Chapter 216: What Are You Trying To Do, You Pervert!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The mysterious person was a player who had inherited Dongfang Bubai’s legacy and his martial art, Sunflower Manual. However, because of his qi realm, he could only use the first two styles along with Needle Tide. Even so, his abilities could already dazzle the players, and they would not be able to fight back.

Needle Tide could kill enemies and be used as a lightness skill. It was a skill that Dongfang Bubai had created himself while he practiced Sunflower Manual.

Ultimate techniques had a large advantage when the users went up against normal high-tier martial arts during the early stages of the game. They could be used in a lot of other areas, which was the charm of ultimate techniques.

However, being in possession of an ultimate technique did not mean that the player was invincible, and this fact was applicable to the early and later stages of the game.

During the early stages of the game, if someone made too many enemies and had no support items or equipment to help them, they would have a very difficult time getting a foothold in the game. For example, if Happy wanted to commit crimes with Dragon Capture, he would not last long because of the amount of qi required to use it.

When Little North noticed the mysterious man raise his hand in the peach blossom forest, he quickly put away his smile, cursed him in his heart for being crazy, and sent black shadows forward. One of his zombie puppets had been lurking around and was ready for action since a long time ago. It shot out from the peach blossom and was just in time to block the flying needles that came charging toward Little North.

Shick!

The flying needles sank into the zombie’s thoroughly black body, which startled Little North so much that his face turned pale.

It had to be known that his zombie puppet had been submerged in Thousand Year Corpse King’s medicinal liquid, which he obtained from its shards. Its strength had been continuously increasing, and after they entered Peach Blossom Forest, it had finally reached Mystical Realm. It was so strong that it would not budge when it was struck by heavy blows, and it was already as powerful as the zombies in the mass graves.

Such zombies could not be damaged by normal hidden weapons, which was why Little North had instantly been alarmed when he saw the fierce momentum of the flying needles. They had the damage of high-tier hidden weapons!

‘What a close call...’

Little North’s heart raced, and he thanked his lucky stars. If he received the attack just then with his Illusory Spirit Body, which he had not mastered yet, he might already have a few holes in his body.

While Little North was busy being shocked, the mysterious man was also stunned.

He did not notice that there was someone hidden in the peach blossom forest. When he sensed how sturdy the savage, terrifying-looking, and dark person was, he scowled and flicked his finger in secret. His flying needle came flying back to him, but the zombie still did not move. It did not look as if it had been injured at all, and the mysterious man instantly became solemn.

Ever since he learned Needle Tide from Sunflower Manual, he had never run into a situation in which his flying needles did not have any effect when they struck his enemies.

‘Could it be a puppet without life?’

As expected of a successor of an ultimate technique, the mysterious man’s mind moved quickly, and soon, he cast his attention back on Little North, who was the one who controlled the zombie.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He decided to release the Masked Female Bandit by the side and charge at Little North through the air. He flicked his wrists, and Little North squealed in fright. Around ten flying needles descended from the sky with whooshing sounds. It was a sound that caused a person’s skin to crawl.

The needles bypassed the zombie and went straight for Little North.

“Damn it!”

Little North’s face turned as white as a sheet.

He had already witnessed the damage of those flying needles. They could easily pierce through the body of a Mystical Realm zombie puppet, so it would be incredibly easy for them to break his body fortification technique.

Boom!

He did not dare to be careless and activated his Illusory Spirit Body.

But that was not all. A grayish-white zombie charged forward from behind him and blocked the disaster, much to the mysterious man’s surprise. However, the Blessed Realm zombie was clearly not as tough as the Mystical Realm zombie.

The mysterious man saw what was odd in a moment, and he flicked his fingers.

Whoosh!

The zombie instantly moved like a puppet that was controlled. It turned around with strange movements and struck its master, Little North, whom it had originally been protecting.

Even if Little North activated his Illusory Spirit Body, the realm of his body fortification technique was not high. He was instantly struck so hard by his zombie puppet that he staggered out of his Mystical Realm zombie’s puppet protection range.

“Oh, no!”

When he realized that his zombie had been controlled by the enemy, Little North felt a chill in his heart. He looked up and saw two crystalline rays of light charging at him from the airborne mysterious man’s hands.

‘I’m dead!’

Little North felt a chill down his spine.

“Urk!”

Sharp pain coursed through his veins.

Little North immediately felt that his limbs being pierced. He was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth, unable to move. He looked up and found that the mysterious man was staring at him with a scornful look.

“Your ability is to control zombies? And here I was thinking I just ran into a successor of another ultimate technique. Hmph, by the looks of it, you’re nothing.”

Who was Little North?

Ever since he fought against multiple top-tier martial artists in his trip to Fox Cave, he had become very ambitious. There was no way he would show weakness to someone who just belittled him this way. He gritted his teeth and countered.

“Bah! You’re a pervert who practices Sunflower Manual; you’re nothing as well! You just know a few skills of using embroidery needles GIRLS use, so why are you so proud?! You even pretend to be a woman by blushing and toying with a handkerchief! You’re stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Do you actually think you’re Dongfang Bubai?!”

The mysterious man was so enraged that he could not form words for a moment. The muscles on his face twitched in a very obvious manner. Clearly, he had been struck at his weakest and most sensitive area.

‘Girls! Pervert! Blush! Handkerchief!’

Those things were all the taboo among all taboos to him.

Even though they were all compulsory requirements from the stupid system, when he was faced with the choice, he chose to get used to it without any hesitation so that he could get Dongfang Bubai’s inheritance.

But the pain and awkwardness of truly carrying out those tasks was not things that he could tell others.

Right then, Little North had directly revealed all his suffering in an impassioned manner, and it made the mysterious man’s face instantly turn dark. He flicked his wrist and controlled the Blessed Realm zombie to arrive in front of Little North. The distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

“What are you trying to do?! If you want to kill me, then do it quick!”

Little North might have been together with his puppets day and night, but in truth, they had never been that “close” to each other. When he saw the terrifying face draw closer with its foul stench, he felt his skin crawl as well. He could not help but cry out in fear. “Pervert, what do you want to do?!”

The mysterious man was made even more speechless by Little North’s words. Hence, he did not speak. He just used his actions to vent the anger in his heart.

Thud!

The zombie struck Little North’s head, and blood spilled.

“Damn you! If you have the guts, then kill me, you sissy!”

“I’m going to sew your mouth shut!”

Countless threads were tugged away from the Blessed Realm zombie’s body, and they let out endless whooshing sounds while they swept toward Little North.

Shock and fear finally appeared in Little North’s eyes.

‘Sew my mouth shut?!’

At that critical moment, a dark blue saber glare rushed over from the side and blocked the space in front of Little North at the perfect moment. The clanging sounds of metal clashing against metal rose nonstop.

Whoosh!

A young and yellow-dressed figure entered the clearing.

Before the mysterious man could see the newcomer clearly, the person moved at an incredibly fast speed while spinning the black battle saber in his hand. By doing so, he managed to curl the threads behind the flying needles around the saber.

He spun!

Boom!

Happy slammed the Hundred-battle Saber which was entangled by countless threads violently into the ground.

The mysterious man with the extraordinary presence in the air did not immediately register what had happened until a huge force traveled up the threads. He could not control his body in time and was yanked forward! He immediately became alert and broke free from his threads before he landed on the ground lightly.

When he turned around, two men with extraordinary presences had appeared beside Little North. He scowled, and his expression became solemn.
