Shick!
A barely audible sound of air being torn rose. Since it was extremely quick, it gave people the feeling that it was fake. When the people heard the swiftly leaving sound, quite a number of them who were fighting fiercely at the back gate of Heaven Shaker Fortress saw a silver light in the horizon.
It seemed like a star that vanished the next moment!
"What is that?"
The people at the front door of Heaven Shaker Fortress noticed the speck of light that looked like an illusion, but they could not see it clearly, and it did not seem real as well.
But a few angry shouts that were incredibly exasperated and sounded like a clap of thunder rose from the direction of Sword Crafting Hall.
"Luo, you bastard!"
"You're so despicable! How could you use Ward Sword Art to throw Heaven Crystal away?!"
The people who shouted in anger were Malicious Spirit of Four Cloud Range Immortals and enshrined elder of the Nangong Clan!
They had thought that the Sword Sect Master would use Heaven Crystal to kill Malicious Spirit. Malicious Spirit was even prepared to face him by retreating slightly further away.
He did not expect that the Sword Sect Master would throw Heaven Crystal away at full force. It shot into the horizon like a flash of lightning. Its momentum was astonishing, and the speed was shocking to behold.
They were stunned. When they reacted to the situation, they charged out of Sword Crafting Hall, but they only saw a silver layer of sparkles in the distance. They simply could not see the specific location of where Heaven Crystal went to.
The Sword Sect Master, who was injured by Heaven Crystal, laughed loudly.
"Clan Master Bei, this time, you owe me one! Remember it!"
Once he finished speaking, he turned around and shot out of Sword Crafting Hall, then ran in the opposite direction at the speed of lightning.
"Bastard!"
"Don't you dare run!"
The old man from the Nangong Clan was incredibly angry. Heaven Crystal was small, and it was incredibly sharp. It might have fallen to some spot underground when the Sword Sect Master threw it, and even if he tried to search for it, he did not know the precise location. He could only follow after the Sword Sect Maste. It was the only possibility for seizing Heaven Crystal back.
"Don't let that bastard Luo run!"
Malicious Spirit followed tightly behind him. With a shout, the other three of the Four Cloud Range Immortals forced back their enemies without hesitation and ran to the front gate of Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Bei Xiao and the others chased after them for a while. When they saw those fiends run out of Heaven Shaker Fortress without turning back, their eyes became fierce, and they looked toward the numerous men in armor outside the fortress.
"Kill them!"
*****
Thud!
A faint sound of air being sliced reached Happy's ears. It was the sound of an object that was cutting through the air decelerating.
Within the area of his spiritual senses, he saw an incredible light that was accompanied with an exceptionally domineering sword qi stabbing into a wall of the col. It brought about great shock to Happy.
Even though it lasted only for a short while, the clear and sharp sound of air being pierced, along with the domineering sword qi that was unique to Heaven Crystal still caused Happy to immediately register what was going on.
Heaven Crystal!
*****
"It's here!"
"The sect master succeeded!"
"Take action now!"
The group of Sword Sect elites surrounding the bonfire while they meditated in the cold were the first to notice Heaven Crystal's arrival. Their faces were filled with excitement, and they got up quickly before they ran to the wall where Heaven Crystal was stuck.
"Damn it, it's too deep."
Since the strength with which the Sword Sect Master's had thrown Heaven Crystal was too great and the weapon was sharp, it buried itself deep into the wall. The group even lost sight of it.
Since they were not too far away from Heaven Shaker Fortress, the group did not dare to be idle. Sword qi raged in the air while they madly cut away at the small hole where Heaven Crystal had buried itself.
When a few Inaction Realm martial artists attacked together, stones flew everywhere from the wall. Soon, they dug out a hole that was several feet deep.
As the depth increased, the sword qi from Heaven Crystal became even stronger.
"We have to hurry."
"Have two people go outside to scout. Don't let anyone come here."
