Sword Among Us

This was the formation that protected the sect.

At the moment the One Thousand Sword Sect was officially activated, Happy suddenly found that he had underestimated Sword Sect’s foundation of strength.

A moment ago, it had been calm at Sword Sect, but in an instant, stones and sand started flying all over the place.

Sword qis that tore through the air brought about dense whistles in the air, and the weather changed. A countless number of swords flew, and the entire area was locked down by sword qis. Layers of sword nets that could not be counted were formed, and they surrounded Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox completely.

More than one thousand sword wills were instantly gathered together, and in a moment, it was as if all the sword qis became even fiercer than before. More than one thousand Inaction Realm sword qis gained the power of Myth Realm under the influence of the sword wills. All of them cut through the air and brought about sword whines that caused space to tremble. Clanging sounds nonstop, and this sword force alone was enough to make a person suffer from a mental breakdown.

‘Oh no!’

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s face instantly turned incredibly pale.

Under the pressure from the powerful sword momentum, he found that he had no way of escaping. The power of his lightness skill had also been largely suppressed. In fact, his qi was also gathering in him much slower than before.

He could only watch as the sword net was completely formed in the air above him. Countless sword qis intersected with each other and separated the people from the formation.

More than one thousand Sword Sect disciples stood outside the layers of sword nets. They held their swords with one hand, and dazzling sword qis shot out from everywhere of the sword nets. They were really fast, and they were also very elusive.

In his haste, Thousand-faced Human Fox blocked off one wave of attacks, and his face turned even paler.

After all, the One Thousand Sword Formation’s attacks were definitely at the level of someone in Myth Realm. Each crash caused his arm to become numb!

But each wave of attack contained dozens of sword qis of the same strength. After parrying a few attacks, Thousand-faced Human Fox found himself to be surrounded by too many difficulties.

If it were not for the fact that Thousand-faced Human Fox had extraordinary lightness skill, and his dodging skills were about the same as someone in the dao of heaven, he would not have been able to last through the first wave of attacks.

“Master!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

Happy was still in a pretty good condition.

Ever since he switched to Heavenly Demon Armor and Heaven Crystal became stronger, his Affinity and defense both increased. With just a normal attack, he could deliver dozens of Myth Realm sword qis. So, he was able to move around with ease in the face of attacks of this level.

But Happy’s expression was sour.

Right now, even though the One Thousand Sword Formation was activated, it was clear that they had not fully activated it yet. It felt like they were just toying with him.

If it was already so troublesome after only a little bit of its power was activated, Happy could not begin imagining just what sort of attacks the One Thousand Sword Formation would deliver when it was fully activated. And he wondered whether Thousand-faced Human Fox would be cut down at the moment it attacked.

Happy’s expression turned dark. He thought, ‘Thousand-faced Human Fox is very useful. I can’t let anything happen to him.’

Clang!

He jumped into the air. Heaven Crystal’s sound became clearer, and it echoed even more. An astonishing sword will exploded from it.

He launched an attack with the power of those in the dao of heaven!

“Haha!”

When he saw that Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox were surrounded by danger and nearly died in the One Thousand Sword Formation, the sect master of Sword Sect had his voice travel loudly into the formation from all directions. He sounded as if he was delighting in their misery. “Sect Master Happy, you tyrannized Sword Sect with the power of Heaven Crystal that day. Now, you actually dared to come to Sword Sect?! I’m going to make sure that you won’t be able to come back after this!”

“How conceited!”

Happy drew a slash with his longsword.

Whine!

When he delivered the slash, the clouds in the area surged.

The sect master’s laughter came to an abrupt end.

A scene that the sect master could not accept appeared before the people’s eyes.

The entire space trembled loudly. The air around them was pushed down viciously by a sudden force. The numerous sword qis in the space crumbled.

With Happy at the center, the sword qis within a circular area of dozens of feet shattered, as if they were squashed by an even more terrifying strength.

