Killed one Sharp Gold Banner elite. Obtained 30 points. Currently accumulated points: 819!

Happy had turned around and killed that Sharp Gold Banner elite, then calmly tossed his sheath into his Universe Bag and stuffed a Dew Pill into his mouth to restore the qi he used for Emperor Shocks World. It was a secret technique that could injure a Moksha Realm elite in one strike, so there was no way that a normal Life and Death Realm elite from Sharp Gold Banner could withstand it.
The group could not stop Happy.
To prevent more Emei Sect disciples from being killed by Five Banner Division, Happy would naturally not allow Scorching Flame Banner members to toss the pots filled with petroleum into the crowd.
He ignored the Sharp Gold Banner chasing after him and turned around to slash the pots. Shattered pieces scattered on the floor, and black petroleum splashed on the ground. It even affected a few tunnels nearby.


The system’s notification arrived.

Ding! Dissolved Scorching Flame Banner’s attacks, reduced the number of dead on Emei Sect’s side. Gained the favor of Mistress Annihilation from Emei Sect. Gained Zhou Zhiruo’s affection.

Happy was stunned. He turned his head around and cast a glance at the area behind him.
The lime powder that filled the area had already fallen to the ground. After paying quite a large number of sacrifices, Emei Sect finally gained a footing through the breach Happy had created. They avoided the attacks from Scorching Flame Banner, and under Ding Minjun, Zhou Zhiruo, and some other people’s guidance, they began their counterattack.
Ancient Wind and the others did not slack off either. They resolutely dug out the flag bearers hidden in the crowd and contributed to the fight!
Five Banner Division was left without a leader, and they soon descended into a chaotic battle.
Once they lost a batch of people, they were finally forced to retreat and fled through the tunnels.
Emei Sect might have withstood the battle, but they suffered quite a number of casualties, so they had to stop and reorganize their forces.
When the players saw the corpses of the Emei Sect disciples all over the ground, the ones who caught up to them from behind sighed in lamentation.
‘As expected of Five Banner Division, Ming Cult’s most competent force!’


Their gazes when they looked at Happy were finally not filled with jealousy as before, but with genuine admiration.
‘And as expected of the elites chosen and acknowledged by the six sects. If it weren’t for them, Emei Sect might have suffered an even greater loss. We don’t even know whether they would have even defeated Five Banner Division by themselves!’

Mistress, we lost more than one hundred and thirty junior sisters, and more than two hundred are injured! Five Banner Division lost less than three hundred people.

Once Ding Minjun did a headcount of the battlefield, the people were shocked.
Emei Sect had sent a little more than one thousand people to the raid, and in their first official battle, they lost so many people. It looked like it would be very difficult for them to continue on.
Quite a number of players at the back wore grave expressions.
Five Banner Division’s abilities had always been extraordinary. With their various strategies, they could turn any place into their homefield, while their enemies could only be forced into defensive positions to resist them and counterattack. It was very difficult for them to decide their own fate.

At the back of the large group were countless players who had turned into Ming Cult members. Their morale was high, and under Five Banner Division’s protection, they suppressed various heroes from the distance and killed quite a number of players along their way.
The various heroes in charge of attacking Light Summit had been suppressed so badly by Ming Cult’s Five Banner Division that they looked incredibly pathetic. Then, they were attacked by arrow showers from the dark, and their death count instantly increased by leaps and bounds!


They had to either break through the encirclement to head down the mountain, or be forced to retreat up the mountain. Their morale was incredibly low.
During the fight, the players among the Ming Cult disciples whispered nonstop to each other.

Damn it, they didn’t drop anything.


Duh.


Let’s go. We have to gather more points. I heard that the person with the highest points might get Heaven and Earth Great Shift Qi Cultivation Technique!


Who said that nonsense?

The morale among the members of Ming Cult had become much higher than before. Even if they did not get Heaven and Earth Great Shift Qi Cultivation Technique, if they could gain the favor of a Ming Cult elite, it would be good as well..

The people from the six great system-allocated sects were ambushed by Five Banner Division at almost the same time, and due to their aggressive offense, they lost quite a number of people.
During the time Emei Sect rested to reorganize their forces, messenger pigeons flew up and down from the crowd!


Many people were trying to get information on the progress and situation from the other groups.
Soon, the news of Ming Cult’s large scale counterattack traveled among the players, and it stirred up an abnormal and uneasy atmosphere among them.

Damn it! A large group of Ming Cult disciples is moving up with the help from those in Five Banner Division! Based on what my friends said, the strength of those people isn’t that great, but they’re very cunning. Their numbers aren’t that much lower than ours, and they might actually be players.


How could this be?!


He’s right. They should be players Ming Cult drew to their side.


Ah!


This is bad.

The crowd instantly burst into a commotion, and many people began complaining that it was unfair.
The six great system-allocated sects might have begun their attack with a great momentum, but on their way, the higher ups only sent their disciples and the various martial artists to attack; they never attacked themselves. Ming Cult’s Five Banner Division, however, used their full strength to protect Light Summit, and they displayed their abilities right from the start!

We can’t fight this way anymore!




Let’s go!


Let’s just go down the mountain. That damn Mistress Annihilation. She never attacked. Does she intend to have all the Emei Sect disciples die?

A number of players began to measure the strength of the six great system-allocated sects against the Ming Cult, and they were greatly disappointed. An idea to retreat spread among them.
Their words inevitably reached the ears of Happy and the others.
Ancient Wind tentatively approached Happy and spoke to him in a whisper while looking slightly uneasy.
What should we do? Happy, if this is true, we’ll be forced into an even more defensive position by continuing.


We’ll keep them back when they come,
Happy answered cooly, but his gaze wandered to the disciples beside Mistress Annihilation.
Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi might not have displayed much of their abilities in the movies, but they were actually quite strong. During the encounter just then, they had been injured, but among the Five Banner Division members who died, more than ten of them did so because of them.
As for Zhou Zhiruo, her abilities were not inferior to those of her senior sisters, but she was not injured in the slightest. Momo followed Zhou Zhiruo around closely. When she met Happy’s gaze in the air, there was slight annoyance in her eyes.
Momo had not killed or injured any Five Banner Division members during the fight just then. She just stayed close to Zhou Zhiruo and protected her. She had only used her Throw Spirit Sphere a few times to flick away a few Five Banner Division members in time so that Zhou Zhiruo would not get injured.
When she saw Happy walk over, she finally released a breath of relief.

Isn’t it about time for you to tell me the reason behind why I should protect Zhou Zhiruo? Don’t tell me that you’ve taken a fancy for her beauty and to the fact that she’s single…
Momo snorted lightly and stared into Happy’s eyes.
Happy smiled.
You’re asking even though you’ve guessed the reason?


I guessed it? Are you…
Momo’s expression changed, and she frowned. She quickly lowered her voice.
What’s going on? You accepted that quest? Do you want to die?


What other choice do I have? The system gave me that quest and asked me to protect a great beauty who is as pretty as a flower and a jade. She’s even an important character to the plot. Was I supposed to refuse it?

When Happy finished speaking, Momo rolled her eyes at him.
Of course you should have. Forget about Song Qingshu, do you intend to fight against Zhang Wuji for her? Anyone who interferes with the plot won’t end up well, and no one has succeeded in the past. You’ll end up dying in a ditch somewhere, and you won’t even know how you died!

Momo might have sounded cold, but the worry buried deep in her words was clear.

I know my own abilities.
Happy smiled.
Zhang Wuji might not be an easy opponent, but he’s a kind person. He’ll never kill easily. That’s why I won’t be in danger for the time being. Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious with every step I take.
