Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

When it came to attacking a creature’s heart, he had to approach the fight carefully.

This was the first time Happy fought in a fight to the life and death in such a narrow space. When he found a chance, he attacked repeatedly, and at the moment he killed the heavily injured python, the house returned silent. There was blood everywhere, and Happy felt a sense of ease in him in the incredibly foul-smelling as well as disorderly room now that he had a burden released from his chest.

Even though the house was very narrow, and he could see everything in it from the hall with just one glance, he had already run into danger multiple times in this place.

Each step he took was filled with killing intent, and one misstep could cause him to die here.

This was different in multiple aspects from the places he went to in the past. This place could display a trap master’s ruthlessness and the details in their traps even more than any other place.

But since he remained alive, there was no way Happy will readily give up on what he should have.

The bed in the room next door remained flipped over. Foul wind came out from the black hole in it. The dark tunnel was connected to a world Happy did not know.

The dimension inside might actually be quite big, and there was a possibility that there was something no one knew about hidden inside.

‘Anyway, I already died once yesterday, so I might as well go down and take a look. There’s no reason that the cave where the python lived will have traps…’

While Happy pictured the worst case scenarios in his head, he analyzed the situation logically before he flipped over and landed in the dark as well as mysterious tunnel.

‘This sure is an amazing place.’

Shick!

The dark cave was incredibly cold and empty. The temperature was low in this place, and he could not see clearly. Happy was forced to bring out a torch and light up the path ahead of him.

When the fire was lit, the situation in the tunnel was instantly reflected in his eyes.

Before the huge cave was a cold late with water sparkling in it. At that moment, Happy was only twenty to thirty feet away from the lake.

There were plenty of bones gathered on the pile to the left. Most of them were human bones.

But strangely, there was a rather complete set of human bones on that pile. The person’s cotton clothes had already been completely torn to shreds, and the body was chained to a corner with shackles.

“Hmm?”

With his keen sight, Happy quickly noticed that this human skeleton was different from the rest. He struck with his palm, and the feeble as well as incredibly damaged cotton clothes were instantly ripped off from the skeleton. There was a silk manual made with a unique material hidden under the robes.

‘A martial art manual!’ Happy’s eyelid instantly twitched.

Dragon Capture.

He instantly captured the silk manual lying in the skeleton’s bosom. Then, under the light provided by the torch, Happy wiped off the dust on it to reveal a few words written with bold strokes.

[Indestructible Body:

[A body fortification technique. Training requirements: Affinity: 280, Arm Strength: 200, Comprehension: 240, Body Movement: 200. You can practice it at Moksha Realm.]

Happy felt lucky. ‘A body fortification manual at Moksha Realm? That’s pretty good too. Even though it’s not what I need the most right now, as of now, even the most common body fortification technique, Arhat Body, can be sold at the price of a first-class martial art manual. And all those with Moksha Realm body fortifications will be fought over by many sects. They’re very rare resources, and the value of this book should be even higher than a Moksha Realm hidden weapon technique.’

He searched through the area once, and when he was sure that there were no other discoveries in the cave, Happy brought that Indestructible Body out of the cave where the python stayed.

He searched through the house and looted two normal grade one equipment. After that, aside from the shelf in the house, there was no longer anything else that was worth paying attention to.

But at the moment he was about to leave, Happy still did not choose to touch the shelf which had countless valuable ultimate technique manuals placed in it.

One, it was just not trustworthy. Two, he had a strong feeling that nothing good will happen if he got near it. Hence, he decided to survey the area only once before he left.

*****

When Happy entered the house, it was still bright outside, but when he came out, there were already plenty of torches lit outside the courtyard, and the area outside was illuminated brightly.

At the moment he opened the door, light shone on his face.

“He’s out!”

An unfamiliar shout rose, and countless gazes were trained on him. All of them were filled with unconcealed killing intent.

A strong sense of danger suddenly surged into his heart.

Happy instantly entered an alert state where he can observe multiple aspects in an area at once.

Golden Bell Cocoon and Petite Dragon were activated at the same time.

Before the people outside the door could react, Happy had already shot out of the house.

When he saw the “Blood” emblem sewn on the martial artists’ chests, his pupils shrank a little, and he attacked even faster.

The people outside had waited for too long, and when they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, they were unable to react instantly. Besides, the people who surrounded the house were all their companions, which was why no one was in a tense and alert state. They remained relaxed until they saw a person pounce out of the house like a nimble leopard, and it was only then that they remembered that the person in front of them was not a normal Life and Death Realm player.

He had managed to get into the top sixteen in the world while everyone was in Life and Death Realm, and he was even rumored to possibly be able to defeat Blood Robes, who was among the top eight!

“Surround him!”

“Don’t let him escape!”

The group of people stood up swiftly and drew their weapons. The sounds of qi realms being activated could be heard nonstop.

A clear bark of laughter accompanied by great confidence filled the air above the courtyard. “Haha! You sure came here fast, Blood Alliance. You came sniffing after me so soon? Perfect timing. When you go back, help me send word.”

When the group of Blood Alliance members took action, they suddenly felt their visions blur. One of their own had been seized by his uniform. With one drag and yank, he was sent sprawling on the ground, and he stayed there obediently. There was still disbelief and shock on his face.

Speaking of which, this person was really unlucky.

He had originally been overjoyed when Happy headed to him, and he activated his qi realm as well as his body fortification in preparation to make this great elite from one and a half years ago to understand the difference between them in terms of qi realm.

