Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 563
Chapter 563: Order from Sky Demon Sect
Before Happy walked out of the dust, he had taken two Dew Pills, and together with Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill, he replenished the qi he had used up by executing Dragon Fights in the Wild.
He did not bother to acknowledge the questions from the evil cult elder.
The man was already heavily injured, and Happy did not want to waste time or allow the evil cult elder to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.
“Go and ask the king of hell that question in a bit.”
Happy cast a glance at Little North, who nodded.
Happy said nothing. He clenched his fists lightly, and a momentum that was far stronger than what he presented before instantly rose from his body.
Straight left!
A wave of true qi surging in him instantly made his blood boil.
Right hook!
Boom!
Happy sensed that his Dantian region was about to explode!
Uppercut! Hammer fist!
The power that swiftly accumulated and swelled up was like a volcano that had never erupted even though it had been accumulating strength for countless years. With a clear, wild, and domineering dragon roar, the weather changed, and a large golden dragon that had been dipped in magma shot out from Happy’s palm.
The golden dragon’s head was dozens of feet in diameter. It dragged behind it a huge body that was also golden in color, and with a dragon roar as well as momentum that could destroy everything, it crashed violently into the enemy.
The evil cult elder’s expression changed drastically!
He had suffered Happy’s Dragon Fights in the Wild in the dust-filled area and sustained rather serious injuries. He did not seem to be recovering from them even after he took a medicinal pill. So right then, when he saw the large golden dragon, he knew that it was even more dangerous than the attack Happy executed previously.
Warning bells rang madly in the evil cult elder’s head, and he instinctively knew that he could not fight against the attack head-on. If he withstood it, even if he did not die, he would be half-dead. Without another word, he turned around to retreat into the house behind him.
But at that moment…
Bang! Bang!
Four sturdy corpse arms surrounded by poison fog shot out from the ground around his feet. Two were to his left, and two were to his right. All of them then abruptly seized his legs.
The evil cult elder had focused his attention on Happy and the large golden dragon, so there was no way he could detect the abnormality by his feet. He was ambushed, and when he lowered his head to look, his soul left him in fear.
When he looked up again, he could only watch helplessly as the large golden dragon shot through his body with a dragon roar that struck fear in people’s hearts—Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets!
His body shuddered.
He could not even fight back…
The evil cult elder’s body fortification had been torn apart a long time ago in the dust-filled area, and his qi had dropped by a lot. Happy did not even need to see what happened to him when he was struck by Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets while he was in that condition.
He sat down cross-legged and watched as the two zombie puppets slowly released the evil cult elder. The man fell to his knees before he fell face flat on the floor without any signs of life left.
The system notification arrived.
“Ding!
“Killed an evil cult elder, obtained one point! As of current, you have eight points!”
Happy exhaled slowly before he looked away. There was a hint of exhaustion in his clear eyes. Executing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm repeatedly was much more tiring compared to fighting against Master Kong Xiang.
Fortunately, he managed to kill the evil cult elder, or else, he really would not have had any other way of holding the man back after executing Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets. The stronger an NPC was, the more likely it was that they would run when they could not win a fight, and chasing after them was a very exhausting task.
While Happy was quietly feeling fortunate for killing the first evil cult elder, the other battlefields had yet to end their fights.
Lin Xiao and Red Dust might have Thunderous Battle and the others helping them, but they came to a gradual realization that with their abilities, it was nigh impossible for them to kill an evil cult elder.
Their attacks dealt very limited damage, and it was basically the same as someone in Mystical Realm attacking a Stone King in Moksha Realm. Without an hour or more, it was basically impossible for them to kill the elder.
The situation was quite similar in all battlefields.
Only One Emperor’s side was in a slightly better condition.
Even though he was alone, there were already a few terrifying wounds on the evil cult elder’s body. By the looks of it, his body fortification had already been torn, and the fight would end with just a few more slashes.
‘Wait…’
When Happy saw that, he suddenly frowned.
Once he observed the battle carefully, he scowled again.
One Emperor’s actions had clearly slowed down, and even though the evil cult elder was injured, he had the advantage. He suppressed One Emperor and chased after him. It had been a long time since One Emperor attacked, and he was purely defending and evading the attacks.
Silver Wolf, who had been paying attention to One Emperor’s side as well also noticed it. He frowned and said, “His condition isn’t too good… He should have run out of qi.”
“Yeah.” Happy nodded quietly.
One Emperor’s sword technique was a destructive attack that increased damage and attack speed, but it also drained a lot of qi. It was like that the stronger moves used up even more of his qi, which made the burden on the user incredibly great.
Even if One Emperor had Dew Pills, he would need some time before he could recover.
“That successor of Six Pulses Divine Sword seems to be very smug.” Silver Wolf redirected his gaze and cast a glance at Vast Heaven, who was on the other side. “He’s attacking while taking medicinal pills. By the looks of it, he’ll be the one who’ll kill the second evil cult elder, and if he gets one more point, he’ll have five points.”
“Him?”
Happy did not give any remarks toward what Silver Wolf said. He just smiled faintly. “The amount of qi required to use Six Pulses Divine Sword is indeed not as great as One Emperor’s sword technique, but its damage is not as great. He might seem to be doing great with all the damage he dealt to the evil cult elder, but in truth, he might not be able to kill him. This quest isn’t that easy.”
Silver Wolf fell silent when he heard that. He nodded quietly, and when he looked at Happy, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
In truth, he had also noticed that if the evil cult elders wanted to leave, with the players’ strength, it was impossible for them to catch up. Happy had been able to notice that and many other things during the battle, which was not something that any normal person could do.
At that moment, Little North had already found a Universe Bag on the evil cult elder’s corpse, and he shot over to them with incredible enthusiasm. “No matter how small the rewards are, they’re still rewards. We can’t waste them.”
As he spoke, he arrived in front of the duo and opened the Universe Bag in front of him to dig out the items.
Mu Clan was already a clan with a lot of resources, so normal equipment and gold could no longer attract their attention. What interested them were only martial art manuals and special items.
The results did not disappoint them.
There was a Moksha Realm hand-written copy of Ice Blue Flame Art inside.
“Haha! Not bad, it’s an ice palm technique.”
“Silver Wolf, take it.” Happy made the decision and handed it to Silver Wolf.
He knew that Ice Blue Flame Force was a supreme-grade martial art when he saw the evil cult elder execute it. The value of a supreme-grade martial art in Moksha Realm could be easily imagined, so Happy wanted it to be used by someone who could bring out its effects to the fullest.
Only Silver Wolf would not let this martial art sink into obscurity.
“Alright.”
Silver Wolf did not try to reject it out of politeness. He put away the martial art manual and did not look at the other things Little North brought out.
“My goodness! As expected of an Inaction Realm martial artist, he has so much good stuff!” Little North brought out a few bottles with strange colors, and his face filled with joy.
Happy knew with one glance that they were poison, and their poisonous properties were not low.
“Boss, let me have these bottles, please!”
Little North was worried that there would be someone who would snatch those bottles from him, so he pushed the other items over to Happy while he hugged the bottles to his chest.
Happy did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Deal! Since you contributed to the fight, you’ll have part of the loot too.”
When he finished speaking, he could only take out the last few items by himself. Soon though, his expression changed, and he raised a simple plate from among the items. There were three words carved in flourish on it—Sky Demon Order!
