Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In truth, from the moment they were trapped in the hall, the swordsman’s solitary actions and the astonishing strength he occasionally revealed caused many of the people in the dao of heaven to be wary of him. Even though he had been set up by Happy, the people had noticed that the mighty power and the mystery air from the swordsman in the black armor was quite the threat to each of them.
But the elites in the dao of heaven had very complicated emotions regarding the white-clad teenager who had a low qi realm but had extraordinary strength.
Even though the white-clad teenager also acted alone, he had the ability to do so. He was not unnaturally cold. At the very least, he helped out when the Great Sky Force Formation attacked them, unlike the swordsman in the black armor, who had been preserving his strength all this while and constantly put on a stance where he regarded the idea of attacking with scorn.
In comparison, the white-clad teenager was much more pleasant to the eye compared to the swordsman in black armor. Bi Xuan had harbored the most negative emotions toward the white-clad teenager in the beginning, but now, a lot of the negative emotions he had toward the white-clad teenager had already disappeared.
Right now, when he heard the white-clad teenager mock the swordsman in black armor in his face, Bi Xuan quirked an eyebrow, and while he was surprised by this, he also had his interest piqued, and he was delighted. He discreetly looked at the swordsman in black armor.
Bi Xuan was rather wary of the swordsman in black armor. Ever since he showed extraordinary strength, he attributed the deaths of many of his subordinates in the hall to the man’s mercilessness. Right now, he was definitely happy to see someone causing trouble to the swordsman in the black armor.
At the same time, the ones who were surprised by this and had their interests piqued were Ye Gucheng, Evil King, Empress Yin, as well as Osaya and the old zither player, who formed an alliance with Happy.
This meant that aside from Dongfang Bubai, who was uninterested in Happy’s actions, the others all paid close attention to these two people at this moment.
Right after he finished speaking, the swordsman in blackarmor smiled coldly.
Happy had already activated his spirit sense, and Happy could clearly sense a flash of killing intent under the swordsman’s fanged mask. It was a bone-chilling, cold killing intent that caused fear in people’s hearts.
“How preposterous!
“You’re still wet behind the ears. Do you think that you have the right to talk to me just because you’re hiding behind a woman’s skirt? If I want to take your life, no one can stop me. I’ll let you know that you have to pay a price if you offend me.”
Right after the swordsman in black armor finished speaking, he left behind an afterimage that could not be seen clearly. He disappeared from Happy’s spirit sense.
Happy might be shocked, but he showed no panic on his face.
Even if the swordsman in the black armor showed astonishing body movements, broke free from Happy’s spirit sense right after he moved, and showed strength that was even more astonishing than Bi Xuan, Happy knew that if the swordsman in black armor appeared to be strong while he was angry, he would have achieved his goal.
Besides…
He had Osaya, who was someone who had truly reached the dao of heaven. It would not be easy for the swordsman in black armor to get close and threaten him.
Just as he expected, almost at the moment the swordsman in black armor vanished from the spot, Osaya also disappeared from where she stood.
Bang!
They exchanged a palm strike in the air.
The swordsman in black armor was indeed blocked in the air.
This was something Bi Xuan and the others expected. During the first time the white-clad teenager was attacked by the swordsman in black armor, Osaya also took action. This time, she would naturally do the same.
However, while the people started guessing what sort of relationship Osaya shared with the white-clad teenager, something unexpected happened.
The swordsman in black armor did not seem to have the intention to retreat after he exchanged a blow with Osaya. After they attacked each other once in the air, the swordsman in black armor let out a cold huff, and his body moved like a dragon. His qi flow shuddered. He actually gained a clear advantage during that palm strike. Then, with a remote palm strike, he attacked Osaya fiercely and quickly while she was sent flying backwards.
“Urk!”
Osaya trembled in the air, and her speed while she was flying increased drastically.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
When she landed on the ground, she took seven steps backwards and left behind clear footprints on the ground. After she finally stopped, a clear trail of blood trickled down a corner of her lips.
Once they saw this, the six people in the dao of heaven were shocked. They had originally wanted to enjoy the view of the swordsman in black armor attacking.
Their eyeballs nearly popped out of their eye sockets.
Osaya might be the youngest among the ones in the dao of heaven, but her performance during the Great Sky Force Formation had been praiseworthy. Her strength was not that much weaker than anyone else aside from Martial Paragon Bi Xuan.
Hence, they were all shocked when they saw her being injured right after she exchanged one blow with the swordsman in black armor.
“Hmph!”
Once the swordsman in black armor sent Osaya reeling after one hit, he gave off an even more domineering presence. He let out a cold huff. “You’re a mere spark, and you dare challenge a roaring fire?!”
He redirected his gaze and sent the white-clad teenager a brutal glance. He did not bother to hide his killing intent. “I’m going to let you watch your lover die in front of your eyes!”
Before his voice faded away, Happy received the system’s grave and urgent notification.
“You used Osaya and successfully angered the mysterious elite in the dao of heaven. However, since everyone has made a misjudgment to the mysterious elite’s strength, all the others in the dao of heaven are intimidated by the mysterious elite’s power, and they will not lend a hand to you. It’s best to rely on your own strength now. Work hard and survive as the mysterious elite chases after your life.”
Happy was shocked.
Even though he had asked Osaya to make preparations beforehand to force the swordsman in black armor to use his full strength so that he could create an illusion that he was much more powerful than the others, he did not expect that Osaya would be injured right after she exchanged one blow with the swordsman. It also threw him off his rhythm a little.
But Happy did not panic immediately.
He had Heaven Crystal in his hands. Even if he did not have the strength to fight back. He had no problem in lasting for a while.
