The fist technique the Stone Giant used was Heaven's Secret Valley's high-tier martial art, Heaven's Secret Fist. Even though its realm was not very high and it had only reached the seventh realm, when it was combined with the materials used to create the Stone Giant, it was equivalent to a middle-grade masterpiece, and its combat strength had naturally increased to a very high level.
Also …
The Stone Giant did not have any fatal weaknesses. Its pure Stone Puppets had incredibly high resistance against attacks. They were very sturdy and could take a lot of hits. With the Puppet Trap Art increasing its movement speed, the Stone Giant's comprehensive combat abilities practically had no weaknesses to exploit, and there were no techniques that could be used.
Many people had to take turns to use the Stone Giant to train!
However, Happy had clearly destroyed Phantom Jade's understanding of this fact.
Happy seemed to be able to predict each of the Stone Giant's movements beforehand. He would always swiftly and accurately avoid the Stone Giant's attacks. His movements were steady, and he would naturally attack from suitable angles! The thick Hundred-battle Saber brought with it a pleasant, hoarse sound as it rhythmically cut deep gashes on the Stone Giant's sturdy body.
Stones flew everywhere!
At the moment the Stone Giant turned around to attack, Happy moved slightly to avoid the Stone Giant's attack radius.
Then, when the Stone Giant was about to chase after him, he moved forward again. He attacked with a purpose and dodged with familiarity. His movements were smooth and fluid!
Just like that, the girth of the pitiful Stone Giant's huge body shrank bit by bit as Happy patiently grinded it down. The effect of it becoming thinner was very obvious.
Even though he looked very normal and did not seem to be abnormal, as time passed, he did not make many mistakes. It instantly shocked Phantom Jade. He could not believe that the Stone Giant had managed to capture its attack trajectory, which was almost like an afterimage, and still be able to dodge its attacks with ease even when it had such terrifying attack speed.
He used the smallest amount of movement in exchange for the greatest amount of martial art EXP. Not only did he save time, he also reduced the danger to the minimum. If he continued for an entire day, this sort of training speed was terrifying!
Phantom Jade's expression was incredibly solemn. He finally began to understand why his three companions, who were in Blessed Realm, had suffered losses in that sort of situation.
Why was this guy practicing alone in such a dangerous area?
"…"
Phantom Jade sucked in a deep breath in his heart without batting an eyelid. He lowered his voice and gave an order to his companions beside him.
"We can't recruit this sort of person."
"…"
His companion's face was filled with shock, but he nodded in agreement.
Even though he did not observe Happy as carefully as Phantom Jade, during the moment they fought, he had sensed the power of lightning hidden under the calm surface. The pressure that had suddenly erupted from Happy still shrouded his heart, causing him to be unable to calm down even after a long time had passed.
"She's not here. It's a dead end inside!"
The man with the fan brought the other five people back to the main hall in a hurry. Without stopping, he pulled his men and horses towards another fork in the road not far away.
As the group passed through the main hall, they couldn't help but glance at the corner. They weren't in a good mood.
If this guy had been more tactful and told them about Red Coral's whereabouts earlier, they wouldn't have wasted so much time here.
"Young Master, why don't we just find Red Coral …"
The man who had been reprimanded had his back turned to Happy. He lowered his voice and made a gesture of cutting his throat.
"We'll talk later!"
Right then, Happy was a taboo in the man with the fan's heart. When he heard the man's words, he frowned impatiently and led his people into another fork.
However!
Just when the group rushed into another fork, a blurry figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall, and it quickly became clear.
"She's over there!"
Phantom Jade and the injured man walked at the back. When they sensed the movement behind them, they turned their heads around and saw a graceful figure in red staggering out of the white light ring. Their eyes lit up, and they excitedly shouted a warning to the group in front of them.
"Oh no!"
Red Coral's face turned pale. She wanted to move, but because she dragged the injured person down with her, she staggered, and she froze on the spot without being able to catch her breath.
When she entered the innermost hall, she had intentionally left some blood on the ground. Then, she went back to the entrance of the main hall and logged off! She completed her actions very quickly and in an instant, she believed that she would not be discovered by the people in the distance.
Besides, based on her understanding of the cautious personality of the man with the fan, he should have brought all his people into the fork in the innermost part of the hall …
Naturally, she did not expect that Happy would delay the man with the fan for a while, causing a slight deviation and flaw to appear in her originally meticulous calculations, and she would lose the chance to escape just like that.
When she saw that the man had discovered her and that the effects of the bounty quest had swiftly pulled her into battle mode, she could not log off safely. When she remembered the people the man had left at the entrance, Red Coral's heart sank. She pulled out her weapon and completely gave up on her hope of survival.
"Hahahaha!"
When the man with the fan and his group heard the commotion, they chased after her to take a look. Relaxed expressions appeared on their faces, and they surrounded her calmly.
"Red Coral, as expected of the top military adviser of Black Rose Clan. You're as cunning as a fox. I chased after you for half a day, and there were a few times when you nearly managed to escape …"
While he spoke, he walked closer. The dozen or so gazes of the man with the fan and his group brazenly sized up Red Coral's exquisite and protruding curves.
It had to be said that Black Rose Clan, which had always been famous for its beautiful female players, lived up to its name. Red Coral's skin looked as if it had been soaked in milk. Her skin was incredibly fair and supple, and her eyes were filled with indignation and vexation. They were stubborn and bright, and they gave off a unique charm that could captivate a person's soul.
"Hmph, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have so much to say?"
Red Coral ignored the group's aggressive gazes, and her pretty face was filled with scorn.
"How dare Purple Sun Sect claim to be the strongest sect in Jiangnan?! You just lost a few tributes, and you're already so angry that you won't stop until you die? You even sent a group of people to chase after a weak woman … Hmph! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?! "
The man with the fan became wary.
Before he could warn her, the men by his side could not help but look at each other and smile.
"Idiots, this woman is trying to trick us!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
When Red Coral finished speaking, she keenly noticed the group's facial expressions and reactions. She frowned slightly and quickly reacted to the situation. "Looks like you didn't come for those tributes, and neither did you come for me to take revenge. Could it be that you came for this?"
The smart woman brought out a simple and unadorned jade slit ring from her Universe Bag. She looked around before she focused her gaze and frowned. A puzzled expression appeared on her face.
"I picked this up from one of your leaders. Aside from this, I just can't think of anything else that would make you bother me so much. If that's the case, then it should have some sort of background, right? Or is it hiding some sort of secret? "
Once they received the reminder from the man with the fan, the others became wary and fell silent.
The man with the fan cast a glance at Red Coral, and his gaze darkened.
"Since you already know about it, then I can't let you live!"
When he said those words, the man with the fan did not notice that the battle in the corner had already ended. Happy stood with his back straight on a pile of shattered stones. He did not immediately pick up his spoils of war. Instead, he stared at the jade slit ring in Red Coral's hands in shock and bewilderment. He frowned, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
