Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 875
Chapter 875: Ambush!
“HAH!”
The trio, regardless of whether it was Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, or Happy, actually did not bother too much with the arrow showers that filled the air, but they had to pay attention to the highly damaging weapons used to attack cities.
One hot and one cold presence shot up. These two astonishing presences instantly surged out of Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling’s bodies.
Strike at Brilliance!
Kuo Zhong’s expression was as calm as water. He had finally used Eight Skills from the Well. Two Moon in Wells, one real and the other fake, intersected at each other to form a golden saber glare that was two feet wide. All the arrows that came at it were all destroyed and crushed in an instant. The arrows that traveled at the front of the arrow shower were the first to be destroyed. While a loud bang rose, they turned into countless dense fragments that went straight back into the enemy crowd.
“AH!”
“ACK!”
The group of Mongolian cavaliers felt as if they had been hit by hail that filled the world, and they were thrown off their horses.
Xu Zhiling was also at ease. He moved his hands. The arrow showers that covered the entire area instantly turned into two waves that moved in a spiral. Then, they were either ground to dust in the air, or sent to the ground around them.
But Happy did not have such an easy time.
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling did not help them withstand the firepower, and most of the crossbow bolts were headed to their side. When he faced such a fierce arrow shower, he had to activate Shifting Stars.
Fortunately, the duo helped deal with part of the arrows raining down at them, and he had faced quite a lot of situations like this. With familiar ease, he used Shifting Stars to completely turn away all the arrows that were a threat to him, and they fell back in a dense wave at the Mongolian warriors across him.
As for the ten or so large crossbow bolts coming at them, the power in each of them was comparable to a full powered strike from a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm. Even if he used Shifting Stars, he will be unable to completely control them and move them away. He can only use Petite Dragon to avoid them.
The ten or so crossbow bolts rammed into the people behind them like cannonballs, and each of them pierced through more than ten Mongolian men because of the momentum. Those people were instantly killed.
“Happy! Chance!” At that moment, Kuo Zhong suddenly shouted loudly while he was ahead of him.
Happy felt his spirits rise. He had already noticed that after that arrow shower, the defense line formed by the Mongolian warriors ahead of them had been largely destroyed. More than three hundred people were killed, and the situation was incredibly chaotic. Right now, it was the perfect chance for him to break out of the encirclement to burn the food supplies.
“Open!”
Happy seized the chance and rushed to the air above the Mongolian warriors like an arrow fired from a bow. A bloody glare with an astonishing momentum came flying out of Dragon Saber.
At the same time, a golden moon fused with a bright, bloody light descended from the sky.
A ravine that was two feet wide and dozens of feet long swiftly spread out on the ground. The aggressive force in it was difficult to block, and the Mongolian cavaliers who were in the path of the ravine were torn from the center of their bodies.
When the golden moon descended, it whirled around and shot out from behind the Mongolian warriors.
Dozens of Mongolian warriors felt a chill at their waists, and when they looked down, they saw that their upper bodies had been separated from their lower bodies. Then, their consciousness completely vanished.
It was the final move in Eight Skills from the Moon—Soldier Deception!
It launched a pincer attack from the back and front, and the attack will change a lot during its course. With just one strike, Happy left behind a bloody path leading to the yurt.
When Kuo Zhong saw this, his eyes lit up, and he was full of praises for it. “That’s a good saber! It’s much stronger than my Moon in Well!”
Xu Zhiling frowned a little before he shook his head nonstop.
It was way too bloody.
Without another word, Happy used the momentum to charge through the final ninety-eight feet and arrived in front of the yurt.
He stretched out his arm, and under Kuo Zhong as well as Xu Zhiling’s protection, he resolutely brought out a small, round, black ball from his Universe Bag.
“Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet!”
His eyelid twitched. Kuo Zhong could not help but cry out in surprise. It was clear that he managed to recognize the object in Happy’s hands. “This is a good item. I heard that once this item explodes, it can cover an area spanning hundreds of feet wide, and even if you pour water on the fire, it cannot be extinguished! Hurry! Set the supplies on fire and leave! If we continue dilly-dallying in this place, the evil cult elites will arrive!”
