Sword Among Us

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As three soft sounds rose, three black items the size of fists were struck down from the sky by the Tang Sect elites, but the large number of people inside were shocked when they saw the black items immediately releasing black smoke that instantly filled up a circular area of dozens of feet.

Not only did the three balls of smoke envelope the Tang Sect elites, at the same time, quite a number of people lost sight of the field of vision in front of them, and they also could no longer lock down on the walls in front of them.

“Smoke bomb!”

“Oh no!”

“Archers, get ready to continue locking down the area with arrows! Don’t stop!” Even if a number of Lovely Land members managed to react to the situation and shout words of warning, the fierce throwing knives that shot through the smoke right after it was formed viciously pierced into the throats of quite a number of the throats and bodies of the members at the front row.

“Urk!”

They were caught off guard, and multiple Lovely Land members were thrown off their feet by the sudden attack. They were sent flying back.

“Prepare for battle!” The ability within Tang Sect members in determining locations based on the wind was very strong, but they could not quite accurately judge what was going on in the area across them right now, since the situation was incredibly chaotic. In an instant, one died, and two more were injured. In their shock and anger, they quickly used their hidden weapons to counterattack and shout.

Unfortunately, dozens of figures who were shrouded by a black smoke that had yet to disappear rushed over like emotionless fiends. Their entire set of fourth-echelon demon vessels exuded a profound and cold light. In countless Lovely Land members’ eyes, they were just like the incarnations of the God of Death.

“It’s Wild Wolves!”

“Careful!”

“Hurry up and notify Vice Sect Master Ji!”

Based on the number of Wild Wolves who rushed out of the smoke, the Tang Sect disciples instantly came to the conclusion that the members on their side could not possibly block them. They quickly shouted loudly and anxiously, “We need reinforcements here!”

“Too late!”

Before they reached, their voices arrived first!

Two cold glares that looked like lightning shot out from the left and right of the smoke. One of the Tang Sect disciples did not even have the chance to block. He had two intersecting cold glares pierce through his body instantly. Blood gushed out of his throat, and his body was sent flying. He spun in the air before he crashed on the ground.

“Kill them!”

Peach Blossom and Immortal rushed out of the smoke one after another. They shouted coldly. Two brilliant rays of light rushed into the dense group from Lovely Land, and in an instant, blood gushed into the air.

More than forty elite Wild Wolves charged forward like tigers who rushed down the mountains for prey. They rushed into the crowd viciously.

The originally orderly defense line instantly fell into chaos.

Bows and arrows were no longer intimidating when they faced the elite Wild Wolves who rushed into the crowd.

Behind the elite Wild Wolves were an even larger number of Class One Hall elites. They jumped over the wall in an endless stream, and they moved like a swarm of locusts. They pressed forward in a dense wave.

The headquarters of Lovely Land swiftly turned from an iron fortress to a battlefield where the two armies engaged in close quarters combat.

A horrifying slaughter and the sounds of weapons clashing swiftly became really intense.

*****

Dream Clouds and her group still stood quietly at a spot more than three hundred feet away from Lovely Land.

Ever since a continuous wave of people surged into Lovely Land’s headquarters, the people guarding Dream Clouds instantly looked enraptured.

“This is great, hall master!”

“The Wild Wolves have entered!”

The group could not help but shout. Their faces were filled with crazed delight.

The morale of the Class One Hall members around them increased. More people drew close to that side and tried to use the gap over there to get into the headquarters.

Dream Clouds might have been delighted for a time, but soon, she had her smile fade away, and she became calm once more. She could not help but frown and stare into the distance.

“Is there still no news from Happy?”

Up to now, Happy remained unruffled by the situation, and it caused her to be slightly uneasy. It had been a few minutes since Happy left this place, but he had not done anything that was too eye-catching. This was not Happy’s style.

Even though Evil Emperor would return to the battlefield in a few more minutes, she would always have a faint feeling of unease if she could not have a constant grasp of where Happy was and what he was doing. As time passed, that feeling of uneasiness gradually grew stronger. Hence, she had people send messenger pigeons to the people in charge of each location. If they saw Happy, they were to immediately report the situation to her. She… should be able to get news by now.

And just as she expected, the person who was in charge of receiving news behind her spoke with a respectful tone, “Hall master, he’s at the west of the headquarters!”

“The west?”

Dream Clouds was stunned. Her gaze then landed on Lovely Land’s headquarters.

She was currently standing at the east of Lovely Land! If Happy went to the west, then they would have the entire Lovely Land’s headquarters in between them. The distance between them was incredibly far away.

Even if Happy received news that the east had been breached, he might not be able to rush over within a short amount of time. This was the disadvantage of having a headquarters occupy too wide of an area.

Dream Clouds’ emotions became slightly better.

As long as she could take down the east, the battle line of the invasion will spread out, and Happy will not be able to control such a huge battlefield alone.

“Hall master, Beijing sent news!”

When the person behind her snapped her out of her daze, Dream Clouds frowned. “Go on!”

Right now, aside from the most urgent task of taking down Lovely Land’s headquarters, Dream Clouds was the most worried about Beijing. Even though the battlefield that would truly decide the entire war had already shifted to Lovely Land’s headquarters, if the situation at Beijing turned sour too quickly, it would also bring her incredible trouble. This was also the reason behind why she had not dared to relax her guard even in the slightest.

The person behind her held a letter and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, “Wandering Know-it-all worked with the people from Lovely Land and instigated more than one hundred thousand players from Beijing to attack our headquarters in an encirclement. At the same time, they also monitored the city gate. Right now, they’ve gathered quite a number of people to come out of the city to head over here.”

