Sword Among Us

Chapter 1032: Fighting in the Prison

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One Emperor!

Happy had been chasing after him for three years in this world. He was the strongest player in the Chinese server, and he never had the chance to fight against him. At the same time, he was the man whom Happy had always dreamt of defeating.

Even though Happy was fully confident that he could defeat One Emperor in the other world, he knew that he was only able to do so in an unfair situation.

Right now, even though the blank period lasting for one and a half years was not enough to make things fair between them and it could not cover up to the fact that Happy had information from two worlds, One Emperor had an advantage that allowed him to stand above Happy—being in Inaction Realm. This was something that could not be denied.

When he saw One Emperor coming out of the shadows and his familiar face was illuminated by the candle flame, Happy felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

“You’re here.” At the same time One Emperor came forward, he spoke calmly and broke the silence in the sect prison.

Even though the face of the person who appeared in the sect prison was incredibly unfamiliar, One Emperor had been able to instantly sense that Happy had been immediately able to calm down right after he detected his presence, and this was something that only the truly strong could possess.

A presence that he only sensed from Happy’s first person battle replays was coming from the person ahead of him right now.

“Happy!” One Emperor was able to immediately recognize Happy.

Happy nodded, extended his hand, and tore off the human skin mask on his face to reveal his original face. He stared at One Emperor with a calm expression. “Have you been here for a long time?”

One Emperor was a little surprised by the fact that Happy could remain so calm and natural when he saw him. Even though he had not been excited because he saw One Emperor, he was not inattentive to him either. He just spoke to One Emperor as if he was speaking to a friend. His tone was very relaxed and natural, as if both of them had known each other for a very long time.

“Wandering Know-it-all mentioned that you would come back at this time, so I dropped by.”

“I knew that before Evil Emperor came over, you will definitely come and find me.” Happy walked toward One Emperor at a relaxed pace, and while he walked, the narrow prison path quickly moved to the side to become a wide area.

When he noticed that the path in the prison was turning into a huge hall, One Emperor seemed to have noticed the meaning behind Happy’s action. Shock and dumbfoundedness appeared in his eyes once more, and with it, a hint of joy as well.

Indeed, it was joy.

One Emperor had come over this time to search for Happy because he had heard from Wandering Know-it-all that Happy was prepared to enter isolated training and increase his strength.

But One Emperor was skeptical. His strength had already increased by leaps and bounds within a short period of time, and all four of his martial arts had reached the peak. How was Happy going to improve further?

But now, when he faced Happy, One Emperor could detect a familiar pride and confidence from Happy’s gaze and tone. This was something that others could never have.

The feeling of admiration prideful and solitary elites shared between each other rose in One Emperor’s heart.

At the same time, One Emperor understood why Happy had changed the layout in the sect prison. After his initial shock, he smiled faintly, and with a flip of his hand, brought out his own weapon—a black longsword with no sheath.

At the moment the weapon landed on his palm, all the criminals in the sect prison sucked in sharp breaths and retreated.

One Emperor had always been like a sword out of its sheath, and right now, the awe-inspiring presence around him suddenly grew, and he was like a sharp blade that shone with a dazzling and fierce light.

This was something a swordsman could only do when his sword technique had reached an incredibly great degree. His sword will would have evolved to the point that it could injure a person.

The sword that charged out like a wave was directed at Happy like a blade.

One Emperor’s gaze did not move, and his eyes were as calm as water. This was the result of him understanding the twelfth style from Fatal Thirteen Swords. His sword will could now injure anyone he liked.

Happy focused his gaze.

He quietly flipped his palm and quickly brought out a heavy, black sword from his Universe Bag.

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword!

Thud!

The floor trembled.

As for Happy, there was no need for him to rely on the blade of the heavy sword. All he needed to do was to rely on his qi cultivation base.

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was casually placed before Happy like a huge foundation.

At the same time, Happy opened his eyes, and his gaze was clear. The sword will contained in his body swiftly reached a resonance with Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and his sleeves started moving even though there was no wind around.

Boom!

Under One Emperor’s surprised gaze, a mighty presence that only mountains had suddenly shot up from Happy and from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword to block One Emperor’s sword will, which was supposed to destroy everything.

The air between them shuddered slightly.

Whoosh!

Dust rose everywhere!

The candle flames on the walls around them swayed violently, and the light in the prison instantly became much darker.

One Emperor and Happy’s attention were not on their surroundings. They stared at each other with wary eyes. The clash between their sword wills just now had completely stirred up the passion in their hearts, and the fighting spirit in their eyes began burning madly.

‘He’s powerful!’

In just one moment, Happy knew that he finally had the chance to officially fight against One Emperor after waiting for more than five years, and he was incredibly excited.

And One Emperor was surprised and delighted that he found an opponent and comrade to whom he could fight with everything he had in the Chinese server!

“First slash!” While One Emperor spoke, a clear sword whine rang joyfully in the prison.

The sword whine was clear and continuous.

Happy did not move while he stood across One Emperor. He received this black lightning and did not move even once.

This was the first time his Fatal Thirteen Steps did not make an opponent move even an inch, but One Emperor was not surprised. He took one step forward and executed his second slash without stop.

“Second slash!”

A black sword shadow sliced at the air like a whip.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

At the moment the sword shadow was about to touch Happy, he moved two feet forward.

