Sword Among Us

Chapter 1203: Miscalculation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What sort of matrix is capable of being able to consistently deliver terrifying attacks and provide extremely high defenses with the condition being that every member needs to put their hands on each other? Ten Thousand Years, do you know about it?”

Happy had done some reading into matrix, and he had noticed some of the crucial points based on Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow’s detailed descriptions. So, he asked Thousand-faced Human Fox this question.

“Master, please forgive me. I am useless...” Thousand-faced Human Fox bowed slightly. “I might have some understanding about matrices and formations, but it’s only limited to death traps. I’m hopeless in front of these man-made matrices. I don’t have a lot of understanding toward them. I’ve also never heard of such a high-grade sword formation either.”

“...Is that so?”

Happy would naturally not blame Thousand-faced Human Fox.

He just asked the question casually to test whether such information was recorded in the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains. Since it was not in there, it was fine.

However, the fact that Wild Wolves had managed to destroy more than one thousand people from Wind Assault Tower with just dozens of people had still attracted a lot of attention from Happy, and he was also wary of it.

Thud, thud...

Happy placed a hand on the table and gently as well as rhythmically rapped against the table. His gaze gradually turned profound.

“Evil Emperor, if this is your method to leverage to snatch Tiger Soul, I’m afraid you’ll still have to return empty-handed,” Happy mumbled while he continued staring into the distance with a profound gaze. There were hot waves wafting up from the horizon of the desert. “The might of Tiger Soul is far beyond Heaven Crystal, and with just this number of people, your subordinates might not be able to control it...

“Perhaps I have overestimated you.”

Once these words came out of his mouth faintly, Happy became as relaxed as he previously was. He picked up the teacup in front of him with an otherworldly presence and brought it to his nostrils to sniff at it lightly.

“Beautiful!”

“This time, we killed all of the Wind Assault Tower elites and largely boosted Wild Wolves’ might! The leader will definitely be happy about it when we go back!”

“Heh... This time, we managed to destroy all of Wind Assault Tower. Phantasmal Shadow is definitely scared witless. It feels so good!”

Peach Blossom and Immortal watched how their members started boasting in high spirits, and they, too, felt incredibly smug. But as the members serving as sentries at a high spot sent them messages urgently, their expressions changed.

“Shut up!”

“Form your formations! Be prepared to fight!”

“Damn it! The alliance master from Heaven and Earth Alliance has come over!”

With those commands, the people from Wild Wolves instantly stopped boasting. They grabbed their weapons and ran. Some of them grumbled.

“He’s that useless?”

“The alliance master isn’t that much, then.”

“Enough with the crap.”

“Damn it! Thank goodness Flame Wolf gave us orders in time, or else, if we’re still fighting against Wind Assault Tower right now, we’ll be in serious trouble...”

Peach Blossom and Immortal felt lucky.

In the next second, the entire group fell silent at the same time.

As the two scouts at the high spots scrambled back to their teams, the sound of air being torn through suddenly rose, and a black figure flew over the sandhill like a bolt of lightning.

“It’s the alliance master!”

“Careful!”

“Form the formation!”

The presence of the alliance master instantly put so much pressure on the group that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. They reached out and placed their hands on the people in front of them at the same time.

The people in front of the matrices were the first to be affected by the qi and pressure on the mind from a person in the dao of heaven. But as the other eight people in the matrices connected their strengths to them, an astonishing force suddenly rose from them.

Boom!

The sand around them danced.

At the same time, cracking sounds shot out of their bones. The sounds were very clear.

The people in front originally felt as if their legs were filled with lead because of the suppression by the qi and could practically not straighten their backs, but when the strength of the Forbidden Daiya Technique was added to them, they instantly looked as if they had turned into someone else. An intimidating light shot out of their eyes. Waves of qi that shot to the skies forced back the qi that the alliance master sent to push down on them. The pressure from the spirit attack that covered their entire bodies also looked as if it had disappeared without a trace.

“Hmm?”

The alliance master had coincidentally arrived 328 feet away from the group at that moment.

In truth, when he was still far away, he had already noticed the movements over here. His original intention was to shift Dongfang Bubai’s attention temporarily on them, but he did not expect that this group would use such a unique method to forcefully resist the qi he released. This caused him slight shock and disbelief.

As luck would have it...

Whoosh!

A sonic boom that tore through the air rose behind him.

It was followed by a brutal and destructive presence. A tiger-shaped, blood red saber glare chased after him as fast as the wind.

He did not have time to think. The alliance master turned around and struck by pure reflex.

Boom!

A loud sound rose. The entire sandhill exploded with a bang to form a huge palm with a diameter that was worth dozens of feet.

However, once the huge palm that was formed by countless grains of sand was formed, the savage, brutal, blood-red tiger had already arrived.

“ROAR!”

The seemingly indestructible sand palm was destroyed by the blood-red tiger like paper.

Boom!

The huge sand palm was instantly destroyed. Yellow sand that filled the air obstructed the alliance master’s vision. His pupils shrank...

The blood-red saber glare instantly arrived where he was.

Boom!

Even if the alliance master had already tried to save the situation as much as he could, he still could not block Dongfang Bubai’s attack, not after it had its strength increased by leaps and bounds. He felt as if his body had been struck by a whip.

He grunted.

While the Wild Wolves watched in shock, the mighty alliance master lost his center of balance. A huge gash was left on his black armor, and he was sent flying dozens of feet away. He flew in the direction where the Wild Wolves were.

“This is a good chance! Kill him!”

