Sword Among Us

Chapter 961: Sword Technique Revealed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Seventh?”

The Third Elder and Thirteen Elder arrived next to the evil man, and his gaze was on Happy’s longsword. He never relaxed even when the other elders arrived next to him. “What’s going on?”

“There’s an error to our information. He might have already some level of attainment for his Great Demonic World Destruction Art. The power in it isn’t inferior to a normal Moksha Realm sword technique at Grandmaster Realm,” the evil man told the duo with a solemn expression.

The Third Elder and Thirteenth Elder had a surprised look flash in their eyes.

“Impossible...”

“I heard that it has been one week since he reached Moksha Realm. Even if he trains twenty-four hours a day, it’s impossible for him to be able to push a unique sword technique above the seventh realm so quickly.”

“My Chaotic Black Demonic Clouds Spear Technique is also a unique martial art. Its offense and defense is not low. Did you actually think that an attack below the seventh realm can make my arm numb, even if it’s fused with hidden force?”

Silence.

When he noticed the grave looks that were cast on him, Happy flung his longsword and said, “The people who came this time are finally presentable.”

He had truly intended to kill the evil man in one go with the attack just now, but he did not expect that not only was he resolute in his movements, he also executed a few amazing moves continuously, and he nearly suffered a setback because of it.

After he reentered World of Martial Arts, this was the first time he ran into such a difficult character to fight against.

“But this time, I won’t give you a chance anymore. Why don’t all three of you attack me at the same time?”

“Boy, you sure are arrogant. You can’t even win against one single elder, and you want to fight against all three of them?” The person who answered Happy was a Blood Alliance member standing not too far away from Happy.

A few people stood over there, and they made a racket in a conceited manner.

These people’s words did not affect Happy’s calm heart. With his usual composed expression, he stared at the evil man, and suddenly, he vanished.

Just when the Blood Alliance members were shocked, Happy, who was originally supposed to be at a disadvantage, abruptly seized the initiative to attack in his “anger”, and charged at the three elders from Blood Alliance.

Whoosh!

The third elder was the fastest to react.

He tapped against the ground and lightly retreated more than thirty feet back. Then, murderous sounds came traveling out loudly from the holes in the xiao and enveloped the entire area.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The evil man and the man with the greataxe and the thick armor took two diagonal steps. One of them moved to the left, and the other to the right. A fierce spear momentum instantly erupted forth.

They formed a triangle formation!

The teamwork between the trio and their battle instincts was incredibly great.

When he saw their reaction, Happy immediately felt a fierce, continuous, and dangerous presence charge at him.

Once the sounds from the xiao entered his ears, a feeling as if his qi and blood could not circulate properly charged into his chest and limbs.

As his qi and blood crashed against each other, the Grieving Needle at his chest started aching once more.

Boom!

Happy’s vision was instantly filled with red. Pain swept through his entire body, and that pain just kept seeping into him desperately.

At the same time, a black spear forest came at him nonstop, and while they intersected with each other, it charged at him with the intensity of a tidal wave.

“Get lost!”

An incredibly loud shout tumbled out of his lips. Happy was finally able to circulate his Tendon Changing Classic to force down all the pain and bafflement brought to him by the sounds of the xiao entering his ears, causing him to be surrounded by danger. Once the pain and bafflement was gone, he ignored the spear forest continuously charging at him, and with a continuous stream of black sword light, he crashed straight into the spear forest fiercely and unthinkingly.

“You’re asking for death!” The evil man flew into a rage.

Spear techniques were the same as axe techniques. They possessed the most outstanding attack from other martial arts at the same level.

And here Happy was, thinking of using a sword technique which had not reached Grandmaster Realm to fight against him. It caused him to be excited but also furious because he had been underestimated.

Cling cling clang clang!

The spear and sword crashed against each other, and numerous sparks that intersected with each other instantly flew in the air. They were like scattered fireworks that were filled with a torn but tragically beautiful air.

“Hahahaha! What right do you have to fight against me with brute strength?!

