  “Ding!”

  When Sword Sect’s master and Happy charged into the darkness one after another to locate Heaven Crystal, the system notification finally arrived.

  “Thousand-faced Human Fox has chosen to give up on Heaven Crystal during a critical moment.

  “You obtained a clue related to Heaven Crystal!

  “Seize Heaven Crystal before Sword Sect’s master finds Heaven Crystal!”

  Thousand-faced Human Fox had the courage to carry the secret of Heaven Crystal with him to the grave, but he would absolutely not perform any meaningless sacrifices……

  During the critical moment, he realized that if he hid the news about Heaven Crystal, he would just fall into Jian Ao’s trap. That was why he did not hold back and gave up the information about the sword to divert the two people’s attention.

  Thousand-faced Human Fox’s plan was highly successful.

  Right after he announced the information about the sword, both of them instantly found themselves unable to find any time to continue causing trouble to Thousand-faced Human Fox!

  Just as Thousand-faced Human Fox expected, both of them charged into the distance at the same time.

  Jian Ao had a way to locate Heaven Crystal, which was why he had wanted to kill him to silence him, and he even did it in a very relaxed fashion. But now, a powerful competitor had appeared, and there was no longer any meaning for him to attempt killing Thousand-faced Human Fox anymore. His current plan was to get Heaven Crystal as quickly as possible, or else, all of Sword Sect’s efforts over the years would be in vain.

  As for Happy, Thousand-faced Human Fox’s life and death had nothing to do with him. Heaven Crystal was the only thing that was important!

  Why should Happy stay behind after he obtained news of Heaven Crystal’s whereabouts? Jian Ao was an elite walking down the dao of heaven. His speed was astonishing, and if Happy stopped for even a single moment, Heaven Crystal might end up in his hands. The difficulty of trying to get Heaven Crystal from Jian Ao was just as difficult as trying to get Undying Seals from Evil King. He had to fight for every second.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  He activated his spirit senses fully. Happy fixed his gaze at the direction where Sword Sect’s master had run off to. At the same time, he searched through every corner of the small island by spreading his spirit senses all over the area. He did this to search for the cave Thousand-faced Human Fox mentioned.

  The island was not small. Even with spirit senses, he could not search through the entire island within just a small amount of time.

  ‘Jian Ao has a special method to search for Heaven Crystal. I won’t go wrong if I follow him.’ Happy identified the direction where Jian Ao traveled and chased after him closely.

  Jian Ao naturally knew that Happy was following him closely.

  “Begone!”

  Naturally, Jian Ao would not be able to remain as calm as he did when he faced his greatest competitor for Heaven Crystal. When he noticed that he was getting closer to Heaven Crystal, a thought rose in his head, and he turned around to attack.

  Rip!

  A slash with the laws of the dao of heaven tore through the air, and it was as if the air in the entire sky was instantly drained away. All manner of being was pushed to their side!

  Jian Ao’s offense was fierce, but Happy was not irritated by it. Instead, he was delighted!

  “Perfect timing!”

  He activated the Dragon Swings Its Tail.

  At the instant the attack was about to touch his body, it was as if his body absorbed an endless amount of power. His speed increased astronomically, and he instantly arrived near Jian Ao’s head.

  Their distance between each other was instantly reduced to zero!

  “You—”

  Jian Ao cried out.

  Even though he instantly reacted to it and managed to use his sword to parry the fierce kick by Dragon Swings Its Tail, the kick from Dragon Swings Its Tail was strong enough to rival a full-powered strike from him, and it sent him flying.

  Whoosh!

  His attack landed.

  While Happy was airborne, he attacked with one beautifully executed Sun Finger.

  Full Winds In Long Skies!

  “Roar!”

  The power in Sun Finger, when coupled with Full Winds in Long Skies, once again caused Jian Ao to feel a great sense of danger. But this time, the situation was even worse. The dragon roar that had been accumulating for a long time charged out from Happy without any prior warning. The violent sound wave was mixed with a qi force, and it brutally rammed into Jian Ao’s body when he froze for a moment. It caused him to stagger.

  Five fierce finger-generated gusts of wind descended on him fully

  \r \r \r

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  He shuddered. Jian Ao was unable to defend himself any further. In an instant, he was dumbfounded by Happy’s perfectly on point chain attack. He was attacked five times, and the powerful forces caused him to be pushed more than thirty feet away.

  Whoosh!

  Wave-like Subtle Steps.

  Happy turned around without hesitation when he managed to force Jian Ao back. Without stopping, he charged forward. At a spot less than 656 feet away was a hidden cave, and there were three inconspicuous stones stacked at its entrance.

  ‘Found it!’

  “Bastard!”

  Jian Ao’s enraged shout rose as he chased after Happy. He was incredibly fast.

  But once Happy discovered the cave, he resolutely used his ultimate techniques to hold Jian Ao back by two to three seconds. Now, he took one Origin Leopard Pill, and he was not that much slower than Jian Ao. In an instant, he was more than sixty feet away from him. Even Jian Ao could not pose as an immediate threat to him.

  Whoosh!

  Two black figures that moved like phantoms shot through the forest swiftly.

  One of them traveled before the other.

  “Stay where you are!”

  When he saw that Happy had already arrived in front of the entrance, Jian Ao became exasperated. His face was red with rage, and he shouted nonstop.

  Happy ignored the pressure from Jian Ao’s qi. He used Wave-like Subtle Steps and did not slow down in the slightest. He flew over the three stones and charged into the cave.

  *****

  Right now, it was night. The lighting in the cave was bad, and even if he stretched his hand in front of him, he would not be able to see his fingers.

