Sword Among Us

Chapter 356: Destroy Stone King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Beautiful.”

Once Happy learned of what happened in Wengcheng, he could not help but sigh with a well of emotion in his heart.

Phoenix Dances had finally managed to move out of his shadow and started to display her talents and glory. She also began to show her qualifications and status as the master of a faction.

Once he got over his bounty period, he had planned to immediately leave Baokang and head to the nearest Class One Hall branch to make Class One Hall pay a price and reap some benefits for Beautiful Robes Faction, but Phoenix Dances had managed to do it herself.

Her slapping them in the face was much better than if Happy had done it!

Class One Hall had been directly defeated by Beautiful Robes Faction, and their branch, which had been built for less than two days, was destroyed. Such an event would be an unprecedented blow to Class One Hall’s reputation.

Even though it was just a small branch, it was still defeated and destroyed by a nameless faction with no people on the Dragon Rank or Phoenix Rank. Not even the sect’s foundation was left standing.

No matter how Happy looked at it, Class One Hall had suffered a great loss.

At that point, there was no longer any need for Happy to take the initiative to go up and search for them.

Besides, with Silver Wolf protecting Beautiful Robes Faction, he believed that Class One Hall would not dare to attack Beautiful Robes Faction, unless they decided to give up on resource points in a few cities. But since they were still fighting at full force against Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace for the position of the top dog in the game, there was no reason for Class One Hall to do so, and they also did not dare to fight against Happy at full strength.

The ambush had failed.

Class One Hall then placed more of their resources into defending their resource points instead of losing even more branches for one Beautiful Robes Faction.

Coincidentally, Happy did not have the time to turn against Class One Hall either

Aside from returning to Murong Clan to report that he had completed the task, he also had to retrieve his completely repaired Golden Armor so that he could enter the royal mausoleum and complete his trade with Kind Tycoon.

There was also the matter of Mu Clan’s development reaching a critical stage.

All sorts of occupations continued to increase in their clan by leaps and bounds!

The medicinal herbs, crystals, and metals in the storage had already reached a rather astonishing number, and the clan’s member count had officially reached more than one thousand.

That night, Thunderous Battle, Little North, and One Circle brought a few Mystical Realm players and a few miners to the second level only to see Happy fighting furiously against Stone King.

The group was dumbfounded.

Happy had someone lure away Stone King before he routinely gave a few orders to the group. “You have to keep this a secret.”

Thunderous Battle knew all too well what why Happy was fighting alone against a Moksha Realm Boss, so he asked excitedly, “Does this mean that we can enter the royal mausoleum again?”

“Beautiful Robes Faction’s fame isn’t enough. Thunderous Battle, Little North, you have to personally guard Baokang!” Happy said. “I can handle the royal mausoleum on my own.”

“You’re right.” Thunderous Battle nodded. “We really can’t go away for now, but over the past few days, the development of the sect has been pretty good. The resources in Shennongjia are much richer than I expected.

“Little North and I each led a team, and we obtained quite a lot of stuff. I used some of our resources to buy the rewards One Circle and his group had gained over this period of time to temporarily fill up our clan storage.

“We have more than two hundred masterpieces. Along with the consumables produced by the herbalists, ironsmiths, and tailors, we are almost at the point where we can be certain that we can keep the contribution system going.”

Happy nodded repeatedly.

Using their resources to exchange with Beautiful Robes Faction for weapons, amor, and martial art manuals was not just a useful and beneficial move that maintained the operations of the clan storage, it also made sure that their resources did not flow to outsiders. Thunderous Battle did a very good thing.

“Boss, did you call us here to handle this big guy?”

Little North did not pay a lot of attention to the management of the clan, but he was incredibly sensitive to matters such as going on adventures. The moment there was a pause in Thunderous Battle and Happy’s conversation, he butted in in an incredibly excited manner.

The spirits of Thunderous Battle, One Circle, and the others rose up at his words. Their expressions filled with excitement.

“I practiced four low-tier martial arts over the past few days, and I’m bored of it. The bounty over my head is about to be removed too. I want to seize the moment to kill Stone King before I leave this place and head to the royal mausoleum.”

Thunderous Battle nodded quietly.

Even if Happy traveled using a Hoof Shadow, he would need more than a day to reach the royal mausoleum. He had already been held back in the crystal mine for a long time. It would be better if he used the time while the Embroidered Uniform Guards still hunted him to travel so that he would not need to waste even more time later when he was no longer being hunted.

However...

“Stone King is at Moksha Realm. He can’t be easy to deal with, right?”

Even though Thunderous Battle had been practicing the Mystical Realm Thunderous Sword Technique, he was still a little nervous at the prospect of going up against a Moksha Realm boss.

Of course, Happy already had a plan worked out in his head. He would not have recklessly asked other people to come and serve as cannon fodder.

His expression became stern, and he looked at One Circle, who was equipped with a high-grade armor and looked like he was ready for battle. “One Circle, when I’m unable to hold on, I’ll let you go up and take my place for a while. Five Tiger Rotating Hammer Technique has higher damage than Seven Stars Sword Style. Your main task is to control Stone King’s movements and not let it have the chance to rest and recover.”

Happy had divided his level-grinding into different sessions. Whenever his body fortification was about to crumble, he would retreat. Because of it, Stone King would be able to absorb the aura in the crystal mine, which allowed it to slowly heal the wounds it had sustained. Whenever its HP was depleted, it would recover it while Happy rested, and because of it, Stone King’s condition remained unchanged.

There was not even a need to mention Happy’s damage while he practiced low-tier martial arts. That bit of damage could not even break through Stone King’s defenses. Hence, Happy could truly be said to have only been practicing his martial arts.

Under his companion’s admiring gazes, One Circle tightened his grip on his purplish red great axe.

“Got it.”

“I’ll attack head-on. You can divide yourselves into two groups to attack him from behind. Make sure that you don’t get too close to him,” Happy said, giving final instructions.

“Got it!” The group voiced their obedience.

Once they finished speaking, nearly one hundred people from the five great sects in the mine slowed down in their mining. They turned their heads around and held their breaths as they watched a group of people head toward Stone King.

*****

“ROAR!”

Stone King’s roar filled the crystal mine, and it mixed with all sorts of muffled sounds of weapons cutting at the air, along with the sounds of swords, sabers, and axes crashing against stone. Those noises rang through the mine.

Using fancy moves with the intention to break through absolute defense was a mere dream. Aside from withstanding the attacks from Stone King with everything they had and using all their strength to break off some stones from Stone King’s body, there was no way to killing it.

Throughout his training, Happy had become used to Stone King’s powerful and vicious attacks, which were as strong as a whirlwind. His Golden Bell Cocoon had reached great completion, and it was enough for him to tank its attacks for more than five minutes. If he used Dew Pills, he could last for another three minutes or so. He stood in front of Stone King in his silver armor and did not move back.

What he did not know was that before the people’s eyes, while Stone King was strong, Happy’s defenses had already reached a stage where it was plain insane!

When Happy’s body fortification was about to crumble, One Circle went up to take his place. Ever since he came out of the royal mausoleum, he changed his equipment, and he had improved even further. Even though he could not compare to Happy, he was not that far off. Besides, the defense of his purplish red great axe was greater than of many other weapons, and he could take on Stone King and make sure that its HP was being whittled away.

Boom!

More than half an hour passed before Stone King was finally cut so much that there were multiple holes on its body, making it look like rotten mud. Then, it exploded with a bang.

A black object and a brilliant, deep blue crystal appeared in the air. They fell to the ground in an incredibly eye-catching manner!
