"Shi Feixuan!
When Shi Zhixuan heard the voice coming from among the Buddha statues, he frowned. His awe-inspiring and solemn gaze quickly landed on the snow-white figure who was as graceful as an immortal. He swept his gaze over the area behind Shi Feixuan, but he did not see Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan, and his expression instantly turned sour.
He originally thought that Empress Yin could at least hold back the girl from Kind Boathouse, but the situation was clearly a little different from what he expected.
Evil King did not know about Empress Yin and Happy's fight just now, and when he worked together with Empress Yin to kill Shi Feixuan, Empress Yin never showed that she was not around.
But now!
Empress Yin fled far away beforehand.
He left behind Happy, who was incredibly troublesome to deal with, and Shi Feixuan, who was at the middle stage of Myth Realm. Shi Zhixuan had also used up quite a lot of his true origin, but right then, the scene he did not want to see the most had appeared.
"The last stele is in your hands?"
Shi Zhixuan's eyes were very sharp. He fixed his gaze on the stone plate in Shi Feixuan's hands, and his expression changed again.
"The two stone plates in your hands are sacred items of the Buddhists. Kind Boathouse will naturally take good care of them. Evil King, hand them over!" Shi Feixuan landed not too far away and surrounded Evil King with Happy in front and behind him.
"Hmph!"
"Two juniors, you sure are arrogant …"
Shi Zhixuan's expression returned to normal, and his gaze gradually turned cold. "You want to snatch the stone plate from my hands? With just the two of you, you're still lacking."
"Dafo Temple is one of Shaolin Temple's descendants. Since it is a relic left behind by the divine monk and the Shaolin Temple disciples are happy, it is only natural that we cannot stay out of it. Shi Zhixuan, unless you step over my dead body today, don't even think about bringing the stone plate out of Dafo Temple!"
Happy's expression darkened, and he took a step forward almost at the same time as Shi Feixuan.
Their presences instantly fused into one, and they went to pressure Shi Zhixuan from the left and right.
Shi Feixuan's goal for this trip was the stone monument, and she was certain of it.
At that moment, Happy also received a system notification. He had to help Shi Feixuan kill Evil King and complete the quest to snatch back the items left behind by the ancient divine monk in Dafo Temple.
Now that the situation had changed, Happy was naturally duty-bound to do it!
"Arrogant!"
No matter what, Evil King was the strongest in the evil cult. He snorted coldly and actually chose Shi Feixuan as his breakthrough point, and he seized the initiative to attack.
Immortal Pressing Art!
Shi Feixuan's expression changed.
When he noticed that the threat from Shi Zhixuan's attack was far greater than before, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly retreated, and a Clear Sword River formed by countless sword qis quickly blocked Shi Zhixuan's path.
Evil King had actually chosen her as the breakthrough point between the two of them …
This caused her to be slightly surprised and in disbelief. When she defended herself, she did not use her full strength. Her instincts told her that Evil King should be creating a diversion.
But Shi Feixuan clearly did not know that Evil King had fought against Happy for a while, and even after using everything he had, he could not kill the damn Shaolin Temple secular disciple. Right then, when he saw that Happy had used Fire Qilin Blood and was surrounded by true origin aura, he turned into a cockroach that could not be killed, Evil King did not even think about fighting against him. Hence, when he attacked, he used his strongest killing move that was as swift as lightning without hesitation.
"Break!!"
Shi Zhixuan's expression turned fierce.
"Pu!"
Shi Feixuan was caught off guard for a moment, and she was immediately at a disadvantage.
The Illuminating Sword River instantly crumbled under the countless palm imprints!
With a grunt, Shi Feixuan was sent flying.
However …
Shi Feixuan finally snapped out of her daze at the critical moment, and she resolutely let go of her longsword.
A dazzling light shot through Shi Zhixuan's body at lightning speed, forcing him to stop chasing after her. His body froze for a moment, and he reappeared more than thirty feet away.
Heart Sword Illumination!
During the critical moment, Shi Feixuan finally did not let Shi Zhixuan have an easy time. She forcefully used her true origin to deal a heavy blow to Shi Zhixuan.
A terrifying gash appeared on Shi Zhixuan's arm, and blood instantly dyed half of his robe red.
Thud! Thud!
Shi Zhixuan moved very quickly. He quickly sealed off his acupressure points and stopped the flow of blood. At the same time, he destroyed the wisp of sword will that had rushed into his body.
Shi Feixuan might have suffered quite the loss, but she managed to force Shi Zhixuan to stop, and it created a chance for Happy. He seized the time and used Wave-like Subtle Steps to arrive near Evil King.
"Leave the stone plate behind!"
Recondite Steel Heavy Sword turned into three large black aquatic dragons. With the speed of Wave-like Subtle Steps, they intersected with each other and locked down all of Shi Zhixuan's escape routes.
"…"
Evil King's expression changed.
He quickly delivered three palm strikes with his uninjured arm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black aquatic dragons were easily crushed by Evil King, but the hidden force contained in them was not so easy to deal with.
Evil King was struck three times in a row, and he grunted. He staggered backwards and scowled.
"Again!"
Right now, Evil King was injured and his strength was greatly reduced. Naturally, he did not want to give Evil King the chance to turn the tables so easily.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
It charged out of the scattered black aquatic dragon sword glare at an unbelievable speed.
Evil King's pupils shrank.
Before he could react, a kick struck his chest violently.
"You're just asking for death!"
Evil King had never been kicked by a youngster before.
He attacked with his Undying Seals in anger and rammed it against Happy's shoulder.
A huge force gushed out.
However, once he used his true origin aura to weaken nearly half of his true origin, the remaining power was clearly not enough to injure Happy severely. In fact, it could not even shake Happy's posture or interrupt his next move.
