Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Reversing Stars!

It was one of the killing moves Blood Robes had recently come to understand.

With the unexpected killing move, Blood Robes believed that when it came to solo fights, as long as he did not meet up with people like One Emperor or Happy, he would have no opponents in the game.

At the moment the man in the yellow brocade robe landed on the ground, Blood Robes moved beside Happy as quickly as lightning and struck his body with a palm strike!

Star Sucking Great Skill!

‘Suck!’

His palm landed firmly, and an abundant amount of power surged into his body through Happy, but at the same time, an incredibly dangerous presence suddenly enveloped Blood Robes’ body. He came to the abrupt realization that a frightening chill had risen from everywhere, and he instantly felt his hair rise.

But Blood Robes still did not believe that Happy could do anything once he was struck with Star Sucking Great Skill. The greatest characteristic of Star Sucking Great Skill was that it would chase after its enemies until it sucked away their final shred of strength.

However, the crackling sounds of beans popping while they were stir-fried at a high temperature rose from Happy’s body, and a power so mighty that it was astonishing surged out from within him.

Blood Robes immediately noticed that the gap that delivered Happy’s qi to his body seemed to have been blocked by magma. His palm became hot, and he quickly pulled it back before he delivered another palm strike!

However, he did not expect that Happy would suddenly tumble in the air and avoid the fatal blow Blood Robes delivered at his head.

The great dragon opened its eyes!

“ROAR!”

At the instant their hands touched, a power as great as an avalanche rose from Happy’s arm and went to Blood Robes’ body. He looked as if he had been hit by lightning. He grunted in pain, and his body was sent flying horizontally backwards.

Happy had waited laboriously until he could finally deliver the tenth attack, and he finally understood Surrender at the Sight of the Dragon while he was turned upside down by Reverse Stars. There was no way Happy would not be excited after something like that happened. He let out a long shout and chased after Blood Robes in the air like a large bird.

He saw Blood Robes’ eyes suddenly go wide.

“ROAR!”

The dragon’s roar that rang in the air seemed to have broken through some sort of limit, and it became clearer and louder than before! While it roared in anger, the clear shape of the dragon appeared on the back of Happy’s palm and entered Blood Robes’ sight.

Eleventh move!

Great Dragon Stretches Claw.

Boom!

The sound of a solid crash rose, and Blood Robes cried out in pain. He broke a wall and flew out of the yard of the best room from the a single punch. He even created a terrifying trench when he reached the ground.

“Vice Hall Master Blood!”

Langye and his group quickly chased after him out of the yard. They helped him to his feet and examined his form, which was covered in blood and looked incredibly pathetic.

When they glanced back at the man in the yellow brocade robe, their eyes were filled with fear and respect.

Their view of the world was too narrow…

“Truly, our view of the world is too narrow. When did such a top class player appear in World of Martial Arts?”

Blood Robes covered his chest and coughed up blood while he smiled in anguish. He knew very clearly that if it were not for the protective effect of Heaven Fragrant Tower, that palm strike just then would have been enough to kill him on the spot.

And the attacker did not even have any gloves. He had reached such power while just relying on his martial art.

“Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm does indeed live up to its name!”

Langye had a complicated expression on his face. If he still could not guess what martial art the other person used, he would not be fit to be the tower master of Sky Penetrating Tower.

“I have stayed too long in Beijing, and I thought that Beijing could represent all of World of Martial Arts. By the looks of it now, our view of the world is too narrow. Aside from One Emperor and Happy, there are still plenty of powerful people in the game who have never shown their abilities.

“Let’s go!” Blood Robes took a few Dew Pills in succession until he finally recovered some of his mobility.

When he saw the mysterious man in the yellow brocade robe head back to the room with the other mysterious man, he sighed with reluctance to admit defeat. “I’m sorry, Brother Lang, not only have I not managed to restore your honor today, I even embarrassed us entirely.”

“Who knew that such a powerful and ruthless person would appear in the best room?” Langye laughed wanly.

It was not the time to be jealous of the people who had bought Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant’s services. Sky Penetrating Tower and Class One Hall’s dignity had been completely stomped on and crushed, but they did not even know by whom.

“Let’s talk about the alliance later. I must return to the headquarters. This person is prideful and has extraordinary abilities, but he refused to let us know of his true identity, so he’s definitely not someone from Beijing. I must investigate this matter thoroughly.” Blood Robes had a solemn expression on his face.

Langye also knew that since the stranger secretly came to meet with a person in Beijing, they could only hope that he was just passing by instead of intending to take some of the resources of Beijing from their hands!

Sky Penetrating Tower also had to regard the matter seriously.

“If that’s the case, Big Brother Blood, take a leave first. We can talk to each other some other day.”

“I’ll see you later.”

Blood Robes got up, changed his clothes, and quickly left.

Langye and his brothers stayed silent for a long time before Langye said, “Do not reveal what happened today to anyone else.”

“We know.”

Their hearts were heavy. They knew that what happened did not just concern Sky Penetrating Tower’s reputation, but also the reputation of Class One Hall’s Blood Robes. If word of it spread, the alliance between Sky Penetrating Tower and Class One Hall might end up going up in flames.

Once Langye gave a few more instructions, he cast a deep glance at the best room, and a hint of respect could be seen in his eyes.

“Have two people remain at the entrance and pay attention to those who seem powerful coming in and out of the place. Once you find them, notify me immediately.”

“Understood!”

*****

“Happy, you were really flashy today. I reckon that Blood Robes will definitely not have the mood to discuss anything with Langye right now. Langye’s influence in Beijing is pretty great though, so he will definitely think of a way to find out our identities.”

Wandering Know-it-all stared at Happy’s arm. It was only then that he felt that his uneasiness settle down.

Happy had used his bare hands since the beginning of the fight. The people who fought against him would definitely not be able to guess that the person who executed Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm was Happy. After all, the fight in which they fought had not been long, and no one would be able to guess that Happy, who had always been famous due to his sword techniques and his higher quality equipment would use his palms to easily defeat two of the three young masters of Beijing.

“It’ll be far too easy to stay out of their sight. I can do so with one Bamboo Hat.”

Happy was incredibly calm.

“If that’s the case, Beijing will not be chaotic for the time being. Their attention will be on me, and it’ll make it easier for us to save Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes.”

As they spoke, Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant were ignored by the side.

“Speaking of the rescue mission, I forgot to tell you something. This time, I prepared some helpers for you,” Wandering Know-it-all said with a serious face. “They aren’t weak, and they won’t have any problems in fighting against one or two Moksha Realm elites by themselves. One of them can divert Divine Arrow Eight Heroes’ attention for you, and the other can attract Xuanming Elders’ attention.”

Happy quirked an eyebrow when he heard that.

“Are they reliable?”

Even though he knew that it would not be practical for him to take action alone, he could not ignore the fact that he had to keep his identity a secret.

Wandering Know-it-all had known from the start that Happy would ask such a question.

“They’re absolutely reliable. Besides, I didn’t tell them that you’d be taking part. During the quest, they won’t know your identity either. I’ll tell the details inside the mansion.”

While Happy and Wandering Know-it-all discussed their plans in Heaven Fragrant Tower, Blood Robes brought the news back to Class One Hall’s headquarters and told Dream Clouds about what had happened.
