Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  Their average speed was astonishing. They soon traveled for nearly one-third of a mile, but they still did not manage to surpass the speed of the horses.

  Happy turned his head around to look. The Noble Sword in his hands was unsheathed with a clang, and a chilling glare shone on the dark plains.

  "Your qi recovered?"

  Yu Yan was eager to fight as wind roared violently around her.

  Happy smiled faintly and nodded. "Same rules. I'll break through. You follow behind me and get points. Activate your body fortification. Remember not to jump into the air. As long as there are not many people attacking you, with the equipment you prepared for yourself, you should be able to last for some time."

  "Okay!" Yu Yan nodded.

  Right after he finished speaking, Happy turned around without hesitation and charged back from where he came.

  Boom!

  Since he no longer needed to put on a disguise and exercise restraint, he activated the qi for Moksha Realm straightaway and tapped against the ground. Then, like an arrow fired from a bow, he shot toward the large cavalier unit 492 feet away at an even faster speed.

  Rumble! Rumble!

  At that moment, the large number of patrolling cavaliers had already gathered together to form a large cavalier unit that comprised of hundreds of people. Nearly one hundred torches illuminated the rear brightly. If anyone was fleeing from them and turned around to look right then, they will feel a suffocating pressure.

  Boom!

  The horse hooves sounded like thunder when they rushed into Happy's ears.

  The pressure increased by leaps and bounds.

  Under the firelight, he saw hundreds of cavaliers charge aggressively at him like a swarm of wild beasts. Even Happy was nearly shaken by it.

  But he knew that this was not the time for him to be distracted or hesitant.

  "Hah!" he growled, and Happy activated Nine Yang Divine Skill and Phantasmal Body Movement Skill to the max. The explosive strength within him increased once more.

  Whoosh! WHOOSH!

  Practically all of the Mongolian cavaliers had extraordinary archery skills while they were riding. Right when Happy entered their shooting range, the people at the front row grasped the strings of their bows, nocked the arrows, and fired.

  The arrows were like black dots under the light from the torches. With sharp sounds of air being pierced through, the black dots quickly became larger in front of Happy's eyes.

  Happy was not terrified, but was delighted.

  He had already obtained Shifting Stars for nearly one month. He already had some experience with Murong Clan's ultimate technique, and he had also used it a few times during real combat.

  He practically activated this skill instinctively, and the dense wave of arrows coming at him surrounded him before they flew back to the cavalier unit.

  Thud! Thud! Thud!

  The Mongolian cavaliers right in front were caught off guard, and they cried out in surprise before they fell off their horses.

  "AAAHHHH!!"

  "Hiss…"

  Many horses had their horse hooves shot through.

  Bang!

  Thud!

  Dozens of Mongolian cavaliers fell off their horses, and they crashed against the ground along their horses.

  Happy seized the chance to charge into the now chaotic cavalier unit!

  He activated Arhat Body!

  Even though he only wore a normal grade one masterpiece at the third echelon, normal Mongolian cavaliers already had a hard time to cause harm to him.

  The power in each sword slash in Universe's Lightning Destruction Style surpassed twenty thousand.

  The Mongolian armored cavaliers had their steeds equipped with light armor, and it provided them with a certain degree of protection, but when Happy attacked at full force, that armor still found it hard to withstand Happy's attacks.

  If they only suffered light injuries, they will be crippled, but if they suffered heavy injuries, they died right on the spot!

  The Mongolian cavaliers who rushed near Happy all fell off their horses, and in incredibly pathetic fashions, when they landed on the ground, they pounced on him.

  One group!

  Two groups!

  Thud thud!

  Dozens of arrows shot through Happy's afterimage.

  "Darn it!"

  At that moment, Happy finally found the situation a little challenging.

  Even though his counterattack for the arrows and his charge had sent no fewer than two hundred cavaliers off their horses, the cavaliers behind them still continued to nock their arrows and fire at them. They were very difficult to deal with. While he might not have a hard time even if he did not send all these people off their horses, he was worried that Yu Yan will have a hard time.

  While he thought things through, the large group of Mongolian cavaliers had already surrounded him with an aggressive presence!

  When he saw this, Happy's expression turned cold.

  "Get lost!"

  He swung the longsword in his hands in one swift circle, and it was like a silver full moon.

  Before the enemies around him could see what had happened clearly, the sharp sword glare instantly cut through at least eight Mongolian cavaliers' throats. Their bodies froze, and they fell at the same time around Happy.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The arrow shower arrived at him.

  This time, even Happy was accidentally shot by one arrow. The force in the arrow crashed violently against his shoulder, and half of his shoulder nearly became numb.

  Fortunately, the defense in Arhat Body had already increased to a little over five thousand, and it could negate a certain percentage of damage, otherwise, when he revealed the slightest bit of weakness, the Mongolian cavaliers around him will seize the chance to attack him, and the results will be catastrophic!

  He was annoyed, and Happy was forced to activate Shifting Stars once more.

