Chapter 982: Wave-like Subtle Steps

Rumble! Rumble!

At the moment Sealed in Heart’s party came out of the ruins of Sky Demon Sect, the Class One Hall members outside the ruins also received news of the attack at the same time . They ran over from all directions and gathered together to form a large, black dragon . Their movements let out loud rumbles that thundered through the sky and earth on the plains, and those sounds headed in the direction of Sky Demon Branch .

When those thousands of people gathered together, they formed a river made of steel and iron, and they bared their fangs and claws with murderous intent spilling out from them in streams .

But at that moment, Sealed in Heart’s heart was filled with contempt .

Originally, he was filled with admiration and a myriad of other emotions when Happy killed the three elites from Wild Wolves . After all, compared to them, Happy had missed an entire year and a half of playing the game, and yet, even so, he managed to climb to the top of the game and surpassed all those in front of him .

Happy’s personal strength was absolutely not to be underestimated .

But if he attacked a target that was not to be fought with brute strength at a wrong moment, he was just marching to his own death .

Wild Wolves was strong because of their personal strength, their elusive assassination techniques, and the terrifying atmosphere they created .

To Sealed in Heart, Happy’s feat of killing three Wild Wolves had caused him to think that he was invincible . Attacking Class One Hall was a sign of his conceit and ignorance .

“Today, I, Sealed in Heart and Class One Hall will end your legend!”

When the group returned to Sky Demon Branch last night in haste, some smart members had already moved the hitching posts away so that the group could charge into the branch .

The ground trembled, and the horses surrounded the branch .

Class One Hall did indeed do a great job when it came to creating awe-inspiring presences . They put up haughty airs and surrounded Sky Demon Branch to the point that not even a drop of water could escape from them . Then, the group parted to open up a path . Sealed in Heart and his three vice branch masters walked through the path in a majestic gait .

However, when they passed by the martial arts training ground in the front yard, they stopped moving for a while .

The blood in the training ground had not dried just yet . There were more than seventy corpses strewn all over the place, and it looked incredibly messy .

They frowned . Sealed in Heart and the rest had the anger in their hearts burn even stronger .

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The group of people walked into the building for Sky Demon Branch . The stairs and the building itself also had more than ten Class One Hall members’ corpses strewn all over the place .

Then, a large group of Class One Hall elites drew their weapons, and they wanted badly to immediately locate the invader who invaded Sky Demon Branch so that they could rip him into shreds .

When had Class One Hall ever embarrassed themselves so much? When had someone ever come to their doorstep so fearlessly and outrageously to persecute them?

*****

Class One Hall surged into the branch with a loud whoosh . They quickly moved through the corridors and controlled the entire branch, but they still could find no traces of Happy .

“Where did he go?!”

“Did he run away?!”

While countless Class One Hall members discussed their findings with each other as they searched everywhere, Sealed in Heart and his three vice branch masters stood still at the center of the hall . Sealed in Heart then shouted loudly, “You don’t have to search anymore . He’s on the roof!”

At the same time he spoke, he threw nine darts continuously at the roof .

He originally wanted to force Happy to reveal himself with some beautifully executed dart throws, but he did not expect that those darts would just sink into the roof like mud melting into the sea . No movement could be detected, and not even a single sound was heard .

The Class One Hall elites behind Sealed in Heart saw the embarrassment their branch master felt . They looked at each other and simultaneously jumped up to land on the roof with a loud whoosh .

They activated their qi realms and body fortifications .

While the sounds of air being pushed away was heard, all nine darts that Sealed in Heart threw flew back from the roof, and they shot in front of four Class One Hall elites .

Those four people were stunned, but they said nothing and just blocked those darts .

“Be careful of hidden forces!”

Sealed in Heart widened his eyes, and he could already sense the power contained in the darts as they tore through the air . So, he quickly cried out a word of warning to his friends .

Unfortunately, even though they blocked the darts, they did not manage to block the hidden force .

Also, almost at the same moment he warned his friends, a loud explosion suddenly erupted on the roof . The tiles on the roof exploded abruptly and turned into countless fine fragments that filled the air . Then, it went to attack the Class One Hall members on the ground with a fierce momentum .

When the four Class One Hall members faced the nine darts and the dense wave of fragments that came charging at them, they could only cry in bitterness in their hearts .

The hidden force from the darts had delivered such a shock to them that they could practically not hold their weapons . They could not free up their hands to block the attack from the fragments at all .

These people had come with a grand momentum, but left in a pathetic manner .

They crashed on the ground like rolling gourds, and they looked incredibly pathetic .

When he saw that his own people had suffered quite the setback right at the first exchange, Sealed in Heart snorted coldly, had his qi fluctuate, and sent it in the form of a shock wave through the entire place .

“As expected of Happy, the person who can fight against Wild Wolves . You do have some skill with you . But today, you actually thought about challenging us when you only have this amount of skill with you? Don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself a little too much?!”

The imposing mannerisms and arrogance of a top-class sect was completely revealed in Sealed in Heart’s posture .

His words also caused countless Class One Hall members who were originally wary of Happy to become less respectful of him . They puffed out their chests and glared at the person who appeared on the roof .

“Provoke?” Happy appeared on the roof with a cold expression and looked down . An aggressive, awe-inspiring glare shone through his eyes, and as he released a cold snort that caused their hearts to tremble, he said something that delivered a huge blow to the hearts of all the people in the area . “One and a half years ago, Class One Hall’s vice hall master, Blood Robes worked together with Five Venoms, which is a sect affiliated to you, to set me up . They caused me to lie in bed for one and a half years, and you’re saying that I’m provoking you right now?!”

His last five words were spoken with anger and great might . As he fixed his stare at Sealed in Heart, the latter found himself shuddering a little .

