Sword Among Us c1-1268

  However, the atmosphere at the entrance to Ghost's Domain was rather tense.

  More than ten Class One Hall elites with extraordinary presences stood at the sides of the canyon and blocked. They were decked in full armor, and they stared at the parties who were prepared to enter Ghost's Domain from outside. Their gazes moved back and forth each person's face, and when they saw someone wearing a Bamboo Hat, they will also have that person remove the hat so that they can take a look at their faces, but that was not including female players.

  When he saw this, it was not difficult for Happy to guess that the people Class One Hall arranged in this place were there to "welcome" him.

  This group of people were rather level-headed. Their gazes were sharp, while they did not speak much and did not have a lot of people with them, the players who passed by did not dare offend them when they saw these people. They all behaved and were very cooperative when they removed their Bamboo Hats. Clearly, they were rather reputable people in Ghost's Domain, or rather, they were rather reputable people in the game itself.

  'They finally sent someone good over.' Happy chuckled coldly. Then, under Hunter Clan's gazes, he removed his Bamboo Hat, jumped off his horse, put away his Horse Plate, and headed to the crowd.

  Just as he expected, Happy soon attracted the attention of those elites from Class One Hall soon after he started deviating from the crowd. Quite a number of Class One Hall members who had nothing to do walked over with solemn expressions.

  When the other Class One Hall members near the entrance saw this, they locked down on Happy. They no longer paid attention to the flow of people entering Ghost's Domain, and with differing expressions, they surrounded him.

  "He's mine."

  Among the Class One Hall elites was a young man. He drew two daggers from his waist with dexterous movements. He licked the blade of a dagger in a bloodthirsty manner, and without any warning, he suddenly rushed toward Happy.

  Compared to Fu Tianqiong's incessant rambling while he attacked, this young man did not seem to intend to converse with Happy at all. Clear killing intent shone in his eyes.

  The message in his gaze was very clear.

  Happy said nothing.

  When he faced the young man who suddenly increased his speed and rushed toward him, he maintained a calm expression. He did not slow down and continued moving forward with steady footsteps. It was as if he did not see the daggers in the young man's hands and the powerful killing intent in his eyes.

  The young man dashed more 196 feet forward, widening the distance between him and the Class One Hall members behind him and quickly shortening the distance between him and Happy.

  The blatant killing intent had already shocked a lot of players nearby. Many of them stopped moving and looked over with shock and bewilderment.

  "Ha!"

  When the young man was thirty-two feet away from Happy, he increased his speed again, and his body turned into layers of afterimages. The daggers also vanished from his hands.

  He activated his charge at a perfect moment, and he was just in time to avoid the hidden force Happy had quietly delivered.

  Happy quickly appraised his strength. 'He's stronger than Fu Tianqiong. At the very least, he did well in the details and timing of his attacks. His dodging and his act of exercising restraint on his aggression are done pretty well too.

  'He duel wields, huh? And his play style is close-quarters assassination…

  'Looks like he's very confident in assassinating me at close-quarters.'

  But unfortunately for him, this young man chose to fight against Happy when close-quarters combat was Happy's domain. Even if he was incredibly good with duel-wielding daggers, Happy never liked fighting against others in their domain. This was his principle.

  "You—"

  This was the first time Petite Dragon and Dragon Capture were used in succession in this world. The young man cried out in surprise, but it was already too late for him to react to the situation. His hands were bent in a strange angle, and his daggers pierced into his own neck with a thud.

  It was a pity for the confident man, because before he can even deliver one strike, he was instantly killed by Happy's lightning fast attack, and he was even killed by his own weapon.

  Only Happy alone was able to see the series of actions clearly.

  He pushed away the corpse, and Happy resumed walking forward calmly. He continued to move leisurely and in a composed manner toward the Class One Hall members.

  Bang!

  The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground caused the Class One Hall members to stop moving for a while.

  The group of people stared at the dual-wielding young man's gradually blurring corpse with grave expressions. A number of them originally had mocking smiles on their faces, and those smiles instantly turned a lot stiffer than before.

  The people in the area saw this silent battle to the death that happened in an instant, and none of them made a single sound, as if they had agreed to this beforehand.

  A tense and grave atmosphere spread out from between Class One Hall and Happy.

  Class One Hall stopped, but Happy continued moving toward the entrance to Ghost's Domain without stopping. Both sides drew closer to each other.

  As Happy moved closer, an awe-inspiring presence quickly acc.u.mulated on him, and it was so intense that it looked as if it was about to explode at any second.

  This was the mighty presence Happy gradually acc.u.mulated after he killed a person, and it swiftly grew because Class One Hall stopped moving.

  When it acc.u.mulated to a certain degree, there will definitely be some people who cannot stand it.

  Just as he expected, Happy had taken less than ten steps forward before two people from Class One Hall finally noticed that their actions were not only helping Happy acc.u.mulate power and influence over them, it was also helping him suppress their own might. Their action was a very clear show of weakness.

