Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  But right when Phoenix Dances heard Dream Clouds' mocking snort, she seemed to have her anger stirred up. She arrogantly put away her Phoenix Wings Trident into her Universe Bag and brought out very heavy golden broadsaber…

  Whoosh!

  Right when the golden saber was brought out, Phoenix Dances flung it casually, and a faint sound of air being sliced unintentionally dug a trench on the plains.

  She did not release any saber glare or pour her qi inside. It was just a normal slash, but it managed to create such an effect, and Dream Clouds instantly had a solemn look in her eyes while she furrowed her eyebrows.

  Dream Clouds said nothing. Naturally, she did not know that this was a divine weapon stolen from the Myth Realm elite, Jin Jiu, who was a forgemaster. However, based on the shine on the blade itself, she could guess that while the ferocity of the saber might not compare to Dragon Saber, it was still a saber where the slashes were difficult to parry, and it was not a normal high-grade divine weapon.

  Phoenix Dances turned her body to the side and lifted the saber with both hands. She stared at Dream Clouds, and the qi from her body instantly changed! A dangerous presence with its aggression restrained slowly spread out as she lifted the saber.

  Chapter 836 - Great Saber Breaker Art Establishes Its Might

  Whoosh!

  Phoenix Dances avoided Dream Clouds' Flame Cloud Saber, which she executed to test her skills. Then, she dexterously turned around and charged forward with short and swift footsteps to quickly reduce the distance between them until they were now so incredibly close to each other that it was dangerous for both of them. She flung the golden saber horizontally.

  A saber glare exploded forth!

  'Perfect timing.'

  Dream Clouds did not panic. She moved away and gave away her chance to attack right then, but at the same time, she prepared to use a palm-generated wind to drain Phoenix Dances' qi…

  "You fell into my trap!"

  But in the end, Phoenix Dances only laughed in a very abnormal manner and switched her tactic midway through. Just when Dream Clouds avoided the saber glare, the light on the saber dimmed before an astonishing presence shot up from Phoenix Dances' body. She stopped swinging her golden saber a little before she switched from a horizontal slash to a vertical slash!

  At the same time, a powerful force shot out from the golden saber, and Dream Clouds, who had been certain that she will definitely succeed in her attack, froze a little in her movements!

  'This is bad!'

  Her expression changed, and it was only then that Dream Clouds noticed that not only was the golden saber a little strange, but Phoenix Dances' saber technique was not any normal technique. It seemed to contain some sort of strange suction force.

  Even though she had only froze for a moment, if she froze at the moment the saber force was about to hit, it will be very dangerous.

  It might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but it actually transpired in one single breath. Without even thinking, Dream Clouds used her right hand as a saber, and her dark gold chain gloves went striking the fatal golden saber with a scorching heat.

  Boom!

  A loud bang rose. Dream Clouds' body flew outwards.

  The attack executed by the golden saber was not very domineering, but the aggression contained in it was enough to make Dream Clouds feel an instant of sharp pain.

  And she had even suffered a setback when she hastily switched her attack. She had to use the momentum to retreat and widen the distance between them to prevent the situation just now from happening again.

  She chased after Dream Clouds like a shadow!

  The golden saber shone brilliantly, and it pushed forward like a turbine, dragging in everything madly in its wake.

  Dream Clouds had a stern expression on her face. While she used the momentum to widen the distance between them, she also quickly attacked with her palms to negate the saber glares that came chasing after her!

  Both of them moved at a similar speed. Dream Clouds could not shake Phoenix Dances away, and Phoenix Dances also could not reduce the distance between them to zero…

  But Phoenix Dances did not act in haste either. She continued to push forward, though she did so by taking each step forward carefully.

  In the beginning, Dream Clouds did not find it a problem. She only counted her lucky stars because she managed to get out of trouble. She thought. 'Phoenix Dances is indeed just a normal student, she's still not ruthless enough.'

