserable a sight to bear.