  This time, since he faced the damage from the arrows and the threat from the cavaliers who came at him from everywhere, he became much more focused than before. He also instinctively turned the trajectory of his counterattack at the cavaliers around him.

  Then, something unbelievable happened!

  The strange power of the seven stars overturned the universe, causing the arrows that arrived next to him turn a small semi-circle around him. They went off course slightly before they stabbed viciously into the Mongolian cavaliers who approached them.

  When the arrows pierced into them, the sounds of their bodies being shot through rose very close in his ears.

  The Mongolian men who drew close to Happy were thrown off their feet by a great force. They were sent flying away. The people at the periphery were caught off guard, and they were knocked back as well.

  There was a strange hint of shock remaining on Happy's face while he stood safe within the encirclement. A great urge to seize that thought he just had rose in his heart.

  At that moment, the Mongolian cavaliers' attacks and arrows drew close to him once more.

  Chapter 815 - A Great Army, Swimming Dragon

  "Don't let her run!"

  "After her! Capture her and go back for rewards!"

  Yu Yan was chased around by a group of Mongolian cavaliers on the plains until she entered a small battlefield.

  The group of fierce Mongolian cavaliers were like a pack of evil hounds who chased behind Yu Yan. While they shouted, they tried to surround her.

  Unfortunately, Yu Yan was a very vigilant person. While she shifted about to maintain a set distance with her closest enemy, the demonic blade in her hands kept on executing different moves. Saber light and sword shadows were executed by one person alone, and one among the dozens of Mongolian cavaliers behind her will die once every few seconds.

  If Happy saw this at this moment, he will definitely gasp in amazement.

  Yu Yan was becoming more and more familiar with her attacks.

  Her robes danced about, and she moved around
like an elf in front of the enemy army. The demonic blade in her hands will turn into a saber at one moment, then a sword in the next. Her techniques changed constantly, and she could execute them at will!

  When saber glares appeared, the momentum was astonishing, fierce, and domineering. They were filled with an aura that could destroy everything.

  Every time she killed someone and her opponents could begin predicting her next move, she will not be in a hurry to increase the distance between them. Instead, she will either slash or thrust at them using the momentum of her previous attack to cut into the throat or stab a vital of the Mongolian cavalier beside her.

  She continuously attacked, and a continuous stream of corpses were left behind her. Half of more than sixty Mongolian men died because of Yu Yan's kiting.

  But Yu Yan did not notice that while she was enjoying kiting and getting points, two cavaliers appeared on a small slope some miles away.

  Their breathing was long, and when they arrived at the slope, they immediately noticed the chaotic firelight as well as the large group of Mongolian cavaliers in the distance.

  The dim light caused no one to be able to see their faces, but based on their physique, they were definitely not Mongolian armored cavaliers.

  Those two people observed from above the slope, and one of them suddenly said, "Looks like most of them are our people, and there aren't many enemies. I reckon that the enemies were on a mission to infiltrate our base, but were discovered by our reconnoiterers. There's nothing interesting about it."

  These two had actually been attracted to the place by the signal flare just now and had deliberately come over here to investigate the situation, but since they were too far away, they could not see the situation clearly. They thought that the people from the plains were already killed, and they had no interest in the situation.

  "But since we're already here, we might as well go and take a look. We might be able to get some kills."

  "Hey, they're actually still fighting. Alright. Let's go and take a look."

  Those two tugged at their reins and quietly sped to the battlefield, where sparks were flying everywhere.

  *****

  Whoosh!

  Thud thud!

  Arrows flew in the air. When they approached Happy's body, all of them will leave their original course. Under Happy's control, they will fly everywhere, and all of them will stab into the Mongolian men's bodies around him.

  'There's no mistaking it. This is the feeling.'

  After executing Shifting Stars a few times, the Mongolian cavaliers around him were all killed. Nearly two hundred corpses were piled up everywhere in the area. There was no longer any place for him to walk on the ground. The only Mongolians remaining in the battlefield were those who still drew their bows and nocked their arrows not too far in the distance. Their faces were pale and sour, and they stared at Happy as if they were looking at a monster.

  But it was no wonder why they reacted this way. After all, every time they fired their arrows, the arrows will never land on their enemy, but will instead pierce through their companions' bodies.

  There seemed to be some kind of strange power protecting this person that caused him to not be injured by arrows. Later on, they did not even see this person attack. He only used arrows to kill their companions, and those arrows all came from them!

  'There's no mistaking it. This is the profound secret of Shifting Stars. I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me… But the "you" mentioned is not the same as the "you" I think it is. Just as I thought, I can change my target as I please, and if that's the case, the flexibility in this technique is very great.'

  Even though Shifting Stars had certain requirements toward qi when it was used, Nine Yang Divine Skill could compensate a part of the large amount of qi he used if he continuously utilized this ultimate technique. Besides, his qi realm had already reached Moksha Realm. He will only be unable to use Shifting Stars if he fell below Life and Death Realm.

  With Happy's current total amount of qi, he can use it continuously for nearly one minute.

