Chapter 985: Forcefully Kill Them
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As time passed, the foundation for Sky Demon Branch, which had no one protecting it, already had more than ten gashes left on it . Under Happy’s frenzied attacks, the gashes were also showing signs of increasing in number and expanding in size .
‘Since you don’t intend to defend it, I will first destroy Sky Demon Branch before I go after your lives!’ Happy had long since come to the decision that he would treat destroying the foundation as his main goal from the moment he noticed that Class One Hall did not dare to readily mobilize their forces after they sacrificed a group of people .
Since Blood Robes and Dream Clouds had decided to do something ruthless, he will naturally not give up on the chance to strike them in the face .
His attacks lasted for nearly ten minutes, and the foundation finally had half of its defense reduced under Happy’s attacks .
As long as he continued using attacks with the same degree of intensity, Happy believed that before long, Sky Demon Branch would become history .
“Hmm?” At that moment, Happy’s ears twitched .
Dense sounds of air being pushed aside rose from outside Sky Demon Branch .
He redirected his gaze, and Happy saw more than three hundred Class One Hall members continuously jumping over the wall into the front yard . They held bows and arrows in their hands, and they seemed to want to use the same method as they did just now .
Happy said nothing about that, because when he saw this, Happy could keenly sense that the atmosphere was not right .
There were much fewer people in this group of people compared to just now .
The hundreds of people just now had all died, and they had not managed to injure him or stop him even in the slightest . It was impossible for Class One Hall to bring out another group of people for him to kill after that .
‘What exactly are these guys thinking about?’
When he saw those Class One Hall members releasing a neat row of arrows, just like just now, Happy did not immediately move toward them . Instead, he turned around and had a part of the arrows land on the foundation with loud, clanging sounds .
Crack!
Another crack was instantly added to the foundation of Sky Demon Branch . It seemed to be in much graver danger now, as if it would crumble at any moment .
“Idiot!”
“Aim better!”
A few of the observant Class One Hall members in the crowd felt chills crawl down their spines and their hearts leap to their throats when they saw this . They growled at their teammates for attacking the foundation .
But when the second round of arrows charged at Happy, it still did not manage to hold him back .
Happy just turned around and avoided the arrow shower . He seized the gap when they did not attack because they had to nock their bows to continue attacking the foundation .
The pitiful foundation was now full of cracks . Crushed bits of stone fell out of the foundation nonstop .
The group of elites who stood on the outer wall of Sky Demon Branch felt cold sweat flow down their backs as they waited, ready to take action .
“He’s not taking the bait . What should we do?”
“Those idiots… Don’t they know how to not attack when they’re in front of the foundation?! Their arrows all landed on the foundation, and it’s going to crumble even faster!”

“Branch master, the foundation won’t last much longer . We have to think of a way,” someone whispered a reminder to Sealed in Heart .
But Sealed in Heart was also incredibly anxious .
If they wanted to seize the resources, they must get close to the foundation, and then, the branch master himself must use his authority to get the resources from inside, and even that would require some time .
The three hundred people in the suicide squad over there were used to attract Happy’s attention .
But by the looks of it now, it was clear that the temptation they posed was not strong enough .
He gritted his teeth, and Sealed in Heart gave his order .
“Have the suicide squad move another thirty-two feet forward!”
*****
‘They’re thinking about defending the place again?’ Even though Happy was incredibly shocked by these people’s reactions, Happy would still not refuse killing hundreds of people, especially when they were near him .
…Actually, it was because they were just too close, and the arrows that kept flying at him caused him to have no chance to attack, so he must clear them out .
Wave-like Subtle Steps!
Happy left the foundation .
At the same time, the group of people at the outer wall became high-spirited . They charged to the foundation without hesitation and with the fastest speed they could muster .
It was because they knew that Happy could kill people very quickly, and they were fighting for every second they had .
Unfortunately, they miscalculated .
At the moment Happy charged into the crowd, he immediately noticed Sealed in Heart and his group’s movements . He discovered that this was a group made up of less than thirty people, and they were elites whose equipment were all generally much better than the rest of the group he attacked just now . Branch Mastsr Sealed in Heart was also among them .
A thought flashed in Happy’s mind, and he understood what Sealed in Heart and his group wanted to do . At the same time, he also learned that these three hundred people were indeed a “gift” Class One Hall decided to give him!
‘So, they want to retrieve the resources in the storage?
‘They’re willing to have three hundred members die once for it… Looks like they have quite a lot of resources in the storage…”
Happy quickly came up with a plan .
With movements that dazzled gazes, he dashed into the crowd before he shot out from another side at an even faster speed .
Almost at the moment Sealed in Heart and his group reached the storage, Happy appeared near Sealed in Heart like his shadow .
“Stop him!”
Those three hundred people from the suicide squad became mere decorations at this point, and they did not dare to attack at all .
When it came to close-quarters combat, only the people with Sealed in Heart could help him stop and hold Happy back for a while .
Unfortunately, Happy knew the concept of killing the leader to destroy an entire group .
Not only could that destroy Class One Hall’s morale, those who were not the branch master also did not have the authority to get the resources in the storage .
Dragon Capture!
Wave-like Subtle Steps allowed him to easily move past the group of people .
Sealed in Heart had his throat seized by Happy, and his body, along with his weapon, was dragged far away from the crowd before he was pinned against a wall in the hall that was not damaged .
Bang!
Sealed in Heart had been prepared to check the resources in the storage through the foundation when he felt his vision blur, and his connection with the foundation was cut . He felt a shock on his back before he crashed violently against a wall .

