Sword Among Us

At the moment they exchanged blows, Happy could clearly see that the person who came over had a big, evil-looking face. His expression was one of savagery, and he gritted his teeth in exasperation. He looked as if he were facing the person who killed his father, and he attacked resolutely with his full strength, but…

 Boom!

 Great power was rebounded from each other’s arms. Both sides were well-matched, and at the moment the man was surprised, Happy positioned a hand into the shape of a claw while he stood resolutely where he was. He seized the person’s arm and used the inertia of the man’s body when he was forced back by the power of their strikes to cancel out his own inertia.

 Whoosh!

 He lowered his lower body and shifted his center of gravity slightly before he moved forward with short and swift footsteps. The dragon-shaped vortex that appeared on his right arm was pushed swiftly into the person’s face with a matchless speed.

 But the person was an incredibly ruthless one. When he saw that the punch was right in front of his face, he gritted his teeth and used his forehead to ram against it. Not only was his momentum to hurt others incredibly vicious, he was also very vicious to himself.

 Bang!

 Fist and forehead rammed viciously into each other.

 What exceeded Happy’s expectation was that he did not see the attacker’s head being torn open. His fist seemed to have rammed against a vajra. There was a small bump on the person’s forehead, and it was like a sturdy Vajra Stone. It caused Happy to shudder violently, and pain burst through his right arm. Meanwhile, the man only patted his head before he revealed a savage and smug smile.

 ‘This person’s forehead is so sturdy. He must have intentionally practiced a high-tier martial art like Iron Head or something.’

 While Happy thought of that, the man regained strength in his left arm. He cackled strangely before he seized Happy’s hand, then used his forehead to ram against Happy’s head!

 “Careful!” Shi Feixuan reminded Happy from behind him.

 Yet Happy’s expression was as calm as water.

 “You sure have guts!” Happy shouted.

 Even though he did not dare to match the attacker’s forehead, he was never the type to suffer any losses. When he saw that the momentum of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm had been halted, he switched the momentum of his attacks. He pushed three of his fingers together and poured all his qi into them, then pushed fiercely at the head in front of him.

 Not a single sound was heard.

 The brute clearly did not expect that Happy would change his moves spontaneously and increase his damage by leaps and bounds. Since the man was caught off guard, he could not help but suffer a tiny loss. Three red marks formed on his head, and he quickly released Happy before he staggered backward while holding his head.

 Happy was not in a much better condition though. He scowled and felt that his fingers were slightly swollen.

 It felt as if he had pierced through a normal ore with a finger strike. Even though the man looked as if he had suffered internal injuries, his skin had not been torn, and it surprised Happy as well as made him feel indignant.

 At the moment the attacker staggered back, Happy pointed forward with his left hand and tapped the air.

 “Gah!” The brute was struck in the chest. His body shuddered, and his expression instantly turned incredibly unpleasant. He shouted toward the area outside without even turning his head back. “This person’s good! Come in!”

 ‘He has helpers?’

 Happy quirked an eyebrow. Then, he saw two men, one tall and the other short and who had very unique faces, charge into the yard. They caught the brute from the sides and supported him up.

 The tall one was like a bamboo shoot, and his legs were very long. When he stood on the ground, two pits were formed where his feet were.

 The short one was stout and looked very capable. He had two sabers at his waist, and his eyes swept over Happy, Shi Feixuan, and Chen Youliang like he was planning thievery. His gaze shone with an incredibly dangerous light.

 Chen Youliang and Shi Feixuan moved to stand by Happy’s sides in the yard. Chen Youliang’s expression was solemn. “And here I was, wondering who it is. So it’s you, Three Evils!”

 “Elder Chen, their qi realms are extraordinary. Do you know them?” Shi Feixuan asked softly.

 Chen Youliang nodded and said with a solemn tone, “They are evil but powerful martial artists who wander about Phoenix Sun County. They often rob merchant groups, and they owe blood debts to quite a number of martial artists in the righteous path. They are infamous as the Three Monsters of Phoenix County. I didn’t expect that they would have become part of the evil cult.”

