Chapter 1143 - Fighting Against the Enemy at Equal Strength (1/2)
“Move!”
Happy’s voice echoed in the heart of the mountain. It was loud, and he sounded confident. His intense gaze was fixed on Jian Ao, and an astonishing fighting spirit shone in his eyes.
Jian Ao quirked an eyebrow.
He seemed to have noticed something from the sudden change in Happy’s mannerisms. His pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly glanced at Heaven Crystal before he said coldly. His tone grew darker, “I’ve already told you that I will spare you if you leave Heaven Crystal behind.”
“And I told you to move, and I’ll spare you!” Happy did not relent and took a step forward. His raging fighting spirit burned even fiercer. His words matched Jian Ao’s tit for tat. His resolute tone caused Jian Ao’s expression to freeze, but his gaze just gradually turned cold.
“How preposterous!”
Jian Ao did not relent either. He continued blocking the exit. He spoke clearly, and he was exasperated.
“…”
Happy knew that it was impossible for him to use words to force Jian Ao to retreat. If he did not show his strength, it was impossible for Jian Ao to get rid of his plan to seize Heaven Crystal. He did not say anything else. Right before Jian Ao’s eyes, he put Golden Saber Divine Sword into his Universe Bag and held Heaven Crystal with his right hand.
He had his qi activate the sword, and the chill spreading out of Heaven Crystal instantly became much stronger!
The chill seemed to have a physical form. With Happy as its center, it quickly spread out in all directions. The ground of the moist heart of the mountain was swiftly covered in a thin and white layer of ice. It spread out quickly, and it rapidly went to Jian Ao.
“…”
When he sensed the substantial chill from Heaven Crystal and the dangerous presence that rose from Happy, Jian Ao became even more solemn.
He slowly drew his longsword.
Happy was unmoved by Jian Ao’s cautious and grave action. His qi circulated in Heaven Crystal once, and he sensed how Heaven Crystal seemed to have become one with him. He sensed the strength within Heaven Crystal, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. An even more confident light shone in his eyes.
“Jian Ao, today, I will use your blood as an offering to Heaven Crystal…”
“How conceited!”
Jian Ao snorted coldly. A presence as great as mountains went charging at Happy.
This was a unique ability among those walking down the dao of heaven. They could create a mental pressure by fusing with the imposing presence of the world! All enemies who had their qi activity locked would find their fighting abilities and morale largely reduced.
However, Happy had three Willpower points. This sort of pressure on his qi and spirit could not give Jian Ao any form of advantage.
Happy stood tall like a mountain with his sword. He was not at all affected by Jian Ao and slowly brought Heaven Crystal before his face to observe it carefully.
As expected of an ancient divine weapon.
Aside from offering a large boost to his attributes, the sword itself was long and light. Its edge was also incredibly intimidating. It was even sharper than a fourth-echelon Golden Saber Divine Sword, and it was also much more reliable. It gave Happy the confidence that he could easily cut everything before him!
His qi flowed in the sword, and Happy could clearly sense two exceptionally powerful forces ready to gush out at any moment. These were Heaven Crystal’s sword will and sword qi.
With Heaven Crystal in hand, the difficulty in running away from Jian Ao was completely gone…
In fact, Happy believed that with Heaven Crystal, if he had time, all the elites who targeted Heaven Crystal for years would not pose a problem to him.
Boom!
When he thought of this, a great wave of confidence and fighting spirit rose in Happy’s chest.
*****
The night was cold as cold water. Ever since Happy and Jian Ao’s departure, the area outside the cave became silent once more.
Thousand-faced Human Fox had been abandoned by the two on the beach. At that moment, he was incredibly nervous. With every second he had, he tried his hardest to gather his true qi to unseal his sealed acupressure points. He looked incredibly pathetic.
He was first captured by Happy and brought to this island.
Then, he was nearly killed by Jian Ao so that he could keep the secret. This caused Thousand-faced Human Fox, who loved keeping treasures, to be at death’s door twice in a night. Even though Happy had only threatened him using Chu Liuxiang, to him, that was even more tormenting than dying once.
Because of what had happened, Thousand-faced Human Fox valued his life greatly.
In any case, Heaven Crystal’s location had been revealed. Thousand-faced Human Fox did not want to lose his life for something that was not his. Right now, he just wanted to use the shortest amount of time possible to unseal his acupressure points and leave this place.
The further he was from the island, the better!
Once Happy or Jian Ao obtained Heaven Crystal, the one who did not obtain it might come back and vent their anger on him.
Thousand-faced Human Fox did his best to unseal his acupressure points.
An hour passed by.
Through his hard work, Thousand-faced Human Fox finally noticed that his sealed acupressure points were beginning to show signs of being unblocked.
Thousand-faced Human Fox’s eyes lit up. He did not dare to slack off and was even more serious when he prepared for the final push.
Thud!
His acupressure points were unsealed, and his qi as well as blood flowed through his entire body.
Unable to control himself, Thousand-faced Human Fox rolled on the ground.
“Haha!”
Thousand-faced Human Fox was delighted. He climbed up from the ground. His pathetic gait from before was gone. In his excitement, he lifted his robe and had every intention of leaving the island.
At that moment, Thousand-faced Human Fox’s ears twitched a little. Then, dumbfounded, he craned his neck to look at the area beyond the island.
The faint sounds grew clearer with each passing moment.
Those were the sounds of sleeves fluttering, of feet stepping on waves and water, and barely audible human voices.
