Chapter 205: Top on Famous People Rank

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The atmosphere outside Dead She-wolf’s chamber was tense!

There were nearly one hundred players with extraordinary presence and dressed in two different types of clothing. Their expressions were stern, and they stood in two different groups that both had cold gazes. They stood ready with their weapons drawn while facing the entrance to a chamber. They looked aggressive, as if they were about to denounce someone with a crime!

More people from other sects came from the distance after they heard about the commotion. They stood in the tunnel and stared at Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect’s actions from far away. They did not dare to come too close to them.

They were not worried about being regarded with hostility by Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers. Instead, they were worried about being misunderstood by the people in Dead She-wolf’s chamber and being treated as Situ Luoyu’s cohorts.

The event of Happy completely eliminating the elites led by Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy in the second level of Fox Cave had already spread through Immortal Fox Village and turned into the major news that brought great shock.

Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy were both famous people on the Dragon Rank, and they were both in Mystical Realm, yet they were already killed by a famous person in Blessed Realm. This alone was already enough for many people to reevaluate the quality of Wandering Know-it-all’s Famous People Rank and Dragon Rank.

Happy’s image and power became even more of a legend.

Happy’s rank as the third on the Famous People Rank had finally increased from the third place on World of Martial Arts Secret News Log. For the first time ever, he surpassed Xiao Shan and North Placating Duke and was officially placed at the top of the Famous People Rank.

The members of Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect’s hatred toward Happy, who had used an unknown hidden weapon to kill the elites of their sects, could no longer be described with words.

Ever since they joined the world of martial artists, their sect masters had always been their spiritual leader and people they were proud of. They were the trees that protected them.

Right then, those trees had been cut down, and the people who sought shade under them were naturally angry!

When a group of enraged people gathered together, it was not difficult for others to guess what they wanted to do next.

However, when they faced Happy, who had become famous by attacking large sects and winning in chaotic battles, even the two great sects did not dare to attack recklessly. Besides, the corpses of their sect masters had yet to disappear, and they could not be certain whether Happy still had a hidden weapon with the same might that could attack everyone in a large area.

Hence, the hall chiefs and leaders with the greatest strengths gathered together and discussed among themselves while the others stood around them warily. They were all prepared for battle.

A middle-aged man with a plain face had a frown on his face while he thought in the middle of the crowd. He was dressed in a woolen robe, and his weapon was a normal and flat bamboo ruler. While he watched the person telling him his strategy, a hint of mockery shone in his eyes.

“Based on the coordinates from the information we gained, they’re in Dead She-wolf’s chamber right now, and they’re already fighting against her. But I think that we shouldn’t enter recklessly.”

“Happy’s hidden weapon might be Tang Sect’s Pear Blossom Storm Needles! If we enter recklessly, it’ll be too dangerous for us! I think it’s best to send someone inside to scout first.”

The people were instantly rendered speechless. They looked at each other at a loss.

It was clearly a suicide mission. Who would be willing to do it?

At that moment, the middle-aged man dressed in a woolen robe tapped his bamboo ruler and took a step forward. He instantly captured everyone’s attention, and someone said, “Ji Feng, do you have a good idea?”

The middle-aged man smiled in a modest manner. “I don’t have a suggestion, but I do have an immature thought, and I’d like everyone to correct me if I’m wrong.”

“You can go on ahead and tell us.”

The group of people immediately became attentive.

Ji Feng’s expression became stern, and he put away his bamboo ruler. He looked as if he was about to lead the sects.

“Pear Blossom Storm Needles is one of the strongest hidden weapons Tang Sect has ever produced. I believe that he is already very lucky to have obtained a treasure with such great damage by accident. I doubt that a person can have two of them right now. The probability is the same as buying lottery tickets for two consecutive rounds and winning the lottery twice even though there is no insider helping you. It’s just ludicrous.”

“Are you saying that we don’t need any scouts and should just enter the chamber?”

The hall chiefs were not idiots. Soon, they understood the hidden meaning in Ji Feng’s words.

Ji Feng nodded, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

“When we want to do such things, we can only do them sooner and not later. The coordinates we obtained showed that they’re fighting against Dead She-wolf, so what does that mean? It means that Happy has full confidence that he can rely on those few people to kill Dead She-wolf.

“Even though even I am skeptical of that, I believe that the people inside would not use their lives to joke around!” He paused for a moment before he continued his explanation in the silence that had settled around him. “By now, the people inside should have already noticed that we’ve prepared for an assault. My suggestion is to act immediately! Once we give them enough time to prepare, even if we manage to kill Happy and his party, we might need to pay a great price for it.”

Once he finished speaking, everyone in the group had contemplative and hesitant looks.

Even though Ji Feng’s criticism of their views made them feel a little embarrassed, they had to admit that his words were logical. Yet they were hesitant because Happy, whose strength was unfathomable, was not the only person inside. There was also Dead She-wolf, who was at Life and Death Realm. If they rushed into the chamber, they might end up with unexpected sacrifices.

“I know what you’re worried about.” Ji Feng looked at his sect members’ expressions before he said, “Dead She-wolf has always only attacked the target closest to her. As long as we maintain our distance, we won’t attract her attention. But if we keep waiting like this, the situation will change, and we won’t be able to tell what will happen next.”

His words finally managed to dispel everyone’s uncertainties.

“Alright!”

“We’ll do as Ji Feng said! Those with high-tier body fortification techniques, form the first echelon! The others, place defense as your priority. Your main task is to attract the attention of the people inside! Remember this, do not enter recklessly!”

The person who gave the order was from Perpetual Joy Sect and dressed head-to-toe in leather armor. There was a strange aura swirling around him. He looked incredibly mighty, and like he had a lot of prestige.

The moment he finished speaking, the crowd’s emotions soared. They activated their qi realms to increase their aura.

Yet when they were about to charge into the chamber, a golden figure came out of the tunnel leading to the chamber. It rushed at them like an arrow let loose from a bow.

“It’s him!”

“Careful!”

The people outside the chamber recognized the unique effect of Happy’s high-tier body fortification technique. Their hearts trembled, and shocked as well as enraged cries rose among them.

Just then, they were focused on listening to the orders and demands from the man from Perpetual Joy Sect, and while they were excited, no one expected that Happy would actually dare to take the initiative to appear in a situation where he had to face nearly one hundred high-tier martial artists.

They were caught off guard. When Happy rushed at the nearest person, a white gust of wind formed by his fists that was mixed with a sharp black light came first, and that person’s breathing instantly froze!

The player only felt his vision darken. Right when he was prepared to accept his fate, the white gust of wind in front of him moved past him. With a strange spin and a few quick steps, Happy bypassed him without hesitation and appeared in front of Ji Feng and his group as quick as lightning.

Happy would not waste the rare chance to ambush the group on just one person. What he wanted to do was not fight against one person, but against a group and attain victory through chaos!

Boom!

He activated Golden Bell Cocoon fully!

Whoosh!

Wind Spirit Spin was activated!

No one noticed that when Happy had appeared in front of them with a right arm enveloped by a faint black aura. The aura was so dense that it could not be dispelled. With a loud whoosh, it moved like a fierce creature searching for food! It trailed behind the gust and formed a layer of mist particles that could barely be seen. They went sweeping violently at the enemies in front of Happy.

It was only when the wind blew at their faces that the great fighters from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect noticed that there was an evil aura that could suffocate them mixed in with the powerful punch that tore through the air and could rip apart their faces!
