Crack!

As time passed, the first divine weapon from Great Sky Force Formation was finally destroyed.

Evil King and Empress Yin saw that a large number of the Myth Realm elites Osaya and the other two had been protecting were killed. Only around ten of them were left, and their advantage had been largely diminished. They knew that it was meaningless to continue delaying things. With one serving as the main fighting power and the other as the support, they finally destroyed the first divine weapon.

Once the divine weapon was destroyed, the hall started moaning.

The other divine weapons seemed to have received some sort of signal. They suddenly withdrew simultaneously before they shot quickly to the air high up in the hall.

The group was delighted.

But at that moment, the old zither player who had displayed extraordinary abilities shouted in anger, “Where do you think you’re going?!”

Thousands of sound blades that gained substantial form suddenly moved above seven divine weapons in the hall and stopped them.

Rustle…

Like a tidal wave, the sound blades started crashing against the seven divine weapons in an endless wave.

Crack!

Another clear moan rose.

Another divine weapon was destroyed.

The second divine weapon shattered because it could endure the heavy and frenzied beating by the thousands of sound blades. As if it lost its sentience, it fell from the air, and its fragments scattered all over the floor.

“A pity.”

“You’re still thinking of leaving?”

At the same time the old zither player broke the divine weapon, Dongfang Bubai attacked as well. Several embroidery needles flew out to tug at a divine weapon that was at the rear of the group. He pulled his hands back, and the divine weapon let out a moan as it flew back. Dongfang Bubai seized it firmly in his hands.

Crack!

The sturdy divine weapon shattered at the moment it landed in Dongfang Bubai’s hands. If there was anyone beside Dongfang Bubai right then, they would have definitely been able to see clearly that the divine weapon was already covered in fifty rather large cracks before it shattered.

The third divine weapon was destroyed.

Elites in the dao of heaven were never fond of being suppressed. Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was an arrogant man, and naturally, he was unwilling to be behind the others. At the moment the third divine weapon shattered in Dongfang Bubai’s hands, he attacked seven times with his Recondite Steel Longsword. A thunderous boom rose, and the fragments of the fourth divine weapon shot in all directions in the air. As if to show off his might, at the moment Martial Paragon Bi Xuan landed on the ground, it trembled slightly, and the entire hall seemed to have swayed a little.

He opened his eyes slowly, and the fighting spirit that allowed him to stand supreme to all in the world shot out of his eyes.

The fifth divine weapon shattered in Osaya’s hands.

Since the Holy Fire Orders could not be damaged by Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber, Osaya’s divine weapon must also be extraordinary, or else, it would be impossible for her to keep parrying the blows from the divine weapons and crush one of the divine weapons.

Ye Gucheng did not disappoint as well. The sixth divine weapon was completely destroyed.

Once he used Heavenly Flying Immortal, the divine weapon was destroyed by countless drifting sword wills that moved like immortals. He descended from the air like an immortal descending from the moon, and he gave off an otherworldly presence.

At the moment the divine weapon was destroyed, Ye Gucheng and the other people’s gazes were gathered at Happy.

At this moment, everyone noticed the strength of the white-clad teenager they had been ignoring all this while!

He had managed to remain unharmed despite the small sword formation’s attack and could move about at ease while attacking and defending the swords. Happy’s strength was already revealed.

However, to them, Happy was definitely unable to get rid of the divine weapons.

Of course, that was aside from Evil King.

Evil King had a lasting impression of the power from Happy’s Full Winds in Long Skies and Ten True Dragon Styles. He knew that the boy’s strength was not limited to this.

And just as he expected, under Evil King and Empress Yin’s knowing gazes, when the divine weapons were about to fly back and the last sword was about to break out of formation, it was forcibly pulled into Happy’s hands by an invisible force.

Whoosh!

The Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was incredibly domineering. With an incredibly great momentum, Happy swung down at the divine weapon fiercely and sent it flying.

An attack six times its original strength was completely fused into Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and channeled into his attack. The power in it was so terrifying that it surpassed Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s seven consecutive strikes. The divine weapon tore through the air at a speed that it could fight against and shot in a certain direction in the hall.

It didn’t shatter…

Happy’s attack had surprised the elites in the dao of heaven, but what caused them to gasp in surprise and feel regretful was that Happy had only managed to deliver one powerful strike. It was not enough to destroy one high-grade divine weapon!

Happy might have practiced some powerful killing weapon and wanted to establish his might as well as leave behind a deep impression in the elites in the dao of heaven. Unfortunately, the foundation of his strength was not great enough.

This was the judgment given to Happy by all the elites in the dao of heaven.

However, at the moment the divine weapon shot out, everyone’s expressions changed.

Because the trajectory of the divine weapon clearly pointed to the swordsman in the black armor, who remained watching and never attacked.

He was the only person in the hall who had never taken any action.

The divine weapon traveled very quickly, but the swordsman attacked even faster.

When he noticed the divine weapon attacking him, a bone-chilling cold and derisive look flashed in his eyes behind the mask.

Crack!

Under countless people’s solemn gazes, the swordsman in black armor easily grabbed the slash that contained power surpassing the peak of those at Myth Realm.

He did so with his hands.

The swordsman in black armor just used his hands to grab the divine weapon, and this scene caused all the people in the hall to feel their skins crawl.

This person’s body could resist a divine weapon!

