Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  The players on the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats were all terrified when they saw that!

  As they drew closer, many people could see the face of the person in the light blue robes along with the Golden Gloves on his hands.

  "If you don't want to leave, then don't. Let's make this place a little livelier."

  Happy laughed coldly and jumped off the deck like a big bird to meet the players who shot out of the water to jump toward the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats.

  Bang! Bang!

  A solid crash was heard. A few men who had already activated their body fortifications shouted in pain. They felt as if they had hit the head of a train, and they curled up into balls while they were sent flying back violently.

  Whoosh!

  Astonishing splashes came from the river. Once those people fell into the water, they did not show up again even after a long time had passed.

  "If you leave now, you can still make it in time."

  His nonchalant voice traveled across the river and to the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats across from him light a gentle breeze.

  More than one hundred people were still waddling in the river, but when they saw Happy and the two dragon-shaped vortices, no one did anything extreme anymore.

  "Shut! Up!

  "Why should we leave?! Just because you're slightly better, you think you're above us all?! Do you think that you can kill as you please just because you're good?!"

  Someone among the crowd on the deck in the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat across from Happy began making a ruckus.

  "I don't want to argue with you. We're in the world of martial artists, and there are many things that are out of our control. Since we're all in this mess, then we'll have to rely on our fists to talk. If you have any opinions, you can come and fight me!"

  Happy stared at that p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat in the distance without flying into a rage. "If you don't have the skills to do so, you can use your head and stir up the people beside you to fight against me. If you succeed, that'll also mean that you're good."

  Happy could tell with just one glance that the speaker did not want to reveal his status, but he hoped to use his words to make everyone displeased with the situation and stir up public indignation.

  But Happy's words extinguished the bit of anger in the people's hearts.

  However, that person remained ignorant of the situation.

  "What do you mean by there are many things that are out of our control since we're in the world of martial artists? All you want to do is monopolize Eunuch Yang's Warehouse for Mu Clan, just like what you did with Sky Demon Secret Cave, but you make yourself sound so respectable and upright!"

  The speaker did not notice that the people in front of him had begun moving away quickly, and the crowd around him had become sparse.

  Happy narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly saw the speaker's face clearly.

  He chuckled coldly in his heart.

  'What a diabolical woman. I don't care whether she came to the Chinese world of martial artists to carry out her quest or to gain some benefits from the Chinese martial arts elites, but I didn't expect this Goryeon woman to have such a great understanding of the situation in the Chinese world of martial artists. And she even has the guts to try and scheme against me.

  'If she succeeded in provoking the martial artists to attack me, this place would be drenched in blood, and her group would go underwater to loot.

  'My death would make Snow Spirit even more haughty and ensure that she would look down on the entire Chinese world of martial artists.'

  "I didn't expect a Goryeon like you to have such a clear understanding of the situation in the Chinese world of martial artists."

  Happy's words made the river suddenly fall silent.

  "Is that woman called Snow Spirit also on the boat?"

  The Goryeon man tensed. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but did not say anything. Clearly, he was completely unprepared for the fact that Happy may suddenly expose him. He was lost for words, and his face turned pale.

  The people beside him were originally a little baffled, but when they saw the Goryeon man's reaction, an inexplicable rage instantly burned in their hearts.

  'What are the intentions of this Goryeon for fanning the flames here?'

  The people on the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat spread out either intentionally or unintentionally and surrounded the Goryeon man.

  He said nothing, but his face turned even paler.

  The string of unforeseen accidents took him completely off guard.

  When he remembered just how great was Happy's influence and strength in the Chinese world of martial artists, he knew that he was in big trouble.

  The slightest careless mistake would not only make them unable to complete their quest, but they might also die!

  "Tell that Snow Spirit that I will give you one day to reach the sea and leave the Chinese server, or else, you will have to bear the consequences."

  Chapter 699 - The Tragedy of the Chinese World of Martial Artists in Happy’s Previous Life

  In truth, Snow Spirit had never left the river.

  Even though she did not have any problems with the fake Xu Zhiling, when she approached the riverbank, she suddenly saw a large group of martial artists impatiently getting on boats, and she could not help but think of a few things.

  She had a certain degree of understanding toward the plot of Twin of Brothers.

  Bright Sword Sect's Sect Master Fu Cailin was the person with the greatest authority in Goryeo and an elite respected by the people, but there were many such elites in the Chinese world of martial artists.

  Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan, Heaven Saber Song Que, Evil King Shi Zhixuan, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Kind Boathouse's Fan Qinghui, the strongest in Dao Sect, Ning Daoqi, and the rest.

  Compared to the sole Myth Realm sect master in Goryeo, there were many elites in the Chinese world of martial artists, and the players there could have a lot of fortunate encounters.

  But that was not the only thing that attracted Snow Spirit's attention. She was actually an inner sect disciple of the greatest sect in Goryeo, Bright Sword Sect and the granddaughter of Samsung Group's director. She set up a Tristar Sword Sect in Goryeo and gathered a lot of elites together to occupy an entire area in Goryeo.

