Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 381
Chapter 381: Emperor Shocks World!
The moment dust fell, there was not a single person where Happy stood. The ground where he had stood before was stuck full of all kinds of hidden weapons. They were fixed in a circular area of sixty-five feet while shining with a poisonous glint. The bolts that could pierce defenses and fine, venomous needles brought fear to all who saw them.
However, the formation of Tang Sect disciples was completely scattered when Happy charged into their midst while dust was still in the air. There were more than forty of them, and their bodies were full of all sorts of sinister hidden weapons. The people who did not die by sheer luck looked at the devastation on the ground, and their faces were so pale that they were bloodless.
When they remembered what had happened before, they felt as if they had gone through an unprecedented nightmare!
The sword force with an unparalleled and breathtaking light had killed their leader, Tang Feng, with just one strike. The formidable player who was ranked seventh on the Dragon Rank had actually been struck down within an instant.
While the group was dazed and filled with shock and fear, Happy rushed forward like a phantom from the roaring dust.
Tang Feng’s death upset the Tang Sect disciples, and they brought out all the various hidden weapons they were skilled with and threw them.
Happy attacked in a frenzy, and dazzling sword light moved about freely.
A few seconds later, a tragedy was gradually revealed.
Not many of the hidden weapons from the Tang Sect disciples managed to hit Happy. Most of them landed on their comrades across from them, and they looked as if they had been turned into a mesh.
While the Tang Sect disciples were terrified and gave up on attacking, Happy easily killed them.
Not a single one among the dozens of people was left alive.
Happy drew his Clear Abyss from the last person and looked around coldly. The sound of something falling from high above rose continuously from beyond the walls. Quite a number of people left Class One Hall’s branch guiltily. Most of them were people from sects who had participated in the attack to encircle and kill Happy outside the city.
And they were not in a safe zone, but a place where they could kill at will!
When they saw Happy looking at them indifferently and mercilessly like a demon, how could they not feel fear in their hearts?

Boom!
With no one bothering him, All-powerful Medicinal Stone quickly completed his task of destroying the black stone plate. A loud and clear bang rose, and the foundation shattered.
“Destroyed one Class One Hall branch! Received two hundred thousand taels of silver, which Class One Hall had used to set up their branch, along with seven hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver from the branch storage, as well as various resources.”
At the moment All-powerful Medicinal Stone completely destroyed the branch foundation, he suddenly heard the system rattling off a series of numbers, and he was instantly stunned. He remained dumbfounded for a long time.
When he registered the situation, he quickly shot to Happy’s side and asked him about what was going on.
“This is very normal. The people from Class One Hall didn’t expect that we could destroy their foundation, and the higher-ups aren’t around as well, so it’s impossible for them to have moved the items in the branch storage away. We got lucky.”
“You should be the one holding these things. Beautiful Robes Faction is in trouble now, and they’ll definitely need resources and money…”
After saying that, All-powerful Medicinal Stone requested a trade.
Happy rejected it without even thinking. He then said to All-powerful Medicinal Stone calmly, “We’ll see how things go first. If Beautiful Robes Faction is really destroyed, we have the next stop to go to, unless you intend to withdraw from this. If Beautiful Robes Faction is fine, keep it, this small amount of items isn’t enough for me to regard them of any value ”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone instantly stopped persisting in it.
“Now, I’m beginning to wish that Beautiful Robes Faction will be destroyed…” When he noticed Happy’s gaze, he quickly explained himself. “What I’m saying is that I quite like this feeling. We can slap Class One Hall’s face, you know. Ahhhh, it feels so good!”
Happy really had nothing to say to that.
So, he bent down and began searching for loot in the Tang Sect disciples and Class One Hall members’ corpses.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone soon caught up to him.
“By the way, Happy, what’s going on with you? I feel as if I’ve been deceived.”
“Deceived?”
“Didn’t you die so your abilities were largely compromised? I don’t think that your abilities have been impaired at all. I even think that you have become even more powerful.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone sized up Happy with a very strange gaze.
Happy nodded. “This matter is very complicated, but your guess probably isn’t too far off…”
Even though he did not provide a clear explanation, it was already enough to satisfy All-powerful Medicinal Stone.
“I knew it.” His face filled with surprise and delight. “You sure are sinister, kid. You actually managed to trick Class One Hall and make them lose one branch out of the blue… and so many other things as well.”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone had not just received hundreds of thousands taels of silver from the branch storage but a batch of masterpieces and herbs. Their value was nearly one million.
Happy did not answer again. Instead, he stopped and looked at the distant horizon with a profound gaze.
‘If I had the choice, I wouldn’t want to understand Old Swordsman’s secret technique.’
He did not say that sentence, because Happy himself had not completely sorted out his thoughts regarding the matter, and he had also not completely woken up from the shock of his death.
Old Swordsman’s breathtaking and unparalleled slash was unheard of in his previous life. It had never appeared in the game!
When Happy died in the royal mausoleum, he could sense that Old Swordsman’s slash had surpassed the peak of Old Swordsman’s qi realm. Upon his death, Happy could clearly see the details of Old Swordsman’s secret technique. It was also at that moment that he received the inheritance.
However, he had never heard of anyone needing to pay with their lives to understand a secret technique!
Happy made a tentative guess that he should have triggered some sort of hidden quest.
It was a pity though that his qi realm was too low and he did not manage to withstand that slash.
Happy felt extremely gloomy since Old Swordsman’s secret technique, Emperor Shocks World, was incredibly sharp. It instantly released two superbly powerful sword forces, one of which could be seen and the other not. It also had the effect of instantly tearing through defenses.
However, learning it had forced him to lose the one and only valuable sacred medicine that could allow him to recover from severe injuries. It had also resulted in Class One Hall going to war against Beautiful Robes Faction, which left it in peril.
It was hard to say whether it had been a lucky or unlucky encounter.
When Happy learned that Class One Hall had decided to attack Beautiful Robes Faction, the only thing that he could do was make Class One Hall’s plan fall through while they were full of high spirits. He could also deal a direct blow to them.
Happy had to tell Class One Hall that he was still as strong as ever.
But it was useless to say it with his mouth. He had to do everything with his fists.
Because of that, Vast Martial City naturally became Happy’s goal.
After that, the matter progressed very smoothly. Tang Feng’s death was enough to explain everything.
The death of the seventh strongest on the Dragon Rank and more than one hundred Mystical Realm players was enough to destroy any shred of hope Class One Hall might have that Happy could survive through sheer luck.
Once that was done, it was time to witness Class One Hall’s reaction.
Happy packed up the loot and walked out of Class One Hall’s dilapidated branch with All-powerful Medicinal Stone by his side. They vanished from countless players’ sights within Vast Martial City.
This time, not a single player from Vast Martial City dared to chase after them. Instead, they busily discussed Happy’s feat of destroying Class One Hall’s branch.
“How is that someone who died once?”
Quite a number of people had that thought.
“Even Tang Feng couldn’t win against him. Now, he has already left Vast Martial City. There must have been some sort of mistake about him dying.”
“You’re right.”
“As far as I can see it, this time, Class One Hall just got themselves a whole load of trouble!”
