Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  Cling cling clang clang!

  The spear and sword crashed against each other, and numerous sparks that intersected with each other instantly flew in the air. They were like scattered fireworks that were filled with a torn but tragically beautiful air.

  "Hahahaha! What right do you have to fight against me with brute strength?!

  "Your level isn't as high as mine, your weapon isn't as great as mine, and your Affinity is much worse! What do you think you can use to fight against me?! Thirteenth, don't move! I'll definitely kill him today!"

  In an instant, the two people clashed against each other, and they exchanged more than ten blows. The evil man's arrogant laughter rang through the canyon.

  But his laughter fell completely silent before it could last for three seconds!

  Third and Thirteenth saw everything clearly, as the evil man missed his attack, Happy suddenly crashed into Seventh's bosom's, and the advantage in longspears instantly turned into a disadvantage. He then had his shoulder seized by Happy.

  Thirteenth widened his eyes, and without hesitation, he stomped against the ground.

  Thud!

  A hidden force shot forward!

  At the same time, it abruptly increased in speed and charged at a shocking pace to the battlefield between the two.

  "Hmph!"

  "Urk!"

  A sickly flush rose on the evil man's face, and he coughed up blood. While Dragon Capture's attack was not strong, the hidden force contained in it, along with the fierce hidden force that came charging at him from the ground, destroyed his defense, and it caused him to be so severely wounded that he coughed up blood.

  Thirteenth's hidden force was used by Happy.

  But Seventh and Third sighed in relief, because if Thirteenth had not delivered that timely hidden force, Seventh's neck might have been cut through.

  Being heavily injured was still better than dying.

  Thirteenth rushed over as if there was wind behind him.

  Thud thud thud!

  Thirteenth moved with steady footsteps and a profound gaze. He did not not swing his axe like a war machine, but instead, dragged his axe and chased after Happy in a straight line.

  The attack speed in an axe was slow, and it had a lot of openings, but Blood Alliance's Thirteenth Elder clearly had a deep understanding toward axe techniques. With a sturdy and impenetrable armor, he could treat himself as a moving tank. His axe became a backup for him, and once anyone got close to him, that person will be faced with a fatal strike.

  '...He's another difficult one.'

  Even with Petite Dragon, Happy did not dare to easily take the initiative to attack or get close to him.

  The attack range for a greataxe was large, and even if he lightly dodged to avoid the attack, he might not be able to succeed.

  When faced with Thirteenth's rapid charge, Happy retreated madly without stopping, and soon, he was quickly forced to a corner near a mountain.

  He could no longer retreat.

  Thirteenth's eyes lit up. When he noticed that Happy was slowing down. His grip around his axe tightened, and his eyes shone with a bright red light. However, right when he was prepared to attack, Happy suddenly sped up and, with an indomitable spirit, used the mountain to assist him in turning around.

  Whoosh!

  Once he turned, he delivered a sword slash.

  It might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but it all ended in a flash.

  Thirteenth's timing in attacking and his momentum paused for a moment because of Happy slowing down before speeding up. This elite, who had a high requirement in timing his attacks, was finally unable to help but reveal a small opening, and once Happy used the mountain to assist him in turning, he dashed at Thirteenth with an astonishing speed after becoming one with his sword. An astonishing black flame rushed at Thirteenth's face.

  'This isn't good!'

  Thirteenth instantly understood that he missed his best opportunity in attacking.

  The attack speed in an axe could not compete with a sword technique at all. Hence, while inertia forced him to continue moving forward, Happy managed to force him into a desperate situation by using the mountain to help him in turning around.

  At that moment, if he continued moving forward, he will be pierced to death with one single sword thrust while Happy remained completely uninjured.

  Without another word, he forcefully leaned back to avoid the sword, performing a standard act of tensing his body and falling backwards, which allowed him to avoid having his head pierced through.

  Happy did not care about Thirteenth, whose body was as sturdy as a rock. He used the momentum to rush forward, and in an instant, the distance between widened by more than sixty-five feet. He rushed at Seventh and Third.

  Thirteenth had the toughest body, Happy would deal with him last.

  His first goals must be to get rid of Third—the flautist—and the injured Seventh.

  But the scene that happened between Happy and Thirteenth caused those from Blood Alliance to be incredibly gloomy.

  They could not understand how the unyielding Happy would be chased around by Thirteenth in the beginning and would not even dare to receive his attacks, but as he turned around, he performed a beautiful attack while moving as if he was one with his sword. It was as if he had practiced this multiple times. Then, he charged past Thirteenth to stay out of his way.

  "What the heck?"

  "I don't understand!"

  "Seventh, be careful, my xiao notes don't work on him."

  Third's expression changed drastically. Even though he held a thin and short jade xiao, he did not dare fight against Happy head on. Instead, he just stood in the distance to shout a warning at Seventh.

  Seventh looked bitter.

  When those two hidden forces clashed against each other in his body, it was as if a small-scale earthquake happened in him. Right now, his qi and blood were tumbling madly, and he could not immediately suppress it.

