Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  Young Lonely White brought out a map from his bosom and spread it out on the stone table in the pavilion. He quickly tapped at the four city gates. "Our people have already secured the city gates.

  "And also this place… These places, along with their seventeen headquarters and branches are all under monitor. If Class One Hall mobilizes those forces or does anything, they will not be able to escape from our sight."

  Young Lonely Black added by the side. "We only have around fifty thousand people here, but Happy said that Lovely Land will only be the instigator. We will not be in charge of taking the lead in the attack, that's why fifty thousand people will definitely be enough. Master Wandering Know-it-all, your task is to contact other elites to help us attack Class One Hall's headquarters. We will first target the headquarters of two affiliated sects, and when we've incited all those who share the same goal with us in Beijing, we will first devour the fifty thousand people Dream Clouds left behind!"

  "Doesn't Happy intend to fight Evil Emperor at Lovely Land?"

  When he heard this, Wandering Know-it-all suddenly s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath and put on a surprised expression.

  "Happy won't run from the fight against Evil Emperor. But Happy already said that to prevent unexpected situations from occurring, he has to prepare a backup plan. Even if he loses Lovely Land in this battle, he will still bring down Class One Hall!"

  "Happy also mentioned that if he lost this battle, he would be locked up for one month. If he manages to land a vicious blow on Dream Clouds and buy more time as well as chances for Phantasmal Shadow, then after he emerges one month later, Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land might still be around in the Chinese server. If he didn't, Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land will no longer be around in the Chinese server by the time he comes out. He said that he doesn't want himself to be the reason why the Chinese server ends up in Wild Wolves' hands."

  Young Lonely Black's additional explanation caused Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes to quickly understand Happy's efforts.

  Wandering Know-it-all s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

  Even if he had managed to win against Evil Emperor before, even if he currently had seven hundred thousand Lovely Land members in his hands, even if he had already become the strongest player in the Chineser server, and even if Happy stood at a high spot no one had ever stood before, he never lost himself.

  Now, Wandering Know-it-all could finally understand how Happy managed to arrive at this stage within such a short amount of time.

  *****

  At that moment, Happy received a reply from Wandering Know-it-all while he served as a garrison where Ghost's Domain was. The answer was simple and firm.

  [I won't let you down!]

  Chapter 1099 - Pseudo One With The World

  "How grand."

  Ji Feng and his group stood on a high spot of the wall at the headquarters of Lovely Land and looked into the distance. They saw a large, winding fire dragon swiftly stop at a spot one-third of a mile away. They spread out densely to two sides before they quickly formed a sea of fire that could set the plains ablaze. When they looked over, this scene was incredibly grand.

  However, the headquarters of Lovely Land did not lose to them at all. The headquarters already had one hundred and twenty thousand people gathered in it and around it. With the hall walls protecting them, their defense was strong. Everyone focused, held their breaths, and waited. They looked as if they were an army in a fort that was ready for battle. There was no opening in their defense.

  Countless pairs of eyes were fixed in the same direction.

  Outside the headquarters were two flags, and on it was a person who held a lantern that had great resistance to wind hung over them. The flags were dozens of feet high in the air.

  The flag poles stood tall and proud, and the people who stood at the top of poles faced the raging sea of fire. They did not move and stood tall, like mountains, giving off the air of peerless elites who remained fearless even as they faced an army of thousands.

  One of them was Happy, the sect master of Lovely Land.

  He was also the spirit leader and pillar of support for all Lovely Land members.

  As the only swordsman who had ever defeated and even killed Evil Emperor, Happy was already publicly acknowledged as the strongest player in the Chinese server.

  He was a man with a legendary past, and he danced between life and death everyday before he shoved his way to the top as he fought in countless life and death battles.

  Even though the people from Lovely Land never mentioned it, and even though many of the people in the Chinese server who never mentioned it, everyone knew very clearly just how significant this battle was to the Chinese server. They also knew how great was the current responsibility and duty of the strongest swordsman who stood on the flagpole.

  It was because of this person that Lovely Land could have seven hundred thousand members whose blood sang in their veins for battle.

  At that moment, One Emperor stood not too far away behind Happy on the other flagpole. His purplish black brocade robe still made him look proud and wild, and he was surrounded by a cold chill as well as an aggressive force that made him look like a sword.

  One Emperor's gaze was very calm.

  Even he did not expect that Happy would be able to arrive at this stage.

  Now, he stood in front of himself, right in front of Evil Emperor. In fact, he was a strong player who killed Evil Emperor. At some point of time, Happy's strength had already surpassed his.

  But half a month ago, he had still been wondering whether Happy was strong enough to work together with him to fight against Evil Emperor.

  This feeling was very strange.

  But even he had to admit that when he joined Lovely Land and took up the position as the vice sect master, he had wanted to become closer to Happy and understand him so that he could learn just what sort of person Happy was as well as how he managed to gain this strength, so much so that he was fearless in his attacks even when he was in the capital and broke a law that normal players would not dare touch.

