Sword Among Us

Chapter 1123: Ningdao Qi

Evil King lowered his head slowly and quietly cast a glance at the five holes left on his sleeve. He frowned a little, but he soon regained his composure and spoke indifferently. “Sun Finger... I didn’t think you would receive such a blessing...”

“Evil King, you do have good judgment.”

Happy smiled faintly.

He knew that the attack just now did not cause too much damage to Evil King, but his Sun Finger, when fused with the explosive force from Full Winds in Long Skies, could rival a full-powered strike from a martial artist who was One with the World, which as a certain degree of threat. Besides, Heavenly Saber Song Que, who was at the peak of Myth Realm, was beside him, and this finally caused Evil King to be a little wary.

“My young friend, you are indeed extraordinary.” Song Que caressed his saber and laughed. Happy had managed to do better than he did during his brief fight against Evil King.

“Evil King, looks like it will be difficult for you to reach your goal of destroying Song House today.”

Right when he finished speaking, Evil King had a mocking smile appear on his lips. “That’s not necessarily true!”

Song Que and Happy said nothing.

“When the weak work together, you are still weak.” Evil King was now so arrogant and confident that his head was swollen, all because he had become One with the World. He laughed coldly, moved, and fused with the world.

Happy and Song Que’s expressions changed.

This time, Evil King’s target was Song Que.

When it came to determining locations with the wind, all three people in the area were experts.

Once Evil King moved, Happy quickly came to the conclusion that his target was not Happy himself. He must be feeling incredibly troubled because he had not managed to weaken Happy’s true origin aura when he attacked. That was why he decided to use Song Que as a breakthrough.

Evil King and Happy both appeared near Song Que at the same time.

Whoosh!

Song Que was not slow to react to the situation. He tapped against the reef, and during the critical moment, jumped into the air. Then, from above, he delivered three waves of slashes. Three saber forces that were like a snow-white moon exploded forth, and the powerful saber will practically suppressed the surging sea and the raging waves.

‘As expected of Heavenly Saber...’

Happy might be enveloped by Song Que’s attack as well, but he could clearly sense that while Song Que’s slash had enveloped both Happy and Evil King in the saber will, most of the attack was directed at Evil King. Since his trajectory was clear, he was not that badly affected.

“Begone!”

At the moment the saber force descended from the sky, Evil King was finally forced out of the air. His expression sank, and with one palm strike, he tore the saber force that filled the air into shreds, displaying the strength and domineering ability of someone who was One with the World to its fullest!

However, he was not fighting against Song Que alone...

At the same time Evil King shouted loudly to display his might, a fierce sword force came charging at him from the side.

The black Recondite Steel Heavy Sword crashed against Evil King by the side at the opportune moment—right when Evil King hastily brought up one arm to block the attack.

Even though Great Demonic World Destruction Art was a unique martial art at Moksha Realm, when it was coupled with the damage from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, it was still not to be underestimated. It still managed to make Evil King’s arm numb.

Bang!

Two waves of hidden forces crashed violently into Happy’s body from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

Happy grunted, and he pointed forward before he was sent flying away.

“Go!”

Even though he was injured, Happy would still not let his enemy have an easy time. This was the principle he upheld all the time.

His Sun Finger then struck Evil King’s shoulder.

They instantly exchanged three blows. During the first, they came to a tie, on the second time, Happy won, and during the last, Happy suffered a small setback.

Evil King swayed a little.

His body fortification might have withstood all the damage from Sun Finger, but Happy had managed to buy precious time for Song Que, and he even got him a chance.

He did not have the time to continue attacking, because a fierce saber qi that filled the entire place shot down from the sky in endless layers—Heavenly Saber Song Que had managed to bring out the full power of his saber technique.

During the moment Evil King fought against Evil King, Song Que resolutely seized the chance to increase his qi to its peak and execute Eight Heavenly Saber Styles at full power. He targeted Evil King, and the entire bed of reefs were sliced cleanly into pieces by the chaotic and fierce saber forces.

The sea moaned.

The bed of reefs shattered.

Evil King was also buried under the saber forces that Song Que unleashed at full force.

Boom!

Waves that filled the air and a fierce saber will quickly enveloped a circular area of 328 feet.

Evil King and Song Que’s bodies were buried under these two things.

But Happy did not intend to stay out of the fight!

When he saw that the two people had been buried under the waves, he performed a beautiful somersault and accurately tapped against the bed of reefs. Then, with an even faster speed, he rushed into the water curtain falling down from the sky like a storm.

At the moment Evil King was released from the state of becoming one with the heavens and the earth, Happy located him with his spiritual sense, and there was naturally no way he would be unable to discern his target among the water.

Shick! Shick! Shick! Shick!

Fierce, milky-white finger-generated wind released sounds tearing through the air as they were occasionally released. They continuously moved through the water curtain and the net of shattered reef pieces flying everywhere. Sometimes, they would not be able to move through the net and would end up crushing the reefs, which would either be in perfect shape, or were damaged, causing the entire battlefield to descend into even more chaos, thereby making it even more dangerous.

“Perfect timing!”

“Haha! Wonderful!”

Evil King and Song Que’s shouts rose nonstop.

Explosions could be heard endlessly in the air, and they moved quickly from one reef to the next on the bed of reefs. Sonic booms followed these two men’s movements.

Layers of saber forces exploded continuously on the sea.

Right when the water curtain fell, a huge wave that came forth with the force of an avalanche would immediately sweep through the entire battlefield again. By now, the sea was in disarray.

Even the cliffs around them would have large stones rolling down frequently because of the tremors caused by the three men. Sometimes, even massifs would collapse.