“Tell Dream Clouds that I will force myself to take the resources in Sky Demon Branch . ”
When he finished speaking, his hidden force fluctuated, and Happy unhesitatingly dissolved the true qi that had just gathered in Happy’s body . He exerted force in his wrist, and right in front of the Class One Hall’s members’ faces, he broke the branch master’s neck .
Bang!
Sealed in Heart’s corpse slid down slowly from the wall .
The final scene he saw was Happy turning around to rush at the other three vice branch masters, who had attacked in rage .
“Don’t…”
Sealed in Heart wanted to tell them not to die, but he could no longer speak .
His conscience had already faded .
*****
“…I failed . ”
Sealed in Heart walked out of Guanlin Temple with a pale face, and he looked dejected .
The large number of Class One Hall members outside Guanlin Temple turned to look at him .
Sealed in Heart said nothing . He did not know what to say right then .
He had not managed to complete the task Dream Clouds gave him, and once he died, he would need at least twenty minutes to go back to Sky Demon Branch . By then, Sky Demon Branch would have been destroyed a long time ago .
Right now, even if he rushed over, it was impossible for him to snatch the resources now .
‘Wait!’
Sealed in Heart suddenly thought of something .
He could absolutely give his position as branch master to someone else such as the three vice branch masters, who were also core Class One Hall members and have them retrieve the resources .
However, right when this thought rose from the bottom of his heart and he took a pencil out to take action, a few familiar voices rose behind him, and it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head .
“Branch master . ”
“Leader…”
When he turned his head around, Sealed in Heart’s face turned pale .
“All of them died?”
The three vice branch masters looked at each other, and they put on pale as well as anguished expressions . “When Happy attacked, I could not withstand his attacks at all . While I could defend his hidden force in his hands, I couldn’t fend against the one underground . He has already perfected the use of hidden force, and we could not fight against him at all . ”
“As expected of the elite who once nearly got into the top eight in the world . ”
The trio did not know the reason behind why Sealed in Heart looked so pained . They just kept talking about how strong Happy was .
Before their voices faded away, another group of Class One Hall members came out of Guanlin Temple with their hands against their chest, and their faces were incredibly pale .
“Boss, we died as well . ”
Some said nothing .
“Cough!”
Sealed in Heart listened to the point that his face was full of anguish . Right now, when he saw that more people came out and that the number of dead they suffered was showing signs that it was about to go over two thousand, he finally could not hold back from coughing up a mouthful of blood on the stairs of Guanlin Temple . His body turned limp .
‘It’s over!’
This time, no one can save Sky Demon Branch’ resources!
*****
Ever since Sealed in Heart tried to use three hundred Class One Hall members to lure him away from Sky Demon Branch’s resources, Happy started paying attention to their actions .
No matter who Class One Hall sent, he never allowed anyone to remain alive near the foundation!
His attacks killed three vice branch masters as well as more than three hundred archers . Then, he continued to attack the foundation!
The elites in Sky Demon Branch knew just how important were the resources in the storage . It was worth a few hundred million taels of silver .
No one would be willing to accept this wealth being taken by Happy .
Once the suicide squad was destroyed and Sealed in Heart died, the people watching outside instantly turned into wild horses who broke free of their reins!
When they saw that the foundation was in grave danger, the large group of Class One Hall members outside began to organize themselves into parties and take the initiative to rush into Sky Demon Branch .
“You’re asking for death!”
Happy remained calm in the face of those Class One Hall members who rushed inside .
Thud!
Bang!
Countless tiles, broken tiles, and arrows on the ground turned into Happy’s weapons . They shot into all directions when Happy picked them up and threw them as if he was flinging flowers .
The people in front were sent flying away because of the shock from the impact .
Crack!
Happy crushed a granite rail, hit it with hidden force, and kicked it out when he jumped into the air .
Whoosh!
The rail crashed into the crowd with a fierce whistle . A large number of people could not avoid it in time, and they were knocked off their feet . They looked incredibly pathetic, and a few people coughed up blood and died on the spot .
“Brothers and sisters, exchange our resources!”
“Exchange as much as you can!”
A few people seized the chance to arrive near the foundation .
Before their voices faded away, a violent gust of wind suddenly crashed into their faces, a figure moved past them . They felt their throats tighten, and their chests shuddered before their bodies were flung high into the sky .
‘We didn’t die?’
The two laid on their backs to stare at the sky .
Whoosh!
The blue sky was quickly enveloped by a black sword glare .
The fierce sword glare tore the duo into several pieces in the air .
The shocking scene caused everyone’s movements to freeze .
Happy’s gaze was indeed cold . He executed Wave-like Subtle Steps without stopping and started killing fearlessly in the crowd .
“Go on and exchange it!
“The equipment you drop after you die will return to the storage, and I will take them all!
“I’d like to see whether you will exchange more items than I will get when I kill you!”
Fierce killing intent was accompanied by chilling might . It caused the Class One Hall members who were rushing to their foundation to feel their hearts shudder .
At the same time, at least another dozens of people were slaughtered by Happy as he attacked them with the force of a storm .
Many people at the outermost layer of the encirclement noticed at that moment that the area around Happy, which was the area around the foundation, was already littered with corpses .
Blood was everywhere .
But still, no one managed to safely touch the foundation .
Their enemy was like a phantom which would not stop, and it just continued reaping lives nonstop .
Most Class One Hall members instinctively took a step back at that moment .

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