However, right when he delivered a sword thrust, which he believed to be incredibly profound, he found that Happy did not even bother stopping in his speech to handle his attack. With a light chuckle, Happy confidently struck his hand, twisted it, and the Blood Alliance member’s world was turned upside down before he was sent sprawling on the ground.

“Get lost!”

Happy did not take that unlucky sod’s life directly. With one Vajra Sweeps the Mill, the Blood Alliance member’s one hundred pound body was instantly sent flying horizontally at the people behind him.

The group of people did not even know whether they should catch him or hide from him!

The Blood Alliance members in the courtyard instantly fell into disorder.

Some people rushed forward, and some people moved back to avoid it.

At the very back of the group was the trap master, and the sense of danger he gained was the strongest.

Since his abilities in close-quarters combat were incredibly weak, when he saw how Happy managed to throw their formation into chaos at the moment he attacked, he quickly realized that the possibility of the Sawtooth Brothers killing Happy was incredibly low. He retreated to the back of the group and began setting up traps so that his alliance members would fight against Happy.

When he rushed into the crowd, Happy let those from Blood Alliance witness what was the strength of one of the top sixteen in the world.

He will not fight head on against those in Moksha Realm while he was still in Life and Death Realm, because their equipment can absorb damage. He will not attack unless absolutely necessary, and when he did, he will strike to kill.

Whoosh!

His body moved horizontally, and a ravine that was half a foot deep appeared by Happy’s feet. It was caused by a sword force that grazed past his body.

He lowered his body.

He suddenly vanished from the sight of the group of people behind the Blood Alliance member who attacked him.

With his curled up body, he crashed into the person’s bosom and used a technique where he can use hidden force to pierce through a person’s body. At the moment the hidden force crashed into the person’s organs, he turned in that person’s bosom, as if he was a millstone.

The action might seem intimate, but each elbow strike, wrist strike, and Dragon Capture was filled with astonishing hidden force.

The Blood Alliance member shook continuously, as if he was suffering from epilepsy. He could not gather his qi together to launch a counterattack, and in an instant, his organs were shattered.

“You’re too feeble! Is this the standard for Blood Alliance?”

With a long holw, he scooped up that Blood Alliance member’s corpse and flung his arms. A sound with a thunderous crackle swept to his sides while accompanied by wind.

“Don’t injure our own.”

Happy had used fewer than three seconds since he ambushed to the moment he killed this person. the Sawtooth Brothers still did not know that the companion they brought over in their excursion had died in the shock. They just saw a black body fly over and quickly stopped their attacks to avoid him.

When they did, they exposed themselves.

Happy did not care about the attacks from the other side behind the corpse. He only paid attention to one side. Once he began his offense, he started chasing after them like a shadow and charged close to three Blood Alliance members nearby.

He did not use his eyes to look, he just used his other senses to make his judgment.

Right when the trio withdrew their offense, Happy immediately seized the chance.

Dragon Capture!

At the moment the person to the left noticed the danger, he had already been dragged over against his will. His body froze up. He did not even have time to fire off a warning before he felt a pressure on his throat, and he heard the sound of his bones cracking.

Happy had used this method to instantly kill Zhou Yu in the other world.

He originally thought that it might not work against a Moksha Realm elite, but since his high foundation in Arm Strength had actually allowed him to successfully execute this attack, and the Blood Alliance member only had himself to blame for his low Affinity.

At that moment, when he killed, he did so with the goal to be able to kill even more people.

Without ever changing his expression, he pushed against the Blood Alliance member and used his back to flip over to another person. He used the momentum to execute a Demon Subduing Vajra Kick.

The fierce kick came from above and rammed against that dumbfounded person so viciously that he fell face flat against the ground in an incredibly pathetic manner.

Bang!

Right when the third person realized what was going on, he saw the alliance member with the broken neck fly toward him.

Since Happy had 265 Arm Strength, he could easily turn that person into a hidden weapon.

This was already the third time.

Happy soared in the sky.

His greatest advantage laid in him not having to worry about his non-existent companions, which allowed him to fight as he pleased and destroy the environment.

But Blood Alliance’s greatest advantage, which was their numbers, received a great limit. In the chaos, they continuously had their vision impaired by Happy, and they were too cautious, because they were worried about hurting their own.

When the fourth person was knocked unconscious and thrown over via Dragon Capture, the Sawtooth Brothers were finally unable to continue withstanding this humiliation!

“Move!”

This time, they called more than twenty people over. One of the reasons was for them to publicize their fame and for them to serve as witnesses. The other was for them to prevent Happy from escaping.

They would not have expected that Happy would release such a terrifying and explosive strength in front of more than twenty people, and in the blink of an eye, he destroyed three of them in one go as well as injured two others. Their companions did not even manage to intimidate them. Instead, they caused them to be overly cautious and be unable to get closer.

When they saw that the situation was becoming worse, they were finally unable to hold themselves back but to give their orders to make their members stand down.

Whoosh!

The sound of metal scratching against the air was heard.

The Sawtooth Brothers stared at Happy as if he stepped on an alliance member’s neck. Their faces were dark as they held their sawtooth sabers, which shone with a savage and bloodthirsty light.

“It’s over now.”

“Is it?”

As if Happy did not hear Sawtooth Brother’s exasperated declaration, he surveyed the ten or so Blood Alliance members behind the duo, and he smiled faintly.

“The fun has just begun for me, though…”
