Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

The mind of All-powerful Medicinal Stone was in chaos.

At first, he had thought that Blood Robes had intentionally gotten himself the Killer Star effect to avoid the diviners until he reached Eternal Peace Temple because he was plotting something. After all, there was also the master of Perpetual Joy Sect, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows with him. With such a lineup, he had to be up to something.

But what he did not expect was that aside from the people from Class One Hall, there were also people from Towering Palace in the area. Merciless Saber Shangguan Lian and Musical Note had come, and they were both famous players.

Besides, Lin Xiao and a group of powerful players from Chivalry Sect had also arrived.

There were also other great players who came after they received the quest from the six great system-allocated sects.

Right then, even Happy and Zhou Yu had appeared.

The situation had become much more complicated, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone felt that he had fallen into a mess. He did not know just what was going on in Eternal Peace Temple. Once he walked past Zhou Yu and Child’s Heart, he took a turn to arrive behind a stone tower with a stagger.

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you here?”

The two men said at the same time while looking at each other at a loss.

“Hear me out. I came on a whim. Tell me what you know,” Happy said again.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone came to a swift realization after hearing that. Happy had disappeared for a period of time, so he should not be within Blood Robes’ sight.

He immediately relaxed and told Happy of Blood Robes’ abnormal actions.

A rather bad feeling rose in Happy’s heart, but he immediately suppressed it, because the possibility of it happening was rather low. If Class One Hall wanted to attack Chivalry Sect again, having five of their elites—Zhou Yu, Blood Robes, Child’s Heart, Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows—surround and attack Chivalry Sect’s Lin Xiao was a little too much, and they even brought over Perpetual Joy Sect’s Solitary Perpetual Joy.

One single mistake would incite Chivalry Sect’s public indignation and counterattack. Then, it would result in a full-scale battle between Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall.

Dream Clouds would definitely not like the losses when sending so many of their great players to kill Lin Xiao once.

Since their target was not Lin Xiao, just who was Class One Hall looking into?

Happy sank into deep thought.

Towering Palace? That was even more impossible!

Dream Clouds might have the ambition to become the master of the game, but she was not stupid enough to turn against Towering Palace right then. She would not attack the people from Towering Palace.

Happy thought about it, but he could not grasp Class One Hall’s evil intentions and plans.

Since he could not understand their plans even after thinking about them deeply, Happy was forced to send a messenger pigeon to Red Dust.

[Haha, Brother Happy, I thought you were going to go into isolated training for a year, so how did you manage to find the time to write to me? Oh, by the way, where did you go for isolated training? Thunderous Battle is too secretive, and he said nothing!

[Me? I’m on my way to Eternal Peace County. You know about Eternal Peace Temple, right? You were there for some time. I received a quest, and I’m going there with Shaolin Temple’s team in preparation to save the elites from the six great sects.]

When Happy received Red Dust’s reply, he felt a chill go down his spine.

‘He’s on the way to Eternal Peace Temple?!’

If that was the case, then Lin Xiao was not the only great player from Chivalry Sect in Eternal Peace Temple?

A strong feeling that something was going to go wrong rose in Happy’s heart.

One Lin Xiao would naturally not be worth Class One Hall attacking with so much manpower, but if there were two vice sect masters, then the situation would be different.

Happy’s heart sank.

[Listen to me. I’m currently in Eternal Peace Temple as well, but the atmosphere here is a little strange.] He then told Red Dust the situation as he knew it.

The messenger pigeon returned very quickly.

Happy only cast a glance at the letter before he saw another name mentioned by Red Dust. His expression changed instantly, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

Medicinal Stone could not suppress his curiosity. He moved over to take a look, and surprise and fear appeared in his eyes.

[This is bad! Brother Happy, our sect master is in Eternal Peace Temple! She went to the temple with Big Brother Lin Xiao, and she just logged off to eat. She’ll come back very soon… Damn it, we have to immediately notify Big Brother Lin Xiao to be careful! Thanks, Brother Happy.]

‘Wind Void is here as well?’

Happy tore apart the letter Red Dust sent to him as a reply with a very unpleasant expression.

He had been prepared to say something to All-powerful Medicinal Stone when he suddenly heard a loud and angry roar from the direction of the tall tower.

“Shameless scum!”

“Lin Xiao!” Happy was stunned, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone also sucked in a sharp breath.

“This is bad! The people from Class One Hall might have already taken action!”

