Sword Among Us

Evil Emperor had been coveting the rich resources in the Chinese server for years. One single amazing book in the Chinese server had already turned him into the most powerful player in the world, and he knew very clearly that once he controlled the entire Chinese server, he would be able to control the resources in the entire world in an even more stable manner.

Hence, over the past one year or so, Evil Emperor had practically spent all his time and energy on devising a plan on how to conquer the Chinese server.

Hence, if Dream Clouds knew that he could not delay the fight, he would also know that he could delay the fight.

Evil Emperor knew very clearly that once he lost control of the rhythm of the fight and could not kill Happy within a short amount of time, something would definitely happen to Beijing.

The mere fifty thousand people from Class One Hall could not hope to suppress Lovely Land and the people from the Chinese server.

The four hundred thousand people outside the city would also no longer possess the right to intimidate Beijing as well as the entire northern side of the Chinese plains.

“I’m afraid that I’m going to make you disappointed if you think that you can use Full Winds in Long Skies as your trump card to win against me after you leveled it up.” After Evil Emperor fought for five minutes against Happy, he suddenly stopped. Then, while he delivered another silent sword force to create a trench that was filled with holes all over it, his voice crawled into Happy’s ears from all directions.

Happy’s expression became stern. “Is it?”

His voice was very calm, and with a composed expression, he circulated Tendon Changing Classic to quickly restore his qi. Just now, Evil Emperor’s repeated mental attacks and weakened his true origin aura by one-third its original size.

Happy’s wariness was incredibly strong. When Evil Emperor removed himself from the battle, he immediately guessed that Evil Emperor might be thinking about using that move again, because aside from using the attack that shattered space, which had only appeared for a brief moment in their fight, Evil Emperor never revealed any other stronger ability which could threaten him.

Just as he expected, after Tendon Changing Classic helped him gain a small chance for him to recover and catch his breath, Evil Emperor’s phantom-like figure appeared silently behind Happy. He was currently less than six and a half feet away from Happy. The entire process of him removing himself from the battle and appearing once more behind him to get closer to Happy lasted for less than two seconds, and he was so fast and so resolute in his attack that even Happy felt that the situation was grave, but only for a moment.

This feeling was especially strong when the air suddenly trembled violently at the moment Evil Emperor appeared. It was as if something had been forcefully crushed.

The strong sense of danger he sensed once outside Beijing and the sound of air shattering traveled clearly into his ears.

‘He’s fast!’

This time, the speed in which Evil Emperor gathered and shattered space had become much faster than before.

Whoosh!

Happy no longer hesitated.

He turned around and swung his sword in a blood red arc. His sword force shot out in the form of lightning.

Full Winds in Long Skies!

The shattered space in Evil Emperor’s hands had coincidentally become fully formed when Happy finished delivering the attack. It formed a perfect black hole in the shape of a vortex, and Happy’s sword force surged into the sword force.

Almost at the moment the sword force exploded forth, the dimension trembled, and a powerful suction force that was suffocating made Happy freeze.

Their strongest attacks clashed against each other.

At that moment, Evil Emperor was clearly in a much more relaxed state than before. The scene where his palm was drenched in blood did not appear, but his face was slightly pale. He looked as if he had used too much strength, but his gaze was just as sharp as before. He stared at Happy with a mocking look while Happy turned around.

At that moment, Happy was counting his lucky stars that he decided to switch weapons. If he used Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, perhaps before he even used Full Winds in Long Skies, he would already be suppressed so much by the aura from the shattered space that he could not move. He would have to use his true origin aura, which was not at the peak of its condition, to crash against the shattered space that could crush everything.

In an instant, the power in Happy’s Full Winds in Long Skies had violently negated nearly half the area of the black hole.

If he had to be more accurate, he managed to reduce it by one-third its original size.

Happy’s expression changed.

