Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 821
Chapter 821: Become One with the Horse
Sword glares that filled the air charged toward Zhao Deyan again, but this time, Happy gambled on his life as well!
He turned around and charged back without caring about Zhao Deyan’s fierce spear momentum. After executing the first layer of sword layers, he pushed at his limits and executed the second layer immediately after the first layer.
Happy’s action had indeed exceeded Zhao Deyan’s expectations!
He absolutely did not expect that Happy will choose to charge back and get close to him when he could no longer see any hope. He was caught off guard, and almost instinctively, his Hundred Transformation Spear shuddered, and three spear glares that could not be seen with the naked eye crashed violently against the sharp sword glares that enveloped him. It gave off the feeling that it wanted to pierce through Happy using its remaining force!
Unfortunately for him, this time, Zhao Deyan finally miscalculated.
There was a reason behind why Happy had continuously attacked to test waters.
After exchanging blows a few times, Happy had long since gained a full picture of Zhao Deyan’s attack speed, qi circulation, and also the changes in trajectory for Zhao Deyan’s spear technique.
Happy also managed to tell that while Zhao Deyan’s defense was very strong and insane, that was the effect from his demon armor. Besides, Zhao Deyan will always intentionally leave behind a few sword glares because he wanted to destroy his willpower and make his confidence sway, but Zhao Deyan did not know that his intentional act of letting a few sword glares remain had coincidentally revealed the demon armor’s weakness: while the demon armor could withstand several attacks, but it still had a limit to the damage it can withstand. Once it went over that limit, the person wearing the demon armor will still be injured!
It was precisely because he had guessed Zhao Deyan’s trump that Happy decided to launch his counterattack without hesitation!
At the moment he drew close, he activated Shifting Stars, and when Zhao Deyan attacked, he sensed that there was something off. Right when the power he poured into his spear spilled out, the guiding force around Happy had already transferred it to another side!
The spear glare circled round them!
‘Do unto others what they unto you!’
The spear glare’s power was not reduced in the slightest, and it crashed fiercely against Zhao Deyan’s chest at lightning speed.
This was a Myth Realm martial artist’s full powered attack, and there was no way Zhao Deyan will come out of it unharmed. With those rounds of sword glares from Happy, clanging sounds rose, and dazzling sparks rose from his body.
Bang!
Zhao Deyan was flung far away like a kite with its string snapped.
Even he could not completely withstand his own attack!
Yu Yan was stunned speechless.
She had been watching the fight with her heart racing against her chest, and in worry, she bit down at her bottom lip. She did not dare make a sound to distract Happy from the fight, and it was only at this moment that an excited flush appeared on her face, making her look incredibly charming.
However, at the moment Happy successfully made the hit and regained the upperhand, his expression was not pleasant!
His gaze swept toward her as quickly as lightning.
“Yu Yan, go back to the camp! Hurry!” he spoke hastily, and his expression was full of a sense of urgency.
When she heard this, Yu Yan sensed something. She turned her head around to look in Zhao Deyan’s direction, but noticed that Zhao Deyan had actually vanished.
Right when Zhao Deyan fell on the ground, he disappeared without a trace!
Even though she did not know what happened, Yu Yan did not dare ask about it. She said nothing else, but just summoned her Hoof Shadow and jumped on it.
Thud thud thud thud!
As galloping sounds rose, Happy’s expression changed. He tapped against the ground, and a footprint that was half a foot deep was left behind on the grass when he jumped more than thirty feet into the air.
Once she heard the wind howl behind her, Yu Yan turned her head around to look. Then, she saw Zhao Deyan changing his target to chase after her while his face was filled with murderous intent and his eyes shone with a cold glare. He had decided to cast aside Happy and chase after her, and he was faster than her Hoof Shadow!
Yu Yan felt fear seize her heart. It was only then that she noticed that Zhao Deyan only had a small dent on the part of the armor covering his chest even after he was sent flying away. The other parts were still a glossy black, and not a single wound could be detected on him. He was still in perfect condition.
“Giddy-up!”
Yu Yan finally understood why Happy told her to immediately leave on her horse.
Zhao Deyan had actually managed to remain unharmed even after he was hit that way! He was too terrifying!
In her urgency, Yu Yan leaned down and wrapped an arm around Hoof Shadow’s neck while she swung her whip and increased her speed as she fled.
The horse dashed forward madly like an arrow fired from a bow!
