Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Aside from one Ice Blue Flame Art and a few extraordinary poisons and antidotes, the evil cult elder also had Sky Demon Order and a few grade one masterpieces.

Naturally, Happy remembered all the people who encircled and attacked the evil cult elder. Those who did not get anything would get Mu Clan’s contribution points, but Wind Chimes had done quite a lot as well, even though she was not part of Mu Clan. Happy let her take the remaining items, but she just gave him a “you’re real stupid, aren’t you?” expression before she turned around and left him.

Well, that was to be expected.

Wind Chimes had always been Wandering Know-it-all’s disciple, and it was superbly easy for her to kill someone with her sound technique. She did not need to care about loot, unlike normal players.

Happy did not continue trying to argue with her. He let Thunderous Battle take care of the equipment the evil cult elder dropped while he took Sky Demon Order.

Sky Demon Order!

It was not very useful in the game right then, but when Sky Demon Sect became open to the public, it would turn into something that everyone wanted but could not get.

The others were not puzzled by Happy’s act of taking Sky Demon Order.

They would instead find it puzzling if Happy was not interested in such a strange item.

Once they finished distributing the loot, One Emperor also ended his fight. He had reaccumulated his qi and finally got rid of the evil cult elder. But what Happy found to be a pity was that he did not manage to see One Emperor use his fifth and sixth slashes. It had to be because he had already used up too much of his qi, and he did not have the confidence to kill in one blow.

But he won in the end and gained a point, which meant that he had five. However, if Vast Heaven killed an evil cult elder, it would end in a draw!

In the meantime, Lin Xiao and Red Dust were beginning to be unable to handle the situation. As the evil cult elder became serious, Thunderous Battle, Momo, and the others also felt great pressure on their shoulders, and they were forced to ask for reinforcements.

“Alright, the point will be mine, and the loot will be yours.”

Happy did not need to be too tactful with Chivalry Sect. Once they nodded and agreed to his offer without hesitation, Happy joined the battlefield in a flash.

Momo had been suppressing the evil cult elder by quite a bit with her Throw Spirit Sphere, and Lin Xiao as well as Red Dust were also tough cookies. Now that Happy, Silver Wolf, and Wind Chimes joined the fray, he was instantly unable to handle the situation!

Thud!

The moment the evil cult elder was distracted, he was unable to fend against Momo’s Throw Spirit Sphere. His body was struck repeatedly, and the piercing pain caused him to shout in anger.

When he saw that two of his four companions had already died, his fighting spirit completely disappeared, and he tried to break out of the encirclement to flee for his life, but he was held back by Wind Chimes’ sound attack. Then, Happy and Silver Wolf brutally blocked off his exit.

“Isn’t it too late for you to think about running?”

Happy cackled in anger while he looked down from above. A golden dragon viciously sent the evil cult elder crashing back to the ground. The others caught up quickly then and beat him down!

Silver Wolf’s Red Flame Palm!

Little North’s Bone-corroding Palm!

Momo’s Throw Spirit Sphere!

Lin Xiao’s Kunlun Great Sword Technique!

Red Dust’s Arhat Staff Sword!

With Happy’s companions “taking care” of him, the evil cult elder staggered backward, and within a moment, he was covered in wounds. His qi was repeatedly drained, and his body fortification was destroyed. Soon, he no longer had the strength to fight back.

No one knew whether there would be similar point accumulation quests later on, but as they persisted in fighting, Happy obtained one more point, and his total points reached nine.

One Emperor stood alone on the other side and watched the people from Mu Clan work together. A faint hint of loneliness and envy shone in his calm eyes.

*****

In the blink of an eye, there were only three of the five evil cult elders left, but the remaining two did not show any signs of losing. One of them was in Dream Clouds, Lu Mingyue, and Zhou Yu’s hands, while the other was in Vast Heaven’s hands.

However, Vast Heaven was not an idiot. He seemed to have noticed that Mu Clan had already obtained two points and knew that he had no hopes of obtaining the title of champion, which was why he decided to call Clear Music of Towering Palace to help him.

Two other great players who seemed to have been impressed by Clear Music’s charm also came over, and the quartet worked together to fight against the evil cult elder, which allowed them to finally obtain a greater advantage.

The second evil cult elder also dropped a rather decent Moksha Realm martial art manual along with a few pieces of grade one equipment. There was also a low-grade demon vessel, Tang Sect’s Heavenly Storm Net. If it was released from the palm, its element of surprise and damage was even above that of Pear Blossom Storm Needles.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust giddily thanked Happy while they took the loot.

When Little North saw that the loot from the evil cult elders was so “rich”, a thought appeared in his head. “Why don’t we take down Class One Hall’s evil cult elder as well? After all, we don’t know how long it’ll take before they finish theirs.”

“No comment.”

Thunderous Battle was Mu Clan’s boss, and he would naturally not reject the great deal of adding high-grade resources to his clan. However, when he spoke, he still cast an inquiring gaze at Happy.

Even though they were not attacking Class One Hall themselves, kill-stealing meant that they would be slapping Class One Hall in the face, and it might end up causing a bloody battle between the two top-class sects.

Everyone’s gazes gathered on Happy, who was also uncertain as to whether they should take action.

Class One Hall and Mu Clan had already reached a point where they stayed out of each other’s business and were at peace with each other, but Happy could sense that Class One Hall was recovering their strength and accumulating their power.

Even though Mu Clan’s growth was very fast, Happy did not want to give Class One Hall resources and time to catch their breath.

“Cult Master Zhang.”

“Young Swordsman Happy, what is it? Please speak.”

Zhang Wuji was using his Nine Yang Divine Skill to heal some of the injured from the other sects as well as get rid of the cold poison in their bodies. When he heard Happy, he immediately opened his eyes, stopped circulating his qi, and responded to him.

“If we work together to kill one evil cult elder, will it seem like we’re not very righteous?”

Silence reigned for a while among the people.

The group of players who were gathered beside Zhang Wuji were baffled.

Zhang Wuji was also taken aback for a while. He did not understand what Happy meant, but he answered despite feeling dumbfounded. “The evil cult attacked Hero’s Mountain Villa this time because they intend to destroy the righteous sects in one go. If you work together to fight against their disciples and elders right now, you will only reduce the number of casualties among those who walk down the same path as you. So naturally, working together is allowed.”

“Since Cult Master Zhang has already said these words, why are you still worried? Hurry up and help our friends over there to get rid of the evil cult elder!”

When Happy said those words, ruminating looks immediately appeared in the gazes of the people from Mu Clan. The next moment, their eyes gathered on the five people fighting against the evil cult elder!

Blood Robes and Monk with Thick Eyebrows might not have noticed it immediately, but Dream Clouds, Zhou Yu, and Lu Mingyue were top-class players who were incredibly sensitive to other people’s gazes.

Mu Clan’s gazes immediately made them on guard!

Lu Mingyue scowled and suddenly stopped attacking. He pulled back all the flying needles that had surrounded the evil cult elder to attack him while he looked at Mu Clan.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why aren’t you fighting anymore?”

Blood Robes immediately noticed Lu Mingyue’s abnormality and realized that Dream Clouds and Zhou Yu had slowed down their rhythm as well. He was shocked, but soon caught sight of what had attracted their attention.

Lu Mingyue sighed.

“Forget it, my attack is still too weak. I can’t kill this evil cult leader. You continue.”

Once he finished speaking, Lu Mingyue retreated from the battlefield and gathered together with Zhang Wuji and the group of players on the walls.
