Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 558
Chapter 558: Mu Clan’s Strength
The situation of the evil cult’s attack was even more dangerous than what most people expected!
Thousands of disciples from the evil cult had already invaded Hero’s Mountain Villa. The ones with the lowest qi realm were at Moksha Realm, and all of them were not weak. Even the elites like the elders from Beggar’s Sect had a very hard time fighting against two of them alone. Based on this, it could be seen just how great was the strength of the disciples from the evil cult.
The evil cult disciples who were already at Inaction Realm were equivalent to the level of the elites in the righteous path. Even though they were not as strong as the sect leaders, they were not too far away from them. Zhang Wuji fought against three of such evil cult elites, while Yang Xiao and the rest fought against a group of people from the evil cult. Their exit was blocked.
There was not even a need to mention the strength of the people from the eight aristocratic sects. Aside from the old woman from the Nangong Clan who had already reached the level of a sect leader, the others were not very strong.
When the exit was blocked by an increasing number of people from the evil cult, Lu Mingyue, Dream Clouds, and the others became incredibly anxious. The strength of the elites in the area surpassed their expectations. It was the first time they saw so many Moksha Realm and Inaction Realm elites gathered in one place, and no one dared to act recklessly.
Happy’s expression was as calm as water. He quickly caught up to the group from the back. “Wind Chimes, sound attack!”
“Oh, okay!”
Wind Chimes was clearly still affected by the strength of the NPCs, and without receiving any notification from the system, she did not dare to act recklessly. However, with Happy’s words, she finally snapped out of her shock and quickly brought out her six-stringed demonic zither from her huge sword casket. She had seized it from Ruyang Mansion.
Clang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Once Wind Chimes entered Life and Death Realm, her control over her sound killing technique and the damage of her notes had clearly increased. She held her six-stringed demonic zither horizontally with one hand while she plucked the strings with the other. With a unique way of doing that, the ringing and passionate zither notes were like rampaging horses on the battlefield!
With Happy and the others protecting her, Wind Chimes jumped on a rooftop. Her zither notes turned into countless sound blades varying in size, and they cut into the crowd like neverending raindrops.
“AAAAAAAHHHH!”
Demonic notes entered the ears of evil cult disciples who were fighting against Ming Cult elites, and their movements froze. They instantly sank into a very defensive position, and Zhang Wuji seized the chance to heavily injure a few people.
The others also got rid of their respective enemies, and the situation instantly became much better for them!
When Wind Chimes saw that the power of sound was effective against the elites, she did not stop using her sound technique. With a calm gaze, she continued performing glissando on the strings, and with a unique method and qi, she formed circles of invisible ripples on the strings.
Bang, bang, bang!
The evil cult was swiftly attacked by countless sound blades that ignored their defense. A large group of evil cult disciples fell to the ground as if they were wheat. Those in Moksha Realm could not fight back, and even those in Inaction Realm suffered a splitting headache when they faced the never-ending sound blades. It prevented them from getting close.
The lost and confused players who were protected by Ming Cult and the eight aristocratic families were stunned when they saw Happy and his group release such a powerful killing move the moment they caught up.
“Why are you still daydreaming?! If you want to live, fight your way out!”
Happy glared at them coldly and went to ignore the group of great players with complicated expressions on their faces. He charged straight to the front lines where Zhang Wuji and his group were and joined the frontlines to help with breaking out of the encirclement.
“Cult Master Zhang, I didn’t expect that we’d have the chance to fight together!”
“Young Swordsman Happy, you were outstanding among the disciples of the sects this time. We will have many chances in the future to cooperate with each other!”
“I hope your good words will come true.” Happy stopped talking for a while before he changed his tone. “There are quite a number of elites among the evil cult disciples. Why don’t we take care of them and let my friend handle the rest?”
While he spoke, a thought appeared in Zhang Wuji’s mind. He quickly cast a glance at the successor of Demonic Zither, Wind Chimes, who was showing an outstanding performance, and he said, “Your friend does indeed have extraordinary abilities… Alright! I’ll do as you said!”
Right after he finished speaking, Happy increased his momentum and activated his qi realm. The dragon roared, and he charged into the crowd like a dragon swimming in the ocean!
It was very difficult for Moksha Realm NPCs to break Happy’s defenses. With Zhang Wuji guarding him from the side and Wind Chimes providing assistance from above, Happy did not need to worry about his own safety. The dragon-shaped vortex swiftly grew in size and power on his arm, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the damage of Inaction Realm.
Once Happy was no longer wary of Beggar’s Sect, he could let loose and fight with his full strength!
He punched forward, and dozens of Moksha Realm evil cult disciples felt as if they had been punched in the face by a force worth at least one thousand pounds. They were thrown off their feet and sent flying while coughing up blood.
For a period of time, people fell left and right on the wide street!
“How satisfying!”
Zhang Wuji had Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Heaven and Earth Great Shift with him, but when it came to group battles, it was clear that he could not fight as heartily and easily as Happy with Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. When he saw Happy charging forward ahead of him like a one-man army, a heroic spirit also burned in him. He laughed boisterously and chased after Happyto take care of the mooks left behind.
The duo took care of the remnants on the street while the Ming Cult elites protected Wind Chimes on the roof so that she could open the path. Their teamwork was perfect, and the group quickly rushed to the gate in the east.
The other elites were envious, yearning to be able to do this some day as well.
However, they could not copy Wind Chimes’ sound attacks or Happy’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. Even Night Rain Follows Wind, who also had Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, had just recently inherited the skill. Not only could he not compare to Happy’s might, his equipment and his understanding toward the profound secrets were also lacking.
As he followed behind them, he felt his emotions surge, and he made the decision to be like that in the future. He also wanted to mow down all resistances in his path.
As for Dream Clouds and the others, when they saw Happy, Wind Chimes, and the others reveal such violent attacks, they felt all sorts of complicated emotions in their heart.
They could not help but think about how Happy had also obtained the title of champion among players in the martial arts tournament and might get a divine weapon that would increase his strength even more. It made them feel all sorts of negative emotions, and their expressions turned incredibly sour.
The next moment…
A loud boom rang out!
It exploded from the house in the street ahead of them.
“Where did you come from?! Get lost!”
As an awe-inspiring shout rose into the air, a built man with skin as tan as bronze shot in front of Happy. His fingers were like steel, and he went to sweep at Happy’s head.
His speed was terrifying, and its might did not lose to that of the sect leaders!
The eyes of Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, and the others lit up.
‘Hmph! Brat, it’s your fault for being conceited! Now you met someone difficult!’
But against their expectations, even when Happy was ambushed, he still remained calm!
When he sensed the astonishing pressure and threat from the person in front of him, his gaze focused, and an incredibly wild as well as terrifying momentum surged out of his body. “OPEN!”
With his shout, a large golden dragon took shape behind him—Dragon Fights in the Wild!
“ROAR!”
The dragon roar was even louder and more terrifying than before. Under countless people’s eyes, Happy straightened his palm and used it as a knife to ram his palm into the ambusher’s fingers with a momentum that did not lose to that of the evil cult elites!
BOOM!
Both parties were sent flying backward by the huge force from their hands. Happy ended up in a better condition, however, since he was caught by Zhang Wuji who used Heaven and Earth Great Shift. It allowed Happy to land safely, while the evil cult elite crashed into a nearby house like a cannonball!
When the players saw that Happy was safe and had managed to even show off his might again, Dream Clouds and her people felt as if they had eaten a dead fly, especially since they had been waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
