The headquarters of Blood River Sect was littered with corpses, and blood flowed like a river.
A faint, bewitching laughter affected the circulation of qi and mobility of all the Blood River Sect members in the area. However, from the moment Happy drew his sword and stood in front of them, Blood River Sect's morale rose, and under the influence of Sunflower Aura, they managed to block Cold Moon Palace's attack.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at Lu Mingyue, who levitated in the air with an unpleasant expression.
They also stared at Happy, who stood proudly on the ground with his sword drawn.
A solemn atmosphere swiftly spread out between them, and it was especially so for Lu Mingyue. When Happy clearly showed his intention to fight for Blood River Sect, his expression turned sour. His fair and slender hands were pulled back into his red robe, and the fierce look between his eyebrows became even more obvious.
At that moment, Lu Mingyue did not bother to look into the details of Happy's reconciliation with Blood River Sect. He guessed that the two of them had formed an alliance based on benefits, or else, the elites of Blood River Sect would not have rushed to the headquarters so soon.
"If that's the case …"
Lu Mingyue stared at Happy from above. He gently flicked his sleeves and swept his lips over them. His eyes, which had been painted with eyeshadow, looked like two bolts of lightning that had suddenly lit up in the dark.
"Very well. I'd like to see how much you've improved after a month."
Even though Happy's fame had spread far and wide, and with the help of the first-person view pay-to-view system, he was showing signs of surpassing Dragon and Phoenix Rank, Lu Mingyue did not pay much attention to it.
He had witnessed Happy's close-quarters combat abilities, and he knew that Happy had an ultimate technique. Hence, when he experienced it with his first-person view, he could not sense the shock the others felt. He could only analyze it.
Happy's strength seemed to have improved compared to when he was in the peach blossom forest, but it also did not seem to be that great. Aside from the last move that was rather eye-catching, he could also use some of the other small tricks.
It was the opposite!
Over the past month or so, to inherit all of Dongfang Bubai's legacy, he had trained hard day and night. In fact, with his girlfriend's help, he had even put on makeup. Not only did his progress increase at an astonishing rate, his divine art had also reached an even higher realm.
That was why!
Even when he faced Happy, Lu Mingyue did not feel too much pressure.
"Ding!!"
Suddenly, Happy frowned. He placed his Noble Sword horizontally in front of him without any sign. He flicked his arm, and with a clear sound of metal clashing against each other, a spark shot out from the Noble Sword.
"The Needle Tide Art has already gone from a tangible form to a formless one?"
He frowned and raised his head to cast Lu Mingyue a glance. He was shocked.
Lu Mingyue was also incredibly shocked.
The second level of Needle Tide had the effect of silently taking the enemy's life. This was especially true in the Sunflower Aura. Under the influence of the demonic sound, the enemy would not be able to sense it at all. Even if they did sense it the moment it was about to reach them, their speed would be much slower than usual...
Lu Mingyue's original intention was to use his Shadowless Needles to break through defenses and destroy Happy's Golden Bell Body Fortification so that he could heavily injure Happy's qi. He did not expect that Happy's senses would have already reached such a state.
The instant they clashed, both sides secretly raised their guard …
"It's impolite not to reciprocate! Take one of my moves too! "
He let out a long string of laughter and tapped against the ground. He stepped on the corpses on the ground, and with an incredibly strange speed that defied the laws of gravity, he slowly climbed up. He pointed his sword at Lu Mingyue.
Along the way, a whirlpool of inner energy formed outside his body, silently dispelling the influence of Sunflower Aura! The speed was getting faster and faster!
Lu Mingyue felt gloomy, as if he was targeted by his nemesis.
Every time he executed Shadowless Needles, he would use up too much qi, and he could not use them continuously.
Normal flying needles could not break Golden Bell Cocoon either. Hence, when Lu Mingyue saw Happy charge at him in such a wild and unrestrained manner, he felt as if he had fallen into his own trap.
