Right when Thunderous Battle returned to the main hall of the ancient tomb, he heard hoarse and loud sounds of wind being torn. Rustle … Rustle … Rustle … The sounds were incredibly inspiring. They were calm, and they gave off a feeling that they were closely connected to each other. They came one after another, and they were incredibly straightforward.
When Thunderous Battle looked up, he was instantly stunned!
He saw Happy fighting against the Stone Giant alone.
He was still dressed in the inconspicuous attire of a hunter, and the weapon in his hands was the Hundred-battle Saber, which was not even a masterpiece. However, it had only been half a day since he last saw it, and a faint blue halo had appeared on the Hundred-battle Saber.
Halo!
Others might not be able to tell, but over the past few days, Thunderous Battle had been practicing the high-tier martial art, Infinite Sword Technique, and he knew very well what it meant. It was a sign that he had entered the seventh realm!
All high-tier martial arts would show signs that were different from low-tier martial arts once they reached the first level. Saber techniques would show saber light, saber glare, and saber halo, which would go from shallow to deep.
The first three realms would only show up in weapons, which would make the weapons shine brighter, appear more spirited, and become more intimidating.
From the fourth to the sixth realm, faint saber glares would appear on the weapons, and it would strengthen the attack radius and damage of the martial art. The damage would also increase by leaps and bounds.
From the seventh realm to the ninth realm, not only would the saber glares become stronger, when the user unleashed their attacks, halos would also appear, and the light would go from shallow to deep. Not only could it confuse the enemy's vision, it could also hide the user's attack trajectory.
Thunderous Battle remembered that when his Infinite Sword Technique reached the seventh realm, he had been excited for a long time, because it was the result of more than a week of hard work.
But he did not expect that Happy would only use a short three days to push Flowering Knights' Song to the seventh realm. It shocked him, and at the same time, he felt incredibly gloomy.
For a period of time, he stood not too far away and watched quietly.
As time passed …
Thunderous Battle gradually noticed some clues, and he frowned slightly. Occasionally, a contemplative expression would appear on his face.
Clearly, Happy had found a fixed pattern in the Stone Giant's attacks, and he used the Stone Giant's mechanical attack pattern to increase his dodging rate. Not only did it save him time to rest and heal, his familiarity with the continuous attack pattern also caused his attack frequency to become very astonishing, and it was several times that of his own. It was no wonder then why his martial art had improved so quickly. The level of a martial art was based on the number of effective attacks and the number of times he could defend against them.
Once Flowering Knights' Song reached the seventh realm, its damage increased by leaps and bounds. A few minutes later, Happy killed the Stone Giant in front of him and noticed Thunderous Battle walking over from the distance.
"Brother Lei, is it done?"
"Yes."
Thunderous Battle clicked his tongue and walked over. He cast a glance at the Stone Giant's carcass and smiled wanly. He went forward and punched Happy's shoulder. "You brat, you increased your qi realm in just half a day?
Happy smiled faintly and rubbed his shoulders.
"After following behind you for the past few days, Big Bro Lei, I've seen a lot of things. That's why I've figured out the moves of the stone giants. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am right now."
"Oh, come on, don't try to flatter me."
Thunderous Battle rolled his eyes. "I've been training with my friends for a long time, but they didn't manage to see anything. You're just making me look down on you, aren't you?"
Happy smiled and explained.
"That's different. There are a few of them. The stone giants will react to the people who are closest to them, and their movements will be rather complicated. Why don't you watch from the side?"
"Alright."
Thunderous Battle's expression became stern and he nodded.
…
Xuzhou City.
There were hundreds of players in the headquarters of Purple Sun Sect. Their gazes were cold while they held their weapons and nocked their arrows. They gathered in the hall and corridor with murderous intent, and their gazes were fixed on the door.
Phantom Jade, who had appeared in the ancient tomb before, stood to the left of an awe-inspiring middle-aged man with a stern expression. He had a metal whip in his hand, and it exuded an aggressive and chilling presence!
To the right of the middle-aged man was Little White Dragon. His face was no longer frivolous, but more stern and solemn. Ever since he was revived, he had long since put away his paper fan. He held his Red Bronze Longspear tightly and stared at the door with a burning gaze.
There was a reason why Purple Sun Sect acted as if they were about to face a great enemy!
In truth, the jade slit ring came from a Blessed Realm player from Immortal Fox Village. He had obtained it after he killed hundreds of foxes.
Purple Sun Sect originally did not pay much attention to it, but later on, they learned from a certain channel that after the Blessed Realm player from Immortal Fox Village died, he went to Beijing to search for a powerful sect — Life Ending Hall.
Recently, quite a number of sects in Beijing had been active in the south. Among them was Life Ending Hall, which was famous for its assassinations and hidden weapons.
Life Ending Hall …
There were more than one hundred Blessed Realm players among them, and the number of players who had high-tier martial arts was in the double digits. Over this period of time, they had stolen countless tributes, and it was said that they had already filled up Life Ending Hall's warehouse.
Purple Sun Sect might have the strength and prestige of the strongest sect in Xuzhou City, but compared to Life Ending Hall, they were much weaker. If they fought against them, it would be the same as throwing an egg against a rock.
Yesterday, the sect master of Life Ending Hall had sent a messenger pigeon and stated in a stern tone that Purple Sun Sect had to return the jade slit ring within two days, or else, Life Ending Hall would invade Yangzhou en masse and destroy Purple Sun Sect's headquarters.
Even though the government was in charge of the safety and defense of the cities, they did not dare interfere in the fights between sects in the world of martial artists. They would turn a blind eye to it.
Hence, they would not care about the fights that happened near the headquarters of the sects.
That was why Purple Sun Sect had mobilized all their forces and formed such a grand formation to fight against Life Ending Hall's attack when the time limit was up!
"Foster father!"
Little White Dragon had died once, and it had completely dispelled its previous arrogance and conceit.
It was especially so when Life Ending Hall threatened him. He could sense that Purple Sun Sect was weak, and he was incredibly worried. He could not help but make a suggestion to the sect master of Purple Sun Sect.
"The jade slit ring is no longer in our hands. Why don't we tell Life Ending Hall about it and let them fight each other?"
When he heard this, Phantom Jade put on an attentive and agreeable expression.
Life Ending Hall's strength was extraordinary. Just now, the scouts had reported that there were a lot of people from Life Ending Hall in the city, and they were swiftly gathering there. It was clear that the worst-case scenario was about to happen.
Phantom Jade knew very well that once the two sides started fighting, the effort Purple Sun Sect had spent over the past month and the foundation they had built would be for naught. It was something he did not want to see!
"…"
The expression of the sect master of Purple Sun Sect did not change. It was as if he did not hear anything. He just stared ahead of him and said nothing.
A few breaths later, the area outside the gate was filled with more than one hundred players dressed in archery gear. The people in the lead had the emblem of Broken Blade Smeared with Blood sewn on their chests. They looked wild and had extraordinary presences. At that moment, they stared at the plate above Purple Sun Sect with dark gazes. Their fighting spirit burned!