It was just as he said. Lin Xiao’s loud and angry shout that came after was hurried and hoarse. “Hear me, Chivalry Sect members! Break through the encirclement at full strength! We have to fight so as many of our people break through as possible!”

“Oh no!”

Happy was worried about Lin Xiao’s safety. He tapped against the ground and shot out more than thirty feet forward like a phantom.

Lin Xiao’s shouts came continuously from the direction of the tall tower, and they were filled with grief and anger.

“Blood Robes! Dream Clouds! If I don’t die today, I will definitely repay you for your ‘great gift’ one of these days!”

Eternal Peace Temple burst into action.

As Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect fought fiercely, the martial artists in Eternal Peace Temple focused their gazes on the area under the tall tower, and that included the people from Towering Palace. They gathered together warily and retreated until they were at a relatively safe distance to observe the development.

Musical Note and Shangguan Lian stayed on the wall and watched the Chivalry Sect members who tried to break out of the encirclement but were shot down by more people of unknown identities. Their gazes were complicated.

It was a scheme! And it was clear that Class One Hall had planned it for a long time!

The people beside Lin Xiao were all elites of Chivalry Sect. Their equipment and strength were all at the top of the game, but those men—nearly one hundred of them—lost half of their numbers in the first ambush attack, and the remaining ones were mostly injured.

The Chivalry Sect players were crushed by the great players from Class One Hall under Evil Wolf’s lead within a short period of time. They were divided into more than a dozen small battlefields which descended into a bloody and gruesome battle!

Lin Xiao was one of such people. He was injured heavily by Blood Robes, who appeared suddenly and worked together with Monk with Thick Eyebrows to weaken him.

“Great Swordsman Lin, your qi is mine!”

With that loud shout, Blood Robes suddenly closed in on his target.

Lin Xiao noticed an incredibly great suction force travel toward him, but he could not fight it, and his body was forcefully dragged two feet toward Blood Robes. The man seized his arms in a tight grip.

“AAAHH!!”

His body twisted, and his true qi spilled out like a flood from a dam when the floodgates were opened. It went from Lin Xiao into Blood Robes through their arms. Lin Xiao endured the feeling of weakness that came from his true qi spilling out of him madly while trying to kick away Blood Robes.

Unfortunately, Blood Robes was prepared for it.

Lin Xiao’s attainments in sword technique were very high, but his barehanded skills were not great. Right then, as his qi spilled out from him, his strength was reduced greatly, and he could not kick Blood Robes away. He could only watch as his body became thinner and weaker, and his face went pale. The healthy red could no longer be seen.

On the other hand, as Blood Robes absorbed Lin Xiao’s qi, the veins on his temples bulged up, and he grew much more muscular. His aura surged up, and with a sharp gaze, he absorbed Lin Xiao’s true qi at an even more frenzied pace.

When Lin Xiao was about to end up with his true qi and life drained from him, a tri-colored Mandarin Duck Saber suddenly pierced through Blood Robes’ body fortification, and it did so without a warning! The true qi that he absorbed into his body seemed to have found a place to spill out!

Boom!

The true qi rushed out of him madly.

The person who ambushed him was knocked away fiercely by a violent surge of qi. She coughed up a mouthful of blood in the air and only managed to gain her footing after she took a few steps back.

“Sect master, hurry up and go!”

When Lin Xiao saw that Wind Void had returned at that moment, he panicked. His eyes went wide, and he did not even care about taking in medicine. He just pounced on Blood Robes recklessly.

Blood Robes smiled coldly. He kicked Lin Xiao away, completely unbothered by his attack. Then, he turned around and locked his gaze on the girl who was dressed in tight-fitting red clothes and had a cold expression on her face.

“Sect Master Void, since you’re already here, then you shouldn’t think about leaving anymore.”

“Blood Robes, do you think that you alone can kill me?”

Wind Void swept her gaze to the group of people from Towering Palace with sparkling eyes, and the cold tone of her voice could be heard clearly.

When Blood Robes heard that, he laughed.

“Sect Master Void, you are indeed smart. Looks like we don’t need to hide things anymore. Brother Zhou Yu, come out.”

Wind Void’s expression changed.

A sound rose behind her, and she turned her head around to look. Zhou Yu stood there in white nylon robes. He had a cold and indifferent expression while he directed the tip of his silver spear to the ground. Together with Blood Robes, they prevented her from going forward or backward.
