The ground before Happy was covered with more than one hundred throwing knives that were placed close to each other. Then, Happy slowly brought out a pair of jade green gloves that exuded a cold air—Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks!
The thirty or so powerful Blessed Realm fighters from Class One Hall came with an aggressive presence. Their methods showed that they were very experienced. Clearly, they came with preparation, and they also forced Happy to face them with everything he had.
In his previous life, after three years of hard work, Happy’s understanding toward martial arts had reached a certain degree. He could match up to the various top-class fighters at that time, but as of then, he still had yet to reach that state.
He did not have the various high-grade high-tier martial arts he had in his previous life, his Phantasm Body Movement Skill—which was not at all inferior to the ultimate techniques, so much so that it even allowed him to get Arhat Body from Fire Dragon Cave—and his diverse set of weapons that surpassed the level of masterpieces.
But at the very least, he could rely on his experience in fighting against numerous enemies!


However, it would not be easy for him to fight against thirty or so professional gamers who had minds of their own and supernatural control.
So, he had to make full use of the advantage given to him by Iron Chain Bridge.
He seized the lancet knives. The familiar feeling that came from the blades and their slightly lower temperature refreshed Happy’s mind. He instantly entered a state where his mind was as calm as water in an ancient well.
He shifted his gaze, and his eyes landed on the members of Class One Hall who had entered the fog.
Happy sighed. For the first time ever, he regretted not using some time to practice bow skills!
The range of throwing knives would increase with the user’s qi realm, which was why their lethality was limited during the early stages. The greatest damage a person in Blessed Realm could throw them was less than one hundred and sixty-four feet. If Happy relied only on throwing knives, it would be very difficult for him to pose any threat to the people in the white fog. He would not be able to stop their advance.
The only thing that he could consider as fortunate was that while the group had used snake tendons to reduce the degree of the swaying, under the effect of the great mountain wind and white fog, it was very difficult for them to be of any substantial threat to Happy as well. Otherwise, the sect members with bows and arrows alone would be able to make him fall from Punishment Mount.
Happy was a person who would try his best to think of things in the best way possible, but he would also never give up on considering what he should do if the worst happened.
The people on the Iron Chain Bridge soon cleared the foggy area!
When the two people in the lead walked out of the white fog, Happy frowned. The qi that had gathered on his throwing knives weakened until it vanished.


The reason why he did that was because the two people who walked out of the fog held sturdy shields that could protect most of their bodies. They appeared to be tough enough to block powerful bows, so they could easily defend against throwing knives.
‘Class One Hall, you live up to your name.’
Happy’s situation became worse, but he did not show any signs of panic. He continued to sit by the cliff, as if the world around him was calm, while watching the people from Class One Hall cautiously advance.
It had to be said that the methods Class One Hall used were indeed perfect. They gave off a pressure that they could force a person into a corner and make it so that the person could see no way out of the situation!
But the more they acted like that, the more Happy remembered the actions of
that person
.
When his enemies were ninety-eight feet away from the cliff, Happy suddenly spoke a baffling sentence before he stood up.
Is this a declaration that you won’t give me a chance to fight back and break free of this situation?

He then placed his palms together, and knives appeared in his grip!
At the same time, he looked at the duo who walked at the forefront with a cold and attentive gaze.

Archers!

Netherworld stood in the middle of the group. When he saw the blue-robed figure, he gave a command, and four people at the back of the group brought out their bows and nocked their arrows. They aimed at the cliff in front of them.


If this was any other time, they would have been able to finish their actions in no time.
However, they were on Iron Chain Bridge, and there was an abyss that stretched thousands of feet below them. Their psychological burden was very great, and they could not gain a solid footing. With the mountain wind affecting them as well, their agility and reaction speed dropped by a lot.
When they finished, Happy had already flung his knives! Under the group’s astonished gazes, they cut toward the iron chains!
The group was so shocked by the sight that their hearts instantly froze, and they found themselves unable to speak.
Can Iron Chain Bridge be cut off?!
The iron chains of Iron Chain Bridge were as thick as a grown man’s arm. It was because of it that Class One Hall did not take into account the possibility of someone being able to cut them.
If it happened, they would become a huge joke!
Hence, even though they were very confident of the sturdiness of the iron chains, when they saw Happy act in such an aggressive and bold manner, they were so terrified that they felt as if their souls had left their bodies.
Violent sounds rose from the end of the bridge!
CLANG!


A piercing sound tore through the air!
The iron chains did not break, but the people from Class One Hall did not show much delight at that, because the moment the sound rose, the iron chains beneath them trembled violently. The four archers could not stand on stable feet. When the iron chains trembled beneath them, they threw away their bows in a flurry of motion and grabbed onto the chains. They almost fell three thousand two hundred and eighty feet.
The two people in the lead also lost their sturdy shields in their panic.
But that was not all.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Piercing echoes rose violently between the two mountains. They were so loud that it made the people who heard them feel as if they were about to suffer a mental breakdown.
The continuous, violent echoes not only made their eardrums sting, they also became distressed and upset! In the twinkling of an eye, it felt like even the mountain wind had gotten much stronger!

AAAHHH!



The great amplitude of the oscillations from the iron chains made a few Class One Hall’s members crash into each other in the chaos, and they all fell off Iron Chain Bridge in pairs.
The shrill and despairing screams that entered their ears upset the other sect members on Iron Chain Bridge. Their faces turned stark pale. They gritted their teeth and seized the iron chains while wishing to immediately get out of the hellish place.

Retreat!


RETREAT!

Thud! Thud!
Two throwing knives sank into two people in the forefront of the group.
The two instantly lost their strength. Intense pain surged through their bodies, and they could only watch as their grip on the iron chains relaxed. Then, the sense of weightlessness swept through them!

NO!

Netherworld’s face went ashen when he saw the few black figures falling into the depths of the abyss.

Retreat! GO BACK!

His shouts sounded powerless among the loud screams and howling gusts between the two mountains.
Iron Chain Bridge rose and fell at irregular intervals. Everyone held onto the iron chains tightly and refused to let go. They had lost their balance and could not move at all, which turned them into unmoving targets that simply swayed left and right. The person on the cliff then easily sent them to the depths of the abyss.
One… and another!
The people who had followed the hall master of Class One Hall to Punishment Mount were all internal members who were elites and the core of Class One Hall. It could be said that their success and abilities were all around Netherworld’s level. Netherworld had promised that he would definitely seize the tribute before the president, but they ended up thrashed. He did not want to even imagine what he would have to face when he went back…
He was well aware that ever since Class One Hall had joined World of Martial Arts, there was not a single time where they had lost so many elites in one go, and they had never been driven to such a hopeless situation either.
If he could not save the remaining people and caused even more deaths, then even if the president was willing to forgive him, his brothers would definitely not acknowledge him, and he would also be unable to forgive himself.
His investigations before the battle showed up to be insufficient, and the information he had gathered incomplete! He had made a major mistake in his plans…
More importantly, he had brought all the people into the battle. Even though they had been pressed for time, it was a very irresponsible action.
