magicChapter 1028  : Just Happened to be There, Stone Plates in Hand

Even though the female trap master had tried her best to set up traps around them, they were just party tricks to Evil King, and they could not stop him at all.

There were more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues around, and they could not leave with the stone plates in hand.

The trio could only watch as Evil King arrived in front of them.

Bang!

Evil King attacked without batting an eyelid. With just one move, the female trap master was instantly struck so violently that she flew into the Arhat Formation. Her body fortification immediately shattered, and she crashed against an Arhat Buddha statue, destroying it before she fell to the ground, and she did not move even after a long time.

The other two said nothing. Their hearts pounded in greater fear, and in a show of great alertness, they split up to run left and right. They held the stone plates tightly while their eyes sparkled as their minds held a fierce battle between whether they should protect their own lives or protect the stone plates.

‘Die!’

Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s ruthless and evil personality had no patience whatsoever in him. When he saw how these two were still hesitant, he immediately snorted and arrived at the back of the person to the left.

That person was shocked.

Before he could reach, a palm pressed down gently against his back, right where his heart was.

Evil King’s Undying Seals was strange and domineering. It was filled with an evil but gentle air, and when he attacked with his hands and legs, he could give off a different kind of gentle aesthetic. When he moved, not a hint of killing intent could be felt.

However, its real damage was the direct opposite of its gentle movements.

Thud!

At the moment the power contained in the palm-generated wind touched his body, it instantly surged into him and ran rampant within him. The force in Undying Seals charged into his organs through his meridian system. The man coughed up blood, and he even coughed up some of the fragments of his organs.

Inaction Realm elites were actually not supposed to be so powerless in front of Evil King, but Shi Zhixuan was too infamous, and his might as well as imposing presence had already been deeply embedded in the people’s hearts, causing the people to subconsciously lose their ability to fight against him. If the player had the chance to block his attack, he would not have lost his life in just one move.

But now, two were dead, and one was injured.

The third stone plate rolled in the dust.

The last person’s face was stark pale. He could only watch helplessly as Evil King Shi Zhixuan chose not to immediately retrieve the third stone plate. Instead, he turned around and headed toward him, because the last stone plate was with him.

In his anger, he gritted his teeth.

This person was not an idiot, at least. When he saw that he was the only one left and that Shi Zhixuan did not show any sign to stop, he immediately shouted in rage, and with all his strength, he pushed his hands together.

His qi filled his arms, and he used his full strength to press down on the stone place in his hands.

Evil King just stared at him with a mocking look. He did not bother stopping him.

In the end, even though the person’s face turned red and his veins popped up on his neck, the stone plate in his hands was still not damaged in the slightest.

Shi Zhixuan said nothing, but his lips curled up into a scornful sneer.

When he saw this, the player was instantly frustrated.

“You want it?! Well, I’m not giving it to you!” he shouted, and while he retreated, he suddenly exerted force in his hands and tossed the stone plate high above into the air in the direction of the Buddha statues.

Whoosh!

The stone plate flew out with a loud whistle.

‘I’d like to see what you can do.’

When the man threw the stone plate among the thousand Buddha statues, the thought that he had just vented his rage rose in his him, but when he turned his head around, he felt pain in his neck, and his head was then twisted one hundred and eighty degrees in a bizarre fashion. He looked into a pair of livid eyes burning with ice cold rage, and in the next second, his consciousness swiftly faded away.

Evil King had finally attacked.

Once this man vented his anger by throwing the stone plate, he finally flew into a rage, and he snapped the man’s neck without hesitation.

Bang!

The man’s corpse fell on the floor limp.

“Hmph.”

When Evil King pulled his hand back to retrieve the stone plate on the floor, his pupils suddenly shrank, because the stone plate on the floor was suddenly sucked to another direction by a force that appeared out of nowhere.

Slap!

Someone shot out of the Arhat Formation, and a young and powerful palm grabbed the stone plate before the person landed on the ground. His movements were done in one breath.

Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s expression turned dark once more.

The first surprise he encountered was when the man just now had recklessly thrown the stone plate out of the Arhat Formation, and he had to spend time rushing into the formation to search for it later.

Right now, the third stone plate had been snatched away by a person who charged into the Arhat Formation by surprise. Things had not been going his way, and it caused the desire for cruelty in Shi Zhixuan to grow even stronger. A dark killing intent spilled out of him even more prominently than before.

“Hand over the stone plate, and I’ll let you die in one piece!”

Evil King stared at the man in front of him with a fierce look. This person was someone he had met once in the Arhat Formation.

“As expected of the strongest in the evil cult. You are indeed mighty and domineering, Evil King.”

This person was Happy, who had quickly recovered to the peak of his condition with Fire Qilin Blood. Even that Grieving Needle had also been forced out of his chest, and he was even stronger than before.

,167 qi points!

He had now reached his peak.

With Happy’s current strength, he did not feel diffident even when he faced Evil King!

However, Happy was more concerned about the stone plate in his hand.

At the moment the stone plate fell into his grasp, a system notification immediately rang in his mind.

“Obtained one of the four stone plates left behind by an ancient divine monk in Dafo Temple. If you understand the profound message in it, you can understand the four ultimate techniques left behind by the ancient divine monk.”

‘There’s something so good lying around?!’

Happy had also heard about how there was an ancient divine monk in Dafo Temple before, but because it had sounded too amazing to be true, he never paid too much attention to it. He did not expect that he would see something rather interesting after he escaped from death—one of the ultimate techniques the ancient divine monk left behind!

Happy’s blood surged madly!

