Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  The unyielding attitude of Beautiful Robes Faction's female master caused the people from Class One Hall who saw it to admire her in secret.

  However, Phoenix Dances and Silver Wolf alone were not enough to support the rear.

  Class One Hall members charged at them like a swarm and brought chaos to Beautiful Robes Faction's second line of defense. They swiftly pounced on the roofs and the hall of the headquarters, which made the battle at the headquarters turn chaotic.

  The shouts for death in the headquarters rose nonstop and rang in everyone's eardrums. However, when Blood Robes heard it, it was an incredibly pleasing and touching melody for him.

  He slowly walked up the stairs from the crowd who was engaged in a chaotic battle.

  Soon, a God of War who swung his purplish-red greataxe like a raving demon while drenched in blood showed up in front of him. The light from the axe covered a circular area of several feet like a stream of water. There were more than twenty Class One Hall members who had died under the bloody axe, and its user looked like a one-man army.

  When One Circle saw Blood Robes walking toward him unarmed but with steady footsteps and a cold gaze, a hint of graveness shone in the student's eyes. He had seen that person before. He was someone among the top management in Class One Hall and in command of the attack, so One Circle would never believe anyone who might say that he was weak.

  However, not only did Blood Robes not have any weapons, he did not even have a single piece of equipment on him. He looked relaxed and moved like a grandmaster, which meant that he believed he was leagues ahead of others. One Circle felt displeased just by looking at him.

  What made One Circle even angrier was that Blood Robes actually ignored him. He did not even look at him and was prepared to cross the threshold without slowing down.

  'Bastard!'

  One Circle flew into a rage.

  Even though he was covered in wounds, he was still confident in himself after having killed countless enemies.

  He could not forgive anyone who challenged his dignity!

  He acc.u.mulated strength in his axe, and when he swung it, it brought with it a piercing howl as it charged viciously at Blood Robes.

  Blood Robes frowned.

  One Circle might need to be measured in tons and seemed quite plump, but his axe swing was filled with ingenious skill. The axe shadows that flew into the air looked like a huge, bloody shark that instantly blocked all the areas in which Blood Robes could advance.

  "You're pretty agile."

  Blood Robes tapped against the ground. He stopped moving forward and stayed just right beyond the axe shadows.

  "Die!"

  One Circle laughed. The purple-red axe in his hands suddenly let out a clear clang. Its hilt grew by two feet, and the axe shadows increased exponentially. They instantly tore through Blood Robes' body.

  'I hit him?'

  Right when One Circle wanted to smile, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what he had felt.

  His expression changed, and a cold voice rose from behind him.

  "Pretty interesting, fatty."

  When One Circle turned his head around, he found that Blood Robes had appeared behind him at some point in time and placed his palm gently on his shoulder.

  "You…" One Circle was filled with great astonishment.

  He turned around to force Blood Robes away, but he suddenly noticed that his qi was flowing away from his limbs at an astonishing speed. A chill that filled his bones swept through his entire body, and he could practically not hold his axe anymore. It felt incredibly heavy in his hands, and worse still was that the qi in his Dantian region was also flowing away at a maddening pace. It flowed into Blood Robes' body through his palm.

  At the same time the qi in One Circle's Dantian region flowed out of his body, it was as if he lost a lot of his HP…

  His huge body, which had to be measured in tons, shrank down in the blink of an eye.

  Blood Robes still had his hand placed on One Circle's shoulder in a relaxed manner while his robes fluttered despite there being no wind. His cheeks glowed with a healthy red color, and he was full of high spirits. A delighted look that could not be described with words shone in the depths of his eyes.

  Soon, the Beautiful Robes Faction members nearby, Bum, Puffy God, and the others, noticed it.

  "What's that skill?"

  "Northern Obscure Divine Skill?"

  "No, it shouldn't be Northern Obscure Divine Skill, no one has completed that quest right now. It should be Old Star Monster Ding Chunqiu's Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill!"

  "No matter what it is, we have to save him!"

  Rampaging Dragon's relationship with One Circle was pretty good, and when he saw that One Circle was in trouble, he could not stand it. He swallowed a few Dew Pills, shouted in anger, and led a few faction members to head in the direction of the gate.

  "Don't mess up the formation!"

  Tea Words tried to remind them about their orders, but it was already too late. The first line of defense had been greatly damaged, and only around a dozen of them were left in the crowd, persevering through sheer power of will.

  At the moment Blood Robes s.u.c.k.e.d out all the qi in One Circle's body, he pushed the youth to the gate, which sent One Circle falling to his knees.

  Blood Robes' face was filled with excitement. He was delighted by the qi filling him up. A moment later though, he looked away and took note of the group of high-ranking people from Beautiful Robes Faction rushing at him. He smiled coldly at them.

  "Perfect timing."

  Chapter 384 - Madness!

  The battle at Beautiful Robes Faction's headquarters went on in a very horrifying manner!

  Half an hour after Class One Hall invaded Beautiful Robes Faction, the higher ups of Beautiful Robes Faction did not manage to block Class One Hall's vicious attacks, even though they had Dew Pills. They died one after another and steadily lost ground.

