Even though he did not use Full Winds in Long Skies or any of his ultimate techniques, Happy's Sun Finger was already incredibly brutal and domineering based on the strength he gained from Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic.
In less than half an hour, the mighty Sword Sect Master was already covered in wounds. His bright brocade robes were covered in holes, and there was blood at the corners of his lips. His left arm had also been pulled off, and it was drenched in blood. He looked incredibly miserable.
As time passed, Sword Sect Master was no longer as domineering and awe-inspiring as before. His fierce sword qi was no longer around either. He only parried Happy's dense and fierce attacks, and he staggered.
"Just who are you?!"
Sword Sect Master had clearly been in Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction for a long time, and he had not heard of the rumors in the world of martial artists. However, he knew that such a powerful person would definitely not be a nobody in the world of martial artists.
Happy laughed heartily.
"Don't you think it's meaningless for you to ask so many questions now?" While he spoke, his attacks never stopped.
"Just what sort of grudge does Sword Sect have with you that you actually came to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction to cause trouble for me?" Sword Sect Master might have a noble status, but he was not someone who did not fear death, and he could not accept the fact that he had died so unjustly.
"Sect Master, you know why I came here."
"…"
Sword Sect Master felt gloomy again, and his eyes sparkled. "Did Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction invite you to fight against me?"
"I have nothing to do with Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction." Happy cackled coldly. "You can only blame yourself for obtaining something that you shouldn't have. Are you still thinking that you're lucky? Are you looking down on me? "
Once he said those words, Sword Sect Master's face instantly turned pale.
"You actually came for it? No, I believe that I didn't make any mistakes at that time. How did you know that it was in my hands?"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it!"
Happy naturally would not tell him that he had experienced everything in another world. His unfathomable words caused Sword Sect Master's thoughts to run wild.
"I know. You learned about it from Heaven Shaker Fortress. Only those in Heaven Shaker Fortress know that this item must be nourished in an extremely cold place." When he said the last sentence, he was already gritting his teeth.
"Hmph."
Happy did not say anything else. He predicted that Jian Ao would not be able to last for long, but strangely enough, up until then, the system had not given him any notification regarding Heaven Crystal.
"Since you know of its existence, I won't hide it anymore. The thing you want is in the lake, tied to one end of the Sky Worm Silk … For it, I stayed in the Heaven Lake for three years … I nurtured it for three years, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would become your wedding dress."
The Sword Sect's master's face was pale, and his eyes were lifeless. He laughed bitterly, "Alright, you can take it, but I hope that you can stop now and let me and my people leave."
"You've offended the Sword Sect's Sect Master, and I don't think you'll let this matter rest just like that. I think it'll be better for you to stay, Sect Master."
"You …"
When Sword Sect Master heard Happy's cold words, he sucked in a sharp breath and said, "Don't go overboard. This is Heavenly Lake, and we've been fighting here for a long time. The people from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction have already received the news and rushed over. If you continue dragging this out, it might not be beneficial for you. At that time, the entire world will know that you obtained Heaven Crystal. I'd like to see how you will protect it! "
"Haha, you naturally don't need to worry about that."
Happy laughed loudly. "Besides, I seized Heaven Crystal, which you spent three years nourishing, from your hands. Sect Master, are you going to let me keep it?"
The Sword Sect Master's expression changed swiftly. His expression alternated between shades of green and white for a while before he became certain that Happy had indeed wanted to kill him and was determined to make him stay here.
"I can swear that once you take Heaven Crystal, you will not tell anyone about what happened today as long as you let me and my people go."
"Oh?"
Happy was slightly tempted.
Right when he finished speaking, the two of them clashed against each other before they separated.
Slap!
Slap!
The two of them stood in the distance.
The Sword Sect Master was finally freed from his misery. He held his left arm, and his right hand was covered in blood. He stood on the spot while holding his sword in a pathetic manner. He gasped for breath, and he did not look like the master of a sect at all!
Happy only had a few ice shards on his body. When he circulated his true qi, they automatically evaporated into water vapor, and he looked even more awe-inspiring.
"Swear!"
Happy might not be afraid of Sword Sect's revenge, but if he could quietly obtain Heaven Crystal and turn it into his trump card so that he could hide it, it would be a pretty good idea.
Sword Sect's master stopped fighting, and the other battlefield also quickly stopped fighting. Silver Wolf and Bar had already forced the two Myth Realm elites to stop fighting and retreat, even though they were already in a terrible condition.
Without another word, Silver Wolf and Bar retreated and sat down cross-legged to circulate their qi and heal the hidden injuries on their bodies.
…
"Sword Sect will stand for the world with its sword. Today, I will swear on Heaven Crystal!" The Sword Sect Master made his decision. He slowly walked to the spot where he used to fish, bent down, and picked up the Purple-gold Fishing Rod.
Crack!
The thin ice on the wild silk fell off.
Then, the sound gradually grew louder, and the originally flat ice was instantly crushed by an invisible hidden force.
Under Sword Sect's master's actions, a circular hole appeared on the ice on the surface of the lake.
But Heaven Crystal's presence still did not leak out.
At that moment …
The Sword Sect Master's expression changed.
"This is bad!
