Sword Among Us

If the eldest senior brother of Sword Sect could be said to have reached the middle stage of Inaction Realm, then the two young Sword Sect disciples in front of Happy had just reached Inaction Realm. And now, they faced him, whose strength had increased by 20% and whose Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had reached its peak in terms of momentum.

“ROAR!”

One palm strike!

With just one palm strike, the duo noticed that the situation was off. Their sword force was instantly shattered. The power in Happy’s palm was as great as a mountain pushing down on them, and it caused them to have breathing difficulties.

Bang! Bang!

The two shuddered and lost their power to fight while airborne.

Before the duo could do anything else, Happy’s expression became stern. His hands moved incredibly quickly as they formed the shape of claws—Double Dragon Capture!

The powerful force pulled the duo so fiercely that they froze.

Shock appeared on their faces.

They had just exchanged blows, and it allowed them to sense the disparity of strength between them.

But unfortunately for them, Happy did not want to give them any chances.

If he could not kill all Sword Sect disciples, he would not just lose Heaven Crystal, but would also have to live a life of being constantly hunted, and that was not something he wanted to see.

Before his feet landed on the ground, he clenched his fists loosely in the air, performed a straight left, and a right hook.

The young Sword Sect disciples quickly noticed that a presence that caused their souls to shiver surged out of Happy’s body!

“Run!”

Their faces turned pale.

Right when they recovered from their injuries and their feet landed on the ground, they circulated their qi. Both people then tapped against the ground and fled without hesitation.

A pity for them, at the moment Happy and the two Sword Sect disciples landed on the ground, he completed the uppercut and hammerfist.

“ROAR!”

A large golden dragon shot out from Happy’s palm-generated wind.

Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets!

The air froze, and fangs were bared!

The two Sword Sect disciples only felt a huge wave that covered the entire area rush toward them. Their bodies shuddered, and the power shot through their bodies.

Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets was the strongest profound skill in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and it was a skill that used up two hundred qi points, but was something even the evil cult grand elder was not able to survive unschathed. And if the grand elder could not handle it, there was no need to speak about two Sword Sect disciples who had already been hit by Happy’s palms and were injured.

Usually, Happy would not use this technique often, but he had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill. His qi had reached a high of 620 points, and he no longer had such a hard time executing his techniques as he did in the past.

To quickly reach his goal of killing the people, Happy did not hold back on executing his ultimate techniques.

He watched as the duo froze in their positions for a few seconds before their life completely drained away and they fell to the ground. Then, Happy breathed a sigh of relief.

He redirected his gaze at the sword casket lying quietly behind him.

Whoosh!

Sixth had helplessly watched as his two companions were killed by the young and mysterious elite. He finally got rid of his thoughts of snatching Heaven Crystal and instead tapped against the ground to flee desperately.

In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of feet away!

“You can’t run!”

Happy scowled. The snow beneath his feet let out a crunching sound, and he shot forward.

At the moment he chased after Sixth, he shaped his hand into the form of a claw.

Dragon Capture!

The sword casket lying on the snowy ground looked as if it was sucked by a magnet. With a thud, it landed in Happy’s grasp.

Happy moved like lightning. He brought with him wind and snow from the cedar forest and gradually closed the distance between him and the Sword Sect disciple!

When Sixth saw that Happy did not want to let him go even after he obtained Heaven Crystal, a resolute look of malice appeared in his eyes. “Alright! Since you’re determined not to let me live, I’ll die together with you!”

He switched directions and ran toward Heaven Shaker Fortress.

Happy said nothing.

He quickly realized why Sword Sect’s Sixth had changed his path.

His expression changed slightly before it became calm once more.

“I’d like to see how you’ll kill me with a sword casket in hand.”

Sword Sect’s Sixth was determined to flee. He did not care about the use of his qi and just madly circulated it to increase his speed.

Even though the distance between the duo kept shortening, Sixth used the cedar forest around him to hold Happy back from advancing.

His sword force moved like blades.

Whoosh!

A large number of trees that had a lot of annual growth rings were cut down by Sixth. They fell down slowly, and with a whoosh, they caused snow to fly all over in the air.

Sixth passed by them at the perfect moment, and the large cedars blocked Happy’s path.

This happened a few times, and Happy was incredibly frustrated by it, but he could do nothing about it, hence, the distance between them widened!

Fortunately, the cedar forest was not large.

When the duo charged out of it, Happy finally started to close the distance between them again.

Six and a half feet, three feet…

The distance between them just kept becoming shorter, and it made Sixth’s expression become dark and savage.

“Die!”

He swung his sword without even turning his head around. A sharp sword force came sweeping at Happy horizontally.

With Petite Dragon around, it was very difficult for this sort of attack to be of any threat to Happy, and it could not stop him from his goal of closing the distance between them.

However, Heaven Shaker Fortress gradually showed up on the snow white horizon and slowly became clearer.

“Haha!” Sword Sect’s Sixth laughed madly. “Just continue chasing me! Once we enter Heaven Shaker Fortress, I’d like to see whether you can still keep Heaven Crystal!”

Once he finished speaking, he let out a long whistle. His voice quickly spread into the distance.

Happy’s expression turned even darker.

“You’re just asking for death!”

But what the Sword Sect elite said was true.

As they drew close to Heaven Shaker Fortress, it grew harder for him to kill Sixth, and since he only had one hand, he could not bring out the full power of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Even Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets, which had the greatest damage, required two hands to execute it. Hence, even when Happy got close, Sixth might be able to survive until Heaven Shaker Fortress elites came over.

If Happy continued chasing, it would be dangerous.

But he had already fought against Sixth for a long time, and Sixth had an understanding toward his skills. He also knew Happy’s face. If he lost Heaven Crystal and went back to tell the people in Sword Sect, the Sword Sect Master would definitely search for him. There was no way he would help Happy keep it a secret.

At that time, all the people in the world of martial arts might choose to hunt him down.

That was why, no matter what, he had to kill Sixth! He could not let a single person from that group of Sword Sect disciples live!

A great wave of killing intent shone in Happy’s eyes.

Suddenly, he thought of one move.

It was a move that did not belong to him, but when he was in Sword Crafting Hall, he saw and remembered the Sword Sect Master’s fight against the evil aura from Heaven Crystal. Nine Yang Divine Crystal had clearly recorded every minor detail of the Sword Sect Master’s qi circulation at that time.

That mysterious qi circulation was much stronger, but it was also rather dangerous.

Happy recalled it quietly while he chased after Sixth. He began to silently circulate his qi based on what he sensed and understood at that time in Sword Crafting Hall.

His qi surged through the eight extraordinary meridians. He gathered and compressed all his sword qi in one spot before he forced them into another meridian system.

When he was halfway through circulating it, an abnormal shade of red showed up on his face.

He pushed his index finger and middle finger together!

At the instant sharp pain and the feeling of weakness that a person would sense when all their qi was drained from their body filled Happy, he looked at Sixth’s back and jabbed at the air laboriously.

Shick!

A blinding white light flashed.
