Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Ting ting…

Once Happy activated Golden Bell Cocoon, he acted as if he had eyes on his back. He did not turn his head around, but delivered a deep blue sword ray from an unbelievable angle. That sword ray looked like a shooting star, and it swept through the entire row of thin and fine needles in an exceptional manner.

Each of the three consecutive attacks that came one right after the other brought a greater threat than the last. They were supposed to be more difficult to fend against with each attack, but Happy took care of all of them.

Upon seeing that, Tang Feng’s expression changed slightly. He finally put away the pride of Tang Sect’s best, and his expression became stern. He flung his arms, and two handfuls of black sand went toward Happy, who had turned around to attack him, from a close distance .

Happy tapped against the ground and changed his direction with a twist of his body like a phantom. His sword went sweeping toward Tang Feng, and when he saw Tang Feng quickly throw a handful of black sand at him, he scowled.

Tang Feng had many techniques: shower style, swallow and release style, chain style, and many others that would allow him to unleash his hidden weapons in ways that they would fly irregularly, such as butterfly style, drill style, and so on…

Happy had some degree of understanding of Tang Sect’s techniques from his previous life, so he could tell what sort of fighting technique was being used based on the starting stance alone!

The second handful of black sand was clearly not an attack using the net style!

‘Swallow and release style. Not bad, Tang Feng, you do indeed have some abilities.’

The most profound secret behind the swallow and release style was that it would not have any of its force leak. One single attack from this style could extend to many other attacks, and if Happy used the same method to handle it, he would soon notice that the attacks came nonstop, and he would quickly lose his momentum of sweeping through the attacks with the force of a whirlwind. His strength would be depleted, and he would soon find himself at a disadvantage.

He could recover from that disadvantage before other players, but if he had to do it in front of a disciple from Tang Sect, it would be the same as him putting his neck under Tang Feng’s blade.

However, it was already too late for Happy to change his technique.

They were both in the air, and Happy had just forcefully held his breath and used his qi to change his direction. He had nearly used up that mouthful of qi, so if he wanted to retreat now, it would be too late.

‘I’ll have to wing it!’

Happy slashed forward with the power of Wind Spirit Spin and resolutely challenged the black sand that came at his face.

Tang Feng smiled coldly upon seeing that. He quickly threw his second handful of black sand and began gathering strength to throw the third handful.

‘Dragon Capture!’

Happy did not wait for Tang Feng to attack the third time. He swiftly got six and a half feet away from Tang Feng and executed Dragon Capture with his left hand. His qi shot out, and the huge suction force quickly caused the smile on Tang Feng’s face to freeze.

‘This is bad!’

Shock flashed past Tang Feng’s face.

To others, he seemed to have delivered himself into Happy’s control. He had lost control over his body, and the black sand in his hands had slipped out of his grasp.

Once Happy gained the momentum, he did not intend to show any mercy. He swung his sword without hesitation at Tang Feng’s head.

At that moment, the group of Tang Sect disciples showed an expression that they had been expecting this, and a strange smile appeared on Tang Feng’s face. He laughed, and a golden light rose from his body.

Buzz!

Golden Bell Cocoon…

And it had also reached great completion!

The body fortification technique of the golden bell forced Happy away while his face betrayed his shock.

At the instant he was freed from Happy’s control, Tang Feng smiled in a way that said that victory was certainly his. He pulled his held arm back and pointed at Happy before he quickly exerted force…

Three black rays of light shot toward Happy, who was very close to Tang Feng at that moment, without a sound!

At the same time, the black sand in his right hand created a huge black net. It instantly spread out and went to devour Happy like a huge, gaping mouth.

‘Universe in Sleeves!’ Happy’s expression changed again.

Tang Feng’s attack was one of the killing moves from Tang Sect. The hidden weapon, Universe in Sleeves, could be hidden in the hand, and it was used to kill enemies at a close distance. It was incredibly sinister and domineering, and it also had the effect of tearing through defenses as well as making a person instantly lose their qi.

For the first time ever, Happy found himself in a such a bad position when in a direct fight that he could say nothing about it.