He remembered that during the first time he dealt with this attack, his Full Winds in Long Skies had been able to easily negate more than half of Evil Emperor’s vortex. Right now, Full Winds in Long Skies had increased by another realm, and he had one additional attack added to it, but Evil Emperor’s shattered space had become sturdier. It was clear that it had improved.

‘Oh no!’

Happy’s heart thumped, and he knew that he was in a bad situation!

“Let’s see how you can escape from my hands this time!”

Evil Emperor was already staring at his opponent arrogantly because his offense had been quickly dissolved and his movements were limited. He could not help but have a brutal smile appear on his face. It was as if he was very pleased with the damage caused by the black hole formed by the shattered space.

Whoosh!

As Happy was drawn closer, the black vortex Evil Emperor held in his palm also drew closer to Happy, and the thick true origin aura that surrounded his body was finally affected.

Happy’s thick and vast true origin aura spilled out like water from a dam once the floodgates were opened. It started spilling out in waves and flowed into the black vortex.

Happy could only watch as his true origin aura was absorbed madly, and his qi began to decrease continuously.

Thankfully, the speed in which his true origin aura decreased was not fast, and it was not as quickly dissolved as the explosive attack from Full Winds in Long Skies.

Even so, thick waves of true origin still surged into the black vortex, and the true origin aura around Happy was still weakened inch by inch.

But Evil Emperor soon scowled.

Even though the true origin aura around Happy was so quickly reduced that it soon became only a thin layer, correspondingly, the black vortex in his hands had also shrunken to its limit. It was now only the size of his fist.

He also did not expect that before the true origin aura outside Happy was completely absorbed, the black vortex in Evil Emperor’s hands would be the first to be unable to last.

Then, Happy’s qi was reduced from Moksha Realm to Life and Death Realm. Not only did his true origin aura completely shatter, even his Indestructible Body was also dissolved.

“Die!”

Evil Emperor clearly did not expect that the destructive suction force that shattered space would disappear at such an awkward moment, but once Happy’s true origin aura completely disappeared, he was stunned for a moment before he quickly reacted to the situation. He did not care about his incredibly weakened body and just gnashed his teeth before he delivered a palm strike to viciously hit Happy’s shoulder.

Bang!

After he had three quarters of his qi spill out of his body, his body was incredibly empty and feeble. No matter how fast Happy’s reaction was, it was impossible for him to get used to the huge difference of him falling from the peak of his condition to the border between Life and Death Realm and Mystic Realm. He stopped moving for a moment, and his shoulder was struck. He was sent flying with a grunt.

However, Evil Emperor had also used up a lot of qi. His qi had fallen from Inaction Realm to Moksha Realm. At the same time, he pushed out of the profound state of becoming one with the world to his original form. Even though he delivered that palm strike at full force, the damage was not as terrifying as the people expected it to be.

Since his attack fell from the peak of Myth Realm to a level that could not even compare to those at the beginning stage of Myth Realm, there was no way he could kill Happy with just one strike, considering the fact that he had a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels, had mastered Tendon Changing Classic, and had activated the first realm for Marrow Cleansing Classic.

When Evil Emperor delivered that palm strike, he noticed that the power in his palm was slightly negated by an invisible force. He scowled, and fierce killing intent shone in his eyes.

Whoosh!

At the instant Happy was sent flying, Evil Emperor stopped moving for a while before he chased after Happy like a phantom. Then, while he was airborne, he delivered a few palm strikes in succession.

He was finally able to force Happy to this state. If he did not seize the opportunity to mercilessly beat him down and Happy managed to survive through that one attack just now, the fight might drag on for a much longer time. He could not use the attack where he shattered space casually and limitlessly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Sect master!”

“Happy!”

The victor between these two would be decided in a moment. When they saw that Happy had suddenly been beaten up so badly by Evil Emperor that he could not fight back, all of Lovely Land instantly burst into a ruckus, including One Emperor.

Many people wanted to immediately rush forward.

