Bang!
The general’s body crashed heavily into the common reed bush like a cannonball! He crushed the thick tuft of grass, and he sank into the ground with his limbs splayed. His eyes were lifeless.
Shing!
Happy put his sword back in its sheath with abnormal calm and composure. He then faced the group of soldiers who came at him with fear and anger, along with the players who charged at him like locusts. An incredibly great feeling of being drained of qi surged into his heart, and he frowned slightly.
‘I was too impatient…’


Petit Dragon, Dragon Capture, and Seven Stars Brilliant Moon were all styles that required a large amount of qi. Since he was in a rush, he did not even take Dew Pills while he used those techniques repeatedly. Hence, even if he was already in Mystical Realm, he still felt a little tired and empty because he had overdrawn his qi.
When he saw that countless enemies had decided to pounce on him, Happy felt as if there was a huge mountain charging at him.
The pressure with the force of an avalanche was so heavy on his shoulders that he felt as if he could not breathe!
When Happy was about to be caught in a perilous situation, an enraged roar that was as great as the sound of thunder rose from the ships in the river.

General Yang has died! How long are you going to help the wicked man in his wicked deeds?! Once the Murong Clan investigates this matter fully, we’ll see just who else can protect you! All of you will not be able to escape from being involved in this!

The expressions of the soldiers who were already near Happy instantly changed.

The general died?!


Not good… the general died! Retreat!

The soldiers instantly lost their will to fight upon hearing the Murong Clan’s intimidating yell. While letting out chaotic, surprised, and fearful cries, they threw away their weapons and fled. They did not even have the time to care about General Yang’s corpse.
At the same time, the players who had rushed over with an aggressive momentum lost their armor. They returned to how they originally looked, and all sorts of equipment and different sect emblems appeared clearly before Happy.



The quest had failed!
Once General Yang died, all the players at Common Reed Bank returned to their original appearance. Their uniform armor disappeared, and they looked like a bunch of people with various characters grouped together.
The crowd instantly lost its pillar of strength.
It was especially so for some of the people who were sect members. They had shouted very energetically previously, but when they saw that they failed in their quest, their first reaction was to stop in their tracks and cover their sect emblems over their chests.
It was not a joke.
The person they had to deal with was no one else but Happy!
While he was in Wuhu, he had destroyed Five Venoms, which was a somewhat famous sect, and he had done it all alone. He had also killed all the elites from Fallen Feathers Sect. Everyone had put on a disguise to join militia, so they could take advantage of the situation to earn some money. Even if they could not kill him, they would not be worried.
But the situation had changed!
Once the players lost their morale, their will to fight disappeared despite them standing no more than thirty-two feet away from Happy. The people who had led the charge looked as if they had been exposed, and hey turned around to run into the crowd.


Just like that, the thousands of people who had rushed at Happy fled from him at an even faster speed, much to Happy’s surprise. They looked incredibly ludicrous and ridiculous.
However, people who were watching from a distance could not laugh.

As expected of the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank!

The group had watched the entire process of Happy killing the general, and their hearts were still cold with fear.

What were those attacks just now?


He beheaded a general who was protected by Life and Death soldiers. He’s indeed tough!
A few people gulped while they gasped in amazement.
Can this be considered as taking the enemy leader’s head from an army of one thousand? I know that he didn’t fight against them head on, of course!


Whoa…

A cool wind from the river blew at the white veil over the woman with the graceful figure while she stood beyond the crowd. It messed up a few strands of her black hair and made them dance.
The woman did not mind the wind. She twirled her hair and tucked it behind her ear. The few men near her caught a patch of breathtakingly fair and charming skin.
The woman under the white veil was silent for a while before she said,
He’s right. There was absolutely no room to fight against those soldiers in that situation.



With each additional second he took fighting against those soldiers, he exposed himself to more danger. If the army surrounded him, it would have been very difficult for him to protect himself, much less break out. Happy made the best choice. The only thing that is rare about him is his resolution and strength.


Lil’ Sis Shadow, it’s rare to hear you praise someone. Last time, you praised Zhou Yu, this time, you praised Happy. Who do you think is stronger? Him, or Zhou Yu? the man who had been standing by the woman with the white veil suddenly asked.
The people around them look over with interest.
Zhou Yu had once taken the spot at the top of the Dragon Rank, but he was pushed down to the second spot by a mysterious person called One Emperor.
There were few people who knew of Zhou Yu’s story, but they had met him a few times before, and he had left a deep impression on them.
The woman under the white veil fell into deep contemplation.

It’s not easy to compare them. Happy and Zhou Yu have become famous for a long time. They are equals in terms of strength regardless of their wisdom, strength, resolution, or luck. Even though there are a lot of positive public opinions regarding Happy and his reputation is great as well, Zhou Yu is not simple either. Even though he doesn’t really like training, his speed of improvement is much faster than that of normal people because he challenges people who are above him in terms of qi realm.

Happy seems like he has grown stronger step by step, while Zhou Yu’s speed in getting stronger in secret is astonishing. They have intellect that no one else possesses, and they are like night and day. They will not meet with each other.

She paused for a moment and added another sentence under the people’s slightly regretful gazes, because they could not get the answer they wanted.
If they fight against each other, it will be very difficult for them to know who will emerge victorious, but right now, I’m more curious about that person’s identity and strength.


Whose?




One Emperor!


Oh? The person who has never appeared in front of others and is training in hiding?
The speaker had a scornful expression.
The woman under the white veil shook her head.
I’ve investigated Zhou Yu’s speed of training before. He’s very fast, and he fights those stronger than him every day. The speed of his improvement is slightly faster than when top-tier fighters focus wholeheartedly to train. It’s basically impossible for anyone to be ahead of him, unless Zhou Yu stops, but not only had One Emperor managed to catch up, he even surpassed Zhou Yu. Just thinking about it alone makes me think that the person is terrifying.

The people around her were instantly stunned speechless.
The woman had praised powerful players like Happy and Zhou Yu calmly… but One Emperor had actually made her fearful when her own strength could not be measured!
Just who was that person!

At that moment, Happy had received the system notification for his quest completion, and he also received some additional notifications.

Killed General Yang! Completed quest!

Battle Assessment: Class A!

Danger Assessment: Class S!

Increase Seven Stars Sword Style up to Level 98.85. Increase Golden Bell Cocoon up to Level 99.01!

Happy was stunned.
The assessment was the same as when he fought against Ninja King, but his rewards were greater.
The fight had been determined by speed. He had gained the initiative straight away, which had allowed him to avoid most of the danger. So he could not really be considered to have gone through a battle with a Class S in danger, right?
Or could it be that the contents of the quest were also part of assessing the danger of a battle?
While he thought about it, Happy cast his gaze on General Yang’s corpse.
A corpse from a high-ranking official from the imperial court should have something special, right?
