Sword Among Us

Old Extreme Yin never appeared in Twin of Brothers, but Happy had heard of him before. In Happy’s previous life, he was known as someone whose skills with poison could compare with those of Tang Sect. Due to his ability with crafting poison and administering it, the people from both the righteous and evil paths were incredibly wary of him. Even Empress Yin of Yin Weed Faction treated him as an important guest when she received him.

“Fall!”

When Old Extreme Yin said those words, Happy noticed that some strange changes had happened in the air. As flying needles that fell on the ground and flying needles that were still in the air intersected with each other, an abnormal fragrance quickly appeared.

Shi Feixuan staggered!

The brightness of her Clear Sword instantly became much dimmer.

Her sword slash was easily blocked by Old Extreme Yin, even though it contained an astonishing momentum. But he was a cautious person, so even when he saw that his target was affected by his poison, he did not rush forward.

‘Old Extreme Yin, what a man. His skills with poison are really good.’

And even if Shi Feixuan noticed that she had been set up quietly, her gaze remained as calm as water. She was so calm that it was admirable.

“The people from Kind Boathouse are indeed extraordinary. You’re just a normal female disciple, yet you possess such a temperament.” Old Extreme Yin had already noticed that Shi Feixuan was different from all the women he had encountered before.

She actually managed to remain calm under his Cold Extreme Yin Poison.

At that moment, a clear and pleasant laughter sliced through the night sky before the newcomer descended near them. It was Wan Wan in all her enchanting glory. and she appeared in a breathtaking manner.

“Hehe… The lady has noticed that there is someone protecting her nearby, which is why she is so calm. Am I right?” She stopped talking for a moment before she said with a smile on her lips, “Senior Extreme Yin, I lack a female attendant by my side right now. Why don’t we make a deal? Let me have her, and I will choose a few evil cult disciples for you.”

“You’re the only one who can compare to this lass in the entire evil cult. What do you think?” Old Extreme Yin did not expect that the girl would chase after him. He snorted codly and said, “Or do you want to personally come and serve me?”

“I have no problem in personally serving you, but I’m afraid that your life will be cut short, and you might die in your bed.” Wan Wan might sound respectful, but she did not bother to hide her mocking tone toward Old Extreme Yin.

The old man laughed coldly. “I can’t be bothered bantering with you. I’m bringing this lass back, and I’d like to see how Empress Yin is going to ask for her from me.”

“Senior Extreme Yin, are you blind or deaf? I mentioned that the lady has a protector nearby, and you are confident in taking her down?”

Wan Wan’s words finally made Old Extreme Yin put on a solemn expression. He looked around, and clear laughter suddenly traveled into his ears from a distance.

“Lady Wan Wan, I really do not want to be enemies with you, but this lady is my bosom friend, and she is a woman of unparalleled beauty in her generation. I cannot bear to see such a beautiful woman fall into your hands.”

The elegant and handsome Hou Xibai with his white robes and Beauty Fan arrived near the trio like a phantom. There was a smile on his face, and he looked calm.

When Shi Feixuan saw that Hou Xibai had appeared, she sat down in a composed manner without even bothering about his status of someone from the evil cult and began circulating her qi to force the poison out of her body.

“Phantasm Body Movement Skill, Beauty Fan… You are Hou Xibai of Flowers Sect, Evil King’s disciple.”

Old Extreme Yin had thought that the person who protected Shi Feixuan would be someone from the righteous path, so he did not expect that it would be a person from the evil cult as well, and he was even Evil King’s successor. What was more, he showed signs of wanting to fight against them, which shocked Old Extreme Yin.

“Indeed, it is I.”

Hou Xibai stood under the moon. His appearance and bearing were both extraordinary, causing all those who saw him to instantly feel fond of him. He stood beside Shi Feixuan when he said those words, and he gave off the bold feeling that he was about to cast aside the world to give all his love to a beauty.

“Sir Hou, everyone knows that you love those who are beautiful, so I believe that you will not attack me, yes?” Wan Wan moved forward daintily, and her footsteps were very charming.

Hou Xibai fanned himself and laughed wanly. “I naturally do not wish to be enemies with you, Lady Wan Wan, but I hope that you will not trouble Feixuan, or else, I will be very troubled.”

“Hmph, you are such a womanizer. But you might have some difficulties wanting to save Shi Feixuan with just your abilities alone.”

Wan Wan’s eyes wandered about before she snorted softly and said, “Old Extreme Yin, block Mister Hou. I will bring the lady back to my faction.”

“…Alright.”

Even though Old Extreme Yin was reluctant to hand Shi Feixuan to Wan Wan, it was still better than allowing her to flee.

Shi Feixuan had been listening to their conversation, and she naturally knew that with Hou Xibai’s strength, it was impossible for him to fight against both people. She opened her eyes and sighed.

“Mister Hou, I understand your kind will. Please leave, or else, if your master learns about this, he will scold you.”

“Lady Feixuan, don’t worry. When a man stands on his own in the world and makes his own decisions, he has to protect the safety of the woman he loves, for everything else is just empty talk.”

Right when Hou Xibai finished speaking, Wan Wan and Old Extreme Yin charged toward him at the same time.

“I’d like to see how you’ll protect that girl.”

When the three began to fight, another unexpected voice cut into the fray. “The night is beautiful today! If you fight against each other, you’ll just be destroying its beauty.”

Another unforeseen change occurred. Wan Wan’s petite body froze before she removed herself from the battlefield. She looked in the direction from which the voice had come with slight surprise in her eyes. A black figure quickly drew closer, and she could see the person in a few moments.

Shi Feixuan also stared at the person who had come over in surprise.

Blue robes…

“I see, so it’s you sir. Are you going to be like Mister Hou and fight against me for a woman?” A clear and pleasant voice that carried a faint hint of bitterness rose into the air, causing those who heard it to be unable to help themselves and sink into it.

Hou Xibai was stunned when he saw a young man with extraordinary bearing and elegance move over with a smile.

“Brother Hou, you’re the best at dealing with women, so I’ll leave Lady Wan Wan to you. Please appease her while I’ll undertake the difficult task of blocking this horrid old man so that I can buy some time for the lady.”

“If that is your offer, it would be disrespectful of me to decline it.” When Hou Xibai saw that the person who came over was on his side, he was instantly delighted. “I have not asked for your name yet, my friend.”

“I’m Happy, disciple of the Murong Clan.”

Once he said those words, Hou Xibai and Shi Feixuan’s expressions changed. “You’re Young Swordsman Happy of Gusu’s Murong Clan? I’ve heard of your name for a long time!”

“If that’s the case, I will have to trouble you, Young Swordsman Happy. In the future, I will personally come to your clan to offer my thanks.”

“Hmph!”

A cold snort reached the trio from the side.

Old Extreme Yin was extremely angry.

Everything should have gone smoothly, but he did not expect that accidents would occur one after another. First, Wan Wan showed up, and she was followed by Hou Xibai. Now, another young disciple from the righteous path showed up.

Even though Old Extreme Yin had also heard of Happy’s reputation, the youth was still just someone from the younger generation, and by the looks of it, his presence was very normal.

‘How dare he call me a horrid old man?!’

He instantly began laughing coldly.

“I’d like to see just how strong are the youngsters nowadays that makes them dare interfere in everything that we do!”

When Happy heard that, he turned around to look at him.

“And I was thinking about witnessing your abilities, OLD MAN.”

When Old Extreme Yin heard the words Happy emphasized, his face instantly filled with cold and fierce killing intent.
