Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  Countless sword glares immediately fused together until there were only nearly one hundred of them remaining. They formed waves of sword qi that could pierce through metal.

  Right before the Class One Hall members' panicked and disconcerted gazes, those waves of sword qi shot through their bodies at lightning speed.

  "URK!"

  A Class One Hall member had his head covered in cold sweat. While he was covered head to toe in armor, he activated his body fortification and paid close attention to the sword qi around him, but because of it, he overlooked the attacks from the Mongolian cavaliers around him.

  His throat was then pierced through by a sword qi that came immediately after the hatchet!

  One died!

  And another!

  And another!

  The Class One Hall core members around the first who died all died in the same manner.

  Fresh blood poured out of the Class One Hall core members' throats or the center of their eyebrows.

  In the eyes of all those who watched by the side, within just a moment, dozens of people fell to their deaths by their side.

  "You idiots! Pay full attention to fend against the Mongolian cavaliers around you! Ignore Happy! AOE attacks cannot break our body fortifications! Break out of the encirclement at full force!"

  Blood Robes finally saw what was strange about the situation.

  But they did not know that this Ten Thousand Sword Styles cannot affect multiple elites at the same time.

  When the damage was distributed evenly among the waves of sword qi, the damage in them cannot even compare to the damage from a Mongolian cavalier's weapon.

  Happy seized this fact and used the moment the Mongolian cavaliers broke their defense to put an end to this without hesitation.

  However, if he used such a terrifying move, the qi he needed to execute this was also not to be underestimated.

  Blood Robes could see Happy's figure vaguely.

  Happy used hundreds of qi points in his attacks, and his qi realm had resolutely fallen to Mystical Realm. He quickly ate a few medicinal pills and activated Nine Yang Divine Skill at full force to restore the qi he used.

  This was a very good chance to kill Happy, but Blood Robes did not dare go up.

  Even if he was only at Mystical Realm right now, Happy was still very terrifying. Besides, there was a group of Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect elites who were protecting him while they eyed the area around them hostilely.

  Also, this one sword technique from Happy increased the level of intimidation within his name as the strongest player in the world, and the Class One Hall members' fear toward him instantly jumped up by leaps and bounds.

  There were now fewer than one hundred and twenty people remaining in the area!

  They were already in a perilous situation under the pressure from the evil cult elites and the Mongolian cavaliers. There was no way they can free up time and energy to take care of Happy.

  When they saw that the encirclement from the Mongolian cavaliers was shrinking inwards, Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, and the rest of the Class One Hall members were held back by a group of evil cult elites, and they could not break free.

  Dream Clouds knew that it was difficult for her to escape from this disaster, and while she was in the crowd, she shouted. Each of her words were clearly pronounced, and they could send chills to a person's heart.

  "Happy, when Class One Hall's forces get here, I will definitely make Mu Clan be unable to stand in the plains anymore!"

  Chapter 882 - The Mighty Descends on the Plains

  Dream Clouds died in battle!

  Blood Robes died in battle!

  Barren Murderer might have Undying King of Abyss Art and Heaven and Earth Great Shift, which allowed him to move at ease among the Mongolian army, but he cannot escape from Happy's Nine Yang Divine Skill, and in the end, he was also killed.

  All three hundred Class One Hall core members were all killed in one go by Happy and his people, and not a single one of them escaped.

  *****

  Once he packed up, Happy led his people to break out of the encirclement formed by the Mongolian army and caught up with Silver Wolf, who went to Aru City to kill Class One Hall's army.

  Dream Clouds final shout caused slight unease to Happy.

  No matter what, Happy was Class One Hall's master. This time, he had clearly forced her into a desperate situation, and she was irritated. If Dream Clouds truly led all her forces and attacked without regard to everything else, the four sects' situation at the plains might be incredibly perilous.

  But what surprised everyone was Class One Hall's subsequent action, and it even made everyone incredibly perplexed.

  When that large group of people reached the borders of the plains and saw that they were about to enter the ambush zone for the four sects, they noticed it, and they stopped.

  Then, the one hundred and thirty thousand men all left one after another.

  "What's going on? They all ran?"

  Thunderous Battle cried out that it was a pity.

  The other three sects also thought that it was a pity.

  After all, the one hundred and thirty thousand people from Class One Hall were about to die here.

  Even though the four sects only had around twenty thousand people in the place, they already had fifteen thousand cavaliers with them, and they can ensure that they will be able to kill at least eighty thousand Class One Hall members. In fact, they might even be able to kill all of them in this place. All hundreds of Class One Hall elites died, and no one can stop Happy and his group of aces in their footsteps.

  "Dream Clouds is no fool. Once she was killed, she must have definitely gotten information about our operation."

  "Without elites, they will not be able to take the risk."

  "Since they've already left, we'll rest and reorganize our forces on the spot.

  "Rest for a while. When the battle at the plains is about to end, we'll go in and draw an end to this double point event!"

