Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Even if it was nighttime, Happy could still keenly and clearly see every single small change within a circular area of 328 feet, which meant that he could absolutely see a group of Mongolian cavaliers holding torches and rushing over to them.

The Mongolian cavaliers’ attire was exactly the same as the cavaliers they saw before—they were decked in light metal scale armor. Their gazes were fierce, and their number had increased greatly. It seemed like a few patrol teams had gathered together.

“Thirty-five cavaliers… That’s the same as seven patrol squads!”

When Yu Yan faced the enemies who were coming at them from the distance in an aggressive manner, Yu Yan finally had a hint of nervousness appear on her face. She tightened her grip over her demonic blade while she continuously tried to search for a breakthrough point in the group charging toward them. It was clear that she did not have a lot of experience in being battle ready like this usually, but her equipment and weapon gave her quite a lot of courage.

At that moment, a steady voice entered his ears. “Seven torches. Three hundred and fifty points.”

Right when surprise showed on her face, Yu Yan noticed that an abnormality by her side. Then, she noticed that Chen Kai had already taken the initiative to charge to the Mongolian armored cavaliers like a black plume of smoke.

Visibility was not very great at the plains during night. Hence, Chen Kai was like a black phantom that charged toward the cavaliers with a speed that was not very astonishing but still quick regardless. He showed no signs of hesitating or dilly-dallying.

Thud thud!

Almost at the same time, the Mongolian cavaliers rushing at them drew their bows, and arrows that were like black lightning bolts show to Chen Kai, who entered the areas lit by the torches.

‘Danger!’

Her eyelids twitched. Yu Yan could sense the arrows that traveled at a frightening speed, and they were so ridiculously fast that they were even faster than the arrows fired from players who mastered Life and Death Realm bow techniques.

And just as she expected, Chen Kai’s body was instantly shot full of holes, and his figure was torn apart like raindrops.

‘…Huh? Torn?!’

She was slightly stunned, and Yu Yan quickly noticed that the situation was not right.

The Chen Kai who was torn through by the arrow shower was actually Chen Kai’s afterimage, which was formed under extreme speed. Dozens of arrows pierced through the ground, and their shafts were buried under the earth!

At the same time, Chen Kai shifted, and because of the fast horses as well as his explosive speed, he instantly arrived in front of the group of cavaliers, even though they had a distance of dozens of feet between them previously.

Happy did not even need to use Petite Dragon to avoid those arrows. The Mongolian cavaliers were so fast when they fired their arrows that they had already attacked when Happy noticed their actions. But because of it, Happy only needed to instantly increase his speed while he traveled on the ground, and he can easily avoid it.

That was why sometimes, it might not be necessarily good if something was too fast.

Whoosh!

He flew above the group of Mongolian cavaliers, and his longsword, which had been accumulating strength for a long time, instantly released a fierce sword glare that formed a circle!

Wind Spirit Spin!

Since his Flying Dragon Sword Technique was at Grandmaster Realm, with his Wind Spirit Spin at Grandmaster Realm, the attack he executed was like a halo that shot out and swept viciously at the patrolling cavaliers who did not manage to stop in time.

Most of the thirty-five cavaliers were enveloped within the sword glare.

But Happy could clearly sense that most of the damage he delivered on the twenty-three people who were directly struck by his attacks was absorbed by the scale armor they wore. Only five people were instantly killed when the sword glare cut through their throats!

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Pained screams rose. The force within the sword force shoved the Mongolian armored cavaliers off their horses, and they crashed against the ground.

Yu Yan, who was dozens of feet away, stared at all that transpired with a dumbfounded look. She was shocked by all that Chen Kai showed.

During the previous few ambushes, she also gradually noticed that Chen Kai had extraordinary strength. He could always kill those Mongolian cavaliers in one blow, and because of it, she also made a judgment in her heart that Chen Kai was actually stronger than her, but she was still deeply amazed by the scene in front of her.

