Chapter 203: Attack! Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Happy, Red Dust, Thunderous Battle, and Little North as well as his two battered zombie puppets walked into Dead She-wolf’s chamber. A statue that looked like a creature’s arm could be seen to the north, south, east and west of the center of the chamber. There was a hollow in the palms, and a black flint that had already burned out lay there.
The chamber was different to the other parts of Fox Cave in a sense that it was not as noisy and chaotic compared to the outside. There was nothing in the chamber. When they looked at the four stone claw statues shape as palms and the smooth and dim walls, they felt that the chamber was so empty and quiet that it was terrifying.
Happy and his party said nothing.
Aside from Red Dust, it was the first time the others had entered Dead She-wolf’s chamber, and they were very nervous! They held their breaths and did not even dare to breathe loudly as they listened to their surroundings with their ears perked in hopes that they could sense where the mini hidden Boss was.
To them, it was a rare but dangerous encounter!
Red Dust thought in a similar manner, but for different reasons. It was the first time he entered the chamber in Fox Cave with so few people by his side.
To a large guild, even if Dead She-wolf was in Life and Death Realm, she was not terrifying. Her strongest point was that she was as elusive as a ghost, and there was no way that they could discover her location. However, if the members of the raid could coordinate with each other well, had decent equipment, and high-tier body fortification techniques, they could certainly kill her.
In the past, nearly hundreds of people would attack together. They would rely on the absolute advantage in numbers and teamwork to whittle down her HP which sacrificing countless lives and medicinal pills.
But unfortunately, right then, there were only four of them, along with two Blessed Realm puppets. They did have an advantage, but it was not great.
At the very least, Red Dust did not have any sort of confidence. He did not know how the four of them were going to handle Dead She-wolf, limit her moving range, nor make sure that their own HP could last them throughout the fight.
But when he compared the party members’ reactions to his own, he became curious as to why Little North, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and Thunderous Battle had such great expectations toward Happy!
In truth though, Happy was the main reason why Red Dust had decided to follow them into the chamber.
When they entered, Happy sucked in a breath, held it, and swiftly rushed forward to overtake the group. He arrived inside the chamber, and a faint golden light flowed out of his body. It swiftly covered him, making it look as if he had been dyed golden.
Golden Bell Cocoon was activated.
A weak wave of aura also surged out of Happy’s body!
Qi realm activated!
A light crease appeared between Red Dust’s eyebrows. He quickly caught up to Happy and also activated his body fortification technique and qi realm. His momentum did not lose to Happy’s, and in fact, he showed signs that he was about to overtake him.
Happy sighed in his heart. ‘Mystical Realm players are indeed different.’
Even though Red Dust’s body fortification technique was slightly lower that Happy’s, and its quality was also lower, it had a boost from his higher qi realm, and his defensive abilities were not much lower than Happy’s. As expected, he needed to increase his qi realm as soon as possible!
But he did not know that Red Dust had a different thought in his mind while he was beside Happy.
He had originally thought that Happy would take the initiative to ask for them to switch places so Red Dust would be first to withstand Dead She-wolf’s attacks because of the advantage he had for being in Mystical Realm. However, once he activated his qi, the strength of his body fortification technique still did not seem to be as strong as Happy’s.
Golden Bell Cocoon had enveloped Happy to the point that he looked like an indestructible golden person, while Red Dust was continuously using up his qi. He needed to restore his qi by eating medicinal pills nonstop to maintain his body fortification technique. The difference between their defenses could be seen with just one glance.
“Where did you learn your body fortification technique? It seems really domineering!” Red Dust could not hold himself back.
With his lips curled up, Happy was just about to speak when his ears suddenly twitched. He noticed that there was an abnormal fluctuation in the air around him, and he fell silent. A black shell was swiftly placed on his right arm.
Boom!
