Sword Among Us

Chapter 420: Provocation from Zhou Yu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ceng A’niu used his own strength to defeat the elites of the six great sects! From now on, if anyone has the ability to turn the tides and kill Ceng A’niu, the teachers of the six sects will certainly recognize your worth, and your name will ring through the world of martial artists!

“Quest: kill the heavily injured Ceng A’niu. If you deliver serious damage to him, you will gain 500 points. If you render Ceng A’niu unconscious, you will gain 2,000 points. The quest is effective for three minutes.”

The loud system notification instantly spread to all the players among the six great system-allocated sects. Everyone looked at each other at a loss.

Kill Zhang Wuji?!

After a brief period of silence, the area instantly descended into a frenzy.

Since the system had taken the initiative to give the notification to kill Zhang Wuji, there was definitely hope in killing him. Forget about his Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Heaven and Earth Great Shift, even if they could just injure him a little, it would be good. It was worth 500 points! When they went up to the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects for their reward, they would definitely be able to get something good in exchange.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Countless players who arrived later shot out from the camp of the six great system-allocated sects like madmen.

“Attack him together!”

Someone shouted that sentence in the crowd, and hundreds of players simultaneously activated their qi realms and body fortifications. Their qi surged, and sand as well as rocks flew in the area.

However, the points could not be accumulated so easily.

The members of Ming Cult heard the orders from the seven elites of Ming Cult at that moment as well.

“All Ming Cult members, hear my orders! Ceng A’niu has done a favor for Ming Cult! We must not let this group of despicable scum injure him!”

“That’s right!”

“Save Ceng A’niu! He bled and fought for Ming Cult, and we can’t just stand by and watch him be surrounded by the people from the six sects!”

“Ming Cult will surely reward you greatly if you manage to save Zhang Wuji!”

When the seven elites, including Yang Xiao, gave the orders, the players who joined Ming Cult also received notifications from the system.

“Ceng A’niu is a kind and moral man! He is the great benefactor of Ming Cult! Make sure that Ceng A’niu will not be injured again, and if you succeed, everyone will receive 1,000 points.

“Those who successfully save Ceng A’niu will receive an additional 500 points.”

More than one hundred players instantly rushed out from among the Ming Cult members. They moved like lightning and shot into the battlefield to land a preemptive strike.

At that moment, Zhou Yu and Phantasmal Shadow—the powerful players on the Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank—as well as two other great players fought against the players from the six great system-allocated sects.

Boom!

A longspear was slammed viciously into the ground, and an astonishing force instantly burst out from Zhou Yu’s body. It traveled up the spear and stirred up countless shattered rocks on the ground, which then shot outwards in all directions. They were very sharp, and their momentum was fierce.

The stones hit the players around him, and it looked as if they had been struck by hidden weapons at Mystical Realm. They shuddered and staggered as if they were pushed back by a huge force.

The expressions of players around Zhou Yu changed.

What a terrifying attack!

It was a spear technique in Life and Death Realm!

Quite a number of people were intimidated by Zhou Yu’s momentum, and they remained in place, refusing to move forward.

Whoosh!

Once Zhou Yu forced back the narcissistic and flashy Five Sword Lake Immortals as well as the players closest to him, he did not chase after them. He turned his spear, stopped attacking, and stood still. He stood like an immovable fortress in front of Zhang Wuji while looking around the area in front of him. “Who else wants to fight against me?”

His voice was loud and sonorous, and it rang through the valley.

Phantasmal Shadow blocked the noble Dream Clouds in the area to Zhang Wuji’s left, and she did so like an ethereal immoral. To Zhang Wuji’s right was a man with a long flute, along with a man who held a black chain in a strange posture.

Happy and Momo did not take any action and just stood beside Mistress Annihilation and Zhou Zhiruo among the six great system-allocated sects. They did not show any intention to join the mess.

Ancient Wind originally wanted to join the battle, but when he saw that Happy did not attack, he stood at the back and chose to observe the situation as if he had come to realize something.

Ancient Wind suddenly gasped in surprise. “I didn’t expect Jiangnan’s Quicksword Xiao Shan would appear once more, and he’s together with Zhou Yu.”