This battle lasted for more than ten minutes!

Evil King, Heavenly Saber, and Happy were constantly enveloped by the dangerous water curtain, saber forces, and gusts of finger-generated wind. Sometimes, a black figure would shoot out from the water curtain, but that person would charge back into the water curtain at an even faster speed.

The astonishing action in this place soon attracted the attention of many of the players on the island.

Quite a number of people ended their fight at the city wall and ran over.

When the group saw the desecrated bed of reefs and the cliff that had practically changed shape, all those who were in the area sucked in sharp breaths.

This was especially so when they sensed the powerful presence that continuously exploded in the battlefield, along with the saber will that made them break out in cold sweat in fear even when they were far in the distance. It allowed them to sense the true power of two mighty martial artists who had already touched the Dao of heaven.

“What’s that milky-white finger-generated wind?”

Very soon, someone among the players who calmed down saw something strange.

“The person using the saber is Song Que. There’s no doubt about that. But I’ve never heard of Evil King Shi Zhixuan using a finger technique...”

“That’s strange. Someone inside is also using a sword, but I’ve never seen Evil King use a sword before. There’s finger-generated wind and a sword... Looks like Evil King and Heavenly Saber are not the only ones inside.”

More players gathered at the cliff, but there were only a handful who could truly tell what was going on inside. Even though who guessed that Happy might appear in the area were not certain whether Happy would be able to survive in such an intense and violent environment.

It was too terrifying!

Forget about how chaotic was a battlefield created by an elite who was One with the World and one who was at the peak of Myth Realm, Song Que’s fierce and endless saber forces were already so fast that it was dazzling to the eye, and it was as if all of them were connected to each other and could not be differentiated. The damage from the sword forces that crushed the reefs was even more terrifying. With just one move, it was enough to destroy their body fortifications. Who exactly could survive in this chaotic and disorderly battlefield?

Even some of the conceited top-class elites stopped moving when they saw the situation at the cliff. They did not dare take another step forward.

*****

As time passed, three evil cult Myth Realm elites were killed in Song House.

Empress Yin and Wan Wan found that the pressure was increasing on their side as Evil King still refused to appear even after a long time had passed, and they knew that if they continued dragging out the fight, they would not be able to benefit from it.

Empress Yin shouted darkly, “Wan Wan! Demon General! Priest! Evil King has not returned. He might have run into a powerful enemy! We must change the plan! Retreat!”

Once she finished speaking, a huge aura enveloped the area.

At the same time, Wan Wan attacked.

“Everyone, be careful!”

Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling jumped into the battlefield shared by everyone else.

Without these two people holding them back, two waves of Sky Demon Aura spread out, and all the people in the area felt great resistance when they moved.

Boom!

Demon General, Priest, and the other evil cult elites seized the chance to force their enemies back, and at the same time, they removed themselves from the battlefield.

When Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the rest saw that Empress Yin and the other evil cult elites fled, the first thing they thought about was not to chase after them. Instead, without any reluctance, they turned to the direction where Evil King and Heavenly Saber left. When they looked at each other, they could see the shock in each other’s eyes.

*****

There was a huge disparity of strength between Evil King and Heavenly Saber. If Heavenly Saber was able to hold back Evil King for so long, that meant that there was definitely someone else participating in the fight!

“Happy is here.”

“Should we go look?”

Just when two people were wondering about whether they should go over, Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, and the other people in Song House thought of something.

“Once Empress Yin, Demon General, and the rest leaves, the danger in Song House will be over.”

“But the house master has not returned!”

“Big Brother Song, Young Master Ling, to prevent the evil bandits from returning, please stay at Song House for the time being. I will bring Yuzhi over to take a look at the house master’s situation.”

Kuo Zhong took up the task of a son-in-law at that moment and left the mansion with Yuzhi.

Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the rest were shocked. They no longer hesitated and followed them decisively.

*****

When they arrived at the cliff, Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and his group stood at a spot that was incredibly close to the front of the spectating crowd. They saw that the bed of reefs below them were already in disarray, and quite a number of places had already collapsed. But the qi waves in the area had not disappeared completely.

Heavenly Saber had his eyes shut while he stood on a reef. His hair was a mess, but his gaze was as sharp and determined as ever. He stood tall, and he gave off a presence as if he had become one with his saber. It was frightening.

Across Heavenly Saber was Evil King. He was in a better condition, but his outer robe had already been completely torn. The sturdy armor he wore inside was revealed.

There were two other people who stood on Heavenly Saber Song Que’s side, and they formed a triangle as they faced Evil King.

One of them was an old swordsman, and the other was a young swordsman.

The old swordsman’s long robes were new. His longsword hung by his waist, and he gave off a graceful bearing. His elegant presence was practically gushing out of him in waves, and his relaxed smile caused those who saw it to be unable to help themselves but want to get closer to him.

And all those who saw the young swordsman recognized him. Even though his robes were slightly tattered and he looked a little disheveled, he did not appear to be arrogant nor humble even when he stood in front of two matchless elites. His presence was outstanding, and his gaze was profound.

He was Happy, the sect master of Lovely Land!

When they saw these four elites stand together, Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the group who followed them were stunned.

However, Kuo Zhong and Song Yuzhi released delighted cries at the same time.

“Master Ning!”

“Master Ning, you’re here too!”

With just one sentence, they revealed the identity of the old swordsman who looked like a Confucianist scholar.

He was the greatest swordsman in the Chinese server, Ningdao Qi!

At that moment, Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the group could already understand what was going on based on the situation of the battlefield and the four people.

They were struck dumb with amazement.
