Sword Among Us

Whoosh!

Phoenix Dances avoided Dream Clouds’ Flame Cloud Saber, which she executed to test her skills. Then, she dexterously turned around and charged forward with short and swift footsteps to quickly reduce the distance between them until they were now so incredibly close to each other that it was dangerous for both of them. She flung the golden saber horizontally.

A saber glare exploded forth!

‘Perfect timing.’

Dream Clouds did not panic. She moved away and gave away her chance to attack right then, but at the same time, she prepared to use a palm-generated wind to drain Phoenix Dances’ qi…

“You fell into my trap!”

But in the end, Phoenix Dances only laughed in a very abnormal manner and switched her tactic midway through. Just when Dream Clouds avoided the saber glare, the light on the saber dimmed before an astonishing presence shot up from Phoenix Dances’ body. She stopped swinging her golden saber a little before she switched from a horizontal slash to a vertical slash!

At the same time, a powerful force shot out from the golden saber, and Dream Clouds, who had been certain that she will definitely succeed in her attack, froze a little in her movements!

‘This is bad!’

Her expression changed, and it was only then that Dream Clouds noticed that not only was the golden saber a little strange, but Phoenix Dances’ saber technique was not any normal technique. It seemed to contain some sort of strange suction force.

Even though she had only froze for a moment, if she froze at the moment the saber force was about to hit, it will be very dangerous.

It might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but it actually transpired in one single breath. Without even thinking, Dream Clouds used her right hand as a saber, and her dark gold chain gloves went striking the fatal golden saber with a scorching heat.

Boom!

A loud bang rose. Dream Clouds’ body flew outwards.

The attack executed by the golden saber was not very domineering, but the aggression contained in it was enough to make Dream Clouds feel an instant of sharp pain.

And she had even suffered a setback when she hastily switched her attack. She had to use the momentum to retreat and widen the distance between them to prevent the situation just now from happening again.

Phoenix Dances did not want to miss such a good chance to give chase.

She chased after Dream Clouds like a shadow!

The golden saber shone brilliantly, and it pushed forward like a turbine, dragging in everything madly in its wake.

Dream Clouds had a stern expression on her face. While she used the momentum to widen the distance between them, she also quickly attacked with her palms to negate the saber glares that came chasing after her!

Both of them moved at a similar speed. Dream Clouds could not shake Phoenix Dances away, and Phoenix Dances also could not reduce the distance between them to zero…

But Phoenix Dances did not act in haste either. She continued to push forward, though she did so by taking each step forward carefully.

In the beginning, Dream Clouds did not find it a problem. She only counted her lucky stars because she managed to get out of trouble. She thought. ‘Phoenix Dances is indeed just a normal student, she’s still not ruthless enough.’

The situation just now could actually determine her life and death because of her momentary negligence and because of her being caught off guard.

But a pity for Phoenix Dances, because she already lost the chance.

With how cautious Dream Clouds was, she will naturally not let this mistake happen a second time.

But as time passed, both people had already exchanged more than fifty moves in their chase. Phoenix Dances showed no signs of running out of energy and still retained her momentum. She seemed to have an endless amount of qi for her to use, and she will not decline the responsibility of using it to attack Dream Clouds.

Dream Clouds laughed coldly in her heart.

Attacks Like Phoenix Dances’, where her saber glares were revealed, will make her use up qi that was several times what Dream Clouds used. Once she ran out of energy, it will be time for Dream Clouds to turn the tides.

“I’d like to see how you’ll handle the situation later.”

Phoenix Dances said nothing. She did not care about what Dream Clouds was hinting. She just continued chasing after Dream Clouds and used her saber glares to restrain Dream Clouds’ movements while forcing her to attack to parry her attacks.

Very soon, they exchanged more than one hundred moves!

Slap!

A piercing sound of metal shattering rose.

Dream Clouds’ expression changed swiftly. She felt her hands becoming lighter. Her dark gold chain gloves had shattered out of the blue, and the attack she had been preparing for was suddenly thrown to the air because she could not control her swing.

Phoenix Dances smiled.

Under such a frequent wave of abuse from Great Saber Breaker Art, the weapon in Dream Clouds’ hands finally shattered completely. Compared to her killing Dream Clouds and making her lose all her points, it was clear that destroying her fourth-echelon divine weapon while she was completely unaware of it was much easier.

