Sword Among Us

When he faced the Mongolian cavaliers’ powerful charge, even Happy, as strong as he was, did not dare face their charge head on.

One of the reasons was because the Mongolian cavaliers’ archery skills were indeed extraordinary, and even with Shifting Stars and Arhat Body, he will still have a hard time protecting himself. The second reason was because the 1,000-man commanders, who were as strong as the evil cult elders, as well as the man with the alloy staff were right in front of the charge. These people were not easy to deal with.

But the current situation was different, the Mongolian cavaliers chased after the Chinese and fired their arrows. Those arrows were targeted at different targets. Happy was hidden in the crowd, and that meant the danger he faced had been greatly reduced. He absolutely had a chance to gain some points for himself.

“Kill him!”

To the martial artists around Happy, Happy was not a very eye-catching presence, but to the Mongolian cavaliers, that was the exact opposite.

The man with the alloy staff knew very clearly that this man with the Bamboo Hat had saved the Chinese general from his hands, causing him to lose what was already in his grasp.

Right now, when he saw that Happy had fallen back. He shouted an order and got himself a longbow.

The astonishing longbow was fully drawn.

Buzz!

The moment the bow string was released, the arrow charged to Happy’s back ahead of the others, and Happy was shocked by it.

Petite Dragon!

His body moved in irregular movements, and the arrow shot into the ground ahead of Happy. The fletching could not even be seen. The entire arrow was deeply embedded in the ground, and this was a clear reflection of the power in the arrow.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, the second wave of arrows that blotted out the sky finally arrived. It was the same as the first wave, they still shot to the Chinese army in a large area!

This time, Happy did not hesitate anymore.

Shifting Stars!

If someone turned his head around and looked at the sky at that moment, they will definitely be so shocked that their jaws will fall. Among the large layer of dark clouds were arrows, but right then, one-fifth of them suddenly changed their direction in the sky! They strangely gathered together and shot to the Mongolian cavaliers who came at them.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

But there was no endless sounds of flesh being pierced through, because Happy’s targets this time were not the Mongolian cavaliers right in front of the charge.

More than two hundred arrows gathered their firepower together and shot to the five 1,000-man commanders and the man with the alloy staff.

Compared to the two hundred or so normal Mongolian cavaliers, these big fishes were worth much more!

“What?!”

When they were faced with the sudden and fierce onslaught, the five 1,000-man commanders widened their eyes in fear. They cried out strangely, and they were shot full of arrows when they swung their weapons to block the arrows.

Each 1,000-man commander was worth five hundred points, and so, Happy obtained those two thousand five hundred points.

But the man with the alloy was a bit more troublesome.

When he saw that the situation was not right, he moved dexterously and slid under his steed.

The pitiful war horse withstood all the onslaught from the arrows in his place. It was shot so badly that not a single part of it was left intact.

The man with the alloy staff was still shot a few times, though, and he landed behind his cavaliers with a sour expression.

When he saw this, Happy thought that it was a great pity. If there were more arrows, the situation might have been better. The 10,000-man commander was worth one thousand points, and while Happy had no idea what sort of loot he will drop either, he was certain it will be good, and that 10,000-man commander was his main target! He had tried his best to affect and control more arrows with the Shifting Stars just now, but in the end, he noticed that all that he could control was already his limit.

But that was alright.

The deaths of the five 1,000-man commanders and the 10,000-man commander falling behind his battalion made Happy change his tactic. He faced the Mongolian cavaliers who charged at him like a tidal wave, and Happy did not choose to continue retreating. Instead, he went up against them.

The Mongolian cavaliers ahead of him changed their weapons!

The distance between both sides was reduced to nothing in the blink of an eye.

Two Mongolian cavaliers pressed their bodies against their horses and swung their scimitars after precise calculations.

Their weapons flashed, and the afterimage Happy left behind on the spot was cut in half!

Those two Mongolian cavaliers had a fine, bloody hole appear on their foreheads. They fell off their horses and crashed at the spot where Happy disappeared.

A few people saw this, and they were instantly shocked.

But what surprised them even more was that the person who charged into the midst of the Mongolian cavaliers disappeared at an even faster speed, and the Mongolian cavaliers’ charge never ended.

Hence, even though they guessed that the person with the Bamboo Hat might be a top-class player and wondered who his target was, they did not stop to look closely.

‘Happy?’

But there was still someone in the group who noticed Happy’s presence.

She was the solo female player who had charged into the battlefield with Happy just now. However, at that time, they had been very far away from each other, and when the Mongolian cavaliers gathered together, she was shoved to this place as well.

If Happy were at her side, he will definitely recognize her and marvel that there were still people from Mu Clan around.

She was Red Coral, the military adviser of Black Rose Clan.

She was also considered one of the higher ups in Mu Clan, but there were plenty of moments where the people from Mu Clan did not choose to interfere with Black Rose Clan’s actions, because those from Black Rose Clan brought a lot of benefits for Mu Clan.

She had originally been using her Ice Silver Needle to accumulate points in the crowd, and she had actually long since noticed Happy, who was dressed strangely, moved in great subtle motions, and carefully made sure that he stood in front of the Chinese players. At that time, she began to suspect that Happy had some sort of powerful finger technique that also served as an ultimate technique through his attacks, which he kept hidden with ingenious motions, but she did not dare recklessly go over to him and ask him. Then, when she was also terrified and made to retreat by the Mongolian cavaliers’ charge, she noticed the astonishing change in the arrows in the sky and the Mongolian cavaliers, and she figured out that she was actually fighting in the same battlefield as Mu Clan’s master. The result of her discovery made her not know whether she wanted to laugh or cry.

‘What’s he doing?’

But Happy’s actions still puzzled Red Coral.

Even though she believed in Happy’s strength, but Happy did not kill too many of the Mongolian cavaliers. Instead, he slaughtered his way straight into the enemy group, which caused her to be baffled.

*****

Happy still did not know that someone had already figured out his identity. He carefully avoided the attacks continuously, and once he killed dozens of Mongolian cavaliers, he finally reached the place where the 1,000-man cavaliers were killed. It was also the place where the man with the alloy staff lost his war horse.

The man held his alloy staff tightly and stood in front of Happy like a god of war. With a solemn gaze, he stared at the man with the Bamboo Hat, who seemed relaxed despite the fact that he was surrounded by his subordinates.

“Shifting Stars… You’re the Murong Clan elite our military adviser has told us to be wary of!”

The arrogance from the man with the alloy staff disappeared without a trace, and his tone was incredibly stern.

“Zhao Deyan…”

While Happy shifted to avoid the Mongolian cavaliers’ weapons, he quickly bent down and picked up the equipment those 1,000-man commanders dropped. Then, he calmly put them away into his Universe Bag.

“You figured out my identity, at least.” He obtained all five pieces of equipment, and all of them were third-echelon masterpieces. They were all goods that will sell well in the market, and they were all worth nearly ten million taels of silver.

Happy smiled. His gaze returned to the man with the alloy staff. He brought out his Noble Sword from his Universe Bag, which had a very lavish and long appearance. He had been using his Joined Finger to attack his enemies previously, and that was because he did not want to alert the fleeing Chinese martial artists. He also did not want to attract too many Mongolian cavaliers to him.

There were nearly two hundred Mongolian cavaliers who surrounded Happy. But even with the 10,000-man commander among them, Happy still did not feel too pressured.

When he noticed the sheathed sword in Happy’s hands, the man with the alloy staff narrowed his eyes, and he could not help but cry out. “I knew it, it’s you!”

Clang!

A clear sword whine charged to the clouds and traveled far and wide! A dazzling sword force shot skyward from the crowd.
