Boom!
Countless thin sound waves crashed against each other. The shattered sound waves spilled in every direction, and they blew at the valley until it was a disorderly mess.
Howling Moon and the others stood up in shock. They stared at Wind Chimes and Xu Yao, who remained in the valley with calm expressions. They could not believe their eyes.
They could sense the terrifying, endless damage from the sound blade river Wind Chimes created just now. Wind Chimes had not held back in her attack just now, and she attacked with her full strength. That meant that ten normal supreme-class elites had attacked at the same time, and all of them believed that they could not handle it.
But Xu Yao, to whom they had been underestimating all this while, faced the pressure calmly and coolly neutralized Wind Chimes’ powerful attack.
Even though Xu Yao’s face was pale after she withstood the attack, what they saw just now was still enough to make Howling Moon and the others stop underestimating her. They now regarded her in a new light.
“That’s amazing!” Wind Chimes’ eyes shone. She stopped playing her zither and praised Xu Yao. “Zither Sect’s skills are indeed unique. In just a short time, you manage to take down a full-powered strike from me. That’s great! When we’re in the battlefield, with you around, that means that I will constantly have more than ten supreme-class elites protecting me. As long as we don’t run into Evil Emperor, the Wild Wolves won’t be able to do anything to us…”
“Yes.”
After she managed to fend against Wind Chimes’ attack, Xu Yao was also very excited.
Death of the Zither was the most domineering defensive measure in the martial art she practiced. At the moment her zither force shattered, she could reflect all the damage her zither force absorbed using a unique method. Withstanding half of the sound blade river already caused her to be near her limit, but if she reflected the damage she absorbed, she could create an attack that would catch her enemies off guard.
“Once Happy sends the Fire Qilin Blood over, my qi will increase by twenty points, and if I train for a period of time while we’re on the way, once I reach West Region, my zither force will become even stronger.” While Xu Yao enjoyed Wind Chimes’ praise, she came to the decision that she could not remain idle on the road either.
The two girls did not notice that the supreme-class elites at the entrance of the valley had already stood up, and they were watching them with strange and shocked gazes. Even after a long time had passed, they could not calm down.
But it was no wonder why they could not.
These were two zither masters!
Wind Chimes was strong because she had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, and she did not need to be afraid of anyone aside from Evil Emperor working together to fight against her, but due to her frail body, she always gave off the feeling that she was fragile and in danger. She did not seem reliable.
But the appearance of Xu Yao, the second zither master, gave Holwing Moon and the others an unprecedented shock.
The fight just now might not be able to show much, but Howling Moon and the rest were not foolish people. They could guess that once Xu Yao’s qi realm increased, she would definitely become a zither master who did not lose to Wind Chimes in the slightest. In fact, she did not need to lose all her qi cultivation after she died!
It was at that moment that Howling Moon and the rest understood.
They now knew why Happy had deliberately asked them to come to the valley to escort Wind Chimes and Xu Yao.
Once these two zither masters entered West Region, they would definitely form a power that was not to be underestimated. In fact, they would become pillars that could determine the direction of the fight.
When they thought of this, Howling Moon and the rest instantly had their gazes turn intense.
Howling Moon composed himself and quickly summoned the group to his side. He began seriously mobilizing the forces to defend the two girls while he mapped out their path to the west.
Now, they understood how important the two girls were, so Howling Moon and the others naturally did not dare to be inattentive to them. Howling Moon began to carefully make plans.
“Why isn’t Happy here yet?
“Judging by the time, he should have arrived two hours ago.
“Did something happen to him?”
While Wind Chimes and Xu Yao trained, they sent private messages to each other.
“Don’t worry, with Happy’s current strength, no one can cause trouble to him. He must have noticed something on his way, that’s why he can’t come.
“If he’s not here yet, we should seize the time to train a little more. When we’re in West Region, our chances of survival will also increase.”
“Yeah.”
The two girls got rid of all unnecessary thoughts and focused on continuing their sparring. They forgot about everything else.
Wind Chimes and Xu Yao did not know that Happy was currently in a mountain not very far from Zither Sect’s valley, and he was being suppressed by Sword Sect’s sect protection formation.
Right now, things were very lively in Sword Sect.
The One Thousand Sword Formation had not been activated for decades, but now, it was fully activated. Countless dazzling sword glares intersected with each other in the air in an orderly fashion. They moved based on the trajectory given to them by the formation.
The sword nets that symbolized death overlapped with each other densely. They tightly locked down on the entire space in every direction.
With each breath, hundreds of sword qis would shoot forward from all directions, releasing destruction in their wake.
The sword formation itself contained a destructive presence that could destroy everything, and if a mosquito entered the formation, it would definitely be shredded to pieces.
‘As expected of a sect protecting formation that is as famous as the sect protection items in the other sects…’
Happy was currently feeling a little regretful.
Even though he had used Wild Fights in All Directions and Full Winds in Long Skies in the beginning to easily push the One Thousand Sword Formation away as well as tear open a gap for Thousand-faced Human Fox to escape, at that time, the formation had not been fully activated.
Even after dozens of people were injured or killed, the Sword Sect disciples would just continuously fill up their positions. Each person had stopped underestimating him, and their attacks became very meticulous.
Now, more than one thousand Inaction Realm Sword Sect disciples attacked at full force, and the damage of the formation instantly increased by leaps and bounds.
In the beginning, he could still use Petite Dragon to handle it, but they just kept modifying the formation.
In the span of a breath, he had to deal with hundreds of sword qis with the power of those in Myth Realm. Everything within a circular area of 165 feet was sliced to shreds by the sword qi.
He could no longer avoid it with Petite Dragon!
