Sword Among Us

Chapter 731: Qilin Blood

Boom!

A deafening roar rang through the cave, and the saber glare instantly cut apart the black shadow of the sitting dragon. Under the enchantment from Unmoving Bright King Seal, however, the saber glare shattered as well, and fragments of it flew everywhere. It struck stones and dirt, which created chaos in the cave.

Once Jinjiu executed the sword slash, he lost track of Happy’s location and all information about him.

He was in the chaos, but he remained calm. He paid attention to the changes around him, and his expression gradually turned grave.

Even a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm would not be able to survive a fully-powered Great Saber Breaker Art slash, but the Moksha Realm brat in front of him seemed to still have a breath left.

He recalled what happened just earlier: when the saber glare landed on the dragon shadow, he felt a sort of strength blocking and negating it. His saber glare was fierce, while that strength was gentle. They fused together perfectly.

Even though the dragon shadow did not manage to block it, the saber glare’s power had been greatly weakened.

The profound secret of Great Saber Breaker Art had been triggered beforehand and negated!

He thought that it was Happy’s body that was split, but by the looks of it, it was the sitting dragon which got hurt.

And it was just as Jinjiu suspected.

The moment the dust fell, Happy slowly appeared in front of Jinjiu.

His qi waned, and he was in a very bad condition. In fact, there was a terrifying wound that extended from his shoulder to his waist. A faint silver sheen on his skin slowly faded away to reveal a normal shade of red.

Even though he managed to receive Jinjiu’s strongest attack, he still ended up being greatly wounded.

“Hmph!”

Jinjiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he flung his golden saber. With a mighty presence, he positioned it diagonally with the tip facing the ground. A brutal heat burned in his eyes.

“Today, I will bury you together with Yinshi!”

Before he even finished speaking, he sensed a wave of qi rapidly becoming stronger in Happy’s body.

Then, Happy formed a strange seal despite his heavy injury.

“Jie!”

The air trembled slightly!

A mighty and powerful presence returned to his body. In fact, visible waves of heat could be seen in the air all around him. They surged into his body quickly at an astonishing speed.

Jinjiu was rendered speechless. When he saw it, his expression changed drastically.

“Nine True Words Seals!”

He had decades of experience in the world of martial artists, so he could tell what the seals were as well as their uses. He could also sense that Happy’s depleted true qi was swiftly recovering, and his wounds were also healing rapidly. It was so fast that it could compare to a qi cultivation technique at Myth Realm.

There was no way Jinjiu would let Happy recover his energy and stamina.

The slash early had used up quite a lot of his qi. His chest heaved, and it was difficult for him to recover. He forcefully circulated his qi through his body once and finally recovered his mobility.

But Happy “opened” his eyes almost at the same time. He ignored the sharp pain coming from his wounds and hastily brought out a strange looking red drop of blood from his Universe Bag.

He had no other choice.

Even though Nine True Words Seals’ Outer Lion Seal had increased the recovery properties of Nine Yang Divine Skill, it was still impossible for him to recover from his wounds within a short period of time.

He had no other choice. He had to waste a drop of Fire Qilin Blood.

The blood entered his mouth and turned into a fierce wave of heat.

Happy’s body immediately felt as if it was about to start melting. It became hot, and his skin lit up with a fierce red light. It was like he was about to start burning.

When Jinjiu saw it, there was only shock in his eyes.

He could clearly see that when Happy’s body began shining with the red light, his wounds began to heal at a frightening pace. They fused together into a small wound before it rapidly evaporated, and his skin became as smooth as silk.

Happy’s qi quickly rose as well.

Mystical Realm, Life and Death Realm, Moksha Realm!

His energy and stamina recovered in an instant.

Happy enjoyed the feeling very much and exhaled. It was as expected of a consumable demon vessel. Fire Qilin Blood contained great life force and healing properties, which was not something a normal person could imagine.

When it was used by Happy, the recovery effects were even more obvious. His qi and essence instantly recovered to their best condition!

Even though there was no longer any qi that spilled outward to increase the effects, when Happy furled his hands, he felt endless energy in his body, and there was a strong urge calling out to him to use that energy!

“Brat, die!”

Jinjiu recovered from the shock. He noticed that the situation was incredibly bad for him, which was why he drew his saber and swung it down at Happy’s head.

Happy had a powerful urge calling out for him to use his qi. When he sensed the saber glare charging at him, he was not terrified but happy, and he raised his hand to push forward.

“ROAR!”

A dragon-shaped vortex that was about three feet wide shot out of his palm. With a clear and powerful heat, it rammed with a lightning fast speed against the saber glare that aimed to cut his face.

Happy did not not know whether it was because Jinjiu’s saber glare had lost a lot of its might after Jinjiu lost a large portion of his power or whether it was because of the effects from Fire Qilin Blood, but he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something else in his palm strike, and its power increased drastically.

Bang!

A Myth Realm martial artist’s saber glare shattered under Happy’s palm strike, and the remaining force crashed at Jinjiu’s feet. While it did not throw him off, he still drew two deep trenches on the already scarred ground. He only stopped when he crashed into the wall behind him.

He breathed in.

Jinjiu’s face was full of shock and disbelief. His chest heaved violently while he stared at Happy, who seemed to be surprised. “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms...”

Happy schooled his face and cast Jinjiu a glance. “That’s right. I didn’t expect that Fire Qilin Blood would provide additional effects for Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The first palm strike has already reached Inaction Realm. Heh heh...”

Once he said it, he suddenly laughed. “I wonder whether it will have the accumulative effect for my later strikes too.”

Happy’s mind was attracted by Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ might. He no longer drew his sword but bent his knees.

Whoosh!

He seemed to have reached a small breakthrough in terms of his speed.

Happy frowned a little.

By the looks of it, the phenomenon of Fire Qilin Blood causing his qi to spill out had caused his speed to increase. He was now faster than before.

While he thought about it, Jinjiu arrived nearby with a slightly shocked and alarmed gaze.

Boom!

When Jinjiu lifted his saber, Happy struck with his palm at the speed of lightning, and he sealed off Jinjiu and the saber’s path before he slammed them against the wall behind them.

A loud dragon roar rose, and the mountain trembled slightly.

Jinjiu coughed up blood on his golden saber, and his face turned even paler. Finally, he was inflicted with rather severe internal injuries.

“I didn’t expect your arm strength to have exceeded two hundred points!” he said laboriously. His words took Happy by surprise.

He furrowed his eyebrows a little.

Without hesitation, he threw Jinjiu at the wall beside him with a single palm strike before he quickly cast a glance at his innate attributes, and an enlightened expression appeared on his face.

‘I see, so that’s how it is!’

He turned his head around and saw Jinjiu sitting still by the corner of the wall with a pale face only found on those who were dead. His once dignified and untameable eyes were gradually losing their spark.
