Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  The tens of thousands people made way and could only watch as the people from the four sects returned to the back of the back from another direction. The people from Class One Hall did not dare take action at all.

  Fortunately, the four sects were also a little fearful.

  They did not know what happened during the previous battle. They only knew that Happy had lured a group of Mongolian cavaliers and viciously destroyed Class One Hall's prestige. The cavaliers even managed to kill tens of thousands of Class One Hall members.

  *****

  The people from the four sects charged straight to the main camp that will allow them to exchange their points for rewards.

  The twenty thousand people gathered nearby.

  The black mass of people surrounding them were all Class One Hall members. The atmosphere around them was incredibly solemn and strange.

  The people from the other sects could tell the red spark shining in the Class One Hall members' eyes, and they were terrified. They did not dare get close at all for fear of making them fly off into a rage.

  *****

  "The people from Mu Clan have all returned, but Happy is nowhere to be found?"

  After the battle, Dream Clouds also felt incredibly tired. She had only logged off for a moment, and when she logged in, she heard that the people from the four sects had returned to the camp en masse, and she began to wonder whether Mu Clan had stationed spies among her core members.

  Her face was red with rage. "Do you know what's going on?"

  "The people from Wind and Rain Alliance said that Happy asked them to go back to the camp and exchange their points for military titles."

  "All of them are getting military titles?" Dream Clouds was stunned.

  It had to be known that the acc.u.mulated points could allow them to get martial art manuals, equipment, weapons, medicinal pills, and if they obtained enough points, they can get a 100% chance of refining a weapon to the fourth echelon.

  Happy ordered all his people to exchange their points for military titles that will give them no benefits whatsoever with just one sentence?

  Barren Murderer's expression was sour. "Yes. Based on their words, they gained double points this time, and at least three thousand people collected more than two hundred points, and all of them exchanged it for the title of a 5-man corporal—Hall master!"

  When he reached the latter half of his sentence, Barren Murderer noticed that Dream Clouds had suddenly pushed her hand against her c.h.e.s.t with a pale face.

  "Double points…"

  Dream Clouds began laughing bitterly with a self-deprecating look.

  "More than three thousand people with enough points for a military title… Happy, what a man you are. You plan so far ahead… Because of it, we can no longer try to attack him with no fear on the plains."

  Barren Murderer said nothing but sighed. He had actually already thought about this as well, but he did not expect that Happy will manage to get such a large group of people with military titles so soon.

  In other words, the situation at the plains had become increasingly disadvantageous to Class One Hall.

  Once Happy created an even larger battalion with more people holding military titles, Class One Hall will no longer be the ones who hold the initiative in war, but Happy and Mu Clan, who had a large group of cavaliers in their disposal.

  Dream Clouds and Barren Murderer vaguely noticed that at some point of time, Class One Hall had gradually lost their overwhelming advantage in the territory that brought them the greatest advantage, and they also lost the right to take the initiative.

  Chapter 856 - Priest Xi Yin

  People will need to change to adapt to situations.

  Even though Happy was currently ranked among the top in the world, but due to the countless examples he saw during the three years in his previous life, he was alerted of something.

  Never, ever become dissociated with the main characters in the game.

  Even if he was really good, there were always people who were superior to him in the game.

  In his previous life, there were plenty of great players who quickly died after they showed themselves briefly. Then, they will have to go through a long period of time being nameless, and in fact, there were even those who never had the chance to show their talents again.

  Hence, even though the quest Shi Feixuan gave him this time provided no points or any other substantial reward, Happy still did not dare treat it lightly or be negligent about it.

  Over the past two days, Happy had already gained a vague idea of what the event was.

  This time, the main task for their event at the borders was the war during the day. It was the world for the military rank system and soldiers.

  But at night, all sorts of people will show up. The plains will become the battlefield for countless martial art elites to vie for power. And perhaps, there might be a lot of hidden quests as well.

  If he cast aside all the plot-relevant quests because he was too focused on points, he might lose something great because he was too focused on the small things.

  Hence, he immediately sent letters to Silver Wolf and Thunderous Battle to tell them to rest and reorganize at the camp. Then, Happy and Shi Feixuan moved together, and they headed to the depths of the plains.

  Dozens of corpses twisted in bizarre positions were strewn all over the plains, some were even stacked over each other. It was like hell on earth. Each corpse on the ground had their bones cracked on every inch, and they were like torn rag dolls thrown haphazardly on the ground with torn limbs that were never to be connected with their body again. If anyone took a close look, it will not be difficult for them to discover that each dead person's face was twisted in such a manner that their face cannot be seen clearly anymore. It was clear that before they died, they endured pain that a normal person would not be able to go through, and they passed away in endless suffering.

  And all their suffering seemed to be inflicted by a middle-aged man with average looks.

  He only had a medium build, and he was dressed in a very normal looking long robe.

  His hair was turning gray a little, causing him to hide a little of his subdued but still mighty presence. He raised his chin a little and stared at the direction of the Chinese army from the distance while his eyes shone with a slightly sinister light. No one knew what he was thinking about.

