Chapter 400: Reward from Wind God

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wind God used his secret technique after Momo was sent flying back!

He seized Lionhead Nine-ringed Golden Broadsword with one hand, and his power exploded from within him, causing Second Manor Master to panic. He exposed his weaknesses and was full of openings, which gave Happy a chance.

Clang!

He swung his sword, and Second Manor Master shuddered. His strength was instantly depleted.

Wind God’s eyes became fierce. He extended his left hand and pushed against Second Manor Master’s chest in a seemingly slow motion. His touch was very gentle. The traitorous disciple who had received decades of tutelage from him had lost protection from his body fortification, and his body was like a piece of soft tofu. His chest instantly sank while his eyes filled with disbelief. Murky and black blood flowed down from the corners of his lips.

Bang!

Second Manor Master fell to his knees and knelt down before Wind God with his back straight.

The Red Flame monster rushed into the backyard just in time to see his second senior brother breathing his last. He shuddered, and without another word, he turned around to flee.

“Hmph!”

Wind God snorted coldly. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His breathing became chaotic, and he staggered.

Momo crawled to her feet, and she coincidentally saw the ripple left behind by Wind God when he vanished from the spot like a phantom. The distance of more than sixty feet was covered within an instant.

“Master, please spare me!”

The Red Flame monster had been injured at the start. He was also deeply traumatized. As of right then, when he saw that his master, Wind God, had recovered his strength, there was no way he would dare to fight back.

He was seized by the neck, and his qi was sealed up. He was then thrown to the ground like trash, and he quickly kowtowed to beg for his life. When Happy and Momo saw that, they could not help but sigh repeatedly.

It was a Moksha Realm martial artist...

However, a person who tried to murder his own master had to die!

Wind God’s white hair danced in the air even though there was no wind. He arrived in front of the Red Flame monster with his expression as cold as ice. “I could forgive all the things that you had done to me... If your junior sister was still alive, she might even beg me to spare your dastardly lives out of kindness... but a pity...”

He flicked his finger.

The Red Flame monster’s face was full of shock and fear. An eye catching, bloody hole appeared on his forehead.

Happy did not take action again after he executed the slash. He watched Wind God kill his two traitorous disciples quietly, but there was a storm raging in his heart.

Just from which sect had Wind God come to be able to train three Moksha Realm disciples?

And each of those three disciples had obtained a very powerful martial art!

Golden silver hoop, a broadsword technique, and Red Flame Palm...

What shocked Happy even more was Wind God’s abilities.

He blocked Second Manor Master with one hand, and it was a little similar to Lu Xiaofeng’s Perception Finger. Even though it was inferior to that technique, it was not too far behind.

Then, there was the attack he delivered through the soundwave. It was not Buddhist’s Lion Roar, but it could still affect the circulation of a person’s qi, and it was incredibly powerful.

There was also the final, quiet flick, which was a true ultimate technique—Throw Spirit Sphere.

When Happy thought of that, he sucked in a deep breath. He walked over to help Momo to her feet before he handed her three Dew Pills. He then looked at Wind God’s sad and desolate back, and he sighed in his heart.

Everyone’s encounters in life were different. He had been working so hard, and he still had not received Shifting Stars, but Momo had received a great request from Senior Wind God’s disciple, and once she performed a series of quests, the reward she received would surely be great.

Besides, if he was not wrong, Wind God had forcefully activated his secret technique, so he had already used up all his strength. He was now half a foot in his grave. When this sort of situation arose, it should be the time for Momo to receive Wind God’s legacy.

As expected, Wind God turned his head around.

They were stunned at the sight.

Senior Wind God had been awe-inspiring, and he acted just like a God of Death, but at that moment, he looked as if he had suddenly become older by dozens of years. His face was pale, and his gaze was clouded. His aggressive momentum from before was completely gone, and he looked as if he no longer had anything that made him want to stay in the world.

“Come here, both of you.”

Momo and Happy looked at each other. They then went in front of Wind God without daring to be slow.

