Chapter 1087: Profound Secret from the Insignificant Dragon Swings Its Tail

“Hand over the stone plate in your hands, and I will spare you.”

When he saw Happy and the white stone plate in his arms, Evil King quickly got rid of his idea of chasing after the mysterious woman who saved Shi Feixuan. His gaze was redirected to Happy, and as he spoke, a surging, mighty pressure filled the air and enveloped Happy.

Happy said nothing about it, and he did not bother with it either. He just took his time to cast a glance at the pretty figure who disappeared into the distance, and when he faced the pressure from Evil King while his powerful qi locked on him, his Nine Yang Divine Skill and Tendon Changing Classic activated on his own, and a powerful qi rose from his body.

Happy just used his movements to show his unbending will and chose to Evil King.

Evil King’s gaze turned dark, and he moved.

“Hmph!”

A thunderous voice filled his ears.

Happy just pulled his left hand upward calmly, and his Dragon Saber shot out with a howl. A golden saber glare perfectly locked down on Evil King’s silent palm strike.

“You’re pretty good.” Evil King’s swift palm strike had not been able to do anything to Happy. He snorted coldly. “Unfortunately, you’re still too young and naive to think about using just these few tricks to fight against me.”

Palm shadows filled the air, and the presence of a powerful martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm shot up to suppress Happy. He also used his attacks in an attempt to subjugate Happy.

However, while these attacks were enough to make a normal player panic and even be completely suppressed, unfortunately for Evil King, he was currently facing Happy, who already had experience with his attacks since a long time ago.

Once Evil King raised his hand and his qi surged, Happy could accurately deduce and understand what sort of attack Evil King wanted to use. His true origin aura quickly enveloped his entire body, and he advanced by attacking with his saber.

Bang!

The black palm shadows landed on Happy’s true origin aura, and they only managed to whittle down very little true origin. In the span of a breath, Happy’s true origin aura recovered.

Evil Monk was shocked.

“Who are you to Mad Monk?!”

But as he cried out in surprise, Happy had already attacked with Dragon Capture.

Evil King’s movements froze. Then, Happy executed Joined Finger and attacked Evil King’s chest. It was followed by a dazzling and incredibly fast saber glare.

Boom!

The flames of Evil King’s body fortification rose around him briefly, like snowflakes. Almost at the same time it vanished, the finger force and saber glare that descended instantly crumbled.

“So… you’re part of the evil cult.” Evil King sent Happy reeling back with a palm strike before he jumped and landed lightly sixty-five feet away from Happy. His eyes were filled with puzzlement and shock as he sized up Happy. Then, he said something that caused Happy to be incredibly gloomy.

“I’m from Shaolin Temple.” Happy rolled his eyes to Evil King’s statement before he quickly realized that he had said something wrong. He snorted coldly and added, “The Murong Clan and Shaolin Temple can both be considered my sects. But it’s really baffling for you to say that I’m from the evil cult.”

“Nonsense!” Evil King smiled coldly. “You say that you’re part of Shaolin Temple? You’re from the Murong Clan, even if you share a very good relationship with Shaolin Temple, how could you actually get Shaolin Temple’s supreme classic from those conservative, idiotic monks? What a joke! The evil cult is the only sect that does whatever we want, and aside from us, who would dare hand over Tendon Changing Classic to a person who is unrelated to Shaolin Temple?”

Happy instantly fell silent.

He finally understood why Evil King would call him a part of the evil cult. Happy inherited Mad Monk’s legacy, and in a sense, he was already Mad Monk’s successor, and before Mad Monk became a monk, he was indeed a part of the evil cult. In fact, he was the young master of Sky Demon Sect!

“Since you’ve already mastered Tendon Changing Classic and that thick-headed fool is taking care of you, I won’t trouble you…”

Once he said this, Evil King showed that he wanted to stop fighting. He cast the white stone plate in Happy’s hands with a reluctance to give it up before he turned around to leave without another word.