  Behind the person were two men and one woman. They did not even dare breathe loudly as they stared at his back, and they did not dare let their gaze linger on him too long either.

  "Martial Uncle Xi, you scared the friends I brought over."

  Her voice was charming and attractive, and there was a faint, phantasmal tone that did not seem to even be there in her voice. It instantly broke the silence between them, and at the same time, the attention from the two men and one woman were directed from the middle-aged man to another side.

  It was the Witch, Wan Wan.

  She will never be absent when the evil cult showed up.

  The two men widened their eyes and eagerly wanted to have their eyes glued on Wan Wan's face under her veil so that they can admire her beauty thoroughly.

  As for the woman, she had red hair and gave off a seductive air, which was something that was very characteristic of those who walked down the wicked path. At that moment, she used a tentative but jealous gaze to stare at Wan Wan.

  As her junior sister, even though she knew that Wan Wan was only a character in the game and even though she knew that Wan Wan's Great Sky Demon Art had already reached a level where she surpassed even her mistress, Zhu Yuyan, when she saw that her senior brothers' eyes were practically glued on Wan Wan's body, she was still unable to hide the nature that was characteristic of a woman.

  The middle-aged man could not help but release an awe-inspiring huff.

  "Hmph! Wan Wan, stop trying to use your Great Sky Demon Art in front of me. Also, what's the point of you bring these three people along?"

  When the two men and
woman heard this, they froze, but they could only smile wryly and not dare show any signs of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

  The purple-haired man and red-haired woman were naturally the Twin Female and Male Demons, the evil cult successors who recently rose to fame. As for the other one, he came from Mongolia, and he was the strongest player from the Mongolian server, Ralston.

  "Martial Uncle Xi, listen to what you're saying. Those from the younger generation should always come out and see the world, or else, they will never be presentable. That will not be good to the evil cult."

  While she spoke softly, Wan Wan's gaze landed on Ralston, who was built and very large.

  "Martial Uncle Zhao caused a huge ruckus this time, and the Chinese army will have definitely noticed it, which means that they will send people over to check their reconnoiterers, but we don't know just how strong that person is just yet. Why don't you avoid the place for a while and let me as well as these juniors check just how strong the Chinese martial artists are? If we can't handle the situation, we'll let you come out and fight."

  Xi Yin pondered about this for a while. His eyes sparkled, and he nodded. "That's good, too."

  In truth, he was also a little diffident to the thought of fighting against the Chinese martial artists.

  Even though he was a Myth Realm martial artist and was the sect teacher and leader of Affective Annihiliation Dao, the evil cultists were always selfish and will regard their own safety above anything else. He moved and vanished from the spot.

  The two men and woman only saw Xi Yin move and quickly vanish without a trace into the darkness. Their expression instantly changed.

  The red-haired woman took a step forward.

  "Senior sister, what if the Chinese martial artists send a very powerful fighter over and we can't handle that person?"

  The Mongolian, Ralston said nothing at first when he heard this. He just had the corners of his lips curl up quietly and turned it into a cold sneer. "If you're scared, leave."

  The purple-haired man glared at him in a foul mood. A faint and black qi flow quickly formed on his palm. "Shut your trap! Do you think that the Chinese martial artists are like you and are all jacks of all trades? I'm telling you, any person on Dragon Rank in the Chinese server can defeat you."

  The red-haired woman also stared at Ralston hostilely.

  "Is it?" Ralston moved his sturdy body, which was as built as an iron tower. Each step he took made it seem as if the power of a thousand tonnes was contained in him, and he gave off a very steady feeling, making it seem as if he cannot be pushed down.

  "Why don't we fight? Whoever loses will back down from this quest." Ralston grinned.

  "Do you think I'm scared of you?!" The purple-haired man had already perfectly finished forming a black seal. Waves of demonic aura rolled off him, and his ferocity as well as aggression were completely revealed.

  When she saw that the two men were about to start fighting because their opinions differed, Wan Wan moved in between them at the opportune moment.

  "Alright, stop. You and the lass are both part of the evil cult, and Ralston is Hu Bilie's greatest warrior. We're all on the same side, don't disturb the harmony between us now."

  Right when she finished speaking, the four people heard clear gallops coming from the slope far behind them. A few torches illuminated around ten Chinese martial artists, allowing the four to see these people.

  The person in the lead had a face as smooth as jade, was incredibly handsome, and also possessed an extraordinary presence. The people behind him seemed like his subordinates. They were all built and also possessed outstanding presences.

  The Twin Female and Male Demons had their expressions change slightly. They seemed to have recognized the status of the handsome man on the horse.

  The group of people rushed near Wan Wan and her group, and their eyes lit up.

  "Wan Wan?!"

  "A Mongolian…"

  The group of people made their horses stop. They were first stunned before they looked at each other and laughed.

  "Haha! Look at us, we've been out hunting for you everywhere, but now, you just came right in front of our doorstep!"