Under Red Dust’s astonished gaze, the item in Happy’s arm caused a faint rumble that could make hearts tremble. When Red Dust focused his attention, he saw that an incredibly strong black light surrounded Happy’s arm. Once it faded away, an arm that exuded the presence of a demon went slicing through the air at the speed of lightning.
A white shadow of a palm with trails of fierce black aura formed a sharp afterimage of an arc to Happy’s left swiftly! It was so quick that it would shock all those who heard it.
Bang!
The sound of something crashing rang out in the air. Even though Happy already had increased his aura, his arm still went a little numb from the powerful force. The golden light around him trembled madly, and he took two steps back.
A pained shriek rose from the air in front of him!
The voice was very strange. It sounded like it belonged to a wolf, but also like a that of a woman.
Dead She-wolf!
Dead She-wolf had appeared!
The other three people in the chamber felt their hearts tremble. They discovered that there were five black marks with blood trailing down from the afterimage Happy had left behind with his swing.
Blood with black aura fell on the ground in a strange manner. They seemed to want to tell them that Dead She-wolf had not only failed in her first ambush, but that she had even been injured and poisoned.
There was surprise on Happy’s face.
Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm might be a demon vessel, but even he did not expect to be able to deal the ripping damage, which was supposed to only appear rarely, in his very first attack. He had managed to strike Dead She-wolf’s body and give her the deadly poison effect.
It was unexpectedly smooth.
“She’s injured!”Little North’s eyes were the sharpest. With an excited look, he pointed at the black drops of blood that continuously landed on the ground. “Look! She’s moving!”
“Attack!”
Thunderous Battle and Red Dust executed their attacks at the same time.
Happy had managed to heavily injure Dead She-wolf at the moment he attacked. This scene not only gave them confidence, but the two of them could also gain some information from the sight of the moving trail of blood on the ground: Dead She-wolf was poisoned, and her abilities had been compromised a little.
Originally, everyone was very wary and in awe of Dead She-wolf, because they could not see her. But right then, the droplets of blood on the ground showed them where she was, and all their worries were instantly gone. Their confidence rose, and they went to surround Dead She-wolf.
Happy, Thunderous Battle, and Red Dust were all people with high-tier body fortification techniques and high-tier martial arts at Grandmaster Realm. They swung their weapons twice, and the hidden Dead She-wolf was struck. She howled in anger repeatedly.
Even though she did not quite know how the people determined her position, the tight chase made her unable to bother about it. Instead, she decided to stop fleeing and face the trio head on!
She was a powerful monster in Life and Death Realm. There was no way she could not deal with one Mystical Realm martial artist and a few Blessed Realm martial artists.
The air swiftly froze! Red light flashed in the air, and two clear and dazzling blood-red palm prints appeared! When they gained full shape in the air, they went straight for Happy, who was nearest to them. They went charging at him like shooting stars in an attempt to kill him.
“Be careful of her Continuous Flames Palm!” Red Dust knew just how powerful that attack was, and his eyelids twitched. He quickly cried out loudly to warn Happy. “Run! High-tier body fortification techniques won’t be able to withstand it!”
Continuous Flames Palm was Dead She-wolf’s killing technique. Not only could it injure enemies through the air, it could also be executed in a continuous stream. Once Dead She-wolf fixed her sights on a target, she would send her qi into her palms to deliver and would not stop until her enemy died.
Chivalry Sect had more than one of their comrades with high-tier body fortification techniques chased down to their deaths because of that technique.
“Perfect timing!”
When Happy saw the attack, his expression did not change. He did not retreat either and just moved forward!
Dead She-wolf’s Continuous Flames Palm delivered more damage the further away she was from her target; the closer she was to her enemy, the less damage she would be able to deliver. Also, when she executed her killing technique, she was unable to move, and it was a good chance to severely injure her!
Happy ignored the flame palms that struck his Golden Bell Cocoon. He shaped his left hand into a claw while his right arm acted as a saber to crush the flame shadows with the force of a violent gust of wind. Then, his arms moved behind the flame palms…
… And he executed Dragon Capture!
