Sword Among Us

The Arm Strength Suppression Ability from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was indeed extraordinary, but when he faced someone who was three qi realms higher than he was, Happy was unable to bring out the effect of the suppression ability.

The heavy Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and the remaining force that exploded from Full Winds in Long Skies was easily grabbed by Evil King. He used two hidden forces back to back to easily destroy the remaining might in Full Winds in Long Skies. With great ease, he lifted Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and its wielder into the air while he also enjoyed the strength given to him when he became One with the World.

However, Happy was never someone who liked waiting passively for his death.

He quickly snapped out from his initial shock.

Happy remembered that he had already witnessed the strength of those who were One with the World at Punishment Mount. His gaze turned cold, and he resolutely gave up on his sword.

With one slap on the sword, he used the force to tumble outward and swiftly landed on the stone sixty-five feet away.

Since Evil King had become One with the World, he was incredibly sensitive to everything around him. A thought popped up in his head.

“You’re just asking for death!”

He then flipped his wrist and produced a palm seal that was accompanied by a thunderous crack.

This time, the power from the palm seal completely surpassed the shackles that had been previously placed on it because Evil King was just at the peak of Myth Realm. Wherever it went, shattered stones would start flying, and in an instant, it formed a huge, roaring face that went surging at Happy fiercely.

Even though Happy lost his weapon, he did not panic.

Dragon Coil! True origin aura! Indestructible Body!

Once he activated all three martial arts, a green dragon’s body descended, and the true origin filling up the area around Happy instantly froze.

“ROAR!”

The roaring face crashed violently into Happy’s body.

“Urk!”

Even though his defense had been strengthened to its peak ever since he started the game, Happy still felt a huge power throwing him off the ground.

Boom!

Happy sensed that he was thrown into a pile of shattered stones by a huge force, and he was shoved out of it because he was thrown further backward. Fiery pain spread to every corner of his body.

Wan Wan was already so shocked by the sequence of surprising events that she could not say anything, but she did, anyway.

“Congratulations, Evil King! You’ve reached a breakthrough!”

At the same time she knelt down on one knee, she looked in Happy’s direction with her beautiful eyes.

Evil King’s palm strike just now stirred up the wind and clouds, and the power that exploded from his attack caused a trench that was 328 feet long on the ground. The scattered stones all fell into the trench, and no one knew whether Happy survived the onslaught.

“Hahahaha!”

Once he broke the shackles that had bound him for years, Evil King was in a good mood. He cast aside Recondite Steel Heavy Sword as if he was throwing away old sandals. His gaze became even fiercer than before as he looked at Happy, and his smile grew bigger. “Speaking of which, while I was trying to devote myself to suppressing the evil in me in Dafo Temple, I didn’t expect that I would accumulate even more power. Right now, you stimulated that power, and I finally achieved the goal I have had for years. You can rest easy for being the first person I kill once I’ve become One with the World.”

Right when he finished speaking…

Rumble!

The sound of stones rolling off the mountainside was incredibly piercing to the ears. Shi Zhixuan quirked his eyebrows, and he saw a figure suddenly stand up in the shadows in the distance—It was Happy.

“As expected of the person who mastered Tendon Changing Classic. Your tendons and bones are all incredibly powerful, and there is no one in the world who can kill you with just one strike.” When he said this, his tone suddenly changed. “But since you challenged my dignity, you must die!”

Happy said nothing. He was currently in a very strange condition. When he got up from the stone pile, his gaze was slightly lost, as if he was thinking about something troubling him. It would seem like he was trying his best to remember what it was, and he just stood where he was. He completely ignored Evil King’s presence, which was so strong that it could devour the heavens.

“You’re asking for death!”

Being ignored was the greatest provocation and humiliation Evil King ever suffered, especially when he had already become One with the World. In his anger, he snorted coldly with a sneer on his lips. Then, he quickly jumped into the air to arrive above Happy.

Evil King was so fast that even Wan Wan could not catch up to him. When she turned around, she saw Evil King levitating above Happy with a monstrous presence. She frowned slightly, and when she looked at Happy, there was an inexplicably complicated look in her eyes.

But at the same time, Wan Wan was puzzled by Happy’s current condition.

Even when he faced such an aggressive Evil King, Happy remained still. He did not seem to be thinking about avoiding or parrying his attacks.

‘How can this be? Did the palm strike just now knock him silly?’

With just one thought, Evil King attacked brazenly.

Bang!

The air trembled violently, and the entire space looked as if a part of it had collapsed. A huge black palm seal descended violently on Happy with an astonishing presence.

At the moment the attack was about to touch Happy, Happy finally reacted.

He opened his eyes and looked up.

Evil King might be the only one who saw the entire process.

Happy was originally in a confused state while he tried to recall something, and suddenly, a fierce and intimidating gaze shot out of his eyes. When he faced the palm seal that descended from the sky, his body suddenly vanished from the spot.

His expression changed, and shock as well as surprise flashed briefly in Evil King’s eyes.

Whoosh!

Before he could react to the situation, with an unbelievable step, Happy suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and only after he appeared did a barely noticeable sound of air being pushed apart rise in the air.

Wan Wan was full of disbelief as she watched by the side.

Happy had actually used an unimaginable speed and momentum to attack Evil King.

Bang!

When Wan Wan saw Evil King being kicked away, she could not believe her own eyes. A young junior who had yet to even enter Inaction Realm had actually managed to force back Evil King when he had already become One with the World.

