Chapter 329: Fight Against Sunflower Once More

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The situation at Blood River Sect was not good!

The death of around ten or so elites the day before had already damaged Blood River Sect slightly. Earlier in the day, they had also summoned all the elites in the sect to forcefully retrieve the crystal mine that belonged to them, which left their headquarters empty. They did not have anyone who could hold the fort.

Fortunately, they were up against Cold Moon Palace, who was the weakest among the three great sects.

Even though it had Lu Mingyue, who was a superb player, they lacked top-class players and good equipment, so in reality they were just a small, second-rate sect. Hence, they spent quite a lot of time while attacking Blood River Sect’s headquarters.

If it were not for the fact that Lu Mingyue simply could not watch anymore and gave his people a little bit of pressure, Cold Moon Palace might not have even been able to get past Blood River Sect’s bow formation.

Lu Mingyue seemed to want to use that battle to train his forces. He rarely attacked and just watched his people. The bloody battle was absolutely unlike Class One Hall’s extreme style of destroying a sect’s foundation.

The people from Blood River Sect returned in time to provide reinforcements.

They were earlier than Lu Mingyue had expected, but unfortunately for them, they were faced with a lunatic. Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens could only be said to be a really unlucky person.

Regardless of whether it was Sunflower Manual’s Needle Tide, Soft Palm Strike, or Sunflower Aura, all these techniques were very suitable for group fights. In the blink of an eye, a quarter of more than two hundred elites were killed. Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens felt his heart ache at the sight of it, and he was forced to switch from counterattacking to limited defense. He stalled for time while hoping that Jade Fox Palace would soon finish the fight on their side.

Such a move was somewhat effective against Lu Mingyue. After all, Area of Effect skills from ultimate techniques had to be supported by a great amount of qi. If he failed once, Lu Mingyue needed to use quite a number of medicinal pills to restore his qi. Gradually, he was forced to use his people to charge against Blood River Sect’s formation while he himself killed during the chaos.

However, they still did not become any faster.

Slowly, Lu Mingyue grew mad. “Hmph! You’re just a group of trapped beasts struggling on the brink of death!”

He moved the tip of his thumb to touch his middle finger and placed his hand by his face. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, just like a beautiful woman’s; they shone in a manner that could cause people’s imaginations wander. Then, he crashed violently into Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens, who stood in the crowd.

Bang!

His Soft Palm Strike could be seen, but the attack itself was intangible. His palm moved through the chaotic crowd and attacked Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens’ chest, who had been giving tactical orders!

Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He took a few steps back, and blood trickled down his lips. He bared his teeth, revealing the red on them. “Quick! Send a signal for help! Jade Fox Palace should be done by now! Defend the place with your life!”

“Why do you still have time for so much nonsense?”

There was a blush and eyeshadow on Lu Mingyue’s face. His feminine qualities could easily be detected when he looked down from high above at Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens with a cold glare in his eyes.

“You just keep yammering on and on!”

He flicked his wrist once he placed his thumb against his middle finger, and a crystal needle shot out without a sound

Shick!

A faint hint of red appeared on his face, but Lu Mingyue soon covered it with his sleeve.

Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens only noticed that the situation was bad when the crystal needle appeared in front of him. His eyes went wide, but he was too late. A speck of red appeared at the center of his forehead before he could react.

His consciousness swiftly faded away!

The people around him did not even notice what had happened. It was only when Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens fell limply against two of his sect members that the players noticed the abnormality.

“Sect master!”

“Sect master!”

All of the sect members screamed while their eyes filled with grief.

“Kill them!”

“We have to go all out!”

Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens’ death made Blood River Sect lose its final shred of patience. An unprecedented ferociousness and blood lust rose in the sect members. They gave up on defense and pounced on the Cold Moon Palace people regardless of the cost.

Underneath their grief was great morale!

The people of Cold Moon Palace could not quite handle the attack. Dozens of players were killed the moment they went up against the Blood River Sect. They instantly showed signs of losing and began to be forced back.

“You bunch of useless garbage!”