Even if he was threatened by the strongest person in the evil cult, Happy would not hand over this treasure he gained entirely by accident.

Besides, once Happy admired the stone plate in his hands, his eyes lit up, and he was deeply attracted by the two stone plates in Shi Zhixuan’s hands. “Senior Shi, why don’t I take the two stone plates from your hands as well?”

These were ultimate techniques left behind by a divine monk who was One with the World, and even Happy could not help but feel desire for them. He noticed that he had intruded upon a great quest and ran into a rare chance. Naturally, he could not help but have his emotions surge, and he wanted to get all of the divine monk’s ultimate techniques.

Shi Zhixuan said nothing at first. He just raised his chin in a mocking manner. “You want these two stone plates in my hands?”

“If you don’t mind.” It was only then that Happy noticed he might have been a little too naive.

This man was Evil King.

Even if he used his full strength to fight against him, he would still be considered very lucky to be able to escape from Evil King unscathed, and here he was, in a moment of impulse, he had actually wanted to snatch those two stone plates from Evil King?

The atmosphere in the Arhat Formation instantly became strange.

Evil King Shi Zhixuan looked dumbfounded, before a cold smile bloomed on his face as he stared at Happy, who had a strange expression on his face.

“I mind. A lot. I’ve made up my mind now. When I retrieve the stone plate from your corpse, I will hang your corpse at the entrance of Dafo Temple.”

“That’ll be my pleasure.”

Happy had already snapped out of his conceited daydream in an instant, and he was certain that it would already be very impressive of him to be able to keep even one. Once he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and activated Wave-like Subtle Steps without hesitation to rush into the Arhat Formation.

Evil King laughed contemptuously while he stared at Happy’s back as he rushed into the formation.

And just as Evil King expected, cries of surprise rose.

Happy was quickly attacked by quite a lot of Arhat Buddha statues during his journey outside. Powerful attacks at the level of those at the beginning stage of Myth Realm locked down the entire area ahead of Happy.

“What the heck?!”

Happy quickly recovered from the shocking change.

Boom!

He activated Indestructible Body.

Petite Dragon!

Happy squeezed through the gaps of three Arhat Buddha statues like a slippery eel.

But this good condition did not last long.

There were multiple Arhat Buddha statues along the way, and their numbers just kept growing.

Evil King stood in the formation and watched Happy descending into an increasingly dangerous situation while he himself remained relaxed. His gaze was dark and cold, as if he could already see the scene of Happy being pummeled by those Arhat Buddha statues.

But Evil King’s confident smile, as if he had everything in his control, soon vanished.

As Happy faced eight Arhat Buddha statues’ attacks, a thick true origin aura rose from the Arhat Formation ahead of Evil King.

Then, a howling black sword glare instantly tore down quite a number of Arhat Buddha statues around it.

Rumble...

Shattered stones scattered on the ground.

A shocked expression he could not suppress finally showed up on Shi Zhixuan’s face.

This person, who was as insignificant as an ant, had not only survived under the Arhat Buddha statues’ offense, he had also cut down the Arhat Buddha statues around him with a slash before he instantly traveled more than one hundred feet forward.

Wherever he went, none of the Arhat Buddha statues could stop him.

“Interesting.”

Evil King’s expression finally turned completely dark.

With a cold snort, he vanished from the spot like a phantom.

The Arhat Buddha statues continued turning and moving around in the Arhat Formation, and they quickly stopped in front of Evil King to block his path.

But Evil King’s offense was even faster.

Before these Arhat Buddha statues could attack him, his Undying Seals had already easily destroyed these Arhat Buddha statues. He ventured deep into the Arhat Formation, as if there was nothing in his path, and he quickly caught up to Happy.

“Leave the stone plate behind, and I’ll spare you.”

Shi Zhixuan’s expression turned graver while he chased behind Happy. because he could clearly see that while Happy was just a Moksha Realm martial artist, his strength was incredibly shocking. Not only was his sword technique extraordinary, his offense was also timely. His breathing was also long, and while his attacks were not as fast as Shi Zhixuan’s, it was already very shocking. With this strength, even Shi Zhixuan could declare with certainty that he could kill him within a short period of time.

But his words were produced as much of an effect as hoping a stone thrown into an ocean could produce a wave. The person in front of him not only did not answer him, he even charged forward even faster.

Shi Zhixuan’s expression turned even more unpleasant.

*****

‘This is bad.’

While Happy charged forward to open the path, he grumbled in his heart.

The pressure he faced when he faced the extraordinary Arhat Buddha statues was already great, and if Evil King caught up to him, it was practically impossible for him to safely leave with the stone plate.

It was difficult for him to run into such a rare chance. If Evil King snatched the stone plate, Happy would naturally find himself unable to accept the situation. His mind raced to think of a way for him to swiftly get out of the situation.

In the next moment, Happy grabbed a hidden weapon at the level of a demon vessel.

It was the hair stick he obtained while he was at the treasure house in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. If he wanted to leave Dafo Temple with the stone plate, it would be worthy to use this demon-vessel-grade hidden weapon, which was worth cities, and it was still worth it for Happy to use this thing even if he could only hold back Evil King for a while.

To him, right now, if he could hold back Shi Zhixuan for a while, it was still a while. As long as he did not have to face Shi Zhixuan in the Arhat Formation and leave it, everything else would be easy to do.

This time, he might not have gained the breakthrough and epiphany he expected while he was at the throes of death when he came to Dafo Temple, but it was already pretty good that he could get an ultimate technique left behind by an ancient divine monk in Dafo Temple.

He had to fight with everything he had for the stone plate in his bosom.
