652 Unappealing to Those of Refined Tastes

Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms pushed the battle to its peak. Happy's strength had already reached Inaction Realm, and his palm strikes were something that normal Inaction Realm fighters would find hard to withstand, much less a normal member of Towering Palace.

In the blink of an eye, more than one hundred people from Towering Palace died in Happy's hands, and even more people were injured. The situation was incredibly chaotic, and Towering Palace's momentum had scattered to the point that it was difficult for them to support each other.

"Kill him!"

"No matter what, we are not to let him leave at ease!"

The elites of Towering Palace descended into the battlefield.

Once Grim Green sucked in a deep breath, he looked away and said to Clear Music as well as the others, "Palace Master, we can't just sit around and watch anymore! If we can't kill Happy today, Towering Palace's dignity will be completely ruined! Not only will our reputation in the Chinese world of martial artists plummet to the ground and our core be damaged, even the foreign organizations will not value us as highly as before—"

"I know!" Clear Music's expression was grave.

Happy's strength had increased by quite a large degree compared to the time when he was at Hero's Mountain Villa. His blue robes remained clean even during the chaotic battle, for he received no hits on his body.

Even Grim Green had been forced back with just one move!

It was something that largely exceeded her expectations.

The current situation caused her a huge headache.

She had wanted to retain her dignity as the palace master of Towering Palace, but clearly, there was no way she could just continue sitting by and watching while things took a turn for the worst.

"We'll attack together."

"Let's go!"

Clear Music resolutely took off her large robe to reveal the curvaceous lines shown by her skintight clothes. However, the chilly and awe-inspiring expression on her face was enough to get rid of all the impure thoughts within the men around her.

Grim Green looked away from Clear Music's body, and both of them entered the fray.

"Towering Palace members, retreat!"

Clear Music gave her order, and the members who were attacking Happy felt as if they had received a general pardon. They retreated and helped their injured brothers leave.

They were filled with despair when they faced Happy.

With their strength, it was impossible for them to even touch Happy's robes. The power contained within his palm strike, which was as strong as an Inaction Realm martial artist's attack, however, was as powerful as a tidal wave, which made it difficult to block.

In an instant, only Happy, Clear Music, and Grim Green were left on the empty ground in front of the hall.

Happy's eyes focused. He resolutely stopped his attacks and shifted his gaze to Clear Music.

"I've never had the fortune of watching you fight, Palace Master Music. I heard that you have mastered the essence of Qimen Dunjia. Today, let me bear witness to how great is that skill."

The genius of Qimen Dunjia was within its mysteriousness. When it was matched with Grim Green, who was an elite with Nine Solitary Swords, they managed to give Happy a sense of urgency.

But unfortunately, he had experience with fighting against Ling Huchong in his previous life, and he had a deep impression of Nine Solitary Swords, which meant that his knowledge of them did not lose to that of Grim Green.

As for Qimen Dunjia, that would depend on how great was Clear Music's understanding toward it. If it were not too high, then she was basically not a threat. However, he still found the idea of them both attacking him together a novel one.

Once he mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, an invisible Nine Yang Body Fortification had appeared around his body, and its defense did not lose to that of a normal high-tier body fortification technique.

On top of that, his qi came in an endless stream, so he could activate Petite Dragon at any moment he wanted. Happy could last in a battle for a very long time while making sure that his qi never ran out.

Even if he used a major move like Arrogant Dragon's Regrets, he could recover his qi within a very short period of time. The power of his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms also increased by leaps and bounds because of it.

However, he had not used any of his major moves earlier because he had been waiting for this moment.

He had attacked Towering Palace without any precedence for the sake of intimidating and beating down Clear Music's gradually increasing ambition. He also had a few other goals.

First, to intimidate the restless Class One Hall in the north. After all, Dream Clouds' shadow could be found in the attacks from Wind and Rain Alliance.

And second, he wanted to let the foreign powers understand that Towering Palace did not have the final say when it came to matters in China! If they thought that they could remain safe and unharmed under Towering Palace's protective wings, Happy would tear apart their delusions!

"I've long since wanted to learn just how strong you are, considering the fact that you are the strongest in the game, Happy."

"If that's the case, why are you still waiting?!"

Right when Happy finished speaking, Clear Music swung her arms, and two rays of light shone. They dazzled Happy, and Clear Music moved gracefully. At the moment Happy shut his eyes, she vanished without a trace.

Grim Green let out a long howl, and his longsword tore through the air!

At the instant Happy closed his eyes, he felt fear in his heart, as if a poisonous snake had set its eyes on him. It instantly made a chill crawl down his spine.

"Perfect timing!"

Happy laughed long and hard while he faced the terrifying sword will that came surging at him. The inner part of Towering Palace howled, even though there was no wind inside. Many of the corpses and crushed walls on the ground were instantly raised by a tornado.

Whoosh!

The black tornado swept up the objects on the floor and quickly formed a large black dragon consisting of the corpses of Towering Palace members. The powerful suction force continued to release an astonishing force.

"ROAR!"

Grim Green's sword momentum crashed against the black dragon and created a hole in the dragon, but Grim Green immediately sensed an astonishing suction force coming from his sword.

His purlicue shuddered, and he was nearly unable to hold his longsword. His qi was instantly sealed, and he could not help but sink into the black dragon's mouth.

Grim Green then heard a hearty laughter.

"Hahahaha! When it comes to sword techniques, only One Emperor's is presentable! Your Nine Solitary Swords is still far from amazing!"

"You—"

A strange anger filled Grim Green's chest, but before he could counterattack, he was kicked a few times in the chest and sent flying out of the black dragon like a kite with its string snapped.

This time, the power of the attack was incredibly strong. Grim Green felt like his chest had been struck by lightning a few times, and a mouthful of blood gathered in his mouth.

He could not control his body from crashing violently against the ground, and he created a trench that was dozens of feet long before he finally stopped in front of Musical Note and the others.

No dejectedness could be seen on his face. He quickly climbed to his feet and was filled with hope as he stared at the large black tornado in the air.

Happy had focused his attention a little too long on him, so the palace master should have gained a chance to attack him!

Just as he expected, the moment he had shot out, the black dragon-shaped tornado trembled for a moment, and right before everyone's eyes, it crumbled with a bang. Countless corpses fell everywhere on the ground.

However, once the dragon-shaped tornado vanished, what appeared before everyone's eyes caused Grim Green's smile to freeze, and Musical Note as well as the other people's faces turned stark pale!

Whoosh!

A grim and cold breeze blew across Towering Palace's headquarters.

Happy and Clear Music stood facing each other while there were more than one hundred corpses surrounding them. They did not say a single word to each other.

As the heavy sounds of breathing could be heard, the countless martial artists outside the headquarters could clearly see that Happy had seized Clear Music's thin neck in his hand!

Happy's expression was calm, and he was holding Clear Music's pale neck as if he was caressing a lover. There was a faint smile on his face. "Palace Master Music, Qimen Dunjia is, no matter what, an unorthodox fighting style. It's unappealing to those of refined tastes…"

His next words were extremely quiet, so no one could overhear them. It seemed like he had said something specifically to Clear Music.

Her face was pale. She shuddered while staring into Happy's eyes and lips in disbelief with a wide open mouth.

"Make your decision."

Happy smiled faintly.

The Towering Palace elders who were prepared to go up and help Clear Music saw her make a motion to not take any action.
