“Why are you running?!”

“No matter how strong he is, he’s just one man! Why are you scared of him—”

“Everyone, use your hidden weapons to fight against him! As long as we can block his attacks for a moment, the alliance master and Tsao Suiyan will arrive, and I refuse to believe that he will be able to parry our attacks by then!”

Similar shouts rose, and they became louder. The players who registered the situation started attacking. Waves of hidden weapons, throwing knives, and arrows flew in Dongfang Bubai’s direction, and the momentum was incredibly magnificent.

However, they had clearly underestimated those in the dao of heaven…

Those who were not in the dao of heaven had a hard time to even find their target. Dongfang Bubai’s speed could be considered to be at the top among those in the dao of heaven. He managed to avoid most of the hidden weapons in the area.

Even though he was unable to avoid some of the hidden weapons, Dongfang Bubai was an elite in the dao of heaven, and his true qi covered his entire body. When he was attacked, his true qi could swiftly make adjustments, allowing him to block or bounce off external threats. The damage from those in Inaction Realm could not even rip apart his red robe.

Multiple hidden weapons landed on his red robe, but in an instant, they slid off like raindrops sliding off an umbrella.

However, since the situation was a little too chaotic and the yellow dust blocked off their view, no one noticed this.

Dongfang Bubai did not pay attention to these people in the beginning, but as more hidden weapons fell on his face, great anger and brutality instantly filled his long and narrow eyes.

Whoosh!

He turned around and resolutely gave up on the group of people he was originally chasing. Like lightning, he shot out from the area filled with countless hidden weapons.

The red figure that was left behind was instantly torn to shreds by multiple hidden weapons.

“Ah!”

“He’s here!”

“Run!”

Before the people in the other direction could understand what happened, they saw a large group of people in front of them falling silent after a fierce and white saber glare moved past them. When they saw this, there was no way they would not understand what had happened.

“Why are you running?!”

“Cowards!”

The people in the other two directions could speak haughtily, because they did not understand how dire the situation was.

But when they saw that Dongfang Bubai was completely unharmed, they instantly shut their mouths, and shock appeared in their eyes.

When they turned their heads around to look in the direction where Dongfang Bubai passed through, they saw thousands of corpses littered all over a sandhill that was hundreds of feet long.

The alliance master and Tsao Suiyan did not seem to want to work with them to kill Dongfang Bubai. They remained in the distance and followed him calmly. They did not seem to have any intention to help the players.

When they saw this, some of the observant people finally understood that all their previous words were just wishful thinking!

They wanted to watch the people in the dao of heaven fight against each other while they waited for a chance to steal Tiger Soul, but the people in the dao of heaven were no simpletons. They also wanted to use these martial artists who came here because they wanted to reap benefits from the situation to whittle down Dongfang Bubai’s true qi and have Tiger Soul affect his twisted mind even more.

When they saw this, many people instantly thought about retreating.

“He has been fighting for a long time against the alliance master and Tsao Suiyan, but Dongfang Bubai is showing no signs of running out of energy…”

“Even though in the dao of heaven cannot use their qi so wilfully. The amount of qi he uses is definitely high to activate his body fortification, lightness skill, and having the saber glares attack in long distances.”

More than one thousand Wind Assault Tower members had already successfully gathered together with Phantasmal Shadow and the rest in a spot far away from the battlefield. Their strength increased by a wide margin, but Phantasmal Shadow’s expression was not pleasant.

There were thousands of players in front of Dongfang Bubai, but they were just like wheat. They just fueled his desire to kill, and they did not manage to whittle down his strength at all.

If this continued, even if tens of thousands of people died, it would still be difficult for them to snatch Tiger Soul from Dongfang Bubai.

Phantasmal Shadow could see just how severe the situation was, but her tower members were incredibly confident. When they looked into the distance, their gazes burned passionately.

“Haha… Just let that ragtag bunch of misfits die. It’ll be great if all of them die, and in the end, we’ll be the ones who have to take action.”

“…”

Phantasmal Shadow and Wu Kuo exchanged a complicated gaze.

Ragtag bunch of misfits?

The tower members had not personally witnessed that sort of terror and had never sensed just how intimidating Dongfang Bubai and Tiger Soul was at close distance, which was why they can speak so arrogantly…

Even though those tens of thousands of people came from different factions of power and different countries from all over the world, they were pretty strong. Even if they were a ragtag bunch of misfits, they had already done their best.

If Wind Assault Tower truly pushed these one thousand people over, they would not be able to fare any better in Dongfang Bubai’s hands. After all, the person with Tiger Soul was not a normal martial artist but one of the strongest among those who were One with the World. TNot even those at the peak of Myth Realm were able to escape unschated from the saber glares.

But now was not the time for them to say anything that would decrease morale. These two people quietly gave orders to the others to hold their members back while they observed the situation.

Phantasmal Shadow was able to suppress her urges and chose to have those from Wind Assault Tower continue to wait while they watched, but some people could not just watch as Dongfang Bubai completely destroyed tens of thousands of players’ morale.

Flame Wolf and Golden Rakkhasa gathered together once more!

Far into the distance of the horizon across Wind Assault Tower were one hundred of the best Wild Wolves. They stood around like trees as they wore yellow cloaks that were commonly seen among those from West Region. They stood quietly at a high spot. Their clothes fluttered because they were facing the wind.