“What are you still waiting for?” When Xu Zhiling saw Happy holding that Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet and not moving while he stared behind the yurt, he could not help but ask in surprise.
Happy did not answer. Instead, he solemnly put away his Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet into his sleeves. He shouted loudly at the back of the yurt, “Demon General, since you are here, there is no need for you to hide any longer.”
“Hahahaha! As expected of the strongest martial artist of the younger generation from the Murong Clan. You do have some skill with you.”
Demon General Zhao Deyan’s laughter rang out from behind the yurt.
His robes fluttered. Demon General, Priest, and Wan Wan appeared at the top of the yurt simultaneously and revealed themselves before the trio.
At the same time, the dense wave of Mongolian soldiers around them stopped moving, and they surrounded Happy and his group with their weapons drawn and ready for battle.
Silence fell among them.
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling were stunned, and their expressions became solemn.
“My young enemy, how could you not greet me when you come here?” Wan Wan glared at Xu Zhiling in a manner as if there was no one around the area. Xu Zhiling looked a little embarrassed before he returned to normal, and he surveyed the area in high alert.
“Brother Happy, what should we do now?”
Happy looked at the trio who appeared, and he instantly felt much more relaxed. “As long as it’s just those three, they won’t be able to stop us.
“Young Master Zhong, Young Master Ling, as long as you help me hold back Demon General and the Priest for a while and help me create a chance for me to attack, once I burn the supplies, we will be able to use the chaos and leave.”
“Seems a little hard.” Xu Zhiling raised his head and looked at the crowd to his side. They had suddenly split up.
Happy and Kuo Zhong frowned at the same time, and their expressions sank as well, because they suddenly saw a curvaceous figure that caused their hearts to shudder appear, and she walked forth from among the Mongolian cavaliers at a leisurely pace.
Empress Yin!
Zhu Yuyan actually came here?!
‘This is bad…’
Happy’s first reaction to this was the situation was incredibly bad right now.
Demon General and the Priest were already very difficult to deal with, and now, Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan just popped up, and she was at the level of a major boss. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way he can come out of this quest alive…
“This is going to be difficult…”
“Heheh.” At that moment, Demon General Zhao Deyan looked down from above and stared at Happy, Kuo Zhong, and Xu Zhiling before he released a string of cold and ghastly laughter. “I expected that you will definitely think about attacking our supplies once you were promoted to a battalion commander, but I didn’t expect that the young marshal and his companion will be here as well. This is good. Once I get rid of the three of you, we’ll definitely be able to take down the Chinese army’s edge.”
“Let’s break out. It’s impossible to complete this quest.”
“That’s right! We’ll break out! If we don’t leave, all three of us might end up losing our lives here.”
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling were of one mind. When they saw four Myth Realm martial artists arriving in the area, they knew that even if Happy released Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet, they will not be able to complete their mission perfectly and burn all the supplies to a crisp. Hence, they quickly came to a conclusion.
Only Happy held his breath and focused while he stared at Empress Yin walking slowly out of the crowd. He grabbed his Dragon Saber with one hand while he seized Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet with the other. His gaze moved back and forth from the yurt, Demon General, the Priest, Wan Wan, and Empress Yin.
“Demon General is right, since you’re here, die, especially you, Happy. You saved that girl from Kind Boathouse yesterday, so you’d best stay here so that I can treat you ‘nicely’.” Empress Yin walked over with her face as calm as water. Her Sky Demon Aura was completely activated.
The trio instantly felt a heavy weight on them, as if they sank into a swamp.
“Young Master Zhong, Young Master Ling, you can break out of the encirclement first.” Happy calmly sent a private message to Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling asking them to leave ahead of him.
The two were shocked, and they sent a message to him as well. “Why are you still trying to act the hero at this time?! Staying to put on a strong front isn’t smart!”
Happy’s tone became stern. “Do you remember what you promised me when we came here? This time, you have to listen to everything that I have to say about the quest. Please, leave first.”
