Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

There was only one evil cult elder at the palace!

At the instant the door opened, he snapped out of his meditative state. Anger flashed through his face, and an intimidating light shone in his eyes, which were fixed on Happy’s face.

He was quite stunned upon examining it.

“How did you get here?!”

It was only at that moment that the evil cult elder noticed that there was something wrong.

The disciples in the three palaces and three halls might belong to different elders in Sky Demon Secret Cave, but they did not dare to go to the six elders’ isolation grounds without being summoned.

When he saw an unfamiliar young face walk into the palace, he was first alerted before his eyes moved past his shoulder and landed on the training ground.

The mixed battle cries from more than one hundred evil cult disciples formed waves that reached his ears.

There were more than twenty corpses in the training ground.

The evil cult elder placed his hands behind his back and looked away with sparkling eyes. He then redirected his gaze to Happy to size him up. Even though his expression was slightly solemn and wary, when he faced a youngster who did not seem to be over twenty, if he had to be honest, the seventy-eighty years old evil cult elder found it hard to sense any sort of threat from him.

At the end of the day, it was just a young warrior who was at Life and Death Realm. Even if he were a disciple of a famous sect, his abilities would still be limited.

The evil cult elder stood up slowly, and an old and mighty voice slowly filled the palace. “Answer me! How did you get in here?! How did you obtain Sky Demon Orders, and how did you get through the Land of Despair and Death?! How did you get here?!”

When the evil cult elder rose, released his qi, and his fierce gaze landed on Happy’s face, it was a huge pressure that descended on his target.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Happy.

It was not the first time he fought against evil cult elders. There were quite a number of elites at the level of evil cult elders who had died in his hands, and they included an evil cult great elder.

The person in front of him was at most a normal Inaction Realm martial artist.

Happy remained calm under the evil cult elder’s aura. He was very composed as he walked slowly into the palace.

When he faced the man’s fierce and questioning gaze, he said, “That’s all there is to Sky Demon Sect, hmm? How dare you make a ruckus and dream about destroying those who walk the righteous path in the world of martial artists? You want to rise from ashes? What a joke.”

His last three words dropped in tone swiftly. They were loud and clear, and instantly angered the evil cult elder like a clap of thunder.

“Where did you come from, brat?! How dare you cause trouble in Sky Demon Secret Cave!” The evil cult elder was so enraged that he laughed, and his voice was like a wave that swept madly through the palace!

Happy said nothing.

When the evil cult elder urged his qi to circulate in him, circles of visible sound waves appeared in the palace, and they rushed to every direction in an endless stream!

Happy naturally had to bear the brunt of the attack, since he stood in front of the old man. However, he did not mind an attack of this caliber. He stood firmly and withstood the sound wave attack from the evil cult elder’s qi like an immovable mountain.

His robes fluttered madly, but he never took even half a step back. He did not activate his Golden Bell Cocoon but only used Nine Yang Divine Skill to withstand the impact from the evil cult elder’s attacks.

An astonishing scene instantly appeared in the palace.

Two people faced each other without moving!

The sound waves charged at Happy, who was dressed in normal robes, and they did so with the force of an avalanche.

It might have made it look like he was caught in a storm, but he was incredibly calm. It was as if roots had grown under his feet. He stood firmly in the storm and simply allowed his robes to fly back. His expression did not change.

A ball of fiery-red light surrounding his body withstood the invasion of the sound waves all around him. It repeatedly swelled up and contracted to spread out the pressure around him so the world around him would not affect him, and he gave off an air that said that no matter how strong his opponent was, he would just continue doing what he needed to do.

As for the evil cult elder, when he noticed that the pressure did not intimidate Happy, he gradually used his full strength to fight. He used his qi to make the youth automatically submit to him, but even if he released all his qi, Happy seemed to have an endless amount of it himself and was not afraid of engaging in a fight with qi. He continued to remain at the peak of his condition with a relaxed expression on his face.

As time passed, beads of cold sweat quickly covered the evil cult elder’s forehead!

Momo and Phantasmal Shadow’s respective fights also drew close to the end.

Even though Momo did not have Happy helping her, her Throw Spirit Sphere and Wind God Technique were not something that normal evil cult disciples could withstand.

The training ground turned into a grave heading to hell!

More than one hundred evil cult disciples were slaughtered till scattering, and this happened within a short time. More than thirty corpses were strewn all over the place, and they went right up to the roof of the palace with the golden bell.

Since their area of movement was fixed, the evil cult disciples could not hope to withstand Momo’s attacks and speed, but the people who encircled Phantasmal Shadow and the others were incredibly enthusiastic and frenzied.

Even though corpses were thrown down the roof one after another, they had to be very careful when they faced the attacks from seventy to eighty Moksha Realm elites and had to make sure that no one sounded the bell. They simply could not take the initiative to attack and had to fight against many opponents at the same time.

In fact, they could not even avoid many of the attacks. They often had to use their bodies to withstand various attacks to prevent the remaining force from touching the golden bell and calling out the evil cult elders from the three palaces and halls to egress beforehand.

Whoosh!

A purplish-red whip shadow flew about the roof like lightning. Every time clear and terrifying sonic booms rose, an afterimage swept at an evil cult disciple.

The next moment, they were flung off the roof.

Whenever the offense in a direction was interrupted, Wu Kuo and the others would immediately sense the pressure on them being reduced. Then, they could help others in their defense and make sure that the golden bell was never struck.

However, even Wu Kuo was hit many times by the evil cult disciples to protect the golden bell.

Fortunately, him and the others were all rather powerful people in the world of martial artists. Their strength and defense were pretty good, and they had no problems with withstanding a few rounds of attacks. With medicinal pills supporting them, they managed to last through the assault.

Phantasmal Shadow and Momo were in charge of attacking from outside the circle and intercepting the evil cult disciples’ offense.

The two women were like two hammers. Every single time they attacked, they killed at least two evil cult disciples. With the effect of Wind Spirit Spin, the evil cult disciples fell all over the place.

The number of evil cult disciples was quickly reduced from more than eighty to only around thirty!

When another three minutes passed, the evil cult disciples’ number was reduced to fewer than twenty!

However, as time passed, the evil cult disciples adopted a fighting style that would guarantee both sides being heavily injured, since their goal was always the golden bell. Wu Kuo and the others were covered in no fewer than ten wounds, and they were drenched in blood.

At that moment, Wu Kuo’s chest was struck when he jumped forward to protect a friend, and he shouted in pain and anger, but he still used all his strength to kill the evil cult disciple who ambushed him. Then, he lost his strength and fell on one knee while panting.

It was very difficult for him to continue fighting after that. Even though he had Dew Pills, it took time for the pills to heal his injuries and restore his qi, and both needed to be prioritized.

“Careful!”

Momo resolutely put away her Nation Protecting Divine Sword, turned around, and jabbed at the air repeatedly with both hands to kill all the evil cult disciples who drew close to Wu Kuo.

Phantasmal Shadow also noticed that Wu Kuo and the other three were heavily injured. They had lost their abilities to fight, so her whip momentum changed, and with a lightning fast offense, she struck repeatedly like a storm. Her whip shadows shot out like a vortex, and quite a large number of evil cult disciples were instantly sent flying off the roof.

Boom!

One of the evil cult disciples suddenly missed his footing, and the palace finally could not withstand the people’s repeated abuse. It collapsed with a bang, and many evil cult disciples fell.

The expressions of Phantasmal Shadow, Momo, and the others changed instantly!