“It’s no wonder the elites from the ancient times wanted to build the desert palace and seal it. Tiger Soul… is indeed the strongest catastrophic weapon of the ancient times. Even someone in the dao of heaven has been subtly influenced by it! Right now, Dongfang Bubai is already completely overcome by killing intent, and he cannot be rid of it. As long as he has someone near him, he will be a killing machine…”

Flame Wolf raised his chin a little while he stood on the slope. He squinted to look at the chaotic battlefield in the distance. Then, he looked away.

Based on what he saw, most of the people below them could not escape from Dongfang Bubai’s massacre.

The elite in the dao of heaven was just too fast.

But the area below the sand hill was flat, and everything could be seen with just one glance. There was not a single place that could be used as a hiding place. Unless Dongfang Bubai decided to be merciful, they could not escape from death, but Dongfang Bubai had never been a merciful person. Besides, with Tiger Soul affecting him, he would only kill in an even more brutal fashion.

Bloody Hell Saber said, “An ancient catastrophic weapon… Now, I’m beginning to respect it a little… Even though we came prepared, we didn’t have a clear idea of Tiger Soul’s power. Besides, this is the first time we’ll be fighting against someone in the dao of heaven. I wonder if we will be able to carry out our mission smoothly.”

“We’re able to easily suppress someone at the peak of Myth Realm with a Forbidden Daiya Technique formed by just nine people. This time, we’re sending out nine sets of people. All of our strengths will converge into one, and we will suppress him from nine directions. Even someone in the dao of heaven will not be able to escape from us,” Peach Blossom said faintly.

“Let’s see.” Flame Wolf continued the conversation faintly. “If we have the chance, it would be best if we have the alliance master and Tsao Suiyan attack him first, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to take action. Or else, Tiger Soul might end up in someone’s hands.”

“Not bad. The people from Wind Assault Tower are eyeing Tiger Soul by the side. They might have the same plan as we do…”

“Hmph. It’s not strange for them to have such thoughts. But Wind Assault Tower only has a few elites in the desert, how can they hope to fight against us? Unfortunately, if it weren’t for the fact that I don’t want any accidents happening, I really want to go over and kill those nobodies.”

When Immortal heard Flame Wolf’s murderous words, she quickly spoke up to give him a reminder, “The leader’s instructions are our main goal for this operation. We don’t need to care about the people from Wind Assault Tower right now…

“In truth, Wandering Know-it-all has already begun searching for our whereabouts.” Bloody Hell Saber spoke in slight puzzlement, “Even if we hide, Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land might still do something about it.”

When he heard this, Flame Wolf explained, “Let them do whatever they want. What we need to do is to hide our tracks properly for the time being so that we don’t reveal our locations too early. As long as they don’t manage to find us, we’ll be the group with the highest chance of obtaining Tiger Soul! Wandering Know-it-all might be able to deduce our general location, but the situation in the desert is different, there are no landmarks that can help him serve as a reference. Even if the people managed to get specific information and come over, they will be confused once they enter the desert.”

“…”

The group instantly came to an understanding.

As long as they were in the desert, they had nothing to fear. Not only was Wandering Know-it-all unable to figure out their location, those looking for them would also have a hard time to even begin their search.

“I see, that’s why even if Wandering Know-it-all told Wind Assault Tower about us, we don’t need to worry… Alright, once the time is ripe, we’ll get rid of the people from Phantasmal Shadow first. Then, we’ll deal with Dongfang Bubai slowly…” When Bloody Hell Saber said this in high spirits, his tone suddenly changed, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s a pity that we lost all news about Happy since many days ago. He should be carrying out a hidden quest. If we could just run into him in the desert, we could just use Forbidden Daiya Technique to suppress him as well and wash away our shame!”

Quite a number of people behind him put on regretful and lamentful expressions.

They were not quite able to accept the fact that they were unable to take down the Chinese plains in one go last time. If it were not for Happy, they had no need to act like thieves in the Chinese plains. There was also no need for them to wait for the system notification before they gathered their members in the West Region to enter the desert on the next day.

“I don’t know why the leader is so worried. He just believes that Happy has other trump cards up his sleeve just because he has not immediately chosen someone to take up Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy.”

Some people started discussing things in the group.

“If I have to say, it was all because there was a problem in Dream Clouds’ method in dispatching her troops last time. If she had not revealed her trump cards so soon, there’s no way Wind Assault Tower would have been able to last until now. It would have been destroyed a long time ago!”

“There’s Lovely Land too… the sect Happy created and grew to a size that has tens of thousands of members in just seven days…”

As they listened to their members discuss this matter without a care of the world, the people in the charge of the operation frowned.

“Enough!” Peach Blossom’s cold shout interrupted everyone’s discussion.

“The leader has his own reasons to worry. We’ve seen Happy’s fight against Evil King in Song House. Happy has the strength to last for a long time in front of someone who is legitimately in the dao of heaven, and now, his strength has definitely increased by leaps and bounds. There’s no doubt about it!”

“That’s right!” Flame Wolf spoke up in agreement, “A long time ago, we underestimated Happy, and that’s why we lost repeatedly in his hands. In the end, he was the one who completely destroyed the plan we took great pains to concoct and were certain would succeed. Regardless of whether we will run into Happy or not this time in the desert, you are not allowed to underestimate this man!”

He stopped talking for a moment. Then, Flame Wolf turned his head around and said darkly to Bloody Hell Saber, “Forbidden Daiya Technique might be a game breaker, it might not be useful against Happy…”
