Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 674
Chapter 674: Three Dragons Sword Qi
[Three Dragons Sword Qi:
[It is a sword qi technique copied from the Sword Sect Master through Nine Yang Divine Skill. It only has half of its original might. Uses 500 qi points to deal 30,000 damage. It has the effect of breaking defenses.]
The depletion of five hundred qi points was two and a half times more than that of Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets. Even though its damage was not high, it broke defenses and could instantly kill an Inaction Realm martial artist.
Sixth suddenly sensed a familiar qi flow and killing intent behind him. He was delighted and thought that his sect master had appeared, but when he turned his head around, the familiar sword finger swiftly expanded before his eyes. His gaze was fixed on it, practically frozen. His face turned pale and filled with confusion. He could only watch as the sword qi seeped into his body.
Thud!
Some time ago, Happy had pierced the incredibly sturdy wall that had a very high resistance to heat in Sword Crafting Hall, so piercing a human body was no problem for him.
A bloody hole suddenly appeared between Sixth’s eyebrows. He did not even have time to scream in pain. His life force was instantly cut off. He stood straight in the snow and wind, and his eyes were filled with bafflement.
Whoosh!
Once Happy executed Three Dragons Sword Qi, he felt a powerful wave of exhaustion envelope him, making him feel weak. He said nothing and sat down to meditate. He also took a medicinal pill that would recover his stamina while he circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill at full strength in order to restore his energy and essence.
‘As expected of an ultimate technique by a Myth Realm martial artist. Not only does Three Dragons Sword Qi require a lot of qi, but it also uses up a lot of stamina and mental energy. The burden on the body is great. Once I use it, my body’s functions are instantly decreased by 80%. I will not be able to protect myself within a short period of time. Next time, I won’t use it so readily.’
Happy frowned and became wary.
However, he did manage to kill nine Inaction Realm martial artists in one breath and got a Class S battle danger assessment. His qi increased by three out of the blue, and he was one step closer to reaching 640 qi points, which was the requirement to reach Moksha Realm.
“Moksha Realm…”
While Happy circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill to swiftly recover his qi, spirit, and stamina, he stared at the sword casket on his knees, and his heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Heaven Crystal!
Right then, it was definitely not something good.
Even Bei Xiao, who was a powerful martial artist as well as the clan leader of the mighty northern clan, was injured by its evil aura. If a normal person touched it, would they not be cut to bloody shreds?
Before he reached Moksha Realm, Happy would not touch it.
However, since he had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill and the increase of his qi had risen by such a large degree that he almost reached Moksha Realm in just one year and his progress was so much faster than in his previous life, he suddenly felt that the entire thing was very surreal.
He was already almost in Moksha Realm.
And it was so easy…
Right then, if he took Fire Qilin Blood, he would reach 640 qi points and enter Moksha Realm.
The increase of his qi realm would give him a 10% increase in his chances of winning against One Emperor.
Even though he did not know whether One Emperor would be like him and that the increase of his abilities would be much faster in this life, Happy had four ultimate techniques with him, and by chance, he had also obtained the peerless ultimate technique that was Three Dragons Sword Qi. He was a little more confident than before.
One Emperor…
“I’m done with the matter here. It’s about time that I fulfill my promise to head to Mount Tai and fight against you,” Happy mumbled to himself before he suddenly opened his eyes. A wary look shone in them, and he stared in the direction of Heaven Shaker Fortress.
‘Someone’s coming.
‘Looks like the whistle from that Sword Sect disciple managed to catch the attention of the elites in Heaven Shaker Fortress.’
Whoosh!
Happy stood up quickly. He did not dare to be idle and quickly took the Universe Bag from Sixth’s waist before he tapped against the ground and charged down the snowy ground without leaving any tracks.
In less than half a minute, a few black dots appeared at the spot where Happy previously was.
If he had stayed, he would have met the three monsters of the mighty northern clan—Bei Xiao and his two Dharma protectors.
Their abilities were incredibly great. When they arrived, they looked around warily, and once they discovered that there was no one else around, they cast puzzled gazes on the Sword Sect disciple’s corpse, which was still frozen in the posture of its death.
“It’s someone from Sword Sect.”
“Why is he dead here?”
The two Dharma protectors frowned and surveyed the area.
“Three Dragons Sword Qi! This is a technique from Sect Master Luo’s Purple Dragon Qi Cultivation Technique. Strange, even though Sect Master Luo went to the other side… Could it be that the people of Sword Sect decided to fight against each other?”
Bei Xiao could not understand what had happened. He observed the bloody hole between the Sword Sect disciple’s eyebrows, along with the clear sword qi trench created on the ground, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
“It’s not the workings of Sect Master Luo. The power this person executed isn’t even half of what Sect Master Luo could do.”
“There isn’t any traces of Heaven Crystal’s sword qi here either. Why did the people from Sword Sect decide to fight against each other?”
Silence fell among them.
The trio could not figure out an answer, but soon, they traced the footprints that had not vanished from the snowy ground and headed in the direction of the cedar forest.
They found eight Sword Sect disciples’ corpses near the col and inside it.
“Whew.” When Bei Xiao arrived in front of the deep hole from which the Sword Sect disciples had dug out Heaven Crystal, he sucked in a deep breath, and his tone became incredibly grave. “Sword Sect is in deep trouble this time. The people Sect Master Luo placed here to catch Heaven Crystal have all been killed.
“By the looks of it, it’s the workings of a Beggar’s Sect elite and a Sword Sect disciple. Sect Master Luo didn’t manage to get Heaven Crystal, and he’ll be questioned by the elites of the martial artist world.”
“Forget it. Let’s go. We can’t interfere with what happened here, and neither do we have the obligation to do so.”
The three monsters of the mighty northern clan looked around the area, then quickly left the troublesome place once they were sure they had learned all that could be learned.
Then, countless players surged over.
On that day, the world of martial artists burst into a commotion.
The mighty northern clan quickly turned into a hot topic among the martial artists.
After all, up to that moment, multiple Myth Realm martial artists fighting against each other was an event that had never happened before, and they had practically ruined half of Sword Crafting Hall in Heaven Shaker Fortress.
For the first time, the NPCs of famous clans and a sect were attacked, and many died.
What caused countless players to be even more excited was that there were topics about Heaven Crystal circulating in the world of martial artists.
Many people said that a person carrying a black sword casket around was the person with Heaven Crystal. If they caught and killed him, they would be able to obtain the ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal, and Heaven Crystal Sword Technique. Then, they would stand invincible in the world.
For a period of time, countless martial artists in the game were restless. They searched everywhere for a person with a sword casket in the streets.
But most players just observed NPCs.
There was no one who believed that a player would have been able to trigger the Heaven Crystal quest at Heaven Shaker Fortress, and no one could imagine that a player would have been able to snatch Heaven Crystal right in front of so many Myth Realm martial artists’ eyes.
Everyone inevitably thought that the quest was a main quest that happened in real time.
But three days later, when Happy appeared at the foot of Mount Tai in an imposing manner with a black sword casket on his back, the entire world of martial artists instantly descended into a mighty uproar.
