Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  However, after Heaven Crystal Sword was nourished by Heavenly Lake, it had its ruthless side temporarily suppressed, and Happy obtained the chance to use it for a short moment.

  However, Happy's strength had long since surpassed countless players on this side. In fact, even Evil King, who was at the peak of Myth Realm, could not suppress him. Hence, on the day of the wedding, Happy gave the nourished Heaven Crystal Sword to the person he trusted the most—Young Yu Yan, who was also the current clan lady of Mu Clan.

  *****

  During that critical moment, Young Yu Yan finally remembered Heaven Crystal Sword.

  This sword had always been treated as a trump card that she would only use during the most dangerous moments in a fight. When Shi Feixuan was about to be killed by Evil King, she finally used the card.

  Heaven Crystal Sword shone in the world.

  The great sword wills formed a light pillar that stirred the winds, clouds, and the spiritual energy in the world.

  Evil King's movements were frozen, and he was flung fiercely away.

  In the span of a breath, Evil King's body was enveloped by a powerful, mighty pressure. Then, his body looked as if it was pierced through by countless fierce sword qis.

  Even though the flames around him had negated most of the damage, the piercing sword will still managed to pierce through Evil King without facing any obstructions.

  This was a pure attack to the mind.

  The evil in Evil King's eyes was instantly crushed.

  Thud!

  At the same time his body fell limp, he coughed up a mouthful of blood violently on the ground, and multiple thin and long wounds were left on his body.

  His clothes were in tatters.

  Evil King looked incredibly pathetic right now.

  He could not believe it!

  The young woman he had been underestimating up to this moment actually had Heaven Crystal Sword, an item that defied the heavens!

  He reached out and flung his dishevelled hair behind his shoulder before he heaved a sigh in dejection. "The divine sword, Heaven Crystal Sword, has been destroyed since many years ago. I didn't think that I would be lucky enough to see it shine once more. Oh well…"

  Once he finished speaking, he turned his head around and cast a glance at Happy, who had already landed beside Young Yu Yan and Shi Feixuan. Then, with reluctance, he was forced to turn around and leave.

  Even though he could tell that the mysterious girl's strength was still not great enough for her to control Heaven Crystal, he was already internally injured because he forcefully used the evil within him to activate the incomplete Dao Heart Demonic Seed. When Heaven Crystal Sword cut him, he was injured even further, and he was in great danger. There was no way he would be Happy's opponent.

  If he did not leave now, he had to face the danger of being killed!

  Whoosh!

  Evil King was determined to leave, so he turned around and fled.

  Even though he staggered a little when he moved, he was incredibly fast. With just a few jumps, he vanished into the distance.

  When Evil King left, Happy grabbed Young Yu Yan, who was swaying on her feet, and he felt his heart ache for her. "Are you okay?"

  She shook her head, and she could not help but m.o.a.n. Heaven Crystal Sword fell on the ground.

  Happy quickly grabbed Heaven Crystal Sword in his hands.

  A ruthless sword will quickly came cutting at him from the part where his palm touched the sword. The great pain cut deep into his bones from the skin, as if both parts were attacked at the same time.

  Just as Happy expected, after that one attack, Heaven Crystal Sword regained its former brutality, and it was continuously invading and damaging Young Yu Yan's body.

  He did not remain idle. Happy quickly brought out a jade casket from his Universe Bag to suppress Heaven Crystal. Then, he put it back into his Universe Bag.

  After she took a medicinal pill, Young Yu Yan's facial color finally regained a red tint, and her face became pleasant to the eye once more.

  Once Evil King left, the mighty pressure that enveloped Shi Feixuan vanished at the same time. She struggled to get up from the ground so that she could sit down cross-legged. A light, snow-white veil covered her face at some unknown point of time.

  "Thank you for saving me, Sir Happy."

  "Miss Shi, you thanked the wrong person. It's this lady who saved you. I didn't do anything." Happy knew that the NPCs in the game would not care whether the players were wife and husband. He quickly withdrew himself from the situation, because he did not want to take his wife's quest rewards.

  "I will definitely not forget Miss Yu Yan saving me. I will thank her on another day."

  "Miss Shi, you praise me too much."

  Young Yu Yan might be injured, but she had no problem in speaking. She nodded. Then, she received a system notification telling her that she finished the quest.

  At this moment, Shi Feixuan brought out that white stone plate in her bosom under Happy and Young Yu Yan's gaze.

  "This is an ultimate technique left behind by Dafo Temple's divine monk. There are four of them, and each one should have a part of the divine monk's legacy."

  Happy and Young Yu Yan said nothing.

  "This time, if it were not for Miss Shi protecting me with her life, I cannot guarantee that I would have protected the divine monk's legacy, and Evil King will definitely snatch it away."

  Shi Feixuan seemed to have her heart touched once she escaped from death this time. With a calm expression, she handed Young Yu Yan the stone plate. "Right now, I am injured. It's not convenient for me to bring it back to Kind Boathouse. Besides, I have nothing valuable with me to protect it. If you don't mind, please help me protect it. If you can understand the divine monk's legacy from it, you can also consider yourself to be fated with Buddha."