Dragon Capture!
Happy used the force to flip over Evil King's head.
Slap!
His palm, which was as sturdy as a dragon's claw, seized Evil King's injured arm, causing him to freeze for an instant. At the same time, a qi that was several times stronger than a normal person's rushed into Evil King's body through his wide meridian system.
The acupressure points that had been sealed were instantly opened.
Thud!
The wound on Evil King's arm instantly turned into a red fountain.
At the same time, the two stone plates in Evil King's hands were thrown into the air.
When he saw the stone plates, Happy's eyes lit up.
He instinctively grabbed them.
Bang!
Happy's movements were already very fast.
But unfortunately for him, hidden force and Dragon Capture could not affect a top-class elite like Evil King for a long period of time. Evil King instantly reacted to the situation and delivered a palm strike against Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, which he was prepared to swing down horizontally.
A loud bang rose.
Happy looked as if he was struck by lightning. His act of grabbing the stone plates was forcefully interrupted. His body shuddered, and he was forced dozens of feet back with his sword.
But Evil King Shi Zhixuan was not much better off.
He hastily clashed head-on against Happy, and the suppressive effect of his powerful arm strength showed up, which was a rare sight. He actually managed to send Evil King, who had his strength greatly reduced, flying.
'This is a good chance!'
Happy's eyes lit up.
But a scene that caused him to be shocked appeared.
Evil King's staggering figure suddenly found his balance in the air. A violent gust of wind came charging at him, and he actually managed to grab the two stone plates that were thrown away right in front of Happy. Then, he tapped against the ground with the tip of his feet and jumped more than one hundred feet away.
'So fast!'
When Happy got rid of all the inertia, he only saw Evil King jump and land twice before he quickly left into the distance. He vanished from Dafo Temple, and his speed was so fast that it was terrifying.
"…"
All of this happened too quickly.
From the moment Happy caught up to Shi Zhixuan and fought against him to the moment Shi Zhixuan's wounds opened up and he fled into the distance, only a moment had passed.
Shi Feixuan had only managed to stabilize herself by pressing a hand against her chest. Then, she saw that Shi Zhixuan was forced to flee after being heavily injured by Happy. She was stunned, and after a few seconds, she thought that she was in trouble.
"Evil King took away the two stone plates from the ancient divine monk!"
"Why didn't you stop him?"
Happy was already very gloomy, and he actually let Shi Zhixuan escape. Right now, when he heard Shi Feixuan's slightly reproachful tone, he rolled his eyes and said rudely, "If you want to stop him, go ahead.
"… If you want to stop me, go ahead. I'm too weak to stop you."
"…"
No matter what, Shi Feixuan was the successor of Kind Boathouse. She soon understood that her words were inappropriate.
"I was impatient. I apologize for offending you."
"It's fine."
Happy was not a petty person. Besides, he was facing an NPC, and she was Shi Feixuan.
"I see, so it's you."
It was only then that Shi Feixuan recognized Happy.
"We met three years ago at the tournament of swords at Mount Hua. You were the most outstanding among the young Shaolin Temple disciples at that time. I remember you."
"It's my honor to be remembered by you, Miss Shi." Happy smiled humbly, but he subconsciously tightened his grip over the stone plate in his hands.
Shi Feixuan's gaze quickly moved past Happy's hands, and her smile did not fade away. "I was wondering just now who could last for so long in Evil King's hands. So, it's you, Young Swordsman Happy. I haven't seen you for three years, and your strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
"Miss Shi, you praise me too much."
Happy said.
"If you hadn't come and heavily injured Evil King, it would have been impossible for me to force Evil King to retreat alone."
"Young Swordsman Happy, you're too humble." When Shi Feixuan said this, her clear eyes that shone with divine light finally landed on the stone plate in Happy's hands.
"This time, I heard that Evil King is prepared to bring out the relics of the ancient divine monk from Dafo Temple and bring disaster to the world of martial artists again. I came here on orders from my sect to stop him and take back the relics of the ancient divine monk."
The meaning behind her words was very clear.
Happy's heart tensed, but he said without changing his expression, "What a coincidence.
I came to Dafo Temple this time for this matter as well. Shaolin Temple is a holy land for Buddhists, and it has the same origin as Dafo Temple. I came here this time to help Shaolin Temple take back the relics of the ancient divine monk! "
When she said this, Shi Feixuan frowned slightly.
Happy's expression did not change as he continued speaking.
"But it's a pity that I was lucky and only managed to get one. Evil King took two of the four stone plates."
Shi Feixuan stared at Happy with a contemplative expression and said, "Young Swordsman Happy, if you trust Kind Boathouse, why don't you hand the stone plates to me? I will bring them back to Kind Boathouse, and we can ensure that Evil King will not be able to get these two stone plates!"
Right when she finished speaking, Happy retorted without backing down.
"Miss Shi, you're wrong. Kind Boathouse might be a holy land for Buddhists, but it is Shaolin Temple's duty to protect the divine monk's relics. I think it's better if you leave such a dangerous task to Shaolin Temple. Of course, if you trust me, I will be honored!"
"…"
Shi Feixuan's expression changed.
It was not difficult for her to hear Happy's determination based on his words.
But Happy's words just happened to contradict her, and she could not find a reason to use against him.
Shaolin Temple!
They were the titans of the world of martial artists!
Just like Kind Boathouse, they had the right to speak in front of the divine monk's relics from Dafo Temple.
What troubled Shi Feixuan even more was Happy's strength. If Happy were a normal martial artist, she would not need to say anything. She would just take the stone plates.
"…"
Because of that, both of them stared at the stone plates in their hands and sank into an indescribable silence.