“Your level isn’t as high as mine, your weapon isn’t as great as mine, and your Affinity is much worse! What do you think you can use to fight against me?! Thirteenth, don’t move! I’ll definitely kill him today!”

In an instant, the two people clashed against each other, and they exchanged more than ten blows. The evil man’s arrogant laughter rang through the canyon.

But his laughter fell completely silent before it could last for three seconds!

Third and Thirteenth saw everything clearly, as the evil man missed his attack, Happy suddenly crashed into Seventh’s bosom’s, and the advantage in longspears instantly turned into a disadvantage. He then had his shoulder seized by Happy.

Thirteenth widened his eyes, and without hesitation, he stomped against the ground.

Thud!

A hidden force shot forward!

At the same time, it abruptly increased in speed and charged at a shocking pace to the battlefield between the two.

“Hmph!”

Happy had been paying attention to the actions of the axe-wielding man, who was the closest to him. When he saw his actions, he scowled, jumped into the air, and turned around. Then, with one palm strike, he made the evil man fall on the ground.

“Urk!”

A sickly flush rose on the evil man’s face, and he coughed up blood. While Dragon Capture’s attack was not strong, the hidden force contained in it, along with the fierce hidden force that came charging at him from the ground, destroyed his defense, and it caused him to be so severely wounded that he coughed up blood.

Thirteenth’s hidden force was used by Happy.

But Seventh and Third sighed in relief, because if Thirteenth had not delivered that timely hidden force, Seventh’s neck might have been cut through.

Being heavily injured was still better than dying.

Thirteenth rushed over as if there was wind behind him.

Thud thud thud!

Thirteenth moved with steady footsteps and a profound gaze. He did not not swing his axe like a war machine, but instead, dragged his axe and chased after Happy in a straight line.

The attack speed in an axe was slow, and it had a lot of openings, but Blood Alliance’s Thirteenth Elder clearly had a deep understanding toward axe techniques. With a sturdy and impenetrable armor, he could treat himself as a moving tank. His axe became a backup for him, and once anyone got close to him, that person will be faced with a fatal strike.

‘...He’s another difficult one.’

Even with Petite Dragon, Happy did not dare to easily take the initiative to attack or get close to him.

The attack range for a greataxe was large, and even if he lightly dodged to avoid the attack, he might not be able to succeed.

When faced with Thirteenth’s rapid charge, Happy retreated madly without stopping, and soon, he was quickly forced to a corner near a mountain.

He could no longer retreat.

Thirteenth’s eyes lit up. When he noticed that Happy was slowing down. His grip around his axe tightened, and his eyes shone with a bright red light. However, right when he was prepared to attack, Happy suddenly sped up and, with an indomitable spirit, used the mountain to assist him in turning around.

Whoosh!

Once he turned, he delivered a sword slash.

It might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but it all ended in a flash.

Thirteenth’s timing in attacking and his momentum paused for a moment because of Happy slowing down before speeding up. This elite, who had a high requirement in timing his attacks, was finally unable to help but reveal a small opening, and once Happy used the mountain to assist him in turning, he dashed at Thirteenth with an astonishing speed after becoming one with his sword. An astonishing black flame rushed at Thirteenth’s face.

‘This isn’t good!’

Thirteenth instantly understood that he missed his best opportunity in attacking.

The attack speed in an axe could not compete with a sword technique at all. Hence, while inertia forced him to continue moving forward, Happy managed to force him into a desperate situation by using the mountain to help him in turning around.

At that moment, if he continued moving forward, he will be pierced to death with one single sword thrust while Happy remained completely uninjured.

Without another word, he forcefully leaned back to avoid the sword, performing a standard act of tensing his body and falling backwards, which allowed him to avoid having his head pierced through.

Happy did not care about Thirteenth, whose body was as sturdy as a rock. He used the momentum to rush forward, and in an instant, the distance between widened by more than sixty-five feet. He rushed at Seventh and Third.

Thirteenth had the toughest body, Happy would deal with him last.

