Sword Among Us

Chapter 748: Uneasy Presence

Assassin Hall’s master, Tang Feng clearly remembered that when he first met Happy, he was ranked at the third of Dragon Rank at that time, and he was highly regarded at that time. He had forced Happy to wear his Golden Armor and fight with his full strength.

Even though he did not manage to become one of the greatest players in the Chinese server, that battle replay still had a lot of views.

It was also Tang Feng’s proudest battle replay!

However, during their second meeting, Tang Feng could clearly remember that at that time, he already did not dare to fight against Happy head on. When it came to one on one, he did not have any hope in winning at all.

During then, Happy might not have done anything as shocking as killing Zhou Yu with just three moves, but he still revealed the madness he had burning underneath all that grace and elegance!

Blue-robed Noble Sword User had his name spread through the game because of the battles at Baokang and also for being the first person to be able to defeat Class One Hall while they launched their assault.

But now, when Tang Feng saw Happy and especially remembered how he had killed multiple people with one slash while the attacks from the Class One Hall members around him could not even catch up to him, he could not help but shudder.

Fear, excitement, and anticipation mixed together to form a very complicated emotion, and at that moment, that complicated emotion surged through Tang Feng’s body madly!

Happy’s strength had already reached a state where he could never hope to reach.

Even though he kept to a defensive stance right from the start to the end of the battle at Mount Tai, he still displayed dazzling abilities, especially when he executed the finger strike at the end that changed everything!

But…

If Happy had continuously held back his abilities at the battle at Mount Tai and only showed his abilities at the final moment to create a scene no one can ever forget, then the current Happy was like a sharp sword that did not hide its sharpness at all.

In the blink of an eye, nearly one hundred Assassin Hall elites were sent sprawling on the ground like leaves blown off a tree. They did not have the ability to fight back at all…

He set up the auto record function!

The elites of Assassin Hall had their weapons flash about. With their blood and lives, they created a path of death for Happy to tread about domineeringly and fiercely!

Tang Feng enjoyed this feeling while his entire body shuddered.

The stronger Happy was, the more excited he was!

Because that meant that the value of his battle replay will be higher!

This was what he needed.

Even if all five hundred Assassin Hall elites died in this place, it was worth it!

*****

Assassin Hall’s ambush caused Happy to be incredibly angry. He used his momentum to charge into the forest and vent his anger as well as his killing intent.

Once Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style entered the eighth realm, his speed also gained a terrifying increase. The damage in each slash reached a frightening 34,000 points, and even if someone had a defense worth ten thousand points in front of him, Happy could still pierce through that person’s heart with one thrust.

But he could not afford to delay matters at Yangzhou City.

Happy only wanted to kill these people as fast as possible so that he can be on his way.

Hence, he could not bother about anything else. He continuously activated Petite Dragon and avoided the attacks from the Assassin Hall elites all around him while he killed the enemies around him quickly.

The group of Mu Clan elites who followed closely behind Happy were already dumbfounded.

They had just rushed into the forest, but the road ahead of them had already entered a bloody battlefield that was covered in corpses.

Whole corpses were strewn all over the place. Each person only suffered at most two slashes, and most of them had been stabbed to death before they even had the time to activate their body fortifications.

These Mu Clan disciples fell into silence, sucked in sharp breaths, and looked at each other with wide eyes.

They could now somewhat understand what Happy told them on the road.

Indeed, just because one side the power of numbers, that did not mean they held the authority in the world of martial artists!

In less than three minutes, the ambush group from Assassin Hall were all killed, and a horrifyingly bloody red extended from the government-made road into the forest, and it went 328 feet deep within the forest. Beside this bloody road were Assassin Road elites, and their faces were pale while they retreated without stopping.

At least two hundred corpses decorated the road from where Happy came from.

“Tang Feng, are you going to continue running with your tail in between your legs?”

Happy did not choose to continue chasing him down. His voice just spread out from the forest.

The reactions from those in Assassin Hall caused him to be slightly surprised.

Logically speaking, Assassin Hall was a high-class organization specializing in ambushes. They did the dirty business of setting traps and harming people behind their backs. They will not do attack head on like this.

But even though their hiding place was revealed and they lost half their men, the people from Assassin Hall still did not run after they lost their will to fight.

Happy said nothing. A faint hint of suspicion quickly grew in Happy’s heart and spread out. He looked around himself, and when he looked over the Assassin Hall elites, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even when they faced Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style at eighth realm and were in an absolute disadvantage where half of their people were instantly killed, while they looked alarmed, there was clearly something ruthless hidden under their actions.

Their morale had not been destroyed.

Happy said nothing. He frowned, and he finally felt a faint hint of unease.

He did not dare to be negligent. He began executing Nine Yang Divine Skill madly, and his spiritual senses spread out completely for him to detect any abnormalities around him.

‘Hmm?’

When Nine Yang Divine Skill spread out, just as expected, Happy noticed that there were faint bumps underground currently moving about and heading toward him from the crowd.

They used the corpses all over the place as their cover and quickly drew closer.

‘Fleeing Art?’ Happy scowled, but the uneasiness in his heart faded slightly.

Even if Assassin Hall worked together with someone skilled with Fleeing Art or with Japanese ninjas, they were not much of a threat to him.

“Kill them!”

They seemed to have noticed that Happy had discovered them, and the elites from Assassin Hall noticed that the situation was bad. They offered no explanation to this and attacked at the same time by pouncing on Happy while facing death without blinking.

They did not react too slowly.

But in Happy’s eyes, they were slow. He flicked his wrist, and his longsword came out of its sheath with a clang! A startling sword light was drawn, and the people at the front row had their true qi freeze at the same time.

Thud!

They paused in their movements, and blood gushed out from their chests. The blood that spilled out sprayed more than sixty-five feet away.

Happy’s expression did not change.

While he attacked with the sword, he calmly observed the small earth bumps that were swiftly getting closer to him from underground. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

‘What a low-class Fleeing Art, looks like there’s no doubt about it, they’re Japanese ninjas.’

Thud!

A few cold glares shot out from under his feet. At the instant the dirt on the ground also flew up, Happy moved ahead of them and spun around before he jumped up. The sword light that shot out everywhere tore all four people who jumped out into shreds. They did not have any protection from their body fortifications, and their bodies were no stronger than rags under Happy’s sword.

But right when their bodies were shredded, Happy clearly saw that right when these people died, a large layer of black fog suddenly shot out of these ninjas’ bodies.

His field of vision was instantly shrouded in black fog!

Happy was slightly shocked, but he became calm very soon, because high-levelled players will not be affected by this sort of low-levelled diversionary tactic. Besides, he still had his spiritual senses around.

But at that moment, a black object was suddenly thrown at him from the crowd. It was a small bullet, and it was very inconspicuous.

If this item were a hidden weapon, it was clearly not sharp enough, and it was slightly slower than any other conventional hidden weapon as well.

But when the item entered Happy’s sights, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His pupils shrank a little.

Boom!

When that black bullet approached the area shrouded with black fog,it instantly exploded.

An astonishing explosion that formed a huge impact spread out and threw more than two hundred elites in the area off their feet. No one was able to remain standing!

At the same time the explosion rose, a large sea of fire touched the black fog, and as if it ran into flammable gas, it instantly turned into a huge flame cloud that enveloped a circular area of dozens of feet!

The Mu Clan elites who rushed over were forced to retreat by the heat wave that came charging at their faces.