  Thirteenth ran around the area in a game of cat and mouse, but was left far behind right now. Seventh was now the one who had to fight against Happy alone, and it would be a lie to say that he did not feel any pressure.

  But at that moment, he could only force himself to hold his breath and instantly use his final moves to hold Happy back while waiting for Thirteenth to provide reinforcements.

  "Ground Breaker!"

  Before Happy got closer…

  Bang!

  He struck the ground with a heavy blow with his spear!

  Countless shattered stones flew everywhere, and it went at Happy like a sandstorm.

  This move might have been useful to others, but to Happy, it would clearly be too much of a stretch for it to work against him.

  At the moment he lifted his spear, Happy already knew his goal. Right when the hidden force exploded forth, he activated his Illusory Cave Steps.

  Holes were left behind on his afterimage, but Happy's real body had already circ.u.mnavigated the sandstorm, and now, he was sixteen feet away from Seventh.

  Crazed Demonic Spin!

  Seventh's pupils shrank.

  Right when he retreated, he swung his longspear like a mill in front of him.

  At that moment, the others from Blood Alliance were still unable to see what was wrong.

  Thirteenth had already arrived at an area fifty feet behind Happy. As long as Happy stopped for even half a second, he will be surrounded back and front.

  "Break!" Happy shouted loudly but calmly. The longsword in his hands brought with it an amazing glare that pierced into the center of the impenetrable, spinning spear.

  The impenetrable, spinning spear froze a little.

  As Seventh grunted in pain, the impenetrable, spinning spear instantly stopped moving and fell to the ground dejectedly with a hand still attached to it. Seventh's face was pale as he staggered backward, and he bled all the way as he retreated.

  "Seventh Elder!"

  "Seventh!"

 
"Big Bro' Seventh!"

  The Blood Alliance members were stunned.

  Before the perfect pincer attack formation could appear, Seventh had one hand severed by one slash from Happy, and he even lost his weapon.

  "I'll kill you!" Thirteenth was overwhelmed by fear and anger. He rushed over with loud rumbling noises, just like a real tank.

  "This is for you!"

  Happy flipped around in the air without stopping, and his longsword picked up Seventh's weapon accurately. Then, as if it was sentient, the longspear flew at Thirteenth with an aggressive momentum.

  His act of flipping around, snatching the spear, and throwing his spear was all done in one breath.

  Thirteenth's momentum came to a stop.

  When he charged forward, he swung his axe without hesitation in preparation to block Seventh's weapon.

  At the instant the axe and the longspear crashed, a powerful hidden force collided into the defenseless Thirteen's body.

  He grunted, and Thirteenth staggered. His axe almost slipped out of his grasp, and he was full of openings. Clearly, he suffered a huge setback.

  When they saw this, Blood Alliance cried out in surprise again!

  But Happy snorted coldly, and he rushed to Seventh, who now had one hand severed.

  "How dare you?!"

  A hint of ruthlessness, fear, and anger flashed in Thirteenth's eyes. He did not expect that his performance did not make Happy fall into his trap. He tightened his grip around his weapon. He immediately stopped staggering and charged at Happy.

  Chapter 962 - Blood Spills Across the Land

  Seventh was already in the process of fleeing while cradling his wounded arm.

  Once Happy cut off his hand with one slash, his abilities dropped by a large degree. The pain was unbearable, and without any suspense, he was pierced to death with one single sword thrust by Happy.

  "If you have the guts, fight me headon!" Thirteen shouted in anger.

  Right when he said those words, Happy turned his head around and chuckled. "As you wish."

  When he finished speaking, he flipped his sword around and put it into his Universe Bag. He turned around and faced Thirteenth with his hands.

  Not only did Happy's actions not cause Thirteenth to put on a delighted expression, his pupils dilated, and he s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath. His furious expression instantly turned into great solemnity.

  Restrain!

  This was restraint that only a handful of high-end players understood.

  Palm techniques were absolutely not to be used against spear techniques, because spear techniques were fierce and continuous, and they also had the advantage of long weapons. Before the fist user could get close, he or she would already be pummeled. Not using it was a form of restraint.

  Using a sword technique against a spear technique meant that neither could gain the upperhand over each other.

  But if someone managed to use an axe technique well, he or she could use the damage and parry effects from the axe to counter most sword techniques and saber techniques. When they faced spear techniques, they could fight on equal grounds. But when they faced palm techniques, which were martial arts that were highly adaptable to any situation, had great speed, and were close-range skills, forget about not being able to catch up in terms of speed, axe users would not even be able to block their attacks.

  If Happy had used a sword technique, even if it was at Moksha Realm, Thirteenth Elder would not be afraid of him. In fact, he was confident he could brutally kill Happy.

  But when he saw Happy use a Life and Death Realm fist technique and claw technique, Thirteenth Elder felt his hair instantly rise, and he became highly alert and focused while he waited for Happy's attack.

  However, there were advantages as well as disadvantages to Happy's changes in his attacks.

  Once he switched to his palms, he lost his ability to intimidate his other enemy.

  Third originally held a jade xiao in his hands. Once he saw that his music could not affect Happy, he did not dare face Happy head on, because he was very wary of Happy's sword technique.

