Sword Among Us c1-1268

  'It's too fast!'

  The entire circular area of six and a half feet was locked down by the sword glare. It was the same to him regardless of whether he dodged or did not dodge it.

  He hesitated for one second, and he was already struck at the forehead by a thrust!

  Thud!

  The vice sect master's corpse fell in front of Clear Music.

  She s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath, and she seemed to finally be able to regain a little focus in her dazed eyes, but when she raised her head to look at Happy, she could only see his back while he retreated into the crowd.

  "Why didn't you kill me?! Why?!"

  Clear Music shouted angrily in the direction where Happy left.

  Even the Dragon Sect elites had been personally killed by Happy, but Happy never spared her a glance.

  Happy's attitude caused her to sense that he was looking down on her.

  She vaguely heard Happy's voice coming from Yangzhou's direction.

  "Because someone will be coming for your life."

  Chapter 768 - Too Late!

  As the Towering Palace members were made to retreat repeatedly outside Yangzhou City, Happy's act of killing a group of Dragon Sect elites and a group of Towering Palace elites aggressively spread out in Yangzhou City. The people from Towering Palace could not organize any sort of force outside the city to fight back at all.

  Mu Clan's members and Wind Assault Tower's members gathered together to form a team of more than two thousand people. They had an aggressive presence, and they rode into the city on their horses without stopping once to rush straight to Towering Palace's headquarters.

  Rumble…

  The Towering Palace members had already returned to their city and went to their headquarters to defend it.

  Withing the headquarters, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the others had already set up their formation to wait for the people from Mu Clan. The people outside and inside the headquarters already had their weapons drawn and were ready for battle. The atmosphere around them was heavy.

  No one would ever expect that life would be so full of ups and downs that it would catch people by surprise.

  Last night, tens of thousands of Towering Palace members surrounded Mu Clan's branch, and they had been matchless in strength.

  Right now, their enemy had turned the tides around and went to attack their headquarters. They were even forced to switch to defense!

  As an endless stream of Towering Palace members charged to their headquarters from outside, a loud ruckus and the sound of horse hooves swiftly closed in on the empty square outside Towering Palace.

  No one said anything.

  Shangguan Lian and the others had frowns quickly form between their eyebrows. Their archers swiftly drew their bows, and their expressions were very stern.

  The sound of horse hooves never stopped!

  Rumble! Rumble!

  It was getting closer and clearer!

  The Towering Palace members outside could not the enemies from moving forward at all. Pained screams rose frequently, and everything was in chaos.

  Boom!

  Their door was cut in half by a dazzling sword force. The door latch was broken, and the door was sent flying in violently by a great inertia.

  A black Hoof Shadow raised two of its hooves into the air. On its back was a young man in faint blue warrior clothes. They appeared on the stairs leading to Towering Palace's entrance, and very soon, all eyes were gathered on them.

  The young man on the horse's back surveyed the area with a cold and awe-inspiring gaze. The group of tense Towering Palace members s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths, and they forgot to release their arrow for a short period of time.

  All of them just stared at the young man who got down from the horse with dumbfounded expressions!

  "Why are you just staring?! Fire!"

  A few Towering Palace elders standing across the young man in the hall looked as if they saw something incredibly frightening. They quickly gave their orders in surprise.

  Once those shouts rose, the people in the headquarters finally snapped out of their daze.

  They released the strings!

  The arrows flew at him from all sides like a shower!

  The young man smiled faintly. He took a step forward and crossed thirty-two feet forward in an incredibly abstruse manner. An invisible qi flow quickly gathered around him.

  The arrows that were flying in the air and those that had arrived in front of his face were led around by a suction force that appeared out of the blue. They circled around the young man swiftly.

  Whoosh!

  That large group of arrows instantly changed their direction and shot toward the dense wave of Towering Palace members at an even faster speed.

  An arrow shower rained down on the people.

  Pained screams rang endlessly.

  The people right in front of the young man were instantly struck with misfortune. Their body fortifications were immediately shattered, and they were shot full of arrows.

  When they saw this, the people behind them no longer dared used their bows and arrows.

  "Happy, stop! We admit defeat for this war, and Towering Palace will compensate all of Mu Clan's losses."

  When they saw this, Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing understood that Happy's strength had already reached an unimaginable height, and they could not hope to fight against him. Towering Palace no longer had any hope of turning the tides around. If they continued fighting against him, they will only affect Towering Palace's core.

  Happy ignored them and continued walking into the headquarters. He said two words tersely, "Too late."

  Indeed, when Towering Palace worked with Class One Hall to declare war on Mu Clan, they did not stop their palace masters.

  When Towering Palace attacked Mu Clan's branch, they did not stop them.

  When Towering Palace destroyed Mu Clan's branch and chased after Silver Wolf as well as the others, they did not stop them either.