  Right now, the effect of this one minute was that he could use the Mongolian cavaliers and kill nearly two hundred Mongolian cavaliers who lost their steeds!

  Happy thought. 'Shifting Stars is indeed the best weapon in group fights. It can protect the user and kill. As long as the user has enough qi, he or she will basically be invincible, but that is only if they did not run into Myth Realm elites.'

  While he thought about this, the Mongolian cavaliers instantly snapped out of their shock. A clear and deep order rose from the group. "Put away your bows and arrows, form your formations and charge at him!"

  The Mongolian cavaliers, numbering to more than two hundred of them, quickly responded to the order. They quickly gathered together from their formerly spread out formation. Their bows and arrows were put away, and they brought out scimitars and axes that shone with chilling glares from their waists.

  Happy could see clearly, and hence, he found the Mongolian cavalier who gave the order from the group with just one glance.

  He was built like a giant, and his arm was about the size of a person's waist. He held a large double-bladed axe, and he gave off an intimidating presence. The man's steed also gave off an astonishing presence. It was a large beast decked in metallic scale armor. There was even sharp metallic horns on its head, and it gave off the feeling that it was not a horse, but a monster.

  '100-man commander? Or a 1,000-man commander?'

  When he saw this person, Happy was slightly shocked, but he still felt his heart race.

  Because when the enemy's rank was higher, the more points he will get.

  A 100-man commander will get him two hundred points, and a 1,000-man commander will get him five hundred points. If he killed them, he will gain an even greater sense of achievement compared to killing normal Mongolian cavaliers.

  There were only dozens of feet between them. Both sides instantly closed in on each other!

  The momentum formed by two hundred or so cavaliers when they launched a charge might not be as great as a large cavalier unit, but it was still enough to make a person feel intimidated, and they will also feel greatly pressured.

  Happy originally wanted to use Shifting Stars to get rid of all of them, but at that moment, he had to get rid of his thought to continue using Shifting Stars, because the physical impact from a close-range attack was very bothersome.

  Rumble! Rumble!

  Te faced the cavaliers' charge once more, and this time, he cannot use arrows to help him. Even Happy frowned a little at the situation. His eyes sparkled, and he swung his sword once calmly before he quickly put away his weapon and switched to the fourth-echelon Heavenly Silk King Ice Gloves.

  The dozens of Mongolian cavaliers in front of him felt their steeds lowering their bodies a little, and by then, they were already flung off by a powerful inertia.

  "ROAR!"

  A dragon's roar rose at the same time.

  Happy tapped against the ground, and his arms brought with them a mighty dragon-shaped vortex as he charged into the enemy formation without hesitation.

  Even though it was difficult to use fist techniques in the battlefield, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was different from other martial arts. It was a skill that became stronger the longer the user used it in a single battle! The tremendous damage contained in it was rather astonishing.

  With Wind Spirit Spin, Happy easily crushed two Mongolians' heads. He moved, and with one Petite Dragon, he avoided several snow white scimitars coming at his neck.

  After all, the reactions of Mongolian cavaliers were refined and trained from multiple life and death situations. In fact, their reaction time was even greater than the martial artists. If their enemy showed even the slightest pause, they will have multiple people attack one single person. At that moment, Happy could only use Petite Dragon to be able to move around at ease in their formation.

  But Happy will not let them have such an e
asy time!

  Boom!

  He approached one of them, and a huge force gushed out from his palms. One Mongolian cavalier's steed let out a shrill and panicked neigh.

  More than ten cavaliers fell to the ground.

  The two Mongolian cavaliers who rushed over here from the distance were just in time to see this scene, and they widened their eyes swiftly!

  Chapter 816 - Points

  The power within the cavaliers' charge was very terrifying, but when they faced a single target and could not even see their target, the situation will be very awkward for them. This was the current situation for the Mongolian cavaliers.

  Only the people in the innermost circle could see Happy. The people at the back formed an encirclement, but not only could they not attack the person inside, they were even affected by the person inside.

  As for Happy, the ferocity of his strikes just became greater the more he fought!

  The further into a fight Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was, the fiercer and tougher it was. The tornadoes around him will also weaken the damage dealt on him as well, which will reduce the damage he will have to suffer, though the effect cannot be seen clearly. Still, this will allow him to have greater advantages in group fights.

  In the beginning, Happy had to use Petite Dragon to avoid attacks and counterattacks, but gradually, Happy no longer avoided some of the attacks that were not that much of a threat to him. He faced danger head on, and the dragon roars seemed to have contained a domineering air as well!

  Dozens of Mongolian cavaliers were sent flying away by the roaring golden dragon, and a bloody path was f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y made! Happy jumped into the air, and while he was airborne, he continuously attacked with his palms. The dragon-shaped qi force contained a freezing aura, and it caused the Mongolian cavaliers around him to find it difficult to get close to him.

  Happy's gaze was determined. He charged into the group with brute force and went straight to the cavalier who had a solemn expression on his face. His target was the leader of the Mongolian cavaliers, the one with the astonishing presence who just kept giving orders to the cavaliers under his command.