  The situation just now could actually determine her life and death because of her momentary negligence and because of her being caught off guard.

  But a pity for Phoenix Dances, because she already lost the chance.

  With how cautious Dream Clouds was, she will naturally not let this mistake happen a second time.

  Dream Clouds laughed coldly in her heart.

  Attacks Like Phoenix Dances', where her saber glares were revealed, will make her use up qi that was several times what Dream Clouds used. Once she ran out of energy, it will be time for Dream Clouds to turn the tides.

  "I'd like to see how you'll handle the situation later."

  Phoenix Dances said nothing. She did not care about what Dream Clouds was hinting. She just continued chasing after Dream Clouds and used her saber glares to restrain Dream Clouds' movements while forcing her to attack to parry her attacks.

  Very soon, they exchanged more than one hundred moves!

  Slap!

  A piercing sound of metal shattering rose.

  Dream Clouds' expression changed swiftly. She felt her hands becoming lighter. Her dark gold chain gloves had shattered out of the blue, and the attack she had been preparing for was suddenly thrown to the air because she could not control her swing.

  Phoenix Dances smiled.

  Under such a frequent wave of abuse from Great Saber Breaker Art, the weapon in Dream Clouds' hands finally shattered completely. Compared to her killing Dream Clouds and making her lose all her points, it was clear that destroying her fourth-echelon divine weapon while she was completely unaware of it was much easier.

  Dream Clouds reacted very quickly.

  At the moment her chain gloves broke and shattered, she turned her hand around and grabbed a tri-colored longsword enveloped by a phantasmal color from her Universe Bag.

  Boom!

  But no matter what, the matter happened too suddenly. Even if she brought out her longsword, she still could not avoid being hit by Phoenix Dances' slash. Her longsword shuddered madly, and she was sent flying away with her weapon because of the shock.

  This time, Phoenix Dances did not continue chasing after her.

  Phoenix Dances stared at Dream Clouds, whose face was pale but did not show a hint of panic. She came to a firm stop and quickly brought out a small, jade green medicinal pill from her Universe Bag. While she stuffed it into her mouth, she stared at Dream Clouds' longsword, which now had a small chip in it because of Phoenix Dances' attack.

  This longsword was clearly not a divine weapon, and it was only a normal fourth-echelon grade one masterpiece.

  In her haste, she had to suffer a full-powered strike from Great Saber Breaker Art, and the results were instantaneous! Her longsword was chipped straightaway, and the valuable fourth-echelon weapon was damaged just like that.

  Based on how Dream Clouds turned pale and scowled after she looked at her sword, Phoenix Dances was certain that Dream Clouds was definitely not in a good mood right now.

  "What a good saber technique…" Dream Clouds stopped thirty-two feet away and s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath before she slowly raised her head. She said slowly and coldly, "I did not expect that you, a little girl who lost to Class One Hall in the past and could not even win against one of my subordinates will move straight into the ranks of a top-class elite in the game right now. You have truly broadened my horizons. Happy is truly Class One Hall's greatest enemy in our lives."

  This was a martial art that could destroy even a fourth-echelon
divine weapon, and there was no doubt that this was an ultimate technique. Phoenix Dances could indeed live up to Dream Clouds' evaluation.

  Phoenix Dances showed how ungrateful she was to Dream Clouds' praise by rolling her eyes. She then enunciated her words clearly with a grave tone, "On the day Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed, I swore in my heart that I will definitely make Class One Hall pay with their blood. Dream Clouds, your era is about to come to an end."

  "Says who? You?" When she heard this, a cold look flashed in Dream Clouds' eyes, and it was as if frost covered her face. "A person's death is nothing, and no matter how strong a person is, no one can control World of Martial Arts. There are certain things where a girl like you won't be able to tell."

  Phoenix Dances said nothing, but she could hear the mocking tone in Dream Clouds' words. She snorted coldly from her nose and mocked her back without backing down in the slightest. "If that's the case, I hope that you will give this university girl a chance to continue listening to your lectures, senior."

