Sword Among Us
chapter-386

When Barren Murderer saw Happy moving around the crowd fearlessly, his heart turned cold.

Happy did not die!

There were thirty or so of the best elites from Class One Hall mixed in the crowd. Each of their attacks were around 4,000, but even if they attacked Happy viciously at the same time, Happy remained unmoved. His attacks never swayed nor were interrupted. He just neatly used his sharp and fatal sword light to attack the places with the most people.

In less than a minute, there were at least one hundred good fighters from Class One Hall who lay dead in the forest. Their corpses were scattered all over the ground in a disorderly fashion. When they were reflected in Barren Murderer’s eyes, he felt that the sight was just too terrifying to behold!

The news that came from Vast Martial City was real.

Barren Murderer had not quite believed them, thinking that it was just the effects of a high-class medicinal pill, now, he came to believe all that was said. Around one hundred of his brothers had used their lives to prove that what everyone said was real.

However, such a price was a little too heavy!

“Everyone, leave immediately.”

There was a cold and savage presence around him when Barren Murderer moved in front of Happy. He gave the order to retreat resolutely.

Happy’s expression was cold. “No one is allowed to leave!”

He tapped against the ground, jumped into the air, and landed on top of a tree.

When he looked down, he brought out his sheath resolutely.

Shing!

He put away his Clear Abyss, which had already taken many lives, into the sheath, sucked in a deep breath, and circulated his qi through a strange meridian system, which then returned to his slowly rising right hand.

Happy looked at Barren Murderer who was under the tree and solemnly pressed his right hand against his sword hilt.

His strange action quickly caused Barren Murderer to be wary of him.

Subconsciously, his gaze landed on Happy’s Clear Abyss, which was still sheathed, and his right hand.

When Happy noticed where Barren Murderer’s stern gaze was directed, his lips quirked up. He pushed out some qi without batting an eyelid.

Crack!

His sword shuddered, and a small part of the blade was revealed out of the sheath.

At that instant, all of Barren Murderer’s attention was attracted by that fine slit.

Emperor Shocks World!

Whine!

A long whine rose, and golden sword force rose into the air!

When the Class One Hall members running for their lives turned their heads around to look, they were just in time to see a sword force with a mighty momentum charging forward with a barely noticeable sword light. Both struck Barren Murderer’s head at the same time.

Clang!

Once Happy executed that slash, he shot down toward Barren Murderer without hesitation.

Barren Murderer was dazed, and he stood on the ground in a rigid state. He did not seem to have noticed Happy approaching him.

“Vice Hall Master Barren!”

“Hurry, save him!”

The Class One Hall members did not know what had happened. When they saw Barren Murderer allowing Happy to approach him without any reaction, they instinctively flew into a rage and charged back.

But they did not notice that a fine trail of blood had appeared on Barren Murderer’s forehead.

Happy naturally did not say anything about it. He quietly lifted his sword and placed it on Barren Murderer’s shoulder. The moment he did so, the elites from Class One Hall rushed over without hesitation.

‘Phoenix Dances… Young Seven, Young White, Young Black… One Circle, Tea Words, Bum, Puffy God, Rascal, Glutinous Rice…’

Happy closed his eyes and ignored the threat of the Class One Hall members rushing at him. He just quietly recited his friends’ names.

Only when weapons landed on his body did he open his eyes!

A furious and violent killing intent rose within the crowd!

“I’ve taken revenge for you!”

As Happy shouted out those words, a dazzling sword glare sliced through the people.

Barren Murderer’s head rose into the air as well.

Under the Class One Hall members’ shocked and fearful gazes, the dazzling sword glare became the shackles of death that chased after them like an evil spirit going after their lives. It came sweeping at them furiously.

Fierce roars and screams of pain intertwined with each other in the forest.

*****

Bang!

Dream Clouds had just returned to Class One Hall’s headquarters in Beijing when she heard new reports from her subordinates. She learned that Barren Murderer had died under Happy’s sword, and a palm print that was as black as charcoal appeared on the solid Chinese square table. It was as if it had been burned by a high temperature.