All the Sword Sect disciples in the area coughed up blood.

The perfect sword net also instantly had a hole that had a diameter of 325 feet left behind on it.

The One Thousand Sword Formation had a huge gash left behind on it for the time being.

Wild Fights in All Directions!

Whoosh!

Full Winds in Long Skies!

He executed his attacks one after another.

He delivered a slash at full power, and eight slashes with power equivalent to someone in the dao of heaven charged forward. The sword net that was 325 feet away was instantly torn.

In the distance, a group of Sword Sect members were thrown on the ground in a dishevelled pile.

“Leave!”

After Happy delivered the attack, he created a perfect chance for Thousand-faced Human Fox.

The thief did not waste Happy’s efforts. He seized the chance the sword net crumbled, and like an arrow, he quickly jumped over the group of injured Sword Sect members.

“One ran away!”

“Don’t worry! Happy is still inside!”

“Forget about that old man!”

“Be careful, don’t let Happy escape!”

The Sword Sect members cried out and did not chase after Thousand-faced Human Fox. They just let him vanish. Instead, they quickly took the place of the group of injured Sword Sect members and reactivated the One Thousand Sword Formation.

This time, they fully activated the power of the formation.

The sword net was shut.

Under the astonishing pressure, sword qis that numbered ten times to the amount in the previous wave of attack shot out from all directions.

“Perfect timing!”

After he sent Thousand-faced Human Fox away, Happy was instantly left with no worries. Even though the power of the One Thousand Sword Formation had increased by a large degree, he did not mind.

He moved, and the spot where he previously stood was instantly cut multiple times by countless sword qis.

A sword qi quickly changed direction in the air, and it chased after Happy like a shadow.

Dragon Swings Its Tail!

Sword glares that intersected with each other were all that was left on the spot where Happy stood.

“Ah!”

Before a Sword Sect member could pull his longsword back, he found a shadow looming over him by his side, and a roundhouse kick came charging at him.

Whoosh!

A brief and urgent whistle tore through the air.

Bang!

He was sent flying and crashed against the ground. Then, he lost consciousness.

As an Inaction Realm Sword Sect disciple, even if he did not die from having a kick containing the power of Myth Realm ram into his head, he would also suffer from a concussion.

More than one thousand Sword Sect members started moving about like butterflies.

The formation changed.

The sword qis above them froze a little and quickly relocated their target.

Happy did not stop there.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

The Sword Sect members lost track of their enemy again.

Even though their sword qis chased after him and followed Happy’s swiftly moving afterimages to leave behind deep gashes on the ground that intersected with each other, they were never able to hit their enemy.

In an instant, Happy charged into the midst of a group of Sword Sect members.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of solid crashes rose. Dozens of Sword Sect members grunted. They were practically all sent flying in various directions by a mighty strength.

Happy was a little shocked

He sucked in a deep breath and looked down in disbelief at his hands.

As expected of the Supreme Technique of the World. It was so fast that it was much faster than Hourly Sword Technique, which was a unique martial art.

He fought against the alliance master previously, and most of the time, he relied on Dragon Swings Its Tail, Petite Dragon, and his true origin aura to last. He also used Heaven Crystal’s might to stand against him, but it was only when he truly used the Supreme Technique of the World that he was able to sense how powerful it was.

This was just like how someone would be suddenly able to move from normal martial arts to Stormy Shadowless Kick after they reached Blessed Realm. Even though the increase in power was not great, their attack speed would have increased by leaps and bounds, and in an instant, they could deliver countless punches and kicks, causing their enemy to be unable to catch up, and they did not even have the chance to parry or fight back.

The system notification also made its presence known at this moment.

“Ding!

“Activated Sword Sect’s sect protection formation—One Thousand Sword Formation!