He might have made the entire thing sound nice, but Happy knew that once he realized that Happy had mastered Tendon Changing Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill, and he could not kill him. That was why he took the initiative to retreat and leave so that he could search for the other target.

“Everyone has the right to punish those from the evil cult! Senior Shi, I’ll have you die here!”

Happy naturally would not let Evil King go and cause trouble to Young Yu Yan. When he saw Evil King turning around to leave, he growled and activated Phantasmal Body Movement Skill. In an instant, he reached his maximum speed and went to grab Evil King.

“You’re quite bold.”

There was no need for Evil King to even turn his head around. With one remote palm strike, he dug a trench on the ground among the grass. It went straight at Happy, and without another word, Happy activated Dragon Swings Its Tail.

Bang!

At the moment the palm strike landed on his body, it increased the force driving Dragon Swings Its Tail forward. Happy looked like a dragon while he twisted in the air, and with just one fierce kick, he instantly arrived in front of Evil King.

But at that moment, when he managed to land an instantaneous kick on Evil King, Happy suddenly thought of something.

This was the true profound technique in Dragon Swings Its Tail!

It was the profound technique belonging to the third move in Ten True Dragon Styles.

If the enemy’s attack was strong, then his body would turn into a vessel to absorb the enemy’s power so that he could reflect all the damage he suffered to the enemy, because the damage in Dragon Swings Its Tail could inherit the enemy’s damage and speed.

In the past, whenever Happy used Dragon Swings Its Tail, it was either when the enemy he faced was too weak, which made the effects in Dragon Swings Its Tail seem insignificant compared to the amazing effects in Dragon Capture and Petite Dragon, or it was because the opponent he faced was of equal strength to him, and he could never sense the true strength in the profound technique within Dragon Swings Its Tail.

But at that moment, Happy finally discovered the hidden attribute within the move.

Bang!

This kick had surprisingly managed to make Evil King take half a staggering step back before he managed to regain his footing. He stared at the footprint Happy managed to leave on his chest in disbelief.

“I see, so that’s how it is.”

When he discovered the different way to use Ten True Dragon Styles and how amazing it was, Happy even forgot to chase after Evil King while he had the upper hand after he landed on the ground. He stopped moving with his face full of crazed delight, and he mumbled under his breath.

He always had the thought that Dragon Capture and Petite Dragon were more practical than the next two styles in Ten True Dragon Styles, but by the looks of it now, it was because he had never discovered the secret behind the third and fourth style.

‘I wonder, what is Dragon Coil’s effect?’

When he thought of this, Happy suddenly had a great desire to rediscover the amazing properties within the fourth style in Ten True Dragon Styles, because the third style, Dragon Swings Its Tail, had produced incredibly astonishing effects when fighting against powerful enemies, and as long as he could activate it at an appropriate time, not only could he be immune to the enemy’s attack once, he could also transform the enemy’s attack. If he managed to activate it while the enemy used his killing move, then the power in that move could not be underestimated!

While he thought about this, Evil King suddenly turned around once more and wanted to run once more.

Happy was already incredibly troublesome to deal with, since he had Tendon Changing Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill. The sudden attack just now had also caused Evil King to feel slightly threatened and uneasy. There was no way he would continue staying to fight against Happy. When he thought about how the person who brought Shi Feixuan away was leaving further into the distance, he did not even bother with executing a palm-generated wind. He just turned around and fled.

Once he understood the profound secret behind Dragon Swings Its Tail, Happy was even more unwilling to let Evil King go in his moment of ecstasy. He said nothing and just chased after him.

When he saw that the distance between them was slowly widening, Happy quickly brought out an Origin Leopard Pill from his Universe Bag.

His true origin became full, and the air flowing out of his pores started coming out of him in waves.

He did not bother with saving up his qi. He started charging forward at maximum speed. He chased after Evil King, despite the fact that he was far away from him. No matter what, his spiritual sense could cover an area that was more than 625 feet, and it was impossible for Evil King to shake him off within a short moment.

