Chapter 241: Class One Hall’s Worries

“Sect Master Proud, don’t you think it’s too soon for you to say something like that?!”

Happy should have been spent, but his hoarse voice made it clear that he had suddenly been cured of his heavy injuries. He raised his head coldly, revealing that half of the paleness of his face was gone. At that moment, the presence that brought fear to others rose from his body with an even stronger and fiercer momentum.

Proud over All Life’s smug footsteps came to a swift halt because he had been stunned speechless. He stopped and stared at Happy in disbelief. Then, he turned around and stared at his sect member, who also had a look of disbelief on his face.

The sect member panicked. He lowered his head and cast a glance at the Heart Devouring Silver Snake that was curled on his palm, resting. He then looked up to stare at Happy, which made him suck in a sharp breath.

“Looks like your Heart Devouring Silver Snake doesn’t quite want to drink the blood in my heart. The position was slightly off.”

While speaking, Happy took his hand away from his chest before the duo. They saw a red wound, but it was slightly off his heart, and his blood had already stopped flowing outwards. With the effects of the Dew Pill he took, he managed to stop the flow of blood within a short amount of time, and most of his injuries had been cured.

Proud over All Life’s face turned bloodless.

The young man from Five Venoms held his Heart Devouring Silver Snake in his hands with a very awkward look. He seemed to be lost.

The Five Venoms sect members behind him fell from heaven back into the cruel real world. They stared at Happy, who held his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword, and their faces turned even darker. They could already sense that the cold air enveloping Happy had become even stronger!

“Heart Devouring Silver Snake… I can’t let you remain on the face of the earth.”

Happy moved in a flash and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the young man.

The young man cried out in surprise. He tried to put away his resting Heart Devouring Silver Snake, but unfortunately for him, Happy knew just how great it were. There was no way he would allow Five Venoms continue keeping such a venomous creature! If he had not executed Petite Dragon in time and avoided being struck fatally, he might have already died by then.

His sword flashed!

“Ah!” the young man cried out in pain. His arm was severed, and it flew into the air. Along with the loss of control over his arm, he also lost control over his snake. There was another flash of light, and the Heart Devouring Silver Snake was cut in half in the sky.

Slap.

Under the young man’s pale and twisted face, the snake landed lifelessly on the ground.

“I’ll kill you, you bastard! Give me my snake back!”

The young man did not even care about his arm. He rushed before his silver snake’s carcas with his face twisted. His hysterical roars caused countless people to feel sad for him.

Heart Devouring Silver Snakes were like normal venomous creatures. They had to be collected outside the cities, and they could also be killed like normal venomous creatures. Hence, they had to be carefully isolated and protected!

But that was to be expected. It was a supreme grade venomous snake that even Proud over All Life did not possess, which made it easy to guess that the young man had racked his brains to get it. Right then, it had been killed by Happy’s hands, and his abilities had to have been reduced greatly!

Even Happy sighed a little when he killed the Heart Devouring Silver Snake. He stared at the its lifeless carcass while thinking, ‘If it remained alive, this creature’s value would have been around the same as that of a low-grade demon vessel. It’s a pity that it was in the hands of someone from Five Venoms.’

However, when the young man had successfully ambushed Happy, he had been so incredibly satisfied with himself that his conceited nature had been revealed.

While looking at the young man who had lost an arm holding the carcass of his silver snake while he descended into madness, Happy decided to no longer spare him a glance. He did not care about Proud over All Life, whose face was livid with rage and full of wariness, either. He continued to walk up the stairs toward the foundation of the sect.

“Stop!”

Proud over All Life’s enraged roars rose behind him. Then, a powerful gust of wind came charging at him!

Happy only turned slightly to the side when the gust was about to land on his body. Then, the fierce momentum from his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword shot into the air. It was followed by a scream of pain and a dull thud. Dead silence instantly fell in the headquarters of Five Venoms. One of Proud over All Life’s arms had fallen on the ground.

Happy ignored that arm and the silence that followed.

He just glanced at Proud over All Life, who covered his arm while kneeling on the ground. Happy looked down from above, and his tone was cold.

“I’m leaving you alive because I want you to witness the destruction of the sect you personally built. I want you to see its final moments. There is no other reason for it. That’s why, don’t force me to kill you!”

Once he said those words, the crowd burst into a commotion.

“What an arrogant person!”

Soon though, someone said, “But he has the capital to be arrogant…”

“By the looks of it, no one can prevent Five Venoms’ destruction.”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

“The people from Fallen Feathers Sect are here, and Situ Luoyu is right there. I heard that he has a grudge against Happy. If he forces his way into the battle, Happy might not be able to retreat with all parts of his body intact.”

“Oh?”

The crowd discussed the events among itself.

The subtle gazes cast on Situ Luoyu from everywhere made him feel tense. He lowered his voice and said to the two men with the extraordinary presences behind him, “My dear bosses, what should we do now? If we continue waiting, Proud over All Life will die. Five Venoms will also be destroyed.”

After all, Situ Luoyu and Proud over All Life were from the same guild, and their relationship offline was pretty good. Situ Luoyu absolutely did not want to see his friend be forced into a corner and might even need to delete his character and train again.

The two people by his side were high-level guild members. They just needed to say one word, and even if there were one hundred Happys in the area, they could only dream about destroying Five Venoms!

However, one of them said with a solemn expression, “Proud over All Life will not perish… but Five Venoms is over.”

That person’s eyes were slightly evil, and his face gave off a feeling that he stood supreme to all. His firm tone also made it clear that he would not attack to help Five Venoms escape from the disaster.

Situ Luoyu was rendered speechless. His heart tensed, and he asked tentatively, “Do the two of you think that the current Happy is impossible to deal with as well?”

“Nonsense.”

The person with the evil look in his eyes glared at him, displeased. “How many people can hope to be our opponents in the game now? Happy can somewhat be considered to be one of them, but he’s not at the point where we can’t handle him. At most, he is just an opponent. We might not be able to kill him, but it’s impossible for him to win against any of us as well.”

“Then why—”

Situ Luoyu did not want to give up on the hope to save Proud over All Life.

Right after he finished speaking, the young man who had a gentle expression and who had not spoken yet sighed. “Situ… I know that you have a good relationship with All Life, but you must know that it isn’t because we don’t want to save him, but that we can’t.

“Barren Murderer is right. With our current abilities, while neither of us could kill Happy, holding him back would not be a problem for us. At that time, Happy would naturally retreat because of impossible odds. But you must also know of our main goal for coming to Wuhu! If we take the initiative to show ourselves, with the friendship Chivalry Sect shares with Happy, there is no way they will just sit by and watch.”

Situ Luoyu found himself unable to say anything to that.

He was a smart man, and he naturally understood what was meant by that sentence.

Happy had attacked Five Venoms alone because he had the thought of taking revenge for All-powerful Medicinal Stone. Him facing Five Venoms by himself was already an unfair fight. If they still interfered, then the people from Chivalry Sect would naturally appear, and there was a possibility that the war in Fox Cave would erupt beforehand!

But that was still not the worst case scenario.

If Class One Hall stood out to support Five Venoms, there was a great possibility that they would push Happy to Chivalry Sect, which would make Chivalry Sect even stronger than before.

It was something that Class One Hall absolutely did not want to happen.