But that did not stop Zhao Deyan from chasing after her quickly.
The killing intent in Zhao Deyan’s eyes grew stronger.
He was the Demon General, one of the eight top martial artists in the evil cult, but he had been sent tumbling on the ground by a youngster in the righteous path. If word of this traveled, he will definitely be treated as a great joke in the world of martial artists, and it will end up as the greatest humiliation in his life.
Not only must Happy die, this girl must also not leave this place alive!
But no matter what, Hoof Shadows were not normal horses. When they ran, their speed was equivalent to the Phantasmal Body Movement Skill executed by top class elites. The explosive speed within them was incredibly great, which was why Zhao Deyan did not manage to catch up to her immediately.
During that critical moment, a terrifying presence suddenly rose from behind him!
Zhao Deyan’s expression changed drastically.
‘This is the presence of a Myth Realm elite! How could it be possible?! Did someone from the Chinese plains come over?!’
He turned his head around swiftly, and he was just in time to see a sword qi with the color of the world hit his chest as quickly as the wind.
Bang!
A loud bang rose. Zhao Deyan was once again slammed to the ground, and he crashed against the grass in a pathetic manner.
As for Happy, he had forcibly held his breath to execute Three Dragons Sword Qi, but he instantly had five hundred qi points taken from him. His face immediately turned pale, and he looked incredibly ghastly.
Thud thud thud thud!
Naturally, Yu Yan did not dare stop. She continued swinging her whip against her Hoof Shadow, and in an instant, she travelled dozens of feet and left the place.
Happy did not linger around to fight either. He swallowed a Small Reversion Pill, summoned his Hoof Shadow, and got on his horse. Everything was done in one smooth motion! But he headed in the opposite direction as Yu Yan!
Happy’s current situation made it so that he will not be able to survive if he fought against Zhao Deyan. If he did not have the support from his qi realm, no matter who he ran into, he will die.
But Zhao Deyan was a little stunned by that one blow from the sword qi.
The sword qi that was incredibly similar to the Sword Sect Master’s full powered strike caused his heart to thunder in fear. For a moment, he could not care about Happy. Instead, he looked around. When he noticed that the one who attacked him just now was Happy and that Happy’s qi realm had swiftly plummeted, a flash of bone-chilling killing intent and anger shone in his eyes.
He tapped against the ground and blended into the night like a phantom.
Once he sat on Hoof Shadow’s back, Happy heard the rapidly weakening galloping sounds from Yu Yan’s steed, and some of the tension he felt in his heart left him.
But soon, a powerful chill that made his skin crawl closed in on him from behind.
“Zhao Deyan!”
‘That guy…’ Happy laughed wanly in his heart.
Shifting Stars had made him suffer a full-powered strike from his own attack, and he was attacked by a Three Dragons Sword Qi next, but even so, this had not managed to injure him, because he had managed to catch up to Happy so soon.
If he knew that the Demon General was so difficult to deal with, even if someone pointed a gun at Happy’s head, he will not stay for even half a second at the enemy rear!
Zhao Deyan’s figure quickly entered Happy’s field of vision!
Hatred and anger caused Zhao Deyan’s speed to increase.
When Happy sensed the gaze that made him feel as if he fell into an ice cave, but also made him feel as if it was about to light him up in fire, he knew that he was in a very bad situation. If he could not bring out any martial arts that could protect his own life, Zhao Deyan will most likely catch up to him.
He sucked in a deep breath, and his expression quickly turned stern.
While he executed Nine Yang Divine Skill to spread out the medicinal effects from Small Reversion Pill to quickly restore his qi and qi realm, Happy spread open his arms, pressed them against the horse’s back, and swiftly shut his eyes.
The horse’s meridian system was rapidly reflected in Happy’s mind.
At the same time, Happy pushed his true qi into his Hoof Shadow based on the method he used to steal Xu Zhiling’s technique while he was on the pleasure boat.
Hoof Shadow’s heart pounded with great force, and it reached a resonance with Happy’s heartbeat!
The human and horse became one!
Whoosh!
Its hooves thundered against the ground powerfully, and the wind howling at his ears instantly became much fiercer!
He looked like he was traveling through space itself.
Then, Happy noticed with his sensitive senses that the bone-chilling cold behind started to gradually grow farther away from him, and Zhao Deyan’s crazed as well as enraged roars could be heard echoing on the plains.
