Chapter 1186 - Pyramid, Danger

When viewed from the outside, the pyramid was less than one hundred feet tall, and it was not very wide either.

But when he truly entered the pyramid, Happy found it was as if he had entered another world. A huge wall was located inside, and it was more than 328 feet wide, and nearly 328 feet tall. It was entirely emptied, and the space was not narrow at all.

At the center of the pyramid was a huge platform that looked like an armor. The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance was still in his black armor. He stood at the bottom of the pyramid with a long and golden saber that had a strange shape. Even so, he still gave off the feeling that he was looking down on the world.

“Hmph!”

With a cold huff, he swung Tiger Soul skyward, and a tiger-shaped saber glare charged at him.

Happy felt as if the air in the area had been instantly sucked away. An invisible air pressure enveloped him from all directions. He felt as if his body had been targeted by a qi wave filled with the power of the world. His body could not move.

The snow-white saber glare charged past him.

“Careful!”

There were still five people in the pyramid.

They were Dongfang Bubai, Evil King, Empress Yin, as well as Wan Wan and Hou Xibai, who had entered the pyramid ahead of Happy. They were all injured, and they were suppressed at a corner of the pyramid. They seem to be in bad shape.

The group had clearly guessed that Happy would arrive when Wan Wan and Hou Xibai entered the pyramid. Almost at the moment the alliance master attacked, they shouted a warning at the same time.

They might have been quick in their warning, but the saber glare was even faster. It flashed past Happy and cut him in half.

However, even though Happy had been split in half, the two halves of his body were quickly reduced to countless pieces because of the shock from the saber glare, and they soon disappeared. Happy’s body appeared at a spot three feet away. There was a solemn look in his eyes. He slowly landed on the altar.

A clear and confident laughter rang through the air in the pyramid.

“Alliance Master, you’re so hospitable and friendly. Right when we met, you already gave me such a warm welcome!”

“Hmph!”

The alliance master stood at the center of the altar. Since his face was covered by the mask, no one could detect any changes on his face. But his cold gaze put pressure on others. The snort he let out through his nostrils charged at Happy violently. “Ignorant child, you’re not qualified for me to serve as your host.”

Before his voice landed, a snow-white sword force suddenly descended from the sky. An astonishing sword will charged down with a might that was not at all weaker than the alliance master’s full-powered strike struck at the altar.

“Hmm?”

The alliance master’s gaze changed under the mask. It was as if he did not dare believe that this attack came from a youngster who had a low qi realm.

He could not believe that Happy’s full-powered strike would be much stronger than it was in the past. And…

The sword will contained a power that could threaten him.

Boom!

Under Dongfang Bubai, Evil King, Empress Yin, Wan Wan, and Hou Xibai’s stunned and delighted gazes, the sword force that was several feet wide shot down and instantly covered the entire altar.

The entire space in the pyramid seemed to have been struck by a powerful impact. It shook.

The altar shuddered madly.

The entire tower swayed violently.

Fortunately, the inside of the pyramid was made of a rather special and incredibly sturdy material. The situation where dust flew all over the place and the pyramid seemed like it was about to crumble did not appear, which it had just moments ago when they were outside.

After that brief tremor, a deep sword mark that was several feet long and was a terrifying sight to behold appeared on the altar.

The only thing that was different was that the swordsman in black armor, who also happened to be the alliance master, had moved off the altar. Great disbelief appeared in his eyes. He stared at Happy while he stood firmly on the altar. His tone was grave.

“Heaven Crystal!

“I didn’t expect that you are the one who is in possession of Heaven Crystal. It’s no wonder why it managed to release such powerful strength.”

He recovered from his instantaneous shock. The alliance master’s gaze became as calm as water once more. He cast an indifferent glance at the deep sword mark that stretched from the altar to him. “In truth, your performance is making me really regard you in a whole new light now.”

“…”

Happy ignored the alliance master’s murderous words. From the moment he landed on the altar, he kept his eyes fixed on the man’s Tiger Soul.

Tiger Soul was entirely golden in color, and in it was a savage and terrifying spine! The spine was more than ten feet long, and it was sealed in a crystal in the blade. A crystalline light shone all over thea blade, and it was not hidden in the slightest, causing Tiger Soul’s savage and domineering spirit to be perfectly shown.

The alliance master held Tiger Soul. A saber will much stronger and fierce than Heaven Crystal came charging at Happy to suppress him. It was like a huge and fierce white tiger. It appeared faintly behind the alliance master, and as it roamed in the air above Happy, it opened its mouth in a savage manner.

The alliance master was enveloped by Tiger Soul’s aura. His own aura in the dao of heaven filled every corner of the pyramid, and he looked as if he had complete control over the entire area. If Happy took one wrong step, he might have to face the most fatal and dangerous attack.

When he saw this, Happy’s heart shuddered a little.

‘As expected of the fiercest weapon in the world! It’s seriously domineering and evil!’

“Young Master Happy.”

Evil King, Empress Yin, Dongfang Bubai, Wan Wan, and Hou Xibai took the chance to appear behind Happy.

It was only at that moment that Happy had the chance to check these five people’s conditions.

When he swept his gaze over at them, he frowned.

Dongfang Bubai was among the group who were the first to enter the pyramid. At that moment, his beautiful makeup was completely gone. There was a gash that was several inches deep on his waist, and it looked very dangerous. As of right now, there was only a brutal and sinister look on his face. He stared at the alliance master with a savage look while the man remained under the altar. He looked as if he wanted to devour the man whole.

