Sword Among Us

Chapter 730: Dragon Shadow

‘Hurry! Faster!’

Cold wind howled nonstop and cut at Happy like blades, but he did not care that the cold wind trapped him. He just moved with the shadows of his sword, and in an instant, dozens of sword qi weaved into the cold wind. With thunderous booms roaring around him, the sword qi were like lightning bolts that flashed in the cold wind.

Shick! Shick! Shick!

Sword light left thin gashes on Jinjiu’s body.

The man’s bare chest was already covered in countless thin red gashes that intersected with each other.

Before Jinjiu could strike Happy, he had already spun on his heels and left, breaking free from the saber glares that filled the air. He positioned his sword horizontally over his chest, sucked in a breath, and prepared his next wave of attacks.

Happy was very satisfied with the progress of his training!

Training against a Myth Realm martial artist was in itself a great impetus. Happy could improve at astonishing speeds, and his mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill gave him a slight boost in speed when it came to levelling up his martial arts. In less than two hours, Happy had smoothly reached a breakthrough and entered the seventh realm. His attack speed as well as damage rose to another level.

The battlefield between him and Jinjiu had shifted to the coldest region in the extremely cold cave because the temperature was not as cold there.

Even though Jinjiu’s body fortification had not been broken just yet, with Seventh Sword’s help, Happy’s Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style’s attack speed reached another level, and even before it let out a sound, the sword reached its target! Happy reached the state of his sword lights exceeding the speed of sound, and he could now execute supersonic attacks. Because of it, he had unique offensive effects attached to his attacks.

Even though Jinjiu still had his body fortification and other defenses, he was completely suppressed by Happy. Once Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style reached the seventh realm, he had delivered more than two hundred sword slashes.

But no matter what, Jinjiu was a Myth Realm martial artist. Not only was his qi cultivation base incredibly strong, his vitality was also very great. Every time he was injured, all he needed to do was to circulate his qi once, and his bleeding wound would immediately turn into a fine red gash, which made Happy sigh in amazement.

The ground and walls of the large cave were all scratched up. Saber glares mixed with shattered ice and dirt while they stirred up tornadoes that howled nonstop. They occupied most of the space in the cave and instantly blocked all of Happy’s escape routes.

Even though Jinjiu’s qi realm had dropped, his combat strength did not fall by much. Each of his counterattacks was fiercer than the last, and they were enough to determine Happy’s life and death in a second.

Happy had fought against Jinjiu for more than two hours and gotten a grasp of Jinjiu’s strength.

While Great Saber Breaking Art was very profound, its ferocity was hidden within a slash that contained a great momentum. The other attacks were rather flashy but were bait—they looked powerful, but were actually nothing much.

Of course, each normal saber glare still contained at least twenty thousand damage, and a Life and Death Realm player could not deal with them. Those who were slightly weaker would be torn apart instantly.

However, Happy remained calm in the face of the saber glares that came at him.

While he retreated, he also attacked.

One second passed.

Boom!

Ruuuuumbleeeee...

Dense sword lights shone like the sun and cut apart all the saber glares that filled up the cave before they quickly melted away.

At that same time, thunder roared.

Endless loud thunderous booms rose, and their intimidating force was further increased by the cave. The booms echoed nonstop in the narrow space and shook the duo’s hearts.

Happy was in a better condition. The thunder could increase his momentum and increase the effect of his boiling blood.

He seized the chance when Jinjiu had a fierce expression on his face while he fought against the endless sounds of thunder crashing against his eardrums. Happy turned around without hesitation and shot out from a space mixed with ice, earth, and other things and delivered a chilling sword slash shining with a cold light.

“You fell for the trap, brat!”

Jinjiu suddenly laughed and spread out his right arm with a vicious sneer. A dazzling saber glare that was as bright as the sun was instantly executed.

The saber glare was wider than three feet, and it was like a scorching golden flame that had the momentum which could sweep away everything in its path. It instantly arrived in front of Happy.

When Happy faced the threat of his body being cut in half, a faint and confident smile appeared on his lips.

He pulled his sword back, and an astonishing momentum swiftly rose from his body.

The large cave seemed to shine with seven rays of dazzling light. A ball of invisible air swept up Happy’s body and guided the scorching saber glare.

It was led aside by Happy’s sword tip and viciously cut into the wall beside him with a violent roar.

Boom!

A trench that was deeper than six and a half feet appeared on the wall.

Happy lowered himself and landed on the ground. When he regained his footing, he quickly drew his sword back and stopped. He was incredibly shocked by the damage caused by Jinjiu’s slash.

The slash just then might have been slightly weaker than Yinshi’s Great Saber Breaker Art, but it was also stronger because it was executed in an instant, which could take people by surprise. Its damage was also astonishing.

If it landed on a person, it would definitely cut them down.

Jinjiu did not manage to kill Happy with his slash, but he lost quite a lot of qi. When he saw Happy standing in perfect condition by the side, a hint of solemnness appeared briefly in his eyes, even though he was usually a hot-tempered person.

“Shifting Stars, what a technique...” His tone was cold, and his killing intent became even greater.

“Senior, you praise me too much.”

Happy calmed down the surging blood in his heart while he answered with a tone that could not be considered humble or respectful.

“Hmph! Don’t be too arrogant...” Jinjiu’s expression sank as if he had just made a very difficult decision, and he said fiercely, “If you can receive my next slash, then I will consider you to have truly mastered Shifting Stars.”

As he spoke, he suddenly took a stance that Happy was very familiar with.

The man held his golden saber with both hands and stood with closed eyes. An astonishing momentum rose from his body.

Happy said nothing. He managed to recognize with just one glance that it was Yinshi’s slash, which had the effect of freezing up space. It was probably the profound secret of Great Saber Breaker Art.

He narrowed his eyes, and his heart sank.

He had already activated Arhat Body’s profound secret, Silver Light Arhat, earlier. He was not able to activate it again within a short amount of time, so if he tried to receive the slash head-on, it would be the same as him using his life to receive that technique.

While Shifting Stars could shift attacks to other places, the more terrifying an attack was, the harder it was to do it. Happy had been able to shift the attack moments before because he had been prepared for it.

Right now, however, Jinjiu was executing his slash with everything he had, and if anyone wanted to use Shifting Stars to deal with it, they could not be Happy, but the old coots from the Murong Clan...

But unfortunately, Jinjiu had coincidentally stood in front of two tunnels, blocking Happy’s path to escape.

‘As expected, the older you are, the more experienced you become.’

When Happy noticed that he had been unexpectedly cornered, he gritted his teeth.

Sparring for more than two hours had lowered his wariness.

When he saw Jinjiu slowly lift his golden saber and an aggressive presence that came cutting at his face almost freezing up the entire space, Happy could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

At the final moment, he gritted his teeth and put away his longsword.

Then, in front of Jinjiu, he quickly changed to Heavenly Silk King Ice Gloves, which exuded a terrifying chill. Then, with a stern and grave expression, he quickly formed a seal with his hands.

Qu! [1]

Jinjiu naturally noticed how the aura around Happy’s body gained substantial form, but when he saw that Happy had actually decided to fight against him head-on, he laughed coldly.

He shook his head and swung his golden saber resolutely!

The ground shattered without a sound, and space was split in half. The slash quickly rushed to Happy.

Almost at the same time, Happy completed Unmoving Bright King Seal. He opened his eyes swiftly and shouted a syllable that was so loud it shook space.

“Lin!”

Before the saber glare touched him, a black dragon shadow descended and surrounded him in the shape of a matrix. Once Happy finished uttering the truth, it instantly gained substantial form!

Boom!
