Chapter 951: 951
“They’re all elites . The people sent by Class One Hall are clearly the small Beijing party that are stationed here all year round to train, and they’re the high-end members of the sect . The one who died just now is He Yi . I know him, he’s at the level of a branch master… Whew, just who is the person fighting against Class One Hall? He’s awesome! He’s fighting against more than ten elites alone… and he actually managed to kill the fifth person?!”
“Idiot! That’s Happy, the one who killed Fu Tianqiong at Beijing . One and a half years ago, he’s an elite who nearly got into the top eight in the world! Look at his skills—What body movement is that?! What the heck?! How did he manage to dodge that?!”
More players came to the area outside Ghost’s Domain to watch the fight .
“It’s impossible that he’s this good! Impossible!”
“My friends, don’t hold back today . Give it your hall! If we don’t kill Happy, how are we supposed to face the others?!”
The Class One Hall elites were originally a little embarrassed of working together to kill Happy while there was a crowd watching them and only had a few people be in charge of attacking, but as Happy seized various chances and injured the sixth person severely before killing him, the ones remaining could no longer stay still .
“We can’t delay this any further . ”
“Fight at full strength! Even though it’s embarrassing that we have to kill him by surrounding him, but if rumors get out that more than ten of us are killed by him alone, it’ll definitely be even more embarrassing for us! Attack!”
The group of people gritted their teeth, and the confidence on their faces had already been replaced by solemnity and wariness . They activated their qi realms and their body fortifications, and some people even switched from the equipment they used to train to the equipment they used to fight .
“As expected of Happy . This is a high-end training group from Class One Hall, but even they have to fight at full force . ”
The players watching did not dare speak loudly . Their exclamations of surprise were limited to a small area .
Ever since Hunter Clan saw how Happy managed to kill his sixth opponent easily while surrounded by enemies, they were in high spirits, and they were almost to start performing a standing ovation for Happy .
“So? Your team leader has pretty good judgment, right? I told you that once Happy reaches Moksha Realm, he’s definitely much stronger than the usual player . ” Mu Qi was grinning so much that he could not stop . His eyes sparkled while he stared at the figure fighting intensely in the battlefield .
The Gu poison user beside him stared at Happy’s figure without blinking . She asked in puzzlement, “That’s strange . I can understand how Happy can move with ease among beasts, but these are Class One Hall elites, there’s no reason for them to miss their target multiple times . Is there a lightness skill at Life and Death Realm that is so powerful?”
“It might be Happy’s secret . Speak no further about it . ” Mu Qi sent her a private message, and the Gu poison user instantly shut her mouth in a show of great sense .
At that moment, a surprised shout suddenly rose from the side .
Hunter Clan quickly moved and chased after Happy as well as Class One Hall .
This was what happened, when Happy was surrounded by trouble after being encircled for a long time by those Class One Hall elites, he suddenly decided to throw some people despite the fact that they weighed more than he did . He grabbed two people at the same time and flung one at five elites while the other was thrown into the canyon . While the Class One Hall members were thrown into disorder, he forced his way out of the encirclement and chased after the elite who was now alone near the canyon .

Fierce, nonstop wind generated by kicks caused that Class One Hall elite to be kicked into the canyon in Ghost’s Domain like a punching bag .
The remaining Class One Hall members became anxious . They chased after them into the canyon .
At that moment, even the people outside became anxious .
The visibility in the canyon in Ghost’s Domain was bad, and if they were just slightly further away from the place, they would not even be able to see what was happening .
This was especially so when it came to this sort of high-end fights . They were as quick as the wind and fierce as lightning . The tempo in these fights was very fast, and only a handful of people standing at the entrance to the canyon can vaguely see a few figures inside, but they were completely helpless when it came to observing the details in this . They only heard continuous grunts and continuous sound of palm-generated wind rise . They also saw a few people’s figures move among the shadows and light from weapons . They looked like a blurry movie with crude images .
The people outside were even worse off . They continued trying to squeeze inside, but the entrance to the canyon was already narrow to begin with, and it had been blocked for a long time . There were now too many people gathered there, and it was impossible for the people to get closer for the time being .
“People in front! Move, will you?!”
“Move, my foot! Don’t you know what goes on inside Ghost’s Domain? Who will be able to see clearly?! If you want to participate in the fight, I don’t mind tossing you inside!”
There were plenty of elites who trained regularly in Ghost’s Domain, and naturally, they understood the rule of remaining silent in the area . When they heard this, they did not hold back in shouting back .
“Ah! So noisy! What’s the point in arguing?! Those who know the rules, shut up! If you don’t have the ability to discern locations based on the sound of wind, why did you even come over to train in Ghost’s Domain?”
The people outside instantly fell silent .
Those from Hunter Clan found themselves speechless .
High-end players knew how to tell what was going on with a battle based on the sounds made, but most of the people in Hunter Clan were trap masters . It was clear that this was not their forte .
The group looked at each other at a loss and sent private messages .
“There’s no other way . We can only wait for Happy to come out . I believe he won’t take too long . ” Mu Qi took a look at the time and answered thusly .
“How did you know that Happy will come out?” someone asked .
But he was answered by Mu Qi’s scorn . “Idiot, Happy intentionally lured all of them into the canyon because there will be certain limitations imposed on a group relying on the advantage of numbers . The demands on skill and strength will also become greater . Happy has always been someone who can quickly end a fight when there’s few people around him . Do you think that those from Class One Hall still have any hope of winning? Just you watch, before long, the fight will end!”
He stopped talking for a moment . Then, Mu Qi’s expression suddenly grew dark, and he sighed with emotion . “But after this fight, Class One Hall might end up targeting Happy even more . ”
Indeed, what Mu Qi said was true . If Happy came out alive and that high-end training party from Class One Hall all died, while Happy’s fame will increase, and he will regain his reputation as a super elite, which will bring him great positive effects, Class One Hall will suffer a great blow to their dignity, and they already had a grudge that cannot be dispelled between them and Happy . In the future, they will definitely target Happy at full strength, and his days in the game in the future will definitely be incredibly difficult .