  But Happy's answer was very calm and simple. "It's a pure gamble. If the palace sent a martial artist who was One with the World out, I'll definitely die. Now, I proved that I made the right choice in my gamble."

  "...A gamble?"

  Wandering Know-it-all had searched for Happy yesterday, and he learned that Happy had managed to flee from Evil King after he became One with the World, and he even gained a pretty decent fortuitous event because of it. If that were the case, was that also a gamble?

  No one was this lucky!

  In the end, One Emperor did not manage to come up with a proper assessment of Happy.

  But this time, it would seem like the moment for the wheel of fate had begun spinning once more.

  Who would win?

  One Emperor looked forward to the answer.

  *****

  Crackling fire roared, and it also added heat and tension to the atmosphere.

  Happy's gaze was definitely the best among all these hundreds of thousands of people.

  From the distance, he saw a familiar figure walk out from the crowd.

  Evil Emperor!

  Evil Emperor strode forward in the raging fire, and he appeared very relaxed and calm, but his majestic gait and the profound rhythm in his steps seemed to have synced with the Dao of the world, and in an instant, the heavens and earth fell silent.

  The flames and sound of wind in the area also instantly stopped making any sound.

  And Evil Emperor himself had not even walked 162 feet forward before he seemed to have fused with the world. He turned into a blurry figure that could not be seen clearly, and he looked incredibly mysterious.

  When Happy noticed this scene, his heart trembled a little, and he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

  'Evil Emperor, what a man!'

  He used Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art and managed to imit
ate a presence that was very close to those who were One with the World. During battle, he could fuse with the world, and Happy's spiritual sense lost their effect at that moment.

  "As expected of one of the four amazing books in the world of martial artists…"

  He stood above and watched Evil Emperor walk slowly forward as his body became increasingly blurry and hazy, and Happy could not help but sigh in his heart.

  This time, Evil Emperor's strength had increased by a large margin, and now that Happy's spiritual sense was ineffective, the chances of him winning became lower, because it was very difficult for him to catch up to Evil Emperor with his Body Movement and speed. He could only rely on his ears to listen and determine Evil Emperor's movements, but even that would be barely effective.

  'This'll be troublesome…' Happy smiled a little bit in anguish.

  However, to the others, as Happy continued standing tall and straight on the flagpole, he was like a mountain that did not move, making him appear mysterious and unfathomable, and he did not seem to be bothered by the fact that Evil Emperor was getting closer. He was just as prideful and confident as ever!

  But that was because Evil Emperor was too far, which was why Lovely Land could not sense the changes within Evil Emperor.

  The only other person who managed to sense the changes in him was One Emperor!

  Once One Emperor sensed the profound state Evil Emperor was in after he completely fused with the world, his expression changed, and he could not help but remember the battle one year ago.

  At that time, they were at the city gate. Even though Evil Emperor had been able to fuse with the world, his understanding of this strength and state was not great just yet, and he could not have complete mastery over it. He could only deliver a shock to a person's senses when he stood still, unlike now, where he managed to fuse with the world even as he walked, and his mental pressure was getting stronger. In fact, he managed to produce an even more mysterious and powerful effect—the ability to seize a person's spiritual sense!

  'This is bad…'

  As a supreme elite whose strength was the closest to Happy and Evil Emperor, One Emperor immediately noticed just how tough of a challenge Happy had to face later. He frowned and discreetly moved his lips to send a private and secret message to Happy.

  "Happy, after Evil Emperor's Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art leveled up, he can now produce an even stronger effect. I'm afraid that the power in that attack that shatters space has become stronger. I think that we should attack together. After you, you're just at Moksha Realm right now. If we work together, the world can't say anything about it."

  "Don't need to. My true origin aura can last for a while. We'll see how things go when I truly can continue the fight." Happy tactfully rejected One Emperor's suggestion without hesitation.

  Even though Evil Emperor's strength had increased to an astonishing degree, Happy himself, too, had two killing moves that Evil Emperor did not know about.

  Even a true martial artist who was One with the World could not do anything to him, hence, there was no doubt that only a fool would think that Evil Emperor would be able to defeat him within a short time, considering the fact that he was just in Inaction Realm and had just copied the presence of someone who was One with the World.

  Besides, Happy had another worry in his heart.

  Evil Emperor had died quickly in his hands during the battle outside Beijing, and this had caused many Chinese players to have hope burn in their hearts. Even if he lost, he could not lose too pathetically. If he worked together with One Emperor, that would mean he was admitting that he was weaker than Evil Emperor.

  One Emperor said nothing else, because he knew what Happy was worried about.

  At that moment, Evil Emperor had already reached the area that was 328 feet away from Happy.

  Boom!

  A powerful mental pressure gathered in the air, and the flagpole under Happy's feet shattered with a bang without any prior sign. A loud bang rose, and the flagpole turned into countless sharp arrows that shot to the prideful figure who was now airborne.

