Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 749
Chapter 749: Heavenly Lightning and Fire
Boom!
The impact formed by the loud bang practically blew down all the trees within a circular area of 328 feet. The powerful qi flow blew everyone off their feet.
The black fog that was touched by the fire instantly turned into flames that looked like sparks. With one whoosh, they ignited and immediately burned all the air around them. They began spreading outward like fireworks.
The flames engulfed the forests nearby.
The trees were immediately lit, and they were quickly scorched black. It was the same for the ground, and even when they were scorched black, the fire was not extinguished until a long time had passed.
Some of the unlucky assassins from Assassin Hall were touched by the phosphorescent sparks, and they were in so much pain because of it that they rolled around the ground and tried everything in their disposal to extinguish the flames, but it was all in vain.
The circular area of 328 feet was like world of smoke and flames after a great war, and it was a terrifying sight to behold! Screams and wails of pain could be heard frequently, and when the Mu Clan elites snapped out of their amazement toward the power in the impact, they saw this scene, and their faces were instantly drained of blood.
They could not find Happy no matter where they looked, but there was one place where they could not check because they could not see what was inside clearly—the large, burning patch of forest.
“Boss Happy!”
“Take revenge for Boss Happy!”
“Take revenge for the clan master!”
The group of people were indignant. They drew their weapons and pounced at the elites from Assassin Hall.
Neither side said anything.
When both sides clashed against each other, the shadows and glares from their weapons flashed.
But there was a group of people who did not move!
After that loud bang, Tang Feng disguised himself and hid in the dark while he watched the fireworks quickly form a large cloud of fire in the crowd. He finally put on an excited smile.
‘I made it!’
The bullet was Heavenly Lightning and Fire, a creation of Tang Sect’s Junior Tang Sect. The damage was astonishing, and no body fortification could hope to block it.
With the sinister Poisonous Black Phosphorous Fog that could expand the area of damage for a weapon from the ninjas, the bullet will immediately burst into flames right when it was lit! If a person was touched with even a single spark of poisonous phosphor, the poisonous fire inside will attack the heart, and those afflicted will be paralyzed. Even if the explosion did not manage to kill Happy, he will have died of poison!
He used the lives of hundreds of Tang Sect elites in exchange for this moment.
When Tang Feng saw the instant Happy was completely surrounded by poisonous fire, he felt pleased with himself, as if everything in the world was in his world. It was as if all the elites on Dragon Rank, Phoenix Rank, and the world were brought down under his feet at that moment!
“Mister Tang, (or Tang-kun, if we wanna make it sound more Japanese, just ctrl + H and replace) your Heavenly Lightning and Fire does indeed live up to its name!” There was a group of ninjas who were dressed uniquely beside Tang Feng. Each of them wore high-grade ninja gear, and if no one looked closely, they will think that Ninja King was among them.
One of them saw the power in Heavenly Lightning and Fire, as well as the damage it caused. A red spark instantly appeared in his eyes. “It’s no wonder why Tang Sect has always occupied an important position in the Chinese world of martial artists. Tang Sect’s hidden weapons do indeed have their fame spread through the land…”
He stopped talking for a moment, and as he stared at Tang Feng’s ambitious smile, he added. “This time, after you kill Happy, all the people in the world will know of your name, Mister Tang!”
Right when he finished speaking, Tang Feng was finally unable to hold back from laughing smugly and loudly. “HAHAHA!!!”
His hearty laughter was mixed with the high spirits of a person after he stood head and shoulders above other people.
He had not just stationed his men over here, but had also stationed Assassin Hall’s members at the Guanlin Temple nearby. Even if Happy came out from within in a good condition, he will be immediately killed again.
He did not have just one Heavenly Lightning and Fire.
At that time, they might not even know whether Happy will dare leave Guanlin Temple.
His arrogant laughter became clearly with every passing moment. The wind in the forest howled, and the fire in the mountain was extinguished slightly. They seemed to have noticed Tang Feng’s great ambitions and were a little fearful.
