Sword Among Us

“Don’t let her run!”

“After her! Capture her and go back for rewards!”

Yu Yan was chased around by a group of Mongolian cavaliers on the plains until she entered a small battlefield.

The group of fierce Mongolian cavaliers were like a pack of evil hounds who chased behind Yu Yan. While they shouted, they tried to surround her.

Unfortunately, Yu Yan was a very vigilant person. While she shifted about to maintain a set distance with her closest enemy, the demonic blade in her hands kept on executing different moves. Saber light and sword shadows were executed by one person alone, and one among the dozens of Mongolian cavaliers behind her will die once every few seconds.

If Happy saw this at this moment, he will definitely gasp in amazement.

Yu Yan was becoming more and more familiar with her attacks.

Her robes danced about, and she moved around like an elf in front of the enemy army. The demonic blade in her hands will turn into a saber at one moment, then a sword in the next. Her techniques changed constantly, and she could execute them at will!

When saber glares appeared, the momentum was astonishing, fierce, and domineering. They were filled with an aura that could destroy everything.

Every time she killed someone and her opponents could begin predicting her next move, she will not be in a hurry to increase the distance between them. Instead, she will either slash or thrust at them using the momentum of her previous attack to cut into the throat or stab a vital of the Mongolian cavalier beside her.

She continuously attacked, and a continuous stream of corpses were left behind her. Half of more than sixty Mongolian men died because of Yu Yan’s kiting.

But Yu Yan did not notice that while she was enjoying kiting and getting points, two cavaliers appeared on a small slope some miles away.

Their breathing was long, and when they arrived at the slope, they immediately noticed the chaotic firelight as well as the large group of Mongolian cavaliers in the distance.

The dim light caused no one to be able to see their faces, but based on their physique, they were definitely not Mongolian armored cavaliers.

Those two people observed from above the slope, and one of them suddenly said, “Looks like most of them are our people, and there aren’t many enemies. I reckon that the enemies were on a mission to infiltrate our base, but were discovered by our reconnoiterers. There’s nothing interesting about it.”

These two had actually been attracted to the place by the signal flare just now and had deliberately come over here to investigate the situation, but since they were too far away, they could not see the situation clearly. They thought that the people from the plains were already killed, and they had no interest in the situation.

“But since we’re already here, we might as well go and take a look. We might be able to get some kills.”

“Hey, they’re actually still fighting. Alright. Let’s go and take a look.”

Those two tugged at their reins and quietly sped to the battlefield, where sparks were flying everywhere.

*****

Whoosh!

Thud thud!

Arrows flew in the air. When they approached Happy’s body, all of them will leave their original course. Under Happy’s control, they will fly everywhere, and all of them will stab into the Mongolian men’s bodies around him.

‘There’s no mistaking it. This is the feeling.’

After executing Shifting Stars a few times, the Mongolian cavaliers around him were all killed. Nearly two hundred corpses were piled up everywhere in the area. There was no longer any place for him to walk on the ground. The only Mongolians remaining in the battlefield were those who still drew their bows and nocked their arrows not too far in the distance. Their faces were pale and sour, and they stared at Happy as if they were looking at a monster.

But it was no wonder why they reacted this way. After all, every time they fired their arrows, the arrows will never land on their enemy, but will instead pierce through their companions’ bodies.

There seemed to be some kind of strange power protecting this person that caused him to not be injured by arrows. Later on, they did not even see this person attack. He only used arrows to kill their companions, and those arrows all came from them!

While those Mongolian cavaliers were still daydreaming, Happy had already digested the experience he gained from the fight just now.

‘There’s no mistaking it. This is the profound secret of Shifting Stars. I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me… But the “you” mentioned is not the same as the “you” I think it is. Just as I thought, I can change my target as I please, and if that’s the case, the flexibility in this technique is very great.’

