Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 384
Chapter 384: Madness!
The battle at Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters went on in a very horrifying manner!
Half an hour after Class One Hall invaded Beautiful Robes Faction, the higher ups of Beautiful Robes Faction did not manage to block Class One Hall’s vicious attacks, even though they had Dew Pills. They died one after another and steadily lost ground.
However, during the last half an hour, Class One Hall also lost at least five hundred people. They had nearly half their men dead, which meant that they were unable to destroy Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters with the force of a tidal wave in one go.
A never-ending stream of Beautiful Robes Faction members took the places of their fallen comrades from the back or the area around the headquarters.
The battle descended into an even more nerve wracking state!
Quite a number of Beautiful Robes Faction higher ups even rushed over from Guanlin Temple regardless of the cost and jumped into the fray again without saying a word. Thousands of people used their lives to close the gap of strength between the two sides. They tried to whittle down what remained of Class One Hall’s lives with their lives and blood.
The people watching the fight were stunned.
They stared at the young Beautiful Robes Faction members who charged at Class One Hall’s camp like a never-ending wave and the people from Class One Hall who stood unmoving in the headquarters as if they were nails that had been hammered into the wood
The people watching the fight were deeply shocked.
If Beautiful Robes Faction’s persistence and fervor affected them, then Class One Hall’s strength was also displayed in its full might. They only used less than one-tenth of their strength, and they managed to force a huge faction into such a perilous situation! Class One Hall’s strength caused everyone to feel deeply wary and respectful.
Blood Robes stepped on Tea Words and the others’ corpses to walk deeper from the middle of a group of Class One Hall members. With two palm strikes on the air, he attacked two rather outstanding elites of Beautiful Robes Faction who were forcefully withstanding an encirclement by a few Class One Hall elites.
When they noticed the powerful gust of wind from the air, they felt as if they had been rammed into by a train. Their body fortifications shattered, and they were thrown into the air before they crashed into people behind them. They were killed by the shockwave while they were in the air.
That action instantly made Beautiful Robes Faction wary of the man.
Blood Robes ignored Beautiful Robes Faction’s astonished and stunned gazes. He smiled coldly and arrived in front of the headquarters with an arrogant look on his face. When he looked around, his gaze landed on a rather eye-catching figure.
Silver Wolf!
When he noticed Blood Robes looking at him, Silver Wolf became wary. He swiftly dragged a Class One Hall member over to block himself, but a feeling as if his strength was being drained swiftly rushed through his body, and the power of the long-distance palm strike Blood Robes had executed far exceeded his imagination. Despite it crashing into the Class One Hall member’s chest with an astonishing speed, it still rammed violently against Silver Wolf’s body.
Both people coughed up blood and were thrown into the air at the same time.
Xu Yao looked down from high above and fired an arrow at Blood Robes, but he noticed it when it was halfway through its course toward him. With an Air Slicing Palm Strike, he resolutely cut the arrow apart.
This scene made the expressions of people from Beautiful Robes Faction to change drastically.
They did not expect that even Silver Wolf would not be Blood Robes’ opponent. By the looks of it, the disparity in strength was incredibly great!
Star Sucking Great Skill allowed Blood Robes to reach a new degree and height.
He did not stop moving and headed to the foundation in the headquarters with steady and firm footsteps.
Some time earlier, an important Class One Hall branch had been destroyed by Happy’s hands. Now, he would use Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters to repay Happy.
Even though he really wanted to continue dragging out the fight so that more Beautiful Robes Faction members would die at least once, the casualties Class One Hall suffered were also not light.
They had more than six hundred people dead.
If he continued dragging out the fight, even if he managed to completely destroy Beautiful Robes Faction, Class One Hall could only be considered to have won after paying a great price. After all, Beautiful Robes Faction still had thousands of people, most of whom had nearly descended into madness. To prevent any accidents from happening, Blood Robes cautiously chose to first destroy the foundation and Beautiful Robes Faction before he thought of anything else.
*****
In an area hundreds of miles away was a spot outside Vast Martial City.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone stared at Happy with a worried look as Happy rushed forward hastily. There was no need for him to look at him to know that Happy had a cold expression and was filled with anger, but no outlet. He was currently a bomb on the verge of exploding.
He had received some news from Thunderous Battle about Beautiful Robes Faction’s situation right then.
Many of the higher ups were people with whom Happy had a good relationship. Yet under Class One Hall’s full suppression, not a single one of them survived, and that included Faction Master Phoenix Dances. She had also sacrificed herself.
Beautiful Robes Faction’s destruction could no longer be avoided.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not believe that Class One Hall would choose to completely turn against Happy.
With Happy’s strength, if he chose to fly into a crazed rage, the threat he posed to Class One Hall could not be imagined. He might not be able to completely destroy Class One Hall, but he could make its branches descend into a constant state of nervousness. They would have to always be ready for war, which would cripple them. And that was something that Happy could easily do.
Did Class One Hall have some other chip that could make them balance the fight between them and Happy?
Based on All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s understanding toward Class One Hall’s operations, Dream Clouds had to have a foolproof plan, or else she would not ignore the threat that Happy posed if he decided to engage them in a life-and-death struggle.
What was the reason then?
Just what sort of thing was Class One Hall relying on?
While All-powerful Medicinal Stone frowned and pondered over it, a messenger pigeon flew over and arrived before them.
Happy’s expression was incredibly dark. He grabbed it without hesitation and spread out the letter to quickly cast a glance at it before changing his direction and urging his horse to go faster. He sped forward at full speed while the paper was torn and its pieces flew away with the wind.
*****
They had been running at full speed for some time before another messenger pigeon arrived. All-powerful Medicinal Stone finally could no longer stand the sense of puzzlement. “Happy! Where are we going? The nearest Class One Hall branch isn’t in that direction.”
Happy’s face was as cold as ice, and with a cold tone, he said only two words, “Barren Murderer!”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone felt his heart tremble!
Barren Murderer was one of the vice hall masters of Class One Hall and one of the three monsters of the organization. Right then, he was ranked at the fifth place on the Dragon Rank.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
He could now tell that Class One Hall had absolutely angered Happy.
Perhaps destroying one branch would not cause Class One Hall to suffer many losses and they would not have any problems in their progress, but Barren Murderer was one of the vice hall masters of Class One Hall and one of the faces of Class One Hall. If he died in Happy’s hands, it would be the same as tearing off one of Dream Clouds’ arms!
Happy wanted to use the most direct and ruthless way to take revenge on Class One Hall for Beautiful Robes Faction!
However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone could not help but be worried.
Barren Murderer was, no matter what, the fifth person on the Dragon Rank, and his strength was unfathomable. It was rumored that he was about to enter Life and Death Realm, and his equipment was not that much inferior to that of Happy.
Even if he was still weaker, he should have no problem in protecting himself or fleeing. Besides, Barren Murderer still had plenty of elites around him…
However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone knew that Happy was in a fit of anger right then, and no matter what he said, Happy would probably not listen to him. So All-powerful Medicinal Stone could only follow behind him and prepare himself for a fight.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not make a wrong guess. Happy was indeed filled with anger, and he had an urge to rip apart Class One Hall regardless of the cost.
He also knew Barren Murderer’s strength!
But that could no longer stop him from killing him!
In his previous life, Class One Hall destroyed him, and in this life, it destroyed Beautiful Robes Faction.
What caused him even more agony was that the person who led the attack was coincidentally the person he had hated the most in his previous life—Blood Robes!
He was the successor of Star Sucking Great Skill, the Star King of the three kings!