“Xiao Shan chose the right path. He acknowledged Jing Wuming as his master, and he focused on the path of the sword. He uses speed to win, and he has quite the vision,” Happy said faintly before his gaze landed on the man with the long flute. He frowned slightly. “The weapon is a long flute...”

Happy shook his head. He did not remember a powerful player who used long flutes had ever appeared in his previous life.

As he interfered with the progress of the game, not only had many changes happened to World of Martial Arts, the people in the game had also progressed in a way that exceeded his knowledge and understanding.

Happy sucked in a deep breath, suddenly feeling tired. “Momo.”

“Are you okay?” Momo could tell that Happy’s tone was slightly strange, and she looked at him with concern.

Happy shook his head and said with a serious face, “If my guess is correct, the area of effect of your Throw Spirit Sphere is not inferior to that of a normal bow technique.”

“That’s right. I can deliver damage to anyone within a 230 feet radius. If they are any further, I won’t be able to guarantee that I can hurt them.” Once she answered, Momo cast another glance at Happy. “I don’t think we can kill our own people while we’re right under the eyes of the teachers from the six sects.”

When Happy heard this, he instantly laughed in spite of himself. “Hehe, don’t worry, I’m not in that much of a hurry to kill those two. What I’m thinking about now is how to deal with Ceng A’niu.”

Ancient Wind and Momo were so shocked that they were rendered speechless.

Zhou Yu was the second player to enter Life and Death Realm, and he had already reached that qi realm for twenty days. Even though none of his Life and Death Realm martial arts had reached Grandmaster Realm yet, they were not at a low level, and their damage was much higher than that of Mystical Realm martial arts. His damage might not be at all inferior to Happy’s. In fact, there were people who said that Happy might not be Zhou Yu’s opponent.

Phantasmal Shadow was also very extraordinary.

With the two Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank second ranked players working together along with more than one hundred great players to defend Zhang Wuji, Momo and Ancient Wind thought that Happy had already given up on attacking Zhang Wuji.

When Happy noticed the puzzlement from the duo, he sucked in a deep breath and sighed. “Even though Ceng A’niu is a moral person, since we’re on the six great sects’ side, we have to work for them. It’ll be easier for us to break through from the right. Momo, provide cover for me later on. You just need to hurt Zhang Wuji, and it’ll be enough.”

“What about me?” When Ancient Wind saw that Happy had finished discussing matters with Momo, he instantly became anxious.

Happy looked at him. “I know Momo’s abilities better. What concerns you, you can come along with me. Just act according to the situation later, and it’ll be enough.”

Ancient Wind nodded vigorously.

At that moment, half of the time set by the system had already passed!

“Attack!”

The trio shot out from the crowd at the same time, one of them leading the other two.

*****

“Look, it’s Happy!”

When the crowd saw the man with the golden armor heading toward them with an astonishing momentum, the players from the six great system-allocated sects instantly felt their spirits lift. They cried out in surprise and rushed at the Ming Cult members. The advantage built by Zhou Yu and Phantasmal Shadow as well as the others from Ming Cult instantly faltered, and they became uneasy.

Buzz!

Zhou Yu and Phantasmal Shadow noticed the trio coming at them. Their gazes focused, but Phantasmal Shadow was held back by Dream Clouds and could not move.

Zhou Yu flicked his silver spear then, and it suddenly let out an astonishing whine! At the same time, his gaze shot through the crowd like lightning straight at Happy.

When he sensed the provocation from the second strongest player on the Dragon Rank, Happy frowned slightly.

He calmly brought out a sheathed sword from his Universe Bag.

His sheath had three colors swirling around them: purple, red, and blue.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, because Happy did not change his direction and accepted his challenge.

Just when a mocking look appeared on his face, he saw Happy suddenly increase his speed and like a phantom appear in front of two Ming Cult disciples. He placed his right hand against his sword hilt and resolutely pushed his sword out slightly!

Clang!

A clear and charming sword whine spread through the valley. A breathtaking sword glare easily cut into the midst of the Ming Cult disciples with a beautiful and charming halo that looked like an illusion.