  It was precisely because of the resources she controlled in Goryeo that she was able to gain a full understanding of the Chinese world of martial artists, which had a lot more resources and quests. It was a place full of hidden potential and resources.

  She became sure of it when she witnessed how refined equipment was a common sight in the Chinese server through some of the collaborations between her sect and Towering Palace. The Chinese server's refined equipment far surpassed Goryeo's!

  She could clearly sense that the resources controlled by the four top-class sects in the Chinese server was something Goryeo could not imagine or compare to.

  When Snow Spirit entered this land, she could sense the passion and enthusiasm of the world of martial artists even stronger than before.

  The competition in the Chinese world of martial artists was even more complicated and brutal than in Goryeo. When she was here, she could sense that she had an endless amount of energy and imagination.

  She had to admit that the Chinese world of martial artists was even more attractive than the one in Goryeo in all aspects. Hence, she used the excuse that she was carrying out a quest to stay in the coastal area.

  In truth, she actually was thinking of setting foot in this place to become someone like Happy, Dream Clouds, the Music sisters, and Wind Void, who could control the Chinese server.

  So when she faced the Chinese martial artists fervent pursuit after Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, a crazed and evil thought bloomed in her: she would wait until two parties fought against each other, then her three underlyings would go to the bottom of the river and loot the spoils.

  Snow Spirit loved the feeling of controlling everything from behind the scenes and toying with the heroes of the world.

/>   But she did not expect that Happy would recognize her people from when they visited the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat, and he even mentioned her name.

  Snow Spirit had not even gone down the river, but she already felt like someone had poured cold water over her head, and it was so cold that she felt as if she was in an ice cave.

  Snow Spirit, who always had a great understanding over the movements of the Chinese world of martial artists, knew what would happen to her if her identity was revealed. Not only would her operation fail completely, she might also not be able to continue staying in China as Snow Spirit.

  Happy's warning was loud and clear.

  Within one day, she had to leave China!

  If it were a threat from anyone else, even if it came from Class One Hall, Snow Spirit was confident that through the balance between different factions of power, she would be able to ingeniously protect herself.

  But in the current Chinese world of martial artists, she could not find a power that could balance Mu Clan, and she could not find anyone who could temporarily control Happy.

  Wandering Know-it-all was a legend in China.

  There was no one who could hide from his Universe Secrets Inkstone in the Chinese world of martial artists.

  The p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats full of martial artists turned around and left.

  They could sense the cold killing intent coming from the large p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat very clearly!

  The people in the river also sensed that the atmosphere outside was even colder than when they were in the river. All of them paddled away from the large p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat.

  The river became calm once more.

  But Happy did not manage to calm down even after a long time had passed.

  Someone had violated his taboo, and it was very difficult for him to let go of it.

  He might not like foreign players and foreign factions of power, but he would not intentionally pick on them and kill them as quickly as he could because of some normal conflicts.

  But the Chinese world of martial artists was very complicated and brutal, and there were still foreign players who came over to cause trouble by doing incredibly baffling things. They stirred up strife shamelessly and fanned the flames.

  It was because of such people who did everything they could for their own benefits that the Chinese server, which should have progressed much faster than other regions and been ahead of the entire world in World of Martial Artists, found itself engaged in all sorts of bloody conflicts and baffling fights that started during the second year of the game. The players were all involved in various fights that they could not get out of even if they wanted to.

  After each fight, some of the foreign factions of power would grow swiftly, which was the reason why during the third year, some foreign factions of power had managed to catch up to China's rhythm.

  It was precisely because of this reason that World of Martial Arts organized the international martial arts tournament known as Sword Among Us tournament. It was due to the pressure and demands from all sides.

  It was the greatest martial arts tournament in the game. Even though it witnessed the mightiest moment of all of the martial arts in the world, to some of the elites in the Chinese server, the organization of this grand event made the reputation of the Chinese server plummet to the ground.

  Many of the elites never joined the Sword Among Us tournament. They had noticed the despicable methods and acts taken by some of the foreign factions of power, and they did not want to be part of their world.

  Such actions allowed Happy to make his way to the top victorious!

  *****

  In this life, the seed of revenge had been buried deep in Happy's heart, but he also did not want to see the tragedy of his previous life happen again!

  Right now, the Chinese world of martial arts was no longer the same as it was in his previous life.

  The four top-class sects each occupied an area, and whoever formed an alliance with any foreign faction of power would find Happy using every method he could possibly take to interfere with their actions without hesitation.

  He was the leader of Mu Clan and the strongest player in the Chinese world of martial artists.

  It was an honor, but also a responsibility.

  *****

  Happy stared at the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats gradually leaving into the distance, and his emotions slowly calmed down. He returned to the hall and changed to Xu Zhiling's appearance.

  He knew that Snow Spirit would not earnestly leave China.

