Sword Among Us

Knife, Thunder, and Bar pounded away at the floors above and below Happy’s apartment that day. Happy did not know the specific details, but based on what Silver Wolf said, it seemed like his security system had been upgraded, and it was getting closer to the ones offered by professional bodyguards.

Happy thought it was unnecessary, but Silver Wolf mentioned that there was no harm in having this sort of thing. It would, of course, be for the best if it was unneeded, but if anyone wanted to do anything to Happy, it was best if they could react straightaway.

In the end, Happy allowed the trio to do whatever they wanted.

Instead of saying that he had three more bodyguards, it was more accurate to say that he had gained three new friends in the area, so he just let them do whatever they wanted.

Happy decided to cross the bridge when it came, and he ate some food before he returned to the game to continue fighting.

Dragon Tiger Arena had reached its final stage.

When Zhang Sanfeng went up against Zhang Wuji, he took the initiative to give up the fight.

Xiao Feng won against Ling Huchong, but was defeated by Zhang Wuji.

“I did not expect that in the end, Ming Cult’s Zhang Wuji would still end up as the master of the alliance of martial artists.”

“I am Wang Chongyang of Complete Reality School. Cult Master Zhang, please grant me your instruction!”

A loud voice rang through Dragon Tiger Arena when Happy returned to the game. He quirked his eyebrow, because he did not expect another legendary person to appear.

“Wang Chongyang is here.”

Happy frowned, for that man was the leader of the five champions of China. The champion in the east was Huang Yaoshi, the champion in the west was Ouyang Feng, the champion in the south was Duan Zhixing, the champion in the north was Hong Qigong, and the champion in the center was the master of divine arts, Wang Chongyang. He was the strongest of the five, but Happy had not expected that he would appear in the martial arts tournament.

Zhang Wuji might have a seventh realm Heaven and Earth Great Shift and the peerless divine martial art Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Taichi Art, but his opponent was a rather difficult person to deal with.

Wang Chongyang practiced an amazing skill that was matchless in his time—Pre-heaven Skill!

The Taoist Sect’s Pre-heaven Skill allowed the user to turn something that was acquired later into something that was seemingly inborn. The user could gather together primordial qi, spirit, essence, and the aura of the world to strengthen their body, and its potential was endless.

The user of this art could also attack without form and easily injure a person’s meridian system.

On top of that, Wang Chongyang was someone with Nine Yin Manual!

He had not quickly mastered his Nine Yin Manual like Zhou Zhiruo did. In the beginning, the entire world of martial artists had fought for Nine Yin Manual, and even all the five champions in China did so. Chaos and blood had raged in China for many years, until in the end, it was obtained by Wang Chongyang.

It could be said that Wang Chongyang could only be stronger than Zhang Wuji, not weaker.

Even Happy was not certain of Wang Chongyang’s qi realm.

However, just by watching Wang Chongyang attack and easily force Zhang Wuji into a corner, he knew that Wang Chongyang was higher by a level. Zhang Wuji had to activate Nine Yang Divine Skill, and his handsome turned so red that it was practically dripping blood.

But as the creator of Complete Reality School, Wang Chongyang would not readily injure Zhang Wuji. He only wished that Zhang Wuji would know to give up when he saw that it was difficult for him to win.

Both parties quickly exchanged more than one hundred moves.

When Zhang Wuji was about to lose, a shrill moan of a bell rang as a warning from outside Hero’s Mountain Villa. The expressions of the villa master and the other elites changed, and they stood up.

“What’s going on?!” Villa Master Yue demanded.

Soon, the Hero’s Mountain Villa elites at the wall responded. “The elites from Sky Demon Sect have arrived! Villa Master, they have already passed through the moat! The north side is in danger!”

“What?!” Villa Master Yue was furious. “Those Sky Demon Sect scum! They do not wish for the martial arts tournament to go on smoothly!”

“This is not the time to say such things. Since the powerful people of Sky Demon Sect have arrived beforehand and our elites are here, we can go and meet them!”

