Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  "Everyone! We can't go on like this!"

  There was a young man from Wudang Sect who seemed to have quite a high status. While he executed Cloud-Ascending Ladder to avoid the throwing knives, he roared and contacted the other people in the hall.

  "We have to work together, or else we'll all die!"

  "That's right!"

  "But who will break that stupid Ghost Face Wall?!"

  "All seven great system-allocated sects, send a group of people with high-tier body fortification techniques. Even if we lose our lives in the process, we have to destroy that door!" The young man from Wudang Sect had extraordinary lightness skill, but he was still injured by a throwing knife. He staggered, but he still hastily struck while the iron was hot and strengthened everyone's resolve.

  "Alright!"

  "All thirteen of us from Shaolin Temple will enter!" a loud voice swiftly answered Wudang Sect's suggestion.

  It belonged to one of the thirteen staff-using monks!

  "Shaolin Temple, I, Ouyang Qing, admire you for being able to send all of your people up to fight!"

  The disciples of Wudang Sect were filled with great joy, and they placed their palms in their hands to salute them across the distance.

  "Alright, Kunlun Sect will send ten elites with body fortification techniques!"

  The attitude of the thirteen staff-using monks delighted the other sects, and they quickly gave their responses.

  "While we of Kongtong Mountain Sect don't have many people with us, we can still send out around a dozen elites with body fortification techniques!" Hidden Soul Guild said.

  "Beggar's Sect is also willing to contribute!"

  A few Beggar's Sect disciples with flashy clothing moved out.

  While they gathered together, Emei Sect and Mount Hua Sect's people finally entered the hall. They saw the horrifying sight before them, along with the scene of one hundred or so disciples from five sects hiding behind pillars in an incredibly pathetic manner while they shifted and moved about to avoid the throwing knives that filled the hall.

  The expressions of the people from Emei Sect and Mount Hua Sect changed drastically.

  "One Circle! Bum!"

  Black figures moved, and two people measured in tonnes shot out from the back of the group without hesitation. They rushed to stand in front of their sect.

  It was as if the throwing knives behind Ghost Face Wall had noticed another large group of people enter the royal mausoleum, and they gave up on aiming at the people who were moving around to dodge them. They concentrated a part of their fire power on the group at the entrance.

  "Urk!"

  A muffled grunt came from the fatty who had a round shape and looked completely harmless. The air shuddered violently, and a black light swiftly retracted from everywhere to form a black item that resembled a suit of armor on One Circle's body.

  Clang! Clang!

  The throwing knives in the lead inevitably knocked into the black armor on One Circle's body.

  Wisps of black smoke scattered from the black armor because of the crash.

  The rest of the armor swiftly released black smoke to quickly mend the wounded area, and the color swiftly became fainter.

  After one round of attacks, most of the astonishing armor scattered, and it returned to become a normal body fortification.

  "What the heck?!"

  The young fatty was so scared that he felt his soul leaving his body. Cold sweat broke out on his skin.

  He had wanted to show off in front of the many beauties and their coursemates, but he did not expect that he would not be able to last for long. After just one round of attacks, the first layer of his automatic body fortification at Grandmaster Realm was mostly destroyed, and it might be difficult for him to withstand the next round of attacks without suffering any damage.

  "Bum! I can't last anymore!" the young fatty cried out with a pale face, but he did not dare move away, and his expression was very amusing.

  But the other sects could not laugh!

  They knew full well just how great the damage of the throwing knives were. Even the thirteen staff-using monks from Shaolin Temple no longer had the courage to receive the attacks after withstanding a few of them. The inconspicuous fatty, however, had foolishly withstood around a dozen of the splitting throwing knives, and his body fortification was not even destroyed. It was likely that the boy's high-tier body fortification technique had already reached the supreme stage—Grandmaster Realm.

  The five great sects no longer dared to look down on the students.

  "I saw it."

  B.u.t.t Shaker quickly went up with a nervous look to take away some of the pressure from One Circle.