  "Aren't you articulate?" Dream Clouds shouted in anger while her expression remained as cold as ice. She flicked her wrist.

  A sharp white glare shot out of Dream Clouds' hands!

  It was a snow-white throwing knife!

  A snow-white light charged past Phoenix Dances' forehead so quickly that before Phoenix Dances could react to it, a tragically beautiful trail of blood trickled down her forehead.

  "Phoenix Dances!"

  Dream Clouds and Phoenix Dances' fight had always been Class One Hall and Mu Clan's main focus since the start of the battle.

  Phoenix Dances had caused Mu Clan's morale to be largely boosted when she managed to continuously gain the upper hand in the situation, but they did not expect that Phoenix Dances will suddenly die, and no one was able to tell just how Dream Clouds attacked either.

  "Phoenix Dances!"

  When they saw Phoenix Dances' corpse slowly fall in front of Dream Clouds, enraged shouts rose and fell on the battlefield.

  The people from Class One Hall instantly felt a wave of pressure crash into their faces.

  Dream Clouds cast a cold glance at Phoenix Dances' gradually blurring corpse. "I've mentioned before that there are many things that you won't be able to touch at your level."

  Right when she finished speaking, the sound of robes fluttering rapidly in the air rose.

  In the next second, a familiar figure that made Dream Clouds' pupils shrink appeared near Phoenix Dances' corpse, and that figure gradually became clear.

  Dream Clouds practically instinctively seized a snow-white throwing knife in her Universe Bag, and she hid it in her sleeve without batting an eyelid...

  Chapter 837 - Tanking Little Li Flying Dagger

  Little Li Flying Dagger never missed its target!

  It was said that all the throwing knives Li Xunhuan threw will contain unimaginable sentience. It had the characteristic of piercing through dimensions and not stopping until its target died. When it was used again, it will still contain great strength. It was a demonic item that could behead someone even when he or she stood among an army.

  If Phoenix Dances died under such a fierce weapon, it made it clear that Dream Clouds was truly angered this time, and when she was forced to a corner, she was forced to bring out her greatest trump card.

  She had revealed her trump card beforehand, and Happy appeared just on time, and all this finally made Dream Clouds panic a little.

  She stared at Happy's back, and she hesitated while she held the Little Li Flying Dagger hidden in her sleeves.

  "Happy!!"

  "Be careful of her hidden weapon!"

  "Phoenix Dances died because of her hidden weapon! Happy, you must take revenge for Phoenix Dances!"

  "...You must absolutely be careful!"

  When more people noticed Happy, Mu Clan's morale was boosted greatly, and the people who were closest to him quickly shouted at him to warn him.

  Before the people from Class One Hall could become happy because of Phoenix Dances' death, Happy's appearance was like a basin of cold water that extinguished their excitement. They did not know whether they should try to kill Happy right now. Everyone had their hearts collectively sink.

  Dream Clouds did not have the time or energy to pay attention to other people's reaction on the battlefield. The timing for Happy's appearance made her hesitate, and she did not know whether she should kill Happy on the spot.

  After all, this was the event region.

  Even though she was fully confident that she can destroy Happy's legend of being the person with the highest amount of war achievements, Happy will still become cautious because of it and be on guard against Little Li Flying Daggers. It was already practically impossible for her to have the chance of catching Happy off guard and killing him with the hidden weapon again in the future.

  She immediately decided to slowly widen the distance between them while she kept her eyes on Happy's actions. She did not dare relax even in the slightest.

  But what made her dejected was that even though the warnings around her rose and fell, Happy did not seem to have heard any of it. From the second he appeared, he constantly kept his back turned to Dream Clouds while he observed the wound on Phoenix Dances' forehead. He did not seem to be wary of her at all.

  Dream Clouds kept quiet while she held her breath.