  "Attack!"

  The duo looked at each other, and they stomped against the ground before they charged at Happy from the left and right.

  'Pity,' Happy thought.

  Now, he only managed to force two people to attack, and it was not a satisfying result.

  But since they came, he would kill them.

  Regardless of whether it was the amateurs from Blood Alliance, Fu Tianqiong, who died outside Beijing, none of them made him feel that Dream Clouds and Blood Robes had decided to truly attack him.

  But now, he finally sensed something.

  He could now sense that he was being confronted by Class One Hall, and he could sense Dream Clouds' gaze on him, even that feeling was faint.

  This was a good sign.

  Happy was already prepared to establish his might in this fight, and he wanted to give Dream Clouds his first gift. Naturally, he intended to fight at full strength and not hide anything.

  One of the two people who came at him held a saber, and the other placed his hand behind his back. There was a hidden weapons pouch at his waist, along with a row of throwing knives.

  Before they reached him, the throwing knives already brought about shrill sounds of air being sliced in the air.

  But the real danger was that black saber glare.

  A powerful wind charged at him. The black saber glare tore out a trench on the ground like it was paper, and it quickly arrived in front of Happy.

  Killing intent was concealed within the cage they created for Happy.

  The duo worked well together. The attack they instantly formed together created a death trap with no means of escape. Happy cannot avoid the attacks, and when Hunter Clan saw this, they could not help but cry out in fear.

  "Careful!"

  When the hidden weapons elite saw that Happy seemed to have stopped moving in alarm and did not dodge the attacks, he cackled coldly, and the few Butterfly Darts in the air suddenly increased their speed to weave a net of death. They instantly enveloped their target.

  However, at the mom
ent those Butterfly Darts increased their speed, Happy took one step forward just in time.

  At the same time, his body twisted. The throwing knives and Butterfly Darts instantly missed their target. All of them stabbed into the ground, and they were then flipped off the ground because of that sharp saber glare.

  The duo's pupils shrank.

  The distance between them swiftly shortened.

  The hidden weapons elite did not dare remain idle. He flung both his arms at the same time.

  This time, the saber-wielding elite did not work together with him. Their rhythm had already been disrupted by Happy.

  When the saber-wielding elite realized what was happening, he noticed that Happy had decided to let them continue making mistakes in their attacks, and with profound steps, he coincidentally avoided four hidden weapons in succession.

  Whoosh!

  The black saber glare appeared once more.

  But unfortunately for them, it was already too late.

  Right when the saber-wielding elite locked down on his target and attacked, Happy had already moved to the side resolutely and quickly before he rushed forward, and he stuck close to the attack trajectory for the saber glare to rush forward until he was thirty-two feet away from the hidden weapons elite.

  "Stop him!"

  The hidden weapons elite stomped against the ground and jumped back quickly.

  But right when he stepped against the ground, a fierce hidden force rushed into his body from the ground. He coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and he nearly loosened his grip over the hidden weapons that he was about to throw.

  What Happy expected was true.

  While these people were pretty good, their area of expertise was different. Not everyone had a great understanding toward hidden force, and not everyone had a body fortification like Fu Tianqiong's.

  Hidden weapons elites were more adept at hiding behind a group while injuring others. Their defense was not great, and they needed someone protecting them. Once he delivered his hidden force, he was immediately successful in his attack.

  However, the saber-wielding elite clearly had great teamwork with the hidden weapons user. When he saw that he was injured, he stepped forward to block Happy, and layered saber glares bloomed in front of him like a black lotus. It was dangerous, but beautiful.

  This was not an offensive attack.

  When the hidden weapons elite was injured, the saber-wielding elite resolutely chose to defend.

  'Interesting.' Happy could tell that their division of labor was very clear.

  When they had the advantage, they would attack together. If they were at a disadvantage, one would defend, and the other attacked. After all, one person would have a hard time defeating two enemies.

  "Break!"

  Happy's expression did not change. The hidden weapons elite did not manage to immediately recover from the blow, and Happy seized this chance. He stared at the black lotus in front of him and resolutely moved into it.

  The saber-wielding elite executed even more saber glares.

  But a force struck his blade head on. The saber-wielding elite felt his arm becoming numb. He widened his eyes, and he heard the sound of air being pushed aside. That sound was coming straight at him.

  His companion's pained grunt rose behind him!

  After freezing for a moment, he turned his head around to look, and he saw that Happy had his hand wrapped around his friend. His friend's head tilted to the side, and his face quickly turned blurry.

  Out of the blue, a powerful chill crept down the Class One Hall members' spines.

  Happy's choice was too rational, and his attack was incredibly ruthless. He did not give them a chance to attack at all.

  Just now, he did not immediately fight against the saber-wielding elite because his body fortification had been activated in time. If Happy had hesitated for even half a second, the situation might not have ended like it did right now.

