Sword Among Us

The great elder was a powerful Inaction Realm martial artist who had hidden his name for decades, which was why he was not famous. Right then though, right before Happy and the others’ eyes, he fell to the ground while covered in blood!

Bang!

The evil cult great elder’s death made Happy sigh for him.

From what he knew from his previous life, this quest should be a once in a lifetime quest, for the evil cult great elder had never appeared. He had strength that was equivalent to that of Master Kong Xiang, but he did not manage to display his splendor in the game. He just died quietly in a tunnel within Sky Demon Secret Cave, and no one would ever know about it.

Happy said nothing. He just looked up and stared at the square piece of sky above his head before he sucked in a deep breath.

“Little North, pick up the loot. Let’s see what we have.”

“Alright, boss!”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone hated looting the dead, but Little North loved doing it, so when he heard the go-ahead, he rushed over excitedly and groped about the evil cult great elder’s corpse.

“Whew, look what we have here! A low-grade divine weapon, Sky Breaker Sound!”

Little North’s surprised shout attracted everyone’s attention, and they looked over with delight. They all smiled at the staff that Little North took out from the Universe Bag.

“We finally got some decent loot.”

“Yeah, with this weapon, we cannot be said to have come here in vain.”

Happy nodded slowly. As of then, grade one masterpieces were no longer enough for elites, but the number of divine weapons in the game was still very small. Their creation rate was also very low, which was something different from masterpieces.

Since their attributes were stronger by one fold compared to grade one masterpieces, refined divine weapons were priceless in the market. Various refined grade one masterpieces dropped in value and began to show signs of having a stable price, but rare divine weapons were still sold at exorbitant prices, and no one could shake their position.

For example, Little North’s fourth-echelon demon vessel, Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm, was only slightly weaker compared to divine weapons, and there were already people who offered a billion and five hundred million taels of silver in the black market to buy it…

If it were not for the fact that Little North had amazing strength, could somewhat be considered as a top-class player who could stand on his own, and had a top-class sect like Mu Clan supporting him, there would have been a lot of people willing to hunt him down.

But even an unrefined low-grade divine weapon was worth a hundred million! When converted, it was about four million RMB!

“That’s not all, right?”

Little North brought out a few more items from the Universe Bag. The martial art manuals alone numbered to three. There was one Sky Demon Order, an Origin Leopard Pill, along with quite a few gold ingots and grade one masterpieces.

“This man’s wallet sure is fat.”

Happy could not hold himself back from walking over. He took the three martial art manuals and took a look at them.

The others also went up to him.

It would have been better if they did not see them, but once they did, they sucked in sharp breaths.

An incomplete Sky Demon Slip!

The first manual already caused everyone’s hearts to go cold.

The attributes of the skill were incredibly domineering.

Happy was the one who held the manual, and once he read the information of Sky Demon Slip, even he could not help but shudder, and he was nearly unable to hold the slip.

[Incomplete Sky Demon Slip:

[Once ten incomplete Sky Demon Slips are gathered, a complete Sky Demon Slip can be obtained, and the owner of it will be able to practice the evil cult’s supreme Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art.]

Silence fell among the group.

Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art had always been the source of bloodshed in the world of martial arts. It was a supreme manual from the evil cult that both the righteous and evil paths fought for.

The requirements to practice it were incredibly strict!

On top of that, those who had an incomplete Sky Demon Slip could sense the whereabouts of the other slips at all times, so brutal fights for them never ended. Hence, those who had them never survived for long in the world of martial artists.

The Sky Demon Slip in Happy’s hand was one of the incomplete slips Shi Zhixuan had deliberately left behind in Sky Demon Secret Cave to attract the owners of the other Sky Demon Slips.

The rumors about Sky Demon Slip were known by everyone all too well. Those who were not strong enough should put down the Sky Demon Slip they found and leave if they did not want to bring slaughter to their doorstep. If they did not bring it with them, they would be fine.

Upon seeing the slip, even Silver Wolf, who had always been calm, turned a little pale. He could not help but cast Happy a worried glance!

Shi Zhixuan!

He was a person in Myth Realm!

The meaning of it was very clear…

Those who had Sky Demon Slips would be chased by peerless martial artists!

Happy scowled. He hesitated for a long time before he sighed and threw away the Sky Demon Slip that countless martial artists would envy.

Thud!

The Sky Demon Slip fell into the dust after being cast away…

Even though Silver Wolf and the others sighed at how readily Happy threw the slip away, they knew that with their current strength, if they had a Sky Demon Slip in their hands, they would end up with a load of trouble.

But Happy thought farther ahead of them.

Even though he had just killed an Inaction Realm martial artist, he knew Shi Zhixuan’s strength clearly, and he was not someone who was at the same caliber as the others.

The difference between them was like night and day!

The game had been in operation for three years in his previous life, and no one had managed to touch those who were in Myth Realm. Besides, he could not even be certain of Shi Zhixuan’s real strength since no one dared to offend this fiend.

In Happy’s previous life, as the players’ strength continued increasing, they began challenging those who were famous!

But there were a few people who remained nightmarish in everyone’s hearts even when they went around fighting various NPCs!

One of them was Shi Zhixuan, and the other was Zhu Yuyan!

Some people kept the Sky Demon Slips, but their whole sects were destroyed for it. Corpses were strewn all over the land because of people seeking Sky Demon Slips.

Happy might have been tempted by and curious about Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed, but he would not risk everything he had right then for the supreme ultimate technique from the evil cult.

Sky Demon Slip was something that no player could safely possess.

Happy looked away from the Sky Demon Slip in the dust and returned his gaze to the other two martial art manuals in his hand.

Fortunately, they were not as troublesome and had very practical benefits.

One of them was the evil cult great elder’s prided martial art, Heavenly Sound Staff Technique. It was a martial art that only those in Moksha Realm could learn, but the benefits as well as disadvantages of it could not be seen, so it would be very difficult to sell it.

That left only one manual.

It was a Life and Death Realm high-tier body fortification manual—Arhat Body!

[Arhat Body: Body fortification manual

[Practice Requirements: AFF: 150, CPH: 100, AST: 150, Qi Realm: Life and Death Realm, at least one high-tier body fortification at Grandmaster Realm.]

“Life and Death Realm high-tier body fortification manual? That’s rare.”

Little North wiped off the drool from the corners of his mouth and clicked his tongue. “Damn it, the practice requirements are so high! One hundred Comprehension?! What the heck… Affinity one hundred and fifty… Arm Strength one hundred and fifty… Does it want my life or something?!”

But he could not be blamed for not being able to wait to show his attitude toward the situation.

Life and Death Realm martial art manuals were only dropped by Moksha Realm NPCs. There were also some clan quests that gave them as rewards, but they were all very hard, and it was rare for those quests to provide body fortification manuals.

Only certain Inaction Realm martial artists would drop them…

As of then, Life and Death Realm body fortifications were said to be able to ignore the normal attacks from Life and Death Realm martial artists, so their defense was incredibly impressive! Even Mu Clan did not have them in stock, and the only person who could verify that saying was Momo when she used Wind Body!

“My Affinity and Arm Strength aren’t too far away, but my Comprehension… Happy, looks like you’re still the only person who is qualified to practice this.” Silver Wolf laughed wanly. “But that’s good too. Now, the possibility of you winning against One Emperor has become slightly higher.”