Dream Clouds reacted very quickly.

At the moment her chain gloves broke and shattered, she turned her hand around and grabbed a tri-colored longsword enveloped by a phantasmal color from her Universe Bag.

Boom!

But no matter what, the matter happened too suddenly. Even if she brought out her longsword, she still could not avoid being hit by Phoenix Dances’ slash. Her longsword shuddered madly, and she was sent flying away with her weapon because of the shock.

This time, Phoenix Dances did not continue chasing after her.

Phoenix Dances stared at Dream Clouds, whose face was pale but did not show a hint of panic. She came to a firm stop and quickly brought out a small, jade green medicinal pill from her Universe Bag. While she stuffed it into her mouth, she stared at Dream Clouds’ longsword, which now had a small chip in it because of Phoenix Dances’ attack.

This longsword was clearly not a divine weapon, and it was only a normal fourth-echelon grade one masterpiece.

In her haste, she had to suffer a full-powered strike from Great Saber Breaker Art, and the results were instantaneous! Her longsword was chipped straightaway, and the valuable fourth-echelon weapon was damaged just like that.

Based on how Dream Clouds turned pale and scowled after she looked at her sword, Phoenix Dances was certain that Dream Clouds was definitely not in a good mood right now.

“What a good saber technique…” Dream Clouds stopped thirty-two feet away and sucked in a sharp breath before she slowly raised her head. She said slowly and coldly, “I did not expect that you, a little girl who lost to Class One Hall in the past and could not even win against one of my subordinates will move straight into the ranks of a top-class elite in the game right now. You have truly broadened my horizons. Happy is truly Class One Hall’s greatest enemy in our lives.”

This was a martial art that could destroy even a fourth-echelon divine weapon, and there was no doubt that this was an ultimate technique. Phoenix Dances could indeed live up to Dream Clouds’ evaluation.

Phoenix Dances showed how ungrateful she was to Dream Clouds’ praise by rolling her eyes. She then enunciated her words clearly with a grave tone, “On the day Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed, I swore in my heart that I will definitely make Class One Hall pay with their blood. Dream Clouds, your era is about to come to an end.”

“Says who? You?” When she heard this, a cold look flashed in Dream Clouds’ eyes, and it was as if frost covered her face. “A person’s death is nothing, and no matter how strong a person is, no one can control World of Martial Arts. There are certain things where a girl like you won’t be able to tell.”

Phoenix Dances said nothing, but she could hear the mocking tone in Dream Clouds’ words. She snorted coldly from her nose and mocked her back without backing down in the slightest. “If that’s the case, I hope that you will give this university girl a chance to continue listening to your lectures, senior.”

“Aren’t you articulate?” Dream Clouds shouted in anger while her expression remained as cold as ice. She flicked her wrist.

A sharp white glare shot out of Dream Clouds’ hands!

It was a snow-white throwing knife!

A snow-white light charged past Phoenix Dances’ forehead so quickly that before Phoenix Dances could react to it, a tragically beautiful trail of blood trickled down her forehead.

“Phoenix Dances!”

Dream Clouds and Phoenix Dances’ fight had always been Class One Hall and Mu Clan’s main focus since the start of the battle.

Phoenix Dances had caused Mu Clan’s morale to be largely boosted when she managed to continuously gain the upper hand in the situation, but they did not expect that Phoenix Dances will suddenly die, and no one was able to tell just how Dream Clouds attacked either.

“Phoenix Dances!”

When they saw Phoenix Dances’ corpse slowly fall in front of Dream Clouds, enraged shouts rose and fell on the battlefield.

The people from Class One Hall instantly felt a wave of pressure crash into their faces.

Dream Clouds cast a cold glance at Phoenix Dances’ gradually blurring corpse. “I’ve mentioned before that there are many things that you won’t be able to touch at your level.”

Right when she finished speaking, the sound of robes fluttering rapidly in the air rose.

In the next second, a familiar figure that made Dream Clouds’ pupils shrink appeared near Phoenix Dances’ corpse, and that figure gradually became clear.

Dream Clouds practically instinctively seized a snow-white throwing knife in her Universe Bag, and she hid it in her sleeve without batting an eyelid…
