Boom!
Rumble!
Nearly two hundred cavaliers galloped down the government-made road at their fastest speed.
Happy held the reins in one hand and his sword in the other. He ignored the sight of enemies falling left and right around him. His gaze sparkled, and his heart was already at Yangzhou City, which was now hundreds of miles away, a long time ago.
More than two hours had passed.
Yangzhou City did not send any further news to him.
This was good news. It meant that the battle had not ended. Silver Wolf and the others were still persevering. But that was also bad news. It meant that the people in the branch were in such a tense situation they did not even have the time to send him news. They might be suffering from very great pressure!
He did not want to waste any time at all. Happy sped down the government-made road, and aside from replying to Thunderous Battle and Lin Xiao's messenger pigeons, which occasionally came to him, he will usually not say anything.
"Boss Happy!" Someone from behind him called out to him."Boss Happy, there should be around 186 miles left to Yangzhou. Let's rest for a while, or else, our people won't be able to last, and horses won't be able to persevere as well."
"It's fine, I have another Hoof Shadow, " Happy answered without even turning his head around.
"Boss, you're already logged in for a very long time. It's best that you rest for a while. Look, quite a number of our brothers have only just received the news. Why don't we eat some stuff and go on after half an hour?"
Someone else behind the group spoke up.
It was only at that moment that Happy turned his head and cast them a look.
Silence fell among them. Indeed, there were quite a lot of people who had expectant looks appear on their faces.
The matter at Yangzhou happened too suddenly, and most of them had already logged in for a long time. Right now, they had already rode down the road for more than two hours. Most of them had not eaten anything.
Besides, if this continued, when they reached Yangzhou, these people might have already lost their strength to fight.
"Those who need to rest. Group together and search for a place to rest, then set a time to log in together and continue riding forward! Those who don't need to rest, continue on with me. Make sure to remain alert and keep in contact with each other!"
Once he gave his orders, Happy continued leading the charge and rode down the road.
Truly enough, more than half the people gathered together and stayed near the government-made road.
A small group of people rode on their horses and chased after Happy to continue following him.
A group of people avoided them and moved to the side on the government-made road ahead of them!
Once the group of people charged swiftly into the distance, those few people stared at the people who ran into Happy's group just now stared at the group of people while they swiftly ran into the distance. He revealed a mysterious smile.
"Split into two groups."
"Hurry up and notify the hall master."
Right when they finished speaking, the messenger pigeons they prepared a long time ago were released!
*****
A few of the people in the group were elites from nearby branches, and this was the first time they were so close to Happy. After following him for a while, they sensed that Happy was not as cold and unapproachable as they saw in the battle replay. They could not help but urge their horses to quicken their pace and move to his sides.
"Boss, Boss Happy, this time, Towering Palace and Class One Hall went overboard. Why didn't you ask us to mobilize our forces from the nearby cities and attack Yangzhou straightaway?"
"That's right, we only have this bit of people going over, and that's a little too little, don't you think?"
"Once you reach Moksha Realm, you will understand that there are many things in the game that cannot be settled just because one party wants it to be settled." Happy's words were sent scattering by the fierce wind right when he opened his mouth to speak.
The group of Mu Clan elites behind the team were all confused at first, but as they stared at Happy's back, they seemed to have understood something.
"... Do we have to rely on the strong to settle things? Someone as powerful as you are?"
It was unavoidable that there would be a number of curious youngsters in the group, and they will never be able to resist asking to the bottom of things.
Since he had nothing else to do, Happy did not refuse answering them either, so he answered calmly, "Strength is one part of it, but sometimes, you have to use this."
He tapped his own head."If we mobilize the manpower in the cities near Yangzhou, while we might be able to bring a greater threat to our enemies in Yangzhou City, it will also weaken our defense lines, and our enemies will have a chance to attack us."
Silence fell among them.
"No way. Will they still have the time and energy to attack our branch? Towering Palace's headquarters is in Yangzhou City..." There were some people in the group who could not accept his answer.
Happy smiled.
"The enemies I mentioned might not necessarily be Towering Palace."
"Class One Hall?"
Happy smiled but said nothing.
"Class One Hall might be a very powerful enemy, but they are not our only enemies. Some of the invisible enemies are the most dangerous out of the lot."
"Invisible enemies?"
The group of people were perplexed.
But they continued charging down the road.
Time passed quickly. Happy's gaze suddenly focused, and he stared at the curve at a spot in the dense forest by the side of the road ahead of them. The trees were lush and green, and just now, the reflection of light from metal seemed to have shone inside for an instant over there.
Even though he only saw it for an instant, under Nine Yang Divine Skill's powerful spiritual senses, Happy was still able to sense something.
"Send word. Increase your guard, be prepared for battle, and do not make a scene."
While the group of people behind Happy were still wondering about which sect Happy meant when he mentioned the invisible enemies, they suddenly heard their friends from ahead of them send a message from Happy to them in whispers, and they breathing changed.
Their bodies instantly became tense.
Their gazes quietly travelled over to the curve ahead of them, which was a very easy spot to hide soldiers for an ambush, and they placed their hands on their weapons.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The group of people controlled their speed slightly. When they quickly rushed to the area near the curve, Happy finally detected that there was a group of no less than five hundred people hidden in the forest using Nine Yang Divine Skill's abilities to detect everything in its surroundings.
Each of them had long breathing, and their equipment was great. They were hidden well in the bushes and behind the trees, and they were carefully watching the dozens of people who were approaching them!
Nothing wrong could be detected from the government-made road at all.
But...
"These people are the enemies I mentioned you cannot see!"
Happy shouted loudly before he jumped up high from the back of his horse and shot into the forest like a cold bolt of lightning.
The Mu Clan elites behind him imitated him. They put away their horses and rushed into the forest.
"Fire!"
The people in the forest clearly did not expect that their plan to ambush was seen through with just one glance by Happy. After two full seconds, hurried and alarmed roars in anger rose from the forest.
But to the elites, it was very difficult for arrow showers in the forest to threaten people when they lost their element of surprise.
Arrow showers flew over the place!
But they caused no harm to the Mu Clan elites, who had been prepared for this since a long time ago.
With the cover from the trees, this group of people charged down like fierce tigers descending the mountain, and they rushed into the forest fiercely!
Happy recognized their identities with just one glance.
Even though they did not wear any emblem from any sect, each of them were elites in concealment and assassination. Clearly, they were the subordinates of Assassin Hall's Tang Feng, who had gradually revealed himself in World of Martial Arts once more.
When Happy faced the enemy who was once allied with Dream Clouds, the anger that had been building up in Happy's chest instantly exploded.
He activated Petite Dragon!
He charged into the depths of the forest without facing any danger and without any fear, and he drew his four-echelon Seventh Sword from its sheath with a clang.
A clear and mighty sword whine rose in the forest, and it rang endlessly.
Universe's Lightning Destruction Style.
The people from Assassin Hall did not even see how Happy attacked with his sword. A white light just flashed in front of their eyes.
The final scene they saw was fixed on dozens of familiar people who also had their chests pierced through with just one sword, and they fell into the forest without any signs of life left in them.