  He knew just how great One Circle's body fortification was, and if that moving tank who was known to never be hurt by anything could not last for long, it was obvious just how great was the damage of the trap in the royal mausoleum.

  "Everyone! A chance!"

  The people from the five sects moved together. Each sect sent around a dozen people who activated their body fortification techniques. They then rushed at the green Ghost Face Wall from different directions.

  Chapter 260 - Beautiful Robes Faction’s Strength

  The appearance of Beautiful Robes Faction and Emei Sect finally allowed the people from the five sects to earn a chance to fight back. They did not dare to be negligent. A group of people with great body fortifications charged at the green Ghost Face Wall from the sides while airborne.

  Green Ghost Face Wall was a door made of a green and sturdy stone. From the holes on it, they could see that it was seven inches thick…

  Clang!

  Silver-spiked Staffs swiftly landed on Ghost Face Wall with an astonishing and vigorous force! They let out a dull and shockingly loud thud. The faces of the thirteen staff-using monks changed at the same time! A powerful rebound left their purlicues numb. They staggered backwards, but Ghost Face Wall did not shatter immediately. Only a small pit that was an inch deep was made on the wall. There was not even a crack.

  "So thick!"

  "Let me!"

  A shout that sounded like thunder rose in the air. Ouyang Qing, the disciple of Wudang Sect, moved with an astounding momentum. He looked like a breathtaking stream of light. The sharp light of his sword crashed against Ghost Face Wall at the speed of lightning.

  Clang!

  Ouyang Qing was also sent flying away by a powerful rebound. However, a crack that was more than eleven inch long and one and a half inch deep appeared on Ghost Face Wall.

  There seemed to be someone observing their actions behind Ghost Face Wall. Once they noticed that someone had begun to attack it at close range, the frequency of the throwing knives' attacks increased. The attackers gave up on Beautiful Robes Faction and Emei Sect and focused all their attention on the people close to them.

  However, it was fortunate that the five sects were prepared for that. A group of people with body fortification techniques at high realm activated their qi realms. They protected the thirteen staff-using monks and Wudang Sect's Ouyang Qing. However, under the dense attacks, nearly half of their body fortifications were destroyed, and they suffered different degrees of damage.

  "Damn it!"

  "Don't lose heart, everyone! The attacks are still effective! Attack together in the next round! Use your strongest attacks! We'll definitely be able to break that door!"

  Ouyang Qing might have suffered light injuries because of the rebound, but based on what he sensed from the attack just then, it was not impossible for Ghost Face Wall to be destroyed, and he shouted with his qi to boost the people's morale and confidence.

  "Our friends from Mount Hua Sect and Emei Sect, please help us!"

  It was the first time Beautiful Robes Sect's power was recognized by other people. Even Glutinous Rice's senior sisters from Emei Sect were filled with admiration toward One Circle's body fortification after they saw the horrifying sight before them.

  When they heard the five great sects' invi
tation and swept their gazes over the corpses strewn all over the ground, they nodded at the same time.

  "Let's attack together!"

  Phoenix Dances stepped forward and brought out an incredibly domineering Silver-spiked Staff from her Universe Bag. It was the same as the weapon in the hands of the thirteen staff-using monks.

  The eyes of the disciples from Emei Sect sparkled brightly. They could sense a character that normal players did not have and a heroic air that surpassed a man's from Phoenix Dances' domineering weapon and her heroic gait.

  "Alright!"

  One Circle still stood in front of Phoenix Dances, but he had already repaired his body fortification armor. He scooped at the air with his plump arm, and a purple-red greataxe landed in his palm. The huge blade of the axe went together with One Circle's figure, and the fierceness he radiated at that moment made him look like the reincarnation of Li Yuanba. He bared his teeth and rushed forward.