The third slash came even faster. This time, One Emperor did not announce his attack. He seemed to be thinking that if he announced his attack, he would be humiliating Happy. So, this attack came very suddenly. Several black rays of light instantly pierced through the afterimage Happy left behind on the spot.

Petite Dragon.

Happy had still not attacked.

His Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was still firmly lodged against the ground, and Happy never moved it once. In fact, his hands had never even left his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword for even half a second. The only part of Happy that moved were his feet, and he did everything in an incredibly relaxed manner.

One Emperor finally had a rather grave look appear on his face.

He had attacked thrice, but he still had not managed to force Happy to use his skills. This alone had already made Happy stronger than Phantasmal Shadow.

He no longer decided to use normal slashes to waste his time. One Emperor’s continuously increasing sword will suddenly exploded forth. He skipped the fourth move and went straight for the fifth slash.

Black lightning caused the light in the prison to instantly turn dark.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, One Emperor’s figure suddenly vanished from sight.

“Perfect timing!”

Happy once witnessed One Emperor’s fifth slash at the summit of Mount Tai. When he saw One Emperor vanishing, he instantly had a wary look appear on his face, and he grabbed his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword without hesitation.

The specialty in this slash was lightning speed.

He would become one with his sword, and the sword would move ahead of One Emperor himself.

This slash prioritized using speed to kill.

The astonishing attack speed could allow One Emperor to use this move alone to easily kill many of the top-class elites in the world right now.

Even Happy would not dare to fight for a long time against One Emperor, even if he was armed with Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, because he would reveal the flaw in his speed sooner or later.

Since he could fight against One Emperor head on, then he would just have to break One Emperor’s fifth slash!

Happy’s presence changed.

Shick!

He pulled his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword from the ground and ignored all the illusions in front of him. With a grave momentum that could tear apart everything, he swung his sword violently to the left.

He decided to attack first!

Almost at the moment Happy attacked, One Emperor appeared in the air to the left. At the same time, a fierce, black bolt of lightning that traveled forward with an indomitable spirit also showed up.

Neither said anything.

One Emperor’s pupils shrank, because he had quickly sensed the power contained in the slash from the wind pressure that swiftly came charging at his face. He switched from the fifth slash straight to the sixth slash without hesitation.

He executed a black sword force as easily as flipping his hand!

Those black bolts of lightning instantly increased by several fold. Then, they fused together to form a lightning bolt that had a breadth as wide as a water pail and crashed against the black aquatic dragon.

The black aquatic dragon went up against the black sword force.

Both shattered in the air.

Their bodies trembled at the same time.

They were both affected by the hidden forces in each other’s attacks, and they retreated at the same time.

One Emperor recovered very quickly. He somersaulted once before he charged forward with one hand around his sword. His sword glare danced, and a layer of fierce sword qis was instantly formed.

Seventh slash!

It was the attack that was practically the same as Ten Thousand Sword Styles, and it was a move that made him die together with Happy. Right now, One Emperor was able to use it as easily as breathing.

In the past, Happy had been killed by the damage formed by this layer of sword qis, but now, when One Emperor executed this at Inaction Realm, it became even more terrifying! More than one hundred sword qis fused together, and it was already as threatening as a full-powered strike from an elite at the beginning stage of Myth Realm.

“Break again!”

When One Emperor attacked, Happy had also instantly formed another black aquatic dragon. With a heavy howl, the momentum of the sword arrived in front of One Emperor.

The swiftly forming sword qi was completely swept off by the black aquatic dragon.

“Beautiful!”

While One Emperor was a little surprised as to why Happy was able to react so quickly after he exchanged a head on blow with him, Happy’s strength still made him excited and gratified.

If he could not easily break and receive his seventh slash, there was no way he could fight against Evil Emperor.

But One Emperor naturally did not know that it was because of Tendon Changing Classic’s ten percent damage reduction that he was able to quickly recover from the attack just now. After Tendon Changing Classic modified his body, he had also been able to get used to high damage even faster, recover quicker than others, and also attack swiftly.

In other words, Happy could recover and gather qi faster than others.

Even though Great Demonic World Destruction Art did not have high attack speed, Happy could still attack ahead of others. He could be considered to always be able to launch the preemptive strike.

One Emperor’s attack speed was very fast, and his reaction was just as fast, but Happy had those as well, and he also had something One Emperor did not have—high tenacity and high recovery speed.

Happy had unexpectedly canceled One Emperor’s seventh slash, but he also knew that if he did not know, he would be forced into an even more defensive position, and the pressure he had to face would become greater as well. Once he succeeded in canceling the attack, he decided to seize the initiative.

He used Wave-like Subtle Steps.

And when Happy attacked, he caused Happy to feel pressured.

When he experienced Happy’s fight through the battle replay, he already felt that Happy was pretty strong, but now, Happy mastered Tendon Changing Classic. His strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he had also gotten rid of Grieving Needle. Hence, he became even stronger.

One Emperor’s eyelid twitched. One Emperor was nearly swept away by the sword qi storm created by Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. Right when he retreated from it, a claw shot at him.

Dragon Capture!

‘No! Happy’s main goal is to get close to me!’

One Emperor resolutely struck his black longsword.

Whoosh!

His longsword left his hand, and it took a turn in a sentient manner to ambush Happy from behind.

It was only then that One Emperor’s expression finally changed. He did not expect that he would be cornered to a point by a single opponent that he would be forced to use his tenth slash, Fatal Sword Control, to get himself out of a predicament.
