Sword Among Us

Chapter 528: Fight!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pretty interesting.”

One Emperor watched Silver Wolf gear himself quietly. Not only did he not scoff at Silver Wolf’s serious act of changing to his fourth-echelon equipment, faint excitement appeared on his face.

Since it was a game, they should act based on the rules of the game and fight with all their strength!

The people who pretended to be elegant and showed off their bearing through their dazzling clothes but were unable to withstand even one slash from him were idiots with no strength pretending to be cool. In comparison, the people who could make correct assessments of situations were people who were worthy of One Emperor to attack them.

In One Emperor’s eyes, Silver Wolf was Happy’s best subordinate, but Silver Wolf was actually much stronger than Happy in certain aspects of fighting. He was considered to have created his own martial arts, and his fighting style was also based off the military, which was precisely the part of him that was worthy of One Emperor attacking him.

When he saw that Silver Wolf had finished equipping himself, One Emperor’s lips turned into a small arc.

“You only have one chance to attack.”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

Even though Silver Wolf had vaguely guessed One Emperor’s real identity through his conversation with Happy, he also had a great understanding and confidence toward his own strength. A powerful presence that was trained from the battlefield rose from him, and it was the first time it surged out of his body.

One Emperor gasped softly in amazement, but he soon composed himself. “I see.”

Their conversation was simple and secretive. The onlookers were confused; they could not make heads or tails of it.

However, the aura of Silver Wolf vaguely showed an unyielding force and callousness that he had never shown before. His killing intent was also held back, and his withdrawn presence made him appear incredibly dangerous. He seemed to have gained the power to fight One Emperor on equal grounds.

Thud!

Silver Wolf suddenly shot out, and he did so without any warning!

While the people at the foot of the stage were still affected by the terrifying atmosphere and pressure between the two, they did not even see Silver Wolf bending his knees. He instantly rushed more than thirty feet forward.

Only the truly powerful could notice the slightly trembling muscles and the miniscule act of Silver Wolf bending his knees, which was something that was already beyond what the naked eye could see. Silver Wolf repositioned himself from this action very quickly, and if anyone did not pay attention to it carefully, it was impossible for them to have noticed it.

However, even if a few people could catch up to Silver Wolf’s actions, they still felt a bone-chilling air from the bottom of their hearts.

“So fast!”

“He’s too fast!”

They did not even manage to see the action of him bending his knees, and he had traveled more than thirty feet. Even One Emperor had a slightly solemn expression on his face. He lowered his knees, causing the hem of his beautiful robes to sink down as well.

Thud!

He instinctively placed his right hand on his sword handle. A dangerous presence rose from One Emperor. The intensity of his killing intent was stronger than Silver Wolf’s!

Silver Wolf’s expression did not change.

Even though he rarely put on his fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set, he still enjoyed and understood his speed very much. He instantly got familiar with the explosive force and movement speed of his current state.

When he saw One Emperor place a hand on his sword, Silver Wolf felt the powerful pressure that he only sensed from Happy at the moment before he drew his sword.

His pupils shrank slightly!

Clang!

The people at the bottom of the stage could practically see Silver Wolf close his eyes and move horizontally two feet away at an astonishing speed at the moment One Emperor drew his longsword.

A black sword light quickly sliced at the afterimage Silver Wolf left behind at his original spot in the form of the letter “Z”. The attack tore through the afterimage and left behind a trench that was half a foot deep!

He missed his first slash!

One Emperor was clearly slightly surprised as well. It was something that had never happened before. Silver Wolf had actually managed to dodge the slash perfectly. A small hint of disbelief, surprise, and excitement rose in One Emperor’s eyes upon realizing that.

He had seized the moment Silver Wolf landed to attack. His sword draw speed was in the centiseconds, and even Zhou Yu did not have the time nor chance to dodge it, so he did not expect that Silver Wolf would actually manage to do it! He had moved horizontally while he was in the air, which resulted in the attack missing!

However, Silver Wolf had broken into cold sweat.

If he had not had some exchange of techniques with Happy and personally sensed Happy’s habits before he drew his sword, the sword will that would instantly cause a person to feel suffocated, the speed that no one could dodge, and the timing... Silver Wolf would have not been able to perform such a beautiful dodge in that split second.

‘Second slash!’

With that thought, One Emperor laughed long and hard. His black longsword moved like a thin, long, and sharp whip. It came at Silver Wolf from above, and it instantly went for Silver Wolf’s body, which was immobile in the air and could not dodge a second time.

‘What a fierce sword momentum!’

Countless people at the foot of the arena felt fear, as if the sword was coming right at them. They could only watch as Silver Wolf was struck by the black sword glare that gained the shape of a whip in the air and tore through it.

Burning pain swept through Silver Wolf’s nerves!

His body felt as if he had been sliced apart!

Fortunately, he had activated his body fortification in time. Even though it tore, it still withstood a part of the damage. The red flames that rose on his skin also absorbed part of the damage, which was why he managed to avoid the tragic fate of having his body cut open on the spot.

Splat!

Red blood spilled out of Silver Wolf’s body, and it sprayed all over the floor. The legendary fourth-echelon Golden Armor had a thin sword mark torn through it, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.

Even so, Silver Wolf still moved with agility. Without paying any attention to the pain, he twisted his body and tumbled on the floor before he propped himself up with one hand. He was like a golden scorpion that walked in the desert. His eyes shone with a fierce light, and it made him look like an injured wild beast.

At the moment he landed on the ground, he tensed up even further. The hair all over his body stood up while he stared at One Emperor fiercely. He did not bother acknowledging the frightening wound on his body, and neither did he acknowledge his blood pouring out on the floor from his chest, stomach, and leg.

Silver Wolf knew that he could not avoid the slash just then. The sword glare had gained physical form courtesy of One Emperor, and he could execute it with ease. He could also control the sword will contained in whatever way he wanted.

It was as expected of Happy’s most powerful opponent, against whom not even Happy had the confidence to win. If it were not for the fact that the Red Flame Palm Happy had given him had the effect of protecting his body and negating damage as well as evaporating qi after it reached Grandmaster Realm, the second slash would have cut through his internal organs.

The slight help from it allowed him to come out of the attack alive.

However, the people at the foot of the stage sighed regretfully nonstop. Anyone could tell that Silver Wolf was covered in blood before he could even get close to One Emperor, and he had lost a portion of his fighting abilities. The disparity in strength made it clear that it was impossible for Silver Wolf to last through the third slash.

As expected, One Emperor’s strength had already reached a level that exceeded a normal person’s understanding. With just two slashes, he severely wounded Silver Mask Duke, whom the people feared as much as they feared a gargantuan monster. Aside from NPC martial artists, who else could be One Emperor’s opponent in the game?

“Not bad.” One Emperor suddenly stopped at that moment and stared at Silver Wolf. “There are only three people currently who can force me to use a third slash. The first is Zhou Yu, the second is Night Rain Ashura, and the third is Barren Murderer. You... should be proud of yourself.”

After he finished speaking, he lifted his sword slowly, and a black sword curtain was drawn on the arena. Many people watched it with dumbfounded expressions.