  B.u.t.t Shaker, Tea Words, Rampaging Dragon, and the Three Lonely Wolves followed closely behind them. Aside from the Three Lonely Wolves, the rest released the aura of powerful Mystical Realm players. Under the leadership of One Circle and Phoenix Dances, whose appearances were very eye-catching, they jumped into the air with an astonishing momentum, and right before the dumbfounded expressions of the other people in the hall, they rushed to the frontline.

  "Beautiful Robes Faction…"

  The ladies from Emei Sect were completely stunned. They repeatedly recited the name of the faction Glutinous Rice had told them previously while their eyes sparkled brilliantly. They were now very interested in that faction.

  Clang! Thang! Bang!

  The people right in front of Ghost Face Wall did not pay much attention to the situation behind them. Their focus was completely on Ghost Face Wall and the throwing knives that shot out from the door. Once they had an extra moment, they would regroup for battle and swiftly leave behind cracks on Ghost Face Wall. It was either that, or they would make the old and faint pits from before deeper.

  Suddenly, an aura that filled the area rose from behind them.

  A loud roar that sounded like it came from a rather young person rang out behind the group.

  "LET ME!"

  The offensive momentum in the hall seemed to freeze because of it. The group swiftly made way and turned their heads around to look back in shock.

  The roar of the king of all beasts could be heard in the air! It sounded as if a tiger was roaring in the forest!

  At that moment, regardless of whether it were the thirteen staff-using monks, Wudang Sect's Ouyang Qing, or the people from Hidden Soul Guild, they were all deeply shocked by One Circle's eye-catching momentum.

  A Mystical Realm high-tier martial art…

  In the blink of an eye, the purple-red greataxe rammed against Ghost Face Wall with the force of splitting apart mountains!

  BOOOM!

  The ground trembled, and the entire hall of the royal mausoleum trembled.

  The violent momentum made even the throwing knives inside the door freeze for a moment. They seemed to have also been affected greatly.

  However, when the people turned to look at Ghost Face Wall with crazed delight, they found only a crack that was more than thirty-nine inches long, thirty inches wide, and more than thirty-one inches deep at the center of the sturdy door. A clear crack spread out in a zig-zagging pattern and connected to a hole that was square in shape.

  However, what disappointed everyone was that the damn door did not shatter because of it.

  "Damn it!"

  One Circle was also stunned.

  He did not expect that even when he attacked with the Arhat Axe and the Mystical Realm high-tier Five Tiger Rotating Hammer Technique, which were both items he obtained from the storage, he still did not manage to break the door.

  Once he stopped for a moment…

  Whoosh!

  Dozens of throwing knives swiftly shot out from different holes. They split up into dozens of other knives, and all of them crashed into One Circle, who landed on the ground foolishly.

  "Careful!"

  But it was too close, and there was no longer anyone who could save One Circle.

  However, One Circle shuddered because of the clear warning and snapped out of his daze. He swung his Arhat Axe horizontally and formed flickering axe shadows. Dozens of throwing knives were sent flying away with loud clanging sounds, and while some of the still hit One Circle, they were all blocked by the armor formed by black aura, and the damage was reduced to a minimum.

  The people from the other sects were struck dumb by the sight.

  'What the heck?! This is a living glacier! He looks as if he's even sturdier than a group of people tied together, and he's alone!'

  'Where did this elite come from? Why have I never heard of him?'

  Some of the people began guessing in the dark, and their gazes as they stared at Beautiful Robes Faction became even graver.

  Once they had One Circle attracting the firepower, the powerful fighters from Beautiful Robes Faction shouted and pounced on Ghost Face Wall's sides while cackling and grinning happily.

  "Fatty, you're awesome!"

  "HAHA! Fatty, don't move!"

  Saber glares and sword glares shone!

  Boom!

  Boom! Boom, boom!

  The crazed onslaught on the door finally reminded the other people from the five sects what they were supposed to be doing. They remembered the most important task at hand and snapped out of their dazes. They began to exert force into their attacks…

  With One Circle's protection, the cracks on Ghost Face Wall increased. Stones flew, and the door became thinner!