  Not only would she be reluctant to give up on the resources and fortuitous events in China, but she would also not be willing to give up on the promise Xu Zhiling might give her—Fu Juncao's relics.

  She would definitely think of a way to continue staying in China to learn a few of the ultimate techniques from Bright Sword Sect.

  Happy did not wish for Snow Spirit to meet the real Xu Zhiling.

  Flap, flap, flap!

  Chapter 700 - Three Women on the Same Platform, the Toughest Moment

  Two hours was actually not difficult for Happy.

  The first group of people who tried to get on the boat and bother him were evil cultists. Once he sent them away, the evil cult seemed to be certain that Xu Zhiling was still on the boat and did not try to continue testing the waters. Happy used that time lag to resume his real identity and strength and frightened away a large group of players. After that, the events that followed instantly became easier and much more relaxing.

  Happy sat on the deck with a pot of wine while he stared at the moon in the sky. He poured his own wine under the gentle breeze and looked incredibly pleased with the situation.

  An unknown amount of time passed before the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boats began to move again.

  A snow-white figure drifted forward lightly; she was like Chang E from the moon. She drifted over from the river and landed at the top of the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat soundlessly.

  "Zhiling." A nice fragrance wafted into Happy's nose, and a light as well as pleasant sound with a faint hint of elegance as well as melancholy rose in his ears.

  Happy instantly smiled in anguish.

  'I didn't expect that she'd be here as well…'

  The fake Xu Zhiling continued sitting at the top of the boat while holding a winecup in one hand. He did not look at the beautiful lady who had appeared beside him.

  Happy knew that if he met her gaze, he would instantly betray his thoughts, and Shi Feixuan would see flaws in his disguise.

  Fortunately, she did not realize that. She looked down from above and did not notice anything wrong with the fake"Xu Zhiling". She stared at him while he continued holding his winecup and looking at the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat in the distance.

  "Zhiling, you don't seem to find my presence here pleasant. Are you cross with me?"

  Happy poured himself more wine and used his actions to respond.

  As expected, Shi Feixuan, who always paid attention to communicating through the soul, immediately sensed Xu Zhiling's "disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e", and a flash of resignation appeared on her face. "I know that you dislike my act of helping Li Shimin search for Kuo Zhong, because there will come a day when Li Shimin and Kuo Zhong's armies will meet each other in a war."

  She stopped talking for a moment, and the melancholy in her eyes grew stronger. "I do not wish for that day to come as well."

  Happy said nothing. He filled up half his cup before his hands froze in midair, but he still did not look at Shi Feixuan.

  She sighed softly and cast a glance at him.

  "I hope that you and Kuo Zhong can be safe and that the world can receive a wise king so that the people can live in peace."

  The fake Xu Zhiling remained silent and continued pouring himself wine.

  "Zhiling, please don't be angry. I'm not saying that Kuo Zhong cannot be a king, because both of you know about the suffering of the people, but Kind Boathouse has predicted that only the second young master of the Li Family will be able to give the world peace among
all the heroes of the world."

  When she finished speaking, the fake Xu Zhiling closed his eyes and downed his wine in one go.

  "Zhiling, do you hate me so much that you aren't willing to speak to me?"

  Shi Feixuan's voice was gentle and charming. When she spoke, it seemed to be able to touch the soft part of a person's heart, making them drunk on her voice, and Happy felt it becoming harder for him to continue pretending.

  "Hmph."

  At that moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the river.

  Happy frowned.

  'The witch also came to join in the mess! Ah, this is bad! I'm so screwed!'

  He might be able to use quietness to deal with Shi Feixuan, but against Wan Wan, who was incredibly proactive and cunning, such an act would not work.

  While Happy thought about it, the seductive witch flew over the river under the moonlight and appeared on the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e boat in an incredibly lovely manner.

  "What are you doing here?!"

  Shi Feixuan frowned slightly. Clearly, she harbored no affection for Wan Wan. The evil cult and Kind Boathouse had always been mortal enemies. The fact that she did not immediately draw her weapon already showed great self-restraint.

  Wan Wan did not like Shi Feixuan, who was the successor taught by Kind Boathouse, nor the tone she adopted. She found herself a little unable to handle it and quirked her eyebrows. "Hmph, are you the only one allowed to come and search for information? While I'm not even allowed to accompany Zhiling?"

  "Who said that I'm here to search for information about the army?"

  "Then what are you doing here? It's midnight, and you're both alone…"

  When it came to oratory skills, Shi Feixuan could definitely not compare to Wan Wan. As expected, with fewer than three sentences, she was so infuriated that she was prepared to draw her sword.

  When Happy saw that the atmosphere between the two women had instantly become hostile, he g.r.o.a.n.e.d in his heart.

  But when it came to the two women, Happy could not quite bear the thought of attacking either of them. Besides, they were Xu Zhiling's friends, and if he attacked them, Xu Zhiling might take action against him when he came back.
