Chapter 237  : Open Challenge!

When the key to the third level of Fox Cave appeared, the three great camps: Chivalry Sect, Class One Hall, and Towering Palace gathered together. Famous elites from different regions also rushed to the area one after another, causing Wuhu, which had yet to calm down from the gathering between Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect that was bound to brew trouble, to become a gathering spot of various martial artists.

Yao Hua and his wife, the divine weapons, and Fox Cave were terms that spread rapidly through the mouths of the players who were gathered at Wuhu!

Then, the news of Dream Clouds, the hall master of Class One Hall, issuing a declaration of war on Chivalry Sect while she was at Moon Pavilion swiftly stirred up a great dispute in Wuhu with the force of a great bomb.

More people began to pay attention to the situation in Fox Cave on that day.

Regardless of whether they were there to witness the birth of the divine weapons or whether they were there to watch the two sects fight, most of the people had already decided that they had to head to Immortal Fox Village before night fell to observe the spectacular event.

However, before everyone could stop talking about the major event, an even more exciting piece of news came from the western part of Wuhu City!

Happy, a formerly well-known player, had invaded the headquarters of Five Venoms by himself. He slaughtered and pulled off the flag of the sect while rebuking Five Venoms’ sinister, ruthless, and despicable behavior. He called them out for not daring to attack him, but instead attacking his brother, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and trying to kill him!

At that moment, Happy stood outside the headquarters of Five Venoms and spoke fiercely. He demanded the sect master and vice sect masters of Five Venoms to rush back to the headquarters and apologize as well as give them compensation within ten minutes, or else, he would destroy the sect and make Five Venoms disappear from World of Martial Arts!

Boom!

Wuhu burst into an uproar.

When countless players learned of this news, they abandoned whatever they were doing without another word and rushed to the western part of the city. They headed straight to where Five Venoms was stationed.

In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of people emptied out most of the city. Only the streets and roofs around Five Venoms were packed full of people, creating a scene so grand that it was something that had never been seen before.

But that was to be expected.

Most people had seen people destroy sects before, and they had also seen people invade the headquarters of other sects alone, but they had definitely never seen anyone so arrogantly notify others to make preparations and say that he will take action ten minutes later, and this person was even the demon of countless sects in the past—Happy!

All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s name was also not unfamiliar to the people in Wuhu.

With his demon vessel, Human Skin Mask, he appeared actively around Fox Cave and Wuhu. He was not just famous for his incredible lightness skills, but had also performed a major feat that had shaken the world of martial artists. That was why when they heard that Happy had arrived at the headquarters of Five Venoms, many people began to speculate whether All-powerful Medicinal Stone was also there, prepared to cause trouble for Five Venoms.

Five Venoms was not a weak sect.

On the contrary, with the venomous creatures that could lower a person’s combat abilities and the hideous bugs that could terrify a person and make them distracted, Five Venoms had quite the reputation in Wuhu. They were a sect that many middle-sized and small sects did not dare provoke, and they also had quite a number of elites among them.

Everyone especially respected the sect master, Proud Over All Life. His Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms was in Grandmaster Realm, and his technique with poison could even allow him to affect the minds of the people near him. He had also managed to kill a powerful player who was ranked in the top twenty on the Dragon Rank.

Because of that, since Happy had invaded Five Venoms by himself, many people believed that he would die this time.

Whoosh...

A faint and dreary gust of wind swept outside Five Venoms. It made the black flag that had been torn in half and was lying on the floor above the stairs leading to the main door to flutter powerlessly. Then, it became still again.

There were dozens of Five Venoms disciples on the stone stairs, and they stared at their flag, which symbolized the glory of their sect, with anger burning in their eyes. Then, with resentment, they glared at the man with the Yellow Dragon Set. Yet none of them had the courage to go and collect their flag.

Happy looked at the time while ignoring the increasing number of Five Venoms sect members gathering outside the headquarters. His heartbeat did not increase even when he saw the many people blocking the streets. He closed his eyes slightly, and he reminded with a calm tone, “Five minutes left.”

Perhaps it was because there was an increasing number of onlookers around them, but a man who looked like a leader of Five Venoms seemed to have felt that it was slightly embarrassing for them to not take any action while they were blocked at the entrance by Happy. He walked out from behind the group, walked down the stairs, and rebuked Happy fiercely.

“You despicable person! You snatched our Hoof Shadow, and now you came to tyrannize us at our headquarters! Do you think that Five Venoms is so easy to bully?!”

“Leader Qi!”

The person behind the man was stunned, and he quickly shouted a loud warning, but he was too late!

The people who were within a circular area of three hundred and twenty-eight feet heard a faint sword whine sweep through the area. A bright light shone, and an afterimage swiftly vanished from where Happy stood. A sword saber flashed, and Happy returned to his original spot!

The group of Five Venoms sect members were stunned by Happy’s cold gaze. They retracted their feet, which had already descended the stone stairs, and turned their heads toward Leader Qi, who was frozen in place.

Once they shifted their gazes to him, they found that Leader Qi’s face was pale, and he did not seem to have realized what had happened. He lowered his head slowly and saw a red spot appear where he felt pain in his chest. Then, it spread out.

Bang!

Then, Leader Qi cast his gaze on the dozen or so corpses of the Five Venoms sect members at the foot of the stairs, and a faint epiphany flashed in his mind.

“No wonder...”

*****

The sight of Leader Qi falling down dead was seen by countless players in the area, but very few were able to catch Happy’s movements and actions. They only felt that a yellow figure had swept past the area before it swiftly returned to its original spot. Happy was so fast that he seemed to have never moved from his spot.

The sounds of people sucking in air came from the crowd, and along with it was also the sound of people discussing what had happened.

“How quick!”

“Tsk, tsk, he’s not just fast. His movements just now were even more terrifying than Quicksword Xiao Shan’s. Xiao Shan only attacks after he appears, but you can’t even see Happy attack with his sword. His act of drawing and sheathing his sword seemed to be part of the same movement.”

“Didn’t he practice saber techniques and palm techniques in the past? Why did he suddenly change to swords now?”

“No wonder we didn’t hear anything about him recently. So he went into isolation to practice swords. Whew... what sword technique is that? It’s strong!”

“As expected, powerful dragons will not go out of their own territory unprepared. Looks like Happy has indeed come to this place prepared! He came back after he mastered his craft, and the first thing he does is to use Five Venoms, his old enemy, to establish his might. Five Venoms seems to have run into a misfortune.”

The people who previously regarded Happy’s act of invading the headquarters of Five Venoms alone in disdain became excited. After all, Five Venoms was completely unrelated to them.

Some of the more ambitious ones who were mixed in the crowd had solemn expressions on their faces.

They did not come simply to watch the battle!

Aside from observing and assessing Happy’s strength again, they wanted to know why Happy had suddenly decided to appear in that place during that critical time.

Was he really just there to take revenge for his friend, All-powerful Medicinal Stone? But All-powerful Medicinal Stone had not suffered any losses from the attack. Instead, Five Venoms had been the ones who had suffered quite a big loss.

He had appeared at the moment all the sects were prepared to march to Fox Cave and fight against Yao Hua and his wife instead of any other time, which was something that caught many people’s attention!

Just as the countless people who were watching from the sidelines and waited for the final fight while harboring various speculations, an enraged shout that was generated with qi rose into the air with a bang from behind the crowd.

“You madman! I didn’t go to you, and yet you came here yourself?! Come over here and die!”

The enraged shout came from afar, but the next moment, everyone saw a black shadow move like lightning! A powerful gust of wind was formed, and a ferocious, black claw instantly charged at Happy’s back.