  Chapter 857 - Thirteen Eagles

  Aside from the Twin Female and Male Demons catching everyone's attention because of them recently rising to fame by getting on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank, there were also some great players who rose to power like comets. They were also very powerful, it was just that they kept a low profile.

  The thirteen riders before the Twin Female and Male Demons were known as the Thirteen Eagles in World of Martial Arts!

  Each of them had titles that spread far and wide!

  The handsome man in the lead was Jade Faced Eagle King. He had already perfected his Remote Sword and killed dozens of people from Dragon Rank to secure his spot as one of the top twenty on Dragon Rank.

  The second was Iron-winged Eagle, and he used a weapon known as Seven-winged Phoenix Trident. It was sharp, and its damage was very high. The famous players who died under Phoenix Dances in Heaven had surpassed three digits, and he secured his place as the thirty-seventh on Dragon Rank!

  The third was Blood Eagle. He practiced Blood Palm Print, and had already reached Grandmaster Realm for it. His bloody hands were soaked in poison, and when he attacked, disaster will definitely fall. He secured his spot at the fortieth place on Dragon Rank this year.

  The fourth was Lightning Eagle. His entire focus was on quicksword techniques, and Xiao Shan was once his target. But ever since he personally killed Xiao Shan with just one hit, he gained the title of Lightning Eagle Sword. Not only did the title describe how fast his sword technique was, it was also a symbol of how dexterous he was. He was placed at the 43rd place on Dragon Rank.

  A few among the remaining nine people were on Demon Influence Rank, and some were also on Famous People Rank. They were publicly acknowledged by those in the game, and all of them had strength that did not lose to those on Dragon Rank.

  It was precisely because of the Thirteen Eagles' overall strength that their fame gradually reached the point that they were only second to the four top-class sects. They were among the strongest batch of players in the game, and they were a small party.

  "Elites."

  While the Twin Female and Male Demons were famous and were ranked high on their respective ranking boards, when they faced the Thirteen Eagles, they were still a little fearful!

  When they noticed the thirteen people's hostile gazes, they s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. "My friends from the Thirteen Eagles, we are both carrying out a quest, and we hope that you won't make things hard for us—"

  "Twin Female and Male Demons?"

  When he heard their words, the handsome leader laughed. Without even turning his head around, he said to his brothers behind him. "Did you hear? The Twin Female and Male Demons are here. The purple-haired guy practices Evil King's Undying Seals, and his position on Dragon Rank isn't that much lower than mine. Those who haven't entered Dragon Rank, your chance is here."

  "Forget it. We're not that confident going up against Undying Seals. Let Second and Third go."

  "That's right. Let us handle the woman and the Mongolian."

  Once they finished speaking, two people shot out from the behind the group and twisted their necks fearlessly. They headed to the red-haired woman and Ralston.

  "You're going too far!" The red-haired woman's expression sank, and her tone was a little strange.

  Jade Faced Eagle King just cast a glance at them before he looked away derisively.

  Great Sky Demon Art might be a peerless ultimate technique, but the red-haired woman's level in using that skill was still not high enough. The person attacking her was also Lightning Eagle, and he will be more than enough to handle her.

  The person going up against the purple-haired man was Iron-winged Eagle.

  Both players were quickly engaged in a fight.

  One used Undying Seals. It allowed the user to attack in a bizarre manner,
and the damage was astonishing.

  The other used Seven-winged Phoenix Trident. The weapon could protect the person's upper body when it was stretched out fully. It was a sturdy weapon, and it was a heavy weapon that could be treated as a fan weapon as well. If the user ran into danger, they can perfectly protect themselves. When the purple-haired man's fist landed on him while it was covered by Undying Seals, the damage was minimal. Very soon, they were locked in a fierce struggle.

  The Twin Female and Male Demons were both taken by someone.

  Jade Faced Eagle King did not even spare a glance at the remaining Mongolian.

  Blood Eagle's strength was the third strongest among the Thirteen Eagles, but when it came to one on one fights, he was much more dexterous and adaptable compared to Iron-winged Eagle, allowing him to catch people off guard. When he executed his killing moves using Blood Palm Print, even the gods and demons will run from him. He will not take much time in defeating a Mongolian player…

  When he thought of this, Jade Faced Eagle King instantly had his eyes fixed on Wan Wan, whose curvaceous body was alluring and could wreak havoc to a person's heart.

  "Miss Wan Wan, even though I do not want to hurt such a beautiful woman as you, I cannot leave without any results tonight. I will be taking the two thousand points attached to you…"

  When he said his last sentence, his tone changed.

  The nine people behind him put away their steeds and quickly surrounded the entire battlefield and made sure to trap Wan Wan at the center.

  Jade Faced Eagle King got down from his horse with a calm expression. He left behind a footprint with each step he took and headed slowly to Wan Wan, who remained still. A lavish and thin longsword was drawn from the sheath at his waist, and he made it draw a cold glare that sliced at the air under the night sky.

  Wan Wan did not seem to have noticed the fact that she was surrounded by ten martial artists. She stared at Jade Faced Eagle King calmly and revealed a smile that could make people drunk from it.