  Even from the distance, tens of thousands of people from everywhere saw Happy instantly falling into a dangerous state while airborne. All of them simultaneously held their breaths.

  They did not expect that the battle between these two matchless players would ignite without a word, and Evil Emperor's attack had been mysterious and unfathomable, catching them all off guard.

  Happy was instantly in danger because he was now airborne and had lost all form of support.

  But no one expected that at the moment Happy was caught in danger, he stepped on a wooden shard that shot at him, and as if he jumped on a roof to admire the moon, he easily rose more than thirty feet into the air and had those countless wooden shards fly past where he originally was.

  Right from the start to the end, Happy remained calm. He placed his hands behind his back, and his robes fluttered. Even if he spun in the air to land, he did it elegantly and lightly, and the whole scene spoke of indescribable relaxation and composure.

  Evil Emperor said nothing, but when he saw this scene, his expression turned a little dark.

  He originally wanted to break the flagpole and make Happy be caught in a slightly difficult situation so that he could instantly break Happy's morale, but he did not think that Happy could still retain his composure even when he faced the intimidating might of himself fusing with the world.

  Shouts and cheers burst out of Lovely Land's headquarters. There was no question why this happened. Happy's relaxed and composed demeanor gave him an air of incredible confidence that largely put them at ease. Not only had Evil Emperor not managed to achieve his goal of breaking Happy's morale, he had instead increased the morale of all the members in Lovely Land.

  Evil Emperor's figure fused once more with the world, and as he walked, he said, "It has been a week since we last met, and your movements have become even flashier. They've become even more beautiful than last time."

  Happy could naturally sense the derision and mocking tone in Evil Emperor's voice, but his expression did not change. He laughed loudly. "I'm just in Moksha Realm. Naturally, I can't compare to you. When you attack, you immediately went for an underhanded trick. You didn't even make an announcement when you attacked. Looks like your days in the Chinese prison were not very good. I can understand how you feel."

  "You sure know how to run your mouth… When I attack, it's only natural that I'll do it seriously."

  Evil Emperor was struck where it hurt, and he narrowed his eyes. He knew that it was not good for him to engage in a verbal fight against Happy.

  Right when he finished speaking, Happy felt his vision turn blurry, and he tensed up.

  Evil Emperor moved!

  Just as he expected, when he lost the ability to locate a person with his spiritual sense, it was incredibly bothersome. Once Evil Emperor moved after he fused with the world, Happy instantly lost his target, and it was highly disadvantageous for him to try and capture Evil Emperor's movements with just his n.a.k.e.d eye.

  But Happy was not in a hurry to capture him. He just stood where he was and shut his eyes. Without making a sound, he activated Indestructible Body and had his body enveloped in his true origin aura.

  When he lost his target, any movement he made might make him reveal more openings. He could only listen to the wind to determine Evil Emperor's location and adapt to the situation. This was the best way for him to handle the fight right now.

  However, Evil Emperor did not immediately launch the fiercest attack.

  This was because Happy's reaction was incredibly calm and abnormal. The weapon that landed in his hands was also that incredibly oppressive Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

  A rather thin and much lighter sword landed in Happy's hands. It was the Golden Saber Divine Sword, and circles of invisible ripples were repeatedly spreading out of the sword.

  Chapter 1100 - Three Hours!

  Once Evil Emperor activated h
is qi realm and moved forward, the players watching around the area felt as if he had disappeared from his field of vision. They could not see where Evil Emperor had moved and where he was. In their daze, they only saw Happy standing alone in the illumination of the torches with his sword. The two people's images instantly became even greater and unfathomable in their hearts.

  The only person in the area who could catch up to Evil Emperor's rhythm was One Emperor!

  From the moment Evil Emperor disappeared into the world, One Emperor focused and fixed his gaze on the afterimage that seemed to have blended into one with the violent gusts of wind that blew in the area. His eyes kept moving quickly while he was swathed with worry.

  If he were already having a hard time locating Evil Emperor while he was watching the fight in the distance, Happy was definitely in a much tougher situation, since he was fighting against Evil Emperor at a close distance.

  But soon, One Emperor noticed that Happy was not as uncomposed as he thought he would be. He stood where he was, just as usual, and his weapon…

  It was only at that moment that One Emperor noticed that Happy's weapon was not Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, but a Golden Scale Divine Sword that was rather famous on Divine Weapon Rank.

  At the fourth echelon, its attack was nearly eight thousand points, and its attributes were pretty good. It was a rather good divine weapon. Faint golden halos spread out from the sword, and while One Emperor was not bothered by the fierce sword will, he knew that there was a power contained within the quiet and suppressed light shining from the sword. A normal person would never be able to guess what sort of power was contained within it, and even One Emperor felt a life-threatening danger from it.

  'Smart!'

  One Emperor instantly saw through what Happy intended to it, and he subconsciously released a sigh of relief. He became much more at ease.
