Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 625
Chapter 625: Learn Through Rumors
In his previous life, Happy had entered Sky Demon Secret Cave multiple times, and he knew everything in it very well.
The resources in Sky Demon Secret Cave was something that he knew the clearest, but aside from them, the thing that left the greatest impression on him was Lightning Executioner Xing Wuzui’s strength. He was an elite at the peak of Inaction Realm in charge of Sky Demon Sect’s punishment hall, and he was only one step away from Myth Realm. He also happened to be one of the vice sect masters of Sky Demon Sect.
As a vice sect master of Sky Demon Sect, he had the strength to protect Sky Demon Sect and make all those who wanted to invade it stop in their tracks.
However, Happy knew that he had a fatal weakness.
All evil cult elders chose to sound the golden bell when they were at a disadvantage while fighting against the invaders and called for reinforcements. Only Xing Quzui would never sound the golden bell!
Hence, when Happy saw Elder Xing, he did not show any wariness or nervousness. He calmly got rid of the fourth elder and used the slight upper hand he gained while fighting against Xing Wuzui to jump up on the roof.
Whoosh!
Xing Wuzui had already forgotten about Momo by then and focused entirely on Happy. He chased after him, and with the golden bell separating them, they faced the other with burning eyes!
“If I cannot kill you within one hundred moves, I will not involve myself in the matters of the world anymore!”
The attack earlier had clearly delivered quite a shock to Elder Xing. He spoke the fierce words with an expression as cold as ice before placing his hands behind his back. His feet slowly rose from the roof, and he levitated above Happy to look down on him.
Happy said nothing.
He stood 164 feet away from Elder Xing without any fear. He stared at Xing Wuzui calmly, even though his qi was becoming increasingly astonishing.
“Go on and attack me,” he said slowly.
The people from the evil cult usually went back on their word, and Happy knew that if he truly fought against Elder Xing with the condition of winning in one hundred moves, the possibility of him losing was very great.
The system did not give him any notification, and it showed that those were not sincere words, so he felt no need to pretend they were real.
Crack!
A piercing sound rose, and the glazed tiles under his feet cracked slightly.
Happy frowned a little. He ignored the pressure Xing Wuzui sent against him and said calmly, “If you’re so easily provoked, you might not be able to even touch my sleeves within a hundred moves.”
Before he could finish speaking, Xing Wuzui snorted coldly!
Boom!
A hidden force rose from the roof, and countless tiles shot out. With piercing sounds, they tore through the air while intersecting with each other as they swept toward Happy in a shining wave. They came with the force of an avalanche and were packed densely with each other!
Whoosh!
At the same time, Xing Wuzui’s body and voice vanished.
He had learned his lesson though.
When he found that his opponent had astonishing spiritual perception, he intentionally caused a ruckus to hide his true intentions.
It was a killing move in which he prided himself, and he was confident that it could kill the martial artist before his eyes. There was no one who could avoid the offense in front of them while evading Xing Wuzui’s shocking speed.
But unfortunately for him, he faced Happy, and Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Ten True Dragon Styles.
In this life, he had four ultimate techniques, which pushed his strength to his previous life’s peak. In fact, he had surpassed his previous self a little.
When he noticed that Xing Wuzui had vanished, he subconsciously locked down on Xing Wuzui’s movement trajectory, and with the speed of lightning, he charged toward the glazed tiles that were everywhere ahead of him.
When Xing Wuzui saw that, he was delighted.
While Happy went to face the countless glazed tiles that were like a curtain in the sky, he extended his right arm from behind Happy like a phantom, formed a claw, and went straight to grab Happy’s neck.
Whoosh!
Petite Dragon worked once more!
At the same time Happy avoided Xing Wuzui’s ambush in that incredibly dangerous situation, he laughed heartily, turned and moved behind Xing Wuzui, where he formed a claw with one hand.
Xing Wuzui was shocked. Right when he was about to react, his arm was seized. The qi in his Dantian region became numb for a moment, and he froze momentarily.
That brief pause was enough time for the glazed tile curtain he had created to arrive in front of him.
It was an attack meant for Happy, but Xing Wuzui was the one who had to withstand its full force. Soon, the sounds of the tiles shattering when they crashed into his body fortification rang nonstop.
If it were an attack from a normal Inaction Realm martial artist, Xing Wuzui would definitely not be reduced to a pathetic state.
But the hidden force he had used contained the damage of a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm, and his body fortification suffered for it. He flew into a rage then, but Happy quickly pointed at Xing Wuzu and jabbed at him, adding insult to injury.
Elder Xin’s body fortification had to withstand his own attack as well as Happy’s attack, and it trembled repeatedly. It looked as if it was about to sway and shatter.
“You cunning brat!”
Livid with rage, Xing Wuzui exchanged more than a dozen palm strikes with Happy.
Boom!
“Evil cult elder, you brag, but that’s all there is to your strength!”
Happy was intentionally trying to provoke him!
The two sides exchanged blows in the air. One person used Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, while the other was an elite at the peak of Inaction Realm. Every time they traded blows, the remaining shock created a destructive ripple in the air!
The magnificent golden palace was razed to the ground by the qi force brought forth by the two fighters when they clashed against each other violently. The roof collapsed completely, and no tiles could be found. Even a very sturdy beam was broken into pieces, which was a terrifying sight to behold.
The great wind continued sweeping through the area.
Xing Wuzui did not even notice when the golden bell was swept down by the wind force, but Momo, Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo, and the others carefully received it while watching from the side and carefully placed it on the ground.
Once they got rid of the evil cult disciples nearby, the six fell silent and stood far away from the battlefield. They watched the duo fighting intensely.
“Momo.”
After watching for some time, Phantasmal Shadow suddenly spoke in a sentimental tone. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and there was a faint hint of melancholy in it.
“Now, I finally understand why One Emperor views Happy so highly and he treats him as his rival… Happy is indeed much stronger than Zhou Yu.”
“Zhou Yu…” Momo cast Phantasmal Shadow a faint glance, but did not show any intention of talking to her.
In Momo’s eyes, Zhou Yu was just a person who was slightly better at grinding. As for his strength, he was just a normal top-class player in a sect, and there was nothing special about him.
“There is only one person who can be treated as a powerful rival for Happy in the entire game right now…” Perhaps she was being considerate of Momo’s emotions, but Phantasmal Shadow paused for a long while before she proudly added, “But it will not necessarily be the case in the future!”
Phantasmal Shadow’s words caused Momo to snort. However, she still became attentive.
“I heard that there is a group of people with a good background in other countries, and they have been developing well there. There are also elite martial artists in martial art centers set up in America’s China Town, the martial art couches of various countries, and some aristocratic disciples…”
While saying all that, Phantasmal Shadow had a sentimental look on her face. “Those people have stayed in other countries for many years, and some of them have no influence there, but others are very important in those lands. The appearance of World of Martial Artists gave them all a chance. I heard that quite a number of great fighters outside the country are preparing documents to return to the country and challenge the China server.”
“I heard about this before as well. It seems that Thailand, which is southwest from us, has a group of boxers who have been causing a rather fierce ruckus and are planning to challenge the great players in China. There are truly some powerful ones among them!”