But he had to fight against Happy.
The disciples of Cold Moon Palace and Blood River Sect were all below him. He could not immediately dodge Happy's attack, right?
Lu Mingyue snorted coldly. He braced himself and went up against Happy. He intended to use Sunflower Aura's effect on his speed to fight against Happy for a while, and when the situation became chaotic, he would see whether he would have a chance to release his Shadowless Needles.
But what he did not expect was that Happy's body would continue to increase in speed in the air!
In the blink of an eye, he closed in on Lu Mingyue, as if he was completely unaffected by Sunflower Aura.
'This is bad!'
A hint of panic flashed in Lu Mingyue's eyes. By the time he registered what was going on, it was already too late for him to retreat.
Lu Mingyue flicked his hands repeatedly, and the endless sounds of air being pushed aside rose. More than ten flying needles shot out like rain, and the crystalline threads behind them were all snapped without hesitation by Lu Mingyue. They were treated as normal hidden weapons.
"Haha!"
Happy had naturally seen through Lu Mingyue's weakness a long time ago. He did not dodge, and instead, he swiftly closed in on Lu Mingyue without slowing down. He flicked his wrist, and the Noble Sword released a layer of sword light that cut off Lu Mingyue's retreat. At the same time, he formed his left hand into the shape of a claw.
Dragon Capture with one hand!
'I knew it, it's this move.'
In his panic, Lu Mingyue had already prepared a way to handle the situation. At the moment he saw the change in Happy's left hand, he gritted his teeth, sucked in a breath, and delivered a Soft Palm Strike.
Since they were close to each other, both of them were incredibly fast. Bang! Lu Mingyue's palm strike actually managed to break Happy's Dragon Capture slightly. Even Happy could not help but exclaim in his heart, "Amazing!"
But unfortunately for him …
If he did not execute Dragon Capture, he would not use up any qi.
After a short pause, Happy activated Petite Dragon and avoided Lu Mingyue's second palm strike. He then forcefully activated Dragon Capture and seized Lu Mingyue in his hands.
"Pardon me!"
Happy shouted loudly. While Lu Mingyue could not fight back, his Noble Sword shone with a blue light that was as bright as a star!
Seven Stars Brilliant Moon!
The Blood River Sect disciples felt their blood boil with excitement.
When the people from Cold Moon Palace saw that their palace master was hit, they gasped in surprise and sucked in a sharp breath.
But!
The situation of Lu Mingyue being instantly killed did not happen.
No matter what, Lu Mingyue was a powerful martial artist with Sunflower Manual. Even though his close-quarters combat abilities were slightly weaker, he had plenty of ways to protect himself, and he was very mobile.
Lu Mingyue guided the flying needle, and with an astonishing speed, he crashed into Lu Mingyue!
He really did crash into Lu Mingyue.
At the moment the flying needle shot out, Happy's third slash landed on Lu Mingyue's body. The violent force caused Lu Mingyue to lose control of his body.
Boom!
Lu Mingyue's body crashed violently into the wall to the left of the headquarters. He looked incredibly pathetic, and he lost all his might.
In truth, Happy knew very well that with Lu Mingyue's strength and mobility, even if he had Ten True Dragon Styles, it would still be impossible for him to kill him within a short period of time. If Lu Mingyue insisted on running, it would be even more impossible for him to succeed.
If Lu Mingyue wanted to run, no one in the same realm as him could do it!
He had only seized the time between Lu Mingyue's Shadowless Needles and used a trick, or else, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Lu Mingyue with just one move.
'I knew it!'
At the moment Lu Mingyue got up from the ground, he looked incredibly pathetic. He glared at Happy. "I've used up too much qi today, and it's not convenient for me to fight against you for a long time. I'll come for you again — Hmph! Retreat! "
When the large group of Cold Moon Palace disciples saw that the situation was bad, they left the battlefield and retreated from Blood River Sect like a tidal wave.
