Chapter 1041  : “What’s This Saber Technique?!”

Dream Clouds stood at the roof on the street outside the headquarters while she looked down, and she could easily see some part of the situation transpiring in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters clearly.

There were a few outstanding elites among the two hundred top-class elites, and these people received personal commands from Dream Clouds.

Among them was Shi Huasheng, who was the elite who had the orthodox Buddhist’s Lion’s Roar, Soaring Clouds Sword Xie Lingyun, and Heaven Shaker Legs Luo Jing.

These three people were incredibly powerful.

There was no need to even mention Shi Huasheng. He was skilled in a rare ultimate technique that utilized sound as his attack. He could easily fight against Wind Chimes and even use his sound waves to fight against any enemy going up against him.

Xie Lingyun’s sword technique was incredibly fierce. He had a sword technique at Inaction Realm, and he attacked at a speed and ferocity that was rarely seen. He could deliver the most fatal and brutal attack to his enemy within the shortest amount of time.

The last was Luo Jing. Even though he had no rank on the Chinese ranking board for the powerful, he had already perfected his control over his hidden force. No one in Class One Hall and the twelve sects could be better than him, and he was the type who could accidentally pierce through the heavens with just an attack, which was why he gained the name, Heaven Shaker Legs Luo.

Among the three, one could create a chance in a full frontal assault and suppress his enemies, one could create chances in the dark and take others by surprise, and one had extraordinary sword technique and was a swordsman who was only second to One Emperor when it came to how threatening he was.

When these three formed a party, even if Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow personally led a few top-class elites over, it would not be easy for her to kill them.

These three were one of the trump cards Dream Clouds had in her first wave of charging into the camp.

While they helped with the offense, they could receive Dream Clouds instructions at any moment, which meant that last time, when Dream Clouds remained outside the battlefield, she would be too far to help. Usually, she had to personally head into the battlefield and carry out a major operation. But now, she only needed to send a private message, and these three could help her carry out her plans so that she would not miss an opportunity when she saw it.

Killing Wind Chimes was the first order Dream Clouds gave to the trio.

As long as they killed Wind Chimes, they would not need to be afraid of Wandering Know-it-all, regardless of his transcendent status in the game, because he was just a physically weak scholar and diviner when there was no one who would listen to his instructions.

Once Wind Chimes died, a part of the Iron Triangle Alliance would fall!

When she saw the trio bring another three people to charge to the roof across her effortlessly, Dream Clouds had a sincere smile bloom on her face.

Demonic Zither Wind Chimes would become history from today onwards.

However, at that moment, for some unknown reason, Dream Clouds felt a sense of unease from how calm the group of elites guarding Wind Chimes remained.

The group of people protecting Wind Chimes were all from Wind Assault Tower.

However, when Xie Lingyun and the rest aggressively made their way up to the roof, the hundred something people standing on the roof not only did not take the initiative to attack, their lineup did not even change.

What puzzled Dream Clouds even more was that Wind Chimes, who had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, did not seem to have seen the assassins. She continued to play her zither to help Wu Kuo and the rest. She did not seem to want to leave to a safe place.

Dream Clouds said nothing, and the unease in her heart slowly expanded.

However, she was still completely confident in Xie Lingyun, Shi Huasheng, and Luo Jing, because she personally commanded them. As long as these three people were together, who else in the world could kill them aside from One Emperor and Evil Emperor?

Dream Clouds kept her eyes fixed on the roof. When the six people rushed into the group of guards, Shi Huasheng used his Lion’s Roar to provide cover. When tiles that filled the air charged to Wind Chimes, Dream Clouds felt at ease, because she thought that the results of the battle were now set in stone.

Just when Dream Clouds felt her heart calm down and she had satisfaction and delight appear on her face, an accident happened!

The air above Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was the most chaotic place right now. Many of the guards were thrown into disorder and were at a loss because of Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng working together, but at that moment, a heavy sound accompanied by a mighty black sword glare abruptly rose up from the tiles that filled the air.

Boom!

A heavy sound rose. The sword force Xie Lingyun sent at Wind Chimes instantly crumbled like a piece of tofu. Xie Lingyun coughed up blood, and he flew off the roof with his sword, ramming through countless tiles in the process.

The situation on the ground was already very chaotic since the start.

The Wind Assault Tower members did not have time to pay attention to the situation on the ground, because they had to face the pressure brought to them by the group of top-class elites. When they suddenly heard wind rise behind them, they quickly moved away from their spots.

Bang!

When they saw that Xie Lingyun flew down from the roof, the Wind Assault Tower members nearby all put on delighted expressions, and a large number of people instinctively attacked him.

However, when their weapons touched him, the person on the ground did not react in the slightest.

“He’s dead!”

“He’s already dead!”

Those who were observant quickly noticed that Xie Lingyun had actually died while he was falling from the roof.

Even though they did not know who killed him, they still could not imagine just how someone could kill a top-class elite with supreme grade equipment in such a short amount of time, because it had only been a moment since Xie Lingyun rushed to the roof before he was struck down.

Even if they were in a very tense situation right now, there were still people who were unable to help themselves but turn over Xie Lingyun’s corpse.

In the end, when his corpse was turned over to lie on his back, many people saw him, and they could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

“What’s this saber technique?!”

A terrifying and large gash could be seen from Xie Lingyun’s shoulder to his stomach. That one slash was enough to reduce him into a bloody mess, as if he had been cut a few times intensely by someone... but the wound did not seem to be left behind by a saber...