He was among the three strongest in the dao of heaven, among the first to begin fighting against the alliance, and the only one who could still fight against him. His Needle Tide must have been able to play a very important role in the special environment in the pyramid!

Evil King and Empress Yin were in worse shape.

Evil King’s white hair spilled all over his shoulders, and his brow was furrowed. A sheen of sweat covered his forehead, and he looked as if he had aged by ten years all of a sudden.

Evil King supported Empress Yin. She seemed to have had her chest and stomach cut through by one single slash. She could no longer continue to fight. Wan Wan and Hou Xibai followed behind them with great difficulty. As they looked at the alliance master, their eyes were full of fear and respect. His strength was way above what they could possibly reach.

“Are you alright?” Happy asked softly.

Evil King chuckled wanly.

“Empress Yin will not be able to continue fighting for the time being, and Dongfang Bubai won’t be able to last too long. I think we’re the only ones who can hold on for a little while.

“Hmph, you’re already at the end of your ropes, and yet, you still struggle…” The alliance was stunned by Happy’s slash just now, and when he registered the situation, he saw the group walking toward him. He did not become angry, but instead, he laughed. He slowly lifted Tiger Soul, and the aggressive pressure about him instantly became stronger.

Whine!

Under Tiger Soul’s mighty pressure, Happy took a step forward, as if he sensed nothing. His Heaven Crystal let out a long whine.

The ripples formed by the continuous vibrations on the sword spread out, and it caused the frozen air around them to slowly unfreeze, allowing them to be able to breathe.

“Die!”

The alliance master’s eyes flashed, and he quickly vanished from the altar.

“Careful!”

Even though Happy instantly lost track of the alliance master because he was under the influence of the power from the dao of heaven, it was impossible for the alliance master to be able to deceive the other people in the dao of heaven.

Evil King locked down on the alliance master’s movement trajectory, and he turned around without hesitation, indirectly providing a signal to Happy.

Happy had always been a meticulous person.

When he noticed Evil King and Dongfang Bubai turning around, he swung his sword, and a sword force that had Heaven Crystal’s sword will fused in it was flung out fiercely.

Boom!

An angry shout that rang through the world filled the air. A tiger’s soul took form, and a snow-white tiger-shaped saber glare showed up to Happy’s left.

The two people in the dao of heaven attacked together with Happy’s sword will, and they viciously tore apart the alliance master’s saber glare.

An embroidery needle charged down the path the saber glare took when it manifested.

“A mere child’s play!”

An incredibly scornful snort rose in the air. Dongfang Bubai shuddered. His embroidery needle came back at an even faster speed, and it went straight into his sleeve.

Dongfang Bubai seemed to have suffered a setback. He spun around, and a red, bloody trail flowed down his arm and dripped out of his sleeve.

He was already injured, and now, he had more wounds, but Dongfang Bubai never showed any fear. He looked as if he was not the one who was injured. Instead, he just stared at an empty spot in the air while his eyes shone coldly.

Whoosh!

The alliance master slowly appeared in the air. He had a teasing smile on his face, as if he was a cat playing with mice. “Bi Xuan, Ye Gucheng, Empress Yin, and that girl were all kicked out of the battlefield after they sustained heavy injuries. You’re the only two left, and how long do you think you can last?”

His words caused the group to have their expressions stiffen.

But Happy did not pay too much attention to the alliance master’s words.

Even though Heaven Crystal’s sword will had been brought out on its own, Happy still had two trump cards he had never used before anyone else.

One of them was the Dragon Swings Its Tail, and the other was Heaven Crystal’s Sword Qi! There was no need for him to even mention the power in the first move. It was an attack that could let him counter an enemy’s strongest attack, and he could always catch his opponent off guard.

As for the latter…

Even though Happy had never used it in front of others before, if he used it with Full Winds in Long Skies, it would mean his enemy would be attacked by six people in the dao of heaven. Although Happy could only use it once a day, the damage and level of threat brought by this attack was something that even the alliance master could not fully withstand. He could not escape from it unscathed either.

However, right now, Happy did not intend to immediately bring out all his trump cards and fight to the death against the alliance master.

“Ten Thousand Years?”

Thousand-faced Human Fox had followed him to land on the altar. Then, he began to quickly search for all possible signs of mechanisms and traps in the pyramid.

A long time had passed since then. He should have gained some findings.

And just as he expected, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly answered him in the form of a private message, “It’s the altar! There’s something strange about the altar beneath our feet…”

“What’s strange about it?”

“I don’t know, but it seems to be a mechanism. Judging by the indentation, it should be related to Tiger Soul…” Thousand-faced Human discreetly observed the hole on the altar under his feet. “If my guess is correct, if we put Tiger Soul in there, we should be able to activate some form of mechanism.”

“Will it be a trap similar to something like mercury pouring over our heads?”

“We can’t exclude that possibility, but if we don’t try it, we won’t have any other way to go out, and we won’t have a way to get out of the desert palace,” Thousand-faced Human Fox answered tentatively.

They held their conversation in secret, but the alliance master still noticed it.

A powerful killing intent shone in his fierce and cold eyes. “It’s time. I don’t want to waste anymore of my time on you.”

Once he finished speaking, Tiger Soul shone brilliantly in the alliance master’s hands. A fierce and agitated wave of qi accompanied by overlapping saber glares went charging at Happy and the group like a never-ending tidal wave.

For a period of time, the walls around the pyramid suddenly became unsteady, and they started swaying! Ashes also slid down the cracks.

“This is bad!”

“The pyramid is about to collapse!”

The group had their expressions change drastically.
