Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  In the chaos, Mu Clan charged dozens of feet forward in one go. When they ran into those who could fight against them, they did not hold back. They battled one on one or two on one and used their fiercest techniques to kill them.

  The damage of fourth-echelon weapons might not be incredibly shocking, but it was still no problem for them to severely injure people with just two or three slashes. Once the elites activated Wind Spirit Spin, there was practically no one who could remain standing against them.

  The archers of Mu Clan's branch followed behind their fighters and began advancing too.

  They did not let their arrows fly in arcs, but shot them in a straight line. Once they locked on their target, they attacked freely.

  The damage from shooting in a straight line was much stronger than when shooting in an arc!

  Besides, due to how magnificent was the equipment of the Mu Clan elites and how few they were compared to their enemies, the archers had a lot of space to move and they were unlikely to injure one of their own. They had a lot of room to show off their talents.

  Arrows moved all through the battlefield.

  They passed by the Mu Clan elites and shot their enemies or forced them to look for places to hide.

  At that moment, the demonic sounds came to a halt.

  Towering Palace and Class One Hall had lost hundreds of men under Mu Clan's brutal and resolute counterattack, and they were forced to retreat in an incredibly pathetic manner.

  But Mu Clan did not stop advancing.

  The retreating forces and the advancing forces were squashed together. When the crowd stopped moving, they created a lot of chances for Mu Clan to attack.

  Hundreds of Mu Clan archers seized the chance and began firing multiple rounds of arrows. They did their best to kill or injure their enemies and rack up their battle achievements until the people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace reacted to this and fought back using bows and arrows. Then, under Silver Wolf's orders, Mu Clan retreated in an orderly manner.

  Class One Hall's charge was sent back in retreat back to their baseline.

  But some problems had appeared at the back of Mu Clan's branch, which was facing Towering Palace.

  Even though the wall there was still as sturdy as ever, Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf's attention had moved elsewhere, and quite a number of elites appeared at the back.

  After waves of reckless charges, a number of extraordinary elites pounced on Mu Clan's ranks and caused quite a ruckus.

  Once their orderly attacks were interrupted, it became dangerous!

  At that moment, Towering Palace's Vast Heaven and Grim Green led the best of Towering Palace over the wall. Vast Heaven executed his Six Pulses Divine Sword fiercely, aggressively, and repeatedly, and finally, casualties appeared on Mu Clan's side.

  Mu Clan and Towering Palace finally clashed!

  Fire raged in the backyard.

  Mu Clan was in a perilous situation.

  Chapter 744 - Ten Thousand Poison, Demonic Sound

  But no matter what, the gap at Class One Hall's side was a major disaster area. It was the most dangerous, and it had the highest possibility of their enemies pushing forward instantly. Hence, even though Silver Wolf noticed the danger at the backyard, he could not mobilize his forces.

  He had made meticulous arrangements before he placed those Mu Clan members in the four directions. No matter who he moved away from any direction, there will be a possibility that that side will weaknesses and gaps appear in it.

  That was why when he saw that the situation at the backyard was becoming more alarming and the breathing of the people beside him was becoming increasingly quick and uneasy, Silver Wolf remained unmoved and cold!

  His incomplete silver mask became even more dazzling under the firelight.

  But it was precisely of his silence and calmness that even when the Mu Clan members heard the increasingly intense cries of murder and the sounds of fighting from the backyard draw closer to them, as long as they did not receive Silver Wolf's order, they will not turn around to cast a glance in that direction.

  At the battlefield against Class One Hall, a large group of Mu Clan elites gritted their teeth and chased after those from Class One Hall outside the branch wall before they swung their weapons to block the arrows while they retreated back into the branch through the collapsed wall.

  The powerful counterattack and attacks caused Mu Clan's branch to be filled with corpses. Those corpses were strewn everywhere, and it was an incredibly magnificent sight.

  The people outside saw that Mu Clan's camp had never lost even a single member in their fight. Even though the sounds of battle at the backyard could shake the heavens, their attackers at the other three directions were blocked by the unmoving and cold "wall" formed by Mu Clan's elites. These people s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths and did not dare take a step forward.

  The situation at three directions had now become completely safe.

  Most people cast their gazes at the backyard!

  As casualties continued appearing in Mu Clan, Towering Palace had clearly treated this place as a key point for their firepower to break through and break Mu Clan!

  More elites charged over in an endless stream, and they seemed as if they wanted to use the advantage of numbers to continue pushing forward so that they can completely destroy Mu Clan's branch.

  Towering Palace had actually made a pretty good move.

  While the elites from Dragon Sect sacrificed a few of their own to send the formation at the backyard into chaos, a large group of people were led by Vast Heaven to completely throw the defense line there into disorder, and the people from both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle.

  Even though there were quite a lot of Mu Clan elites who had great equipment, Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and those twenty or so Dragon Sect elites were not easy to deal with.

  Very soon, half of the elites at the front row were lost, and the remaining ones were injured.

  However, Towering Palace was not completely uninjured.

