Chapter 590: 590
“This Yang Xuyan… why is he fighting against Happy instead of assassinating Song Yuanqiao?”
Zhou Yu seemed to be disappointed in Yang Xuyan while standing in an alley . He had seen everything that happened in the yard, and his gaze was grave .
But he did not know that in Yang Xuyan’s heart, Happy had already become his mortal enemy . Every time he saw Happy, he wanted to get rid of him to feel safe . He did not want to miss even a single chance to kill him .
What he did not expect, however, was that while Happy’s qi realm was not high, his endless stream of qi, mysterious techniques, and calmness while he fought allowed him to negate the dangers around him repeatedly . It forced Yang Xuyan to retreat empty-handed once more .
“Yang Xuyan!”
A cold snort came from Shi Feixuan’s mouth . She injured the brute severely with one strike and arrived beside Happy without stopping . “Let me handle Shadow Assassin . You just need to last a little longer so that Elder Chen can transport everyone away through the underground tunnel . ”
“Alright!”
Happy already felt that he was surrounded by too many troubles when he had to face four Inaction Realm martial artists .
While Dragon Swings Its Tail was a profound technique, when he used it with Joined Finger, it used up a lot of his qi . Even Nine Yang Divine Skill had a hard time swiftly recovering it, so he could not use that combination repeatedly . However, if he only had to handle the two monsters of Phoenix Sun, he was confident that he could still do it! But…
The quest had told him that he had to kill at least two evil cult elites at the level of elders .
Happy shifted his gaze to the brute who was heavily injured on the side, and a thought came to his mind .
For one, the quest required him to do it, and for two, it was usually very hard for players to run into Inaction Realm martial artists . They had a lot of good items on them, so if Happy could kill them, he should do his best to do so .
The two monsters of Phoenix Sun clearly did not expect that Happy would set his sights on their third brother despite being surrounded by danger . When the battle restarted, they just chased after Happy without noticing that anything was off . While they exchanged blows, they drew closer to the brute .

Happy’s expression was calm .
When the two monsters of Phoenix Sun noticed that, a hint of delight appeared on their faces .
When they drew closer to the brute, Happy could clearly sense that the tall and thin man’s kicks had become much fiercer . The shadows of his kicks flickered, and they brought with them whistles that tore through the air and could make a person feel suffocated . His momentum was astonishing!
The short and capable man had a cold and fierce expression . He charged forward with short and swift steps, and saber glares tore through the air like a waterfall, forcing Happy to continuously avoid their offense .
But he could not shake them off completely!
When Happy passed by the area near the brute, his heart sank . He noticed that the brute’s body had suddenly become much tenser, and his breathing also became much longer . He was behaving like a leopard that had already accumulated its strength and was prepared to attack .
But what surprised Happy was that even though the man was prepared to launch a counterattack, nothing happened .
The two monsters of Phoenix Sun were forced to come closer and closer to the brute!
Happy observed them discreetly and calmly, and it was only then that he noticed that the brute had relaxed from his tensed position . He seemed to have released a large breath of relief .
‘I see!’
Just then, he might not have tensed up because he wanted to attack Happy, but because he wanted to protect himself . It was truly impossible for Happy to kill an Inaction Realm martial artist .
But when he circled round the yard and approached the brute the second time, the brute’s reaction was very strange .
He seemed to have become certain that Happy did not have the ability to fight back or spare any strength to attack him while he was facing the attacks of the two monsters of Phoenix Sun . The brute restrained his presence then and tensed up . He narrowed his eyes slightly while staring at Happy’s back .
He suddenly moved!
“Perfect timing!”
The brute wanted to take the risk to deliver a blow to Happy and injure him . Even if he could not kill Happy on the spot, if he worked together with his brothers and injured him so that his strength would drop, they would be able to break their current stalemate .

But what he did not expect was that while he had held back, Happy had held back even more!
When the brute took action, Happy activated Dragon Swings Its Tail without a word .
The brute saw that his lightning fast palm was about to hit Happy’s back, but he did not expect that there would be a thick layer of qi protecting him . Right when he touched it, it reflected his attack as if he had triggered some sort of mechanism .
His attack vanished like it was some sort of miracle, and it was immediately followed by a wild dragon roar accompanied by the shrill sound of the air being torn . It rang loudly in the brute’s ears .
When he turned his head around, he saw the shadow of a leg coming in front of his face through the corner of his eyes . He could not dodge it in time, and he used his head to block it .
The leg shadow suddenly sank down .
Boom!
A loud bang rose, and the leg hit the brute’s neck .
The martial artists in the area felt that everything had happened in a flash . Suddenly, the brute who ambushed Happy had his neck bent out of shape . He did not even have time to grunt and was sent plummeting to the ground . A large pit formed from the crash, and he never got up again .
“Third!”
When the short and capable man saw that his brother had not succeeded in his ambush but was instead sent sprawling on the ground with a single kick, he was so shocked that his hair rose . He and his other brother shouted angrily, and their offense instantly became even fiercer .
But in their haste, their teamwork became slightly chaotic, and openings appeared .
The punches from the tall and thin man had become much faster, and he chased after Happy, who retreated . His legs brought up loud whistles in the air, and the continuous stream of leg shadows sealed up all the exits that Happy could take . Judging by the man’s fierce attacks, he seemed to want to take Happy down in one go .
The short and capable man was rather worried about the brute . He looked at him a few more times before he took a few feet back .
That was a rare chance, so there was no way that Happy would miss it .
He shut his eyes, and the tall and thin man’s attacks were clearly reflected in his mind . He could see each change and the next move, which allowed him to retreat calmly while he swung his arms in a composed manner . He continuously executed Joined Finger while also throwing a few feints while he was at it, which made it hard to tell whether he was truly attacking .
Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
He attacked a few times, and each strike accurately hit the thin and tall man’s legs .
Even though the man’s kicks were domineering and shocking, once he withstood a few Joined Finger attacks to his legs, his offense was finally broken . After all, the rebounding damage that came from Joined Finger was stronger with every subsequent attack .
All of that might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it happened very quickly .
Happy attacked as quickly as lightning . When he executed the fifth finger, he accurately caught the moment when the thin and tall man’s offense stopped for a brief moment .
He suddenly tapped against the ground, and before his momentum vanished completely, he rushed forward at an even faster speed and instantly arrived in front of the tall and thin man .
The man had yet to launch his offense!
He was caught off guard, and Happy’s attack took him back . He reflexively executed two knifehand strikes, but Happy had set his plan up since sometime ago, so there was no way he would let his opponent turn the tides so easily .
Dragon Capture!
He seized the thin and tall man’s arm .
The huge rebound and mysterious attack diminished the man’s momentum!
Happy used that opportunity to quickly press three of his fingers together while his hand was still on the thin and tall man’s arm . He jabbed forward as quickly as lightning!
The thin and tall man’s veins popped up . He cried out in pain, but he could not activate his body fortification in time, because he was already struck . An astonishing wave of power charged into his body, and it instantly destroyed the blood circulation and meridian system in his arm . It fell limp to his side from the single tap .
