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.

“Ten Thousand Years, stand down.”

Happy drew Heaven Crystal and sent Thousand-faced Human Fox away, since he could not help. After all, Happy might be distracted if he were around, and Thousand-faced Human Fox might even get killed by the swordsman in black armor.

Thousand-faced Human Fox knew that he could not handle a fight at this level, so he did not say anything. He just cast a deep glance at Happy’s back before he retreated and landed beside Osaya.

“Did you send your servant because you intend to fight against me alone?” The swordsman in black armor put his hands behind his back. A great wave of power from the dao of heaven surged out from his body. His feet gradually left the ground, and while he was airborne, he looked down at the white-clad teenager whose robes fluttered loudly, but whose expression remained determined. Surprise flashed briefly in the swordsman’s eyes.

Boom!

At that moment, Happy could no longer care about hiding his identity. He brandished his longsword and activated his qi realm. With his powerful Willpower supporting him, he fought back against the mighty pressure from the dao of heaven and pressure on his mind which were attacks from the swordsman in the dao of heaven. He did not back down in the slightest. His gaze was intense, and he did not take even a single step back.

The old zither player, Bi Xuan, and the others had surprise and admiring looks flash in their eyes.

If they forgot about his status and looked only at the white-clad teenager’s strength, his act of standing up to an elite who was One with the World despite his low qi realm was something all those at the peak of Myth Realm in the hall could not do.

“Such a pity… What a pity that he’s Osaya’s, or else, there’s no problem in me taking him in as my disciple.” Bi Xuan slowly narrowed his eyes. He had actually started to feel fond of the white-clad teenager because of his talent.

However, there were two people who did not have the same thoughts as he did.

And they were Evil King and Empress Yin!

These two people understood Happy’s methods very well.

In the past, when Happy had just entered Inaction Realm, he had used his Sun Finger, which he had not been familiar with at that time, to help Heavenly Saber Song Que to stop Evil King outside Song House’s cliff. They did not manage to decide who was the victor even after exchanging one thousand blows. Right now, some time had passed, and Happy’s strength had increased again. Even if the swordsman in black armor had astonishing abilities, it was impossible for him to kill Happy within just a short amount of time.

“That brat won’t die so easily… If you don’t believe me, you can continue watching.” Evil King raised his chin and predicted this outcome for Happy in a cautious manner.

Empress Yin agreed in silence.

“Interesting.”

As he looked down from the air, the swordsman in black armor sensed the resolution from the white-clad teenager’s eyes and willpower from his body. The disdain in his eyes finally faded away, but the killing intent and the cold will in him grew stronger.

The swordsman in black armor spoke again, “In truth, if you had enough time, sooner or later, a powerful fighter in the dao of heaven will definitely appear in the Chinese plains. Unfortunately for you, you just had to speak and humiliate me. So, today, you must die!”

“Then enough with the chatter.”

Happy stared at the swordsman in black armor with a calm expression. His tone was rude.

Before his voice faded away, a cold huff that sounded as if it had substantial form shook his heart, as if it had substantial form.

“Hmph!”

Thud!

Happy activated his true origin aura.

Even so, Happy still could not help but have his body tremble. It was as if something had hit him, and he subconsciously took half a step backwards.

With it, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

At that moment, it was as if the entire world was instantly controlled by the swordsman in black armor. It was dark everywhere, and before his eyes was an endless wave of death.

The swordsman in black armor vanished from the dark world.

Happy’s eyelid twitched. Without even thinking, he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps.

But right when he moved, he sensed danger, and it came strongly right in his face with the sound of wind.

Petite Dragon!

Evil King, Bi Xuan, and the others saw it clearly outside the battlefield. All of them had their expressions turn incredibly grave.

They were not just surprised by the swordsman’s strength, but also his cunning!

They saw through the swordsman’s scheme in using a sound wave secret technique that contained an attack that dealt pressure on the mind. It shocked Happy so much that he lost his sight for a moment. Then, he instantly released his power in the dao of heaven and fused with the world.

But that was not all, the swordsman in black’s power in the dao of heaven was very strange. Normal elites in the dao of heaven loved becoming one with the dao of heaven and quietly getting closer to their target before they activated their attack at close distance. They would sometimes subjugate their enemies when their minds were affected by what they saw.

But the swordsman in black armor was completely different.

To them, the swordsman in black armor did not attack. Instead, once he was certain of the white-clad teenager’s movement trajectory, he went to where he would move ahead of time and waited for him there.

Those in the dao of heaven would reveal their bodies at the moment they attacked. But when the swordsman in black armor did not move, he could ingeniously control the attack distance in an even more meticulous manner, making him even more threatening.

Not only did the swordsman in black armor use a secret technique and his power in the dao of heaven against a young genius who only had a low qi realm, he also schemed against him. For a period of time, the people in the dao of heaven felt a great chill creep down their spines as they faced the swordsman in black armor.

But while they were fearful of the swordsman in black armor, they also noticed to their shock that the white-clad teenager’s reaction was also very outstanding.

When he reacted to the threat of death right in his face, he avoided the swordsman’s hand by a hair’s breadth when it went to seize his neck!
