Sword Among Us
chapter-199

Situ Luoyu intentionally let Solitary Perpetual Joy do whatever they wanted, and because of it, Perpetual Joy Sect and Happy’s party clashed against each other, bringing up sparks that refused to disappear. As Happy personally joined the fray, he easily grabbed someone from Perpetual Joy Sect, and the sight instantly made Solitary Perpetual Joy fly into a rage! It was as if someone had just slapped his face right in front of him, and his expression became incredibly sour!

But Happy was a veteran with great battle experience. When faced with the encirclement by a group of elites from Perpetual Joy Sect, he knew that even if he had his Golden Bell Cocoon at the seventh realm protecting him, he would not be able to receive the next round of powerful attacks without any damage to his health. Once he captured a person, he used them as a shield and a target to execute his Stormy Shadowless Kick.

Perpetual Joy Sect became cautious of attacking because one of their own companion in Happy’s hands. They could only watch them flutter like a torn leaf under Happy’s violent attacks. The player trembled violently. In a short time, he had withstood no less than twenty punches and kicks. He simply could not seize control over his body. The clear sound of his bones cracking was heard constantly from within him!

Blood gushed into the air.

At the same time, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, Thunderous Battle, and Little North went up against the elites from Perpetual Joy Sect without any fear.

In the face of the top-tier elites who came at them with an incredibly powerful aura, the three people’s eyes burned with fighting spirit and even more fighting spirit. They had absolutely no fear toward Perpetual Joy Sect’s advantage over them in terms of strength and numbers.

Situ Luoyu said nothing. He could see everything in great detail from the side. He was also the first to notice that the trio beside Happy did not seem to be weak. The young man who had managed to threaten Solitary Perpetual Joy previously and controlled two zombies seemed to be the most flippant and had the least experience in the party. Yet even though his lightness skill and body fortification skill were incredibly normal, any average player would find it hard to receive his unexpectedly brutal palm strike.

The more eye-catching and built man had rather good equipment, a high-tier body fortification technique, and the glare of his sword was dazzling to the eye. He moved around like a broadsword swung around wildly, and he did not care at all about the pressure and momentum of Perpetual Joy Sect. His attacks were delivered at medium speed, but they were bold, and some of Happy’s style could even be found in them.

The last person was also the person who posed the greatest threat to Situ Luoyu.

Even though his actions were not as outstanding and sudden as those of Thunderous Battle and Little North, he drifted about and moved without a clear direction, making it hard for others to predict his next step. Clearly, his high-tier lightness skill had reached a high level. This sort of person was the scariest, because he was matchless in terms of speed and could thus go up against a bunch of elites!

Situ Luoyu quickly synthesized all the information he gained from his observations and came to the conclusion he did not dare to believe, but which he was forced to believe.

Solitary Perpetual Joy and the eleven people by his side might actually be unable to kill Happy. His three party members also had their own ways to protect themselves and their own killing techniques. None of them were easy to deal with, and if both sides really decided to fight until one of them died, the possibility of Perpetual Joy Sect suffering greater losses was actually higher by a mile.

“Stop!” When he figured out the subtleties, Situ Luoyu scowled and was finally unable to hold himself back. “Brother Perpetual Joy, Brother Happy, there has never been any bad blood between us, why should we destroy the harmony between us because of one small argument? Please stop on my behalf.”

He did not forget his greatest goal for coming to Fox Cave.

Right then, he had not yet found Red Dust. Situ Luoyu did not want the appearance of Happy’s party to complicate things and cause even more unexpected accidents.

But right as he finished speaking, an accident happened.

Bang!

The person Happy captured had suffered dozens of violent attacks continuously, and his mouth was full of blood. The final attack then sent him crashing into Perpetual Joy Sect’s people.

The group’s formation was thrown into chaos, and Little North seized the chance. With Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms, he struck a powerful player who was busy avoiding his zombies. His poisonous black claw appeared above that person’s head without a sound.

“How dare you?!”

Solitary Perpetual Joy’s eyes flashed fiercely. He raised his hand swiftly and without any flourish.

Bang!

With a thunderous boom, he decided to attack first and seize the initiative with his own palm strike.

Little North did not notice and did not slow down at all.

Bang! Bang!

A black figure flashed past him.

