Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  A heavy sound rose. The sword force Xie Lingyun sent at Wind Chimes instantly crumbled like a piece of tofu. Xie Lingyun coughed up blood, and he flew off the roof with his sword, ramming through countless tiles in the process.

  The situation on the ground was already very chaotic since the start.

  The Wind Assault Tower members did not have time to pay attention to the situation on the ground, because they had to face the pressure brought to them by the group of top-class elites. When they suddenly heard wind rise behind them, they quickly moved away from their spots.

  Bang!

  When they saw that Xie Lingyun flew down from the roof, the Wind Assault Tower members nearby all put on delighted expressions, and a large number of people instinctively attacked him.

  However, when their weapons touched him, the person on the ground did not react in the slightest.

  "He's dead!"

  "He's already dead!"

  Those who were observant quickly noticed that Xie Lingyun had actually died while he was falling from the roof.

  Even if they were in a very tense situation right now, there were still people who were unable to help themselves but turn over Xie Lingyun's corpse.

  In the end, when his corpse was turned over to lie on his back, many people saw him, and they could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

  "What's this saber technique?!"

  A terrifying and large gash could be seen from Xie Lingyun's shoulder to his stomach. That one slash was enough to reduce him into a bloody mess, as if he had been cut a few times intensely by someone… but the wound did not seem to be left behind by a saber…

  The tiles that filled the roof had already landed. Now, the roof looked as if it had been baptized by a tornado. Only a b.a.r.e and huge beam was left. There were seven people who occupied one side of the beam, and none of them fell.

  When Shi Huasheng, and his group looked down and saw the corpse in the crowd under the roof, their expressions changed.

  "Brother Lingyun!"

  Xie Lingyun had already died.

  They could not believe their eyes!

  The three of them had been working together for quite some time. Just now, the Lion's Roar had practically caused all the people on the roof to freeze for a moment while their qi and blood surged. It was impossible for them to react to his attack in time and accurately.

  The hidden force that came out from Luo Jing also overturned all the tiles on the roof, creating the best situation for Xie Lingyun to kill Wind Chimes.

  They had clearly seen Xie Lingyun attack without fail. His sword tip had already reached the area three feet from Wind Chimes. Hence, they did not expect that everything would change within an instant.

  Whoosh!

  They were only shocked and dazed for a moment before all five of the people in the Class One Hall party trained their eyes on the man and woman on the beam.

  The woman was naturally Wind Chimes.

  She stood at the center of the five people like a pillar, and she looked like someone with a great responsibility on her shoulders. She had one hand around her zither, and the other hand was fixed on the zither strings. She scrutinized these five people with a grave gaze.

  As for the man, while his face was incredibly unfamiliar and he wore the uniform of a normal guard, the heavy and black sword in his hand caused the five people on the roof to have their pupils shrink at the same time.

  "Happy!"

  Luo Jing's expression was unpleasant. He exposed the mysterious elite through gnashed teeth and an exasperated expression.

  Happy did not continue hiding his identity. He tore off his human skin mask right in front of these five people without hesitation.

  At the same time he showed his face, Happy cast a deep and profound glance at the roof of the building across the street. It was the building right opposite Wind Assault Tower's headquarters. Then, his gaze returned to Luo Jing's face. "I didn't expect that Class One Hall would have an elite who's pretty decent in hidden forces. Your kick technique is outstanding, and your mastery over hidden force is rather good. The only unfortunate thing is that you had too many enemies just now, and your power was far too scattered among the tiles, or else, it would have been difficult for me to seize such a good chance and kill that swordsman in just one strike."

  Luo Jing's expression turned dark, though he said nothing.

  Happy had disappeared without a trace since half a month ago. No matter how much the world laughed and mocked him, he never showed up, causing many people to have almost forgotten about this top-class elite who had been famous for a period of time.

  They had been certain that they could kill Wind Chimes in their attack, but since Wind Chimes had such a powerful bodyguard hidden beside her and used a human skin mask to deceive everyone, their assassination ended in failure.

  It was impossible that these five people did not know about Happy's fame. Even Wild Wolves had suffered a setback in Happy's hands, and Xie Lingyun had also died instantly right before their eyes. Hence, there was no way they would not be filled with fear. Their breathing became much heavier while they stared solemnly at Happy and Wind Chimes, who stood behind him.

  "Alright, Wind Chimes, help me control those two," Happy said to Wind Chimes and pointed his sword at Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng.

  In truth, there was no need for him to waste his breath in talking to them. He had actually spent some time to exchange these meaningless words with them because he had Wind Chimes by his side.

  He needed to give some time to the people below him to react and rebuild the defense line to protect Wind Chimes. At the same time, he needed to give himself time to recover the qi he used when he executed Full Winds in Long Skies. Also, if he wanted to use Full Winds in Long Skies to instantly kill a top-class elite just like what he did just now, he would need to buy thirty seconds for himself.

