Sword Among Us

“Who are you?!”

Even though Blood Robes did not recognize Happy, he could sense the killing intent trained on him. It was like the glaciers of South Pole that freeze a person.

Happy ignored Blood Robes. His gaze moved to Lin Xiao, who was surrounded by trouble. Even though Lin Xiao managed to recover some of his qi during the brief amount of time just then, he could not withstand the attacks from two powerful players when they worked together. He was covered in wounds.

Thud!

“Sir, you’re pretty arrogant…”

After all, Blood Robes had only met Happy once. Even though he was very familiar with his name, he had not reached the point where he could recognize Happy at first glance. Besides, he did not believe that Happy would dare to not wear any equipment while surrounded by so many powerful players.

When he saw Happy jump down from the wall to head toward Lin Xiao, his gaze became fierce.

“Kill them!” His voice was cold and determined.

Class One Hall’s people were only stunned for a short moment because of the mysterious man’s arrival. Once they received the order, a few people immediately jumped up from the crowd! Fierce saber momentums and sword glares went toward Happy from everywhere.

Happy remained calm.

While he was in the air, the fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword landed in his hands, and he drew his sword!

Countless players felt their gazes become blurry while they were inside the wall. An astonishing glare shot before them, and the six people’s attacks melted away like snow in spring. They quietly crumbled before the sword force without a sound.

The six Class One Hall members did not know what had happened. When the remaining strength of the sword force crashed violently into their chests, they grunted, coughed up blood, and fell into the crowd.

Their armor was pierced through with just one strike. A terrifying slash could be seen on their chests. By the looks of it, not one of them had survived.

The sword traveled freely, and it did so in every sense of the word.

Happy had drawn his sword in the air and cut down six people with one slash. Then, he landed next to Lin Xiao. He did all of that in one breath.

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows looked as if they had run into something poisonous. They retreated far away with pale faces and sized up Happy with shock and bewilderment. They were not afraid of the sword force, but they were truly terrified by the Nation Protecting Divine Sword in Happy’s hands.

It had three colors flowing on it, along with a phantasmal one on top of that.

‘Fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword.’

A name that caused countless Class One Hall members to clench their teeth in exasperation instantly appeared in the depths of their minds.

Even Blood Robes stopped chasing after Wind Void. He stood where he was and spat one word that caused his face to turn pale and red with rage.

“Happy!”

“Big Brother Lin, I’m late.”

Happy had his back turned to a group of Class One Hall members while he supported Lin Xiao up to his feet. He poured out a jade green medicinal pill and pushed it into Lin Xiao’s mouth.

“Brother Happy.”

Lin Xiao’s eyes were red as he looked at the Chivalry Sect members’ corpses that numbered to more than one hundred. And he was a man who did not show any signs of weakness even when he was in despair. When Happy spoke after arriving unexpectedly, his eyes instantly became wet, and his hate spread to his whole body from his chest.

“Red Dust is…”

“Don’t worry.” Happy pushed down on Lin Xiao’s shoulder with great force and spoke in a sincere voice. “Big Brother Lin, Red Dust will be fine. I already notified him a long time ago.”

“That’s good!”

Lin Xiao was delighted. He then noticed an astonishing warmth swiftly restoring his qi and healing his wounds. “Small Reversion Pill!”

“Yup.” Happy smiled faintly and nodded. “I’m lucky to be able to fight together with you today to kill these evil bandits from Class One Hall.”

“It’s also my fortune!”

Lin Xiao held Happy’s shoulder as well.

The moment he finished speaking, Wind Void also arrived beside them.

Happy’s appearance caught the attention of the other martial artists in the area. All of them were incredibly surprised to see him!

A fire lit up in Shangguan Lian’s eyes while he remained among the Towering Palace members. It grew especially bright when Happy killed six players from Class One Hall with only one slash. The shock he felt was incredibly great.

Musical Note stared at the young man who was dressed in normal clothes and stood calmly while surrounded by countless enemies. Her eyes sparkled strangely.