 “Are you done talking?!”

 “Evil Ghost, let us handle the brat. Go and kill that woman and the lapdog Chen from Beggar’s Sect! Others, come in and get rid of this branch in Phoenix Sun County!”

 The short and capable man seemed to be the leader among the three. Once he gave his orders, a large group of evil cult disciples in Moksha Realm rushed into the yard.

 The system quickly notified Happy.

 “Ding!

 “Protect Phoenix Sun Branch. Do not let Song Yuanqiao and the others die. You must kill at least two evil cult elites who are at the level of elders!”

 Happy felt his heart tense. The quest was quite troublesome.

 Fortunately, Shi Feixuan could also tell how urgent the matter was. When she saw the group of evil cult disciples surge into the yard, she said nothing but drew her longsword. A dazzlingly bright light shone, and a smooth as well as broadsword force easily killed dozens of evil cult disciples in the yard.

 “Elder Chen, go inside and protect Great Hero Song as well as the other people. Feixuan, why don’t we protect the yard together? We’ll get rid of these nobodies before we take care of those three.”

 Happy knew that at that moment, neither he nor Shi Feixuan could fight against the infamous Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun. The only thing he could do was to ensure Great Hero Song and the others’ safety before they worked together to fight against the enemies.

 Fortunately, Shi Feixuan’s sword technique was Clear Sword, and its damage was not low. Happy’s Joined Finger could also swiftly provide support and strike people down. He attacked with both hands and immediately defeated a number of evil cult disciples.

 When Shi Feixuan heard his words, she felt great pressure on her shoulders. “I’ll try my best!”

 “Hmph! You’re just daydreaming!”

 The thin and tall man of the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun laughed coldly. He tapped against the ground and chased after Chen Youliang, who ran back into the house to defend it.

 But the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun had clearly underestimated Shi Feixuan’s strength!

 “Go back!”

 With no signs whatsoever, a dazzling sword force cut toward the thin and tall man as well as the multiple evil cult disciples near him. It spilled the blood of the evil cult disciples on the moon lit ground.

 The thin and tall man was shocked, and he quickly retreated. A rather deep wound was on his body. When he backed away, he stared at Shi Feixuan in disbelief.

 ‘This woman is good!’ He immediately focused his attention on her and no longer dared to underestimate her.

 On the other side, the short and capable man tried to break into the yard through Happy’s side and kill the elites from Wudang Sect and Ming Cult, but Happy used everything he had to prevent that. He delivered a palm-generated wind with his left hand using Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, while he tapped forward quietly with his right hand. He used the momentum of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm to protect himself, and the short and capable man instantly fell into a disadvantage.

 His body fortification shuddered, and he fell from the air and took a few steps back.

 “Brat, you’re not from Beggar’s Sect, sow hy do you know Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm? It’s supposed to be their ultimate technique!” The short and capable man’s eyes went wide, and he stared at Happy viciously. “And what was that finger technique just now?!”

 “You talk too much.”

 The situation was urgent, so Happy would not waste his breath on talking. He moved and stopped in front of the house to serve as a wall. He spread his arms wide, and several fierce finger-generated gusts of wind shot forward soundlessly.

 Bang! Bang!

 His finger-generated wind combined with the sword force from Clear Sword that came from nearby to support him. It was just in time to crash into the few evil cult disciples, who had already arrived at the entrance, and killed them on the spot!

 “Attack together!”

 The short and capable man’s eyes sparkled, and his expression turned vicious. He resolutely summoned his two brothers, and they examined Shi Feixuan and Happy for a while before they focused on Happy.

 “Evil Ghost, hold that woman back. We’ll get rid of the brat first.”

 It was clear that the threat from Clear Sword was greater in their eyes. The young man might be strong, but his qi realm was still a little too low.