What was even more terrifying was that at the moment the divine weapon came into his grasp, the swordsman in the black armor had just used a small amount of strength, and a clear sound rang in the hall.

The seventh divine weapon shattered.

This scene caused the powerful fighters who were already very shocked to have their hearts tremble.

He had managed to destroy a divine weapon so easily…

And when this was compared to the astonishing methods the other elites in the dao of heaven used, the swordsman in black armor instantly became an incredibly terrifying existence.

As the group of people stared at the swordsman in black armor, their gazes turned solemn, and their eyes sparkled.

But no one noticed that when the divine weapon shattered, the swordsman’s eyes shone briefly in shock and dumbfoundedness under the mask.

If he removed his mask, perhaps the people in the hall would discover something abnormal about him.

But unfortunately, the mask the swordsman wore and the astonishing sight of him breaking the divine weapon caused the people to never notice the change in his gaze.

Aside from Happy and the swordsman in black armor, no one knew the exact reason behind why the divine weapon shattered.

The swordsman in black armor remained in the position where he destroyed the divine weapon for several seconds. His eyes were locked in the direction where Happy was, and the scorn in his eyes gradually disappeared.

He sensed strength from the white-clad teenager, and that strength was not any weaker than those in the dao of heaven.

He had scoffed at the thought of avoiding that sword just now.

But he did not expect that when he grabbed the divine weapon, a powerful hidden force had immediately gushed out of the sword, and he instinctively pressed down on it.

With it, the divine weapon immediately shattered.

It was only at that moment that the swordsman in black armor came to a complete understanding.

Happy was not thinking about using his killing move to show his might and give the swordsman a warning. Instead, he had carefully set up a trap.

Indeed.

When he pressed down on the sword, he had only wanted to get rid of the hidden force in the divine weapon, but he did not expect that he would destroy the final force that was keeping the divine weapon whole.

The divine weapon shattered, and it shattered in his hand.

Due to the scorn in his heart, the swordsman in black armor had jumped willingly into the trap.

Based on the grave and wary gazes from the people around him, the swordsman in black armor knew that the white-clad teenager had already achieved his goal. He had successfully attributed the shattering of the divine weapon to the swordsman, and he had also succeeded in putting the title of someone possessing extraordinary strength on him.

Aside from this, the swordsman in black armor had also offended Martial Paragon Bi Xuan and the mysterious and old zither player who had been keeping a low profile.

These two people had the most subordinates, but just now, after the ten or so attacks from Great Sky Force Formation, they had suffered great casualties, and now, they only had a handful of people left.

Based on the strength they saw when the swordsman in black armor crushed the divine weapon with just one hand, they now believed that he possessed power that could easily destroy the formation, but he had not done so. Instead, he just watched by the sides as their numbers were whittled down by the formation.

Even though these two elites in the dao of heaven would not immediately cause the swordsman trouble because of Happy’s trap, they would definitely not work with him later on. In fact, they would be very willing to cause trouble to the swordsman in black armor.

Of course, Happy had another hidden plan.

At the very least, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan and the old zither player were in a temporary alliance with him, and the swordsman in black armor might want to kill him after witnessing his strength.

Happy had set up the trap just now because he wanted to warn the others in the dao of heaven. He could ensure that once the swordsman in black armor took action, he would have at least two allies by his side.

Seven of the forty-nine divine weapons were shattered, and the power in the remaining forty-two divine weapons was instantly reduced by a large degree.

Seven of the elites in the dao of heaven attacked at the same time, and half of the forty-two divine weapons were soon destroyed.

But Great Sky Force Formation changed very quickly.

As the number of divine weapons were reduced, it immediately made some modifications to its attacks. In the beginning, it sent seven groups of swords to attack them. Later on, it was five, and now, it was two.

More than ten divine weapons worked together to attack them, and their power was still as mighty as ever. They gave off an incredibly tense and stressful atmosphere!

The swordsman in black armor continued watching by the wall. He never moved, but based on the cold glare that shone repeatedly through his eyes, he was no longer as relaxed as he was when he just arrived.

His threats had been these people: Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, whose strength was the closest to him; the old zither player who had just shown his strength; and Evil King as well as Empress Yin, who fought as one. But now, he had another pair of people who appeared to be a great competition to him—Osaya and the white-clad teenager!

But these people were currently staring at him with wary eyes. Naturally, the swordsman in black armor was not in a very good position.

And all of this was caused by Happy!

When he thought of this, killing intent burned in the swordsman’s eyes. He really wanted to personally rip apart that weak white-clad teenager right now.

However, Happy showed good results during his subsequent attacks.

He used Full Winds in Long Skies frequently, and three divine weapons shattered in his hands.

There was one time where Happy had been in danger, because he had actually imitated the swordsman in black armor and grabbed a high-grade divine weapon when the divine weapon brushed past him.

This astonishing sight caused quite a few people to suck in sharp breaths.

But unfortunately, the remaining dozens of divine weapons suddenly gave up on attacking their opponents at the same time, and with astonishing speed, they shot at him from all directions. Their fierce offense nearly killed Happy while he was airborne.

Happy activated Petite Dragon and avoided the attacks before he landed in the crowd. Osaya and the old zither player quickly took over the two groups of sword formations.

‘I seriously can’t take those high-grade divine weapons, huh? What a pity…’

Happy lamented in his heart.

Even so, Happy’s ability in removing himself safely from the divine weapon formation had still caused quite a number of people to look at him in fear.