Heaven Crystal is gone! "
As he spoke, the Sword Sect Master swung the Purple-gold Fishing Rod in his hand, and the snow-white wild silk fishing line was brought out of the lake as if it was weightless.
Happy could clearly see that the other end of the fishing line in the Sword Sect Master's hand was empty, as if it had been cut off by something sharp.
The Sword Sect Master's face was pale, and there was a hint of anger in it. His expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth.
"It must be Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction's doing. They snatched Heaven Crystal from the water while I was not paying attention!" Once he finished speaking, he redirected his gaze to Happy.
"…"
Happy's gaze moved over the Sword Sect Master's face, as if he was completely unbothered by the fact that Heaven Crystal had been lost. He did not show a hint of nervousness, but faint puzzlement shone in his eyes.
…
"Ding!
The system notification:
"Activated Heaven Crystal Series Quest!
"The ancient divine weapon mysteriously disappeared from the Sword Sect Master's hands! Search for clues regarding Heaven Crystal!
"… Now, search for the Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction's master and search for clues!"
…
Silver Wolf and Bar's expressions changed at the same time.
Clearly, Happy was not the only one who received the system notification.
"Heaven Crystal?"
Their fight just now was equivalent to half a day's worth of training, and they had made quite a lot of progress. But when they heard the system notification about the ancient divine weapon, they put on puzzled and excited expressions while they looked at Happy.
It was only then that they knew that Happy had brought them to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction to search for the legendary ancient divine weapon — Heaven Crystal.
"What should we do now?"
Silver Wolf asked Happy.
Happy shook his head.
In truth, from the moment the Sword Sect Master stated that he had stayed in the place for three years, Silver Wolf had been a little suspicious, and he speculated that the process of searching for Heaven Crystal might not be as smooth as he had planned.
'I knew it!'
Because in the world three years ago, the quest he received only gave him the chance to use Heaven Crystal for a short period of time, and he could only nourish Heaven Crystal for one day.
But the Sword Sect Master had stayed in Heavenly Lake for three years!
There was a high possibility that the sect master of Sword Sect had an even better way to completely suppress the ruthless presence in Heaven Crystal. Hence, it was practically impossible for him to obtain an ancient divine weapon just by defeating a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm.
Right now, Heaven Crystal had disappeared, and the person who had done the most damage was naturally the Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction's Sect Master. He was an elite in the later stage of Myth Realm and the former master of Purple Bamboo Forest.
But Happy really did not want to cause trouble for the Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction's master.
At the moment Happy was absent-minded …
Thud!
The Sword Sect Master suddenly took a step back while holding the Purple-gold Fishing Rod, and he fell into the ice cave he had opened.
"This is bad!"
When he noticed that the Sword Sect Master had fled, Happy's eyelids twitched. Then, he caught sight of the other two elites from Sword Sect, and they shot into the snow forest at the same time. With a few jumps, they vanished without a trace. As for the heavily injured one, he had long since picked up the corpse of the person who died at the first moment and vanished without a trace.
In an instant.
The three elites from Sword Sect had all fled!
They had not obtained Heaven Crystal yet, and if they let the Sword Sect Master escape, it would be the same as letting a tiger return to the mountain, and there would be endless problems in the future!
"Damn it!"
"Silver Wolf, Sword Sect Master!" Happy could no longer care about chasing after the two Sword Sect elites. He gave an order and jumped into the bone-chilling ice lake without hesitation.
Thud!
Everything happened too suddenly. When Silver Wolf and Sword Sect Master reacted to the situation, there were already only two people left at the port.
"Let's go!"
…
When they entered the water, they felt a bone-chilling cold.
Tendon Changing Classic circulated automatically.
It was only then that the bone-chilling cold became slightly better, and they slowly got used to it.
Happy's target was the Sword Sect Master!
Even though two people had already fled, if the Sword Sect Master did not die, there was a high possibility that he would send out a hero's invitation and cause a huge ruckus.
Happy did not want to go for wool and come home shorn. He also did not want to land himself in trouble.
But he had to admit that the Sword Sect Master had chosen a pretty good escape route!
When he was in the water, his spiritual senses and senses were greatly weakened. Happy could only pay attention to everything within a circular area of thirty-two feet.
When he got used to it in the water, the Sword Sect Master had already disappeared. He could only vaguely sense the ripples of water coming from the west.
"Thinking of running?"
Happy was not good in the water.
But it did not mean that he was stupid.
He had let the Sword Sect Master escape just now because Heaven Crystal had indeed not appeared, and it had brought quite a huge shock to him!
Besides, when the system quest suddenly appeared, it caused Happy to sink into a momentary daze and sink into deep thought, which was why the Sword Sect Master had the chance to escape.
"I'll be damned if I let you run!"
Shing!
Happy dug his fingers into the ice above his head and stuck close to it like a gecko. He held his breath and quickly swam under the ice.
When he clenched his fists, he left five holes!
He used the powerful grip brought by the holes to move forward quickly, and his speed was much faster than when he swam in water. Even though the resistance from the water was great, when a thin layer of true qi appeared around his body, his speed increased exponentially. Happy was like a black monster swimming under the ice. In the blink of an eye, he swam dozens of feet forward!
Soon!
The Sword Sect Master entered the range of Happy's spiritual senses.
