Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 292
Chapter 292: As in, H-A-P-P-Y
In truth, when the people from the four sects rushed out of the royal mausoleum and saw the dense group of players around them, they were slightly afraid. However, the lineup of archers group from Soaring Tiger Sect had been thrown into disorder. Their firepower was completely concentrated on One Circle, who had been dubbed Demonic Cannon because of his shocking defenses.
When the players sensed the heroic air and morale of One Circle and Happy, they became filled with fighting spirit and forgot about surviving. They rushed out to kill the Soaring Tiger Sect members who were right in front of them.
Since they were elites, their individual power was not something normal players could compare to.
When they saw that a group of Mystical Realm players had decided to serve as vanguards, the members of Soaring Tiger Sect in the area were instantly shocked.
It was very different from what they had expected! They had come to ambush the sects inside, but right then, they looked as if they had been the ones ambushed.
They had to face the thirteen staff-using monks who attacked them furiously, and once they arrow shower was blocked, the morale among the Soaring Tiger Sect members fell to the point that they retreated.
“Stop!” A loud voice shook the bamboo forest as it resounded through the area. “This is a misunderstanding! I am Soaring Tiger Sect’s master. My comrades from the seven system-allocated sects, please stop!”
“Our target for gathering in this place is just one person. We did not come here to be your enemies! Please allow us to preserve some dignity…”
His words were slightly effective.
When Soaring Tiger Sect stopped attacking, the people from the four sects also gradually lowered their weapons. They had already left one hundred corpses behind them.
‘Let’s see what he wants to say…’ quite a number of people thought.
Soaring Tiger Sect’s master looked at the corpses that lay strewn on the ground, and his heart clenched in pain. He sucked in a deep breath, then cast a dark glance at the unfamiliar faces of the elites who remained safe while they withdrew from the crowd.
He wrapped his fist in his palm while he cried out loudly, “Some time ago, we had more than one hundred and eighty brothers who went to clear the royal mausoleum, but in the end, a despicable scum deliberately set us up, and all of our people died because of Ninja King’s clone. I believe that all of you are witnesses…”
The crowd did not say anything.
The thirteen staff-using monks, Ouyang Qing and his group, as well as the people from Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction instantly wore disapproving expressions when they heard his words. They had vaguely understood the meaning behind Soaring Tiger Sect master’s words.
When he saw that the situation was not right, the sect master gave up on fighting against the four sects and chose to escape from the disaster while also getting rid of Happy, huh?
On the other side, Little North and Thunderous North had already retreated from the crowd and gathered next to Happy.
When they heard Soaring Tiger Sect’s words, they could not help but laugh.
“Who would actually have the ability to do so?”
Thunderous Battle said nothing for a while. He cast Happy a glance and smiled at Little North. “Who else can it be? Do you think there is someone else who can do that?”
“No way.”
Little North turned his head around and looked at Happy’s face.
Happy smiled faintly. He did not answer, but his gaze when he looked at the source of the voice became colder and more scornful.
‘They’re letting go of the big fish to capture the small fish, huh. Soaring Tiger Sect master’s tactic is good, but unfortunately…’
Soaring Tiger Sect master’s voice spoke again. “My friends from the four sects, you can leave without worry!”
He paused for a moment, then the bald sect master walked out of the crowd. His face was filled with killing intent, and his cold gaze landed on Happy. “But this one has to die.”
“What a load of bull!”
One Circle glared at him and lifted his greataxe. He was prepared to hit the bald sect master.
The people from the four sects quickly showed their stance on the matter too.
“Ridiculous! You want to let us leave?”
“Hmph!”
“I wonder who’s letting go of who now?”
“Boss Happy. With just one sentence from you, we can help you destroy everyone here!” There might not be many people left in Wudang Sect, but they were very fond of Happy, and they admired him a lot as well.
Ouyang Qing even used his qi to mock the bald sect master.
