Sword Among Us

“Do you remember what you promised me when we came here? This time, you have to listen to everything that I have to say about the quest. Please, leave first.”

The situation was urgent. Happy did not have the time to think, and his tone allowed no argument!

Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling looked at each other, and they no longer hesitated. “If that’s the case, take care of yourself, brother!”

Once they finished speaking, they turned around and rushed into the enemy fray. They traveled on the path they came from and forced their way through. They were now prepared to get out of the encirclement through brute force.

They were two Myth Realm elites, and they had Immortality Art providing endless qi to them. Four spiral forces rammed into the crowd, and regardless of whether they were normal Mongolian cavaliers, 100-man commanders, or 1,000-man commanders, they were all unable to stand up against Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling. They screamed in pain and fell off their horses. In an instant, the duo advanced dozens of feet forward and forcibly slaughtered their way out.

“How dare you?!”

Empress Yin’s gaze turned cold. She moved like lightning and shot toward Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling.

At the same time, Wan Wan and Xi Yin acted at the same time. They dashed above the crowd and chased after Xu Zhiling as well as Kuo Zhong. Only Demon General Zhao Deyan stayed still on the spot. There was a confident smile on his face while he stared at Happy being surrounded by an army of ten thousand soldiers.

“If you surrender, I can spare you death.”

He spoke in the manner of someone superior and stood above all else in the world, giving off a domineering air as if he was in control of everything, which in turn caused others to feel a great pressure from them.

It was no wonder why he felt this way.

Right now, Empress Yin had personally taken action. She brought the Priest and Wan Wan to chase after Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling, and as for Happy, he was surrounded completely, and he had a powerful enemy he cannot hope to win against eyeing him hostilely. Demon General Zhao Deyan had the right to say those arrogant words.

However…

“Wan Wan, go back.”

Empress Yin’s shout and Wan Wan’s slightly bitter voice came from the back of the army. “Mistress…”

“Enough with the nonsense. I do know that you have feelings for this boy. If you still treat me as your mistress, then go back and bring that boy’s head to me. Then, perhaps I will spare Xu Zhiling’s life.”

A thought appeared in Happy’s heart. Happy had already “seen” Wan Wan helping Xu Zhiling multiple times in the dark. Now, she was rebuked and sent back by Zhu Yuyan to come over to this place.

Everyone knew that Wan Wan had feelings for Xu Zhiling. Empress Yin was also able to tell that Wan Wan was secretly planning to create a chance for them to leave this place, which was why she sent Wan Wan to this place.

At that moment, Happy immediately felt as if an incredibly fierce gaze lock on his body.

A chill immediately crept down his spine.

Just as he expected, Wan Wan vented her resentment on Happy. “Hmph! Yesterday, I let you leave, but you still dared to come here? I’d like to see how you can possibly escape from my hand.”

She no longer spoke politely. When she saw that Xu Zhiling was in grave danger, Wan Wan decided to hate Happy, who was the cause for Xu Zhiling to be in danger.

But Happy was not bothered by it.

When he noticed the powerful palm-generated wind coming at him, Happy scowled, and within hesitation, he turned his body to the side and executed two attacks with his fingers at the same time.

Zhao Deyan was originally grinning while he stood at a high spot and was prepared to be entertained, which was why he was not prepared for Wan Wan’s palm-generated wind and the two finger-generated wind to charge at him. His expression changed immediately. “You’re young, but you sure are diabolical.”

When he finished speaking, he jumped up and avoided the palm-generated wind.

Bang!

The yurt behind him was instantly yanked off the ground by a powerful palm-generated wind. Sacks of food supplies were revealed in front of Happy and countless Mongolian soldiers.

Thud! Thud!

Against Zhao Deyan’s expectations, the two finger-generated wind swiftly turned down, and within a moment, the sacks containing the food supplies exploded with a bang, and the food supplies flew everywhere.

Zhao Deyan was shocked and enraged!

“You brat!” He was only able to tell at that moment that Happy’s goal was not him, but he wanted to use Wan Wan’s palm-generated wind to attack the food supplies in the yurt.