  However, the darkness could not stop Happy. With his spirit senses, he could see everything as bright as day. No matter how dim his environment was, he could clearly see everything around him.

  There was a winding path in the cave.

  Happy took a few twists and turns, and he soon sensed an astonishing chill coming from a spot deep in the cave. In the darkness, his eyes lit up.

  Heaven Crystal!

  ‘I found it!’

  He changed his direction, and Happy shot toward the chill without any hesitation.

  Whoosh!

  When he was 328 feet away from Heaven Crystal, the area in front of him suddenly became wide and bright.

  Happy shot into the wide area from the tunnel. He was now at the heart of the mountain.

  “This is……”

  The heart of the mountain was not incredibly large. Aside from a small, refreshing spring ahead of him, the other areas were flat, and he could see everything with a glance. The faint chill came from the spring!

  Above the heart of the mountain were droplets of water that landed on the spring. They seemed to have come from objects shaped like stalactites. The faint ripples that formed crashed against the ripples formed by a strange, crystalline sword when it trembled at the center of the spring. It made the surface of the spring instantly turn chaotic and disorderly.

  Heaven Crystal!

  This was the first time Happy saw Heaven Crystal in such a calm state. At the moment he saw Heaven Crystal after he entered the cave, he thought he encountered a fake, and he was stunned for a moment.

  Whoosh!

  The sound of cloth flapping entered his ears through the tunnel behind him, and the sound was becoming clearer.

  Happy snapped out of his shock.

  Regardless of whether it was real or fake, he should put away this Heaven Crystal before thinking about anything else.

  Happy moved and went near the spring. He used Dragon Capture and seized the air. The sword standing proudly in the refreshing and cold spring left the spring. It spun in the air and landed in his hands.

  At the moment he held Heaven Crystal, the clear sound of the system’s notification entered his ears.

  “Ding!

  “Congratulations! You completed the quest for the ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal!

  “You obtained 10,000 points World of Martial Arts Reputation Points!

  “Ding!

  “Activated the next quest for the Heaven Crystal Quest Series—Protect Heaven Crystal!

  “Sword Sect has planned for years to obtain Heaven Crystal. Now, you have Heaven Crystal in your hands, and Jian Ao wants to kill you. To obtain Heaven Crystal, Jian Ao would use every method in his disposal to kill those who have Heaven Crystal!

  “You are now hunted down by Jian Ao. Think of a way to protect Heaven Crystal and flee from Jian Ao within two hours, or else, all the elites from Sword Sect will come out to hunt you down!”

  The system notification caused Happy’s delighted expression to swiftly change.

  He turned around, and Happy saw Jian Ao!

  The man blocked the only exit in the heart of the mountain with a dark look on his face. He stared at Heaven Crystal, which was in Happy’s hands. The great killing intent rolling off from him had practically froze over the air in the heart of the mountain.

  “Put down Heaven Crystal, and I will spare you!”

  Jian Ao quickly snapped out his anger. He swept his gaze over the cave and swiftly occupied the exit, which was a rational move. He calmly engaged Happy in a stalemate.

  When Happy saw this, his mood instantly became even more solemn. He scowled.

  It was already not very realistic to escape from being hunted down by an elite who was at the dao of heaven within two hours. And if he went past this time limit, he would definitely die!

  But Jian Ao had put on a defensive stance by blocking the tunnel. It had now become even harder for him to rush out.

  However, since this was a quest, it meant that there was a way out of this.

  Happy quickly thought of the other person on the island. He was someone who could offer him help, and he was Thousand-faced Human Fox!

  The difficulty in shaking off Jian Ao alone was too difficult, but if he worked with an elite who was at the later stage of Myth Realm, he would have a chance.

  Thousand-faced Human Fox had outstanding lightness skills, and his lightness skills did not lose to someone at the dao of heaven!

  If they went against Jian Ao two against one, they would be able to create a chance!

  When he thought of this, Happy instantly calmed down.

  Right now, what he needed to do was to break Jian Ao’s defense, and he had to enter the tunnel behind him.

  While the power in Dragon Swings Its Tail was profound, he could only use it if his enemy took the initiative to attack. If Jian Ao insisted on remaining in the defense, his defense line would become incredibly troublesome.

  He redirected his gaze. Happy’s eyes quickly fell on Heaven Crystal, which he just obtained.

  This Heaven Crystal was different from the time he first obtained Heaven Crystal.

  In the other world three years ago, Heaven Crystal had lost its ability to bear and control the sword will contained in it, which caused the sword will to turn into a ruthless and terrifying sword will. It hurt those who had it while injuring its enemies as well. It was not something a normal person could control.

  But now, when he held Heaven Crystal, he could feel wisps of bone-chilling cold coming from it.

  Its sword will seemed to be suppressed by an incredibly cold presence in the sword. Its originally ruthless presence seemed to have become much gentler, and it was no longer aggressive.

  ‘Nourishing the sword for only one or two days can truly not compare to nourishing the sword for three years!’

  While Happy was gasping in amazement over Heaven Crystal’s change, he found something else different about Heaven Crystal.

  In the other world, when he obtained Heaven Crystal, he could not use it at all, and he could not learn its attributes, but since this Heaven Crystal was nourished for three years, its attributes were entirely revealed before his eyes.

  After taking a look at it, Happy’s expression instantly turned incredibly strange.

  He read it again, and one more time for good measure.

  ‘It’s seriously OP!’

  After being nourished for three years, Heaven Crystal’s attributes were incredibly domineering.

  *****

  Happy looked away from Heaven Crystal, and he sucked in a deep breath with his head thrown back.

  “Move!”
