writer:Black Swordsman Online      update:2022-07-14 16:41
  There were plenty of people who came to watch the fight at Mount Tai, and among them there were powerful players on Dragon Rank, Phoenix Rank, Famous People Rank, and One Hundred Demon Influence Rank. There were also many great players who were not weak but had yet to become famous.

  They were people from Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Class One Hall, and Towering Palace. However, all of them wore Bamboo Hats, and since there were plenty of them around, no one could recognize who was who.

  They were slightly confused by the first few slashes, especially when the duo entered a deeply worrying fight where life and death could be determined in an instant. The lightning fast changes in position due to the dazzling black lightning left the onlookers unable to follow what happened because there were too many things they needed to take in.

  The only thing that they were certain about was that One Emperor’s sword technique was becoming faster and fiercer. The ground nearby was filled with trenches, and the trees not too far in the distance were already cut to the point that they were beyond recognition.

  The people closest to the fight retreated repeatedly to avoid the sharp and fierce sword glares. They were afraid that the fight would reach them.

  “It’s too fast.”

  Lin Xiao’s face was filled with shock and graveness while he stood in the crowd. As he watched, he found himself unable to follow the two’s rhythm.

  It was only the first few slashes, but they were already so strong!

  But he was even more impressed by Happy.

  He had actually managed to remain highly alert in such a rapid rain of sword slashes and dodged them in an orderly fashion. This sort of ability seemed to be even rarer than One Emperor’s attacks.

  ‘The fifth slash……’

  Zhou Yu’s expression was very sour.

  He had fought a few times against One Emperor before, but he never saw this skill.

  When he put himself in Happy’s position, he soon came to an unwelcome conclusion. Perhaps he could dodge the first few slashes unharmed, but the latter ones were too fast. He could not react to them, and as One Emperor progressed further into this skill, Zhou Yu would definitely be injured, and soon, he would lose.

  But in truth, he would even have a hard time withstanding the fourth slash. As of then, he did not even have the right to force One Emperor to execute the fifth slash.

  But Happy was able to withstand the fifth slash. So far, he had not shown any mistakes.

  \r \r \r

  ‘Is this their strength?!’

  Vast Heaven stood behind the crowd, and his chest heaved. His emotions surged wildly.

  One Emperor’s sword technique had fused damage and speed together. They created a perfect combinations, and it was the most terrifying sword technique in the world!

  Even though Six Pulses Divine Sword was a supreme divine skill, the scene before him taught him something new. While the user could become strong through the martial art they learned, a martial art could become incredibly terrifying because of the user as well.

  Countless martial artists in the crowd stared at the intersecting black lightning bolts in the field while harboring different thoughts in their minds. They watched Happy, who avoided the attacks beforehand, and their expressions gradually became numb.

  The fight allowed them to broaden their horizons, but it also delivered a great shock to them.

  At that moment, when One Emperor showed up once more, a hint of resolution and graveness shone in his eyes. A dazzling black sword force suddenly shot out from his hands.

  The black sword force was like a black bird moving freely. It instantly struck Happy when he appeared!

  Thud!

  Lin Xiao, Silver Wolf, and the others could not help but suck in a sharp breath. Their pupils swiftly widened!

  It appeared!

  It was the attack that had injured Ling Huchong! Happy finally forced One Emperor to use his sixth slash! However, by the looks of it, Happy did not have the chance to defend or dodge it. He was hit head-on!

  Clang!

  A loud sound shot out from Happy’s body. Then, a dim golden light scattered. Happy was then sent flying dozens of feet away like a cannonball.

  His feet sank deep into the ground and drew two terrifyingly deep and long trenches on the ground. Happy growled and raised his head with great difficulty. There was an incredibly clear gash on his armor.

  But he managed to withstand it! He managed to withstand the hit head-on! He was not injured!

  The people who were watching in the crowd sucked in sharp breaths together.

  They could tell that the slash earlier was definitely the sword skill One Emperor had used to injure Ling Huchong during Dragon Tiger Arena.

  When those with sharp eyes looked at Happy at that moment, they noticed that Happy’s skin had turned bronze under his Golden Armor. Once he completely negated the power of the sword force, he recovered slightly. A thick blotch of red appeared on his face, and a red flash shone before he recovered.

  Nine Yang Divine Skill had brought Happy great benefits!

  The powerful spiritual senses allowed him to sense his enemy’s actions and the next abnormality beforehand.

  The sixth slash was even more terrifying than the fifth, and he needed to use even more qi.

  Happy had seized the moment his qi and blood surged madly to activate the profound secret of Golden Bell Cocoon ahead of time. While he took the initiative to push forward, he got rid of Golden Bell Cocoon. Then, right when One Emperor attacked, he activated his Life and Death Realm body fortification—Arhat Body.

  Even though he could only turn his body into bronze with his current Arhat Body, its defense was something Golden Bell Cocoon could not compare to. It was especially true when he activated Bronze Arhat. His body turned as hard as bronze, and his defense increased by leaps and bounds. Once he relied on Golden Bell Cocoon to negate some of the damage as well, he was not severely injured.

  He recovered from the slight internal injuries he suffered once he circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill once.

  However, he was lucky that he used Golden Bell Cocoon and Arhat Body to provide two layers of defense for himself. He had also seized the moment when there was a barely noticeable gap between One Emperor’s attacks. It was precisely because it was that quick that his plan worked. If it were any other martial art, Golden Bell Cocoon’s instantaneous effect would have disappeared a long time ago.

  If that were the case, Happy might not be in such a good condition right then!

  But when he thought about it, the sword slash was truly powerful. Its damage might not lose to Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets when it was at its peak, but its speed was even faster.

  For the first time, One Emperor had a stunned expression on his face. He stared at Happy’s face, clearly showing that he did not expect that the fifth and sixth slashes would not be able to severely injure him.

  Happy did not dodge, but received the sixth slash head-on!

  One Emperor sucked in a deep breath and suppressed the raging emotions in his heart. He stopped sixty-five feet away and smiled wanly.

  “I didn’t expect that there would truly be someone who could force me to use my last move. With my current qi, I can only deliver this slash once. Its damage is very terrifying, and it cannot be compared with the former six slashes at all. As of now, I have not yet mastered it.”

  “If I can bear witness to your seventh slash, even if I die, I will have no regrets. Attack me!”

  Happy relaxed slightly after withstanding the sixth slash.

  After all, it was something that many of the elites in his previous life had not been able to do even after they spent three years practicing.

  To Happy, receiving One Emperor’s sixth slash before anyone else in his previous life and remaining unharmed was an achievement that filled him with enthusiasm. After all, One Emperor was once the strongest in the game and invincible.

  “I’ll fight with everything that I have against your last slash!” Happy said. “Perhaps I won’t lose to your seventh slash. Heaven shall decide just who will win and who will lose!”

  The people watching the fight all held their breaths. Everyone could tell that the duo’s duel had entered the most intense stage.

  The final slash would decide the victor!

  And it might also possibly determine their death too!
