Chapter 1024 - Empress Yin’s Sword Technique (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since his Tendon Changing Classic reached Grandmaster Realm, Happy’s strength improved by leaps and bounds. This time, when he faced Empress Yin, he was filled with confidence that he would not lose.

However, it was precisely because of this reason that Happy understood something in great gloom. Even Empress Yin, who was at the peak of Myth Realm, would have a hard time making him feel threatened.

Even if he did not activate true origin aura, with just Tendon Changing Classic’s ability to reduce damage by ten percent, he could still fight head on against Zhu Yuyan.

When it came to defense, if he combined Indestructible Body and Tendon Changing Classic, wore a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels, along with his astonishing Affinity, he could already withstand Empress Yin’s attacks.

His Wave-like Subtle Steps was profound and peerless, and when it came to his ability to move around, he would not lose to Empress Yin.

With these two factors, along with Recondite Steel Heavy Sword as well as Great Demonic World Destruction Art, once Happy got out of the Buddha statues, he could already fight on equal grounds with Empress Yin.

Sky Demon Aura!

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword!

Even though when the aura enveloped him, Happy would still slow down a little, he could change his sword momentum in time, and while in a defensive stance, he swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, easily allowing him to block all of Empress Yin’s attacks. After all, the block rate for Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was incredibly high.

“Faction Master Zhu, you don’t need to show any mercy to me.” Happy mocked Empress Yin while he blocked her attacks.

“Brat, I’m going to pull out all your teeth!”

A longsword flashing with cold light was drawn by the illusory and wispy figure. In an instant, it turned into multiple sparks that went flying at Happy from different directions.

Happy felt a little fearful.

He originally only wanted to try stimulating Empress Yin into attacking him. He did not expect that she had indeed been preserving her strength. Before this, he had never heard of Empress Yin using any sword techniques before.

He could already be considered pretty good to be able to force Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan to use a weapon.

At the same time he felt smug, Happy also felt great pressure on his shoulders.

Empress Yin’s sword technique was strange and unfathomable. Its speed was also astonishing, and with Sky Demon Aura, it instantly became much more threatening than before.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword had always been heavy, so his speed could not compare to Empress Yin. Right now, he was in Sky Demon Aura, making him even slower.

Empress Yin’s act of suddenly switching to a sword technique had caused Happy, who was already used to Empress Yin’s fighting style, to panic a little.

‘Fast! She’s too fast!’

Even though Happy spent all his energy into sensing Empress Yin’s sword trajectory so that he could use his full strength to block the attacks, he was restrained by the limitations within Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and Great Demonic Sword Art. Even when he tried to fend against her attacks with everything he had, he could not completely fend against Empress Yin’s offense, and soon, a few bloody gashes appeared on his body.

Thud!

The appearance of the wounds shocked Happy, but at the same time, he could not help but feel a little relieved.

In truth, he had come here this time in search of Shi Zhixuan because he wanted to figure out the profound and unfathomable thing that would only appear between life and death so that he could reach a breakthrough for his Marrow Cleansing Classic, so he had no problems with facing Empress Yin, who was about the same level as Shi Zhixuan. But after his strength increased, he did not feel pressured when he faced Empress Yin, so there was no way he could be immersed in this feeling between life and death.

But right now, after Empress Yin switched to a sword technique, she became even more brutal and dangerous, and she finally made Happy feel a little nervous.

‘I have to gain an understanding! But where is the understanding between life and death?’

When the seventeenth wound appeared on his body, Happy continued blocking Empress Yin’s violent offense as he sensed the changes in his body.

But he was only disappointed.

His Marrow Cleansing Classic was as dark as ever. It was still stuck at Level 1.00 even if he was already drenched in blood and looked incredibly pathetic.

‘Just what am I supposed to do?’ Happy’s forehead was covered in sweat.

Empress Yin and Shi Zhixuan were already the most powerful evil cult elites he could think of in the Chinese server. If he could not sense the profound state of being caught between life and death and reach Mad Monk’s requirements, there might be no one in the Chinese server who could help him push his Marrow Cleansing Classic to a higher degree.

‘Do I really have to die once?’ Happy felt a little helpless.

Suddenly, Empress Yin’s ever-changing and blurry figure suddenly disappeared from around him, and her Sky Demon Aura also vanished.

“Huh?” When the pressure on him was reduced, Happy felt as if the pressure of ten thousand tonnes was removed, and he could move at ease.

However, as Empress Yin appeared with her body being in a state that could be clearly seen on a broken wall, and Happy’s pupils shrank.

Once Empress Yin reappeared, she did not say anything.

Zhu Yuyan’s expression was as dark as thunderclouds, and she looked as if lightning was about to crack above her head. Even after such a long time, she had not been able to kill this Shaolin Temple secular disciple, and this was something she could not accept. It made her incredibly furious.

Her gaze had already turned as cold as ice. She looked down and stared at Happy in a brutal and cold manner.

“Very well.”

Empress Yin’s voice had already become even colder. While she spoke, she gently spread her arms, and the longsword in her hand turned into a black ray of light that caused the air around her to instantly turn dark and much gloomier.

“It has been a long time since anyone forced me to use my sword…”

Happy kept quiet.
