Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 474
Chapter 474: A Divine Weapon in Each Hand!
Zhou Yu lost in three slashes against One Emperor!
Happy was slightly stunned by this news. Zhou Yu was already pretty good. He was ranked second on Dragon Rank. His equipment, power, and his ability to listen to the wind to determine location during their fight in Eternal Peace Temple had already reached the requirement of a top-class player!
Happy knew that it was impossible for him to kill Zhou Yu in three moves. But One Emperor would definitely regard making a joke of this sort of thing in disdain.
Happy did not say anything. He stared in the direction in which One Emperor disappeared, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Zhou Yu’s ability was already very good. In Happy’s previous life, Zhou Yu could definitely be ranked among the three kings. In fact, he might even surpass the two empresses.
And yet, this sort of person had been unable to receive three slashes from One Emperor.
This was enough to show just how great One Emperor’s strength was!
Half a year. This was the time One Emperor gave him.
Perhaps in One Emperor’s eyes, even though Happy also had sword will, it was still a far cry from One Emperor’s own. He was at the same level as Zhou Yu, which was why he gave him half a year’s time to obtain Book of Wumu and Nine Yin Manual to fight against him.
‘One Emperor, what a man. Besides him, who else will just hand over a quest that will give away two ultimate techniques? Is there anyone else in the world that is more arrogant and solitary than him?’
One Emperor’s departure made Happy’s heart boil in excitement, and his fighting spirit burned! He also became determined to absolutely finish the quest and help Zhou Zhiruo obtain Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
He had to obtain Book of Wumu and Nine Yin Manual!
With this thought in mind, Happy returned to the cave with a heavy heart.
Whoosh!
A person shot out of the cave and past Happy. That person was not slow.
But Happy’s reaction was very fast. He saw that the person held Emei Sect’s Heavenly Sword in one hand, and in the other was Xie Xun’s Dragon Saber, which had never left his hand.
“Stay where you are!”
Happy almost instinctively focused and positioned his hands into the shape of claws—Double Dragon Capture!
Once he reached Life and Death Realm, Moksha Realm fighters could no longer break free of the suction force from Dragon Capture when Happy executed Ten True Dragon Styles, unless they used another ultimate technique to fight against him.
It was no one else but Zhao Min who stole Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber! She wanted to take the two ultimate divine weapons back to Ruyang Mansion!
Zhao Min was just in Moksha Realm, and she was weak. There was no way she would be Happy’s opponent.
“Ah!”
With a cry of surprise, Zhao Min was captured. Happy did not dare to be further entangled with her. While she lost her power to fight against him, he quickly seized Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber before sending Zhao Min flying.
“Dragon Saber has never left Senior Xie Xun’s hands, and Heavenly Sword is the treasure that protects Emei Sect, so there is no way that Miss Zhou would hand it over to you. Tell me! What have you done to Senior Xie and Miss Zhou!”
Zhao Min never thought that her hasty action would cause her to run into Happy!
When she saw Happy hold Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber in his hands, Zhao Min did not panic. Instead, she laughed and wiped off the blood at the corners of her mouth. “Young Swordsman, if you’re so worried about Miss Zhou, why don’t you personally go and see what is going on?”
“Forget it!” Happy did not dare to be careless when he faced Zhao Min. “Miss Zhao, you have strange thoughts,” he said faintly. “I believe that we should stay here and wait for Cult Master Zhang to arrive so that he can uphold justice for us.”
Once he finished speaking, he let out a long cry into the air full of qi. It tore through the sky and echoed above Spirit Snake Island.
Happy knew that the people in the cave were most probably unconscious because of some kind of drug, but Zhang Wuji should not be among them. If he entered recklessly, Zhao Min might cook up some sort of scheme.
“Hmph.” Since Zhao Min’s plot failed, she came up with another one.
She suddenly shot up to head swiftly toward the cave, but Happy noticed that.
‘What scheme does she want to cook up now?’
Dragon Capture!
Happy used a Dragon Capture to seize Zhao Min without hesitation. But Zhao Min was one step ahead. She moved quickly into the air and avoided it horizontally.
“Huh?”
