Sword Among Us

Chapter 931: Hunter Clan

Lions and white tigers could be considered as fierce beasts, but once they were domesticated by beast tamers and baptized by medicine, their strength can compare to intelligent beasts.

Even though they cannot compare to Nine-tailed Fox and Hanba [1], their strong physical bodies, bone structures, and Arm Strength belonging to kings of forests were not something normal martial artists can hope to stand up against.

Their Affinity and Arm Strength were above 350 points, and with their absolute advantage in their powerful bodies, they did not have a lot of weaknesses and openings that can be exploited.

The party in front of Happy might not be able to gather together a group of people who had top-class abilities and can fight against the beast tamer and his group of creatures, which was why they settled for the inferior choice of forming a party of trap masters who can instantaneously let loose an explosive force.

However, right now, they were in a perilous situation.

Before he received the call for help, Happy had been eager to size up the white tigers and lions’ strength. He impatiently put away his steed and ran to the two lions on the left.

“Thanks for helping, brother—Don’t!” The team leader was first delighted when he saw the unfamiliar player pounce over without hesitation. But he soon had shock and fear appear on his face. “Careful! Don’t let them get near you—”

That person did not even bring out his weapon. He just charged at those lions.

The party felt their hearts burn in anxiety.

The fleeing trap masters had even begun making preparations to use their hidden weapons to help him.

Those people made themselves busy by running behind the area and setting up traps.

When the group of people cried out in fear, without turning back, Happy went straight up against a lion who opened its mouth wide and breathed out a foul breath in his face.

‘It’s just in Inaction Realm.’

At the moment the claw that can cut down a huge boulder almost touched him, Happy moved to the side and placed his hand on the claw.

Hidden force surged into the lion’s body.

Then, his body miraculously slid under the lion, and he executed a Vajra Lifts a Pillar.

He used his hands and feet together to pull, drag, and subsequently lift the lion.

Even though he was much lighter, he managed to lift the lion off its feet!

The lion’s furious roars turned into panicked wails. Its huge body turned half a circle in the air, and its back then rammed violently against the ground.

Rumble!

The sound of a solid crash practically caused the ground to tremble.

An astonishing wave of air and dust surged outwards.

But that was not all.

With the lion’s Affinity and strength in its body, that fall will not manage to damage its tendons and bones. At most, it only suffered light injuries.

“Roar!” The lion flipped on its feet.

Happy retreated two steps at an even faster speed and was just in time to avoid the lion’s claw when it flipped over.

At that moment, the trap masters behind him were already so shocked that they were dumbfounded.

There were plenty of people who can flip over weights that were much heavier than their own, but due to the agility in these creatures within Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, it was not easy to use that skill.

One, it was because these creatures will not easily reveal any openings when they jumped into the air, and their heavy bodies caused many elites to find it difficult to execute the quintessential part of lifting them off their feet using pure skill.

Their amazing Affinity, threatening Arm Strength, sharp claws, and incredibly jaw strength limited many elites from being able to draw out their strength.

However, when the group saw how Happy managed to lift the lion off its feet in one swift move with his lithe body, there was no way they cannot be shocked.

“Roar!” Once the lion got up to its feet, it moved its legs, and like a train that suddenly sped it, it ran toward Happy with its mouth wide open. Its fangs were already ready to bite down on Happy’s flesh.

Petite Dragon.

Happy laughed when he avoided the lion’s claws by a hair’s breadth. Then, at lightning speed, he seized the lion’s hind leg.

Before the lion can turn its head around to bite him, he used the lion’s inertia while it rushed forward to spin on his legs.

The pitiful lion had very intimate contact with the ground again, and this scene caused even the group of trap masters behind Happy to feel sorry for the creature, because the scene made them feel the terrifying horror of having their faces destroyed.

On the other side, due to Happy holding back the lion, the trap masters managed to use hidden weapons to attack and harass the other lion, and they were still able to control the situation.

Some of them used the opportunity to set up a few traps.

“Hey, friend! You can lure it over now!” Someone called out to Happy.

Happy did not answer him. Instead, when the lion pounced on him the third time, he just sent it crashing against the ground again.

This happened three consecutive times, and each crash was more violent than the last. The lion’s injuries piled on each other, and even the powerful lion found itself unable to deal with the injuries. It was in a daze, and it swayed when it got up. It shook its head a little, and it staggered when it moved.

‘It’s about time now.’

When Happy saw this, he no longer hesitated. He took the initiative to rush forward.

“Roar!” But the lion bit down on air again.

It then turned around and fled, because it seemed to be wary now and wanted to avoid the misfortune of being thrown violently against the ground again.

But this time, Happy clearly did not intend to continue wrestling against it. At the moment the lion retreated, he kicked the lion’s face.

Demon Subduing Vajra Kick.

He moved too quickly!

In an instant, the lion was kicked four times, and it groaned nonstop.

If it were not for the lion’s strong body and great resistance, it might already have its head destroyed a long time ago.

‘How tough!’ Happy’s blood surged.

“Again!”

This was the first time he ran into a beast with such high Affinity, and he cannot hold back his fighting spirit anymore.

The beast’s claw flashed in front of him, then grazed the skin on his face. It missed.

But Happy grinned at the moment of life and death. He struck with one hand, and a hidden force surged into the lion’s body.

During the moment the lion’s power disappeared, he used an Arhat Leans and rolled over the lion’s back. At that same time, he used Thousand Pound Drop.

The poor lion instantly felt its waist sink.

