Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  This was something Happy had already guessed Barren Murderer would do while he was outside. He knew that Barren Murderer would definitely investigate the people who released the smoke bombs in Dragon's Gate.

  However, he did not expect that Wind Assault Tower would fail in their operation so quickly and so completely. Class One Hall had even launched their counterattack at the same day of the attack.

  Right now, all fourteen major sects had betrayed Wind Assault Tower and left the alliance.

  Even Head Hunters and the various factions of power had either been deceived by Dream Clouds or avoided danger by willingly going along with the flow and keeping silent. The situation was incredibly urgent, and he did not have time to talk in detail with Tea Words.

  [Tell me all that you know. Uncle Sword might be a slick and sly person, he should know that he should cut off all escape routes for himself. The proof that Class One Hall is working with Wild Wolves has been revealed since a long time ago, and it's impossible for him to completely offend Wind Assault Tower.]

  [That's right. This time, he only betrayed Beautiful Robes Faction. He also told me that he only gave up a portion of our people. I've already told that group of people to stay in Dragon's Gate and not to go out,] Tea Words replied.

  Happy then asked. [Well, at least he's sensible. Were you in such a hurry to tell me this?]

  [Also, Barren Murderer has led his people back to Beijing, but the group of top-class elites did not go back. The people from Assassin Hall and Heaven's Music Sect have disappeared without a trace.]

  [I know where they went. Barren Murderer led his group out of Beijing to attack me, but there's also a possibility that he's the backup prepared to fight against Wind Assault Tower. If my guess is correct, these people will definitely split up to head to nearby cities and cause Wind Assault Tower trouble.]

  [That's terrible news.]

  [Yup, it's terrible.]

  Happy and Tea Words had come to the same conclusion.

  [Once Wind Assault Tower is in a precarious situation and Evil Emperor descends in the Chinese server, Class One Hall will unify the Chinese server, and Wild Wolves will officially control this place.]

  [It'll be even harder for you to take revenge, and Beautiful Robes Faction will have a much more difficult time in the game.]

  [That's why Wind Assault Tower cannot fall! Stay in Dragon's Gate to continue being in contact with Uncle Sword. This person can still be used.] Happy's firm words showed his resolution.

  [Do you want to attack Class One Hall or help Wind Assault Tower? You must be careful! Dream Clouds has hidden herself too deeply!] When Tea Words saw how resolute Happy was, he asked.

  Happy tore the letter, and instead of replying, he said, "I'm choosing both."

  *****

  At the same time, Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wind Chimes had already returned to Wandering Know-it-all's mansion.

  All four people's expressions were stern, and there was deeply rooted worry in their eyes.

  Phantasmal Shadow could not hold back from speaking, "Right now, the situation has turned incredibly grim! At the very least, we can be certain that eight sects out of the eighteen sects are forces of power Dream Clouds has fostered. Aside from the strength Class One Hall displayed, she also used Yuan Zhixiong's pitiful ruse to deceive far too many people. Before we have concrete proof, it's very difficult for us to summon enough people to attack Class One Hall."

  "This woman is terrifying indeed!" Wind Chimes was still a little fearful even now.

  She was not just afraid of the ambush that instantly injured her severely while she was outside the headquarters, but also the scheme and the strength Dream Clouds revealed in one grand moment.

  Class One Hall had shown a force that no one could hope to stand up against.

  One Emperor never said anything. He just stared at Wandering Know-it-all sternly while he held his Universe Secrets Inkstone. His gaze was profound. No one knew what he was thinking about or what he was waiting for.

  Wandering Know-it-all just continued using his Universe Secrets Inkstone to make readings.

  This lasted for more than ten minutes, and his expression just turned grimmer.

  In the end, he shrugged in front of the trio's solemn gazes, smiled in anguish, and sighed long and hard. "What a joke. I have always believed myself to be able to read everything. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to tell what is going on right under my nose."

  "Is the situation so bad?"