  Happy felt dejected, as if he lost something, but soon, he recovered.

  The battle today provided double points, and it can bring quite a lot of benefits to their sects. They cannot afford to miss it.

  *****

  With All-powerful Medicinal Stone leading his forces to keep a tight watch over Class One Hall's activities in Aru City, the twenty thousand or so people from Mu Clan and the other three sects soon threw themselves into battle.

  In the end, Class One Hall never managed to step into the plains.

  On that day, the flames of war raged until night, and it only ended when the Chinese pulled back by six miles, lost all their supplies, and the Mongolians rang their bell signalling the end of fighting for the day.

  The battle was incredibly devastating.

  The Chinese side lost nearly one million soldiers, and they also lost all their dry food supplies as well as their logistics members!

  As a group of evil cult elites died, they descended into a chaotic battle, and the Mongolians lost more than three hundred thousand cavaliers. Their strength was largely compromised.

  As for the players, some were miserable, and some were frustrated because of the double point event.

  During the chaotic battle, countless people will immediately throw themselves back into the battle once they died and got out of Aru City. This cycle repeated itself, and their points will basically all be reduced to zero every time they died. They did not get a lot of benefits out of it.

  In the end, the heads they collected did not even number to five, and they did not get any rewards.

  Some of the powerful and fearless people were also in the same situation.

  Usually, they will get some points when they rushed to the frontlines, but in the end, they will be killed by the evil cult elites or Mongolian players, which cause them to have nothing at the end.

  Of course, there were a few smart people. They only collected a few points here and there, which allowed them to
get a lot of points by the end. They went for places that showed promise and avoided the places that guaranteed disaster. They obtained quite a lot of points and got themselves military ranks. They also got a lot of points as a reward.

  However, if anyone were to say that there was someone who benefited the greatest from the double point event, everyone will point their fingers at Happy.

  During the course of the war, there were hundreds of elites who got themselves tens of thousands of points, but there was only one person who got a few hundred thousand points—Happy!

  149,630 points!

  He had more than one hundred thousand points ahead of the people behind him…

  Of course, many people did not know that fifty thousand of those points came in the form of a reward when he completed his quest. They also did not know that Happy still wasted a lot of time searching for 1,000-man commanders, 10,000-man commanders, evil cult elites, and those targets who provided a lot of points because of their military titles. He also obtained a lot of refined equipment as an additional bonus, or else, if he only focused on killing his enemies, Happy can actually get another fifty thousand to sixty thousand points.

  The four sects worked together during the double point event, and they were the sects who benefited the greatest. Most of the people who obtained tens of thousands of points came from the four sects.

  All twenty thousand people from the four sects received military titles because of this double points event.

  In fact, some people made a rough calculation online.

  They found out that there were more than fifty people in the four sects who had become middle-rank captains!

  If these people from the four sects exchanged all their points for a full team of cavaliers, they can get at least one hundred thousand cavaliers.

  However, after this double point event, the subsequent news caused many players who obtained military titles and sharpened their weapons because they were vying for battle to be gloomy for a long time.

  Both sides lost their supplies, and over the next period of time, neither army will continue sending forces over to test the other side's strength.

  Now, the war was in the hands of the Chinese and Mongolian players.

  Also, because of this, the effectiveness in which they obtained points instantly decreased by a large margin.

  If the players wanted to get points, they will have to venture deep into enemy territory, and they will have to fight against Mongolian players in highly dangerous territories to get only a handful of points from the cavaliers those players owned.

  *****

  Over the next few days, Class One Hall did not enter the plains, and this finally caught a few attentive people's attention.

  They noticed that during the day of the double point event, Class One Hall did not join the battle, and later on, most of the people from Aru City left. The remaining people did whatever they should do, showing no intention of continuing to fight tooth and nail on equal grounds with Mu Clan and the other three sects.

  Some rumors started circulating in World of Martial Arts.

  Class One Hall was completely defeated by Mu Clan, and now, they had already given up totally on the Emperor's Announcement event on the plains.

  In fact, there were even people who said the end for Class One Hall was nigh.

  Once the Emperor's Announcement event ended, Mu Clan might begin marching north to expand their territory!

  This information was originally not very reliable, but as Mu Clan and the other three sects began to mobilize tens of thousands of powerful cavaliers on the plains, many people began to believe those rumors.

  The tens of thousands of cavaliers from the four sects had now become the main force in attacking the Mongolian camp.

  Every morning, they will always split up into four different armies, ride on their horses, declare war, and fight in areas near the Mongolian camp, attack supply routes, kill the scouting soldiers or reconnoiterers nearby, or escort their army's supplies.

  The shadows of the cavaliers from the four sects can always be seen in quest regions that provided more points on the plains.

  The four sects had already used their actions to control the entire plains in their hands.

  Right now, Class One Hall cannot enter the plains no matter how hard they tried to squeeze in.