Wind God seemed to be burdened heavily, and he sighed long and hard.

“You two young’uns have seen the misfortune of my sect. We made a fool of ourselves in front of you.”

They said nothing.

“You’re Momo, correct?” Wind God was clearly a rather decent person. When he looked at Momo, the kindness in his eyes could be seen at first glance. The feeling of age in his voice made their hearts tremble. “My Lil’ Sleeves was just as pretty as you were when she was about your age... Lass, when you blocked the attack for me, you were just like her. You are a kind child.”

At that moment, Wind God was like an old man who had watery eyes while he recalled his past at his last breath. When he looked at everything around him, all that he saw was blurriness. Only his memories remained as clear, real, and as touching as ever.

Momo bent her back. Tears fell from under her white veil, and they left clear tear trails on her long gown.

‘This girl...’

Happy felt troubled, but he soon found himself not bothered by it.

After all, he did not understand the situation too deeply. He did not understand Wind God’s background and Lil’ Sleeves, who gave such a great task to Momo, which was why he did not feel as strongly as Momo. However, if she could cry in front of an NPC, the story had to be really sad.

“I know... that Lil’ Sleeves will not go wrong... in the person she chose.”

Wind God stared at Momo with gratification and kindness.

“I managed to find a successor for my martial arts before my death. I suppose this is a bit of a blessing of the gods to this blind old man.”

As he spoke, he looked at Happy.

“My young friend, you helped me kill those three traitorous disciples of mine, so you are my benefactor as well. It is a pity that I have nothing good with me, so I can only repay you with martial arts. However, we do not have much time now. My young friend, why don’t you make a choice? Do you want to learn a fist technique, the golden silver hoop technique, or the broadsword technique? These are the martial arts I taught my three traitorous disciples, and I believe that you must have an understanding of them now.”

Happy said nothing, but he frowned as he listened.

‘The difference in treatment is really great... He gave Momo his entire legacy, but to me, the one who contributed greatly in the final battle, he only suggests the three traitorous disciples’ martial arts, and I only get to choose one! This old man...’

Happy’s thoughts ran wild in his head, but he did not dare to say them. He pondered it for a moment before he said, “Senior Wind God, since I have gained your favor, this humble junior wishes to learn the third manor master’s Red Flame Palm.”

Wind God said nothing in the beginning, but a hint of praise appeared in his murky eyes. “You have great judgment. Among my four disciples, my third disciple had the greatest attainments, his Red Flame Palm was also better than what his peers possessed. It’s no wonder that you could kill those traitorous disciples of mine. You are good, very good.” Once he finished speaking, he brought out a martial art manual from his bosom.

Happy calmly accepted Wind God’s reward.

[Red Flame Palm:

[Arm Strength: 78, Affinity: 86, Comprehension: 80, Body Movement: 80. Qi realm requirement: Life and Death Realm. Practice requirement: Grandmaster Realm in Freezing Force.]

When he saw the training requirements for Red Flame Palm, Happy frowned. He quickly brought out the Universe Bag he had obtained from the Red Flame monster, and he did find a dark blue martial art manual that said Freezing Force within it. It was only then that he released a sigh of relief.

[Freezing Force:

[Arm Strength: 54, Affinity: 57, Comprehension: 60, Body Movement: 60. Qi realm requirement: Mystical Realm. Practice requirement: Any high-tier palm technique at Grandmaster Realm.]

With the two martial art manuals, Happy instantly felt relieved; his trip had been worth it. The two supreme grade palm techniques were valuable martial arts manuals in his previous life, especially Red Flame Palm. People could buy cities with its price.

When Happy saw Wind God lead Momo into a chamber in the artificial mountain, he looked around and searched through the two manor masters’ corpses, but he gained nothing from them. However, he did not feel surprised. After all, Wind God had been the one who struck them down.

He had killed Manor Master himself though, so as long as no one had discovered his corpse?

Happy tapped against the ground and swiftly shot out of the manor. He headed to the spot where Manor Master lay dead.
