Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Little North’s opponent was a disciple from Five Sword Sect Alliance. He was pretty good, but unfortunately for him, at some point in time unknown to him, he had been enveloped by the poison released by Little North. When he noticed that the situation was bad for him and that his status had dropped by more than twenty percent, he became shocked and furious, and he quickly attacked.

“Perfect timing!”

Little North did not panic. Black smoke tumbled about around him, and a black, poisonous hand swiftly appeared above the Five Sword Sect Alliance disciple’s head.

Slap!

The Five Sword Sect Alliance disciple only felt a foul smelling wind charge at him. He was caught off guard and simply did not have time to avoid it. His body fortification appeared, and he was forced several feet away while feeling weak.

Chasing after others while he had the upper hand had always been Little North’s style. He attacked continuously with his Bone-corroding Palm, and the black poisonous palms surrounded the Five Sword Sect Alliance disciple like crows.

The disciple had already been struck by invisible poison, and his status had dropped slightly, so even though he used his qi to suppress it and the poison never reacted, it forced him to use up a lot of his qi. And soon, he could no longer sustain his body fortification, and it was destroyed.

With a palm strike, Little North left behind a wound. The black poison instantly invaded the disciple’s entire body through the wound, and his status fell to the point that he was beneath Mystical Realm. He immediately admitted defeat then and got down the stage. The fight ended so quickly that it was almost as quick as that of Happy.

The people watching could not help but gasp in amazement! Those who did not know Little North had a great understanding toward the title of Ten Thousand Poison Duke.

“Haha! Next!”

Little North placed his hands on his waist in high spirits while he called out loudly for his next fight on the stage.

“I’ll challenge you.”

An elder from Kunlun Sect flew to the stage. He was short, but his gaze was as calm as water. The veins at his temple popped out, giving him the image of a very capable and powerful man.

When he landed on the stage, he quickly wrapped his fist in his palm and greeted Little North. “You’re a disciple of Corpse Sect, aren’t you? It’s no wonder then why your skills with poison are so great. If that’s the case, I, Impenetrable Steel, will ask that you accept my challenge.”

Once he finished speaking, a longsword shining with a cold light let out a hissing sound in the air and tore through the wind.

Little North’s expression could not be seen since the black smoke surrounded him, but based on how calm the poisonous smoke was, Happy knew that Little North would have no problem with the battle. After all, Little North had not used his full strength right then .

He had three puppets with the strength of Thousand Year Corpse King. Each of them was as sturdy as a Moksha Realm NPC, and with their fearlessness toward death as well as the damage from corpse poison, no normal person could hope to fight against him.

As expected, right after the duo began to fight against each other, Little North fell into a disadvantage and had to run in every direction to avoid the sword strikes. Impenetrable Steel attacked with bold strikes, but soon, two black and hard claws suddenly shot out from beneath the stage and seized his legs with a steely grip. They sank into his skin without any trouble.

When Impenetrable Steel noticed Little North charging toward him to attack, his expression changed drastically. He did not have time to think, and he forcefully broke free of the grip, but that resulted in a large patch of his skin and flesh being ripped off. Blood gushed out, and it was black with hints of purple in it.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

He retreated dozens of feet away and tapped against some of his acupressure points to seal off circulation. His face was now livid with rage and purple from poison as he stared at Little North and the black hands from the floor that still had some black flesh on them…

Bang!

The arms that were like black steel suddenly pulled back into the ground and violently smashed against it to form a huge hole. Then, a creature crawled out from the ground and appeared before the crowd’s eyes in all its bizarre and evil-looking glory.

Impenetrable Steel released a breath of relief. Even though he had been poisoned and his condition fell, he could still fight. Yet at that moment, he suddenly felt something seize his feet again.

Pain!

Another pair of hands had seized his wounded legs…

The pain went straight to his heart!

Shock and fear finally appeared on Impenetrable Steel’s face.

“I give up!”

With the ambush of the two zombie puppets, Little North quickly won his second match, and there was no suspense as to whether he would win his third match too. Even though the person who came up to challenge him was very strong and forced Little North to use his full strength, when all three of his zombies appeared and worked with his poison damage, he managed to break his opponent’s body fortification after more than one hundred moves, and a wound was formed on his opponent’s body.

With the ripping and poison effects, his status immediately dropped by sixty percent!

Naturally, Little North became the seventh person who won three consecutive rounds.

The fourth to sixth people were Momo, Red Dust, and Night Rain Asura.

The former two were successors of ultimate techniques, and they were not weak. The last was King Asura in Happy’s previous life and the person who stood on equal grounds with Star King Blood Robes as well as Abyss King Barren Murderer.

When Little North’s battles ended, Silver Wolf also got down the stage.

When a fight turned into a battle of attrition, Red Flame Palm become a divine technique. If the opponent did not defeat Silver Wolf within a short period of time, they would basically lose their ability to fight because of Red Flame Palm.

He won all three rounds.

The eighth player who won all three rounds showed up!

Because of this, there were already four people from Mu Clan who could enter the second round to challenge the top-class elites.

“I guess that Dream Clouds is definitely feeling pressured right now.” When Little North walked down the stage, he cackled. “Class One Hall still hasn’t taken any action. Could it be that they gave up?”

“They’re worried that Happy will cause trouble for them. If I were in their place, I would be worried as well. I would definitely not want Happy to use me to win another round.”

Red Dust stared at Dream Clouds and her group with a contemplative look. They really had yet to take any action.

Little North whispered in an evil manner, “If I were in their place, I’d go up when we log off to eat and rest. But during the martial arts tournament, we cannot leave the place. Even if we log off, they won’t know. Right now, Dream Clouds, Blood Robes and the others are definitely feeling very gloomy. Haha, I’ll watch them and wait for them to go up the stage.”

“I have to say, even though this method is a little dreadful, if you go up against Blood Robes, Blood Robes won’t be your opponent,” Thunderous Battle said while smiling at Little North. “Blood Robes is the best at absorbing qi, but he wouldn’t dare to suck your poison, and you have your zombie puppets helping you as well. If you fought against him, there’d be no need to wonder about who was going to win.”

“Why did you mention Blood Robes only? I can fight against the others as well, you know?” Little North combed his hair in a very pleased manner while he looked all over the place.

Happy gave Little North a look before warning him, “You’ll definitely have no problems fighting against Monk with Thick Eyebrows, but you shouldn’t be too arrogant when it comes to Dream Clouds and Zhou Yu. Dream Clouds’ Divine Flames Art is perfect for countering you at long distance, and it also has the same effect as Red Flame Palm. If you fight against her, you won’t win. As for Zhou Yu, you have no chance to win at all. Your current strategy is of no use against Zhou Yu.”

COMMENT

Little North hunched his shoulders when he heard that.

If someone else had said those words, he would definitely not believe them, and he might even go up the stage to refute their words.

But since Happy was the one who said it… Little North knew that there was no way for him to win. His metaphorical tail, which had been wagging in delight, instantly fell to the ground, and it lay there honestly. It no longer dared to puff up in pride.

“We can momentarily ignore the people from Class One Hall. We’ll just compete and fight for the top ten.”

“Top ten? I heard that the benefits for top ten aren’t that great. Are you saying that none of us will get into the top three?”

“If no accidents occur, the top three should be One Emperor, Vast Heaven, and me.”