His first goals must be to get rid of Third—the flautist—and the injured Seventh.

But the scene that happened between Happy and Thirteenth caused those from Blood Alliance to be incredibly gloomy.

They could not understand how the unyielding Happy would be chased around by Thirteenth in the beginning and would not even dare to receive his attacks, but as he turned around, he performed a beautiful attack while moving as if he was one with his sword. It was as if he had practiced this multiple times. Then, he charged past Thirteenth to stay out of his way.

“What the heck?”

“I don’t understand!”

“Seventh, be careful, my xiao notes don’t work on him.”

Third’s expression changed drastically. Even though he held a thin and short jade xiao, he did not dare fight against Happy head on. Instead, he just stood in the distance to shout a warning at Seventh.

Seventh looked bitter.

When those two hidden forces clashed against each other in his body, it was as if a small-scale earthquake happened in him. Right now, his qi and blood were tumbling madly, and he could not immediately suppress it.

Thirteenth ran around the area in a game of cat and mouse, but was left far behind right now. Seventh was now the one who had to fight against Happy alone, and it would be a lie to say that he did not feel any pressure.

But at that moment, he could only force himself to hold his breath and instantly use his final moves to hold Happy back while waiting for Thirteenth to provide reinforcements.

“Ground Breaker!”

Before Happy got closer...

Bang!

He struck the ground with a heavy blow with his spear!

Countless shattered stones flew everywhere, and it went at Happy like a sandstorm.

This move might have been useful to others, but to Happy, it would clearly be too much of a stretch for it to work against him.

At the moment he lifted his spear, Happy already knew his goal. Right when the hidden force exploded forth, he activated his Illusory Cave Steps.

Holes were left behind on his afterimage, but Happy’s real body had already circumnavigated the sandstorm, and now, he was sixteen feet away from Seventh.

Crazed Demonic Spin!

Seventh’s pupils shrank.

Right when he retreated, he swung his longspear like a mill in front of him.

At that moment, the others from Blood Alliance were still unable to see what was wrong.

Thirteenth had already arrived at an area fifty feet behind Happy. As long as Happy stopped for even half a second, he will be surrounded back and front.

“Break!” Happy shouted loudly but calmly. The longsword in his hands brought with it an amazing glare that pierced into the center of the impenetrable, spinning spear.

The impenetrable, spinning spear froze a little.

As Seventh grunted in pain, the impenetrable, spinning spear instantly stopped moving and fell to the ground dejectedly with a hand still attached to it. Seventh’s face was pale as he staggered backward, and he bled all the way as he retreated.

“Seventh Elder!”

“Seventh!”

“Big Bro’ Seventh!”

The Blood Alliance members were stunned.

Before the perfect pincer attack formation could appear, Seventh had one hand severed by one slash from Happy, and he even lost his weapon.

“I’ll kill you!” Thirteenth was overwhelmed by fear and anger. He rushed over with loud rumbling noises, just like a real tank.

“This is for you!”

Happy flipped around in the air without stopping, and his longsword picked up Seventh’s weapon accurately. Then, as if it was sentient, the longspear flew at Thirteenth with an aggressive momentum.

His act of flipping around, snatching the spear, and throwing his spear was all done in one breath.

Thirteenth’s momentum came to a stop.

When he charged forward, he swung his axe without hesitation in preparation to block Seventh’s weapon.

At the instant the axe and the longspear crashed, a powerful hidden force collided into the defenseless Thirteen’s body.

He grunted, and Thirteenth staggered. His axe almost slipped out of his grasp, and he was full of openings. Clearly, he suffered a huge setback.

When they saw this, Blood Alliance cried out in surprise again!

But Happy snorted coldly, and he rushed to Seventh, who now had one hand severed.

“How dare you?!”

A hint of ruthlessness, fear, and anger flashed in Thirteenth’s eyes. He did not expect that his performance did not make Happy fall into his trap. He tightened his grip around his weapon. He immediately stopped staggering and charged at Happy.
