Sword Among Us

Xie Xun might be blind, but he was unparallelled when locating his enemies based on the sound of wind! He surpassed countless powerful players in this regard!

“Hmph, you have guts!”

His ears twitched when he noticed the two people who shot out of the bamboo forest one after the other. He flew into rage, and his killing intent rose!

Zhang Wuji reacted very quickly. He swiftly shouted in surprise, “Senior Xie, she’s my friend. She doesn’t have any ill will.”

“Your friend?” Xie Xun could sense that the aura around Zhou Zhiruo’s body was weak, and that alone, she posed no harm to him. He snorted coldly and turned his ear slightly to the side. He then focused on Happy, who was charging toward Heavenly Sword.

When he saw that there was actually someone who would dare to covet Heavenly Sword, Xie Xun flicked his wrist, and a golden saber glare shot out from his Dragon Saber.

Happy concentrated on charging toward Heavenly Sword. He did not slow down, but he did pay some attention to Xie Xun’s actions.

When he saw that Xie Xun looked away from Zhou Zhiruo, he could not help but groan. Zhang Wuji was someone who would definitely take care of his female friends, but he would selectively ignore a nobody like Happy…

‘Who said that Zhang Wuji isn’t selfish?’

While grumbling in his heart, Happy shouted out loudly, “Zhang Wuji… Young Swordsman Zhang, please tell Senior Xie that I have no ill will! I am acting based on Sect Leader Zhou Zhiruo’s orders to temporarily take care of Heavenly Sword!”

He spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant! He sounded confident, righteous, and awe-inspiring!

Even though Zhang Wuji did not cooperate with him, when Xie Xun heard that someone had called out his foster son’s name and seemed to have mentioned the person nearby as well, his emotions surged, and the fatal saber glare from his Dragon Saber instantly diminished by a large degree.

“You know my son Wuji?!”

When he spoke, it sounded like he was worried that he would injure the person who knew Zhang Wuji. His qi got restrained, and he lost the momentum that would allow him to destroy everything.

‘Perfect chance!’

Happy was overjoyed. He waited until the golden saber glare arrived in front of him before activating Golden Bell Cocoon. At the same time, he performed Dragon Claw with his left hand and dragged Heavenly Sword out from the depths of the ground. It was sucked out by a great suction force.

Bang!

A great power crashed into Happy, and he was sent flying into the forest.

However, countless players had seen very clearly that Happy had already obtained Heavenly Sword. They also saw his body fly horizontally toward them. They could even vaguely see a sparkling but not dazzling metallic gold light that was evenly spread over his body under his torn green robe.

‘He made it!

‘Someone actually managed to grab Heavenly Sword right under Xie Xun’s eyes and brought it away from the most dangerous area.’

“Heavenly Sword!”

“What the heck!”

“It’s mine!”

“Snatch it!”

When the various players who had been stunned by Xie Xun’s mercilessness and strength in the bamboo forest and had subsequently calmed down saw that someone had crashed into the forest with Heavenly Sword, they instantly exploded.

As they cried out in surprise, countless people in night traveling clothes surged out like a swarm toward Heavenly Sword, which shone with a dazzling light!

Whine!

Hiss!

In the chaos, it was unavoidable that many people were prevented from getting close to Heavenly Sword. All sorts of sword and saber glares were accompanied by the heavy swish of axes and palm wind. They struck forward violently, and they also hit the people nearby.

There were people who went into defensive positions and launched counterattacks!

Anyway, because of the greed for Heavenly Sword, the bamboo forest flew into complete chaos.

Rustle…

Clang! Clang!

Bang!

Boom!

All sorts of sounds of objects striking each other intersected with each other. The bamboo was nearly all cut down, and cries of pain rose nonstop. There were also plenty of roars that spoke of great anger.

Wherever Heavenly Sword’s brightness appeared, light and shadows from swords and sabers would become a jumbled mess. Even some of the really calm players found it hard to remain level-headed in such a chaotic situation. They were dragged into a battle where they had no control over themselves. They could only passively swing their weapons and block as well as attack the players nearby.

