Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  At that moment, there were demonic sounds entering the evil cult elder's ears while poison invaded his body. He felt tired physically and mentally, but he had no one to go to for help, which left him at a disadvantage. Even if he used a Small Reversion Pill, he could not turn the tides and prevent the fate of losing and dying.

  In a moment, one of the evil cult elders died, and the other was injured.

  When Happy saw that the evil cult disciples were all killed and Silver Wolf also won, he became relaxed.

  The evil cult great elder, however, felt incredibly gloomy.

  The boy's strength was very strange. His Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm was mighty and peerless, and his finger technique was also extraordinary. Itt was exquisite and soundless, often catching him off guard.

  But what he found to be the hardest to accept was that a boy with such a low qi realm had an endless stream of qi generating in his body. Even when they fought for a long time, he did not show any signs of fatigue.

  As for him, his qi was depleting at a very rapid pace while he faced his opponent's unending flow of attacks.

  Whenever he had to withstand one finger attack, the true qi in his body fortification would decrease slightly.

  As time passed, he had to urge the true qi in his Dantian region to quickly replenish the true qi around him. When that happened repeatedly, it was clear that he could not catch up to the speed of Nine Yang Divine Skill creating qi.

  "Boy, looks like I underestimated you."

  The great elder realized that Happy's offense was bold and wild but careful. He gave off the air of someone incredibly experienced, and because of it, the look in the great elder's eyes became even colder.

  When Happy heard those words, he laughed long and hard. "If you hand over Great Hero Song, I can spare your life."

  "Spare my life? Aren't you afraid of biting your own tongue?" The great elder laughed angrily and suddenly retreated a few feet backward, lowered his body, then pushed his palms against the ground!

  Bang!

  His qi rushed out, and the ground suddenly exploded. Shattered stones flew everywhere, and a black object shot out from the ground.

  Happy had very sharp eyes. He noticed instantly that it was a metallic staff with an extraordinary presence. Once it shot out of the ground, it caused a delicate tremor in the air, and he could not help but feel his heart sink.

  The great elder seized the metallic staff and poured his qi into it, which resulted in the two ends of the staff letting out two buzzing sounds that made the area vibrate.

  Clang! Clang!

  Silver Wolf and the others quickly noticed that the great elder's qi was swiftly increasing. In the blink of an eye, he reached the peak of Inaction Realm.

  "Boy, you should be proud of yourself for forcing me to use Sky Breaker Sound." The great elder was filled with boundless enthusiasm. His hair and beard flew backward, and his tone changed. "But from the moment you stepped in here, you were destined to not be able to leave alive!"

  Once he finished speaking, he flung his staff!

  Happy roared and swung with his palm to fight back!

  Bang!

  A powerful force came from the air, and Happy felt his arm become numb. He grunted and flew back from the force of the blow.

  "Happy!"

  "Careful!"

  Silver Wolf and the others noticed the abnormality on Happy's side.

  The great elder did not stop attacking when he saw that he had the upper hand. His eyes turned cold, and he swiftly chased after Happy. Once he closed the distance between them, he jumped high into the air and swung down fiercely…

  Thud! Thud!

  Even though Happy was shocked that the great elder's strength increased by leaps and bounds after he switched his weapon, he did not become careless even when he was at a disadvantage. Calm and level-headedness were his primary emotions. While he was in the air, he tapped against the air, and fierce finger-generated gusts of wind not only instantly negated the great elder's pursuit, he even forced the great elder to switch to defense.

  He moved like a whirlwind, and Happy found his balance while airborne.

  He twirled and landed on a fake mountain. Then, he jumped up the same moment to rush toward the great elder at an even faster speed!

  "How bold."

  The great elder did not expect that Happy would still take the initiative to attack him at that moment. He laughed coldly, swung his arm, and Sky Breaker Sound whistled in the air. He turned to his side and attacked from the distance, and his attack went charging at Happy's head like an eagle soaring through the sky.

  Petite Dragon!

  At the moment the two attacks intersected with each other, one person was struck with a staff, and the other was hit twice by finger attacks. Their body fortifications rose around their bodies, and they flew backward with their faces toward the sky.

  Chapter 613 - “You Can’t Go Out!”

  Fight!

  When Happy saw that the great elder's qi had become even greater and realized that they had both become completely enraged by the fight, he resolutely gave up on using Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and switched to Ten True Dragon Styles as well as Joined Finger. He moved around and depleted the great elder's qi while fighting head to head against him.

  Even though the protective properties of Golden Bell Cocoon were weaker than those of the great elder's body fortification, with Nine Yang Divine Skill and fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set, Happy could fight a war of attrition!

  The first time they exchanged blows, neither side gained an advantage over the other.

  Even though the great elder's offense was much fiercer and stronger, Happy's two Joined Finger attacks were not easy to receive either.

  They injured the other while also suffering injuries themselves!

  Even though the great elder had an advantage in qi realm, Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill, which provided him with an endless stream of qi as well as soothed his injuries.