  Many of the sects on the plains now had to be sensible to do things according to the four sects' will.

  Just like that, everything was at peace. Days went by, and as the four sects went through numerous dangerous battles, they continued to have their points increase by leaps and bounds.

  Very soon, the Emperor's Announcement event will come to an end.

  Chapter 883 - Acc.u.mulate Strength

  Rumble!

  Rumble!

  Deafening horse hooves thundering against the ground even caused the clouds in the sky to be torn.

  More than twenty thousand Chinese cavaliers rode on their horses in frenzy on the plains, and they clashed against twenty thousand Mongolian cavaliers who came charging at them with wind and dust in their wake.

  Almost at the moment they clashed weapons, a dent was created among the vanguards of the Mongolian cavaliers. The Chinese cavaliers bulldozed their way into the enemy fray and began killing the Mongolian cavaliers in a single sided slaughter.

  This sort of situation was completely unimaginable ten days away on the plains.

  The quality and combat strength within the Mongolian cavaliers was much greater than the Chinese cavaliers, and when they met in a direct assault, their ratio in which the Chinese cavaliers died compared to them was always 2:1 or 3:1. This sort of situation where the cavaliers suffered a huge blow in their formation right when they engaged in battle had always only been reflected on the Chinese cavaliers.

  But the scene happening right now completely overturned the current situation in the war.

  Because there was a large group of heavy-armored cavaliers right in front of the Chinese cavaliers, and there was also a group of extraordinarily skilled Mu Clan elites mixed among the cavaliers.

  Once they handed over the weapons that provided the greatest firepower to the heavy-armored cavaliers, the fiercest charges exploded forth, and their ability to kill was completely brought forward. Even the Mongolian cavaliers had a hard time withstanding this violence from the heavy-armored cavaliers and the Mu Clan elites.

  "Haha! You can withstand the encirclement by one major and two evil cult elders? Not bad, Little North! Has your Yellowish-blue Brocade Blue reached the fourth echelon?"

  Right when Silver Wolf's boisterous laughter rose to the air, Little North cried out like a woman who was spied on while she was bathing by a pervert. "Don't come over! Boss Silver Wolf, please don't come over! Show some mercy! You've already obtained four Excellent Refinement Chances, and I need thirty thousand more points to get my third Excellent Refinement Chance, please don't come over!"

  "What the heck? There're only three majors in this quest and ten evil cult elites. Thunderous Battle only killed one major, and you got your third… You've gone overboard…"

  "That's right! Little North, you're so unfair!"

  Before the voices even faded away, Rampaging Dragon, Knife, Momo, and Phoenix Dances charged over like phantoms from the crowd at the back!

  They squeezed into Little North's battlefield and male and female bandits.

  "Why waste your breath so much?! Whoever kills them gets those points!"

  "Stupid Little North, you're the one who keeps stealing my points all the time! There's no need to be polite with him!"

  While they stole his points, they caused a ruckus like rascals.

  In just the blink of an eye, the group of bastards killed the major and evil cult elites Little North found after a hard time. He could only cry fake tears while the group blocked him from the battlefield. In the end, they took away everything without even leaving behind a single piece of gold for him.

  "You're… so shameless!"


  Once that group left like birds fleeing, they left behind Little North to be dumbfounded for a long time while he was filled with sorrow.

  Silver Wolf rode on a huge horse and shrugged, giving off an expression that said that he could not help Little North even if he wanted to.

  Right now, Class One Hall refused to enter the plains, and this place had practically turned into Mu Clan's backyard. It was incredibly easy for them to get the best places for points.

  Their only competitors now were their own members.

  However, Happy made a rule: While they can fight for points, the branch masters and vice branch masters must first kill the majors, 10,000-man commanders, evil cult elders, or any other elites at their level. Once they got rid of all the threats on the battlefield, only then were they able to turn around and fight for those normal Mongolian cavaliers from their friends.

  When they received the points, they can exchange them for items they wanted.

  Happy's decision was naturally made in consideration for everyone, so no one objected to it.

  But it was truly executed, some problems still occurred.

  Because everyone noticed that the high-end evil cult elites and majors will not only provide so many points that they will give points equivalent to killing tens or even hundreds of normal Mongolian cavaliers, there was even a certain chance for them to drop demon vessels, weapons, and martial art manuals. These generals and evil cult elites then instantly became popular targets.

  Even Happy could not escape from this temptation. He threw himself into battle, and during this period of time, he obtained four demon vessel armor that were of rather good quality.

  In this game, the drop rate for demon vessel armor was rather low, and their defense as well as attributes were always much higher than grade one armor.

  As of current, fourth-echelon grade one equipment were not rare items to Mu Clan elites, and only armor at the level of demon vessels can make their blood burn with excitement.

  But Mu Clan currently did not have that much money to refine all these items to the fourth echelon.