As for Class One Hall, Dream Clouds, Flame Wolf, and the others, finally looked happy and delighted.

He finally attacked! Evil Emperor finally attacked!

“Prepare to attack!” Dream Clouds shouted loudly. The people behind her responded to her call, and their morale rushed to the high heavens.

*****

Evil Emperor remained silent.

He had managed to attack consecutively in an instant, but Evil Emperor’s attacks had never created any fatal damage, and he did not manage to beat Happy. Instead, it had stimulated Happy’s Tendon Changing Classic to begin circulating fully, and he was also struck awake at the same time.

Boom!

In the chaos, Happy felt his back crash violently against the ground, and his back burned in pain. But after Tendon Changing Classic circulated through his body once, he quickly recovered.

At that moment, Happy could finally locate Evil Emperor with his spiritual sense and regained his judgment of his surroundings.

While he was airborne, he was sent pummeling to the ground by Evil Emperor. A loud sound rose, and Evil Emperor delivered a fierce palm strike from above.

There was no need for him to even open his eyes. Happy could already sense the air pressure from Evil Emperor’s palm blowing at his face. A life-threatening sense of danger quickly enveloped his entire body.

‘This guy knows that attacking normal parts won’t kill me in one go with his current qi, that’s why he’s prepared to attack my head.’

However, at the moment Evil Emperor was certain that he could kill Happy and was prepared to land a blow on Happy’s head to end the battle…

“Get lost!”

Happy suddenly opened his eyes.

Evil Emperor was stunned for a moment.

Then, Happy vanished.

His fingers sank into the ground.

Bang!

A clear palm print that was half a foot deep was left on the ground.

‘I missed?!’

Before Evil Emperor could understand what happened, a fierce kick came sweeping at him by the side.

Right before everyone’s eyes, Evil Emperor, who had a full upper hand and could be said to have controlled the entire battle, was fiercely struck by the waist when Happy dodged, jumped into the air, and delivered a fierce kick at an angle that was incredibly difficult to dodge.

Boom!

The loud cheers just now instantly died away. Many people had their shouts fall silent while their mouths were still open. They stared at this scene with a dumbfounded look.

The solid sound rang through the plains!

In his shock, Evil Emperor was sent tumbling outward. But since the attack was not strong, his body fortification remained. He quickly regained his balance by planting his feet and one hand firmly on the ground, allowing him to prevent himself from ending up in the awkward and pathetic situation of landing with his limbs turned to the sky.

His heart was filled with shock, but Evil Emperor soon calmed down. He looked up and stared at Happy while he gasped for breath, and he quickly tossed a medicinal pill from his Universe Bag into his mouth while he smiled coldly. “As expected of a powerful enemy of mine. I didn’t expect that you would be able to counterattack even after your qi has fallen to Life and Death Realm.”

He stopped talking for a while before Evil Emperor bared his teeth in a mocking manner. “Oh, I should say that you’re at Mystic Realm now. Looks like you used up quite a lot of your qi in that kick just now.”

Even though he said this, Evil Emperor was still quite wary about Happy being able to launch such an extraordinary and accurate counterattack even in that situation. His gaze was cold and bone-chilling while he stared at Happy’s face. He did not want to miss even the slightest change on his face.

He wanted to know what just happened.

Happy had clearly lost his chance and ability to counterattack just now, but the attack in that kick just now was not the slightest bit inferior to the power Evil Emperor could bring out in his current state.

Happy’s spiritual sense had already recovered. The pain in his body made them suck in a sharp breath, but he did not respond to Evil Emperor.

He quickly circulated Tendon Changing Classic to recover the qi he spent when he executed Dragon Swings Its Tail. He returned to Life and Death Realm and began recovering his qi at a steady pace to fill up his meridian system.

It was only at that moment that he looked up to see Evil Emperor eating medicinal pills. He grinned and put on a contemptuous expression before he said something that only the two of them understood.

“You lost.”

Evil Emperor’s expression grew dark.