When the hole was thirty-two feet deep, the wall suddenly collapsed, destroying most of their work. One of the men became so frustrated that he became incredibly gloomy. He quickly turned his head around to give some orders.
"Alright!"
Two young Inaction Realm martial artists quickly dashed out of the col and passed by the place where Happy had buried himself to head to the cedar forest.
Thud!
Thud!
Sword qi, earth, and stones flew everywhere in the col. The group of elites did not care about the depletion of their qi but just dug at the collapsed wall madly. The blinding sword qi from Heaven Crystal finally shot out from the earth and stones.
"Found it!"
The group was overjoyed.
They surrounded the huge pit where the sword handle of the divine weapon could be seen, but they were not in a hurry to get the sword.
"The sect master mentioned that when a divine weapon is repaired, it will possess a fierce nature that will make it brutal and injure people. We have to hide the light from the divine weapon as well. Use Sword Concealing Casket to hide it."
One disciple quickly brought out a long, narrow, and black sword casket from the pit. When Happy saw the heavy object, he knew that the materials used to make it were definitely extraordinary.
Whoosh!
A person brought out a Recondite Steel Hook and bound the sword handle.
He exerted force.
Whoosh!
The light grew brighter when Heaven Crystal came out of the ground. It shot straight into the sky.
But before the light from the divine weapon could break through the heavens, the person accurately threw it into the sword casket, and the lid was shut with a thud.
He was done in one breath, and the light from the divine weapon was immediately hidden.
*****
"Ding!"
At the moment the dazzling sword light from Heaven Crystal came out of the ground, Happy's gaze became heated. He also heard the clear and pleasant sound from the system in his head.
"Will you kill all Sword Sect disciples in the area and seize Heaven Crystal?
"If you successfully seize Heaven Crystal without leaving a single person alive, you will obtain Ruthless Heaven Crystal. If you fail in killing all of them, you will be chased down by Sword Sect every day you carry Heaven Crystal with you."
Happy fell silent.
He had wanted to take action, but when he heard the system notification, he immediately felt a chill crawl down his spine, and he frowned. He was suddenly a little hesitant.
But the hesitation only lasted for an instant before Happy gritted his teeth and shot out of the snow pile.
"Who is it?!"
No matter what, the people in the col were Inaction Realm martial artists. When they heard the movements outside, they became alert all at once. They turned around and drew their longswords. A ghastly chill came crashing into Happy's face.
He resolutely appeared in front of the group of people and surveyed the seven Sword Sect martial artists in front of him, but he showed no sign of fear. He voiced his intentions with a cold tone. "Leave Heaven Crystal behind, and I will spare you."
"You're thinking of killing us with your skills?"
When they saw that the person who showed up was a young man whose qi realm did not seem high, the people from Sword Sect relaxed their guard, and cold expressions appeared on their faces.
"I'm enough."
After saying those words, Happy tapped against the ground and rushed to the area before him with an indomitable spirit.
"How arrogant! But you're up against the wrong foes. Remember the person who killed you. I am Luo Batian of Sword Sect!" A ghastly sword qi shot out from the group, and a black figure came before Happy at a speed that did not lose to his.
Whine!
His longsword shuddered.
The second swift palm strike from Happy struck Luo Batian's arm at lightning speed. The roar of the dragon sounded nonstop, and it struck Luo Batian's chest even faster than before.
The mighty Inaction Realm martial artist did not manage to last even a few blows from Happy. He was struck repeatedly at the chest, and the blows shocked him so much that he coughed up blood and was sent flying away.
"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
When the group of Sword Sect martial artists saw Luo Batian being sent flying back right when they crossed blows, shock appeared on their faces.
Happy said nothing, and his momentum did not decrease!
In the face of the six people's sword glares, he circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill. His robes instantly puffed up before they were torn. With a loud rip, the tight-fitting snow-white clothes were torn, and the pieces flew everywhere to reveal the nearly perfect Golden Armor underneath. Happy activated Golden Bell Cocoon, and the dazzling light instantly blinded the group's eyes.