“As expected, Happy has been staying in Eternal Peace County all this while. Class One Hall will not only return disappointed because their plan failed, they will also live knowing that they had made the alliance between Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan even stronger than before.”

“That might not necessarily be the case.” Shangguan Lian’s tone changed, and he looked at a man who had jumped on the wall without a sound. His pupils shrank a little upon examining him. “Class One Hall has one more trick up their sleeves.”

“Child’s Heart!” Musical Note also noticed the man who positioned his flute horizontally over his chest. She was slightly shocked.

‘This is bad!’

She watched in surprise as Child’s Heart landed on the wall, pursed his lips, and began to blow into the flute.

The notes from the flute were like a signal for Class One Hall. Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows attacked at the same time.

“Brother Happy, be careful!”

Lin Xiao was completely fine when he heard the flute, and he immediately came to realize that Class One Hall had switched their target to Happy, who did not have any armor on. Along with Wind Void, he protected Happy from the sides.

Right when Happy’s mind sank into a temporary daze, the flute notes came to an abrupt halt, and his eyes became clear again.

Many people were stunned by that. They turned their heads around to look, and they were just in time to see a sword protruding out of Child’s Heart’s chest. A person kicked down Child’s Heart corpse from the wall into the courtyard and tore off his human skin mask to reveal a middle-aged man’s smiling and cynical face.

“Hey, Class One Hall brats, your thieving uncle is here!”

Zhou Yu was filled with anger, and Blood Robes gritted his teeth in exasperation.

“All-powerful Medicinal Stone!”

But it was clearly not the time to take revenge for Child’s Heart. Happy, Wind Void, and Lin Xiao forced their way into the crowd of Class One Hall members, and they did it as easily as a hot knife cutting into butter. If none of the leaders received their attacks, there was no way the other Class One Hall members could withstand the charge from the three powerful players.

They braced themselves and engaged in a fierce fight!

Blood Robes gave one order after another. “Evil Wolf, Monk, take care of Lin Xiao! Zhou Yu, I’ll hold Happy back. You take care of Wind Void.”

Even though Zhou Yu had always been treated by Class One Hall as the person who would be used to handle Happy ever since he joined them, they were in an emergency and had to finish the fight as quickly as possible.

Zhou Yu’s abilities were about the same as Happy’s, while Wind Void was not someone Blood Robes could handle alone. Lin Xiao was incredibly tenacious, and Eternal Peace County was in Jiangnan. Once the Chivalry Sect members reacted to the situation and sent reinforcements, the matter would become difficult for them to handle.

Zhou Yu, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows all understood this. Without a word, they all went up against their assigned opponents!

Happy moved.

He did not intend to allow Class One Hall smoothly execute any strategy that would allow them to defeat his side, but once he heard Blood Robes volunteering to go up against him, a cold glare shone in his eyes.

“You refused to take the easy path, and when there is no difficult path to take, you insisted on coming over. Very well, today, I’ll push forward my plans to settle a debt with you. I will take revenge for my friends in Beautiful Robes Faction.”

“Brother Solitary, help me fight against Happy!”

When he noticed that the momentum of Happy’s sword had changed, Blood Robes felt a chill down his spine for some reason, and he quickly called out for help.

But unfortunately for him, Solitary Perpetual Joy was not someone simple-minded. He had personally brought the elites of his sect to help Class One Hall because Class One Hall was willing to give up one rather good resource point for his sect and because he thought long and hard about how Class One Hall handled matters. He was also tasked to escort Blood Robes to the south.

However, he did not answer Blood Robes when asked to go up against a fiend like Happy head-on. He hid himself in the crowd and criticized Blood Robes in his heart, ‘You think I’m dumb or something?’

The six Class One Hall members who had jumped out earlier were not at all inferior to Solitary Perpetual Joy, and Blood Robes wanted to poke Perpetual Joy Sect full of holes by asking him to fight against Happy? There was no way he would do something like that!