Happy scowled. With the thought that he absolutely could not let her do as she pleased, he quickly delivered a palm strike through the air. Zhao Min grunted and flew into the cave. He followed quickly after her.
Zhao Min’s body landed limply in the cave, and she fainted.
A faint but strange fragrance filled his nostrils.
‘This is bad!’
Happy was stunned. He quickly held his breath and circulated his qi to observe the condition of his body.
Fortunately, Zhao Min did not use Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder, which was an insanely powerful poison. Even though he sniffed a little of it, he did not feel any sort of discomfort. His qi was still full, and it did not show any signs of weakening or not circulating.
However, Zhao Min was a cunning fox. There was no way the two palm strikes could have injured her badly just now, but she pretended to have fallen unconscious. In an instant, an ominous feeling swiftly filled Happy’s heart.
He turned around to look.
He saw Xie Xun, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xiao Zhao, who were unconscious on the ground. They actually showed signs that they were beginning to slowly regain their consciousness under the strange fragrance!
Xie Xun had powerful qi. He immediately woke up once the effects of the drug were reduced.
When he opened his eyes, he sat up quickly!
He groped the area around him, since there was nothing in his hands, but he did not find Dragon Saber, which had accompanied him for years. Instantly, an awe-inspiring aura that caused people to be fearful rose from him.
“Where is my saber?! Where is it?! Who stole my Dragon Saber?! You thief!”
As he spoke, he seemed to have recovered his hearing. An astonishing palm wind swept toward Happy, who was the only one he sensed who retained the aura of a martial artist in the area.
Fortunately, once Xie Xun was deprived of Dragon Saber and only had his palms, Happy could handle him.
He used Petite Dragon to avoid the palm wind.
Bang!
A huge pit was created on the stone wall, and the cave shuddered violently.
“Senior Xie, please calm down, it’s me, Happy!” Happy quickly said, but he did not dare return Xie Xun his Dragon Saber immediately. Who knew whether he would even be able to pacify the Golden Haired Lion King if he handed over Dragon Saber while he was at the verge of going on a rampage.
“It’s you! Why did you poison me and steal my Dragon Saber?!”
When Happy dodged his attacks, Xie Xun managed to hear the sound of Dragon Saber swinging in the air. The angry look on his old face made him look even more savage.
“Very well! So you followed that girl Zhou Zhiruo to get close to me for my Dragon Saber! Today, I, Xie Xun, will crush your ambitions!
“AAAHHH!!”
Xie Xun clenched his fists tightly with a roar, and right in front of Happy, he executed Seven Wounds Fist without another word.
A fierce, chaotic, and domineering force swiftly gathered in his palms, and as astonishing feeling of death instantly developed Happy’s entire body!
‘Damn it!’ Happy’s expression changed drastically.
As expected, Xie Xun, the blind Lion King, was unreasonable, and he was incredibly short-tempered. It was fortunate that Happy did not hand over Dragon Saber, or else he might not just be dealing with Seven Wounds Fist, but Xie Xun and his Dragon Saber!
“Senior Xie, listen to me, I will naturally return the saber to you…”
As he spoke, a palm wind that froze the air in the cave came charging at him.
It was as quick as lightning!
Xie Xun’s Seven Wounds Fist was different from the Seven Wounds Fist from the Five Elders of Kongtong Sect. There was no way Happy would dare to receive it.
He moved, and his Petite Dragon served its purpose again.
Bang!
After receiving two of Xie Xun’s palm strikes, the cave was finally unable to anymore damage. Stones continuously fell down.
“This is bad!” Happy’s expression changed. He quickly grabbed Zhou Zhiruo, who was the closest to him, and shot out of the cave. “Senior Xie, the cave is about to collapse! We have to save the people first!”
Xie Xun might have been angry, but he was not suffering from dementia. When he noticed two other faint presences in the cave, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly swept up Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao to rush out of the cave.
When he was outside the cave after he saved Zhou Zhiruo, Happy heard a familiar and gentle voice in his ears.
“Young Swordsman Happy, take Heavenly Sword as well as Dragon Saber and leave!”
Zhou Zhiruo had woken up.
The sound of the system notification also rang in Happy’s ear at the same time.