  At that moment, no one noticed a young man dressed in blue enter the hall. He noticed the situation inside, and the scowl he had on his face evened out a little. While keeping his composure, he quietly moved to the back of the chaotic group.

  Chapter 261 - Wall Breaks! Blood Soaked Hall in Royal Mausoleum

  Boom!

  With the protection provided by One Circle's domineering defensive divine martial art, a loud bang rose, and the people finally crushed Green Ghost Face Wall, which had taken away the lives of more than one hundred disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects.

  Green Ghost Face Wall lasted for a few minutes while receiving the crazed onslaught from the players. At the moment it finally crumbled, everyone put on a relaxed smile that spoke of them being released of their burden!

  However, when the wall lowered itself and the tunnel was opened to the people, numerous ninjas with plenty of throwing knives in their hands appeared without a sign!

  In an instant, everyone froze!

  The smiles that had just appeared instantly froze. Then, they were swiftly replaced by great shock, terror, and anger.

  There were more than thirty ninjas in the tunnel!

  They were dressed in the standard way for ninjas. Their gazes were cold, and they had their arms crossed over their c.h.e.s.ts. In their hands, they held the thin throwing knives, which made everyone's expressions change because of familiarity with the weapons. Each of the throwing knives shone with a cold and intimidating glare.

  When the players, including One Circle, saw the countless white throwing knives reflected in the ninja's eyes, a powerful chill rose in their hearts, and the moment they saw the tunnel, all of them instantly understood what was going on.

  It was not a trap! It was simply a barrier set up by the ninjas at the entrance of the royal mausoleum because they wanted to steal from it!

  "Dodge!"

  The thirteen staff-using monks' expressions changed swiftly!

  With a loud roar, the disciples from the seven sects retreated at the same time. They circulated their qi realms wildly so that they could mend their body fortification true qi, which had suffered from different degrees of damage, in a frenzy.

  The moment the disciples from the seven sects shot away from the tunnel, the ninjas put on savage expressions. With a fl
ick of their wrists, countless shiny throwing knives filled the tunnel, and the players were followed by the sound of air being sliced.

  At the instant the throwing knives left the tunnel, they split into three!

  The white throwing knives swiftly occupied everyone's field of vision, turning it completely white. The knives flew in different trajectories, dazzling everyone. They were caught off guard.

  Screams of pain rose and fell!

  The thirteen staff-using monks were no different. Most of them were injured badly and fell from the sky.

  While the Wudang Sect disciples had pretty good lightness skills, their defensive skills were slightly inferior. Hence, when the throwing knives came them from a close distance, they simply could not break free from the dazzling light. They were killed in the air.

  If even Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect suffered some losses, it was even more so for the other sects.

  The people from Soaring Tiger Sect were beaten like dogs. More than thirty of them were pierced full of holes by the throwing knives, and their blood flew all over the place.

  Hidden Soul Guild and Beggar's Sect's losses were not as great as those of Soaring Tiger Sect, but after two rounds of attacks, they had lost more than half of their men, and the loss was devastating.

  Emei Sect was too shocked by One Circle and Phoenix Dances' appearances as well as Beautiful Robes Faction's strength. They were also not willing to mix together with Soaring Tiger Sect and Beggar's Sect, so they stood further back, and the damage they suffered was practically null.

  One Circle took the initiative to swing his Arhat Axe at the moment the incident occurred, and he managed to protect all of his people from Beautiful Robes Faction. The constant throwing knives hitting the Arhat Axe created brilliant sparks!

  The sound of metal clashing against metal was loud and came in a continuous stream!

  In One Circle's hands, the Arhat Axe had a 50% chance of blocking all attacks, and the strength of adding two hundred weapon defense points was completely brought to light. The young fatty was like Vajrapani. He swung his greataxe and withstood the pressure. He managed to block most of the throwing knives and sent them flying.