With a coquettish shout, Lu Mingyue flicked his wrists in the air. Once he killed dozens of Blood River Sect elites, he took a Dew Pill, and a demonic sound echoed above Blood River Sect.

Sunflower Aura!

Since Lu Mingyue could differentiate his enemies from his allies, his Sunflower Aura only affected his enemies, and the scene of Blood River Sect suppressing Cold Moon Palace instantly changed.

The people of Blood River Sect felt as if they had sank into a swamp. Their mobility was reduced, and they felt as if there was a woman holding their arms. Their attack speed became slower, and all they could hear was the demonic sound that could control their souls. Their field of vision became very strange as well, and they could occasionally see graceful figures moving past them.

The morele of Cold Moon Palace instantly rose!

“Palace master, you’re awesome!”

“Kill them!”

The situation in the battlefield instantly changed. In a flash, around a dozen elites of Blood River Sect were killed. The others only managed to not be killed for the time being because of their body fortification, which was of a pretty good standard.

“Everyone, be careful! It’s Sunflower Aura, you have to circulate your qi to your eyes and ears— AH!”

A needle pierced the throat of the Blood River Sect elite who had spoken up. He did not even manage to finish his sentence.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Flying needles flew nonstop.

Lu Mingyue finally decided not to preserve his strength and used his full power to kill.

Sunflower Aura might be an ingenious technique, but it used up a lot of qi. He would need to use a few minutes to restore his stamina and qi later. If he did not end the fight quickly, during the period of time he couldn’t defend his sect members, there was a high possibility that Cold Moon Palace would end up being completely wiped out.

Blood gushed into the air and pained screams rang in everyone’s ears in Blood River Sect’s headquarters.

Those were the signs of destruction.

When Lu Mingyue saw that the people behind him had approached the stairs of the headquarters, a shocking whistle that shook Baokang County Town came from afar.

Lu Mingyue said nothing, but his gaze focused, and he turned around as if he suddenly thought of something.

The shift in his field of vision allowed him to see a figure dressed in blue. That person had a face he was extremely familiar with, and there was a calm smile on it. The man looked elegant as he walked through the ground filled with corpses toward Lu Mingyue.

“It’s you,” Lu Mingyue said with a solemn expression.

Happy answered with a smile still on his face. “It has been a month since we met. Brother Lu, you are even more dazzling and charming than before.”

There was no hint of mockery in his words. What he said was the truth. Lu Mingyue was dressed in a red robe and there was a blush on his face as well as blue eyeshadow. With his fiery red lips, those who did not know would never think that the person in front of them was a man.

“Hmph!” Even his voice had become feminine, and he sounded natural when he spoke that way. Happy did not know whether Lu Mingyue had gotten used to it or had simply accepted all of Dongfang Bubai’s inheritance, but it did not matter much to him

“You’re late. Blood River Sect already belongs to Cold Moon Palace.”

Even though they had a grudge against each other, there was not a lot of bad blood between them. On top of that, Lu Mingyue knew that there was a rift between Blood River Sect and Thunderous Battle, so he thought that Happy had come because Thunderous Battle had died. In his eyes, Happy’s goal for coming was the same as his.

But unfortunately for him…

“You haven’t conquered it yet, have you?”

Happy smiled and swept his gaze over the area, but he did not find Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens in the crowd. He scowled at that.

“Where is your sect master?” he asked loudly.

In truth, when the people of Blood River Sect heard their conversation and learned that the person who came was Happy, they gave up on all hope in protecting their sect’s foundation.

Yet at the same time, crazed delight appeared on the faces of the survivors who had come back with Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens.

“Boss Happy, our boss has just been killed by Lu Mingyue! You…”

The title the Blood River Sect members gave was not normal, and Lu Mingyue cast Happy an uneasy glance.

Happy’s reaction was very strange.

He brought out his Noble Sword from his Universe Bag and drew it from its sheath without hesitation before sighing. “Brother Lu, looks like we can’t avoid fighting against each other.”

Lu Mingyue’s expression turned incredibly unpleasant.
