Sword Among Us

Chapter 554: One Emperor’s Sixth Sword!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The martial artists of the world laughed, but many players found themselves unable to do so!

Wei Yixiao’s lightness skill was something that terrified the world. It was so fast that others found it hard to notice and capture his tracks. With Freezing Soft Palm, he practically created the perfect combo to kill people. His strength might not be as great as that of Master Kong Xiang, but he was much more difficult to handle and fight compared to Master Kong Xiang!

Happy had been able to win against him so easily, and this caused Orochimaru, who practiced Profound Abyss Divine Palm, to break out in cold sweat. He once again considered himself lucky to not have attacked Happy while at Eternal Peace Temple.

The people from Class One Hall were shocked by Happy’s decisive win too.

They thought that Happy would stop at four points, so they did not expect that Happy would leave everyone behind by such a large degree, and that included One Emperor, who only had three points by then.

Happy won five consecutive rounds and obtained five points!

When he fought against Wei Yixiao, he obtained a notification from the system that his Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill had increased by a realm. It shot from the eighth realm straight to the peak of the ninth realm, and his qi also rose by more than ten points. Right then, his qi had already reached 467 points!

Happy was delighted.

No matter what were the end results of the martial arts tournament, winning five consecutive rounds and gaining dozens of qi points meant that he had saved up on two months’ worth of training.

*****

At that moment, One Emperor’s expression was terrible!

Fighting to a draw against Zhou Zhiruo was against his expectations. Right then, he still had three points, so he could only continue searching for his next opponent.

But his luck was really terrible.

His next opponent was actually Ling Huchong, a person who practiced Nine Solitary Swords, and who also had incredibly great sword skills.

One Emperor said nothing, but quite a number of people at the foot of the stage lamented his lack of luck.

Even though One Emperor’s damage was incredible, compared to Ling Huchong, who could turn bad sword skills into something amazing, it was clear that he was weaker.

His dejected looking swordsman of a master had been drinking quietly behind him all this while, but One Emperor saw that at that moment, he stopped drinking. A hint of graveness appeared in his eyes.

For the first time, a heavy weight settled on One Emperor’s heart.

He quickly noticed that his state of mind had changed! Emotions that he never had before affected his mood, and they also affected the sword will in his heart.

His fight against Zhou Zhiruo had caused him to be slightly displeased, but this time, he sensed an even stronger sword will from Ling Huchong.

His will was shaken!

‘Happy, looks like I’ll have to break my promise with you.’ One Emperor sighed in his heart while smiling bitterly.

Happy quickly opened his eyes.

His gaze moved to One Emperor. At that moment, Happy finally realized One Emperor’s difficulty, and when he saw Ling Huchong, his heart trembled.

‘It’s him!’

Ling Huchong’s Nine Solitary Swords might not be perfect, but there were few people in the world of martial arts who could compare to him. He was a legendary character in Happy’s previous life, and he did not expect...

There were countless people who lamented this fact.

When they saw Ling Huchong get up the stage to face One Emperor, the countless spectators on the official website who had been longing for the fight felt their emotions plummet. All of them looked incredibly somber!

Even though the fight between One Emperor and Ling Huchong was as fierce as possible, the disparity of strength between them was obviously too great. Ling Huchong attacked in a very casual and free manner, as if he was a drunkard strutting down the streets, while One Emperor was forced into a defensive position for the first time ever.

Within a short period of time, Ling Huchong managed to force One Emperor into a corner.

Happy felt grief in his heart, and he could not bear to look at it anymore.

He looked away.

“Young Swordsman Happy, your opponent for the sixth round will be me.”

At that moment, a heroic voice came out of nowhere to attract his attention. Happy turned his head around to look, and he did so just in time to see Xiao Feng rise from his seat. Under Duan Yu and Xuzhu’s gazes, he jumped up on the stage! He walked forward in a majestic gait, and his presence was bold as well as heroic!

“I see. It’s the sect master of northern Beggar’s Sect, Great Hero Xiao.”

Happy felt his heart tense, and he instinctively wrapped his fist in his palm. He was very respectful toward this man. He was heroic and stood fearless, a model among men.

Then, he felt his heart sink. He knew that he would most likely be unable to win his sixth round...

Xiao Feng’s strength was about the same as that of Guo Jing. Happy and Xiao Feng were simply not at the same level.

However, since Happy faced the sect master of Beggar’s Sect, who was a legendary martial artist who was the most skilled with Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, he was filled with respect toward him. He had never had the chance to fight against someone of his caliber in his previous life, so why should he avoid it now?

“Even if I lose, it will be a joy to fight against you, Great Hero Xiao.” Happy laughed heartily before he said firmly, “Please!”

“You have a heroic and bold spirit in you, boy! Since that’s the case, I will not put on any pretense. I will not hold back in this fight, boy. Do your best and let me witness your twenty-eight palms!”

Happy said nothing, but when he heard his words, he felt his heart sink. Still, he answered without hesitation. “I will show my respect to you by obeying!”

His boiling blood that had not calmed down from the fight against Wei Yixiao started burning even more madly. He tapped against the ground, and with a burning fighting spirit, he rushed to Xiao Feng! A terrifying momentum surged up Happy’s body.

A faint hint of solemnity and puzzlement appeared on Xiao Feng’s face.

“Perfecting timing!”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, did a straight left, right thrust, an uppercut, and a hammer fist. The weather above the stage changed. An astonishing qi flow gathered on Xiao Feng’s palms, and even Guo Jing, who was at the foot of the stage, stood up swiftly. There was a solemn expression in his eyes.

“This is...”

“ROAR!”

He intersected his arms, and a furious dragon roar rose into the air. A huge golden dragon shot out from Xiao Feng’s palms to charge toward Happy.

Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets!

At that instant, a powerful pressure that Happy could not resist suppressed his mobility. He felt a great dragon descend from the sky. A power that caused the world to be in despair locked down on him and enveloped his entire body.

Boom!

His body shuddered. The golden dragon shot through his body like lightning...

At the same time, Ling Huchong and One Emperor’s battle also came to an end.

A clear and loud sword whine that was accompanied by a sword whistle filled with the presence of death rose from that stage.

Countless people at the foot of the stage stood up!

One Emperor was covered in blood, and he flew out of the stage like a kite with its string snapped.

However, at the instant he fell, he opened his eyes swiftly. They were like two cold stars that shone with an astonishing spark.

One Emperor attacked resolutely. A black bolt of lightning sliced through the air, and instantly pierced Ling Huchong’s shoulder. Then, One Emperor crashed violently into the arms of the abject swordsman, who had appeared at the foot of the stage at some point in time.

The abject swordsman had a complicated expression on his face when he looked at Ling Huchong, who was injured on the stage. He then looked away and examined One Emperor. For the first time, he revealed an incredibly awe-inspiring and gratified expression.

“You are indeed much more exceptional that what I expected. You only needed a very short time to understand the sixth slash... It is a commendable feat. Now, do you understand who is the greatest enemy among swordsmen?”

One Emperor’s expression might have been pale, but there was an incredibly determined and sharp look in his eyes.

“I understand.”

As he spoke, he stared at Happy, who was caught by the Murong Clan Lady, with a burning spark in his eyes. A powerful desire to fight was seen on his face.
