Sword Among Us

Happy did not spend a lot of time getting rid of the large wolf. The damage of Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style was about the same when compared to Arrogant Dragon’s Regrets. What it really lacked was a sword will that could make the sword technique even sharper and destructive.

Regardless of speed or damage, Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style could already compare to Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!

This was something Happy knew very clearly.

What it lacked was the defense Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms provided to the user when it attacked its enemies.

Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style attacked without holding back. It maximized speed, so it was rather lacking in terms of defense. Besides, if it fought head-on against Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms before its user understood sword will, the user of Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style would be forced back by the profound secret of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which allowed it to become stronger as time passed.

Every time Happy attacked with the sword, he heard a voice in his heart telling him that the sword technique could be faster.

It forced him to continuously attack and swing his sword nonstop.

He stood near Recondite Steel Gate and scowled while he thought about it deeply. He recalled how he attacked as if he was playing a movie in his head.

A few minutes passed.

It was only then that Happy activated Recondite Steel Gate and entered the corridor to Sky Demon Secret Cave!

He avoided a lot of traps with a great sense of familiarity, and soon, he arrived at the broken bridge.

He increased his speed to the max to get through the corridor of traps filled with rolling stones without any danger. He had a lot of experience with it, and he could get through it even with his eyes closed.

Happy had exceptional spiritual senses, so Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snake were basically spotlights in the dark. He could flick them away ahead of time and put all of them into his Universe Bag.

He did not stop along the way until he reached the smiling Maitreya.

In the past, every time he faced this person, Happy would let him run. He had never heard of anyone being able to take care of this person, who was matchless in his ability to flee.

However, Happy had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill and reached Moksha Realm. It was inevitable then that he would think about killing the smiling Maitreya.

Once he got rid of this unique NPC, he would definitely get a special supreme grade martial arts manual, a secret ultimate technique, or a divine weapon, demon vessel, or something.

But what Happy did not expect was that the Sky Demon Sect disciples who resembled children, along with the smiling Maitreya, would look shocked and turn pale when they saw him. Then, they turned tail and ran.

During the moment Happy was stunned, the group of Sky Demon Sect disciples and the smiling Maitreya opened the stone gate behind them and ran away without a second glance back

Happy was rendered speechless.

The plot seemed to have changed!

He sucked in a sharp breath and dispelled his original goal of training.

He could guess that his Moksha Realm qi realm had triggered some sort of plot, since the situation right then was something that he had never heard of in his previous life.

Besides, if it was a quest at Moksha Realm, then its difficulty would definitely be quite high.

“Looks like I’ll have to forget about training in Sky Demon Secret Cave.” Happy’s expression was unpleasant.

The greatest boss had always been the evil cult great elder, who was at the peak of Inaction Realm. If the difficulty of the quest increased, there were only two possibilities. One of them was that Sky Demon Sect’s master would take the initiative to release Fire Qilin to cause trouble. The other possibility was that there was a Myth Realm martial artist that served as a garrison in Sky Demon Sect.

It would be good if it were the former.

If it were the latter…

Happy scowled! He sucked in a deep breath and could not help but assume the worst.

He entered the cave where Fire Qilin was.

The hot temperature was not at all intimidating to Nine Yang Divine Skill. Happy shot forward, and soon, he arrived in front of the entrance to the five tunnels.

The second tunnel to the right was the one that was spontaneously opened for the quest to save Song Yuanqiao. Right now, since there was no quest, only the second one to the right should be safe.

But when Happy’s gaze landed on the second tunnel to the right, he saw a faint red light from inside.

Fire Qilin!

He frowned and remembered his main goal in coming.

He wanted to meet Fire Qilin and use its sturdy body to practice Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style. After all, only Myth Realm opponents could help him swiftly improve his Moksha Realm martial arts.

Happy pondered it for a while before he changed his equipment and rushed into the second tunnel to the right while holding Seventh Sword.

“Roar!”

Before he got inside, he already heard Fire Qilin’s roar. At the same time, a crazed and violent sound rose. It sounded like something being struck, as if someone was fighting fiercely.

Happy was puzzled and shocked. He did not say anything and just increased his speed carefully.

As he went deeper inside, the air ahead of him clearly became hotter. The tunnel was very dark, and if it were not for the red light ahead of him slightly illuminating the area, it would have been very difficult for him to see what was happening in front of him.

The sounds gradually became louder, and the violent wind caused by objects crashing into each other grew as well. Fire Qilin’s roars were tainted with a hint of pain, which made it clear that it found it hard to take the attacks. It seemed to be injured. The temperature in the tunnel increased exponentially and entered a berserk state.

The temperature kept increasing!

A violent wind continued traveling out of the other end of the tunnel.

Happy was forced to activate Nine Yang Divine Skill to resist the waves of heat that came charging at his face!

He slowed down and tip-toed to the next corner.

He quietly craned his head outward.

It would have been better if he did not look, because once he did, the first thing he thought was ‘Why are those two here?!’

Inside were the two northern clan Dharma protectors he had met at Sword Crafting Hall of Heaven Shaking Fortress. They were the elders who had mastered Great Saber Breaking Art, but for some reason, they had appeared in Sky Demon Secret Cave.

Each of them held a saber that shone with dazzling light. One of them was gold, and the other was silver. They used those sabers to fight against the beast.

Fire Qilin had more than ten wounds on its body. Its skin was torn and bleeding, and blood dropped everywhere. There were about twenty or more damaged scales scattered on the ground.

“Who goes there?!”

When Happy craned his head forward, he was instantly noticed by the duo. They shouted sternly, and the Dharma protector who held the silver saber left the battlefield. His dazzling saber force shone brilliantly.

Happy was fortunate enough to have witnessed the might of Great Saber Breaking Art from the two Dharma protectors before. He knew what would happen if a slash landed on him. He pulled his head back and withdrew several feet.

Boom!

The tunnel shuddered madly.

A gash that was several feet deep was cut into the wall of the tunnel.

The old Dharma protector with the silver saber appeared outside the entrance of the tunnel. He narrowed his eyes slightly while staring at Happy. Shock appeared on his face upon examining him.

“A boy? By the looks of it, you’re not someone from Sky Demon Sect, but you’re pretty good. Tell me, who are you and why are you here?!”

“I am Happy, and I am a disciple of the Murong Clan. I didn’t know that you were here fighting against Fire Qilin. Sorry for bothering you.”

Happy would have never guessed that there would be two Myth Realm martial artists appeared in one go. He stood more than thirty feet away and answered without daring to be inattentive.

“Murong Clan’s Happy… I see, you’re Blue-robed Hero Happy of Gusu City’s Murong Clan. You’re famous all over the world of martial arts. You’re young, but the implication of your title is great.”

When the Dharma protector with the silver saber saw that Happy was not someone from the evil cult, the killing intent of his sword faded away, and he said cordially, “Tell me, what is your goal for coming here?”

Even though he had a cordial expression, Happy did not dare relax for even a moment. As the old man drew closer to him, he slowly retreated and said while he thought about it, “I came here because—”

Before he could finish speaking, the old Dharma protector with the silver saber suddenly brought out a black stone that had been vibrating nonstop from his waist, and his expression changed. He cried out in surprise and looked at Happy with a cold, fierce look.

“There’s an abnormality in Destroyed Metal Powder… Heaven Crystal is with you! Haha! We couldn’t find it no matter where we looked previously, but now, we can get it without any problem!”

Mad laughter spread through the tunnel, and it was deafening to the ears.

Happy’s expression changed drastically!

He said nothing else, tapped against the ground, and retreated swiftly!