Happy was in the center of the vortex, so it was natural that he could not avoid being dragged into it. He was the one who received the greatest number of attacks!

When he had managed to escape from dying in Xie Xun’s hands, he had been incredibly excited and delighted. But he did not expect that his loss of balance for a single instant would cause him to fall into an area with hundreds of great players.

There were people all around him. Even though he activated Rotating Spherical Cover to reflect damage, it still hurt. Life and Death Realm martial arts could cause Happy damage, even if it was not high.

Around a dozen players attacked him violently, and if Happy did not rely on his fourth-echelon Golden Armor to retain his posture and balance, he would have long since been stunned and made dizzy by the furious attacks.

Petite Dragon!

Happy avoided most of the damage from another round of attacks and moved out of the center of the battlefield as well as the area of attack like a swimming dragon. He circulated his qi frantically, and Heavenly Sword instantly shone much brighter!

Its light was cold and sharp!

The players who were in a circular area of sixty-five feet froze at that moment. There was a freezing chill in that light, and it made them feel as if their faces had been cut by a steel sword that could go through bone.

Whoosh!

Many pairs of eyes fixed on Heavenly Sword, which shone with an astonishing light that penetrated the bamboo forest, and burned fiercely.

It was a divine weapon!

As expected of a top class divine weapon!

Before the wielder even attacked, it was already incredibly difficult to block its might. It revealed a momentum that could sweep away everything.

A few people outside the crowd stared at the person who seized the sword. He stood under the light of Heavenly Sword while wearing shiny Golden Armor that had three colors flowing in it. They sucked in sharp breaths, and their expressions filled with shock.

“Run!”

“Hurry up and run!”

They warned each other with shouts at the top of their voices, but they sounded incredibly faint among the surging shouts crying out for them to steal the sword.

“Kill him!”

“To the person who gets Heavenly Sword, I’ll buy it for ten million RMB!”

A voice from a wealthy man suddenly rose from the crowd. He stood outside the battlefield and stared at Heavenly Sword with burning eyes that made him look as if he was madly in love with the sword. Clearly, he had become completely filled with admiration for Heavenly Sword’s might and submitted to its glory.

Ten million!

That sentence stimulated many of the martial artists in the bamboo forest.

Quite a lot of people gave up on the pointless battle and rushed toward Heavenly Sword!

When they saw that the person with the sword had been surrounded by countless martial artists, a roar that was accompanied by a piercing light exploded, and it came out with the force of a volcano that had been holding back an eruption for a long time.

Shick!

A snow white sword force suddenly shot through the crowd. In an instant, more than ten people’s bodies were pierced by it!

The ears of Xie Xun, who held Dragon Saber in his hands, twitched. He turned in the direction of the players’ conflict in the bamboo forest with disbelief on his face.

“He’s so young and his qi realm is so low, but he managed to activate Heavenly Sword’s sword will,” he murmured. “He is an amazing talent… a great talent…”

As if to resonate with Xie Xun’s words, the snow white sword force in the bamboo forest paused for a moment before sweeping madly in a horizontal fashion at an astonishing speed!

Whoooooossshhhh!

The snow white sword force instantly swept through dozens of players around it!

The bamboo forest was immediately filled with the terrifying snow white sword force.

The speed at which it swept about was incredibly fast.

It danced and intersected with each other in every direction, and it did so very swiftly!

Wherever it went, the qi of martial artists froze in its circulation, and they stopped in the air with baffled expressions.

All that might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but everything occurred in the blink of an eye.

In a second, the sword force had already moved nearly sixty-five feet above the people in the bamboo forest!

Only around two-three seconds went by from the moment the counterattack began until the time the bamboo forest fell into absolute silence.

When the light fell away and returned to Heavenly Sword, countless martial artists were revealed to have been cut into an innumerable number of pieces. They fell from the sky with rustling sounds, and blood rained down from the sky in a circular area of dozens of feet around Heavenly Sword.

Not a single person remained alive!