A zombie moved to his side and withstood Solitary Perpetual Joy’s palm strike. It was then sent flying horizontally and crashed into Little North like a log of rotten wood.

However, the people from Perpetual Joy Sect were also successfully ambushed by Little North. Five wounds that contained black aura had been torn open on the elite’s shoulder. He tumbled from the force of the attack while spinning.

Shick!

Right after Little North succeeded in his attack, the person All-powerful Medicinal Stone had been eyeing finally revealed a weakness. He swiftly and decisively stabbed him in the back. The unfortunate player’s blood died part of the second level of Fox Cave red.

When it came to individual fights, Little North only managed to not lose by relying on his two zombie puppets’ reckless fighting methods. However, the people from Perpetual Joy Sect had mainly focused their attention on Happy and Thunderous Battle, so it was only natural that they would suffer losses from Little North and All-powerful Medicinal Stone sneak attacks because of it.

On the other hand, Thunderous Battle, who fought by the book and had an extraordinary presence did not manage to get himself any kills.

In total however, within the short period of time the two sides had fought, one person from Perpetual Joy Sect had died, and two were heavily injured.

As for Happy’s side, only one insignificant zombie had been heavily injured. Little North had been struck too, but his injury was light.

Such achievements surpassed Fallen Feathers Sect’s expectation, and it also made Perpetual Joy Sect suffer an unprecedented humiliation. They felt challenged!

Solitary Perpetual Joy did not care about Situ Luoyu’s words, despite the man trying his best to be a mediator. He gritted his teeth and swiftly flung aside the two zombies, formed his palm into the shape of claws, and exchanged blows with Little North head on.

He was a Mystical Realm player who had a high-tier body fortification technique and a high-tier lightness skill. There was no way Little North could go up against him.

“Cough!”

Little North’s body trembled. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and he coughed up blood before being sent flying.

One of his own had died, so Solitary Perpetual Joy made the decision to kill one person to retain his prestige. He had to rebuild his dignity before anything else. He could care less about the others and just kept his gaze fixed on Little North while delivering another palm strike.

“Let’s go!”

Fortunately, All-powerful Medicinal Stone extracted himself quickly. When he saw that Little North was in danger, his white sword glare sliced through the air like a sheet of silk. It temporarily blocked Solitary Perpetual Joy. With a low cry, he delivered a few slashes and protected Little North so that he could leave.

“Hmph!”

Solitary Perpetual Joy snorted loudly. With his high-tier body fortification technique, he struck away All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s longsword and pounced on Little North like a huge bird while the latter staggered backwards.

At that moment, a clear and cold voice echoed from the entrance to the chamber.

“Enough!”

Whoosh!

The sound of robes fluttering could be heard, and a person tossed Little North into the air at an incredible speed. He then delivered kicks to Solitary Perpetual Joy that made it seem as if there were springs attached to his feet and multiple shadows trailed behind his legs.

Solitary Perpetual Joy’s expression changed when he felt sharp and fierce wind charging at his face. Before the kicks touched him, the aura of his body fortification technique formed multiple ripples around him. They looked like the surface of a lake when a violent gust of wind blew against it.

When a certain someone saw that the duo were about to crash against each other, he summoned an every stronger aura and forced himself between the two.

Boom!

Three forces of power that were about the same crashed into each other! The violent wave of air that erupted from the crash pushed the trio into opposite directions at the same time.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Happy was the first to land. He took three steps backwards like a ricocheting bullet. Deep footprints were left on the ground. He looked up swiftly with anger in his eyes.

Solitary Perpetual Joy took two steps backwards before he managed to gain his footing. With his power of Mystical Realm, he did not suffer any damage from the crash.

The last to land was Situ Luoyu.

While it might have seemed like he had forced himself into the middle as a mediator in an attempt to stop the duo from clashing head on, something strange had happened the moment he attacked. He became the person who faced the most pressure and received Solitary Perpetual Joy and Happy’s attacks head on.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

His body was sent flying horizontally, and he crashed into the sturdy wall. An abnormal shade of red appeared on his face before it turned pale. He stared at Happy in shock and surprise.

“I didn’t expect that you would have this sort of hobby, sect master of Fallen Master Sect,” Happy said with mockery in his voice.