  Young Yu Yan's expression was filled with shock and surprise. "That won't do. This is something you have been protecting all this while, Miss Feixuan."

  "I will definitely be chased down by the evil cult because of my injuries, and it's not convenient for me to bring them around. Instead of having them be snatched away by the evil cult, it would be better if I handed them to you, Miss Yu Yan. Besides, I've suddenly gained some epiphanies after I escaped death this time. I don't intend to immediately return to Kind Boathouse, and I want to search for a quiet place to see whether I can understand the next realm for Clear Sword."

  'I knew it!'

  Even though Happy managed to remain calm on the surface, his emotions had started surging in his heart. In the end, Shi Feixuan had indeed handed over the stone plate as a reward to Yu Yan.

  Because of it, Happy and Young Yu Yan each had a stone plate left behind by the divine monk.

  "This is great!" Happy quietly and discreetly congratulated Young Yu Yan through a private message.

  Young Yu Yan also calmed down at that moment and received the stone plate.

  Ever since Happy told her about the power in Full Winds in Long Skies, she had been very curious. Right now, when she held the tablet in her hands, it was only natural that she was loath to part with it.

  "Now, you have two more ultimate techniques. Even if you're going to spend less time here, no one can surpass you within three years."

  When he heard Young Yu Yan's words, Happy was stunned before he smiled. "No. The person who will learn it is not me, but you."

  "I don't want it."

  "I saw the contents in the stone plate. The system didn't change any settings. I still got Full Winds in Long Skies for the first stone plate. With this move, forget three years, I won't have any problems running wild in the game for the next five years. As for you, you need to continue holding Heaven Crystal Sword to help me protect Mu Clan. You're going to be the one understanding this ultimate technique. I will tell you how to do it. Next time, I need someone who can stand as equals with me from Mu Clan in the Chinese server. If that person is you, I will be at ease."

  Happy continued
speaking sincerely. "By the looks of it now, the effects are pretty good. Your feat of severely injuring Evil King with just one slash will soon spread out. At that time, I want you gradually move away from the status of Mu Clan's clan lady to the best swordswoman in the Chinese server."

  When she heard Happy's words, Young Yu Yan was stunned for a long time, but she did not reject this. She just nodded. "I promise you! But I also want you to promise me something."

  "Go on." Happy smiled.

  "Don't give up on this place so easily…" Young Yu Yan said seriously.

  Happy could not help but laugh. "Silly girl. Are you trying to make arrangements for my funeral or something? I only wish that I can be together with you and that our people in Mu Clan can always secure our place as the strongest, and that our position won't be shaken. Alright, I promise you."

  When he said his last sentence, Young Yu Yan released a small breath.

  The scene of the two hugging out of the blue was incredibly warm and touching.

  The elites from Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance rushed over from everywhere but stopped in the distance to watch. They just smiled and did not say anything, because they could not find it within themselves to interrupt this couple who were immersed in their tender emotions.

  However, quite a number of people talked about the scene they saw just now in their own groups.

  It was the powerful sword pillar that no one could hope to block and which had appeared in the form of a light pillar.

  Even Evil King had been severely injured by it with just one slash and had to immediately flee from it. This already brought about great shock to the people.

  They would not be so shocked if Happy had been the one who forced Evil King away. After all, Happy had already secured the position of the strongest player in the world a few months ago. He had been practicing hard for a few months and never egressed from prison, which caused many people to guess whether Happy had been practicing an even more powerful martial art.

  But the person who forced Evil King back was Young Yu Yan, who had remained nameless before the wedding. Right now, she was the clan lady of Mu Clan, a woman who had appeared out of nowhere and instantly became the focus of the entire world. She was rumored to be Happy's real life girlfriend, and she was a normal female student in the University of South China.

  The entire Chinese server's thoughts toward the clan lady was very normal—she was just Happy's girlfriend.

  But now, from this moment on, they believed that the people in the entire world would know that the clan lady of Mu Clan, Young Yu Yan had severely wounded Evil King Shi Zhixuan with just one slash and forced away a peerless martial artist who was at the peak of Myth Realm!

  Chapter 1090 - Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves

  Evil King fled because he was heavily injured.

  Shi Feixuan left.

  Young Yu Yan became famous after the battle. She and Happy thanked the members who rushed over, and under multiple people's gazes, they left.

  Without any problems whatsoever, Happy easily understood the ultimate technique known as Full Winds in Long Skies.

  Young Yu Yan's situation was slightly more complicated. She spent some time before she could enter a completely calm state, but the power of the ultimate technique she understood was still not to be underestimated. It was known as Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves.

  The phrase "great and merciful" carried the meaning of helping someone change, and Dried Leaves was a powerful ultimate technique the ancient divine monk understood. The user must have the thought of dying for the sake of a cause to help the world change, and with one palm strike, the air would move, and all leaves would dry up. In an instant, it could turn the enemy's attack into fuel for Dried Leaves, and while the user attacked, all the qi and hidden force that was aimed at the user would be s.u.c.k.e.d out to fill up the palm-generated wind to turn into the fiercest attack.

