Chapter 679: Arhat Body

“The situation doesn’t look good…”

One Emperor and Happy’s expressions and dialogue made a few people who had been quiet in the crowd feel a little uneasy.

“I didn’t expect that Happy would be so powerful. Even I don’t have the confidence to receive the fifth slash unharmed, but he managed to do it, and that sixth slash…”

The man with the Bamboo Hat had an incredibly grave tone. Judging by his voice, he seemed to be Cla.s.s One Hall’s Vice Hall Master Blood Robes. His expression was very unpleasant right then.

There was a circle of people surrounding him.

Aside from Monk with Thick Eyebrows, Evil Wolf, and a group of elites from Cla.s.s One Hall, Dream Clouds had also personally come to watch.

The place they were in belonged to the center of Shandong. It was considered to be part of the coastal area and was Towering Palace’s territory, which was why she was not worried that she would gather Mu Clan’s hostility. But she still used a Bamboo Hat to hide her face, just like many other elites. She had also put on a disguise for her external appearance, which made her look very ordinary.

She went through all that because she knew that the fight between the two men would determine the direction of the game for a period of time.

If One Emperor won, it would naturally be the best news for Cla.s.s One Hall. Happy would lose the t.i.tle of strongest in the game, and it would prove that there was still someone who could suppress him.

And as long as Cla.s.s One Hall could form a good relations.h.i.+p with One Emperor, everything would be alright.

They might even have the chance to severely injure Mu Clan’s morale and cause Happy to be dejected for a period of time.

If Happy won, not only would the sects in the game all have to subject themselves to Mu Clan, even Cla.s.s One Hall would have to restrain themselves for a long period of time. They would have to plan their operations carefully so that they could avoid bringing destruction upon themselves.

Also, Dream Clouds came personally because she wished to be able to witness the two men’s true strength.

One Emperor appeared to be a very unfathomable person. He seemed like an illusion, but everyone looked up to him.

Happy was the type who was tough in terms of his skills and methods. He was a powerful player whom the people were wary of. Ever since the time in Hero’s Mountain Villa, no one knew just how great his strength had become.

Battle replays of the two’s fight would definitely be uploaded online, but they might not give Dream Clouds the answer she wanted.

Besides, Happy and One Emperor would definitely not release their first person view of the fight. It was why she had to personally come to get a sense of their strength.

But the truth was something that Dream Clouds found a little hard to accept.

Six slashes!

Happy had safely received six of One Emperor’s slashes, and it was something very unexpected. She had thought that even if Happy would not be killed by One Emperor, he would be heavily wounded.

But six slashes had pa.s.sed, and Happy remained unharmed. His qi was full, and he was very energetic. As for One Emperor, he used up a lot of qi to activate the fifth slash and even more when he activated the sixth slash. His face was slightly pale right then.

What was even more terrifying was that while One Emperor’s strength was gradually revealed, Happy’s strength remained shrouded in fog. He did not reveal many of his skills.

Dream Clouds had an unpleasant feeling surging in her heart.

For the first time, the thought that One Emperor might lose appeared in her heart.

The thought made Dream Clouds’ heart tense up even further. She stared at the fight with her long and narrow eyes, and her gaze was solemn. She did not dare miss even a single one of the two’s moves.

At that moment, a slight breeze that did not blow in any particular direction suddenly appeared in the air.

Quite a number of elites in the crowd noticed that a faint sound of air being torn stirred up the flow of air around them, and it was flowing everywhere swiftly. Judging by the wind, the flow of air was very chaotic.

The people raised their heads to look when they noticed this, and they saw that One Emperor’s expression was very stern. He formed a few gestures with one hand while he swung his sword with the other. His face turned even paler, but a sword will that rushed into the sky surged out from his body.

s.h.i.+ck! s.h.i.+ckk.

One Emperor brandished his black longsword slowly. His actions were growing slower, and everyone could tell that he was struggling.