  But now that Happy stopped using his sword, he became less wary, and he charged straight into the battlefield.

  "I'll help you, Thirteenth!"

  The Third Elder's act of joining the fight allowed the Thirteenth Elder to feel his pressure largely reduce.

  Even though the howling xiao notes would not create any effects on Happy, with someone holding Happy back, he would not be able to fight too freely against Thirteenth.

  "Haha! Do you think that I won't be able to do anything to you just because you're fighting me two against one?!"

  After exchanging more than ten moves with them, Happy laughed long and hard before he leisurely stretched out his arm to grab Third's jade xiao with Dragon Capture.

  A powerful suction force caused Third's body to freeze.

  "Get lost!"

  The Thirteenth Elder's axe came at Happy to take his life.

  Among the two elders, one was fast, and the other was slow, but they made a pretty decent team. They could cover each other mistakes' perfectly.

  But this time, the opponent they faced was different from what they usually went up against.

  Happy was a person who was used to suppress his urges to create chances for himself.

  When he sensed the axe-generated wind above him bring with it a power that could tear apart everything, Happy remained calm. His hidden force pulsed, and it easily dissolved the true qi the Third Elder was prepared to gather inside him. He pulled the Third Elder while Happy himself retreated, and the person who had to face the Thirteenth Elder's axe instantly turned into the Third Elder.

  "Oh no!"

  There was indeed no way a person at the same level could break Ten True Dragon Styles.

  When the Thirteenth Elder swung his axe down, he noticed that the situation was off.

  He widened his eyes in anger, cold sweat poured down his body, and he quickly switched his attack.

  "Haha!"

  The Thirteenth Elder's attack fell to the side, and this created the perfect chance for Happy to attack.

  While the Thirteenth Elder's energy in his last attack was completely gone and he could not muster new strength for his next attack just yet, Happy used a Petite Dragon and forced himself in between the two. He then stretched out his arms to the sides and executed Dragon Capture with both hands.

  If it were not for the fact that his qi had increased greatly over the past few days and the fact that Tendon Changing Classic's recovery abilities had already almost caught up to Nine Yang Divine Skill, Happy might not be able to use Ten True Dragon Styles so smoothly without other worries boggling him down. After using it repeatedly, his qi was largely depleted, and he fell straight back to Life and Death Realm.

  But now, his qi was replenished until it was nearly eight hundred again.

  He absolutely had no problem in executing Ten True Dragon Styles repeatedly.

  When he seized the duo, Happy used his hands and legs together. With one kick, he sent the Thirteenth Elder away, then used the sturdy and thick heavy armor to assist him in his jump to the Third Elder, and he collided into the Third Elder, sending him flying dozens of feet away.

  Hidden force pulsed from the tips of his feet and shoulders at the same time.

  Both grunted.

  One of them staggered two steps backwards, and the other withstood most of the damage, rendering his face pale. He flew more than thirty feet away.

  What caused the Third Elder and the group of Blood Alliance members to feel chills all over their bodies was that Happy was like stuck to the Third Elder like a maggot.

  As Happy performed various minimal actions, the Third Elder trembled irregularly. The weakening of his body fortification outside his body might not be obvious, as Happy's swift explosion of hidden forces rose, the Third Elder's organs suffered huge shocks, and blood quickly trickled out of the corners of his mouth.

  The man with the red jade fa
n outside the crowd held his fan handle tightly at some point of time. With a dark expression, he stared at Happy as he punched the Third Elder with the intent to kill. Quietly and as discreetly as possible, he made a gesture to the people behind him.

  The group of Blood Alliance members quickly moved.

  "Kill him!"

  "Save the Third Elder and the Thirteenth Elder!"

  A few seconds later, the man with the red jade fan swung his fan down viciously, and the hundreds of people blocking the front and back of the canyon charged out like water breaking out of a dam.

  Dozens of faint blue will-o'-the-wisps crashed violently into each other.

  But an unexpected scene appeared.

  Just when the Blood Alliance members in the canyon charged forward to surround Happy and kill him, a black figure suddenly shot toward them from above.

  Bang! Bang!

  The Third Elder's body was tossed at them like a weapon.

  The Third Elder crashed into the crowd from above. While he was airborne, he extinguished quite a number of torches, and he crashed violently into the crowd, causing Blood Alliance to descend into chaos.

  "Ack!"

  That was not all, Happy followed closely behind him and charged into the crowd as well. He swung his longsword before pulling it back, and he snuffed out quite a number of torches on the spot. The canyon was never wide to begin with, and while chaos was around, he swung his sword, instantly causing the place to be completely swathed in darkness.

  There was darkness all around.

  The Blood Alliance members were instantly at a loss.

  In the chaos, the sounds of weapons being drawn could be heard nonstop, but there was no one who truly dared attack. After all, everyone around them might be their own people.

  Naturally, Happy would not miss such a great chance. With his Great Demonic World Destruction Art—now at the ninth realm after he practiced hard with it—he started executing his attacks indiscriminately.

  Pained screams and furious shouts were heard nonstop.

  But Happy did not have a lot of chances to attack.