A few minutes passed . The sounds inside finally started dwindling, and while it had been frequent in the beginning, now, there was scarcely any sound coming from within . Then, silence dominated the canyon .
The people in front could see everything clearly, and they were all shocked .
Within the blurry miasma was one last remaining person . He stood in the canyon while he staggered . Then, he swayed for a moment before he suddenly bent down and began groping about the ground .
All those with good judgment could understand just who managed to stay alive and what exactly he was doing .
The battle ended, and he was collecting the loot that had a certain percentage of dropping from a player when he or she died .
A high-end sect like Class One Hall and a high-end training group like this particular party will definitely carry with them some money or other items .
When they died, they will drop a certain ratio of money, and there was also a certain percentage of them dropping their equipment .
Even if a person was so unlucky that Lady Luck treated them like clowns, they should still be able to get one or two pieces of equipment, which meant that whoever remained alive will gain quite the number of rewards .
Once they saw Happy disappearing into the canyon after groping about the ground, the group of martial artists exchanged a gaze that everyone understood, and like a dam with its floodgate opened, they surged inside .
There were hidden weapons, throwing knives, and trenches left by various weapons all around the canyon . By the looks of it, they went through an incredibly intense and brutal fight .
The few remaining elites from Class One Hall were all killed, and their corpses had become blurry .
This news spread to the back of the crowd like a virus, and the crowd instantly burst into commotion .
But many people did not notice that Hunter Clan’s Mu Qi had already led his group to squeeze past the crowd, and they entered Ghost’s Domain .
At a corner of the canyon in Ghost’s Domain was a man with a Bamboo Hat, he mixed with them without making a sound and continued moving forward .
The party continued moving forward, and no one made a sound during their journey forward .
But they were actually sending private messages to each other, and the group was actually chatting up a storm since a long time ago .
“Boss Happy, you’re amazing!”
“You actually killed He Yi’s entire group!”
“They’re all either branch masters or vice branch masters, and all of them are elites ranked within the top thousand in Class One Hall…”
“You fought against more than ten of them in one go! You’re amazing!”
The man with the Bamboo Hat was naturally Happy . When he faced the party’s barrage of words, he did not even know how to speak up . He just shook his head repeatedly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry . He did not say anything either but just pressed a hand against his chest .
It was only at that moment that Mu Qi and his group noticed that the situation was off .
“What’s wrong? You’re injured?”
Hunter Clan surged forward and surrounded him . The Gu poison user was an observant girl, and she noticed that there was a layer of red at the spot where Happy pushed against his chest . Everyone instantly panicked when they pointed it out .
Happy lifted his slightly pale face and forced a smile, “I didn’t expect that Class One Hall will be so ruthless that a normal branch master will actually have a Hill-Breaker Needle that can be fired automatically . ”
Hunter Clan’s trap masters had their expressions change .
“That means he’s a trap master, and he’s definitely Class One Hall’s Snow Dragon!”
“That’s not a normal Hill-Breaker Needle . It’s a demon vessel called Grieving Needle, and you can’t get it out!”
Mu Qi’s expression changed .
“Is it the item that was circulating around the net some time ago?”
“Judging by your expressions, this thing seems to be a little famous . ” Happy observed these people and moved his palm away slightly to cast a glance at the butt of the needle at his chest, which had some black light left on it .
“It’s not just famous, that thing is incredibly domineering . Someone was struck by this when he killed a trap master . He was originally alright, and he thought he would be okay once he took some medicine, but he will feel pain once in a while, and his condition just kept deteriorating . He also used up a lot of his qi because of it . He basically couldn’t do anything, and this condition lasted for a full hour before he died . ”
“This thing is fatal?” Happy’s expression finally turned a little grave .
Someone explained, “This is a very sinister demon vessel! Those who are struck by it will feel a pain worse than death! It’s also an item high-end trap masters long for because it can remain completely silent at close distance, and it’s very easy for enemies to be struck by it, and those who are will basically die . ”
Once he finished speaking, he suddenly cast Happy a puzzled glance . “That’s strange, I heard that those who are struck by it will have a hard time even activating their body fortifications, much less think about grinding . You seem to have been struck for a long time . Why do you still seem fine?”
“…You don’t need to bother yourself with that . Tell me, is there a way to get it out . ”
In truth, Happy had tried to use his qi to force out the hidden weapon, but the item seemed to have claws in it and seized onto something . When he tried using strength, it hurt a lot .
“I don’t think there’s a way to get it out, but we can go back to the city and ask for help at a pharmacy,” Mu Qi suggested .
It was clear that Happy’s current condition made it difficult for him to continue training .
However, Happy’s reaction made all of Hunter Clan dumbfounded .
“There’s no need for that . Since I can’t get it out, then I won’t . Just let it continue hurting like this . ”
As he spoke, he continued heading into the depths of Ghost’s Domain .

Only Villains Do That

This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world.

Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean.
