Sword Among Us

Chapter 134: My Item!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of one single sentence from the purple-robed man, a strange atmosphere instantly filled the forest!

Yan Mountain Tiger did not expect that the plan he had been preparing for the entire day would end up like this! He stared at the four people before him, along with the dozen or so corpses in the area, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions of shock, regret, and anguish!

They had lain in ambush for half a day and had gone through a lot of trouble to deceive Heaven Descendants Sect, Vast Ocean Sword Sect, and Bloody Blade Sect. They chased after the brocade box until they arrived to that place, thinking that if they could stay away from the members of the three great sects, they could instantly control of the situation. With the power from the seventeen people on their side, they should have been able to take the brocade box and leave the sights of the three great sects, but they did not expect that they would run into four powerful and troublesome people.

It was especially so for the purple-robed man. While they traveled, he said nothing, as if he was just a normal passerby, but when the critical moment arrived, he turned into a cold-blooded murderer!

The great disparity in their strength made it difficult for them to get used to the situation.

However, Yan Mountain Tiger and his group were not the only ones who were gloomy because they who could not understand what had happened.

The two brothers with their backs to each other were even more shocked.

They were famous, and each of them practiced a high-tier martial art, so they thought that as long as they did not provoke any powerful sects, they should be able to move about the game freely. They did not expect that they would run into people who would be so indifferent to them that they would even ignore them!

When they saw the purple-robed man’s serious expression, they cast a glance at the blue-robed young man who stood by the side without a sound and seemed to have not returned to his senses from the attack just then. He had a frown on his face and was deep in thought. The worry on the two brothers’ faces became even greater.

They could tell that the purple-robed man’s words were not aimed at them!

Could it be that this person, who had done nothing all along, was also a wolf in sheep’s skin?

The two of them gulped and raised their guard.

“I’m... afraid that won’t do.”

Just as expected, a few seconds later, the blue-robed young man looked up to reveal a handsome and young face. There was a slightly troubled and resigned look on his face. He paused for a moment before he met the purple-robed man’s inquiring gaze and put on a slight smile at a languid pace.

“This brocade box was mine from the start. I just temporarily let you take care of it.”

Regardless of whether it was the purple-robed man, the two brothers, or Yan Mountain Tiger and his group, all of their hearts trembled when they heard his words! They stared at the blue-robed young man’s harmless and handsome face, and disbelief rose in their eyes.

“It’s you...”

“You’re the one in the temple!”

Yan Mountain Tiger sucked in a sharp breath.

The two brothers looked at each other in shock. There was puzzlement in their hearts.

The purple-robed man frowned. It was only at that moment that he remembered all of them having ignored something: at that time, they only saw the brocade box in the temple, not the person who had brought it there.

Everything had happened too suddenly, and the situation had become chaotic. No one thought too deeply about the whereabouts of the original owner of the brocade box.

“I see, so that’s how it is.”

The purple-robed man glanced at Happy with a look of realization, and the wariness in his eyes became even stronger. Not only did the youth have astonishing strength, he had also made ingenious arrangements to deceive everyone. He tricked people into fighting against each other before he turned around to retrieve what originally belonged to him. With such a plan, there was no way he did not have a good head on his shoulders for scheming.

When everyone’s heart filled with fear, Happy spoke again. “But I did not expect that someone so powerful would be in this group.”

Right after he finished speaking, the two brothers who claimed to be powerful turned red again! When Happy spoke, he only looked at the purple-robed man. He did not even look at them once, much less Yan Mountain Tiger and the other six.

The two of them had been ignored once again.

The purple-robed man nodded quietly and answered with a sonorous voice, “With your abilities, if I didn’t appear, none of the people here would have been your opponent.”

Yan Mountain Tiger did not doubt his words at all.

Because, just then, he suddenly remembered the origins of the brocade box.

The person before him had seized the brocade box from a group of bandits who were led by a Mystical Realm bandit leader, and the young man had done so by himself. Yan Mountain Tiger did not want to think about this in depth.

The blue-robed youth was not just powerful if he could defeat a group of Blessed Realm bandits and a Mystical Realm bandit leader! It was practically unfathomable! He might actually have the ability to oppress the purple-robed man.

When he thought of this, Yan Mountain Tiger lowered his head in anguish. He cast a glance at the brocade box in his hands and did something that made all the people in the area look at him sideways.

“I’ll give the item to you!” With a fling of his hand, he threw the brocade box high into the air, and it flew above the heads of the four people.

The purple-robed man looked up slightly and narrowed his gaze, but he did not move.

Happy did not even glance up.

The duo’s silence upset the two brothers who had been ignored from the start!

When they saw the brocade box flying over their heads, they gritted their teeth and attacked at the same time. Dazzling glares from weapons intersected with each other, and both of them went for Happy at the same time, because he was the closest to them.

“Sunlight Sword Technique!”

“Howling Moon Saber Technique!”

The light that erupted from their weapons was even brighter and more blinding to the eye than Flashing Sword Breaker. It forced Happy to shut his eyes. Whistling Moon Saber Technique also brought with it endless howls. It sounded like a wolf was howling at the moon, and it affected Happy’s hearing.

The two people instantly erupted with their abilities, and it sent Happy into danger. Even the purple-robed man showed a slightly grave look on his face.

Although the duo’s high-tier martial arts were not of a high realm, they complemented each other and would affect a person’s hearing and sight. This went together with the sword and saber’s might, which made their power extraordinary.

No wonder the two brothers could remain standing here until then. They were indeed somewhat skilled.

“Hmph!”

The purple-robed man’s eyes moved. His gaze followed Happy’s movements when he snorted coldly. He could tell that Happy had been slightly angered by the duo when they targeted him.

Happy’s body trembled, and he activated his qi realm.

Qi from his Dantian region surged into his body, then focused on his eyes. He opened them then, and they were clear! He did not dodge and just went straight up against the piercing Sunlight Sword Technique.

This was actually a small trick. Only those who had experience with Sunlight Sword Technique or Flashing Sword Breaker would know about it.

Once players entered Blessed Realm, they could use their true qi to resist piercing light. The same logic could be used for their hearing. When Happy used it, the wolf howls that filled his ears became much softer.

When he was halfway through his straight vertical jump, he tapped a branch nearby, turned around, and slashed downwards. His gaze was fixed on the two dazzling glares, and his Hundred-battle Saber drew a dark blue halo in the air.

Hiss!

The two brothers were delighted. They pointed their weapons at the same direction.

“Get lost!”

The purple-robed man who had been watching the fight by the side quirked his eyebrows and put on a solemn expression.

Happy had missed with the indomitable slash that he executed from above. Even though it seemed powerful, he had to fight against two people from below him. If they clashed head on, both sides might end up being injured severely!

Even though the purple-robed man was very eager to see this happen, his instincts told him that the matter would not be so easily solved. The blue-robed young man who gave him a dangerous feeling was someone who could give up on the brocade box and make hundreds of players run around in circles. He should not have made such a beginner-level mistake.

However, the trio’s weapons clashed against each other without any flourish.

Boom!

A loud and piercing bang rose in the forest. Two balls of dazzling light erupted from the spot where the three had clashed!

All the people were blinded by the bright light. They could not see anything.

Bang! Bang!

Two figures flew out from the ball of light and crashed in the distance.

The purple-robed man’s expression changed. He quickly cast a glance at the duo who coughed up blood and cradled their chests. When he looked at Happy who had collected himself, he became even more tense!