The tiles that filled the roof had already landed. Now, the roof looked as if it had been baptized by a tornado. Only a bare and huge beam was left. There were seven people who occupied one side of the beam, and none of them fell.

When Shi Huasheng, and his group looked down and saw the corpse in the crowd under the roof, their expressions changed.

“Brother Lingyun!”

Xie Lingyun had already died.

They could not believe their eyes!

Shi Huasheng and Luo Jing, especially, thought that they were dreaming.

The three of them had been working together for quite some time. Just now, the Lion’s Roar had practically caused all the people on the roof to freeze for a moment while their qi and blood surged. It was impossible for them to react to his attack in time and accurately.

The hidden force that came out from Luo Jing also overturned all the tiles on the roof, creating the best situation for Xie Lingyun to kill Wind Chimes.

They had clearly seen Xie Lingyun attack without fail. His sword tip had already reached the area three feet from Wind Chimes. Hence, they did not expect that everything would change within an instant.

Whoosh!

They were only shocked and dazed for a moment before all five of the people in the Class One Hall party trained their eyes on the man and woman on the beam.

The woman was naturally Wind Chimes.

She stood at the center of the five people like a pillar, and she looked like someone with a great responsibility on her shoulders. She had one hand around her zither, and the other hand was fixed on the zither strings. She scrutinized these five people with a grave gaze.

As for the man, while his face was incredibly unfamiliar and he wore the uniform of a normal guard, the heavy and black sword in his hand caused the five people on the roof to have their pupils shrink at the same time.

“Happy!”

Luo Jing’s expression was unpleasant. He exposed the mysterious elite through gnashed teeth and an exasperated expression.

Happy did not continue hiding his identity. He tore off his human skin mask right in front of these five people without hesitation.

At the same time he showed his face, Happy cast a deep and profound glance at the roof of the building across the street. It was the building right opposite Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. Then, his gaze returned to Luo Jing’s face. “I didn’t expect that Class One Hall would have an elite who’s pretty decent in hidden forces. Your kick technique is outstanding, and your mastery over hidden force is rather good. The only unfortunate thing is that you had too many enemies just now, and your power was far too scattered among the tiles, or else, it would have been difficult for me to seize such a good chance and kill that swordsman in just one strike.”

Luo Jing’s expression turned dark, though he said nothing.

Happy had disappeared without a trace since half a month ago. No matter how much the world laughed and mocked him, he never showed up, causing many people to have almost forgotten about this top-class elite who had been famous for a period of time.

They had been certain that they could kill Wind Chimes in their attack, but since Wind Chimes had such a powerful bodyguard hidden beside her and used a human skin mask to deceive everyone, their assassination ended in failure.

It was impossible that these five people did not know about Happy’s fame. Even Wild Wolves had suffered a setback in Happy’s hands, and Xie Lingyun had also died instantly right before their eyes. Hence, there was no way they would not be filled with fear. Their breathing became much heavier while they stared solemnly at Happy and Wind Chimes, who stood behind him.

“Alright, Wind Chimes, help me control those two,” Happy said to Wind Chimes and pointed his sword at Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng.

In truth, there was no need for him to waste his breath in talking to them. He had actually spent some time to exchange these meaningless words with them because he had Wind Chimes by his side.

He needed to give some time to the people below him to react and rebuild the defense line to protect Wind Chimes. At the same time, he needed to give himself time to recover the qi he used when he executed Full Winds in Long Skies. Also, if he wanted to use Full Winds in Long Skies to instantly kill a top-class elite just like what he did just now, he would need to buy thirty seconds for himself.

“If it’s just those two, sure.” Wind Chimes was already incredibly anxious when she saw the endless stream of Class One Hall members getting closer to Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters from the back. The top-class elites from the enemy had also suppressed Wind Assault Tower to the point that they were already close to the roof. When she heard Happy’s orders, her petite fingers tugged and released the zither strings in a familiar motion.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fierce sound blades tore through the air along with the zither sounds. They quickly rushed at Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng.

“Retreat!”

Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng did not have any thought about fighting against Happy.

Once they saw that Xie Lingyun died, they knew that their tight teamwork had been broken, and the two had already made preparations to leave. Happy’s strength had always been incredibly terrifying, and with Demonic Zither around to help him, her attacks, which could travel everywhere and Happy’s offense could elevate them to a completely new level.

Dream Clouds saw Happy appear while she was in the distance, watching the situation. Her expression turned a little dark, and at that moment, she gave those two an order and told them to temporarily retreat and protect themselves.

Unfortunately, at the moment Wind Chimes’ sound blades shot out, Happy had already activated Wave-like Subtle Steps to charge over.

Happy’s first target was Lion’s Roar Shi Huasheng. When he attacked, he moved like lightning. Shi Huasheng was also blocked by the people in Wind Assault Tower, so Happy could easily catch up to him with his lightness skill.

“Get lost!”

Shi Huasheng turned his head around to shout.

But Happy’s figure vanished because of his Lion’s Roar. Instead, he appeared in front of Shi Huasheng like a phantom and executed Dragon Capture with one hand.

His sword rammed against Shi Huasheng, and he coughed up blood violently before he fell against the ground violently. He landed among a group of Wind Assault Tower members, who were already ready with their weapons, and in an instant, he was dismembered.
