309 Weapon Change!

Seven corpses lay strewn on the deck. The man with the hatchets and his five companions were just a few steps away, and they sucked in a sharp breath at the same time!

Even though the seven people did not have high qi cultivation, they were all in Blessed Realm! The man with the hatchets and his five companions believed that if they attacked swiftly, they could instantly kill one or two people, but killing seven people in one breath was something they could not do!

The mysterious man was too fast!

The problem was not that their body movements were not fast enough or that their swords were too slow. Instead, it was because their brains could not keep up with the speed. If they increased their speed abruptly and their minds and reactions could not keep up, it would be like them challenging a mountain road with multiple bends at two hundred miles per hour. If their skills weren't perfect, they would crash and die. They needed to have ample experience and practice before trying something dangerous like that.

The very first time they witnessed the mysterious man with the Bamboo Hat attack, he had only delivered one slash, and he had already injured the person with the strongest defense among them. The second time he attacked, he shocked even more people compared to the first time he attacked. It was as if he wanted to prove that he had not just made an empty promise. The words "kill without mercy" flashed in the six people's minds, and they looked at each other at a loss.

At that very, screams of pain and enraged roars rose from beyond the ship.

When around a dozen players rushed to the ship, they were flung off by a continuous stream of sword glares. The mysterious man had turned around and landed on the second level, and his sword moved like the wind. The martial artists who managed to survive under the old man's hand could not escape from the disaster. Right when they met the man in the Bamboo Hat, they died, because Happy attacked ruthlessly and viciously!

Soon, the old man with the brocade robe at the second level had a circle of corpses around him.

Happy's appearance swiftly attracted people's attention, which soon turned into hate. The players who forced their way onto the ship charged Happy simultaneously!

"You thickheaded fools!"

With the help from the old man in the brocade robe, the ship gradually regained its peace. However, Happy began to feel frustrated because of the enemies that continuously boarded the ship.

'There's too many… If this continues, no matter how many of them I kill, I won't be able to kill them all!'

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

His Seven Stars Sword Style had not reached Grandmaster Realm yet, and he could not activate Wind Spirit Spin. Hence, he could not kill large groups of people. It was a matter that irritated him and made him feel gloomy.

He had to think of a way out.

He could not use Seven Stars Sword Style anymore!

If he used Flowering Knights' Song, he could activate Wind Spirit Spin. With its damage, he could handle the situation, but his speed would be rather slow. While thinking about that, Happy took two steps backwards. His positioning made him move like a phantom, and he avoided a few people's attacks. His Nation Protecting Divine Sword—renamed Noble Sword—thrust outwards then was withdrawn from a person's chest while blood gushed out!

Happy took some time to turn around and cast a glance at the men and women on the deck. The man with the hatchets and his group might not have immediately left, but they had wisely chosen to just watch the situation. They did not bother the other armed escorts who had trouble handling the situation. By the looks of it, they were prepared to only take their next step after they observed the situation.

'Haven't given up, have you?'

Happy frowned. He suddenly put away his Noble Sword, flipped his hand around, and brought out his Hundred-battle Saber from his Universe Bag.

Even though he obtained a few Tachis that had attributes that were better than his Hundred-battle Saber, he was not used to the style of those weapons, and he did not like them either. He felt that they were not as domineering and steady as his Hundred-battle Saber!

Once he held Hundred-battle Saber, Happy quickly brought out a black medicinal pill from his Universe Bag. He then tossed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Thousand-year Red Ginseng!

It was the medicinal pill he had obtained from the royal mausoleum, and it had the effect of increasing his qi realm by one realm for a time being.

It could also increase his combat abilities by 10%!

An aggressive presence swiftly rose around Happy's body. His qi surged, and it did not lose out to the old man's at that moment.

"HA!"

He jumped.

His body was incredibly light, and his condition became much better than before!

At that moment, Happy had the misconception that his body movements and lightness skills had returned to the period of time when he was at his peak in his previous life. Even though more enemies had jumped on the ship, his head was incredibly clear.