  "Boy, just try receiving another one of my staff attacks!"

  When the great elder saw that the attacks he was skilled with and the weapon he had sealed away for a long time did not allow him to gain much of an advantage, the killing intent at the bottom of his heart became even stronger.

  "Come on!"

  They met each other in the air again, and the results were the same once more.

  The Golden Bell Cocoon swayed fiercely and let out a bell chime that made the air tremble when Happy crashed into a corner of the fake mountain like a cannonball and fell to the ground.

  The great elder might not have been in as pathetic a state as Happy, but when they hit each other, he could clearly sense that his body fortification was struck twice, and his condition plummeted.

  'I have to end this quick!'

  Upon seeing that, the great elder's gaze darkened. He tapped against the ground, and his speed increased to the max before he shot toward the spot where Happy had fallen.

  Whoosh!

  Right when he jumped on the fake mountain, two fierce finger-generated gusts of wind charged toward him at the perfect moment.

  Bang! Bang!

  They struck him head-on.

  The true qi of his body fortification swayed violently, and his momentum vanished completely. The great elder felt a heavy weight against his c.h.e.s.t, as if there were stones on it, and he staggered back from the fake mountain. He only took several steps backward when a red flush quickly appeared on his face before it faded away.

  "What a cunning brat." The great elder was incredibly angry, but he also became much more wary.

  The attack just then had given him a lesson.

  He would not gain anything by being anxious!

  Ever since he started to practice Nine Yang Divine Skill, his spiritual senses had increased by a large margin, and he could clearly hear everyone's breathing in a circular area of 328 feet. His reactions and speed had also increased by a large margin, which had allowed him to deliver his attack at the
perfect timing. The more the great elder wanted to end the battle in one go, the faster he was going to lose, because he was not facing any average enemy.

  At that moment, Happy did not mind drawing out the fight a little.

  He had attacked repeatedly with his fingers, so the depletion of his qi was very great. If he could rest for a while, he would naturally not complain. After all, the situation on the other side had become stable, and he would soon receive reinforcements.

  Even though Happy really wanted to get a Class S battle assessment to increase the level of his Joined Finger, it was still a little hard for him to fight against an old monster from the evil cult. It would be better for him to advance gradually. Everything he did had to have saving Song Yuanqiao as the main goal!

  "Great Hero Song."

  While the group fought, All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not remain idle. He got out of the palace and searched through the houses on the right, where he seemed to have obtained a lot of rewards.

  "Did you find him?"

  "I did. There is a hidden tunnel in the palace that is activated via a mechanism. All of them are locked inside." He stopped talking for a moment before he said in an incredibly smug manner, "I also found another exit that will lead us straight out of Sky Demon Secret Cave."

  "What?"

  "We got here after so much trouble, so we should check out the other places too. I think that Sky Demon Secret Cave should have more stuff around."

  They had run into countless mechanisms and traps on the way, but they had very few chances to fight. In fact, they did not see any treasures either, which was why they could not accept running away.

  As they talked, Little North finally seized the moment the evil cult elder's body fortification was destroyed to injure him gravely, which made the man's strength plummet.

  Once Little North injected poison into his opponent's body, he did not need to bother with any subsequent matters, and he did not even need to attack, so he just moved away from the battlefield.

  "Will the real Sky Demon Secret Cave be in the tunnel Wind Assault Tower went to? Perhaps it's not even here but in that cold cave."

  "Just ask that old man."

  Happy had exchanged blows with the evil cult great elder more than once. Even though his Golden Bell Cocoon had shattered, the great elder was not in a good condition either. Once his body fortification fell apart, he had to be wary of Happy's silent Joined Finger at all times.

  "Forget the other things first. Go and save Great Hero Song and the others." While Happy gave his orders, he increased the speed of his offense.

  But Happy no longer dared to move up carelessly. He used his Joined Finger and completely suppressed the great elder, making him unable to bring out his advantage. He depleted the great elder's strength and life step by step.

  Multiple black holes the size of fingertips had appeared around the great elder, and there were dozens of bloody holes on him. His top knot fell off, and he looked dishevelled. He stared at Happy intently while his c.h.e.s.t heaved.

  Normally, when things progressed to such a point, a great elder would understand that they had to leave. If the person was at all smart.

  But Happy did not know whether it was because the great elder loved the place too much or whether it was because Silver Wolf, Wind Chimes, Momo, and Little North were eyeing him with hostility, but he did not show any intention to leave.

  Since the great elder did not flee, Silver Wolf and the others were happy to just watch from the side as Happy fought by himself.

  Inaction Realm martial artists at the peak were not any weaker than Master Kong Xiang of Shaolin Temple. If Happy could kill him alone, he would get a Class S battle assessment, and it would be the same as him training for a long time, which was why they did not interfere with the fight.

  "It's about time…"

  The evil cult great elder was struck a few times on the legs, and it became very difficult for him to move. His qi wilted, and his strength dropped to 30% of the original.

