Sword Among Us

Assassin Hall was an organization for hire that was formed by Tang Sect disciples. They did not form their own sect, but their fame spread out. The reason behind that was because Tang Feng, who was ranked seventh on the Dragon Rank, had already accepted many assassination tasks. He would kill anyone for a million taels of silver, and by then, he had killed at least seventeen sect masters and powerful players on the Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank.

The other members in Assassin Hall also had extraordinary abilities. They relied on Mystical Realm hidden weapons techniques and all sorts of hidden weapons that had poison within them. They claimed that every single member of theirs had the power to fight against powerful players on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks.

Over the past month or so, even though Assassin Hall did not have a place to stay, their presence had been deeply etched within many sects’ hearts!

To Tang Feng, however, there was a problem with Assassin Hall’s perfect record when they failed to kill Happy.

During that time, he had personally attacked and used all his techniques, but even though he managed to force Happy to bring out his Golden Armor Set, he did not force Happy to use his full strength and still ended in failure.

Hence, when he received the employment from Hall Master Dream Clouds of Class One Hall again, Tang Feng laughed.

Even though Tang Feng was in a bad mood and last time had attacked with every means at his disposal, when he thought of Happy’s fame and prestige as well as the benefits and reputation they would gain from killing him, he simply could find a reason to reject her request.

*****

Boom!

The gate of Class One Hall’s branch sect in Vast Martial City shattered with a bang, but Happy’s expression did not change. He just walked inside indifferently.

When the members of Class One Hall saw Happy step into the headquarters, they were finally unable to hold themselves back. A few of them brought out their throwing knives and hidden weapons.

“Attack!”

The use of all sorts of hidden weapons and throwing weapons drew the curtains for the battle.

Happy and All-powerful Medicinal Stone vanished from the spot at the same time.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone might have lain dormant for a long time, but he had never neglected practicing his lightness skill and sword techniques. He was as fast as ever, and he shot into the crowd like a phantom. Where he passed, people cried out in pain, and their body fortifications were treated as nothing by All-powerful Medicinal Stone. Wounds that were not too deep but not entirely shallow appeared on arms and legs.

“Sacred Spirit Sword Technique?”

Happy was originally a little worried about All-powerful Medicinal Stone, but when he saw the small circles of light that were formed by sword light on All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s sword along with how easily he moved through the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he became at ease.

The man actually had the Twenty-one Sacred Spirit Sword Techniques.

It was one of the supreme grade Mystical Realm sword techniques, and it was incredibly fast! It could ignore all sorts of defensive body fortifications and injure the enemy directly. The user did not need to infuse any sort of qi into the attack, which was why the user’s attack would not be affected by body fortifications and could directly damage the enemy. It was considered as a very unique sword technique.

Its only weakness was that its damage was low, and while it could gain the upperhand in a fight, once the fight dragged out, the user’s body fortifications would begin to falter, and it would be very easy for them to find themselves at a disadvantage.

Upon understanding that, Happy looked away resolutely.

Clear Abyss released a shocking sword light.

A dark blue sword glare that had faint dark and red flowing light in it crashed violently into the first five Class One Hall members who did not have the time to dodge!

The sword light flashed in an arc, and it swiftly increased in brightness.

The five people looked as if they had been struck by lightning. Their body fortifications simply could not help them dissolve Happy’s attacks. The moment they swayed, they coughed up blood and crashed into the people behind them.

Happy activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill and quickly followed the five into the crowd.

‘Wind Spirit Spin!’

Once he located the five people who were injured, he moved among them without stopping. When he heard the system’s notification, he shifted his gaze to another direction.

Two slashes.

Five people!

The disciples from Class One Hall sucked in sharp breaths.

‘Did Happy really die once?’

A very unrealistic question suddenly flashed in their hearts.

Each Class One Hall member had very extraordinary abilities. If they fought at full strength, they could even fight against top-tier elites for some time.

But they had no way of fighting back in front of Happy.

He killed them with two slashes.

It was a sign that his damage was over 4,500!

How could a person who had already died once and had his abilities reduced by 20% still have such strong damage?

On top of that, Happy’s attack speed and movement speed were not that much slower than what they saw in the battle replays. Instead, they seemed to have improved.

That was not logical! Just what was going on?

In the blink of an eye, Happy killed a dozen people in the crowd, and more than twenty people were injured.

When anyone’s attacks landed on Happy, hiss body did not even shake, and he could remain in his stance, which was why his attack pattern was never interrupted. Aside from him dodging a little when his head was about to be threatened, he did not bother with evading any attacks. He just concentrated on chasing after Class One Hall disciples.

In just three minutes, nearly half of the less than one hundred members in the branch were dead.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone had killed two people, but those around him were covered in blood and looked incredibly pathetic and miserable.

At some unknown point in time, the walls outside Class One Hall had become filled with onlookers.

Most of those people had come over once they heard the news to watch the fight and enjoy the excitement. Of course, there were also elites who targeted Happy’s equipment, but when they saw him charging about and spilling blood in Class One Hall’s branch, the players with ulterior motives instantly dismissed the thought of engaging him in a fight.

‘He’s too terrifying!’

Even when a dozen people’s attacks landed on him, he did not move. With two slashes as a counterattack, he would kill them…

He seemed to have come infinitesimally close to Ninja King in defense and attack.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone suddenly shouted, “Happy, don’t play around with them anymore! Just destroy their foundation!”

Alarmed, Happy quickly looked around and discovered a group of people swiftly closing in on the branch with steady and uniform footsteps. He immediately scowled and used two slashes to force back the Class One Hall members who tried to hold him back.

With a tap against the ground, his golden bell appeared around him, and while he withstood a few people’s attacks, he moved lightly to the foundation which was in front of the hall.

“Stop him!”

“Attack together! We can’t let him destroy the branch’s foundation!”

Class One Hall members regarded Class One Hall’s glory and dignity very importantly, especially when there were many people watching them. If two people managed to destroy their foundation, it would be the same as someone giving a vicious slap to their face. They would not even need to think about being able to gain a footing in Vast Martial City in the future, and they could not puff out their chests proudly anymore.

Happy lifted his sword and swung it down!

His damage was around 4,600, and it immediately caused the black sect foundation to shiver a little. Some fine stones fell from the surface.

“AAAAHHHH!”

A group of Class One Hall members were filled with anger. They jumped into the air and pounced on Happy, who was on the headquarters. They did so without caring about their own safety. Their weapons shone with all sorts of light, and they viciously slashed at him.

Happy’s actions paused for a moment. He raised his head proudly to stand against the thirty or so Class One Hall members coming at him, and a dazzling tri-colored light exploded from his hands.

It crashed into the group’s chests under the power of Wind Spirit Spin.

Meanwhile, even though Happy had to withstand quite a lot of attacks from the people at the front row, he did not sway. The only sign that he was attacked was that the golden bell shuddered with a buzz and became slightly dimmer.

He tapped against the air, and the second sword light charged forward!

Thirty or so people froze in the air and coughed up blood. They flew out at an even faster speed, and quite a number of people did not manage to even climb back up to their feet.

A fierce light shone in Happy’s eyes, and he caught up to them like a phantom. He was about to kill them before he returned to destroy the foundation when a shout made his pause.

“STOP!”

After that single word, dozens of people rushed into the branch through the gate.

The members of Assassin Hall, led by Tang Feng, had finally arrived!