  Wandering Know-it-all s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and answered, "At least twelve Beijing sects have close connections with Dream Clouds' higher ups, and right now, only four are relatively innocent. Once this news spreads, perhaps the remaining four won't dare to work with us to fight against Class One Hall anymore."

  "Twelve sects in Beijing… That's practically the same as Class One Hall controlling two-thirds of the elites in Beijing. If your reading is correct, right now, fighting against Class One Hall isn't our main problem. Our main problem is how to protect ourselves…" Phantasmal Shadow's expression was incredibly sour.

  Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes looked at each other and nodded slowly.

  Phantasmal Shadow was right.

  Right now, since they had proven that at least twelve Beijing sects were Dream Clouds' supporters, the situation turned out to be even worse than they imagined.

  Based on Dream Clouds' personality, she might take the initiative to attack and deal with Wind Assault Tower beforehand. Instead of taking a defensive position, she would now be in the offensive.

  One Emperor finally spoke, "Evil Emperor will only need fourteen days at most to enter the Chinese plains."

  Once he said that, Wandering Know-it-all and the other two's expressions turned even more unpleasant.

  "Right now, what we need to do is not to defend ourselves or handle Class One Hall's attacks. If we do that, the Chinese server will end, and we'll be just like the other countries. We'll just end up as tools for Wild Wolves to get money."

  When he said this, an aggressive sword will surged into the sky from his body.

  "Since Wind Assault Tower can no longer attack Class One Hall, I'll use my own method to weaken Class One Hall!"

  After he said that, One Emperor left Wandering Know-it-all's mansion without turning back.

  None of the trio tried to stop him.

  At that moment, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings and landed in front of Wandering Know-it-all.

  "That brat is finally here."

  Wandering Know-it-all released a long sigh.

  At the very least, there were still two top-class elites who could pose as a threat to Class One Hall.

  Chapter 1018 - Myth Realm Elites as Sparring Partners

  As the forces from Beijing retreated and Wind Assault Tower's plan to destroy Class One Hall was completely destroyed. For a period of time, Beijing faced a sea of changes.

  Within just one day, the Chinese plains witnessed a storm.

  Everyone knew that Class One Hall had managed to survive through their most difficult period of time. In fact, some people had begun spreading rumors in Beijing, saying that of the eighteen sects, most of them were forces of power Class One Hall's master, Dream Clouds, had cultivated.

  For a period of time, while those who suspected that Class One Hall and Wild Wolves were working together had various ideas in their heads, they did not dare act recklessly because of this intimidating force.

  Just when everyone thought that there would not be war between Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall anymore, a news that caused multiple people's hearts to tremble came from Beijing.

  One Emperor had targeted Heavenly Heroes Sect, which was the first to betray the alliance, while both sides laid dormant. With just one slash, he killed multiple Heavenly Heroes Sect members and charged into its headquarters.

  Boom!

  During the fight where Class One Hall's headquarters was surrounded, everyone had ignored One Emperor's re
action.

  During that battle, even though One Emperor was the only one who managed to create any damage on Class One Hall, the main characters were still the two giants of the Chinese server. It was a fight between those two forces of power and those two women.

  One Emperor had originally intended to deliver a massacre, but because of Dream Clouds's methods, he could not use his abilities for fear of injuring his own allies.

  This was especially so later on. When the leaders of the fourteen sects announced that they were going to withdraw, it made him feel incredibly aggrieved, and he completely lost the chance to attack.

  This battle should be the one where One Emperor came out the gloomiest.

  He had anger and gloom burn in him, but he could not vent his frustrations.

  Heavenly Heroes Sect could only be considered to be unlucky. It was his fault to be the most conspicuous, and he just had to be the vanguard among the fourteen sects.

  Even though the sect had plenty of top-class elites and countless first-class players guarding the place, along with more than twenty thousand people in Beijing, when they faced One Emperor coming at them in an aggressive manner and just like a God of Swords who had his sword unsheathed, no one could receive One Emperor's sword glare.

