“Fell to Zhao Min’s vicious scheme. Unable to explain yourself.

“Ding!”

The system sent him a notification.

“Activated hidden quest! Zhou Zhiruo woke up and saw through Zhao Min’s vicious scheme! She believes deeply in Young Swordsman Happy. Zhou Zhiruo asks you to take Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber and flee from Xie Xun’s pursuit, leave Spirit Snake Island, and extract Book of Wumu as well as Nine Yin Manual.”

‘I knew it!’

Happy actually noticed Zhao Min’s plot of pretending to faint when he carried Zhou Zhiruo out of the cave. She had pushed the blame of stealing Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber on him.

With this sort of situation, he truly could not explain himself even if he tried to.

When Xie Xun woke up, Happy held two divine weapons in his hands, and Xie Xun had even heard him. Right now, even if he had multiple mouths, there was no way he could prove himself innocent before the enraged Lion King.

As for Zhao Min, she had a silver tongue, and she was also protected by Zhang Wuji. Even though Zhang Wuji would not do anything to Happy, as of right then, Golden Haired Lion King was already a very difficult obstacle.

‘I have to go!’

Happy did not hesitate.

He put down Zhou Zhiruo, and they fled the cave one after another.

“Thief! How dare you try and run?!”

Golden Haired Lion King flew into a rage! When he saw Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min wake up one by one, he immediately became at ease. He left behind the two women and shot forth like lightning to chase after Happy and Zhou Zhiruo.

Naturally, it was incredibly easy for an Inaction Realm martial artist to catch up to a martial artist in Moksha Realm and another in Life and Death Realm.

Happy knew that the chase could not continue. He had to let Zhou Zhiruo leave first while he held Golden Haired Lion King back, or else, neither of them could escape Spirit Snake Island.

“I’ll hold him back for a while. Zhiruo, run to the sea.”

Happy tossed Dragon Saber to Zhou Zhiruo, and she nodded. “I’ll wait for you by the sea!”

Right then, Zhou Zhiruo was hurt by Zhang Wuji’s words, and her love turned to hate. She made up her mind to destroy her love for him and make Emei Sect powerful.

When Zhao Min failed to snatch the divine weapons, Zhou Zhiruo seized the chance and decided to leave Spirit Snake Island with Happy then take out the two manuals before anything else!

There were no resources on Spirit Snake Island, and there were no signs of any players on it either. Zhou Zhiruo’s safety was thus assured.

When Happy thought of that, he turned around resolutely and drew Heavenly Sword from its saber with a clang.

Whine!

An astonishing sword aura rose into the sky!

Golden Haired Lion King was worried about the whereabouts of Dragon Saber, but when he felt a mighty force that could tear his face apart charging at him like lightning, he became much more serious and quickly moved to avoid it.

Crack… Clatter!

Wherever Heavenly Sword’s aura passed through the area behind Golden Haired Lion King, it cut down everything. An area of more than ninety-eight feet of bamboo trees was instantly cut down, and the bamboos toppled over in large quantities, shocking countless birds so much that they flew into the air.

The various sounds that rose instantly covered up Happy’s tracks.

“Brat, do you think that you’ll be fine if you can remain quiet?” Xie Xun suddenly laughed coldly once he was done being angry. “Taste my Lion’s Roar!”

Once he finished speaking, he suddenly sucked in a deep breath, and it looked like most the air around him looked had been sucked into his lungs.

Whine!

A dazzling sword force charged into the sky and sliced through the it! Heavenly Sword’s superb damage was something that even Xie Xun, who was in Inaction Realm, did not dare to touch. He had to stop executing his skill and sucking in air to execute Lion’s Roar!

When Lion King avoided the attack, he grew truly angry!

Time was ticking, and Zhou Zhiruo was going further into the distance with Dragon Saber. It would be practically impossible for him to catch up to her later. In his anger, Xie Xun finally brought out all his fighting prowess.

He positioned his legs firmly on the ground and drew a long breath. He clenched his fists tightly, and an astonishing whistle accompanied his fist when he punched forward. It was followed by an explosive bang. Read latest chapters at vipnovel.com

Bang!

Happy activated Petite Dragon, and a bamboo shrub exploded behind him.

The bamboo pieces that flew everywhere crashed against his Golden Bell Cocoon, which had risen around his body. Golden Bell Cocoon remained a vigorous presence and did not budge.

“You have some skill, brat.”

Xie Xun suddenly attacked even faster than before.

Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

When an Inaction Realm fighter decided to fight at full strength, there was no martial artist in the world who could fight against them head-on.

But Happy stood in front of Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun without taking a step back. He did not use Petite Dragon to avoid his attacks all the time. After all, he’d had a deep level of understanding toward Seven Wounds Fist in his previous life, and he could tell just what was the attack trajectory based on Golden Haired Lion King’s starting stance. His Phantasm Body Movement Skill also allowed him to land without sound, which helped him avoid Golden Haired Lion King’s fists.

He used Phantasm Body Movement Skill continuously to shift his position so that Golden Haired Lion King’s Seven Wounds Fist would not reach him.

Even though Golden Haired Lion King was incredibly fast and Happy had to occasionally use Petite Dragon to assist him in avoiding the attacks, as Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun grew more furious, Happy gained an understanding of Xie Xun’s rhythm and speed as the fight progressed. He closed his eyes and purely relied on the activity of Xie Xun’s qi to lock down on him. He sensed every one of Xie Xun’s movements, and because of it, he reacted even faster than before.

Boom!

BOOM!

Happy might have seemed to be in trouble and a very perilous situation while surrounded by shrill and piercing whistles as well as fist-generated wind that could make a person suffocate, but all the damage was absorbed by the ground. Huge pits appeared one after another from the force of the punches.

It was a sorry sight to behold! But Happy, who moved like lightning, was completely uninjured.

“You’re pretty good.” Xie Xun’s expression grew graver.

After some time passed, Xie Xun finally realized that Seven Wounds Fist, which ruled over the world of martial artists, could not injure the young lad, and he decided to use Lion’s Roar once more.

‘I have to go now!’

Happy seized the moment Xie Xun’s attacks weakened and suddenly stopped moving to swing his sword abruptly in the air!

Birth of the Flying Dragon!

A sword force that rushed into the sky charged toward Xie Xun with a mighty force. At the same time, a silver dragon-shaped qi force followed closely behind it to ram into Xie Xun.

Bang!

The qi at Xie Xun’s chest tried to sink into his chest in a frenzy, and a rarely seen tint of red appeared on his face. He took more than ten steps back before he could completely resolve the impact from Heavenly Sword’s sword qi.

“As expected of Heavenly Sword!”

He stopped circulating his qi for a moment.

When Xie Xun raised his head, he noticed that he could no longer sense Happy nearby. Happy had actually seized the chance when he executed the last slash to charge into the forest without turning back. With a few jumps, he vanished without a trace.

“Damn it!”

Xie Xun roared in anger. As he shouted, he was about to chase after Happy, but it was a pity that his hearing only allowed him to hear sounds within a limited range. Happy ran extremely quickly, so in the blink of an eye, he had already escaped 328 feet away.

“Foster father!”

Zhang Wuji finally arrived at the scene with a shout of shock.

“Are you alright? I heard from Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min what happened just now, and I immediately went after you. What happened? Did Miss Zhou truly snatch Dragon Saber together with Young Swordsman Happy?”

“Hmph!” Xie Xun was extremely enraged. “I had been on guard against all my enemies, but I couldn’t fend against the thief who was close to me!

“Wuji, my son, hurry up and chase after them. They should not have reached the shore yet! Help me get my saber back!”

Zhang Wuji said nothing. He had a troubled look on his face.

He originally wanted to say that Happy and Zhou Zhiruo were not people like that, but that was the truth of the situation right then, so he could only nod and agree to his foster father’s request.

When Zhang Wuji arrived at the shore, Happy and Zhou Zhiruo had already gotten on a boat and were rowing it into the sea.

But they were just 328 feet away from the shore, and that distance was not far for Zhang Wuji.

When Happy saw Zhang Wuji jump toward them, he shouted out loudly, “Cult Master Zhang, I know that what happened today will be something that I cannot explain no matter how much I try, but Zhao Min was the one who snatched Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber. However, when she fled from the cave, I injured her, and she shifted the blame to me!

“When Great Swordsman Xie woke up, he attacked me without trying to understand the situation, and I am filled with indignation! This Dragon Saber is a treasure of the world, but it is also a murderous saber Great Swordsman Xie stole and used to take millions of lives! Right now, if you insist on snatching it back, then even if my skills are weak, I will fight against you to protect Miss Zhou.”

When he finished speaking, most of the fierce aura around Zhang Wuji disappeared. He landed steadily on the bow of the boat and stared at Happy and Zhou Zhiruo, who stood shoulder to shoulder together. There was a complicated look on his face.
