103 Jade Coral

The fist technique the Stone Giants used was a high-tier martial art Heaven's Secret Fist from Heaven's Secret Valley. Even though their realm was not high, only seventh or so, with the materials used to create the puppets, the Stone Giant itself could be considered as a medium-grade masterpiece. Its combat ability was then naturally raised to a relatively high level. 

The Stone Giant itself also did not have any vital weaknesses. Their resistance to physical attacks was incredibly great. They were very sturdy and could resist many blows, and with the puppet trap arts that increased their movement speed, the overall combat abilities of Stone Giants could be said to have no weaknesses that a player could exploit. There were no strategies that could be deployed against them. 

If anyone wanted to train using Stone Giants, they would have to form a huge party and take turns to fight them one by one!

However, Happy destroyed Phantom Jade's knowledge toward the matter. 

He executed skill after skill, capturing each of the Stone Giant's moves beforehand or dodging them at the most opportune moment. His attacks were steady and firm, and he naturally struck with his saber from a suitable angle! The simple but powerful Hundred-battle Saber let out a pleasant, hoarse whine and cut deep slashes into the Stone Giant's sturdy body. 

Stones flew all over the place!

The moment the Stone Giant turned around to attack, Happy moved slightly and retreated from the radius of its attack. 

Then, when the Stone Giant finished the attack, he moved forward with a gentle motion and struck the puppet before dodging its next attack. Every single one of his moves were connected smoothly!

Because of this, the waist of the pitiful Stone Giant reduced bit by bit as Happy patiently cut at it. The effects of it becoming thinner were incredibly clear. 

Even though it looked very normal and nothing seemed out of place, Happy had not made many mistakes even after a lot of time passed, which shocked Phantom Jade. He could not believe that under the Stone Giant's terrifying speed, this person could catch the trajectory of its attacks. They were so fast they left afterimages, yet he could avoid them in a relaxed manner. 

With the smallest of movements, he maximized the strength of his martial arts. By doing so, not only did he save time, he also reduced danger to a great extent. If this lasted for another day, Phantom Jade shuddered to think what would become of Happy if he practiced his martial arts at this speed!

Phantom Jade's expression was incredibly solemn. He finally understood why his three companions in Blessed Realm were at a disadvantage against this person and why he would train alone in such a dangerous area. 

Phantom Jade was stunned speechless. He sucked in a deep breath while retaining his composure, then lowered his voice and gave a word of caution to his comrade. 

"You must not provoke this sort of person."

With a shocked expression still on his face, the man nodded, because he agreed with Phantom Jade's thoughts. 

Even though he did not observe the situation as deeply as Phantom Jade, the moment they crossed hands, he had sensed the explosive force concealed beneath Happy's calm movements. The oppressive pressure that had exploded from his body still shook his heart, and he could not calm down even after a long time had passed. 

"She's not here, it's a dead end over there!"

The man with the fan rushed back to the main hall hastily. They did not stop moving as he led everyone to charge down another tunnel. 

The group of people could not help but cast a glance at the corner with the Stone Giant when they rushed across the hall. They were not in a particularly good mood. 

If this person had been a little more sensible and told them Red Coral's whereabouts earlier, they would not have to waste so much time looking for her. 

"Young master, once we find Red Coral, why don't we—"

The man who had been rebuked had his back turned toward Happy. He lowered his voice and made a slicing motion across his neck with his finger. 

"We'll talk later!" 

Happy was currently a taboo in the heart of the man with the fan. When he heard this, he scowled impatiently and brought his group to another tunnel. 

Right when the group rushed in there, a blurry figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall, and it swiftly became clear. 

"She's there!"

Phantom Jade and the injured man were at the back of the group. When they sensed movement behind them, they turned their heads around and saw graceful red figure stagger out of a white hoop. Their eyes lit up, and they alerted their group ahead of them in excitement. 　

"Damn it!"

Red Coral's face turned pale. She wanted to rush out, but her movements were affected by her earlier injuries. She staggered and lost her breath. Because of it, she froze on the spot. 

In truth, when she entered the main hall, she had deliberately left behind some blood on the floor, then returned to the entrance to the main hall to log off! She only needed some time to complete this, and she would be safe. She believed that the person in the hall far away from her would not notice her. 

Besides, with her understand toward the cautious nature of the man with the fan, she was sure he would bring all of his men into the tunnels with him…

However, she had not predicted that Happy would hold them back for some time, causing her meticulous calculations to deviate slightly and an error to form. She lost her chance to escape just like that. 

When she saw that the group had noticed her, the effect of the bounty quest dragged her into combat mode, and she could no longer log off safely. When she remembered that the man with the fan had instructed people to stay at the entrance, she fell into despair and drew her weapon without having any hope to survive. 

"Hahahaha…" 

When the man with the fan heard the ruckus, he came back. Upon seeing Red coral, he relaxed. His group surrounded her calmly. 

"Red Coral, as expected of the chief military advisor of Black Rose. You're as cunning as a fox. We've chased after you for almost an entire day, and you nearly escaped from our grasp a few times…" While he spoke, they drew close to her. A few pairs of gazes brazenly looked Red Coral's curvaceous body up and down.

It had to be said that Black Rose lived up to its name as a clan full of beautiful female players. Red Coral looked as if her skin had been submerged in milk. It was fair and radiant. Her eyes were filled with indignation and vexation, but remained stubborn and bright. They had a charm to them, tempting all those who saw her so much that their hearts would race for her. 

"Hmph, if you want to kill me, then spare me the nonsense." Red Coral ignored the group's harassing gazes. There was scorn on her pretty face. "And you call yourself the greatest sect in Jiangnan, Purple Sun Sect?! Don't you have any shame when you call yourselves that? 

"We just botched a few of your operations to steal the tributes, and you became so angry and humiliated that you refused to stop until you destroy us. You even sent a group of people to kill a weak woman… Hmph! Aren't you ashamed?"

The heart of the man with the fan tensed up, and warning bells rang in his mind. 

Before he could warn his group, the men next to him could not help but cast each other a glance and smile. 

"You idiots, this woman is tricking us to tell her the truth!"

But unfortunately, it was already too late…

Once Red Coral finished speaking, she keenly captured the changes in the group's expressions. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and she quickly came to a conclusion. "Looks like you didn't chase after me for those tributes, and neither did you come seeking revenge. Could it be that you came for this?"

The intelligent woman brought out a simple jade slit ring without any decorations from her Universe Bag. She observed it before her gaze focused, and she frowned. A puzzled look appeared on her face. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"I picked this up from your leader. Aside from this, I cannot think of anything that could have made you chase after me so persistently. So, this means that this thing has a certain background to it, hmm? Or perhaps… it has a secret to it?"

Once the man with the fan reminded everyone, they became on guard and kept quiet. 

The man with the fan cast a glance at Red Coral, and his gaze darkened. 

"Since you already know about this, I can't let you live!"

When he said this, he did not notice that the battle at the corner had already ended. Happy stood on top of a pile of shattered rocks with his back straight. He did not immediately pick up his spoils of war, but instead, stared at the jade slit ring Red Coral had lifted up with shock and bewilderment. He frowned, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