“Activated survival quest! The sect protection formation is something that even supernatural beings have a hard time fending against! If you live through this desperate situation, you will be able to refine your will and stimulate your potential! If you successfully break out of Sword Sect’s formation, your Comprehension and Affinity will reach a breakthrough, and you will gain one Willpower point!

“During the period of the survival quest, your potential will be stimulated, and your cultivation speed will increase!”

Happy was stunned!

In Persia was a town called Shiva Town. It was filled with people, and over this period of time, it bustled with activity.

Some time ago, One Emperor led some Lovely Land members to visit the place.

Persia was not a small country like Vietnam or Thailand. This was a powerful empire during ancient times, and it had a large territory. The local sects working together with the Wild Wolves had their roots planted deep in the place. When One Emperor entered Persia, he once stayed for a long time in Shiva Town to fight against them.

At that time, One Emperor worked together with some of the rather influential sects in Shiva Town and engaged in more than one hundred intense fights of various scales against the greatest authority in Persi—Blood River. Their fights broke out in a circular area of thirty-one miles.

It was also because they stayed for too long in this place that the Wild Wolves seized the chance to launch an encirclement that guaranteed their deaths.

And after One Emperor and Lovely Land’s members were completely wiped out, the local forces over here were erased once more with aggressive attacks once more.

But that was not all.

After Evil Emperor perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, Evil Emperor came here to this place to train, because it enjoyed a good reputation. Two thousand elite Wild Wolves stationed themselves here, causing the place to be incredibly lively.

The biggest building in Shiva Town was a temple that was used to worship fire, and it was conquered by expeditionary forces. This temple was the equivalent to a Guanlin Temple in the Chinese plains, the Europeans’ Resurrection Temple.

At the entrance of the temple were dozens of pillars. Each of the pillars was thicker than the pillars found in a normal house. They were dozens of feet long, and when someone stood outside, they would find themselves to be really tiny.

Now, two people sat at the top of the temple in boredom. In a posture that blasphemed against the god here, they looked at the people who walked out of the temple. They also had an air of superiority, as if they were looking at ants.

Of the two people on the roof, one of them was Flame Wolf. The other one had half his face covered with metal. On one hand, he held a longspear that was more than ten feet long. On the other end of the longspear was a morning star that was connected to the spear with an unknown material. The person and the weapon both looked domineering and savage.

Both of them looked down at the people from the temple, who were as tiny as ants, and discussed among themselves.

“Persia is an ancient kingdom as well, but its power is much weaker than the Chinese plains. The decent ultimate techniques that they have seem to all belong to us now. What an irony…”

“The leader has great vision! If we didn’t take down Persia and have the Persians offer us tribute with their resources, we wouldn’t have been able to so easily take down most of the resources in the world with just that bit of people in our organization.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“But what is the leader thinking about this time?” the man with the strange morning star and metal helmet murmured, “He has already perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and it’ll be much better if he just slaughters his way into the Chinese plains and kill them all! Why is he giving time to the people in the Chinese plains to mobilize their forces…?”

When he heard this, Flame Wolf frowned and sighed. “You don’t understand, the Chinese plains cannot be compared to Persia!”

“Persia is pretty decent in terms of national strength, but their progress in learning martial arts is too slow, and it’s formed by several countries, so they’re not unified! In the beginning, we managed to take it down with just a bit of power. But the Chinese plains is different. The trend of martial arts in the Chinese plains is very strong. Everyone has the spirit of a wanderer in them, where they will return favors with those are granted to them, and take revenge on those who wronged them. They’re very averse to foreign forces, and they had people like Happy, Wandering Know-it-all and One Emperor appear among them. It won’t be easy to deal with them. Even if we manage to get into the Chinese plains, we won’t be able to make them submit to us!”

“Are you saying that we can make them submit to us after we lure them out of the Chinese plains?’

“Hmph… This time, the leader is luring them into Shiva Town because he wants to get over his humiliation and to put things right once and for all.” Flame Wolf sucked in a deep breath in a mysterious manner.