The entire process of him taking the initiative to attack, avoid the Mongolian cavaliers’ arrows, and sweeping down the enemy was done in one go. The difficulty in this made her sigh in astonishment, and she was so shocked that she forgot to attack, until the Mongolian cavaliers who fell off their horses rolled off the ground, drew their sabers, and swung their weapons at Happy.

*****

He managed to kill five people in one go and sweep more than ten people off their horses. This result was pretty good, but it also caused Happy to be in a very dangerous situation. At the moment he landed on the ground, he was surrounded by the remaining thirty people.

These thirty Mongolian cavaliers were all fearless warriors who had fought for years in war. Their reaction was fast, and they were dexterous. As long as the people who were struck by the sword glares were not fatally wounded, their mobility will not be affected. They can soon counterattack and surround their enemy.

Clang clang!

Clear sounds rose, and sabers were drawn.

There was a small group of people who held torches in one hand and axes in the other. They swung their axes at Happy’s face at lightning speed. The light from the torches flickered with crackling sounds, dazzling all those who saw it.

Clang! Clang!

Even Happy found it a little hard to fight when he was surrounded by thirty elite soldiers whose strength was comparable to Inaction Realm martial artists. He continued to dodge and block in the crowd while he searched for a chance to break out of the encirclement at the same time.

“I’ll help you!”

When she saw Chen Kai’s situation, Yu Yan did not continue sitting by the side to watch. With a soft cry, she charged forward like the wind and instantly arrived outside the battlefield.

A few Mongolian cavaliers instantly had their attention drawn.

While Happy killed the remaining steeds of the Mongolian cavaliers, he shouted a warning at Yu Yan, “Careful! You must absolutely not be surrounded! Help me attract their attention outside, but don’t be surrounded!”

Even after a few rounds of attacks, Happy was not heavily injured. But the repeated blocks still caused him to suffer some minor setbacks. The Arm Strength within the Mongolian cavaliers was a little terrifying, and their teamwork as well as endless attacks could make normal elites to have a hard time dealing with them. If Happy did not have the intention of having Yu Yan quickly familiarize herself with the brutality and dangers of the battlefield, he would have used Universe’s Lightning Destruction to kill them all a long time ago.

“Alright!”

Yu Yan had already witnessed Chen Kai’s strength. Right now, when she heard Chen Kai say this, she naturally understood what he meant. She stopped moving forward, and when she faced five Mongolian cavaliers charging at her to surround her, she tapped against the ground, turned around, and fled to widen the distance between them, allowing her to avoid the deliberate encirclement by the five cavaliers in time.

The Mongolian cavaliers, naturally, will not let give up just like that.

They continued chasing after her without giving up.

But at the same time Yu Yan turned around and fled, the demonic blade suddenly flung out a piercing sword glare that shot into one of the Mongolian cavalier’s foreheads.

“That’s an amazing Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon!”

Praising words traveled into her ears on the plains at the opportune moment.

“You praise me too much.”

Yu Yan felt a little smug, but she did not relax her guard.

However, she had an even higher appraisal of Chen Kai’s strength. Even though Chen Kai now had five fewer enemies and his pressure had lessened slightly, his feat of multi-tasking and paying attention to her side while he faced an encirclement of twenty-five enemies was definitely not something a normal elite could do.

Even when the first Mongolian cavalier died, Yu Yan still remained alert. While she retreated and maintained a distance from her pursuers, she attacked continuously with her sword. She killed two people smoothly and without hesitation before she turned around.

When he saw this, Happy released a sigh of relief and was now completely at ease.

Even though Yu Yan’s technique was clearly not comparable to Silver Wolf and the rest of the top-class elites, she did indeed have a clear grasp of the Mongolian cavaliers’ weakness—They did not have body fortifications, and they did not have the instinct to defend themselves against fatal attacks that came at them at an explosive speed.

This was especially prominent at night. Since they were near the main camp, they were even easier to kill compared to the patrols they met during the day, because they will not run. As long as Yu Yan remained calm and was not surrounded while she utilized her advantage in speed and kept a distance as she seized opportunities to kill her enemies in one go, she will not be slow when she killed for points.

But the sounds of horse hooves and the light from torches rose from multiple directions at that moment in the night!