The calm atmosphere seemed to have been instantly torn. Waves of air were torn, and invisible gusts of sword qi swiftly appeared between One Emperor and Happy. Each one was as thick as a finger, but they could not pose a threat to Happy. In fact, it could not even break his Arhat Body.

But Happy’s powerful spiritual sense allowed him to notice that an astonis.h.i.+ng power was swiftly being formed. All the gusts of sword qi seemed to be connected together, and they were quickly becoming stronger.

The sword qi gusts that were as thick as a finger quickly fused together!

More newly formed sword qi appeared in the air, and their number kept on increasing. The sword qi that was moving around grew denser until it reached a point it could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

At that moment, the speed at which One Emperor brandished his sword gradually increased.

He looked as if he had gone mad. Red filled the whites of his eyes, and as he brandished his sword, the sword will that surged to the sky from his body did not decrease even in the slightest. The countless invisible gusts of sword qi in the air also seemed to have already locked down on their target, and they gave Happy an incredibly powerful sense of pressure.

The dense waves of sword qi moved about him and surrounded him. The sharp sword qi gusts were no longer as gentle as before, and they could cut into him as casually as they wanted. Each sword qi seemed to possess its own soul, and they were filled with killing intent!

Happy said nothing.

All of that might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but it was actually very fast.

The entire process did not last for a long time; only about three-four seconds. Happy could sense that if he acted recklessly, he would be immediately torn to shreds by the countless waves of sword qi around him.

But if he did not move, did not do anything about it, and just let the sword qi continue developing, not only would it bring put a heavy burden on One Emperor, it would also make the sword will evolve into something even more terrifying. Its power would also increase to the point that he could not possibly fight against it.

‘I’ll have to give it my all…’

Happy pushed two of his fingers together and cast a silent glance at the crowd who was watching in the distance. He circulated his qi, and the moment he had his qi surge through his eight extra meridians, a cold glare flashed past his eyes.

As expected of Three Dragons Sword Qi, the speed at which it drained him of his qi was incredibly fast. Even though Happy was prepared for it, when he truly used the unique method of the Sword Sect Master to circulate his qi, he still felt that a lot of his energy, stamina, and qi being instantly drained, and a great wave of exhaustion surged into his heart.

But he could no longer care about it.

Seventh slas.h.!.+

One Emperor’s seventh slash actually had a hint of sword will that was naturally formed by the sword qi in the air around him. He managed to turn nothing into something. It was a sword with the absolute intent to kill, and it was like a fierce beast that howled at the world. In the blink of an eye, it gained full strength and revealed its sharp fangs. Happy could already sense the damage of the slash.

If the person did not die, the sword would not perish, and the killing intent would not vanis.h.!.+

It was different from Three Dragons Sword Will, but One Emperor’s situation was very similar to Happy’s.

Once the attack was delivered, the user’s survival would depend entirely on heaven!

With that hint of realization, Happy instantly put away the final hesitation in his heart. He shut his eyes and sensed the movement of the sword qi around him, along with the murderous sword will that was rapidly growing stronger. He cast his full attention into forming and suppressing the sword qi that was gathered at his fingertips.

s.h.i.+ck! s.h.i.+ck! s.h.i.+ck! s.h.i.+ck!

The sharp sword qi flew madly everywhere, and it contained the preliminary strength that could deliver damage to Happy’s Arhat Body. It delivered clear gashes on Happy’s Golden Armor.

But since Happy’s Arhat Body had already reached the ninth realm, the first stage of Bronze Arhat possessed defense that was over three thousand and four hundred points. It could negate 30% damage, and with Golden Armor as well as Nine Yang Divine Body, along with the 40% increase in defense from his qi realm, Happy’s personal defense reached an astonis.h.i.+ng degree. The sword qi might be threatening, but it was not enough to make him move even half a step.

At that moment, One Emperor was already completely controlled by the murderous sword will. His sword qi continued to tear at the air and attack Happy while in the huge sword qi vortex behind One Emperor a large, profound, and black sword gradually took shape.