“That’s right!”

“I’d like to see just who those people from Sky Demon Sect are. The best martial artists in the world are gathered here, and they dare to forcefully make their way inside?”

The elites from the sects drew their weapons and showed their desire to fight against the evil sect!

Wang Chongyang and Zhang Wuji had already stopped fighting on the stage to restore their qi.

Just when the elites around Dragon Tiger Arena showed their desire to fight and laughed wildly, a voice spread through the air over Dragon Tiger Arena in an awe-inspiring manner.

“Hahahaha, perfect! All of you people who claim yourselves to be righteous are here. It saved us the time to go around searching for you. Today, all of you will die here.”

The voice was like a thunderclap. Happy and his group felt their true qi in their Dantian region being affected by the sound so much that they could not gather their qi. They felt incredibly horrible, as if there was a mountain pressing down on their shoulders. They felt a great wave of pressure that made it difficult to even breathe.

The faces of Murong Clan Lady and the other great martial artists also gained abnormal colors after the speech.

Wang Chongyang took a step forward. “Sir, you sure speak very boldly!”

His voice was loud and clear as it shot through the clouds.

The hearts of the great martial artists around Dragon Tiger Arena relaxed. Most of the strange pressure was instantly banished, and they regained their mobility.

However, this scene caused Happy to become wary.

If a person had the courage to say such bold words before so many martial artists, they might be one of the few old demons in the world of martial artists. Could the speaker from before be one of them?

Happy was never afraid of NPCs in his previous life, because he could control some of their actions through the plot, but there were a few of them who were very hard to move around.

“Sir, who are you from Sky Demon Sect? Might I know your name?”

Wang Chongyang cast his gaze at Master Kong Xiang from Shaolin Temple while speaking. The latter understood what he meant, and he shook his head.

“When I came out, I intentionally asked someone to keep an eye on Punishment Mount. No one will come out.”

“Punishment Mount? That idiotic monk? Even though his strength is great, it’s a pity that his head has rusted. He has astonishing skills, but he’s willing to rot away on that mountain. Hmph!”

The wild voice rose again, and it was clear that he had heard Kong Xiang’s voice, which sounded like a bell chime.

“Since it’s not him, then the five demons of Sky Demon Sect are not as strong as I am. Please come out and meet!”

The sounds of fighting rose from the area around Hero’s Mountain Villa, and the chaos was drawing closer to Dragon Tiger Arena. Judging by the sounds, all the villa gates were attacked at the same time and were already lost.

“Why should I waste my breath on the dead?!”

While the villa master ordered the people to head forward to provide reinforcements, a cold and gentle voice traveled forth in an awe-inspiring manner. “Attack!”

Dense waves of arrows pierced the clouds like a swarm of locusts.

The arrow shower appeared outside Dragon Tiger Arena in a manner that filled every part of the sky. The shrill whines made it clear that the arrows were not fired from normal archers.

However, such attacks could not take down the elites from the sects!

Those who could enter Dragon Tiger Arena were all people who could not be easily taken down.

Their expressions did not change when they saw the volley of arrows charging at them.

Zhang Wuji swung his arms on the stage, and the arrows that drew near him changed their direction with loud whistles. They were instantly gathered together by Heaven and Earth Great Shift to form a huge porcupine!

Wang Chongyang was even more brutal!

He faced countless arrows, and with just a cold snort, the air in front of him shuddered violently. Numerous arrows before him shattered and fell to the ground with a loud clatter.

Even though the elites from the other sects were not as amazing as that, they could easily protect themselves and the disciples around them!

Yet the players could not quite catch up to the change in rhythm from the sudden turn of events on the arena to the swift halt of the martial arts tournament.

However, with so many elites around, they were not worried about being killed.

Only Happy’s expression turned incredibly solemn when he heard the cold, gentle, but awe-inspiring female voice.

Yin Weed Faction, Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan!