If it were not because he had Heavenly Demon Armor with him and could reduce the damage by half and also had Tendon Changing Classic as well as Marrow Cleansing Classic protecting him, even if he had his true origin aura, he might not be able to survive.
Every time the sword qis came down at him like a clamp, it would take away nearly one-third of Happy’s true origin aura.
Happy was so shocked that he was actually terrified.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
He instantly vanished from the spot and delivered dozens of palm-generated gusts.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A group of Sword Sect disciples grunted and fell down while coughing up blood.
But after they activated the One Thousand Sword Formation, the Sword Sect disciples became used to Happy’s methods. Soon, they locked down on him again. As their qi activity guided them, countless sword qis charged forward like shooting tails with long, dazzling tails trailing behind them. They shot forward from all directions and arrived around him once more.
“Damn it!”
It was only at that moment that Happy finally understood just how frightening the sect protection formation was!
Wave-like Subtle Steps!
Even though he increased his speed to the max, he could not avoid having some of the sword qis touch him. His true origin aura became weaker.
This happened a few times, and his true origin aura immediately became incredibly weak.
Happy took some time to check his Supreme Technique of the World and found that it leveled up really quickly in the sect protecting formation. Each palm strike he delivered, he could push it up by another 0.1 level, and in one go, he managed to make it level up by two levels. However, after a few rounds of attacks, his qi had dropped to a dangerously low level, and even so, the Supreme Technique of the World had only increased by three realms.
Meanwhile, his qi had already dropped to the edge of Moksha Realm.
If he were weakened any further, he would drop to
His qi had already dropped to the edge of Moksha Realm, and if he were weakened any further, he would end up in Moksha Realm. At that time, he would not be able to continue using Full Winds in Long Skies and Wild Fights in All Directions.
This was the price of coming into a shocking training environment created by the One Thousand Sword Formation in order to quickly force out his potential.
But the price for it was an astonishing depletion of his qi and the constant threat to his life!
Happy might be shocked by the power in the One Thousand Sword Formation, when he thought about it carefully, he could understand why it was so strong. If a sect did not have a power that could intimidate the world of wanderers, it would be very difficult for it to stand until this moment with just one person in the dao of heaven.
The One Thousand Sword Formation had a power that could destroy a person in the dao of heaven, and this was very normal.
He was still in a rather good condition because he had Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, which made his body really tough. Heavenly Demon Armor could absorb and negate some of the damage, and he could last for a few rounds.
But if a normal player were here, the sect would not even need to activate their formation fully to completely tear up that player. They could even do so in the span of one breath.
Besides, the price he had to pay was not actually that unbearable.
Training here was equivalent to ten times or even one hundred times the speed of training elsewhere. Happy would just have to think of this as a lavish way of spending his items.
Without any hesitation, Happy brought out an item from his Universe Bag and tossed it into his mouth.
It was a drop of Fire Qilin Blood!
The powerful vitality surged into his body. His Dantian region had lost half of its qi, but in an instant, a great warmth filled up most of it, and it was still continuing to fill up his Dantian region.
His true origin aura quickly grew and thickened.
His strength and confidence returned to his body.
For the time being, Happy released a sigh of relief.
He used Wave-like Subtle Steps and Petite Dragon, then attacked.
When he swallowed Fire Qilin Blood, Happy felt that he was a duck swimming in a river. He might seem to be at ease, but in truth, when the One Thousand Sword Formation was fully activated, he had to kick his feet madly to stay afloat. He did not dare be careless in the slightest.
After all, if he were the slightest bit careless, the One Thousand Sword Formation would lock down on him. Then, more than one thousand Sword Sect disciples’ sword qi would charge against him endlessly until he died.
Even though he had Fire Qilin filing up his qi and repairing his internal injuries, Happy still did not think that he could last for a long time under the attack of the sword formation.
He endured the impact and pain from the sword qis cutting into him, and Happy moved his feet as if he were flying so that he could move around and dodge the attacks in the One Thousand Sword Formation.
While he tried his hardest to avoid more sword qis hurting him, he continuously attacked with his palms to quickly level up the Supreme Technique of the World.
With each round of attacks, he would deliver more than ten palm strikes!
The system notification appeared.
“Ding! The Supreme Technique of the World has increased to the fourth realm!”
Dragon Coil!
Boom!
He attacked again.
Dragon’s Roar!
He attacked yet again.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
And he attacked once more.
Wild Fights in All Directions!
Another attack.
Full Winds in Long Skies!
One more attack.
Happy did not know how many palm strikes he had delivered in less than half a minute. Very soon, he heard a second system notification, and it lifted his spirits.
“The Supreme Technique of the World has increased to the fifth realm!”
With the increase in realm, his attacks became faster, and the power in his attacks also increased!
He delivered one palm strike. A normal Sword Sect disciple had his chest cave in because of the attack. Bloody red bubbles formed at the corners of his mouth, and he painted a terrifying sight.
The domineering aspect of the Supreme Technique of the World was gradually brought out to its full glory!
Even though he gained a lot from this, he also paid quite the hefty price.
Right after the martial art’s realm increased, his qi was depleted to the edge of Moksha Realm again. If he did not have a lot of qi to replenish the qi he lost, very soon, he would be devoured by the One Thousand Sword Formation to the point that nothing of him would be left.
‘What a pity… If I knew this would happen, I should have learned another body fortification skill.’ Happy stuffed a drop of Fire Qilin Blood in his mouth and lamented.
He knew that this sort of quest that would only be activated when certain conditions were met could only be activated once in a person’s life. He might not be able to find any other quest that would stimulate his potential again in the future.
