Chapter 1023 - Dafo Temple, Thousand Buddhas (2/2)

He activated Wave-like Subtle Steps, and Happy quietly moved five feet away from her.

Shick!

A fierce claw-generated wind grazed past the place where he previously was. Three terrifying trenches were left on the floor.

“Hmm?”

Empress Yin’s faint gasp could be heard in the air. “Wave-like Subtle Steps…? Are you from Leisurely Sect? No. I see, you’re that one. The Shaolin Temple secular disciple I ran into at Mantuo Villa.”

Dust stirred at the spot thirty-two feet away from Happy, and Empress Yin appeared. There was faint shock on her face as she stared at the young man who avoided her attack.

“You destroyed my plan while I was at Mantuo Villa, but I didn’t think about settling scores with you. So, why are you here at Dafo Temple?”

Happy did not show a single hint of panic or unease when he faced the two most brutal and powerful masters of the evil cult. Instead, he calmly flicked off the dust on his clothes, wrapped his fist in his palm, and saluted her. “Faction Master Zhu, I have been rude to you.”

“Hmph. I didn’t expect that after just a few months, you would have reached the stage where your qi could appear as if you have never practiced any martial arts. It’s no wonder why I didn’t immediately recognize your breathing. You didn’t reveal even the slightest qi. It’s rare indeed that such a young elite like you would have appeared among the current generation of Shaolin Temple disciples.”

“Faction Master Zhu, you praise me too much.” Happy smiled faintly. “If you had not spared me at Mantuo Villa and allowed me to learn Wave-like Subtle Steps through sheer luck, I wouldn’t dare to be preposterous in front of two leaders of the evil cult either. Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”

“Hmph!” Empress Yin chuckled coldly. “You’re young, but you have a sharp tongue. If I hadn’t been deceived by you last time, that wench wouldn’t have been able to destroy the portrait with the secret address to Langhuan Blessed Ground!”

As Empress Yin praised him while cold, murderous intent shone in her eyes, Evil King Shi Zhixuan walked out from behind the Buddha statue and observed Happy in surprise, as if he was reevaluating this youngster who had entered the depths of the Buddha statues alone.

After all, there were only a handful of people who could make Empress Yin suffer a setback.

“Faction Master Zhu, that’s where you’re wrong. Madam Wang’s act of burning the portrait leading to Langhuan Blessed Ground is for a righteous cause. This is something that even I sincerely admire her for and am grateful to her for.”

“Hmph. You used the name of those Murong Clan elites to escape from your disaster that day. This time, I’d like to see just how you can escape from me!”

“Faction Master Zhu, this is a quiet ground for Buddhists, and you shouldn’t create karma for yourself by killing here. If you really must attack him, please don’t do it here—”

“Shi Zhixuan, you’re someone from the sacred ground, but you want to protect these things from those stupid, bald fools? Don’t you think it’s hilarious? Don’t forget, our seniors from the evil cult were the ones who worked together to destroy Dafo Temple.”

Shi Zhixuan said nothing, but he frowned slightly.

Once she finished speaking, Empress Yin did not bother with waiting for Shi Zhixuan to reply to her. She just leisurely vanished from her spot.

Almost at the same time Empress Yin attacked, Happy had already formed multiple strange and varied afterimages. He avoided Empress Yin when she swiftly approached him, and he replied humbly, “I am a Shaolin Temple disciple, and I don’t want to attack you in a quiet place for Buddhists either. If you truly wish to teach me a lesson and give me some pointers, I’ll be willing to fight against you outside the temple.”

When he said this, his voice was already dozens of feet away.

“Hmph!”

Empress Yin’s body was like an airy fog. She chased after Happy tightly while he used Wave-like Subtle Steps as he moved around like an ever-changing wave. Her voice was cold when she spoke.

“That is not up for you to decide!”

In just the span of a breath, some parts of two statues were destroyed by Empress Yin’s palm-generated wind. The broken parts rolled onto the ground.

“That might not be necessarily true!” Happy laughed long and hard before he suddenly turned around to deliver one slash.

Whoosh!

The black Recondite Steel Heavy Sword cut through the air and was just in time to come up against Empress Yin’s unfathomable figure.

Bang!

Martial artists at the peak of Myth Realm would never back down in the face of a player’s attack. Their pride would not allow them to retreat from or avoid attacks, especially the first moves.

Empress Yin’s palm-generated wind abruptly started howling like ghosts and wolves. Then, like a huge black ghost’s face, it crashed violently against Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

Boom!

A loud bang rose, and a violent gust of wind formed a hoop-shaped impact that swept out from the spots where the two exchanged blows.

Dirt flew, and the Buddha statues trembled.

Both were sent flying by a powerful force.

When Happy was at Mantu Villa, Happy was already able to withstand Empress Yin’s attacks for a while, and right now, he had already mastered Tendon Changing Classic. Not only had his defense increased greatly, he also had 10% damage reduction. Hence, naturally, he had an even easier time fighting against her.

Thud!

Happy used a Buddha statue’s shoulder to assist him in his jump, and he flew dozens of feet away like an arrow. His actions were relaxed and natural.

Empress Yin was so angry that she felt like puking blood.

She had been certain that her attack just now could kill Happy in Dafo Temple, and she did not expect that Happy’s strength had already improved to the point that it was actually slightly terrifying now.

The power contained in Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was incredibly great.

When that powerful force crashed into her body, even Empress Yin could not instantly dissolve it, and she was unable to avoid stopping in her movements for a while.

Then, she noticed that Happy had already left her attack range. Empress Yin gritted her teeth. She no longer bothered about the fact that Shi Zhixuan was beside her and just chased after Happy out of Dafo Temple with a dark gaze.