“I knew it.” When she heard the report, Dream Clouds reacted very calmly. It was as if she had long since been expecting that Wandering Know-it-all would not willingly stay out of this entire mess.

“ETA?”

“Around twenty minutes,” the person behind her answered.

Dream Clouds remained silent for a few seconds before she ordered, “They’re just a ragtag bunch. Order a group of people to go over and intercept them. Kill all without mercy. If there are a lot of people around, try your best to hold them back!”

“Understood.” Someone behind her immediately left to carry out her orders.

Dream Clouds’ gaze shifted. Her attention returned to the headquarters of Lovely Land, and she was in high spirits.

“Give me an hour. If I have an hour, I can take down Lovely Land completely and control the entire situation! At that time, no matter how many people come over, it’s useless! Even if Happy comes, he can’t do anything!”

Before her voice even faded away, the sound of fierce fighting came rushing over like a tidal wave from the area across her in the distance. Even the eastern side of Lovely Land was shocked by it, and countless people looked over.

“What happened?”

Dream Clouds and the people around her could hear the sounds of fighting and shouts suddenly increase in volume from the distance, because those sounds had traveled over Lovely Land’s headquarters and reached them. Although when those sounds eventually reached them, it had become very faint.

Many people even craned their necks to look.

But soon, they noticed that the ruckus and fierce sounds of fighting were spreading to the south and north.

Dream Clouds frowned.

Her gaze turned incredibly solemn.

“Hurry up and ask them what happened.”

After all, the large scale ruckus came from the west, where Happy was.

*****

Once he cast Dream Clouds aside, Happy slaughtered his way from the east of Lovely Land to the west. During that period of time, he charged through the army like a bulldozer, and wherever he went, blood would be left staining the ground behind him red.

Happy himself did not know how many people he killed.

During the latter period of his fight, no Class One Hall member dared approach him wherever he passed by. When they heard him approaching, they would give him a wide berth.

When he reached the west, Happy recalled that the charges on this side were pretty serious. There were two moderately sized gaps in their defense line.

But as Happy killed the people around him, an empty area appeared.

The bloody path that was made with the countless lives of the people from Class One Hall and the twelve Beijing sects was swiftly covered by arrow showers. The people who had worked hard to rush into the defense line were instantly isolated, and they were quickly destroyed by the defense line that picked itself up once more.

When he arrived at the west, Happy changed his direction and began to rush outward. His sword momentum also became even fiercer than before.

With Happy guarding them, the west regained full composure, and the Class One Hall members also lost their morale completely. Wherever Happy went to, corpses would litter the land. The people all avoided Happy until he was 328 feet away, and even then, they still did not feel safe.

But Happy did not care about that. He just continued launching guerilla attacks in the west.

Whoosh!

He swung Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and countless people cried out in pain before they were sent flying.

Happy turned into a God of Murder on the battlefield.

In just a few minutes, he forcibly cleared out an entire path on his own. When One Emperor came over, Happy had already created an empty spot that was more than 328 feet wide from the encirclement Class One Hall formed.

“Damn it!”

“Happy alone is already bad enough, and now, One Emperor came over as well?!”

“I’ll change places, okay? Happy now?!”

The Class One Hall members around the area all thought that this place was too dangerous, and their future was bleak if they continued fighting in this place. All of them lost their fighting spirit.

*****

When One Emperor passed by Happy, he sent him a secret message. “Happy, the backup at Ghost’s Domain have all arrived!”

He was very quick when he sent information on the battlefield. His words were simple, concise, frank, and firm.

Happy’s lips curled up.

‘They’re finally here!’

He smiled faintly, and Happy raised his hand to fire a red burning arrow to the sky. It exploded in the air.

The burning arrow might not be conspicuous when the plains was illuminated by a sea of fire, and the people who were too far away could not notice it, but there were few people in the west, which made it incredibly eye-catching.

When a dazzling and bright fire blossomed in the night sky with a crack, it instantly attracted quite a number of Class One Hall members’ attention.

They were stunned, and everyone looked at the direction of Lovely Land’s headquarters with shock and bewilderment. They thought that Happy had fired a signal for them to break out.

But soon, a dense group of black shadows silently appeared behind them on the dark plains to the west.

These people moved incredibly quickly.

They were all dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, and they looked like people who traveled at night. They had weapons in their hands, and they moved as if they were flying when they showed up in the darkness. Only a few noticed their existence in the chaotic and noisy battlefield.

The entire process of them entering the area illuminated by light to the moment they drew up to the closest Class One Hall member only lasted for the blink of an eye.

The person who was the first to draw close to the Class One Hall member had a firm gaze.

At the moment the Class One Hall noticed the movement of a fierce gust of wind behind him and turned around, the person had already executed his attack.

He brought his weapon down.

“Enemy attack!”

“Ah!”

“Careful of the rear!”

“Lovely Land’s ambushers!”

Shouts filled with shock and anger spread out like a plague.

But the people who entered the area illuminated by light came in a dense wave. When the Class One Hall members reacted to the situation, tens of thousands of people had already slaughtered their way into the Class One Hall army from the rear like a tidal wave.

They were caught off guard, and the Class One Hall members could not even set up a defense line to slow them down. The weapons had already cut their throats.

Happy and One Emperor were high in spirits. They led a group of people to slaughter their way out from the left and right, and they lit up the flames of war on the plains!