But Happy had not finished speaking . He looked over the entire branch angrily .

“After I returned to the game, your hall master, Dream Clouds, and Blood Alliance’s master, Blood Robes, has repeatedly sent people to attack me and prevent me from training, and did I do anything to provoke them into attacking me?!”

Before he fell into a coma, Happy never had the experience of facing so many elites in one go, but after he went to the other world, he had run into multiple major events, and right now, controlling situations was naturally no longer a problem for him .

When he saw that the aggression and desire for revenge within countless Class One Hall members had been suppressed because of his words, Happy delivered another huge blow at them .

“I would have ignored all of you if you just attacked me, but since yesterday till today, my close friends have been attacked by Blood Alliance and Five Venoms! Hmph! Was that because I provoked you again?!

“Five Venoms is an infamous sect, and I have known since a long time ago that it is a weapon Hall Master Dream Clouds created! But do you really think that I, Happy, will not dare exact revenge on Class One Hall just because I am alone?! Do you really think I will take all that you did to me lying down for the rest of my life?!”

Happy’s interrogations caused many of the Class One Hall members in the area to fall silent .

Even Sealed in Heart looked shocked but enlightened .

He was originally curious as to why Happy would suddenly do something so out of character . So, their hall master had actually begun to attack Happy .

If that were the case, Sealed in Heart knew that there was no longer any need for him to continue wasting his breath with Happy . He also knew that Happy will definitely not stop attacking Sky Demon Sect easily . His gaze immediately turned cold, and he said, “Happy, stop with the nonsense . Five Venoms is Five Venoms, and Class One Hall is Class One Hall! Even if you have a grudge against Blood Alliance, go and seek vengeance against them and Blood Robes! This has nothing to do with Class One Hall, and we will not allow you to do as you please at our branch!”

“…Doing as I please?” Happy laughed mockingly . “I’m not the one doing as I please . Class One Hall is the one acting presumptuously, don’t you think?! You’re too fearless and act too outrageously . You look down on the people in the world a little too much! I already told you that I have come to Sky Demon Branch today for no other reason other than to seek justice for my friends! I have come to take your lives! I have also come here to set up some rules for you!”

“How ludicrous!”

When Sealed in Heart and his vice branch masters beside him heard Happy’s arrogant declaration of wanting to set up rules with them, they were so livid that they released a bark of laughter . “With your strength, I believe that you can take revenge for them by killing a few of our people, but I’d like to see just how you intend to set up rules here in Class One Hall today!”

The three vice branch masters behind him said nothing but took one step forward at the same time . They activated their qi realms, and their body fortifications swam through their entire bodies without a single sound . They stared at Happy with burning eyes .

Judging by how imposing they looked, they looked as if they would immediately suddenly Happy and kill him if he said something wrong .

“Heh…” Happy smiled in a completely unbothered manner and just retorted instead of replying to Sealed in Heart’s words . “How many people do you have in Sky Demon Branch? And how many people do you have outside?”

“Oh? Are you thinking about running so soon?” Sealed in Heart chuckled coldly . “Let me tell you, there are constantly more than five thousand people stationed in Sky Demon Branch, and at most, we can have ten thousand people gathered here . Even if you kill us until your arms are tired and your true qi is spent, it’ll be impossible for you to kill all of us!”

“A few thousand?”

Happy’s murmurs caused the Class One Hall members below him to put on mocking smiles .

Those few thousand elites in Sky Demon Branch could form an encirclement that would definitely allow them to kill Happy . It would definitely be a lie if Happy declared that he did not sense the pressure from the numbers alone .

However, Happy’s subsequent words caused all the Class One Hall members in the area to have their expressions change . They looked unprecedentedly angry .

“Class One Hall has a lot of people, if I kill too few of you, Hall Master Dream might not even frown, and she might not even feel any sort of loss from losing this number of people . How about this, I have eighteen friends who were killed, and they died twice! Today, I will return all the losses they suffered one hundred fold to you! Since the total of times they died amounts to thirty-six, thirty-six times one hundred is just three thousand and six hundred . Since you said that there will constantly be more than five thousand people here and I can’t be bothered to count, I might as well kill everyone in Sky Demon Branch . After all, I do believe that I will have a lot of people I will need to take revenge for . ”

“Are you saying that one single friend of yours is already worth one hundred Class One Hall members?” Sealed in Heart stared at Happy with a cold sneer on his face .

The people behind him also stared at Happy as if they were looking at a fool .

While Happy had managed to kill hundreds of Blood Alliance elites in Ghost’s Domain, he had only managed to do so because of the environment and the time of day . Right now, it was still bright outside, and Happy’s words were no different from the murmurings of a man with a pipe dream .

“What’s the point in me taking your heads?”

Happy turned his head around, and his gaze was cold .

“If Dream Clouds has one hundred heads, I’d rather take hers, but it’s your fault for being so close to me when I received my news . ”

“You—”

“Also, the rule that I’ll be setting for you is that each time Class One Hall or Blood Alliance kills my friends, I will take one hundred of your heads for each kill . If you kill a lot of them, I will destroy one of your branches!” He stopped talking for a moment to look around himself . “Today, I might as well use Sky Demon Branch to set up the rules . You will serve as a warning for them…”

Once he finished speaking, Happy suddenly vanished from the roof .

Countless Class One Hall members, including Sealed in Heart and the three vice branch masters, did not even see any signs of Happy’s movements or even his movement trajectory .

However, screams of pain started rising from Class One Hall’s crowd .

Sealed in Heart and his group looked in the direction of the sound, and they were just in time to see the bizarre, unfathomable, and endless stream of afterimages Happy left behind in the crowd .

This scene was just like deja vu for them, and when they saw it, many Class One Hall members sucked in sharp breaths before they put on shocked expressions .