  Ever since Phoenix Dances, Silver Wolf, Rampaging Dragon, and the others revealed extraordinary abilities, Happy became even greater and unfathomable in her eyes.

  Not only had he continuously become stronger, the top-class elites in Mu Clan also decided to appear on after another.

  Phoenix Dances' strength gave her a warning!

  Happy was not those short-sighted people who only knew how to exercise restraint when it came to using their resources and money. When it came to cultivating their subordinates to strengthen their own faction of power, Happy was not any weaker than her in this regard.

  When she thought of this, Dream Clouds' gaze as she stared at Happy became graver and more murderous.

  *****

  When he noticed the killing intent in Dream Clouds' eyes, Happy quietly moved his gaze away from Phoenix Dances' body.

  Even though he looked very calm, from the start to the end, Happy had been focusing on the circulation of true qi from Dream Clouds' body, along with the murder weapon in her sleeve.

  Little Li Flying Dagger!

  Even though he had Arhat Body protecting him, Happy still did not have full confidence in tanking Little Li Flying Dagger.

  Once Dream Clouds made a move, he will seize the initiative without hesitation and attack first.

  Dream Clouds was not the only one who had Little Li Flying Dagger.

  Right now, what made him hesitate was that during the Emperor's Announcement event, all the players who died in the event region will not suffer any losses except for the loss of their points.

  But once the people who had Little Li Flying Dagger died, they will definitely drop that item, though Happy was not certain whether that was the case during the event.

  The impending conflict between the two made Happy wonder about whether Dream Clouds will drop her Little Li Flying Dagger if he killed her.

  If she did, then he will be considered to have earned something by using his Little Li Flying Dagger.

  But if all items were protected and that hidden weapon did not drop because of it, it will be a waste to kill Dream Clouds with Little Li Flying Dagger. It will be too much of an honor to kill her with this item just to get rid of her meager points.

  As she stared at Happy slowly straightening his body, Dream Clouds spoke with a cold voice that contained no emotion. It was clear that she had already regained her composure. "Happy, let me remind you this. If you have time, pay attention to your people in Mu Clan. There are too many people there who aren't m.a.t.u.r.e. If you don't teach them, this enterprise you built might end up in ruins."

  "Oh," Happy said softly as he slowly turn
ed around. He stared ahead with a calm gaze. "Hall Master Dream, is the imm.a.t.u.r.e person you're referring to Phoenix Dances, who destroyed your fourth-echelon divine weapon and forced you to use Little Li Flying Dagger to turn the tables to win?"

  He stopped talking for a moment and chuckled softly. "I'd like a few more of such people to appear. Then, even if they die in your hands, I will feel satisfied, but it's a pity that Class One Hall still hasn't had these sort of people appearing for you just yet…"

  The underlying meaning was that Happy was mocking Class One Hall for not having such imm.a.t.u.r.e people appearing.

  Dream Clouds fell silent. When she heard Happy not even bothering to hide his mocking tone, Dream Clouds' expression instantly turned unpleasant, and her heart sank.

  Happy's fearless attitude, which seemed to come because he had something providing him strength, made her even more certain that he was not worried about her trump card at all.

  "You don't seem to be sad at all when you see your members die." Dream Clouds' tone changed, and she raised her voice a little to make sure that all the people around her can hear her.

  But this sort of trick was just plain ludicrous to Happy.

  "What's there to be sad about?" Happy's smile did not fade away.

  "If anyone from Mu Clan can do something like Phoenix Dances and destroy a fourth-echelon divine weapon before dying because of Little Li Flying Dagger in the future, I, Happy, promise that I will reward each of you a fourth-echelon divine weapon and an Illusion Life and Death Pill!" He stopped talking for a moment before he suddenly raised his voice. "My brothers and sisters from Mu Clan, did you hear me?!"

  "Clan master, you're awesome!"

  The Mu Clan members responded with a bang!

  The sound waves could stir up even the deaf, and it was so imposing that it instantly caused a great pressure on Class One Hall.
