Sword Among Us

Fight!

 When Happy saw that the great elder’s qi had become even greater and realized that they had both become completely enraged by the fight, he resolutely gave up on using Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and switched to Ten True Dragon Styles as well as Joined Finger. He moved around and depleted the great elder’s qi while fighting head to head against him.

 Even though the protective properties of Golden Bell Cocoon were weaker than those of the great elder’s body fortification, with Nine Yang Divine Skill and fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set, Happy could fight a war of attrition!

 The first time they exchanged blows, neither side gained an advantage over the other.

 Even though the great elder’s offense was much fiercer and stronger, Happy’s two Joined Finger attacks were not easy to receive either.

 They injured the other while also suffering injuries themselves!

 Even though the great elder had an advantage in qi realm, Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill, which provided him with an endless stream of qi as well as soothed his injuries.

 “Boy, just try receiving another one of my staff attacks!”

 When the great elder saw that the attacks he was skilled with and the weapon he had sealed away for a long time did not allow him to gain much of an advantage, the killing intent at the bottom of his heart became even stronger.

 “Come on!”

 They met each other in the air again, and the results were the same once more.

 The Golden Bell Cocoon swayed fiercely and let out a bell chime that made the air tremble when Happy crashed into a corner of the fake mountain like a cannonball and fell to the ground.

 The great elder might not have been in as pathetic a state as Happy, but when they hit each other, he could clearly sense that his body fortification was struck twice, and his condition plummeted.

 ‘I have to end this quick!’

 The great elder cast a glance at the other battlefield. One of the elders was already dead, and the other injured, so he would not last for much longer either.

 Upon seeing that, the great elder’s gaze darkened. He tapped against the ground, and his speed increased to the max before he shot toward the spot where Happy had fallen.

 Whoosh!

 Right when he jumped on the fake mountain, two fierce finger-generated gusts of wind charged toward him at the perfect moment.

 Bang! Bang!

 They struck him head-on.

 The true qi of his body fortification swayed violently, and his momentum vanished completely. The great elder felt a heavy weight against his chest, as if there were stones on it, and he staggered back from the fake mountain. He only took several steps backward when a red flush quickly appeared on his face before it faded away.

 “What a cunning brat.” The great elder was incredibly angry, but he also became much more wary.

 The attack just then had given him a lesson.

 He would not gain anything by being anxious!

 Happy recovered after circulating his qi for a while. He stood up on the fake mountain and stared at the great elder from above. The old man seemed to not know where to attack, and when Happy saw that, he smiled calmly.

 Ever since he started to practice Nine Yang Divine Skill, his spiritual senses had increased by a large margin, and he could clearly hear everyone’s breathing in a circular area of 328 feet. His reactions and speed had also increased by a large margin, which had allowed him to deliver his attack at the perfect timing. The more the great elder wanted to end the battle in one go, the faster he was going to lose, because he was not facing any average enemy.

 At that moment, Happy did not mind drawing out the fight a little.

 He had attacked repeatedly with his fingers, so the depletion of his qi was very great. If he could rest for a while, he would naturally not complain. After all, the situation on the other side had become stable, and he would soon receive reinforcements.

 Even though Happy really wanted to get a Class S battle assessment to increase the level of his Joined Finger, it was still a little hard for him to fight against an old monster from the evil cult. It would be better for him to advance gradually. Everything he did had to have saving Song Yuanqiao as the main goal!

 “Great Hero Song.”

 While the group fought, All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not remain idle. He got out of the palace and searched through the houses on the right, where he seemed to have obtained a lot of rewards.

 “Did you find him?”

 “I did. There is a hidden tunnel in the palace that is activated via a mechanism. All of them are locked inside.” He stopped talking for a moment before he said in an incredibly smug manner, “I also found another exit that will lead us straight out of Sky Demon Secret Cave.”

 “What?”

 The others were instantly displeased.

 “We got here after so much trouble, so we should check out the other places too. I think that Sky Demon Secret Cave should have more stuff around.”

 They had run into countless mechanisms and traps on the way, but they had very few chances to fight. In fact, they did not see any treasures either, which was why they could not accept running away.

 As they talked, Little North finally seized the moment the evil cult elder’s body fortification was destroyed to injure him gravely, which made the man’s strength plummet.

 Once Little North injected poison into his opponent’s body, he did not need to bother with any subsequent matters, and he did not even need to attack, so he just moved away from the battlefield.

 “Will the real Sky Demon Secret Cave be in the tunnel Wind Assault Tower went to? Perhaps it’s not even here but in that cold cave.”

 “Just ask that old man.”

 Happy had exchanged blows with the evil cult great elder more than once. Even though his Golden Bell Cocoon had shattered, the great elder was not in a good condition either. Once his body fortification fell apart, he had to be wary of Happy’s silent Joined Finger at all times.

 “Forget the other things first. Go and save Great Hero Song and the others.” While Happy gave his orders, he increased the speed of his offense.

 But Happy no longer dared to move up carelessly. He used his Joined Finger and completely suppressed the great elder, making him unable to bring out his advantage. He depleted the great elder’s strength and life step by step.

 Soon, they had exchanged more than one hundred moves.

 Multiple black holes the size of fingertips had appeared around the great elder, and there were dozens of bloody holes on him. His top knot fell off, and he looked dishevelled. He stared at Happy intently while his chest heaved.

 Normally, when things progressed to such a point, a great elder would understand that they had to leave. If the person was at all smart.

 But Happy did not know whether it was because the great elder loved the place too much or whether it was because Silver Wolf, Wind Chimes, Momo, and Little North were eyeing him with hostility, but he did not show any intention to leave.

 Since the great elder did not flee, Silver Wolf and the others were happy to just watch from the side as Happy fought by himself.

 Inaction Realm martial artists at the peak were not any weaker than Master Kong Xiang of Shaolin Temple. If Happy could kill him alone, he would get a Class S battle assessment, and it would be the same as him training for a long time, which was why they did not interfere with the fight.

 “It’s about time…”

 The evil cult great elder was struck a few times on the legs, and it became very difficult for him to move. His qi wilted, and his strength dropped to 30% of the original.

 Happy sighed and increased the speed at which he struck with his fingers. His qi had already returned to the peak, and at that moment, all of it exploded from his body without any being held back. He executed finger strike after finger strike, and the fierce finger-generated wind quietly jabbed into the great elder in an endless stream.

 The great elder could withstand the first few finger strikes, but his arm gradually became numb, and he slowed down. Bloody holes then appeared on his chest, arms, shoulders, and stomach.

 They covered the great elder’s body, which shuddered nonstop, and he staggered while being forced back. A pair of angry eyes filled with desolation glared at Happy’s face.

 “You can’t get out!” the great elder roared suddenly. “Hahahaha… you won’t get out… even if you kill me, you will all die here with me!”

 As blood poured out of the spot above his chest, his voice came to an abrupt halt!