Even though Shifting Stars had certain requirements toward qi when it was used, Nine Yang Divine Skill could compensate a part of the large amount of qi he used if he continuously utilized this ultimate technique. Besides, his qi realm had already reached Moksha Realm. He will only be unable to use Shifting Stars if he fell below Life and Death Realm.

With Happy’s current total amount of qi, he can use it continuously for nearly one minute.

Right now, the effect of this one minute was that he could use the Mongolian cavaliers and kill nearly two hundred Mongolian cavaliers who lost their steeds!

Happy thought. ‘Shifting Stars is indeed the best weapon in group fights. It can protect the user and kill. As long as the user has enough qi, he or she will basically be invincible, but that is only if they did not run into Myth Realm elites.’

While he thought about this, the Mongolian cavaliers instantly snapped out of their shock. A clear and deep order rose from the group. “Put away your bows and arrows, form your formations and charge at him!”

The Mongolian cavaliers, numbering to more than two hundred of them, quickly responded to the order. They quickly gathered together from their formerly spread out formation. Their bows and arrows were put away, and they brought out scimitars and axes that shone with chilling glares from their waists.

Happy could see clearly, and hence, he found the Mongolian cavalier who gave the order from the group with just one glance.

He was built like a giant, and his arm was about the size of a person’s waist. He held a large double-bladed axe, and he gave off an intimidating presence. The man’s steed also gave off an astonishing presence. It was a large beast decked in metallic scale armor. There was even sharp metallic horns on its head, and it gave off the feeling that it was not a horse, but a monster.

‘100-man commander? Or a 1,000-man commander?’

When he saw this person, Happy was slightly shocked, but he still felt his heart race.

Because when the enemy’s rank was higher, the more points he will get.

A 100-man commander will get him two hundred points, and a 1,000-man commander will get him five hundred points. If he killed them, he will gain an even greater sense of achievement compared to killing normal Mongolian cavaliers.

There were only dozens of feet between them. Both sides instantly closed in on each other!

The momentum formed by two hundred or so cavaliers when they launched a charge might not be as great as a large cavalier unit, but it was still enough to make a person feel intimidated, and they will also feel greatly pressured.

Happy originally wanted to use Shifting Stars to get rid of all of them, but at that moment, he had to get rid of his thought to continue using Shifting Stars, because the physical impact from a close-range attack was very bothersome.

Rumble! Rumble!

Te faced the cavaliers’ charge once more, and this time, he cannot use arrows to help him. Even Happy frowned a little at the situation. His eyes sparkled, and he swung his sword once calmly before he quickly put away his weapon and switched to the fourth-echelon Heavenly Silk King Ice Gloves.

The dozens of Mongolian cavaliers in front of him felt their steeds lowering their bodies a little, and by then, they were already flung off by a powerful inertia.

At the moment they landed, they could hear the pained neighs from their steeds clearly, a signal that their legs had been cut off.

“ROAR!”

A dragon’s roar rose at the same time.

Happy tapped against the ground, and his arms brought with them a mighty dragon-shaped vortex as he charged into the enemy formation without hesitation.

Even though it was difficult to use fist techniques in the battlefield, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was different from other martial arts. It was a skill that became stronger the longer the user used it in a single battle! The tremendous damage contained in it was rather astonishing.

With Wind Spirit Spin, Happy easily crushed two Mongolians’ heads. He moved, and with one Petite Dragon, he avoided several snow white scimitars coming at his neck.

After all, the reactions of Mongolian cavaliers were refined and trained from multiple life and death situations. In fact, their reaction time was even greater than the martial artists. If their enemy showed even the slightest pause, they will have multiple people attack one single person. At that moment, Happy could only use Petite Dragon to be able to move around at ease in their formation.

But Happy will not let them have such an easy time!

Boom!

He approached one of them, and a huge force gushed out from his palms. One Mongolian cavalier’s steed let out a shrill and panicked neigh.

Crash!

More than ten cavaliers fell to the ground.

The two Mongolian cavaliers who rushed over here from the distance were just in time to see this scene, and they widened their eyes swiftly!