*****

Evil King and Happy were both as fast as phantoms, but Young Yu Yan, who ran at the forefront, had a load on her, and she was not fast. Once she entered the government-made road, she summoned her steed, and Shi Feixuan woke up blearily because of the bumpy ride.

“He caught up.”

Shi Feixuan’s words terrified Young Yu Yan.

Naturally, she knew who Shi Feixuan was referring to with the “he” she mentioned.

When she took this spontaneous quest, she had been notified that she had to break free from Evil King’s chase for within twenty-four hours. If she was caught up, Shi Feixuan and her lives would be in danger, and the quest would also fail.

Shi Feixuan’s survival was nothing to her, but Young Yu Yan was worried that the stone plate in Shi Feixuan’s hands would fall into Evil King’s hands.

This stone plate was incredibly important for Happy to fortify the strength on his side!

When she heard Shi Feixuan’s warning, Young Yu Yan’s expression changed. She remained silent for a few seconds before she quickly sent two letters. One was for Happy, and the other was for Silver Wolf.

In the letter for Happy, Young Yu Yan told him the details of the quest she received, and she also told him about her current situation. At the end of the letter, she mentioned that she was heading to the closest city.

She knew that Happy would definitely chase after her, and she gave him her destination because Happy might be able to take a shortcut and catch up to her.

As for the letter for Silver Wolf, Young Yu Yan asked him to mobilize a group of Mu Clan elites to intercept Evil King. After all, she was currently the legitimate clan lady of Mu Clan, and it was perfectly fine for her to ask the Mu Clan members to stall some time for her.

Once Silver Wolf received his letter, he quickly replied, [I’ve already notified a few of the branch masters nearby. I told them to quickly send people to receive you. The people from Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, and Wind Assault Tower have received the news. If you have a signal flare with you, you can fire it at any moment so that they can be certain of your location.]

Young Yu Yan did not forget to remind him. [Alright. The person chasing after me is Evil King Shi Zhixuan. Tell everyone to be careful. Don’t get too close, or else we’ll be sacrificing far too many lives unnecessarily.]

[Got it. I’ll tell them. I’ll also tell them that this task is a contribution for Mu Clan.]

Silver Wolf knew that Young Yu Yan had been carrying out a rather high-level hidden quest over this period of time. He knew about how severe this matter was, and he showed great seriousness to the situation by quickly contacting the branch masters.

*****

Just as Young Yu Yan expected, once he sent the reply letter, Evil King’s figure and his unique, powerful, and mighty pressure appeared on the horizon behind her. His gaze was dark, and his speed made him move like a phantom, causing the players who were moving on the government-made road to avoid him.

“This won’t do. Evil King is too fast.”

Shi Feixuan’s spiritual senses had not disappeared yet, and she turned her head around to cast a glance behind her before she shut her eyes. She tried her best to suck in a breath before she said to Young Yu Yan, who held her.

“He has a unique tracking skill. We can’t run from him. Besides, with the horse’s speed when it’s carrying both of us, we’ll definitely not be able to reach Fate with Wealth. Let me go.”

Naturally, Young Yu Yan was unwilling to let her go. “No. We’ll soon reach the city, and someone will come out to stop him.”

Right when she finished speaking, a red flush appeared on Shi Feixuan’s face.

“Evil King’s evil side has come out. It’s impossible for anyone to stop him. We cannot lure him into the city and bring suffering unto the people. If we do that, I’d rather die in Evil King’s hands!”

Young Yu Yan found herself speechless. The system notified her that she was not to shake off Evil King by entering the city, or else Shi Feixuan would definitely leave, and the quest would also fail.

When she thought about how Happy might possibly have taken a shortcut to the city, Young Yu Yan instantly panicked. She quickly sent a letter in preparation to notify Happy.

At that moment, Young Yu Yan noticed that a group of people had appeared at the horizon ahead of her, and they split up into different directions before her eyes.

Her eyes lit up, and Young Yu Yan brought out a signal flare without hesitation from her Universe Bag. Then, with shaking hands, she fired it at the sky.

Bang!

A loud bang sounded. The dazzling red flame was even more dazzling in the air.
