Chapter 1139 - Chu Liuxiang? (1/2)
“Who is that?!”
“He’s so fast!”
“Someone else is coming… Wave-like Subtle Steps! It’s Wave-like Subtle Steps!”
“It’s him?!”
Two figures moved through the streets and alleys in Beijing. One of them chased after the other, and they were as quick as lightning. When they moved passed, they only caused the barest flaps of the sleeves from the clothes the people around them wore, and their movements were barely audible, even so, they still caught many powerful martial artists’ attention.
Many people had even managed to recognize the person using Wave-like Subtle Steps, and once they did, they became so excited that they jumped up the roof, and they looked into the distance, with their eyes locking down at the figure who was moving like a phantom from the crowd.
“Happy?”
“That’s Happy!”
“Who is he chasing?”
The people started discussing among themselves.
Some of the more ambitious people had even discreetly chased after Happy in the direction where he disappeared to.
Many people did not forget about the sudden and major change Happy brought to World of Martial Arts one day ago. A sect master died, two elites walking down the dao of heaven showed up, and the ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal, was unearthed. All of them tugged at the players’ heartstrings.
“Sword Sect’s master was nourishing Heaven Crystal at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, but the sword was stolen. Is Happy currently chasing after the person who stole Heaven Crystal?” By the time most people realized what was going on, they lamented over their loss of a good chance, and they sighed, feeling incredibly worked up. “The heck. This is such a good chance, and I completely wasted it…”
“What chance are you talking about?”
Someone in the streets cast him a cold expression.
The people who had been lamenting just now instantly shut their mouths and said nothing.
Right now, there were more than two hundred thousand Lovely Land members in Beijing. If they continued lamenting about losing their chance to get Heaven Crystal, they might end up with a lot of trouble in their hands.
“Boss, let’s follow him quietly to take a look.”
Some people communicated to each other through their eyes in secret and discussed the matter through private messages, “That’s Heaven Crystal we’re talking about. We might have the chance to pick it up.”
“Pick it up, my foot. Stop daydreaming.” But there was also a person who was still rational among the group. He snuffed out their dreams mercilessly. “Aren’t you dreaming too much to be thinking about stealing things from Happy?”
“I’m not asking you to go up against him, boss. We’re just watching by the sided. Happy might lose track of it…”
“Lose track of it, my foot! Happy has Wandering Know-it-all by his side! The only one who’d be losing anything is you and your head! Enough with it! Stop thinking of these stupid things. We’re training!”
The group walked out of a corner of an alley. Following behind them was a young man who was using his hand to cover his rather swollen face.
*****
Boom!
As a loud bang that came out of the blue rang, the hole was punched out of a wall in a restaurant. A black figure shot out of it like an arrow fired from an arrow. While everyone watched him, he rushed into the street. Before anyone could react, he moved into the crowd like a phantom.
“What’s going on?”
“Who would dare to cause trouble in Beijing?” The people looked at each other at a loss.
But someone soon looked up and saw a figure moving even faster. He flew over the street, and in an instant, he disappeared.
More than one hundred players arrived on the roofs after him.
In the distance, they saw a cloud of black smoke that was dozens of feet wide appear in the air of a street in the distance. There was chaos in the area. Their companions quickly left into the distance as the sounds of tables shattering and walls crumbling rose.
“…”
“He sure is causing a huge ruckus…”
*****
Similar events happened nonstop in Beijing.
For a period of time, Beijing was in chaos!
This lasted for around ten minutes. When the forces from the imperial court were about to interfere with the situation, the two people finally rushed out of the city gate one after another. They left Beijing.
Beijing gradually regained its peace.
*****
These two black figures ran about wildly in the darkening wilderness. One of them was ahead of the other. They were like two shooting stars traveling across the horizon.
Whoosh!
“Urk…”
Happy’s expression grew more solemn, and his fighting spirit started burning.
This was the first time he ran into such a stubborn and powerful enemy. He had already activated Wave-like Subtle Waves for more than an hour and chased after this person for more than an hour, but he never let Happy have a chance to catch him.
Once he entered Inaction Realm, Happy was already confident that his body movements and speed would not lose to any sect master, but today, he had indeed run into a powerful enemy.
He was too fast!
Even if Happy took an Origin Leopard Pill, his speed only allowed him to maintain their current distance and make sure he would not lose his target. Also, if the man had not continuously used all sorts of tricks to try and shake Happy off, with his lightness skill and speed, the man should have originally widened the distance between them by a significant degree.
It was no wonder why this man was able to steal Heaven Crystal so discreetly while he was at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. In fact, he had done so without leaving any traces.
“I’d like to see just who you are.” Happy might feel troubled when he ran into this sort of enemy, but he would much rather learn just how troublesome was the series of quests related to Heaven Crystal.
For a full two hours, Happy’s qi continued circulating in him in endless waves. His speed remained at its peak condition at all times so that he could chase after the master thief. He chased after him from Beijing to a small, nameless lake.
Waves traveled on the surface of the lake.
The thief did not hesitate at all when he was within the area of Happy’s spiritual senses. He jumped on the lake and its waves.
Thud! Thud!
The thief’s frequency in stepping on water was incredibly fast in the dark. The calm, sparkling surface of the lake was instantly destroyed. Splashes flew everywhere, and soon, he went into the distance.
When Happy arrived by the lake, he could not help but frown for a moment.
But when he saw that the thief was about to disappear from the area of his spiritual sense, in the end, he still chose to continue chasing after him on the water.
Thud thud…
Cone-shaped ripples were drawn on the water once more. They stretched to the center of the lake like arrows.
*****
The thief’s speed on water was clearly much faster than Happy. After a few minutes, he completely vanished from the area of Happy’s spiritual senses.
But Happy did not mind.