“Happy…” Dream Clouds gritted her teeth, and her silver veil shuddered.

There was no way that she would not know that Happy had made up his mind to take revenge for Beautiful Robes Faction. Even though the news of Beautiful Robes Faction being conquered had not spread yet, based on the reports from the people at that side, in at most three minutes, Beautiful Robes Faction’s foundation would be destroyed. Happy should also know about Class One Hall’s determination, which was why he attacked without regard of the cost.

However, Dream Clouds did not expect that Barren Murderer had not only not managed to kill Happy despite setting up an ambush with more than two hundred people on the way, but would even die.

When did Happy become so strong?

Even during the time before Barren Murderer obtained King of Abyss Art, his equipment and body fortification had been very astonishing. He was at the fifth place on the Dragon Rank, so there was naturally no need to doubt his strength.

Besides, King of Abyss Art was incredibly domineering. Even if Barren Murderer did not manage to kill Happy, he should not have been killed himself.

‘This Barren Murderer…’

“Hall master, what should we do now?” A man in the uniform of a chief stared at Dream Clouds tentatively. He only dared to speak after a long while. “Once Happy killed Vice Hall Master Barren and more than two hundred of our brothers, his kill count reached the standards for Killer Star, and he has disappeared from our sight once more. I’m worried that the branches nearby will become his next target. Hall Master, please give your orders.”

It was impossible for them not to be anxious right then.

Happy had actually killed Barren Murderer and the two hundred or so people who set up an ambush. His strength had not been diminished, but had increased, so there was no way that Class One Hall could not regard this with importance. Once they destroyed Beautiful Robes Faction, they would also lose the chip that could intimidate and control Happy. He would become bound by nothing and could attack Class One Hall without fear.

Vice Hall Master Barren should have no problems if he rested for a month to heal after his death, but if they continuously lost their branches, even if Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed, Happy would deal a fatal blow to Class One Hall’s glory and morale.

Dream Clouds thought about it for a long time before she sucked in a deep breath.

“Chief Night, immediately write down my words in a letter to Happy.”

“Hmm?”

Chief Lonesome Night was stunned for a moment, but he quickly brought out a pen and paper and began to listen attentively.

Dream Clouds took two steps forward slowly. She turned her curvaceous and gentle body around, so her back faced Lonesome Night. When she spoke, her voice was as cold as ice.

“I am deeply regretful of Beautiful Robes Faction’s destruction. Vice Hall Master Barren only has himself to blame for his death. Famous Player Happy, I, Dream Clouds, have admired you for a long time, but it is a pity that we never had the chance to meet each other. If there is a need, I will surely go to Baokang to personally visit Mu Clan!”

The moment she finished speaking, a messenger pigeon flew through the air and landed on Dream Clouds’ shoulder!

The contents of the letter were very simple.

[Beautiful Robes Faction has been destroyed!]

Dream Clouds quietly tore the letter Blood Robes had sent to her and ordered Lonesome Night to send the messenger pigeon.

*****

Happy stood among a group of Class One Hall members’ corpses in the huge forest with a cold gaze. In his hands was a letter written by Lonesome Night. When he read the first half of the letter, his heart burned and he longed to rip apart Dream Clouds’ lying mouth and face, but when he read the second half of the letter, his heart instantly sank.

It was as if a cold basin of water had been poured over his head, and the raging fire calling out for revenge was gradually extinguished.

Mu Clan had just gained a footing in Shennongjia, and their development was good.

Even though there were three local sects and Chivalry Sect protecting them, their strength was still weak, and their true fighting force could not be used in public. If Class One Hall insisted on attacking, unless Chivalry Sect stationed themselves in Baokang and did not leave, Mu Clan would not be able to withstand Class One Hall’s all out attack!

At that moment, Happy suddenly felt that despite his strength as the top on the Famous People Rank and the fifth place on the Dragon Rank, along with his equipment and weapons making him seem strong, he was, in truth, incredibly weak and helpless.

It was impossible for one person to control the world of martial artists!
