After practicing Nine Yang Divine Skill for some time, Happy’s senses had become sharper, and his reaction faster!
 

The moment he was ambushed, he sensed two powerful waves of killing intent locking down on him. When he jumped off the back of his horse, he found that he did not have to handle the attacks from the evil cult elite who had put on a disguise, but an attack containing fatal killing intent that came charging at him from behind.
 

Right when Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan attacked, Happy felt his hair stand, and he immediately became as tense as a fully drawn longbow! At the instant Yang Xuyan’s sword shadow stabbed his back, a loud twang shot up, and Happy tumbled in the air in an incredibly bizarre but fast fashion.
 

It was as if his attack had triggered some sort of mechanism.
 

With shocking speed, Happy got out of the area enveloped by Yang Xuyan’s sword glare. With a furious roar, he stomped on the ground and kicked viciously at Yang Xuyan’s sword-wielding hand.


 

Yang Xuyan was caught off guard and was sent dozens of feet backward by Happy’s Dragon Swings Its Tail, which was an ability he showed for the first time
 

However, he was not out of danger just then.
 

The evil cult elite who had put on a disguise was someone who was at the level of an elder. When Happy exchanged a blow with Yang Xuyan, he cackled and drew close to Happy like a phantom.
 

He attacked repeatedly, and his attacks gave others a suffocating feeling!
 

Happy had just finished delivering the attack with his feet, so his hands were still free. He said nothing, but just pushed three of his fingers together against the evil cult elder, and he tapped forward without batting an eyelid when he saw the elder pouncing at him.
 

Bang!
 

The elder from the evil cult did not think that a normal disciple from the Murong Clan would have the ability to fight back while attacked by two evil cult elites, and one of them was even the Shadow Assassin. So the finger strike rammed into his chest, and he shuddered. He sensed an astonishingly threatening feeling coming from the young man in front of him.
 

Despite feeling alarmed, he said nothing and activated his body fortification.
 

Thud! Thud!
 

With two finger strikes, Happy struck viciously at the evil cult elder’s body fortification. It shuddered violently, but the great power contained in Happy’s fingers could not completely negate it. Still, the remaining force was enough to make the elder shudder. He took a subconscious step backward, and shock as well as disbelief appeared in his eyes.


 

Just then, he did not even see how Happy attacked.
 

Not only had he not managed to see it clearly, even Yang Xuyan and quite a number of players nearby were so shocked by the sudden attack that they stopped moving. They stood in the distance and watched quietly.
 

Many gazes swept over the Hoof Shadow that had died on the spot outside the government-made road. There was clear sentimentality in the players’ eyes as they lamented Happy’s loss, though some were delighted by his misfortune.
 

Even though there were an increasing number of people who obtained Hoof Shadows, their price was still as high as ever. They cost basically the same amount of money as a scooter.
 

When the players saw that Happy’s Hoof Shadow had been killed in one blow by an NPC, a number of them were shocked, and their hearts clenched in pain at the money he had just lost.
 

But Happy reacted so quickly that it was as if he was in a movie and the entire scene had been rehearsed. The moment his Hoof Shadow was killed, he jumped up from the back of his horse and avoided the disaster.
 

What happened later was even more exciting. There was an even more powerful elite behind Happy, who worked together with the first one to attack him.
 

‘Damn it… Who is he? How did he manage to get two elites who are so powerful to attack him at the same time?’
 

But soon, everyone no longer found themselves in conflict because of that.
 

Happy’s fast reactions and what happened later exceeded everyone’s expectations.


 

The two elites were clearly Inaction Realm martial artists. They attacked Happy in an organized hunt with one who attacked openly from the front, while the other attacked in the dark from the back. Even so, their attacks were negated one after the other.
 


It’s Yang Xuyan, the Shadow Assassin!

 

When Yang Xuyan was sent flying dozens of feet backward even though he had launched an attack from the crowd behind Happy, many people in the area recognized him based on his attire.
 

Then, the sight of the evil cult elder being repeatedly forced back caused many people to suck in sharp breaths. Their attention finally shifted from the two Inaction Realm martial arts to the mysterious young fighter.
 


That person’s not a player, right?

 


Yeah, I think you’re right. There’s no way a player can be that good?

 

Some people believed in their assumption with increasing conviction, or else, how was it possible that a fight as exciting as one from the movies would happen? It was clearly something that had been rehearsed beforehand.
 


Who is it? He’s really strong.

 


I don’t recall someone so young and powerful in Twin of Brothers. Hey! He doesn’t use weapons, could he be Xu Zhiling?

 


He doesn’t look like him.



 

While the crowd watching from the side talked about it, the trio who seemed to be part of the game’s plot sank into a short period of silence after the brief exchange of blows.
 


I see, so it’s Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan of Flowers Sect. May I know how I should address you?

 

Once Happy deflected Shadow Assassin’s ambush with Dragon Swings Its Tail, he became much calmer. The effect of Nine Yang Divine Skill increasing his skill had finally been brought out.
 

When he faced Yang Xuyan, he did not need to be as cautious and fearful as last time.
 

As for the other evil cult elite, Happy was confident that he could destroy his body fortification qi with three finger strikes and kill him in ten moves.
 

Yang Xuyan’s expression was incredibly solemn and sour.
 

His eyes were like icy flames while he sized up Happy.
As expected of Murong Clan’s Happy. You do have some skill to be known as the strongest among the young heroes, Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero.

 

Boom!
 

When the players heard Yang Xuyan’s words, those who had been harboring thoughts of approaching this young martial artist to get a quest while they tried to guess his identity and were wondering whether they should interfere with the quest found themselves dumbfounded.
 



 COMMENT

‘Happy? The Happy at the top of Famous People Rank? It’s him!
 

‘Well, that makes sense, but…’
 

Even more people sank into puzzlement.
 

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm used in the martial arts tournament had been incredibly mighty and dazzling, but just then, the first move alone could be considered as exciting. The attack he used to force the evil cult elite back was as gentle as water. No signs of it could be seen at all.
 

Of course, everyone could tell that Happy was clearly much stronger compared to the time when he was at the martial arts tournament, or else, there was no way Yang Xuyan would have such a wary and cautious expression. It was as if he was facing off a powerful enemy.
 

Happy cast a faint glance at the evil cult elite, and he said in a mocking tone,
Brother Yang, you’re still the same as always. Even now, you continue hiding in the shadows and attacking others from the back. This time, you even called for help…

 

Yang Xuyan’s expression turned even more unpleasant.
 


Don’t be too arrogant. I underestimated you too much. In the end, you are merely a Murong Clan disciple with a low qi realm. Even if you have a few ingenious moves, that’s nothing. With two elites fighting against you, I’d like to see how long you can last… Attack!

 

When Yang Xuyan reached the end of his monologue, he gave an order. The evil cult elder roared in anger, and an astonishing amount of power turned into a large, black wolf head that let out an astonishing howl before charging at Happy with the force of an avalanche.
 


Perfect timing.

 

Happy laughed long and hard with great confidence!
 

He exerted force in his feet, but instead of retreating, he charged forward. He flung his hands to the side in an exaggerated movement before he formed claws with his fingers. After all, he did not fear anyone when it came to close-quarters combat.
 

The evil cult elder only felt two piercing gusts of wind charge at his face. He did not have the time to dodge, and his body fortification shuddered twice. It looked as if it was about to break.
 

He was incredibly shocked and baffled, and his momentum froze, which led to a shocking force from a vortex dispelling his attack.
