Chapter 1117 - Lion’s Roar, Fatal Thread (1/2)

Happy slowly turned around in the dark hall and faced the two balls of blinding light that were like the will-o’-the-wisps in the darkness.

The astonishing in the Buddha statue forced him to temporarily stop his plan of continuing to get the silver treasure box. He frowned a little, narrowed his eyes, and sized up the Buddha statue a few times.

Compared to its previous solemn and dignified appearance, once the Buddha statue changed, it turned into a mechanical monster that released a grim and violent presence. Its eyes were locked up on him, and it gave off a pressure that only those who were superior would give off to those who were inferior.

But that was all to its changes. Even though the Buddha statue gave Happy a strange sense of danger, it did not do anything else. It only stared at him coldly while he stood at the center of the hall, and it was like a wild beast that was lying in ambush and was accumulating strength to hunt its prey.

But Happy did not dare to treat the Buddha statue with slight.

The huge net of chains at the fourth level of the treasure house was already dangerous enough that it could easily kill a Myth Realm martial artist. This Buddha statue also did not appear to be a normal object.

Thud… Thud!

Happy solemnly and slowly walked near the Buddha statue, but strangely, as the distance between them shortened, the sense of danger became much weaker.

The will-o’-the-wisps were just two huge, red gemstones serving as the Buddha statue’s eyes. It was just sealed into its eye sockets using a unique material. It was terrifying when he stared at it in the dark while he was further away from it. Due to the distance and the atmosphere in the room, it became incredibly terrifying.

But that ruthless presence did not weaken in the slightest.

Happy observed it carefully for a moment before he noticed that the huge Buddha statue that was more than thirty feet tall seemed as if it had been cast in steel. Even if he used Recondite Steel Heavy Sword against it, it was very difficult for him to deal any clear damage to it. When he saw this, he did not even know what he should say anymore.

He just felt that there was a mysterious and dangerous element surrounding the Buddha statue, and it caused him to feel uneasy.

But if he wanted to destroy this huge thing, he would need at least half a day to do so. Perhaps he could destroy a certain, small, external part of the Buddha statue.

Yet Happy knew that he did not have much time to waste.

He turned around, and Happy could only temporarily squash down the uneasiness and puzzlement in his heart to cast his attention on the silver treasure box high in the air once more.

The difficulty in this treasure house increased once more.

By now, Happy was even more certain that the item contained in the silver treasure box was not normal, and he was even more curious about the box. The urge to unravel the secret with his own hands grew in his heart.

‘No matter what you are, I’m getting that treasure box. If the Buddha statue tries to stop me, I’ll destroy it.’

Happy cast the Buddha statue a glance through the corner of his eye. He stepped against the floor, and a powerful hidden force swiftly crushed a stone tile. Two shattered stone tiles flew into the air and landed automatically in Happy’s palm.

He did not stop in the slightest.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two rather large stone tiles were sent flying in the air at lightning speed one after another. A sword glare swept at then, and Happy rose into the air.

The entire process was done in one single fluid motion. His speed was faster and more decisive than before.

If anyone else were beside Happy right now and saw this scene, they would find it incredibly familiar when they saw Happy’s expression, because Happy had the same expression when he faced Evil Emperor the second time. His gaze was calm, cold, and confident.

Thud! Thud!

At the same time he jumped up, Happy did not ignore the changes in the Buddha statue in the air. He multitasked. While he observed the actions from the Buddha statue, he stepped on the stone tiles and got to a spot that was 131 feet high in an orderly fashion. He quickly drew near the huge net with iron chains and the silver box.

When he saw less than 16 feet away from the net and the box, Happy quickly cast a glance at the condition of the silver box.

One of the four thin and exquisite chains had already snapped. However, the other three iron chains binding it from three other directions still bound the silver box tightly, and it showed no traces of shifting in position.

Whoosh!

He activated Full Winds in Long Skies and Sun Finger.

Since the Buddha statue did not move, Happy would naturally not miss the chance. He used his strongest attack and swiftly attacked. The milky-white finger-generated wind took shape in the air.

When the full power of the fourth realm Full Winds in Long Skies exploded forth, it did not lose to the power of a casual hit from those who were One with the World.

Powerful spiritual energy from the world surged into the finger-generated wind and snapped the second chain on the spot.

*****

“ROAR!”

However, just when Happy charged into the fourth level and attacked, the Buddha statue that had not moved even a single time suddenly opened its mouth, and the roar that was like those of a lion who just woke up swept toward Happy like a tornado sweeping across countries.

This was the Buddhist’s Lion’s Roar!

But this was much stronger than the Lion’s Roar that Shi Huasheng used. The qi wave seemed as if it had substance. It created a circle-shaped impact in the air and instantly went for Happy’s face like a cannonball.

Boom!

He was airborne, and the powerful sound wave from Lion’s Roar crashed violently into Happy’s body like a bulldozer. He grunted, and his true origin aura was unable to block the Lion’s Roar that came from the Buddha statue. His body trembled, and he crashed violently against the wall before he plunged down to the ground from dozens of feet high.

Bang!

As his qi and blood surged, he was unable to properly control his balance, and he crashed against the ground. The tiles were crushed to powder because of it.

But the defense from true origin aura and the strong physical body granted to him after he mastered Tendon Changing Classic allowed Happy to remain alive.

Happy could only count his lucky stars.

‘What a domineering Lion’s Roar!’

If he had not been prepared to retreat when he attacked and swiftly left the fourth level, that Lion’s Roar might have made him permanently killed him at the fourth level, because when he was pushed to the fourth level, he would have to wait for the fate of being pierced through by ten thousand needles!

When he fell from the air, the trap above him would automatically stop shooting. The Buddha statue also shut up and returned to its state of accumulating strength.

When he saw this, Happy gained a vague understanding of what happened.

Unless he activated the trap, the hidden weapons around the huge net of chains would not be fired.

But once he entered the fourth level, the Buddha statue would immediately attack.

The power in Lion’s Roar was incredibly great. It could ignore the defense in Happy’s true origin aura. If Happy had reacted to the situation a little slower, he might have ended up dead.

When he thought of this, Happy found his heart filled with lingering fear. He sat down cross-legged to recover his damaged organs, which were injured by Lion’s Roar. At the same time, he recovered his qi.

Right now, two of the four chains binding the silver treasure box had snapped, and with just two more strikes, he could get that box!
