Chapter 246  : The Two Women on Phoenix Rank magic

Once they redirected their gazes, Situ Luoyu and his group noticed that three familiar faces had appeared less than ninety-eight feet away from them. Happy, Little North, and Thunderous Battle pounced on them like tigers who came down from the mountains to attack a sheep pen. In almost no time, around a dozen corpses were strewn at the back of the group, and screams of surprise continued to rise nonstop.

“Bastard!” Situ Luoyu’s face went red with rage, and he slammed a fist against the wall beside him. “Why did you have to appear now, of all times...”

His tone was filled with indignation and anger.

“Damn it, you’re going too far with your bullying!”

“I’ll fight against you with everything I have!”

When a man with a tanned face who seemed to be a high-ranking member of Fallen Feathers Sect saw that his brothers were being cut down like wheat and that he could not stop the trio from pushing forward, he gritted his teeth in exasperation and asked for orders.

Situ Luoyu might have been angry, but he had not lost his rationale just then.

“You aren’t his opponent. Besides, the other two are not easy to deal with either. No matter how many of us there are, it’s useless. Tell our brothers to leave behind a group of people to defend us. The others, hurry into the second level at full speed!”

There was logic behind Situ Luoyu’s words. He had watched the battle replay of their total wipeout in Fox Cave last time, and even though he did not want to admit it, Happy was someone whom they could not fight. Last time, if they had not relied on advantage of numbers and the commands from Perpetual Joy Sect’s Ji Feng, they would have inevitably ended up all dead.

Right then, they were in a tunnel again. Happy only needed to face enemies on one side, so he had absolutely no pressure when advancing!

“This...”

Rage and indignation could be seen on some of the people’s faces.

“Why are you stuttering now?! Go! If we continue dilly-dallying, we’ll become the second Five Venoms!”

When Situ Luoyu shouted his last sentence, his face was so dark that there seemed to be thunderclouds above him. He did not want to become the second Proud over All Life and be forced to delete his character and quit World of Martial Arts out of humiliation. He would then end up chasing after other people for all time.

“Let’s go!”

“Go!”

Once the order was given, everyone finally gritted their teeth and gave up on their companions who were at the tail end of the group. Frequent shouts could be heard as they left the tunnel at full speed without turning their heads back.

Happy and his party soon discovered what had happened.

“Boss! Situ’s thinking of running!” Little North cried out loudly in a voice full of delight.

“He won’t be able to run!” Happy answered without even turning his head around.

“Big Brother Thunder, Little North, I’ll let you take care of this place, I’ll chase after Situ!”

Right after he finished speaking, Happy moved like a phantom and left behind an incomplete afterimage on the ground. He stepped on the wall to the left and quickly caught up to the group in front in a bizarre manner.

“Go. Don’t worry.”

“Ah! Big Brother Thunder! We’re splitting them in half!”

The duo’s voices reached his ears from behind him.

*****

Happy had no problem chasing after people in a tunnel with Phantasm Body Movement Skill at the tenth realm, because aside from Situ Luoyu and a few other people who could remain ahead of him, the others only had low-tier lightness skills. Situ Luoyu could escape, but only if he was completely merciless and did not care about the life and death of his companions.

However, with Situ Luoyu’s calculative nature, he would definitely not make all his subordinates regard him in scorn for the sake of his own benefits.

When he saw that Happy had caught up to them in the blink of an eye, his heart sank. He immediately knew that things would not end peacefully. He quickly came to a stop and decided to no longer run.

Once Situ Luoyu stopped moving, the others also stopped and turned around. All of them activated their body fortications!

Boom!

Dozens of powerful Mystical Realm auras quickly rose in the tunnel. The group faced Happy, who landed on the ground from the air like an illusory demon. Situ Luoyu’s expression, when he looked at him, was extremely cold.

“We’ve suffered great damages last time in Fox Cave, and sir, now you’re even intending to kill us by chasing us like this?! Do you really think that Fallen Feathers Sect is so easy to bully?!”

Even though Situ Luoyu sounded unyielding, all those who heard him knew that he had no confidence in the matter, or else, he would not have chosen to run after Happy had caught up to them with his group.

Besides, Five Venoms had just been destroyed a few hours ago!

Right then, facing Happy was the same as fighting with a great demon.

“Hmph.” Happy let out a disdainful snort through his nostrils. “Brother Situ, looks like you have a very bad memory...”

