Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 589
Chapter 589: Lost Track of the Quest
The pressure on Happy instantly increased by leaps and bounds when he had to face two martial artists alone!
The short and capable man held two sabers in his hands, and he swung them with the force of a violent gust sweeping at leaves. He was fierce and shocking, and so fast that it was terrifying to behold. Quite a number of players who heard the commotion and came from everywhere in Phoenix Sun City rushed to the roofs around the yard, but when they saw the man’s strength, they did not dare to come down.
It was not a fight that players at their qi realm could hope to join!
The thin and tall man had a very fierce kick technique. Wherever he landed, not a single unbroken tile was left. With every jump, a loud boom would sound in the air, and his legs, which were as sturdy as a vajra, would come charging at Happy like a metallic whip!
The duo worked together. The close-distance attacks and mid-range attacks formed an airtight offense. The shattered tiles flew everywhere like hidden weapons, and the situation was so intense that it was suffocating!
Even a person as strong as Happy could do nothing when he faced the two working together and just retreat repeatedly.
Happy might have seemed to be in great danger, but when he saw that the pressure at Shi Feixuan’s side had been reduced and that she could defend the entrance to the house while she suppressed the brute, he instantly became much more at ease and focused his full attention on taking care of the two powerful enemies in front of him.
They fell into a stalemate!
Happy could clearly sense that at that moment, regardless of whether he used Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm or Joined Finger, he could not keep up with the two elites’ violent and frenzied rhythm. While he was forced to withdraw, he could only try his best to avoid their attacks and do his best to ensure his own safety.
It was the first time since Happy entered World of Martial Arts that he encountered such a situation. He was completely suppressed, and there was no way for him to counterattack. Not that he had the courage to do it.
Usually, no matter how strong his opponents were, his Ten True Dragon Styles would give him to some room to counterattack.
But since the two monsters of Phoenix Sun in front of him were people who were very good with their fists and had very fast attack speed, Happy knew very clearly that if he rushed to attack one of them, the other would destroy his offense with a lightning fast attack!
It would already be very impressive of him if he could avoid being injured in this sort of situation.
Whenever Happy was faced with a critical situation, he would use Petite Dragon to avoid the attack and Joined Finger to attack twice.
The trio moved continuously around the yard, and the walls surrounding it were destroyed. There were also barely a handful of unbroken tiles that could be found on the ground.
Boom! Boom, boom!
The players on the roofs around the area found the happenings very interesting.
It was the first time they saw Happy being suppressed in such a manner, and they found it very novel. But Happy remained undefeated even when he faced such crazy and powerful enemies. His defense was impeccable, and he could also occasionally interrupt their offense for a brief moment, which made the onlookers very excited and hooked to the fight.
“He’s so good…”
“When can we become as good as he is?”
“You? Dream on. He’s the strongest in the Chinese server right now, and he’s also the mastermind behind-the-scenes for Mu Clan. He has endless resources as well as endless martial arts available to him. He can buy anything he wants.”
The person who spoke previously was rendered speechless. With just a few cold words, his ambitious dreams were snuffed until not a single spark was left burning.
Two people watched the situation quietly in a corner of another street. They were so calm that it was abnormal.
“Brother Zhou, what do you think? This is also our joint quest. If we let Happy handle this alone, I don’t think it would be very appropriate. It’d be good if Happy died here like you said, but if he doesn’t and completes the quest, won’t he be taking our reward instead?”
“If you want to carry out the quest with him, sure. You can immediately go over.”
The person known as Brother Zhou was, obviously, Zhou Yu of Class One Hall. He did not expect that the world would be so small that he would run into Happy on his quest.
When the other person heard his words, they quickly explained themselves.
“Brother Zhou, you know that’s not what I meant. This is just a quest, and if we give up on it, we’ll suffer no loss. I think that would be a pity. The plot of Twin of Brothers seems to have just started, and we’ve already missed the chance to form a relationship with Shi Feixuan. Won’t the price for giving up be a little too big?”
Zhou Yu sucked in a deep breath before he said coldly, “You might not know this, but there is an agreement between Mu Clan and Class One Hall. This is Phoenix Sun, and I am not supposed to appear in this place. If I do, not only will I not be able to get my quest, I might even end up being chased away by Happy, Mu Clan, and Chivalry Sect.”
“Are the people from Mu Clan that overbearing?” The speaker stared at Zhou Yu in shock.
Zhou Yu fell silent and said nothing.
Class One Hall had developed extremely quickly, and their ambitions were clear. If they had not attacked Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan at the same time in the past, they might not have fallen out to this extent.
Unfortunately for them, Mu Clan had already caught up to Class One Hall. In fact, they were even showing sights that they were about to overtake them. With the similarly large Chivalry Sect supporting them, there was no one who could shake Happy’s position.
They had hoped to use One Emperor to deliver a blow on Happy through the martial arts tournament and reduce Mu Clan’s morale as well as stop their development for a while, but they did not expect that things would progress against their wishes. One Emperor lost halfway, while Happy progressed to the last stage of the martial arts tournament. Then, with an astonishing number of points, he firmly secured his spot as the strongest in the game.
Right then, the fame of the top in Famous People Rank was even above the strongest on Dragon Rank.
While the two spoke, the situation in the yard became much better for Happy and his team.
Even though he was constantly suppressed, he just kept exchanging blows and showed no signs of losing. Meanwhile, Shi Feixuan had very easily killed dozens of evil cult disciples. She had even injured the brute severely!
Grave looks appeared in the eyes of Zhou Yu and the young person from Wudang Sect.
Once Shi Feixuan was freed, the time for the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun to die would arrive.
At that moment, the situation suddenly changed in a manner that no one expected!
“Careful!”
As Shi Feixuan cried out a word of warning, a black bolt of lightning shot out from underneath the corpses of several evil cult disciples on the ground. It rushed at Happy’s back with a momentum that suggested it had been accumulating strength for a long time.
Shadow Assassin, Yang Xuyan!
He had hid himself in the dark for a long time, and finally, he could not hold himself back anymore.
Happy did not show any signs of panic. His body continued generating qi in an endless stream, and it showed no signs of running out. When he saw that Shi Feixuan was about to win, he knew that Yang Xuyan would know it too and be forced to take the initiative to attack.
Shick!
The black sword glare was like a venomous snake at night. It went to attack Happy without a sound.
The onlookers in the area did not notice it straight away either. Instead, Shi Feixuan was the first to notice it and shout out a warning.
However, she still could not prevent the horrible situation of Happy being surrounded by three powerful martial artists!
“Yang Xuyan!”
For the first time since the fight, Happy sensed an unprecedented threat to his life. With an angry shout, he activated Golden Bell Cocoon. At the moment the sound of it shaking viciously came from his back, his center of gravity shifted. He dodged the attacks from the two monsters of Phoenix Sun at the speed of lightning, and with Dragon Swings Its Tail, he reflexively shot toward Yang Xuyan, who had revealed himself.
Bang!
Yang Xuyan did not expect that even after he had made such complete preparations and created the situation in which Happy would certainly get killed, his attack would still be negated by one incredibly ingenious kick.
He trembled and was kicked out like a cannonball.
The two monsters of Phoenix Sun, in the meantime, seemed to have angered Shi Feixuan. A dazzling sword force landed between them and Happy, and it formed a terrifying trench between them.