Evil King crashed into a huge stone before he finally stopped. The cracks on the stone quickly spread to every inch of the stone.

“How did you do that?”

Even Evil King himself felt great fear in his heart at the moment he was kicked. Right now, when he got up to his feet, he was full of disbelief. He stared at Happy while he charged over not far from the distance. At the moment he was kicked, for some reason, Happy’s attack and speed seemed to have also become One with the World, and he refused to believe that it was a misconception.

The reply to his question was Happy’s merciless slash after Happy grabbed Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

“You don’t need to know.”

Whoosh!

Full Winds in Long Skies!

Happy took huge strides to arrive in front of Evil King, and a fierce sword force caused shattered stones to fly all over the air.

Evil King was naturally fine.

Compared to the previous strike, while the damage in this attack was also very magnificent, the speed could not compare to the kick just now, which was why it was incredibly easy for him to avoid it.

However, it was only at this moment that Wan Wan and Evil King, who jumped into the air, saw that Happy was actually completely uninjured, even though he suffered through that palm strike from Evil King just now.

Even a full-powered strike from a person who was One with the World could not create any substantial damage to Happy!

Thud! Thud!

When Happy withdrew his sword and turned around, he was just in time to face Evil King when he landed on the ground. A fierce wind swept past the torches around them, and the mountainside instantly became much darker. But Happy and Evil King could still see the chilly look in each other’s eyes, and when their gazes met, they could even hear metaphorical sparks in the air.

The atmosphere at the mountainside became tense once more, and it was suffocating.

Evil King’s expression was not good.

He originally thought that once he became One with the World, it would be easy for him to kill Mad Monk’s successor even after he mastered Tendon Changing Classic. But it was clear that not only had he underestimated how tenacious Happy was, he had also underestimated Happy’s ability to counterattack.

At the very least, the mysterious and unfathomable kick just now contained a power that did not lose to Evil King’s own kick.

Since they were two powerful people fighting against each other, Evil King no longer believed that Happy would tell him the reason. His heart became calm, because he knew that the fight would not end so easily.

As for Happy, the attack from Evil King that pushed him back by 328 feet was still burning in him, and it caused him great discomfort.

However, when he got up, he only remembered the burning feeling when he was pushed across the ground. There was not a single injury on his body, and his true origin aura had just been weakened a little.

Evil King could only be considered to have just become One with the World, and his strength had just increased by ten percent. He could not compare to Mad Monk just yet, and even when he attacked at full power, it was only stronger by six thousand to seven thousand points compared to before.

Even though he posed as a greater threat now, when Happy used true origin aura, he managed to weaken twenty percent of Evil King’s attack. He had also used Dragon Coil to increase his defense. Since his defense increased and Evil King’s attack decreased, Evil King did not actually manage to gain much of an advantage over Happy.

The only difference from how he would usually react to this sort of situation was that since he lost Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, he lost quite a lot of Affinity points, which was why he was shoved so far away by Evil King.

When he thought things through, Happy was no longer as wary when he faced Evil King, who had just become One with the World.

Also, at the moment he used Dragon Coil, he keenly noticed something about Dragon Coil.

Unfortunately, Dragon Coil appeared and disappeared very quickly. It had only lasted for a second, and he could not quite understand it.

It was also because of this reason that Evil King misunderstood that Happy had ignored and humiliated him.

Happy had managed to calm down and was no longer wary of Evil King. With Tendon Changing Classic serving as his shield, he was not afraid of Evil King harming him within a short amount of time, and it was only then that he remembered himself using Dragon Swings Its Tail once against Evil King. During that time, he gained his epiphany about the attack.

So, he used it again.

The effect was pretty good.

Just as he expected, Dragon Swings Its Tail absorbed the enemy’s attack and instantly converted it into practical damage for Dragon Swings Its Tail, which was how he managed to give Evil King the surprise.

But even though he managed to deliver the surprise, Happy still tried to remember the epiphany he gained when he used Dragon Coil. He felt that the feeling he gained during that instant might be able to help him discover the true profound secret within the fourth style of Ten True Dragon Styles.

‘Just what is it?’

While he stared at Evil King, Happy continued thinking quickly and tried to remember what happened just now.

But the more anxiously he tried to remember something, the more impossible it was for him to remember.

Happy was so anxious that he scowled, and anyone could practically see smoke rising up his head. But he just could not immediately remember that important thing, even when Evil King attacked him again.

He scowled even further.

Happy gnashed his teeth and thought, ‘Since I can’t remember it, I’ll use it again. I refuse to believe…’

Boom!

This time, Happy only activated Dragon Coil, true origin aura, and Indestructible Body when he faced Evil King’s attack. Just as he expected, he was flung viciously away by a power that he could not fight back against. He only stopped when he was pushed dozens of feet into a scattered pile of stones.

The series of unexpected events already caused Wan Wan to be unable to say anything.

When she saw that Happy had turned from strong to weak again, she already did not know what to say about it.

Evil King stared at the pile of stones that buried Happy with a strange and complicated expression. His gaze was grave.

Rumble!

The sound of stones rolling off rose, and Happy stood up once more from the stones completely safe. His body was covered in dust, and he looked very pathetic.

Even though he looked pathetic, no one heard Happy mumbling to himself when he stood up. “So it can be used like this…?”