  One Emperor used his own method to show his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in the battle as a counterattack to Dream Clouds' chain of attacks, and at the same time, he was using his own method to warn the remaining thirteen major sects in Beijing.

  Perhaps they had managed to help Class One Hall escape from a disaster this time, but no one could stop the disaster brought by One Emperor.

  One Emperor stood alone in Heavenly Heroes Sect, and those who entered the headquarters died! He used the rest of the time he was not killing Heavenly Heroes Sect members to attack the sect foundation.

  This was the method Happy had used before!

  But One Emperor's actions had angered Heavenly Heroes Sect and Class One Hall!

  Almost at the same time Heavenly Heroes Sect's headquarters was attacked, a group of extraordinary elites appeared in Anyang, which was quite near to Beijing.

  Under this group of elites' lead, more than ten thousand Class One Hall elites easily slaughtered their way into Wind Assault Tower's branch.

  Thousands of people perished!

  At the same time, another group of people appeared near another city and also destroyed Wind Assault Tower's branch.

  Later on, evidence showed that the two groups of people were the group of elites whom Barren Murderer had led into Dragon's Gate.

  *****

  "One Emperor might have destroyed Heavenly Heroes Sect's headquarters, but Class One Hall immediately retaliated and destroyed two of Wind Assault Tower's branches."

  "Wind Assault Tower is going to be in trouble now."

  "Isn't it?"

  Many people began talking about this in the game.

  Everyone could tell that this time, Class One Hall had decided to place the responsibility on Wind Assault Tower. Since One Emperor attacked Heavenly Heroes Sect, she would destroy Wind Assault Tower's branches.

  Both sides suffered losses, but it was clear that Wind Assault Tower suffered even more!

  They lost two branches, and more than one hundred thousand elites were killed. It was as if the soldiers placed in the branches were just decorations, and unless their headquarters sent reinforcements, there was a long period of time where they would just be suppressed by Class One Hall.

  At the end of the day, under Class One Hall's forceful suppression, One Emperor had to slow down on his rhythm of attacking the remaining twelve sects in Beijing and leave the place. He had to first get rid of the elites who were scattered outside Beijing. As long as this group of people did not die, more of Wind Assault Tower's branches would face disaster.

  [Happy, don't you intend to do something?]

  At this moment, Happy appeared in Wind Assault Tower's prison while he remained hidden.

  Wandering Know-it-all's messenger pigeon arrived.

  Happy sighed in resignation. While he ordered the Myth Realm elites in the branch prison to attack him using fist-generated wind, he replied, [I've already done what you asked me to. You know the current situation well. Even if I attack, within half a month, it's impossible for me to severely damage the twelve sects in Beijing. Their headquarters is like Five Venoms. Even One Emperor will need to spend half a day fighting against them. It's not that easy to destroy them. Besides, it won't be of any help in the fight against Evil Emperor half a month later.]

  The thing Happy mentioned he had already done naturally meant that he had already stirred up the fire against Class One Hall.

  But the situation right now was different.

  To weaken Class One Hall's strength and whittle down Dream Clouds' momentum, One Emperor had to travel everywhere.

  Phantasmal Shadow was already at her wits' end to set up the defenses for Wind Assault Tower's branches.

  [Happy, I know that I'm going overboard by making these requests, but we can't just do nothing! Half a month later, Evil Emperor will arrive, and if Class One hall remains as strong as ever, Wild Wolves can absolutely destroy Wind Assault Tower's headquarters with no problem, and they can completely take over the Chinese server! At that time, not only will the Chinese server fall, you will also have a hard time taking revenge.]

  Wandering Know-it-all wrote earnestly to persuade him, hoping that Happy could walk out of Wind Assault Tower's prison.

  [It's precisely because I know that the situation is bad that I came to Wind Assault Tower's prison. Or else, why do you think that I must choose Wind Assault Tower's prison for its three Myth Realm elites?]