However, right when Tang Feng ordered his hall members next to him to send messenger pigeons to their friends at Guanlin Temple to begin preparations, an unexpected voice rose from the raging flames!
“What exactly could it be that caused you to be so happy, Brother Hang? Could you tell me so that I, Happy, could celebrate it with you?”
Whoosh!
The breeze blew into the forest.
Tang Feng’s laughter came to a screeching halt!
The intense clashes between weapons in the forest also stopped quickly at that moment.
The people from both sides simultaneously retreated from the battlefield with different expressions!
The forest fell silent.
The people from Assassin Hall suddenly felt that the raging heat around them had become much colder after that voice rose, and the mountain breeze became a cold gust of wind.
They held their breaths. Everyone felt a chill run down their hearts, and with disbelieving, shocked, and hopeless eyes, they stared at the black figure that gradually became clearer in the flames.
“He’s… not dead?”
The people who had personally witnessed Heavenly Lightning and Fire’s damage could not accept this reality at all. After going through that fierce explosion and being burned by those phosphorous flames, that person did not die!
Tang Feng also swallowed his laughter through a great deal of effort. He stared at the person who walked out of the flames with surprise, bafflement, and disbelief.
That person still wore just a rather normal set of Golden Armor.
But there was something very strange about him.
When he walked out of the burning flames, everyone could clearly see those raging flames fleeing from Happy’s side.
Wherever it went, the flames will automatically part ways, and those phosphorous flames could not deal any damage to Happy at all!
Silence fell among them.
The Japanese ninja’s subconsciously took a few steps back, because they had already noticed that when Happy walked out of the raging flames, there was already a grayish hue on his face, and there was also a cold look in his eyes while he stared at them as if he was looking at dead people.
These people were already used to seeing hatred from their enemies’ eyes, but for the first time, they saw derision and scorn from that gaze, along with a hint of brutal coldness.
“Run!”
Japanese ninjas could not appear publicly in the Chinese world of martial artists, especially after the incident with Three Dragons Guild. The sects in the Chinese server no longer dared to have any contact with Japanese ninjas. Mu Clan’s status and influence caused there to be no land in the Chinese server where they could possibly survive, and hence, they immediately thought about fleeing from the battlefield.
The group of people did not even wait for Assassin Hall to react to the situation. They had already resolutely hidden themselves in the depths of the forest.
When he walked out of the flames, Happy cast a faint glance at those Japanese ninjas, and he sent a signal to the group of Mu Clan members behind him.
The group of people quickly understood what he meant.
Whoosh!
They no longer bothered themselves with the matter with Assassin Hall and chased after the Japanese ninjas.
There was no one from Assassin Hall who thought about intercepting them. They only held their breaths and stared at Happy in disbelief, because he seemed to be completely uninjured. Their minds seemed to have blanked out.
“Tang Feng, we haven’t exactly cleared our grudge with each other outside the royal mausoleum, have we? Right now, you came over to fight against me again. Did you actually think that once you hide under Class One Hall’s wings, Mu Clan and I will be unable to do anything to you?” He stopped talking for a moment before he continued, “This time, your hidden weapon is indeed rather powerful. If it were not for the fact that I have noticed your men beforehand and was prepared for it, I might have truly died and have been resurrected once at Guanlin Temple, which will be just what you wished for.”
Tang Feng said nothing. He gradually widened his eyes and could not believe that Happy seemed to have estimated everything.
Happy’s slow voice traveled into his ears calmly. “The situation now is different. What will happen if you’re the one who will run into the accident? One final word for you, I hope that you’ll live until you can see Changjiang.”
Once he finished speaking, he flung his longsword.
Tang Feng’s eyes were filled with anguish and puzzlement. He did not even try to fight back and could only watch with wide eyes as Happy attacked. A bloody hole was left on his throat, and he fell to the ground limp. Even when he died, he could not close his eyes and be at peace.