Extreme confidence boiled in his chest before it burst into flames

"Kill them!"

He activated his Golden Bell Cocoon.

Happy did not dodge. He crashed head on against a martial artist who charged at him from the air. He moved with an indomitable spirit while he seemed to be filled with the intention to die in a heroic manner.

The expressions of the people on the deck changed.

"He's just asking for death…"

The people across from Happy were Blessed Realm and Mystical Realm players. The seven Blessed Realm people from before could not hope to compare to them.

However, the eyes of the man with the hatchets who had sat down cross-legged to circulate his qi went wide at that moment. He stared at the large golden bell that formed around Happy, and his mouth slowly fell open.

Golden Bell Cocoon!

At that moment, the man with the hatchets suddenly realized that the mysterious man with the Bamboo Hat was probably…

Boom!

At that moment, a loud bang rose in the air.

'I knew it!' The man with the hatchets had a stunned expression on his face.

Around a dozen people had crashed into the golden bell, but not only did they not manage to deal any damage to Happy nor make him retreat, the powerful rebound had even resulted in some of the attackers toppling over.

The dark blue saber glare in the air was like a smooth layer of ice. With a speed that clearly surpassed what it could usually execute, it drew a magnificent arc ahead of the saber.

Wind Spirit Spin!

A group of people looked as if they had been torn by a violent gust of wind in the air.

Blood gushed in the air!

But that was not all.

Because that tiny amount of blood spilled was not enough to intimidate the large crowd!

Bang! Bang!

Happy jumped out of the ship. His dark blue saber glare was like the God of Death's scythe in the air. It knocked away multiple batches of people, and they cried out in surprise as they fell into the river.

Flowering Knights Slash!

When Happy landed where there were the most people, he spun around like a whirlwind, and his dark blue saber glare exploded madly.

It attacked everyone in a circular area of a few feet around Happy, and they instantly fell dead!

When Happy was still at Fox Cave, he had swept through the people from Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect while in Blessed Realm. His Flowering Knights Slash had contributed greatly to that. Right then, he was in Mystical Realm, and his qi realm had become stronger because of Thousand-year Red Ginseng.

The players who came from a few small towns couldn't hope to escape from him unscathed.

"Blue-robed Noble Sword User…"

The six who had chased after Happy and left the ship saw him madly killing the crowd at Common Redd Bank. Upon seeing it, they instantly recognized the mysterious man.

If they still did not figure out his identity, they would be really slow in the head!

Golden Bell Cocoon! Yellow Dragon Archer Gear! Seven Stars Sword Styles! And Flowering Knights' Song!

Those were all Happy's signature…

It included the Bamboo Hat he got from the royal mausoleum. All of the items fit Happy's descriptions!

The people beyond Common Reed Bank also became restless. Many people had recognized Happy. Some of those who were rather slow simply retreated far away and did not dare approach the place when they saw that quite a number of people's attacks were useless against the mysterious man while he killed nearly one hundred of them.

The people on the ship also found themselves engaged in a tough battle when no reinforcements came even after they waited for a long time. Soon, they were either killed or thrown into the river by the old man in the brocade robe.

'I think I should have dissolved the danger over here!'

Happy immediately noticed when the people around him decreased in number. He stopped executing Flowering Knights' Slash and looked around him with a cold gaze. Then, with a tap against the ground, he returned to the ship. With a few jumps, he headed to the other ships.

*****

A group of people in the distance finally looked away.

One of them found himself speechless.

"I didn't expect that the Murong Clan's backup plan would be him!"

A few people looked at each other at a loss. Their expressions were stiff, and they smiled bitterly.

Once the woman with the white veil looked away, a faint hint of a smile that was rarely seen on her showed up on her lips.

"That's about right. If Happy, who is the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank and the eldest senior brother of the Murong Clan, is the one who triggered this storyline quest, we should have something entertaining to see later on. 'I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me.' I heard that Shifting Stars is an ultimate technique that is most suited for group battles. This might be a trial specifically tailored for Happy."

If Happy had been there and had heard her words, he might have been moved by them.