  When Young Yu Yan understood the amazing aspect of the attack, she became incredibly excited. "It's amazing! With this attack, I'll be stronger the stronger my enemies are. Even if I run into Evil King, I'm confident that I can fight against him now."

  "Dream on. The cooldown time for Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves is the same as Full Winds in Long Skies. You need half a minute before you can use it again, and you will also be drawing out two hundred qi points each time you use it. With your current condition, at most, you can only exchange one to two moves with Evil King, and you won't be able to do anything against him anymore." Happy decided to be a wet blanket after he was rendered completely speechless by her words.

  "You'll be in a better situation if you use Heaven Crystal Sword against him. You should more or less be able to break Evil King's defense and create certain damage on him. If your timing is right, perhaps you can have the chance to execute the second Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves."

  "It's already pretty good. Right now, aside from you, who else in the world can fight alone against a martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm and injure them badly?" Young Yu Yan giggled. Then, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly suggested. "Why don't we spar a little?"

  "For what?" Happy was stunned.

  Young Yu Yan cunningly waved her fair hands. "I won't use any weapons, and we'll just exchange one blow. You can use Full Winds in Long Skies."

  After she finished speaking, Happy instantly felt himself rendered completely speechless.

  Full Winds in Long Skies might be as profound, but it placed an emphasis on instant, explosive damage.

  Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves was a completely different story. It was a slow, substantial, and profound ultimate technique. If Young Yu Yan delivered her palm strike, aside from hidden weapons being able to pose as a certain threat to her, the other attacks would all be transformed to her own attack, and it could be considered a stronger version of Shifting Stars.

  If he truly used Full Winds in Long Skies to fight against her, when he delivered the attack at her while it was at the first realm, once she returned the attack to him, it would be the same as her delivering a second realm Full Winds in Long Skies at him. Even though it was not enough to severely wound him or instantly kill him, he would inevitably be reduced to a very pathetic state.

  'This girl…'

  When she saw Happy's resentful look, Young Yu Yan giggled in a satisfied manner. "See? My Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves is better."

  Happy said, "That's not necessarily true. If I attack first, your Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves might be useful against me, but if you attack first, that move is not threatening to me at all."

  Young Yu Yan was rendered speechless. She stopped giggling, and she thought about this in silence. "Yeah, I can't use this beforehand, and I can't use it against you either. You know the characteristics and cooldown time for Thousand Great and Merciful Dried Leaves. If I use the attack, you can dodge or just use Shifting Stars, and I can't do anything to you."

  Once she finished speaking, most of the smugness on her face vanished.

  When he saw this, Happy finally smiled. "You understand now, right? When elites fight, they don't compete using the levels of their martial arts, but they also have to be patient and have good judgment toward timing. Also, don't use your trump card so readily. If you exposed it too many times, your trump card can also be fully countered."

  "I understand." Young Yu Yan nodded to show that she accepted what he said with a humble heart. "It's a pity that we didn't manage to get Evil King's two stone plates. If we can learn the other two ultimate techniques as well, we can become even stronger."

  "Stop daydreaming." When Happy heard this, he just shook his head and laughed wanly. "Did you actually think that a martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm is so easy to deal with. If we truly fight against him, both of us might actually not be able to kill him! Besides, no one ever knows where Empress Yin currently is. If she appears, we may not come out of the figh
t alive."

  But even though he said that, Happy knew that with Evil King's injuries at that time, he actually had a certain degree of chance in winning.

  However, at that time, he was worried about Young Yu Yan, and he thought of something amazing when Shi Feixuan handed over the stone plate. Since the stone plate in Shi Feixuan's hands could be handed over as a quest reward to the players, there was also a possibility that Evil King will also hand over his stone plate. At the very least, he will hand over one of them to a player.

  Once he thought of this, Happy could not help but have his thoughts wander. He remembered the world three years later. Perhaps someone had already activated Evil King's quest, or it was currently in a state where it was ready to be activated.

  When his thoughts arrived at this point, Happy told Young Yu Yan of his idea.

  Her eyes lit up. "That's right! We can have Wandering Know-it-all help us determine Evil King's specific location. Then, we'll search for some evil cult disciples from the University of South China or from among the higher ups in Mu Clan to figure out Evil King's quest. Then, based on the quests over here, we can help you get your second stone plate from the world three years later."

  "That's what I've been meaning to do." He stopped talking for a while before Happy added. "But the quests for the two worlds are definitely not the same. I'll let you handle the quest over here. I just need to know where Evil King went. Then, once I find Evil King, I'll see whether I can defeat and get his stone plate."

  If anyone else heard this, they will definitely roll their eyes.

  But before the Happy three years later had his Marrow Cleansing Classic enter the first realm, he could already fight to a standstill with Evil King. At that time, he did not have Full Winds in Long Skies. Now, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds, and his qi points had also reached Inaction Realm. He actually had quite the high possibility of winning against him.