  "If it's just those two, sure." Wind Chimes was already incredibly anxious when she saw the endless stream of Class One Hall members getting closer to Wind Assault Tower's headquarters from the back. The top-class elites from the enemy had also suppressed Wind Assault Tower to the point that they were already close to the roof. When she heard Happy's orders, her petite fingers tugged and released the zither strings in a familiar motion.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Fierce sound blades tore through the air along with the zither sounds. They quickly rushed at Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng.

  "Retreat!"

  Luo Jing and Shi Huasheng did not have any thought about fighting against Happy.

  Once they saw that Xie Lingyun died, they knew that their tight teamwork had been broken, and the two had already made preparations to leave. Happy's strength had always been incredibly terrifying, and with Demonic Zither around to help him, her attacks, which could travel everywhere and Happy's offense could elevate them to a completely new level.

  Dream Clouds saw Happy appear while she was in the distance, watching the situation. Her expression turned a little dark, and at that moment, she gave those two an order and told them to temporarily retreat and protect themselves.

  Unfortunately, at the moment Wind Chimes' sound blades shot out, Happy had already activated Wave-like Subtle Steps to charge over.

  Happy's first target was Lion's Roar Shi Huasheng. When he attacked, he moved like lightning. Shi Huasheng was also blocked by the people in Wind Assault Tower, so Happy could easily catch up to him with his lightness skill.

  "Get lost!"

  Shi Huasheng turned his head around to shout.

  But Happy's figure vanished because of his Lion's Roar. Instead, he appeared in front of Shi Huasheng like a phantom and executed Dragon Capture with one hand.

  His sword rammed against Shi Huasheng, and he coughed up blood violently before he fell against the ground violently. He landed among a group of Wind Assault Tower members, who were already ready with their weapons, and in an instant, he was dismembered.

  Chapter 1042 - Cut Down a Tentacle


  Happy's appearance brought quite a lot of trouble to Class One Hall.

  Not only had he destroyed Dream Clouds' plan of also killing Wind Chimes to strike a blow at Wandering Know-it-all while she vanquished Wind Assault Tower, he also caused Xie Lingyun's death as well as indirectly caused Shi Huasheng's death.

  Two top-class elites died. The remaining four were like startled birds. They could care less about the Wind Assault Tower members who pounced on them from everywhere and gritted their teeth to withstand the feeling of weapons cutting into them. With their fastest speed, they charged out of the crowd in an attempt to unite with the main group under the roof.

  However, while they could use their experience and skill to avoid most of the attacks from the Wind Assault Tower members everywhere and could even ignore some of the attacks, Wind Chimes was already safe, and now, she focused all her attention on these four people, especially on Luo Jing, who was great in using hidden forces.

  Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

  Wind Chimes had just faced death in the face just now, and she would not be polite to Luo Jing in the slightest. Her zither sounds changed their direction, and thousands of sound blades gathered together to form a long dragon that tumbled about with its savage and fierce body. It howled and charged at them. Then, in a manner that would not allow Luo Jing to fight back or hide from it, it descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Luo Jing.

  At that moment, Wind Chimes finally revealed her strength as Demonic Zither!

  "AAAAHHH!!"

  Luo Jing's body was instantly cut down by countless sound blades. Under the chaotic and fierce blades, he could see what was happening around him at all. He could only sense the blades that seemed to cut into his bones cut through him repeatedly. Very soon, he lost control over his body, and he could sense that his body seemed to have been swept off the ground by an invisible force.

  Even though Luo Jing's equipment was incredibly exotraordinary, Wind Chimes had decided to fight against him at full force, and the endless sound blades enveloped him nonstop. He did not even have the chance to fight back. Very soon, dense gashes were left on his equipment, and the places that were not protected were already sliced to bloody ribbons.

  He screamed shrilly in pain, and when his flesh and blood gushed out nonstop in the storm of sound blades, Wind Chimes turned Luo Jing into a victim in a horror movie.

  He could not use his hidden force at all in this situation.

  When he saw that Luo Jing was completely controlled by Wind Chimes, Happy gave up on him and quietly jumped down the roof as if he had turned into smoke. The Wind Assault Tower members below him quickly moved away to open a path for him.

  Even though their morale was already incredibly low, Happy's sudden appearance and his unblockable Recondite Steel Heavy Sword gave him a large boost of confidence.

  Although they did not know how Happy appeared in Wind Assault Tower's headquarters without any prior sign and did not know what Happy had been doing over the past half a month, Happy's act of killing Xie Lingyun right when he appeared and completely destroying the fatal attack from the six top-class elites had allowed them to become much more confident than before. In fact, they thought that he was a backup arranged by their tower master in the place.

  Happy did not disappoint them either.

  Wave-like Subtle Steps!

  "Lure him away!"

  Class One Hall was still able to act decisively. When they saw that Happy was catching up to him at an astonishing speed, the other two people in the original party of six sent a private message to their companion, who was about to be caught up.

  The group broke off!

