Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 204
Chapter 204: Danger Outside the Chamber
Happy’s seemingly suicidal and crazy action stunned every person in the chamber.
His decision to go up against Dead She-wolf’s killing technique—Continuous Flame Palm—head on exceeded everyone’s expectations, and it made even Red Dust break out in cold sweat for him.
But what shocked everyone the most was that in the face of around a dozen flame palms, his Golden Bell Cocoon remained as firm as a mountain. It withstood the fierce attacks in an immovable manner.
However, what caused them even greater disbelief was that when Happy extended his left hand to grab the air, he seemed to have grabbed something firmly, and a surprised as well as enraged voice rose from the air.
“Used Dragon Capture. Judgment: Capture failed!”
At the instant the system’s notification gave him his feedback, Happy sensed that the weak and boneless arm seemed to have stiffened instantly. He then used the chance to sense the general direction of Dead She-wolf’s body. Without any hesitation, he swung his right arm, which was equipped with Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm, and threw continuous punches as quickly as lightning.
Black shadows of his arm were formed in a continuous stream.
The sound of impact could be heard endlessly in the air.
Red Dust and the other two were dumbfounded. They forgot all about working together with Happy and just watched him fight alone. Even after Happy landed on the ground, he did not give up on chasing after Dead She-wolf. He used Eight Trigrams Steps and, like a shadow, chased after the rapidly vanishing trail of black blood.
He extended his left hand again into the air.
Dragon Capture!
A powerful suction force appeared in his palm again, and the system told him that he failed once more.
It seemed that it was true that the disparity between two different qi realms could not be closed in any way. Even with Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm, Happy could not injure Dead She-wolf severely with Stormy Shadowless Kick. She was still not at a disadvantage. She had also not lost control over her body and could deal with his powerful counterattacks.
However, Dragon Capture could make her freeze up temporarily, and it gave Happy ample time to attack.
He frowned, and his right arm moved like a trail of light while surrounded by a foul, cold, and black aura.
Boom! Boom!
Those sounds disappeared into the multiple layers of arm shadows. Happy thrust his arm forward and tore wound after wound in the body hidden in the air in front of him. Dead She-wolf howled shrilly in surprise, anger, and pain.
The other three players were stunned silent. The chamber seemed to have turned into an arena specifically for Happy and Dead She-wolf. Happy attacked quickly and had complete control over the rhythm of the fight. He also had perfect knowledge of Dead She-wolf’s movements, so the other three had no space to join the fight. They could only stand by the side with stunned expressions and watch blood, which was now several degrees darker than before, continuously fall on the floor of the chamber.
Dead She-wolf’s shrill, piercing, and pained howls attacked their eardrums and echoed endlessly in the chamber!
When Dead She-wolf was captured by Happy for the third time in a baffling manner, Red Dust subconsciously gulped. He exhaled deeply.
‘What a terrifying person.’
Before he came into the chamber, he had never thought that there would exist a player who could fight against Dead She-wolf alone and even suppress her until to such an extent.
‘Is it because of that item?’
Red Dust had already noticed the strange arm. His instincts told him that the equipment should be extraordinary and something that was at the very least a demon vessel.
However, there was also another voice telling him that it was definitely not the workings of that equipment.
Happy’s movements were too confident and familiar. He did not seem like a newbie who had just entered Fox Cave for first time but a veteran who had come there many times before. He seemed to have a great understanding of Dead She-wolf.
“Why are you daydreaming over there?! I want to rest!”
While the three were watching the battle, Happy finally found himself unable to continue.
Not only did he have to use his qi realm to maintain Golden Bell Cocoon and use Stormy Shadowless Kick, his Dragon Capture also used up a lot of his qi. He used it multiple times against the boss who was two qi realms above him, and it was simply beyond his power to continue the fight by himself. He had to use up a lot of his qi in multiple areas, and it could not regenerate at a fast enough rate. He could only call for someone else to take his place for the time being.
The three did not dare to be negligent. They entered the battlefield at the same time!
Whoosh!
Happy retreated in a timely manner and got out of Dead She-wolf’s field of vision.
By then, Dead She-wolf was poisoned pretty badly by the corpse poisoning. There were multiple tears on her body, and she bled nonstop. Not only was her condition extraordinarily bad, her location was rather obvious too. Her moving speed was also not as great as before.
The three easily took Happy’s place. While taking turns withstanding her attacks, they took lucky guesses of where she was and delivered their attacks at the air to further injure her!
Happy watched for a moment before relaxing and sitting down cross-legged to activate Complete Reality Qi Cultivation Technique.
His limbs and body were almost completely drained of qi, and he began to quickly bring forth new energy into his body at a rather fast pace. He had his remaining qi return to his Dantian region from his meridian system. During the process, his qi grew stronger nonstop and began accumulating.
He had only rested for a moment before he heard the sound of robes fluttering outside.
His eyes flew open, and he looked at the entrance of the chamber with a solemn look.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone moved in and landed on the ground. His face was full of anxiety.
“They’re here!”
The two simple words made the hearts of Happy and the trio, who was engaged in a fierce battle, to sink at the same time.
‘This is bad!’
The people from Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect had indeed come while they were fighting against Dead She-wolf…
“How many?”
“I don’t know.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone shook his head while looking at Happy. His tone was incredibly grave. “They’re still gathering outside, but they should all come here soon!”
At that moment, All-powerful Medicinal Stone cast a glance at the battleground, and his eyes lit up.
Based on Dead She-wolf’s shrill voice and declining state, he could more or less tell that their progress was very quick, and Dead She-wolf should soon be unable to continue fighting.
However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s spirited gaze soon became dejected.
The people from the two sects came with a mighty and aggressive momentum, and they might rush into the chamber at any moment. Then, the five of them might be the ones who would die ahead of Dead She-wolf!
In his anxiety, All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not notice the abnormality of Happy’s arm.
Happy rose up with a whoosh and cast a glance at the battleground with a solemn look. He brought out a porcelain bottle from his Universe Bag, poured out a medicinal pill and a Dew Pill, and put it into his mouth.
Once the two medicinal pills entered his stomach, a clear wave of heat nourished the true qi in his Dantian region, which was not very full at the moment. His true qi swiftly swelled up. His fatigue faded away, and some of his internal injuries also healed.
“I’ll go meet them.”
With his body having returned to its best condition, Happy sucked in a deep breath and strode to the exit of the chamber.
“Huh?!” All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s expression changed, and he moved to quickly block Happy. He glared at him. “Are you throwing your life away?! Are you seriously going to go out and die?!”
“I’m not that depressed yet. I’m just going out to kill a few people and take a few heads.” Happy stopped and raised his black right arm, which was filled with strength and showed very flexible curves. An amused glint shone in his eyes. “With it, I won’t have any problems in killing a few people and stopping the sects in their tracks. If you’re worried, you can follow behind me and hold the fort for me.”
It was only at that moment that All-powerful Medicinal Stone noticed Happy’s ridiculously black right arm. He sucked in a sharp breath. “Demon vessel?”
“You’ve got a good eye.”
Happy stretched out the arm and told All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s its attributes. All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s face became even more solemn. He finally understood what Happy meant.
With twenty additional points in Affinity and Arm Strength, the arm was equivalent to a very weirdly-shaped heavy weapon. If he used it with Stormy Shadowless Kick’s speedy attacks, Happy would indeed be a very domineering force!
All-powerful Medicinal Stone thought deeply for a moment and cast a glance at the entrance before he looked at Happy. Then, he gripped the longsword in his hands tightly.