‘Not bad, Tang Feng, Tang Sect’s disciple!’

Happy had been forced away by Golden Bell Cocoon, and his qi surged in his body. Even if he forcefully executed Petite Dragon, he would not be able to avoid being set up for Universe in Sleeves.

He smiled coldly, and the moment his defense was about to be torn through, he quickly retracted his golden bell into his body!

Boom!

He activated Golden Bell Cocoon again, releasing a regal presence with an explosive might.

It looked like the three Hill Breakers Arrows were received by Golden Bell Cocoon…

The description might make it seem that there was no difference either way, but the withdrawal and release of the golden bell had an effect, and it showed the level of understanding Happy had toward Golden Bell Cocoon.

If he had utilized a passive protection, Universe in Sleeves would have undoubtedly pierced through his golden bell.

But if he took the initiative to receive the attack himself, he would unleash the greatest profound secret within Golden Bell Cocoon.

The righteousness of loyalty!

An unbending will!

When the golden bell shattered, Happy fell back four huge steps before going up against the huge black net with a solemn expression.

All Tang Sect disciples had incredibly delighted smiles, but just when they thought that Happy could not circulate his qi, a layer of faint golden light signaling the activation of body fortifications rose from his body again.

Happy received the black net that charged at him with a cold expression, and a sword glare that chilled everyone to their bones appeared!

A huge tear was torn through the black net, and the sinister black sand dispersed. It fell all around Happy.

Tang Feng was so surprised by the fact that Happy could counterattack that he stopped moving. He had a face full of disbelief and stared at his opponent with shock and puzzlement. “You can still move?”

Happy did not answer.

At that moment, anyone could tell that while Happy had his eyes closed and stood still, he was burning with an unprecedented rage. It was because he felt a sense of danger he had never felt before.

Tang Sect’s killing moves, Universe in Sleeves and Hill Breaker Arrows.

Tang Sect’s unique technique, swallow and release style.

Golden Bell Cocoon at great completion.

All of them were prepared to target all that Happy had.

The danger and killing intent in the fight was only known by Tang Feng and the Tang Sect elites with him. If anyone else had been in Happy’s place, they would have died multiple times in the fight earlier!

Happy had been able to come out of the crisis safely, which was already something that exceeded the group’s expectations. Their expressions were grave, and they no longer looked as relaxed as before.

Happy, however, was extremely angry.

Tang Feng, whom Happy had never met before, could be said to have resorted to every conceivable means to kill him. It was only thanks to Happy’s understanding of Tang Sect’s hidden weapons of how Universe in Sleeves and Hill Breaker Arrows worked that he was still standing.

The unfamiliar man had tried repeatedly to kill him, and he had even used his Golden Bell Cocoon.

‘This Tang Feng…’

Happy’s gaze turned cold, and a blue light that was as cold as ice instantly rose from his Noble Sword.

“Again!”

Happy’s tone had changed slightly.

He moved, and Tang Feng’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. He continued to use Blinding Black Sand to open the path.

Boom!

Just as expected, Happy tore through the black net again and sent a sword glare charging at Tang Feng without stopping.

Hill Breaker Needle!

Black sand, swallow and release style!

Tang Feng was not slow in his attacks. He used two killing moves in one go, and at the same time, he closed in on Happy without fear. It seemed like he was ready to execute his next Universe in Sleeves.

‘Perfect timing!’

Happy laughed coldly in his heart. He executed Dragon Capture again, but the moment he was about to seize Tang Feng, he turned his grip into a palm strike, and a domineering power was sent into Tang Feng’s body.

The golden bell rose automatically to protect Tang Feng.

However, when his qi surged, Tang Feng’s reaction became a touch slower. When he released his Universe in Sleeves, Happy moved like a bird taking flight and landed behind him.

Yet countless thin and fine needles suddenly shot out from Tang Feng’s back. There were so many of them that Happy was nearly caught in a trap again.

He said nothing, but his expression changed again. He activated Petite Dragon while cursing up a storm in his heart. He did not expect that Tang Sect would even hand over an armor which had extreme offensive and defensive properties to Tang Feng.