‘I knew it…’

Happy relaxed in his heart.

Originally, when he noticed that Zhao Deyan, Xi Yin, and Wan Wan appeared in this place, he wondered whether this was a trap that the evil cult deliberately planted and questioned whether there was really supplies placed in the yurt in front of him. Right now, he completely understood the situation.

Even though the evil cult did set up a trap in this place, the Mongolian army still stored their supplies here.

When he saw Zhao Deyan pouncing over in anger, Happy was not afraid. Instead, he smiled.

Even though there were countless enemies around him, when they were engaged in a battle of this level, normal fighters can no longer interfere with the fight.

Zhao Deyan’s First Soul Returning Claw came at an aggressive momentum and pounced at his face.

Happy did not retreat, but advanced!

He was not afraid of Zhao Deyan attacking in this situation! In fact, he was afraid that Zhao Deyan will not attack him!

As long as Zhao Deyan attacked, he will have the chance to set fire on the supplies!

Moon in Well!

He activated the aura, and his abilities increased by ten percent!

‘Fourth style in Moon in Well, Strategy!’

The effect of a technique from a Myth Realm elite, which was created specifically to kill Myth Realm elites, instantly showed itself.

Zhao Deyan’s claw tore through Happy’s body, but he widened his eyes. A hint of disbelief, surprise, and anger flashed briefly in his eyes, but before he can turn around, his Dragon Saber had already cut viciously into his cloak, which was almost as sturdy as metal.

Boom!

Due to Zhao Deyan looking down on his enemy, he was knocked back by Happy with just one saber slash.

At the moment his momentum was blocked, Zhao Deyan found himself unable to believe his own eyes.

A brat with a low qi realm had actually won in an exchange of blows against him.

“Eight Skills from the Well!” When Wan Wan caught up, she saw through the background of Happy’s saber technique, and she could not help but blurt out those words.

“What weapon is that?!”

Zhao Deyan stared at the saber in Happy’s hand. It had dragon marks protruding on it, and it was filled with a mighty, domineering air. He had been just in time to catch a simple but sentient light slash past him. A surprised look flashed in his eyes before he resolutely tore down the cloak.

The cloak was ripped off.

His armor, which had never been damaged even after going through hundreds of battles in war, had a terrifying gash left behind by a saber on it, and that gash was on his back. Even though it was not deep, it was enough to make Zhao Deyan understand the power in Happy’s Dragon Saber. It had to be known that this armor can increase his abilities by a few degrees, and it was an important factor behind while he can become the third strongest among the eight elites in the evil cult.

“Once I kill you, that weapon of yours is mine.” Once Zhao Deyan got over his shock, he mumbled quietly, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes.

However, right when he just started having a smile form on his lips, Happy’s next action made his smile completely freeze.

While he was still completely surrounded by enemies, Happy moved back in a seemingly unbothered fashion and landed on the yurt filled with food supplies. He also brought out a black item releasing the smell of saltpeter and sulphur.

“Stop!”

Happy was the one who said those words. It rang clearly through every corner of the camp. The one word he said seemed to contain ice magic that made Empress Yin and the Priest freeze in their tracks while they chased after Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling. It even caused the countless Mongolian warriors in the camp to stop moving. “Your food supplies will be completely done for once this item drops into the supplies.

“Empress Yin, Priest, you’re both seniors of the world of martial artists. You should know the origins of Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet, yes?”

“STOP!”

As the military adviser, Zhao Deyan naturally knew just how important the supplies were for the army. When he saw Happy bring out a Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet while he stood among the food supplies, cold sweat instantly rolled down his forehead.

Empress Yin, the Priest, and Wan Wan stopped moving, and they turned their heads around to look at Happy.

“Young Master Zhong, Young Master Ling, why are you still standing there?! Go to the stables and get your horses! Leave!” Happy shouted with a resigned expression.

He had no choice, the system had just given him a notification that he was to ensure the duo’s safety and make sure they shook off Empress Yin’s pursuit.
