Sword Among Us

Chapter 1082: Shatter Space, Evil King Dies

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Evil Emperor’s sudden increase in speed and his silent attack could indeed catch someone off guard. There was practically no one who could catch up to Evil Emperor’s movement speed with their eyes, and he was silent when he attacked. In fact, no traces of his attacks could be found. Even Happy was surprised.

However, while Evil Emperor could be fast enough to fool the eyes in close-quarters combat, he could not hide from spiritual senses.

During the critical moment, Happy quickly activated Petite Dragon and ingeniously avoided Evil Emperor’s ruthless attack.

At the moment the afterimage he left on the spot was pierced through, Happy keenly noticed that Evil Emperor had seized air, and during that moment, an astonishingly powerful force seemed to have pierced through the air before it let out a loud crack.

His expression changed, and Happy quickly sensed a powerful suction suddenly shot out of the shattered space. This power had in fact surpassed the suction effect from Dragon Capture.

Since Happy was close by, he quickly noticed that his body started showing signs of being sucked by the vortex in the shattered space. In his shock, he instinctively executed a sword slash.

Whoosh!

The fear toward the unknown shot up within him because of the vortex from the air. The power and range far surpassed Empress Yin and Evil King when they were at the speed of their strength. Happy had a feeling that if he were sucked over, his true origin aura would not be able to last for a long time. Without even thinking, he activated Full Winds in Long Skies.

Boom!

His qi was sucked out of his body.

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword crashed into the vortex in the shattered space with a crazed momentum possessing the power of a bulldozer.

At that moment, Happy finally saw Evil Emperor standing behind the vortex. His eyes were filled with brutality and ruthlessness, but his face was pale, and his body trembled slightly.

In his control were a ball of shattered air fragments that were so dark they actually shone. His hand was dripping with blood, and it only managed to not be damaged because it was protected by a phantasmal light.

And the shattered black light in his hand was the origin of that dangerous presence.

But it was clear that this attack, which was almost the same as shattering space itself, had sucked away most of Evil Emperor’s qi and essence. Even Evil Emperor could not control the movement of the vortex.

When the sword force from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword crashed against the vortex in the air, the light from the sword force that was attached to the sword was instantly destroyed, and it fell away silently until only its particles were left. Then, it was sucked into the vortex violently.

At that moment, Happy could clearly see that the vortex in the air seemed to have shrunken down by one whole size.

In an instant, it seemed to have split into several parts.

The vortex had not been completely destroyed. While the strength in the powerful suction force seemed to have been reduced slightly, Happy’s speed in being dragged over did not diminish by much.

A savage and ruthless sneer finally appeared on Evil Emperor’s lips, as if his plan had worked.

But at that moment, Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword suddenly released an astonishing force out of the blue!

With an even faster speed, it crashed violently into the vortex in Evil Emperor’s hands.

Countless sword forces were reduced to particles, and with a power that was twice as strong as before, it squeezed its way into the ball of air.

And the shattered space also started shrinking much faster because of the power that suddenly appeared before it disappeared.

In an instant, the fist-sized vortex was instantly reduced to the size of a finger because of the explosive force from Full Winds in Long Skies.

When Happy’s chest crashed against Evil Emperor’s hand, the thick true origin aura in his body was swiftly reduced to particles.

But what caused Evil Emperor to be angry was that the true origin aura dissolved incredibly slowly, while the speed in which the vortex shrank was very fast.

When true origin aura shrank by less than one-third its original size, the vortex in Evil Emperor’s hands had already completely disappeared, and his bloody palm was pushed against Happy’s chest limply.

*****

Even an ultimate technique by an elite who was One with the World had not been able to completely get rid of Evil Emperor’s attack. Happy could only watch himself crash into the vortex while it still remained as threatening as ever. He originally thought that he was going to die, but he did not expect that his true origin aura would be more sturdy than his sword force. It had actually managed to only have one-third of it evaporate.

The unprecedented sense of danger that enveloped his entire body abruptly disappeared without a trace.

The powerful suction force vanished.

Happy shuddered. He felt as if his soul had returned to his body, and he was a human once more.

But at that moment, Happy did not intend to waste his time being in a daze. He curled up the corners of his lips and stared at Evil Emperor with a mocking gaze. He also looked at Evil Emperor’s arm, which had suffered through quite the severe backlash.

“It’s no wonder why you didn’t use this killing move during the last few times we fought. So, not only will you need to use up a lot of qi for this move, you will also suffer from backlashes. As expected of the supreme demonic martial art of the evil cult.” As he spoke, Happy stretched out an arm and grabbed Evil Emperor’s hand, which was still pressed against his chest. “This move is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, you’re still not strong enough to control it.”

Before his voice faded away, a violent force rushed readily into Evil Emperor’s body.

“Urk!”

Due to the backlash from the demonic martial art, Evil Emperor had become incredibly weakened, and his body was no longer threatening. He was instantly injured even further. He grunted, and black blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth.

“Curse you...” This was the first time Evil Emperor showed weakness in front of an enemy. His great anger and humiliation caused him to look as if he was burning. His eyes were red as he stared at Happy. “I fell into your trap this time, but next time, you won’t be so lucky anymore!”