  But it was no wonder. Even Xie Lingyun and Shi Huasheng, two great players, were suppressed by just one move from Happy. Happy had already reached an unfathomable degree in their hearts a long time ago, and they could not bring themselves to even think about counterattacking. They only hoped that their companion could get them a chance for them to get out of the situation safely.

  Their companion gritted his teeth and had his sword change direction. He went to the left, where a group of Wind Assault Tower members were, and tried to split up with his companions.

  However, before he could travel ten feet away, a powerful suction force dragged him back.

  Happy easily moved to another side before he used Dragon Capture to grab and stun his opponent. Then, Recondite Steel Heavy Sword rammed against the person's body mercilessly with the force of a mountain. In the swing was a powerful hidden force as well.

  The person's back was split open.

  The Wind Assault Tower members around Happy might not be able to compare to top-class elites, but their abilities in pummeling a person was outstanding.

  They had been surrounding the area and waiting for a long time. When they saw the Class One Hall elite being sent over with just one sword stroke, eight people immediately came forward with their swords brandished.

  Thud! Thud! Thud!

  They did not stop the person from flying toward them. These Wind Assault Tower members took the initiative to move to the side before their weapons left behind bloody gashes on the Class One Hall member's back. Once he passed them, they continued leaving cuts on his body.

  When the Class One Hall member fell on the ground, his body fortification had long since shattered. He was like a blood soaked rag when he took his last breath.

  After that one seize and slash, Happy no longer paid attention to this unfortunate soul. He turned around and charged out of the crowd to chase behind the other two people from Class One Hall, leaving behind a bloody path in his wake.

  The hidden force contained in Dragon Capture might not be very powerful, but the slash in Great Demonic World Destruction Art could destroy one-third of a person's body fortification and even leave behind quite severe internal injuries. The hidden force Happy had fused into the slash could also make a person's qi and blood surge for more than two seconds. When he landed in the hands of those Wind Assault Tower elites, there was no way he would not die!

  "Damn it!"

  When they noticed that their companion had died so quickly and Happy had caught up to them like a maggot attached to a bone, the other two were so terrified that they trembled.

  Fortunately, their main group was close by.

  A few Class One Hall elites took the initiative to push aside the defense line formed by Wu Kuo and the others. Their fierce attacks intersected with each other and went toward Happy while they said, "You're too useless! How could you be sent running all over the place because of Happy alone?!"

  "Don't!"

  The two people who managed to escape to safety finally felt safe, but when they saw a few of their friends actually nonchalantly going up against Happy, their expressions instantly changed, and they quickly shouted a warning, "Don't fight head-on against him!"

  Xie Lingyun had been killed with just one slash, and Shi Huasheng was destroyed after he was grabbed and cut. With just the few of them attacking Happy, they were basically recklessly throwing their lives away and would just be treated as appetizers for Happy.

  But warning them right now was already too late.

  Happy never intended to stop.

  When he saw the sword forces and saber glares from the five top-class elites intersecting with each other to become a net and a chilling presence crashed into his face, Happy came to a swift halt. He lifted his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword high into the air before he cut down on the empty area in front of these five people.

  The sturdy flagstone tiles were crushed like tofu before Happy's Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, even though he used no skill when he swung his sword down.

  A loud bang shot up.

  The ground trembled. Countless stones turned into sharp hidden weapons, and they filled up the entire area, causing the group's offense to be thrown into disarray.

  The five people's expressions changed.

  Before they could react appropriately to the situation, the hidden for
ce contained in the tiles struck them, and these five people were thrown off their feet.

  Happy had the remaining force in the tiles propel him forward, and he used the chaos to charge into the crowd. Recondite Steel Heavy Sword howled when it was swung, and a few Class One Hall members who tried to provide reinforcements to their people from the back felt as if they crashed into a wall. The power that rebounded into them from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword sent them tumbling on the ground.

  "Attack!"

  Wind Assault Tower had originally been in a precarious situation. They did not expect that once Happy appeared, he would help them kill four top-class elites and even help them gain a chance to catch their breath after he tore apart the 1-3-4-2 formation set up by the group of top-class elites.

  The Wind Assault Tower elites immediately had their eyes light up.

  They did not remain idle. This group immediately started working hard once Happy gained the chance for them. They worked together with the archers behind them and with Wind Chimes' zither sounds to launch the most vicious counterattack in the worst possible situation. The advance from the two hundred top-class elites came to a stop, and their inverted T formation was destroyed to the point that it had turned into a concave shape.

  In an instant, Happy unceremoniously injured several people. With his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword in hand, he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps and entered the depths of the enemy group.

  Dragon Capture!

  He easily seized one person before he quickly moved behind him to avoid multiple fierce sword glares while he also swung his sword sideways to push down a large group of people.

  Bang!

  The unfortunate soul who was controlled took two staggering steps backward, and a black, howling sword glare swept past him. He crashed into the crowd like a fried braid dough.

  The elites who rushed into the front of Wind Assault Tower's headquarters were basically all aces from Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the twelve Beijing sects. All of them were prideful and incredibly confident people.