  Right now, they only popped out when Towering Palace was in a precarious situation in hopes that Happy will spare, but things will never end in such a pleasant manner in the world! Happy will naturally not show them any sort of cordiality. He swung his longsword, and a dazzling sword force drew a few streams of blood when it mowed down the crowd.

  "Why are you still talking to them! Attack, all of you!"

  The elders on the stairs shouted in fear and anger, but before they could finish speaking, they were cut in half by a sword glare that came charging at them.

  "I'll be taking Towering Palace's headquarters today."

  He only heard pained screams rise nonstop around him.

  Happy alone had managed to destroy the formation of arrows that Towering Palace had prepared for him in less than half a minute with just one Shifting Stars. Then, he threw Towering Palace's defense line into utter chaos.

  Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing were full of anxiety while they watched from afar.

  With their strength, they could tell that Happy was currently even stronger than when he first came here, and he was absolutely not afraid of being surrounded by thousands of Towering Palace members, because no one could harm him anymore…

  Every time he attacked with the sword, Happy could easily take away at least seven to eight people's lives.

  Happy's sword technique was too fast, so fast that Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the rest did not dare approach him.

  "Kill them!"

  Happy had completely thrown a few of Towering Palace's defense lines into chaos. When he slaughtered his way to the stairs leading to the meeting hall, an enraged shout rose from outside. It was from Silver Wolf, who had been acc.u.mulating his anger for a long time. He personally led the group outside to charge into the headquarters with a bang.

  The people behind Happy had just turned their heads around in panic when blood bloomed on their c.h.e.s.ts, and right when they met the people from Mu Clan, they were already killed.

  Mu Clan'
s elites pounced in with the ferocity of tigers and wolves!

  They were easily like a hot knife cutting butter!

  "Little North, bring our brothers and sisters to destroy the headquarters' foundation! Leave the people here to me!" Silver Wolf charged in hastily and began killing as well as pushing forward without any fear. He also shouted his orders in the crowd, and no one could stop him while he pushed forward.

  When they saw that Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower's people had also charged in and their front yard was instantly occupied, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the rest were instantly filled with despair.

  "We're done for…"

  *****

  Happy did not stop with the slaughter.

  The deaths of thousands of Mu Clan members caused him to not have a shred of compassion for Towering Palace. He showed no mercy when he attacked, and he did not stop pushing forward. He slaughtered his way from the meeting hall to the atrium.

  On his way, the corpses from the Towering Palace members formed a terrifying, bloody road.

  "All Towering Palace members, hear me! You will now leave the headquarters immediately!"

  A few people suddenly walked out from the atrium, and a familiar female voice tumbled out firmly from Musical Note's mouth.

  Silence fell among the Towering Palace members in the headquarters who had charged forward regardless of the cost to stop Happy. They were stunned and confused for a few seconds.

  Musical Note's shout caused the Towering Palace members to glare viciously at Happy before they retreated out of the headquarters.

  Only a handful of people were left in the large atrium within an instant!

  Aside from Musical Note walking down slowly from the stairs, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and Happy, there was only a ground full of corpses, which number to at least two hundred.

  "I'll give you Towering Palace's headquarters if you want it, but tell me, once you destroy the headquarters, will all of this end?" Musical Note was already suing for peace.

  Happy's heart was as calm as water. He brandished his sword, delivering a few sparks in the process. "From the moment you worked together with Dragon Sect and Class One Hall, Towering Palace no longer existed in my heart!"

  Chapter 769 - Not Resisting, Surprise

  Vicious!

  For the first time, Musical Note sensed a chill that came from the bottom of her heart, and the cause of it was this young man who had not graduated from university and entered the society yet.

  After all, the reason for this entire event was because Mu Clan had boldly stationed themselves in Yangzhou by setting up a branch in Towering Palace, which was why they stirred up disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in Towering Palace and made them want to fight back. Then, as Class One Hall egged them on, all sorts of other reasons caused them to want to destroy Mu Clan.

  But not only had Towering Palace not gained any benefits in their plan to destroy Mu Clan, they had even lost tens of thousands of people!

  As for Mu Clan, they managed to devour all cities at the south of the coastal area in one ago, causing Towering Palace to lose another tens of thousands of people.

  If Mu Clan had not been agitating Clear Music behind the scenes, things would not have progressed to this state.

  Besides, as people who had met each other once because of the official developers and who had communicated with each other, Happy still showed no hesitation when he decided to completely destroy Towering Palace.

  For the first time, Musical Note found that she had underestimated this student who was younger than her by a few years.

  He was nothing like a student!

  His actions showed the ruthlessness of an experienced member of society! His plans were carefully thought through! And he showed no mercy to his enemies!

  'Happy, what a man…'

  Musical Note's c.h.e.s.t heaved. She stared into Happy's eyes. "Even if Towering Palace is in the wrong this time, you've already decided to destroy Towering Palace since a long time ago. Hmph! And the people in the game say that Class One Hall's Dream Clouds, my sister, and I are ambitious! To me, you're the one with the greatest d.e.s.i.r.e for power!"