Happy was not actually in a hurry. All he needed to do was hold back Fallen Feathers Sect in the first level of Fox Cave so that they could not support Class One Hall. Thus, he did not mind talking about life with Situ Luoyu, who was about to die. Compared to Five Venom’s Proud over All Life, Situ Luoyu did not give Happy the urge to kill him, and he would not feel any joy for killing him.

“Brother Situ, while you appeared to try and mediate the fight in Fox Cave, you ambushed me in the dark, and I’ve never forgotten it. Then, a few days ago, you worked together with Five Venoms to ambush my friend, All-powerful Medicinal Stone. We have old and new grudges that have yet to be settled, so shouldn’t I come to you to settle things?”

“I don’t know anything about your friend!”

When he saw Happy stopping to talk reason with him, Situ Luoyu’s heart, which had been in despair and gloom, suddenly became lively. His expression became stern, and he opened his mouth to deny the accusations.

“Ever since we parted ways in Fox Cave, I left Wuhu. I also told my subordinates to not act in hostility toward you. That’s why whatever happened was definitely not by my orders. Brother Happy, if you know who did it, tell me the name, and I will immediately drive him out of the game!”

“Stop pretending.”

Happy smiled coldly as he watched Situ Luoyu, who was very good at acting. When Situ Luoyu’s expression changed, he enunciated clearly, “There are certain things which you cannot mend and save. It was the case for Five Venoms, and it’ll be the same for Fallen Feathers Sect!”

While Happy spoke, Thunderous Battle and Little North ended the battle at the rear. With a few jumps, they arrived behind Happy. They stared at Situ Luoyu’s group with aggressive expressions.

Situ Luoyu’s heart turned cold!

At that moment, he finally knew what was to come. It seemed that Fallen Feathers Sect would have a hard time avoiding the disaster before it.

*****

At the same time in Dead She-wolf’s chamber in the second level of Fox Cave were balls of hot fire burning at the center of four claw statues. The heat that spread out made it seem like the flames were lit using saltpeter. It illuminated a girl dressed in human clothes while she stood in the air. She had fair skin, but the naivety that should be on her face could not be found. Instead, she had a fierce expression, and as she let out a forlorn howl, lines that looked as if they belonged to a fox or a wolf covered her face. A grayish black wolf’s tail also shot out from behind her skirt.

Dead She-wolf was completely revealed under the firelight of the Fire Dragon Stones. She could no longer remain invisible!

At that moment, she lost her advantage of being invisible. She was only a normal mini-Boss at Life and Death Realm.

Hundreds of martial artists were gathered around Dead She-wolf’s chamber. They stood at a confrontation, and the distribution of parties was very distinct. Dream Clouds, hall master of Class One Hall, and Wind Void, sect master of Chivalry Sect, could be vaguely seen in the crowd.

“There’s only one Dead She-wolf. Sister Wind Void, how do you think we should distribute her?”

Dream Cloud’s voice was mellow and very pleasant to the ears. While she spoke, she walked gently, daintily, and beautifully out of the crowd, but the silver veil made it hard to see her face clearly. It gave others a feeling that she was incredibly mysterious but also very alluring. The charisma of the top player on the Phoenix Rank spread out, and it entered deep into the hearts of every single person in the room.

“What do you think, sister?” Wind Void’s voice was clear, and there was a heroic note that belonged to youngsters in her voice. She stared straight into Dream Clouds’ eyes.

Dream Clouds’ gaze lit up with amusement, and her dainty voice spread through the chamber.

“There’s only one Dead She-wolf, and also one Nine-tailed Bewitching Treasure. It’s destined that only one side will have it all. To avoid both sects from being injured badly, why don’t we send five people from each side for a match? Whoever emerges as the victor will have all rights to Dead She-wolf.”

Right after she finished speaking, Wind Void cast her cloak to the side with a loud whoosh to reveal her exquisite and tight-fitting attire.

“Why go through so much trouble? We can decide who is the victor with just one match! The loser will take their people and leave,” she said in a firm voice.

“Alright! I heard that your Swimming Dragon, Mandarin Duck Saber has reached perfection. A normal person will not be your opponent. Today, I would like to experience it.”

Dream Clouds moved out of the crowd.

Both of them sandwiched Dead She-wolf in the middle.

The people around them sucked in faint breaths. They did not have to think hard to understand that the fight before them was not going to be as simple as it seemed...