Peach Blossom and Immortal’s eyes lit up.

If they could kill one extra person in the dao of heaven, their rewards would also become greater.

Just now, they had already noticed that Dongfang Bubai had lost a leg, and his strength had been largely reduced. If they could get rid of the alliance master a step ahead of him, not only would they be able to get Tiger Soul, they might also be able to get the ultimate techniques and treasures from two people in the dao of heaven.

The five groups of people arrived at the same thought!

They attacked at the same time!

“Kill him!”

The nine people in each matrix had their strengths connected together, and they activated the Forbidden Daiya Technique!

The alliance master was instantly met with even more misfortune.

He originally thought that these were just a group of normal martial artists, and he was just thinking about using Dongfang Bubai’s strength to quickly fly over this group of people. Then, he wanted to use this group to shift Dongfang Bubai’s attention and gain some time to catch his breath.

What he did not expect was that this group of sheep he underestimated actually had the hearts of tigers and wolves!

Five sword forces tore through the air and arrived in front of his face!

When they attacked, the alliance master’s expression changed drastically. Each attack contained the power of a full-powered strike from a normal martial artist in the dao of heaven.

Boom!

He was caught off guard, and the alliance master was struck with five sword forces that were powerful enough to threaten his life.

His body was already injured by Dongfang Bubai, and now, he had another injury added to it. His body shuddered repeatedly, and he almost coughed up pieces of his organs.

The momentum he gained when Dongfang Bubai struck him was also destroyed. He crashed into the sand in an incredibly pathetic manner.

At the moment he landed on the ground, his eyes shone with an angry, humiliated, and fierce glare. His gaze landed on the group in front of him, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

But he could not take his revenge immediately either, because Dongfang Bubai had already arrived!

With one tiger’s roar, the fierce saber glare tore through the world.

“Bastard!”

The alliance master was so anxious that he felt as if he was at his wits’ end.

He was unexpectedly forced to this situation by this group of people. Now, he was surrounded by danger, and he was practically in a hopeless situation.

“Kill him while he’s weak!”

“Hurry!”

When they saw that the alliance master was indeed injured heavily, the Wild Wolves’ blood burned with excitement.

More than forty top-class elites suddenly stopped attacking to grit their teeth and shove their palms forward.

Slap!

Their hands struck the two people in front of them swiftly.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

This pattern repeated itself.

The strength of the eight people behind the person leading the respective matrices was once again transferred to the leaders’ body.

An astonishing qi exploded forth once more.

Before him was Dongfang Bubai’s saber glare, and behind him were five full-powered strikes from martial artists in the dao of heaven. The alliance master was instantly caught in a life and death situation.

“Die!”

When the Wild Wolves saw that the alliance master was in a tight situation, they were incredibly excited. It was as if they could already see him perish before them.

But at the moment their sword forces and the blood-red saber glare were about to touch him, the tiger-shaped saber glare shot through the alliance master’s ahead of the other sword forces.

Boom!

While the Wild Wolves were stunned and puzzled, the tiger-shaped, blood-red saber glare crashed violently into the five people’s sword forces!

They were destroyed effortlessly.

The five sword forces were crushed by the tiger-shaped saber glares.

“This is bad!”

The Wild Wolves managed to react quickly. The forty people took action at the same time and passed their strengths to the people leading the matrices again.

Boom!

The weakened tiger-shaped saber glare swept through.

The five people leading the matrices only took a few steps backwards, and with their bodies, they resisted the remaining might from Dongfang Bubai’s slash.

If Happy were here right now, he would definitely notice in astonishment that the Wild Wolves staggered uniformly backward, as if the shock of the impact they experienced was the exact same. Their formation was still abnormally uniform.

After they bore the brunt of that slash, the group quickly brought out a nice-smelling medicinal pill from their Universe Bags and popped them into their mouths. They seemed to be restoring their internal injuries and replenishing their qi.

At the same time she took the medicinal pill, Immortal suddenly reminded the group loudly, “Careful! There’s something strange about the alliance master! It should be some kind of method that can allow him to avoid attacks during emergencies. look. He seems to be unable to handle the backlash as well...”

The Wild Wolves simultaneously stared at the alliance master after he reappeared in the air. They saw that while he remained unharmed by the attack just now, his face had turned even paler and more bloodless. Just now, he had already been hit once by Dongfang Bubai, and later, he was injured badly by the five people, which caused him to be severely wounded. Now, after he avoided the round of attacks by a sheer stroke of luck, he became even weaker.

He was someone who was in the dao of heaven, but now, he gave off the tragic air of someone who had reached the end of his rope...

The alliance master finally saw the ambitions from this group of people, and he also managed to sense a great wave of danger from this group of people. A bone-chilling glare shone in his eyes under the mask.

“You’re thinking about killing me with just a trick that allows you to increase your strength and snatching the saber away from me? Don’t you think you’re underestimating me too much! You’re too conceited!”

“Is it?”

“Stop wasting your breath with him! Attack!”

Immortal and Peach Blossom did not have any intention to waste time to talk to the alliance master. They attacked at the same time.

The other three also attacked.

“Hmph!”

The alliance master smiled coldly. He moved a little and weaved his way through the five sword forces from the Wild Wolves. He left behind some mocking words to the group.

“You only have a bit of superficial strength obtained from your matrix. You don’t know what the dao of heaven is.”

The Wild Wolves had their expressions change.

Once the alliance master was not there to hold him back, the situation instantly changed, and now, they had to face Dongfang Bubai, whose qi had greatly deviated!