  Happy ignored Musical Note's accusations and criticisms while he calmly jumped over the Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and Hai Dongqing to land on the roof.

  He looked down from above and surveyed the area. There was no longer anyone inside the headquarters.

  Musical Note's tactic was pretty good.

  By choosing not to fight back at all, it will be easy for them to earn other people's compassion and pity!

  Unfortunately for them, Happy was not the only person who was determined to destroy Towering Palace and get rid of the greatest ally Class One Hall might obtain, who also happened to be a top-class sect with the closest relationship with foreign organizations.

  There was another group of people who hated Towering Palace to the core!

  They were the group of Mu Clan elites who broke out of Yangzhou, and they were led by Silver Wolf.

  When Silver Wolf no longer saw any target he could kill, he cast a glance at Happy, who was on the roof. Then, he gave his order resolutely. "Gather all your firepower and destroy the foundation ASAP!"

  Frequent strikes rang through the headquarters.

  The Towering Palace members protected the area outside warily and allowed the Mu Clan members to destroy the foundation. The shock in their hearts did not fade away even after a long time had passed.

  Once Happy led his group of people to appear in the place, the tens of thousands of Towering Palace members in Yangzhou City seemed to have turned into decorations.

  Fierce and violent qi flows continued to ram against the palace's foundation, and those qi flow came in a never-ending stream.

  Outside the headquarters, countless martial artists who were there to watch held their breaths as they saw a large group of Mu Clan members take turns attacking the foundation that no one guarded, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

  'Does Towering Palace intend to have things end just like this?'

  'Is one of the strongest sects in the Chinese server who has enjoyed a period of glory for a few months going to end like this when they face Mu Clan?'

  The situation inside Towering Palace was very strange.

  All members just gathered around the headquarters with livid but resigned gazes, and they just let Mu Clan's members attack their foundation.

  Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and Hai Dongqing had no weapons in their hands, and they just stood in the atrium.

  Happy placed his hands behind his back while he stood on the roof of the headquarters. He steeled his heart and pretended that he heard nothing around him. He only stared to the north, and his expression could not be seen.

  *****

  As time passed, the defense for the foundation of Towering Palace's headquarters continued dropping, and gradually, it was filled with cracks.

  Mu Clan's men continued to attack diligently, and they never let up in their attacks.

  There were a few times where the people outside the headquarters were prepared to rush in, but they were received by Happy, Silver Wolf, and the others' expectant gazes, along with Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and the others' rebukes!

  Musical Note and the rest knew that even though Towering Palace had the clear advantage in numbers and could control the situation because they had control over the Guanlin Temples in the area, with Happy serving as garrison, the Dragon Sect elites did not have any room to showcase their talent. Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and the rest did not even dare show up at the frontlines. If that were the case, who would dare to try challenge their might? If they went forward, they will just be marching to their own deaths.

  Besides, they might even cause the situation to worsen.

  Musical Note still had not given up yet.

  She hoped that with the destruction of Towering Palace's headquarters and Towering Palace's attitude, Happy will be shaken slightly.

  As long as they manag
ed to affect him a little, Towering Palace will have room to return.

  Happy stood on the roof and watched from above. He could see all of Musical Note's actions, and his heart was filled with contempt.

  During the first provocation, he could forgive Towering Palace because their grudge against each other had not been very deep. Besides, at that time, Clear Music was still rational, and she knew that she could not fight against Mu Clan.

  All this made Happy put on his guard.

  Due to various reasons and considerations, Happy did not attack Class One Hall, but he cannot let this continue.

  When two top-class elites worked together, they could already affect Mu Clan's core.

  Today, he lost one-third of Mu Clan's elites.

  But if this happened again, Mu Clan's core will be completely shaken!

  Happy will not allow such a thing to happen again.

  Towering Palace was already a very unstable and dangerous element.

  The Chinese server… no, it should be said that the future Mu Clan will not want to see a second powerful and ambitious Dream Clouds or Clear Music appear in the Chinese world of martial artists.

  This time, since he already decided to attack, he might as well get rid of all problems!

  As for Class One Hall, he might not be able to mobilize his forces and make them march thousands of miles just yet, but Happy was already planning in secret to pay attention in "taking care" of Class One Hall in the near future to strike down their ego.

  Dream Clouds believed that she could rebuild and reestablish Class One Hall's might just by killing Nine-tailed Fox, which was a creature who had just recently entered Myth Realm.

  What she did not know was that there were already two Myth Realm martial artists who died in his hands.

  Jinjiu and Yinshi were Dharma protectors of the mighty northern clan, and they were both peerless martial artists at the beginning stage of Myth Realm. All their assets were only stronger than Nine-tailed Fox.

  If Class One Hall dreamed about using the fact that they killed Nine-tailed Fox to regain their position at the top of the game, they were merely daydreaming!