Elbow strike! Chain kicks!

The lion roared in pain again.

In its anger, it opened its mouth wide to bite Happy.

“Be honest and stay still.”

Happy’s fists moved even faster and struck the lion’s nose.

Blood poured out.

A shrill lion’s roar rose, and with various punches and kicks, he managed to force the lion back.

The group of people outside the battlefield were dumbfounded.

It was only then that they noticed that the unfamiliar player whom they called over for help only activated Life and Death Realm when he fought against the lion. However, when he fought head on against the beast, he had the absolute lead.

Everytime the lion counterattacked him, he managed to predict his attacks. Then, he will use the momentum to gain strength, and more fists as well as kick-generated wind will land swiftly on its body.

“Why are you still daydreaming? Hurry up and help!” Injured people had already appeared on the party leader’s side.

The trap masters on Happy’s side finally reacted to the situation. “Lure them over! We’ll set up a few more traps!”

“Alright!”

But at that moment, a whistle rose once more.

It was three long whistles, followed by one short whistle.

Two lions who nearly crashed into the traps instantly stopped moving! They glared at the trap masters fiercely and indignantly before they circumnavigated the traps to pounce against the two tanks and Happy.

Even though that group of people were no longer in danger, their expressions turned even more sour.

With that beast tamer commanding these creatures in the dark, their traps were completely useless!

The two tanks were clearly a little unable to handle the situation, and they were in great danger.

“Careful!”

“Lions!”

Happy had already made the lion in his hands completely dazed, and it was at the last of its breath. When he saw another lion charge at him, his gaze instantly turned cold, and he exerted force in his legs.

Crack!

The neck of the lion under his feet were instantly crushed by a hidden force that surged forth. There was no longer any doubt that the lion was dead.

The beast tamer clearly noticed that another one of his four remaining lions was gone, and he decided to have two of his lions charge over, with one ahead of the other, allowing the other two tanks who were tense to sigh in relief.

Happy will naturally not let those two lions to arrive in front of him, and with one charge, he seized the initiative to attack!

The lion in front felt a blur in front of its eyes before its body was dragged forward by a force that appeared out of nowhere, causing it to fall forward because of inertia. Its feet left the ground.

The world flipped over in its eyes.

Boom!

The ground trembled.

The lion was dazed because of the crash.

Once the lion left his hands, Happy did not even bother to look at it. He sucked in a deep breath, exerted force in his legs, and charged without stopping at the second lion.

He did the same thing.

However, when he threw the second lion, he had a target in mind to hit—the first lion that was about to crawl up from the ground.

The first lion was terrified when a black object came flying at it right when it got up from the ground.

It quickly dodged.

Bang!

The ground trembled.

It did not have the time to observe its companion’s injuries. The first lion bared its sharp fangs and pounced on Happy.

Happy lifted it off its feet.

With two lions attacking him, he was much more hard pressed for time. Happy did not dare stop for long. He delivered a back kick before he threw that lion.

Bang!

The lion crashed into the wall for Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Not far away were the group of people. They watched the two lions taking turns in attacking, but they were completely unable to do anything. Then, they were gradually able to see what was going on.

“Rhythm.”

“It’s skill and rhythm. It might seem like he’s having a hard time, but in truth, he has been controlling the entire situation all this while. Whew… what skill… but why does it seem like he’s still preserving some strength?”

“He’s too amazing. If we had an elite like that in our team, we wouldn’t just be fighting outside Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts.”

While the group of people fought against the two other white tigers and one lion, they communicated with each other, and they were not in grave danger.

Happy was now completely immersed in the joy of training.

Aside from increasing attributes, Tendon Changing Classic will also clearly change his fighting style and improve his strength.

His movements were incredibly smooth.

After his meridian system was broadened, his qi seemed to be able to gather together even faster than before.

He can use hidden force with ease, and it was as easy as breathing.

Aside from that, when he fought against the lions and used his back to ram against them or even perform other actions, they seem to trigger the effect of Tendon Changing Classic widening his meridian system and protecting him.

When he breathed, Tendon Changing Classic will continuously change his physical constitution.

Even though it was slow, once the day was over, he finished circulating all three full circulations, and it even managed to improve his body. Even though it was slow, it was enough to make Happy satisfied.

Because he was already at the peak of Life and Death Realm, and very soon, he will enter Moksha Realm.

Based on his current speed in development, he might enter Moksha Realm when his Tendon Changing Classic entered the third realm.

“Let’s continue!”

Happy fought against the two lions head on, completely forgetting about everything else.

This lasted until the people on his side used hidden weapons to throw chaos to the beast tamer’s control. Then, they used Gu poison to lure the two white tigers and lion into the traps and injure them severely. When their battle ended, Happy then threw away one prey before he killed the second lion.

However, the beast tamer had already fled into Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Once the battle ended, Party Leader Mu Qi walked over.

“I, Mu Qi, thank you for helping us on behalf of all members in Hunter Clan! Brother, might I know your name?”

“It’s just a tiny matter. My name isn’t all that important.” Happy actually wanted to use this chance to test the strength of the creatures in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts and the characteristics of Tendon Changing Classic. He did not intend to become real friends with this group. “Are you going to take the items?”

“Of course. The materials and equipment on the lions can cost up to one million and five hundred thousand, but the two lions you killed only dropped one equipment, so the total is two million. These are the silver notes, please take them.” The party leader agreed to the trade frankly.

Happy took the silver notes, and under the group’s gaze, walked into Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts alone.