“Soaring Tiger Sect’s master, your words are rather ridiculous. You were the one who wanted to kill the people from the six sects. Now that you see that the situation is not right, you intend to retreat? And you want to fight against one person with so many people? I, Ouyang Qing, cannot watch this!”
“That’s right! We of the thirteen staff-using monks also want to experience just how strong Soaring Tiger Sect is!”
“We of Emei Sect will fight together with all of you!”
The people from Soaring Tiger Sect said nothing, but their expressions changed.
The expression of Soaring Tiger Sect’s master became even more unpleasant. He did not think that things would progress like that.
However, since he had already said those words, he could only grit his teeth and carry on!
His gaze turned cold, and his words became dark. “If that’s the case, you’ve already made your decision to fight with this person and act against Soaring Tiger Sect, huh?!”
Before he finished speaking, the people from Soaring Tiger Sect rallied their forces again. They lifted their weapons while filled with killing intent. Their numbers still gave Soaring Tiger Sect a certain advantage. They could also deliver psychological pressure.
“Thank you, my fellow companions.”
At that moment, Happy walked to the empty center, wrapped his fist in his palm, and saluted the people around him. When he spoke, his words reached the ears of everyone in the area.
“Since Soaring Tiger Sect has decided to cause trouble for me, I will not have you take such a risk with me. I will tell you that I can still handle this fight. My companions, I have received your kindness! If there is a chance in the future, I will certainly invite all of you to a drink! But now…” He paused for a moment before his tone changed. “Please take a step back for the time being and give me some space. Weapons have no eyes, and I don’t want to hurt any of you.”
“Alright!”
When Soaring Tiger Sect’s master heard Happy’s brave words, he did not give him any chance to change his mind.
“You’re a straightforward person! My friends, you heard him! It is now time for Soaring Tiger Sect to fight against him alone, so please, those who are not involved in this matter, do take a step back.” As he spoke, he swept his gaze over Little North and Thunderous Battle.
He was very wary of those two people!
If he had to fight against the three at the same time, he might suffer a great loss.
“What are you looking at?!”
Little North widened his eyes, and he decided to be frank with his words when confronting the sect master.
“What’s wrong, you managed to force the others away, and you’re thinking about making both of us leave too? I say, don’t you think that you’re too shameless for a sect master?! You’re actually thinking about having hundreds of people fight against one person?! What would your dad say if he saw this?! He’d be really disappointed in you!”
“Hmph!”
When he noticed that the four sects had cast him scornful and mocking looks, the expression of Soaring Tiger Sect’s master turned very sour.
Right when he was about to give the order to attack, Happy spoke in an airy voice, and his clearly articulated words shocked all the people.
“Little North, Big Brother Thunder, please take a step back as well.”
Soaring Tiger Sect’s master was stunned speechless.
Before he could put on a delighted face, he heard the powerful swordsman ask Happy in a very calm tone, “Are you really intending to fight alone? It’s pretty tiring…”
He did not have a single hint of worry in his voice. Little North also had a slightly disappointed look on his face, which was like an invisible shadow that instantly gripped the sect master’s heart.
‘What’s going on?!’
They had hundreds of people surrounding a few people, so no matter how he looked at it , it was a guaranteed death for the other party, but their words and demeanor showed no signs that the person with the golden light was about to die.
He sucked in a sharp breath, but he still retained his composure. Soaring Tiger Sect’s master placed his fist in his hand in slight unease and said grimly, “Alright! Your courage is indeed admirable. Regardless of what the result of this battle is, once it is over, we will definitely not come and cause trouble to you again! Please tell us your name!”
“Happy!”
Once he said those two syllables calmly, the area fell silent. The bamboo forest rustled, and a faint breeze caused the blue hero’s bandana around Happy’s head to flutter.
“As in, H-A-P-P-Y.”
The moment he said that, the hundreds of Soaring Tiger Sect members who had been restless and raring to go instantly sank into a gloomy silence!