  However, during the last half an hour, Class One Hall also lost at least five hundred people. They had nearly half their men dead, which meant that they were unable to destroy Beautiful Robes Faction's headquarters with the force of a tidal wave in one go.

  A never-ending stream of Beautiful Robes Faction members took the places of their fallen comrades from the back or the area around the headquarters.

  The battle descended into an even more nerve wracking state!

  Quite a number of Beautiful Robes Faction higher ups even rushed over from Guanlin Temple regardless of the cost and jumped into the fray again without saying a word. Thousands of people used their lives to close the gap of strength between the two sides. They tried to whittle down what remained of Class One Hall's lives with their lives and blood.

  The people watching the fight were stunned.

  They stared at the young Beautiful Robes Faction members who charged at Class One Hall's camp like a never-ending wave and the people from Class One Hall who stood unmoving in the headquarters as if they were nails that had been hammered into the wood

  The people watching the fight were deeply shocked.

  If Beautiful Robes Faction's persistence and fervor affected them, then Class One Hall's strength was also displayed in its full might. They only used less than one-tenth of their strength, and they managed to force a huge faction into such a perilous situation! Class One Hall's strength caused everyone to feel deeply wary and respectful.

  Blood Robes stepped on Tea Words and the others' corpses to walk deeper from the middle of a group of Class One Hall members. With two palm strikes on the air, he attacked two rather outstanding elites of Beautiful Robes Faction who were forcefully withstanding an encirclement by a few Class One Hall elites.

  When they noticed the powerful gust of wind from the air, they felt as if they had been rammed into by a train. Their body fortifications shattered, and they were thrown into the air before they crashed into people behind them. They were killed by the shockwave while they were in the air. />
  That action instantly made Beautiful Robes Faction wary of the man.

  Blood Robes ignored Beautiful Robes Faction's astonished and stunned gazes. He smiled coldly and arrived in front of the headquarters with an arrogant look on his face. When he looked around, his gaze landed on a rather eye-catching figure.

  Silver Wolf!

  When he noticed Blood Robes looking at him, Silver Wolf became wary. He swiftly dragged a Class One Hall member over to block himself, but a feeling as if his strength was being drained swiftly rushed through his body, and the power of the long-distance palm strike Blood Robes had executed far exceeded his imagination. Despite it crashing into the Class One Hall member's c.h.e.s.t with an astonishing speed, it still rammed violently against Silver Wolf's body.

  Both people coughed up blood and were thrown into the air at the same time.

  This scene made the expressions of people from Beautiful Robes Faction to change drastically.

  They did not expect that even Silver Wolf would not be Blood Robes' opponent. By the looks of it, the disparity in strength was incredibly great!

  Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill allowed Blood Robes to reach a new degree and height.

  He did not stop moving and headed to the foundation in the headquarters with steady and firm footsteps.

  Some time earlier, an important Class One Hall branch had been destroyed by Happy's hands. Now, he would use Beautiful Robes Faction's headquarters to repay Happy.

  Even though he really wanted to continue dragging out the fight so that more Beautiful Robes Faction members would die at least once, the casualties Class One Hall suffered were also not light.

  They had more than six hundred people dead.

  If he continued dragging out the fight, even if he managed to completely destroy Beautiful Robes Faction, Class One Hall could only be considered to have won after paying a great price. After all, Beautiful Robes Faction still had thousands of people, most of whom had nearly descended into madness. To prevent any accidents from happening, Blood Robes cautiously chose to first destroy the foundation and Beautiful Robes Faction before he thought of anything else.

  *****

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone stared at Happy with a worried look as Happy rushed forward hastily. There was no need for him to look at him to know that Happy had a cold expression and was filled with anger, but no outlet. He was currently a bomb on the verge of exploding.

  He had received some news from Thunderous Battle about Beautiful Robes Faction's situation right then.

  Many of the higher ups were people with whom Happy had a good relationship. Yet under Class One Hall's full suppression, not a single one of them survived, and that included Faction Master Phoenix Dances. She had also sacrificed herself.

  Beautiful Robes Faction's destruction could no longer be avoided.

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not believe that Class One Hall would choose to completely turn against Happy.

  With Happy's strength, if he chose to fly into a crazed rage, the threat he posed to Class One Hall could not be imagined. He might not be able to completely destroy Class One Hall, but he could make its branches descend into a constant state of nervousness. They would have to always be ready for war, which would cripple them. And that was something that Happy could easily do.

  Did Class One Hall have some other chip that could make them balance the fight between them and Happy?

  Based on All-powerful Medicinal Stone's understanding toward Class One Hall's operations, Dream Clouds had to have a foolproof plan, or else she would not ignore the threat that Happy posed if he decided to engage them in a life-and-death struggle.

  What was the reason then?

  While All-powerful Medicinal Stone frowned and pondered over it, a messenger pigeon flew over and arrived before them.

  Happy's expression was incredibly dark. He grabbed it without hesitation and spread out the letter to quickly cast a glance at it before changing his direction and urging his horse to go faster. He sped forward at full speed while the paper was torn and its pieces flew away with the wind.