  The person with the saber was He Yi, and his body fortification was slightly stronger than Fu Tianqiong.

  When the hidden weapons elite died, the person who was originally supposed to hold Happy was gone, and even He Yi himself lost the confidence to win against him, because he was not confident that he can survive under the hands of someone who managed to break his saber technique in an instant.

  Happy flung his arm, and the corpse in his hand was thrown high into the air. It flew straight to He Yi.

  Happy, He Yi, and the remaining Class One Hall elites practically moved at the same time!

  Chapter 951 - Grieving Needle

  "They're fighting!"

  "Awesome!"

  "They're all elites. The people sent by Class One Hall are clearly the small Beijing party that are stationed here all year round to train, and they're the high-end members of the sect. The one who died just now is He Yi. I know him, he's at the level of a branch master… Whew, just who is the person fighting against Class One Hall? He's awesome! He's fighting against more than ten elites alone… and he actually managed to kill the fifth person?!"

  "Idiot! That's Happy, the one who killed Fu Tianqiong at Beijing. One and a half years ago, he's an elite who nearly got into the top eight in the world! Look at his skills—What body movement is that?! What the heck?! How did he manage to dodge that?!"

  More players came to the area outside Ghost's Domain to watch the fight.

  "It's impossible that he's this good! Impossible!"

  "My friends, don't hold back today. Give it your hall! If we don't kill Happy, how are we supposed to face the others?!"

  The Class One Hall elites were originally a little embarrassed of working together to kill Happy while there was a crowd watching them and only had a few people be in charge of attacking, but as Happy seized various chances and injured the sixth person severely before killing him, the ones remaining could no longer stay still.

  "We can't delay this any further."

  "Fight at full strength! Even though it's embarrassing that we have to kill him by surrounding him, but if rumors get out that more than ten of us are killed by him alone, it'll definitely be even more embarrassing for us! Attack!"

  The group of people gritted their teeth, and the confidence on their faces had already been replaced by solemnity and wariness. They activated their qi realms and their body fortifications, and some people even switched from the equipment they used to train to the equipment they used to fight.

  "They're angry now…"

  "As expected of Happy. This is a high-end training group from Class One Hall, but even they have to fight at full force."

  The players watching did not dare speak loudly. Their exclamations of surprise were limited to a small area.

  Ever since Hunter Clan saw how Happy managed to kill his sixth opponent easily while surrounded by enemies, they were in high spirits, and they were almost to start performing a standing ovation for Happy.

  "So? Your team leader has pretty good judgment, right? I told you that once Happy reaches Moksha Realm, he's definitely much stronger than the usual player." Mu Qi was grinning so much that he could not stop. His eyes sparkled while he stared at the figure fighting intensely in the battlefield.

  The Gu poison user beside him stared at Happy's figure without blinking. She asked in puzzlement, "That's strange. I can understand how Happy can move with ease among beasts, but these are Class One Hall elites, there's no reason for them to miss their target multiple times. Is there a lightness skill at Life and Death Realm that is so powerful?"

  "Er…"

  "It might be Happy's secret. Speak no further about it." Mu Qi sent her a private message, and the Gu poison user instantly shut her mouth in a show of great sense.

  "They charged in!"

  At that moment, a surprised shout suddenly rose from the side.

  Hunter Clan quickly moved and chased after Happy as well as Class One Hall.

  Fierce, nonstop wind generated by kicks caused that Class One Hall elite to be kicked into the canyon in
Ghost's Domain like a punching bag.

  The remaining Class One Hall members became anxious. They chased after them into the canyon.

  At that moment, even the people outside became anxious.

  The visibility in the canyon in Ghost's Domain was bad, and if they were just slightly further away from the place, they would not even be able to see what was happening.

  This was especially so when it came to this sort of high-end fights. They were as quick as the wind and fierce as lightning. The tempo in these fights was very fast, and only a handful of people standing at the entrance to the canyon can vaguely see a few figures inside, but they were completely helpless when it came to observing the details in this. They only heard continuous grunts and continuous sound of palm-generated wind rise. They also saw a few people's figures move among the shadows and light from weapons. They looked like a blurry movie with crude images.

  The people outside were even worse off. They continued trying to squeeze inside, but the entrance to the canyon was already narrow to begin with, and it had been blocked for a long time. There were now too many people gathered there, and it was impossible for the people to get closer for the time being.

  "I can't see clearly."

  "People in front! Move, will you?!"

  "Move, my foot! Don't you know what goes on inside Ghost's Domain? Who will be able to see clearly?! If you want to participate in the fight, I don't mind tossing you inside!"

  There were plenty of elites who trained regularly in Ghost's Domain, and naturally, they understood the rule of remaining silent in the area. When they heard this, they did not hold back in shouting back.

  "Ah! So noisy! What's the point in arguing?! Those who know the rules, shut up! If you don't have the ability to discern locations based on the sound of wind, why did you even come over to train in Ghost's Domain?"