  The Dragon Sect elites also killed quite a number of Mu Clan elites during the chaost.

  "Good work!"

  Even so, Clear Music was still very excited by the sight she saw from the tall platform she spontaneously built outside Mu Clan's branch. She saw that her people had quickly occupied nearly half the space in the branch's backyard, and there were more people who tried to widen the gap. Clear Music could already see the situation where Mu Clan's branch will be destroyed if this development continued.

  "Lead another group of people to assist Vice Palace Master Heaven and Vice Palace Master Grim!"

  For the first time, Clear Music felt carefree, as if all the gloom in her c.h.e.s.t had been released.

  However, the middle-aged man beside her, who was also the vice sect master of Dragon Sect, did not have any joy on his face as he stared at the situation at Mu Clan's backyard. Instead, he noticed that calmness had returned to the other three directions of the branch once the enemy offense had been beaten to a retreat. But even so, they did not show any signs of redirecting their forces to the backyard. Hence, he scowled and discovered that there was something off.

  When the offense from the other three directions were sent back, logically speaking, Silver Wolf should bring out a few people from the other three directions to fill up the losses at the backyard.

  But Silver Wolf did nothing.

  'Why?!'

  "This is bad!"

  *****

  Once the other three directions were settled, Silver Wolf observed the backyard for a while before he found Vast Heaven and Grim Green's figures in the crowd. At the same time, he locked down on more than ten extraordinary people in the crowd.

  He pointed them all to Wind Chimes, and after that, Little North, who was already very eager to go and fight, heard this from Silver Wolf. "Go, be careful."

  "Don't worry!"

  When he heard this, Little North clenched his fists, and two Thousand Year Corpse King's Right A
rms released crackling sounds. He snorted through gritted teeth and said, "This time, if I don't set up these annoying jerks and kill them, I'll willingly give up my position as the third strongest in the headquarters!"

  Little North had always been a cultured person when he spoke and seldom swore, but now, he swore, which was a rare sight.

  From this alone, it was clear just how much resentment and anger he had acc.u.mulated in himself!

  *****

  When the Mu Clan members around him saw that fog, they quickly made way.

  Little North crouched down and smoothly approached a Dragon Sect elite.

  "Hmph."

  Even though he was intercepted by quite a number of Mu Clan elites, that Dragon Sect elite still moved about with ease in the crowd. He also noticed Little North sneaking up to him, since he was on high alert, and his gaze turned cold.

  But at that moment, those bizarre zither notes suddenly crept into his ears!

  He became wary, and his true qi suddenly slowed down.

  While he moved forward, his true qi had frozen up, and immediately, something happened to him.

  There were a few people who had the same problem happen to them.

  Those people simultaneously began hallucinating about everything around them because of the demonic sounds that suddenly entered their ears.

  Vast Heaven, who was not too far away, saw everything that transpired very clearly.

  That Dragon Sect elite froze, and he lowered his head.

  Almost at the same time, Little North quickly turned from a ball of fog into a black bolt of lightning that swiftly brushed past that Dragon Sect elite. His black claws left behind several black claw marks on that Dragon Sect elite's body.

  At that moment, Vast Heaven's heart tensed.

  He knew that the Dragon Sect elite was dead.

  Little North's nickname in the game was Ten Thousand Poison Duke!

  Once anyone was struck by Little North's poison, even if they immediately took in an antidote, it will be useless, because in a war, the instant when more than half of their abilities were reduced was basically the same as someone sentencing them to death.

  Just as Vast Heaven expected, before he even had the time to look over once more, the Dragon Sect elite who was scratched was killed with a flurry of slashes by the people around them, and he was instantly killed!

  At the same time, the other people who were affected by the demonic sounds were also caught in rather dangerous situations.

  "It's your fault for bullying my pet!"

  Little North glared viciously at the person as he breathed his last. Then, without stopping, he picked up his zombie's claws from the ground and stuffed it into his Universe Bag before he brought out a bamboo tube and opened it quietly.

  A golden flash seeped into the crowd agilely, and it led to a short grunt from the crowd.

  *****

  No matter what, the people gathered at Mu Clan's branch were strong players who came from everywhere. They were unlike normal top players in a normal branch. Regardless of whether it was their equipment or strength, they were not people to whom Towering Palace and Class One Hall could compare to.

  At the end of the day, the only people who could threaten them were the Dragon Sect elites, Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and a handful of other people!

  When Wind Chimes, Little North, and the aces of Mu Clan placed their attention on these people and as these elites from the enemy forces continuously died, the enemy momentum at the backyard quickly came to a halt!

  Chapter 745 - The Coastal Area at the South

  "They're prepared to attack our elites one by one! All Dragon Sect elites, return and defend yourself! Towering Palace members, protect them!"

  When they saw that the advantage they built had come to a screeching halt and that the forces Mu Clan reorganized had started showing signs that they will seize control over the backyard once more, Vast Heaven continuously fired Six Pulses Divine Sword and disrupted the battle situation while he shouted orders to retreat.