  Wandering Know-it-all was a little lost.

  Happy explained, [Even if I go out right now, it's very difficult to cause any splash in Beijing. Class One Hall has plenty of elites, and they will not easily give me the chance to destroy the headquarters of the twelve sects. It's also impossible for us to change the power balance between Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall when Evil Emperor arrives in the Chinese server. If that's the case, why not think of another way? Why shouldn't I seize the time to become stronger?]

  [Half a month?] Wandering Know-it-all figured out certain things from Happy's letter.

  Happy answered, [That's right. Half a month. Even though I might not be able to challenge Evil Emperor within half a month, once I completely master Tendon Changing Classic, Dream Clouds might not be able to use her tricks to trap me. Stopping me is also basically impossible for her.]

  Wandering Know-it-all's tone changed. [Your Tendon Changing Classic is just at Level 93.87. You might not have enough time to rush to Grandmaster Realm.]

  [It's originally not enough, but now, since there are three Myth Realm elites over here, I think it's more than enough!]

  Happy's words caused Wandering Know-it-all to be surprised and delighted.

  As of right now, Happy's strength had already reached an astonishing degree.

  He could fight against three Wild Wolves alone, could destroy Five Venoms' Ten Thousand Poison Matrix, even escape unscathed when he was surrounded by dozens of top-class elites in Dragon's Gate while he was locked down by Fatal Flying Mace. Even One Emperor gasped in astonishment at his growth, and he even mentioned directly that Happy already had the strength to become his opponent.

  If things were just as Happy mentioned and that his strength would increase by leaps and bounds after his Tendon Changing Classic reached Grandmaster Realm, perhaps on the day Evil Emperor arrived in the Chinese server, Happy would give Wandering Know-it-all another surprise.

  Wandering Know-it-all was still a person who could hold back during critical moments, so he gritted his teeth and wrote, [Alright! I will no longer bother you for the next half a month. At that same time, I will tell Phantasmal Shadow to give you as much space as possible and not bother you in your training. But on the day Evil Emperor shows up in the Chinese server, I hope that you can appear.]

&nbs
p; [Don't worry, I will.]

  Happy tore apart the letter in his hands, and a violent rumble from a fist-generated wind came charging over.

  Bang!

  He was struck in the c.h.e.s.t.

  A powerful force sent Happy flying away, and he was pinned against the wall.

  He was up against the wall for two full seconds. Then, Happy slowly slid down from the wall under the Myth Realm criminal's cold gaze.

  "Cough!" A mouthful of blood splayed on the ground.

  The derisive look in the Myth Realm criminal's eyes became even obvious.

  However, Happy just ignored it. Once his feet landed on the ground, he wiped off the blood from the corners of his mouth in a relaxed manner and s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath before he returned to stand in front of the Myth Realm criminal. He said calmly, "Again!"

  Bang!

  Before his voice even faded away, Happy's body had once again been sent crashing against the wall violently.

  This time, his injuries were even graver. Happy felt as if his bones were both about to fall apart.

  "Darn it… As expected, after I remove all my equipment, the attack is even more insane than withstanding an attack from Empress Yin, who's at the peak of Myth Realm."

  Happy cursed while he quietly enjoyed the feeling of Tendon Changing Classic healing his body. His true qi instantly circulated through his body, and his injuries were largely reduced.

  Thud!

  Under the Myth Realm elites' slightly surprised gaze, Happy once again returned to his original position.

  "Continue."

  The Myth Realm elite finally cast Happy a glance.

  But the ending did not change.

  Happy was once again pinned against the wall!

  But every time Happy slid down and even though he would cough up a pool of terrifying blood on the floor, he would soon arrive in front of the Myth Realm criminal as if nothing was wrong with him and continue receiving his attacks. He was just like a c.o.c.kroach who refused to die.

  The Myth Realm criminal's expression turned more solemn each time Happy stood up.