  Happy sighed and increased the speed at which he struck with his fingers. His qi had already returned to the peak, and at that moment, all of it exploded from his body without any being held back. He executed finger strike after finger strike, and the fierce finger-generated wind quietly jabbed into the great elder in an endless stream.

  The great elder could withstand the first few finger strikes, but his arm gradually became numb, and he slowed down. Bloody holes then appeared on his c.h.e.s.t, arms, shoulders, and stomach.

  They covered the great elder's body, which shuddered nonstop, and he staggered while being forced back. A pair of angry eyes filled with desolation glared at Happy's face.

  "You can't get out!" the great elder roared suddenly. "Hahahaha… you won't get out… even if you kill me, you will all die here with me!"

  As blood poured out of the spot above his c.h.e.s.t, his voice came to an abrupt halt!

  Chapter 614 - Sky Demon Slip

  The great elder was a powerful Inaction Realm martial artist who had hidden his name for decades, which was why he was not famous. Right then though, right before Happy and the others' eyes, he fell to the ground while covered in blood!

  Bang!

  The evil cult great elder's death made Happy sigh for him.

  From what he knew from his previous life, this quest should be a once in a lifetime quest, for the evil cult great elder had never appeared. He had strength that was equivalent to that of Master Kong Xiang, but he did not manage to display his splendor in the game. He just died quietly in a tunnel within Sky Demon Secret Cave, and no one would ever know about it.

  Happy said nothing. He just looked up and stared at the square piece of sky above his head before he s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath.

  "Little North, pick up the loot. Let's see what we have."

  "Alright, boss!"

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone hated looting the dead, but Little North loved doing it, so when he heard the go-ahead, he rushed over excitedly and groped about the evil cult great elder's corpse.

  "Whew, look what we have here! A low-grade divine weapon, Sky Breaker Sound!"

  Little North's surprised shout attracted everyone's attention, and they looked over with delight. They all smiled at the staff that Little North took out from the Universe Bag.

  "We finally got some decent loot."

  "Yeah, with this weapon, we cannot be said to have come here in vain."

  Happy nodded slowly. As of then, grade one masterpieces were no longer enough for elites, but the number of divine weapons in the game was still very small. Their creation rate was also very low, which was something different from masterpieces.

  Since their attributes were stronger by one fold compared to grade one masterpieces, refined divine weapons were priceless in the market. Various refined grade one masterpieces dropped in value and began to show signs of having a stable price, but rare divine weapons were still sold at exorbitant prices, and no one could shake their position.

  For example, Little North's fourth-echelon demon vessel, Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm, was only slightly weaker compared to divine weapons, and there were already people who offered a billion and five hundred million taels of silver in the black market to buy it…

  But even an unrefined low-grade divine weapon was worth a hundred million! When converted, it was about four million RMB!

  "That's not all, right?"

  Little North brought out a few more items from the Universe Bag. The martial art manuals alone numbered to three. There was one Sky Demon Order, an Origin Leopard Pill, along with quite a few gold ingots and grade one masterpieces.

  "This man's wallet sure is fat."

  Happy could not hold himself back from walking over. He took the three martial art manuals and took a look at them.

  The others also went up to him.

  It would have been better if they did not see them, but once they did, they s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths.

  An incomplete Sky
Demon Slip!

  The first manual already caused everyone's hearts to go cold.

  Happy was the one who held the manual, and once he read the information of Sky Demon Slip, even he could not help but shudder, and he was nearly unable to hold the slip.

  [Incomplete Sky Demon Slip:

  [Once ten incomplete Sky Demon Slips are gathered, a complete Sky Demon Slip can be obtained, and the owner of it will be able to practice the evil cult's supreme Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art.]

  Silence fell among the group.

  Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art had always been the source of bloodshed in the world of martial arts. It was a supreme manual from the evil cult that both the righteous and evil paths fought for.

  The requirements to practice it were incredibly strict!

  On top of that, those who had an incomplete Sky Demon Slip could sense the whereabouts of the other slips at all times, so brutal fights for them never ended. Hence, those who had them never survived for long in the world of martial artists.

  The Sky Demon Slip in Happy's hand was one of the incomplete slips Shi Zhixuan had deliberately left behind in Sky Demon Secret Cave to attract the owners of the other Sky Demon Slips.

  The rumors about Sky Demon Slip were known by everyone all too well. Those who were not strong enough should put down the Sky Demon Slip they found and leave if they did not want to bring slaughter to their doorstep. If they did not bring it with them, they would be fine.

  Shi Zhixuan!

  He was a person in Myth Realm!

  The meaning of it was very clear…

  Those who had Sky Demon Slips would be chased by peerless martial artists!

  Happy scowled. He hesitated for a long time before he sighed and threw away the Sky Demon Slip that countless martial artists would envy.

  Thud!

  The Sky Demon Slip fell into the dust after being cast away…