“Next time?” Happy’s smile faded away. “Alright, I’ll wait for you! But it’ll be one week before you get out of the Chinese plains’ prison and meet me. By that time, I should have already reached Inaction Realm. Are you sure that you will have the absolute chance of winning instead of dying in my hands like this again?”

Evil Emperor was just about to say something, but Happy did not give him the chance to retort. He had his other arm shoot out and seize Evil Emperor’s throat.

Crack!

He exerted force without hesitation, and while a group Chinese players watched from the distance with excited but fearful gazes, Evil Emperor’s head fell limply to the side.

Boom!

Then, Happy did not cast him another glance. He just took away Evil Emperor’s equipment before he flung his corpse into the distance.

Bang!

Evil Emperor’s nigh invincible might was finally crushed. His superior image had been completely reduced into a blurry corpse before the people.

At the moment he threw away the corpse, even Happy could not help but be befuddled by what happened.

‘I made it...

‘Wait. I killed Evil Emperor?’

Happy turned around, and he looked at the hand he used to crush Evil Emperor’s neck in slight disbelief. He also looked as if he was mocking himself.

The area behind him remained silent for a few seconds before cheers and shouts as loud as waves shot up. The strength in it was so great that it nearly knocked Happy off the air.

“Evil Emperor died!”

“Haha!”

“Evil Emperor died! Happy killed Evil Emperor!”

“AHHHH!!!”

“We don’t need to run anymore! We don’t have to run!”

The feeling of being dragged to heaven from hell in an instant caused the people from the two sects to simultaneously shout hysterically. All of them started running all over the plains with their faces and necks red to tell others of this news.

It was only at that moment that Happy noticed that the group who were supposed to have left quickly had actually not managed to leave the battlefield before the battle ended.

It was too quick.

Due to his series of provocations, Evil Emperor had been forced to use an incredibly powerful attack in an attempt to subjugate Happy, and perhaps he had been thinking about using this killing move that would end up causing them both to be severely wounded to fight to the death with him.

When he thought of this, Happy could not help but shudder abruptly.

The power in that attack just now was extraordinary indeed.

If it were not for the fact that it was difficult for Evil Emperor to control it and he had used Full Winds in Long Skies without hesitation during that dangerous moment, a slight mistake would have caused a completely different situation to occur.

After this thought appeared in his head, Happy still felt a deep chill crawl down his spine.

If Evil Emperor died, he would have to be locked up for seven days in the imperial prison.

But if Happy died, he would lose an entire month!

“Gosh, I’m lucky.” While Happy revelled about how lucky he was, he noticed hundreds of people rushing toward him, and all of them stared at him with excited expressions.

However, due to the fact that he was wearing a human skin mask, Happy did not show how terrified he actually was, and the people could also not see how his face was covered in sweat.

“Why are you still daydreaming over here? Make a break and leave this place!” Happy schooled his face and rebuked him.

The group was shocked.

“Oh.”

“Understood!”

The group looked as if they had snapped out of their dream.

Right when they were ready to run, Happy called out to them with a frown, “Come back!

“Write a letter and tell your boss about what happened here. Tell him that he doesn’t need to continue chasing after the people from Class One Hall. Have him come back and escape from this place with all of you so that you can head to Ghost’s Domain together!”

It was only at this moment that he remembered that not much time had passed. Ji Feng and the others should still be safe.

“Aye!”

The group was incredibly excited. They turned around at the same time to salute him, but they were terrified by Happy’s cold and sharp gaze.

“Gosh, these people just completely forget about themselves after a brief moment of success.”

Happy rolled his eyes before he had a thought appear in his head. He wrote a letter to Phantasmal Shadow to ask her about the situation on her side.

She quickly replied, [Everything is progressing as normal. Dream Clouds might have launched a counterattack, but we’re fighting back based on the plan we set in the beginning. The situation is pretty good. We don’t have a lot of casualties as of now, but Class One Hall has lost more than ten top-class elites, and they’re all killed by One Emperor. Why are you so free? Did something happen over there?]

“Me?”

Happy was stunned for a moment before he let out a bark of laughter and replied, [Something did happen. I believe that Dream Clouds will know of it soon, and she will immediately retreat.]

Phantasmal Shadow’s reply was very interesting. [How did you know? She really did retreat. All of the people from Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the twelve Beijing sects all left! What exactly happened?]

“That’s fast.” Happy rubbed his forehead.

Seriously, Dream Clouds’ plans were always flawless.

Right after Evil Emperor died, Dream Clouds immediately retreated. She must be thinking that she did not want to give them the chance to counterattack. If she chased them for too long, she will be giving him and One Emperor a chance to lead Wind Assault Tower and launch a counterattack against them. Without Evil Emperor guarding them, Class One Hall will definitely suffer huge losses. At that time, they might actually be able to execute a beautiful play of turning the tides in Beijing itself.

When he thought of this, Happy could not help but sigh.

Seven days!

The next seven days should be the hardest seven days Class One Hall will have to face ever since they gained their power.

Without Evil Emperor protecting them, even if the few hundred thousand people in Beijing could intimidate other people, they could not intimidate Happy.

When he thought of this, Happy thought about things for a moment, and in the end, he could not hold back from sending a letter to One Emperor.

[One Emperor died, and Class One Hall won’t dare stop Phantasmal Shadow from moving south. Interested in committing some crimes?]
