Chapter 224  : Kill!!

“Five! Venoms!”

Happy hissed each word through gritted teeth! His words seemed to contain a great power that heavily struck the hearts of Spirit Crusher and his sect members.

When Spirit Crusher saw that Happy had arrived, he instantly knew that he could not carry out his original plan. With abnormal decisiveness, he stopped trying to kill Hoof Shadow and seize the treasure. He ordered his sect members to back away. “Stop.”

Making their sect members stop immediately after they received their orders was something that the sects under Class One Hall could do, since they were very strict in recruitment. Even though everyone was still angry, they listened to their leader and put away their pots as well as the venomous creatures who were crawling everywhere. They were prepared to argue with Happy.

“Boss!”

When Little North saw how Happy had intimidated all the people in the area the moment he appeared, he knew that he was saved, and he was delighted. It was only at that moment that he began to size up the swordswoman who had saved him.

What he noticed first was a pair of lively eyes that had no fear. At that moment, the woman stopped fighting, turned her sword around, and landed delicately near Little North. She looked up and sized up the two terrifying zombies standing peacefully beside Little North with a puzzled gaze, as if she was baffled, because she thought that the two fiendish-looking things should belong to the group across from her.

“Thank you for saving me, swordswoman!”

Little North had been following Happy for sometime, and he had gotten used to speaking with the tone and habits of a wandering martial artist. He placed a fist in his palm and thanked his saviour without mincing his words.

Momo was still wondering about who those zombies belonged when she heard Little North thank her. It put her at ease since it meant that Little North was not an impolite person. Feeling better, she nodded at him. “It’s fine. I just can’t bear watching them bully you with numbers!”

As she spoke, she redirected her gaze to the man standing at the top of the ancient tomb. Five Venoms were staring at him as if they had met a great enemy. She frowned. “Who is he? Your companion?”

Even though she did not have a lot of experience in life, she felt slightly pressured by the presence that man spread out. Fortunately, his focus was on Five Venoms.

“Yes, he’s my boss,” Little North said proudly while raising his hands. There was no hint of fear or uneasiness he showed when he was surrounded left. He had relaxed completely.

Momo cast Little North a strange look. She then looked at Happy’s cold expression, and she saw that the lines of his face were also very clear. She blinked, but she felt her interest fade away, because based on the reactions from the Five Venoms Sect Members, it was clear that someone they were very wary of had arrived, and the strange fellow beside her was no longer in danger.

Right when she was about to leave, the words the people from Five Venoms said left her stunned to her feet.

“Happy!” Spirit Crusher shouted sternly with righteous indignation. “You are now a famous player in World of Martial Arts, but you don’t control your subordinates properly. You let one get loose and indulge in snatching other people’s kills and murdering! You’re taking advantage of your power to bully others! If you don’t act accountable and hand over the murderer, I’d like to see how you’ll provide an explanation to the heroes in the world!”

‘What? What did he say?’

Momo was stunned.

She had believed that Five Venoms was the one who bullied others by taking advantage of their numbers and tried to kill Little North by surrounding him, then snatching his kill. That was why she drew her sword and helped him. No matter how she looked at it, Little North did not seem like the sort of person who would provoke a large group of Five Venoms Sect Members alone.

Why was it that the villains she presumed in the situation were shouting that the “weaker group” was evil in such a confident and righteous manner?

Happy did not say anything in answer nor did he move. He only stared at Spirit Crusher and the Five Venoms Sect Members with a gaze so cold that it terrified them. His eyes sparkled, making it seem that he was thinking about something from the past.

Spirit Crusher did not manage to get a reply even after waiting for a long time. His heart gradually sank, and his face turned even darker than before.

The person from Class One Hall did not expect that Happy would react this way once he heard their accusations. He felt that there was something off, especially when he saw the fierce glare in Happy’s eyes when he looked at Spirit Crusher. His gaze seemed to be telling him that the situation would progress in a manner that they did not expect.

“Happy!” Spirit Crusher looked up at Happy with a dark expression, and the anger in his eyes grew even more prominent. “Look closely!”

He swung his arm to gesture at the Five Venoms Sect Members’ corpses around him. He also subconsciously raised his voice. “This is what your companion did! He didn’t allow me to kill Hoof Shadow and said that we should only come to a decision after you arrived. Then, more than ten of my brothers died for no reason because of your companion! That wretch also came here out of the blue to kill my people!”

He redirected his gaze to glare at Momo, who looked surprised in all her long purple dressed glory. When he spoke next, his tone became sharper and firmer. “I’m telling you, I will kill your companion and that wretch today no matter what so that I can uphold justice for my brothers! Think carefully before you interfere! Don’t bring trouble to yourself and end up with your reputation ruined!”

Once he finished speaking, he had no intention to continue waiting for Happy’s reply. He gritted his teeth and ordered his remaining sect members, “Kill them!”

Little North and Momo’s expressions changed.

Little North was a little antsy and uneasy because of Spirit Crusher’s confident accusations, which were born from righteous indignation. He did not expect that the man would make things sound so serious.

And Momo was completely confused and gloomy.

Five Venoms’ accusations were incredibly clear, and the man she had saved had actually started it all. He was the one who disturbed their plans, and he had even snatched their kill.

“As expected, none of you are good people.”

Momo cast a glance at the ugly zombies beside Little North that looked vicious and were poorly dressed. She had come to a realization that she had stuck her nose in a place where it did not belong, but since she had already formed bad blood with the other people, she did not intend to just leave. When she saw the people from Five Venoms charge at her, she placed her sword horizontally before her, and her gaze turned sharp.

Even though she was in the wrong, the people from Five Venoms had to be blamed for having bad hobbies and rearing venomous insects. Their sect emblem was even of a disgusting centipede, so she could tell at first glance that they were not good people. She felt that it was reasonable to kill them, and she did not feel guilty at all.

At that moment, a mocking voice that was incredibly chilly came from the top of the ancient tomb. “Ruining my reputation?”

Then, there was the sound of robes fluttering, and Happy floated down from the top of the ancient tomb and landed in front of the vice sect master of Five Venoms, Spirit Crusher. His gaze was cold and indifferent.

Spirit Crusher might have sensed an invisible pressure coming from Happy’s gaze, but when he remembered the “proof” he had in his hands, he felt confident and straightened his back. “Hmph! My subordinate has already recorded the entire process of your companion stealing our kill. If you interfere without distinguishing what is right from wrong, someone in the future will naturally assess what is right and just in this matter!”

Right after he finished speaking, Happy said a baffling sentence. “Do you know what is the world of wanderers?”

Spirit Crusher was stunned. He did not understand the meaning behind Happy’s words.

Happy seemed to have expected that he would not be able to answer him, and so he just stared into the distance while he mumbled, “You might not understand it now, or you might just be pretending that you don’t understand it, but you will soon know what it means.”

Whoosh!

He attacked as quickly as lightning and seized Spirit Crusher’s neck.

Spirit Crusher did not expect that Happy would attack him, and he did not have the time to react. His acupuncture point had been seized, and he could no longer summon any strength.

As his surroundings filled with shouts of surprise, Happy stared into Spirit Crusher’s fearful and enraged face. His eyes were cold, resolute, and filled with a hint of determination to take revenge.

Crack!