  *****

  They had been running at full speed for some time before another messenger pigeon arrived. All-powerful Medicinal Stone finally could no longer stand the sense of puzzlement. "Happy! Where are we going? The nearest Class One Hall branch isn't in that direction."

  Happy's face was as cold as ice, and with a cold tone, he said only two words, "Barren Murderer!"

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone felt his heart tremble!

  Barren Murderer was one of the vice hall masters of Class One Hall and one of the three monsters of the organization. Right then, he was ranked at the fifth place on the Dragon Rank.

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

  He could now tell that Class One Hall had absolutely angered Happy.

  Perhaps destroying one branch would not cause Class One Hall to suffer many losses and they would not have any problems in their progress, but Barren Murderer was one of the vice hall masters of Class One Hall and one of the faces of Class One Hall. If he died in Happy's hands, it would be the same as tearing off one of Dream Clouds' arms!

  Happy wanted to use the most direct and ruthless way to take revenge on Class One Hall for Beautiful Robes Faction!

  However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not help but be worried.

  Barren Murderer was, no matter what, the fifth person on the Dragon Rank, and his strength was unfathomable. It was rumored that he was about to enter Life and Death Realm, and his equipment was not that much inferior to that of Happy.

  Even if he was still weaker, he should have no problem in protecting himself or fleeing. Besides, Barren Murderer still had plenty of elites around him…

  However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone knew that Happy was in a fit of anger right then, and no matter what he said, Happy would probably not listen to him. So All-powerful Medicinal Stone could only follow behind him and prepare himself for a fight.

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not make a wrong guess. Happy was indeed filled with anger, and he had an urge to rip apart Class One Hall regardless of the cost.

  He also knew Barren Murderer's strength!

  But that could no longer stop him from killing him!

  In his previous life, Class One Hall destroyed him, and in this life, it destroyed Beautiful Robes Faction.

  He was the successor of Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill, the Star King of the three kings!

  Chapter 385 - Undying King of Abyss Art

  Thud, thud…

  Two Hoof Shadows that were black and handsome entered the forest one after the other. They continued to gallop forward as if they were traveling on flat ground.

  The person in front was covered head to toe in golden armor while the person at the back had equipped himself with silver armor. They held swords in their hands while they struck their horses to head to a spot around sixty-five feet away. Then, they looked around the area.

  They had already rushed for nearly an hour, so they should catch up to Barren Murderer and his group very soon.

  Right when that thought flashed in All-powerful Medicinal Stone's mind, a dull but powerful twang from a bow suddenly came from before them. Dozens of arrows shot forward and covered the area in front of Happy, who was in front of All-powerful Medicinal Stone.

  His Hoof Shadow was galloping at a very fast speed, so it was impossible for him to dodge it. In the blink of an eye, Happy was struck by a lot of arrows, and the Hoof Shadow beneath him was also got hit a few times. Blood gushed out from its body, and it looked very miserable.

  'No good!'

  "Ambush!"

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone tensed up and quickly tugged at the reins of his horse while he shouted a warning.

  It was no wonder then why they did not run into any of the people from Barren Murderer. He must have noticed something, and once he became certain of Happy's location, he ordered his men to set up an ambush.r />
  That was bad.

  But when All-powerful Medicinal Stone looked up, he found that Happy did not care about it at all. Even though his Hoof Shadow was injured, he still continued onward without slowing down. He charged forward with a fierce momentum and instantly covered ninety-eight feet. He entered the depths of the forest without caring that there was an ambush ahead of him and did not bother about the fact that he did not know how many ambushers there were in total.

  'Damn it!'

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone's heart let out a loud thump. He struck his Hoof Shadow's b.u.t.t with a loud smack and rushed after Happy like an arrow which had been released from the bow. He could no longer care about whether there was danger ahead of him, since he could not let Happy rush into Class One Hall's trap alone.

  "Die, Class One Hall sc.u.m!"

  When Happy rushed into the forest, dozens of Class One Hall members with great equipment quickly appeared in his sight. He did not say anything else and just stomped against the stirrup before jumping up from his horse. Then, he grabbed the closest person to him like a huge bird.

  Since Class One Hall had set up an ambush, they had naturally been waiting for a long time, and they were not afraid of Happy.

  "Kill him!" someone shouted in a low voice.

  The forest swayed, and many robes fluttered in the wind. A group of people and horses surged out from all directions, surrounding Happy from three directions.

  To his left was Barren Murderer, who walked at the front of his group with a majestic gait. His eyes were cold when he looked at Happy with smugness and laughed arrogantly.

  "Hahahaha… I knew from the start that you would come with the intention of causing trouble for me, but do you think that I'm so easy to oppress? I'll tell you, Happy, I'll fulfill your wish today!"

  He spoke with his voice infused with qi, and it could intimidate a person. He was also flanked by many Class One Hall elites, so anyone else in Happy's place would have long ago been so terrified that they would be quivering in their boots, but none of it affected Happy.