  At the same time, Mu Clan had already regrouped for battle and launched their second wave of offense!

  With whistles that could topple mountains, all of Yangzhou City descended into a loud sea of sound formed by the cries of murder. Firelight surged into the sky, and the clashing of weapons could be heard. Arrow showers sliced through the sky, and the frequency in which it happened caused countless people's souls to shudder.

  Silver Wolf stood on the roof and continued to have his brothers from all around him fight against Towering Palace and Class One Hall's charges in an orderly fashion. He was not at all affected by the gradually increasing number of deaths and wounded.

  Right from the start, he knew that this night will be very difficult!

  Deaths and casualties cannot be avoided.

  But since the moment they started fighting, the frequency in which Mu Clan's members were injured or died was not high, and it was still acceptable.

  Mu Clan's casualties might have already reached more than one hundred, but they had caused nearly two thousand deaths to Towering Palace and Class One Hall.

  Besides, there was always scale weighing the losses in Silver Wolf's heart!

  He knew clearly that there were only about ten people who could truly threaten Mu Clan.

  As long as they could kill these people, the others were not a problem. Even if they had to fight against swarms of enemies, as long as they continued taking in medicinal pills, the thousands of great fighters in Mu Clan might not be at a disadvantage.

  Hence, even though Towering Palace and Class One Hall tried to increase the pressure on the branch and launched the second wave of offense, Silver Wolf remained unperturbed. He gave calm orders in a composed manner.

  Even with Vast Heaven's commands, the Dragon Sect elites and Towering Palace elites at the backyard had drawn back a little, and they were all blocked by Little North's swift kills.

  But their actions led to a chance for Wind Chimes to launch AOE attacks!

  The elites from Mu Clan were gathered together in comparison. They fought against Vast Heaven and the others as they pushed forward, and they blocked them outside their defense line firmly!

  Waves of powerful sound blades shot forward from the zither strings, and the sword qis from Six Pulses Divine Sword were destroyed in the air. The remaining force continuously crashed against the Dragon Sect elites in the area.

  Arrow showers moved like locusts, and most of them killed the Towering Palace elites who shot forward from behind the enemy lines.

  Vast Heaven and his group might have occupied half of the area in the backyard, but when they had to face Mu Clan's tenacious resistance and the demonic sounds that traveled everywhere, they still felt endless pressure.

  "AH!"

  A scream of pain rose. A blood red lightning bolt quickly returned gold in the crowd before it returned to Little North's bamboo tube in a flash.

  Little North smiled smugly. "Seventh!"

  He put away the bamboo tube, and Little North hid himself in the crowd once more.

  He had managed to kill at least seven elites with unknown identities in this assasination, along with a similar number of Towering Palace elites.

  But there were still a lot of Dragon Sect elites remaining, and he could not approach Vast Heaven and the others as well.

  The Mu Clan members who had to fight against Vast Heaven and the others faced the greatest pressure! Sword qi flew everywhere, and the weapon shadows and lights had practically gathered together to turn into a meat grinder.

  Most of the Mu Clan elites who died died in their hands.

  If it were not because of how good their equipment were and how they took turns to take up the task of defending the branch, perhaps there will be even more deaths!

  "Use Origin Leopard Pills!"

  Silver Wolf saw how urgent the situation was from the roof. Wind Chimes' demonic sounds had gradually lost their element of surprise, and then, Towering Palace's line beg
an to gradually push forward once more. He quickly turned his head around to give his orders.

  "Archers, get ready!"

  The archers who were tasked to protect the hall, corridors, and roofs around them brought up their powerful bows and nocked their arrows.

  Whoosh!

  The arrows flew into the crowd from above like a violent storm!

  *****

  Since night until day, more than one hundred people had joined Happy on the empty government-made road. They charged down like the wind, and with loud thundering rumbles, they headed east.

  On the way, the elites from various branches in the south will follow them.

  Even though they did not receive any notification from Mu Clan, these people still joined Happy's team on their own. These people were elites from the cities in the south, and they had friends or comrades who were sent to Mu Clan's branch in Yangzhou City. They, too, know just how urgent the situation was in Yangzhou.

  Happy could not refuse these people's requests, and it was especially so when he received messenger pigeons telling him that Class One Hall's people had already publicly worked together with Towering Palace under Blood Robes to attack Mu Clan's branch. While he was on his way, Happy's expression grew darker and grimmer.

  He continued releasing order after order while on horseback.

  Thunderous Battle also began working nonstop while he was at Mu Clan's headquarters, which was thousands of miles away in Baokang.

  With Happy's reminder, he frequently mobilized their forces and the forces from their allied sects to head to the borders of Mu Clan's territory and release warnings to prepare for battle.

  Dozens of elites from the branches who were close to Class One Hall in the north and Towering Palace in the east had been fully mobilized. While they increased their guard and entered battle preparation, with the help from many sects, they kept a tight surveillance over the mobilization of forces from Class One Hall and Towering Palace's branches.
