Sword Among Us

At that moment, Happy gave off such a cold presence that he was like a murderous god!

His gaze was like ice, and his expression equally chilling.

His provocation caused the people from Class One Hall to quickly snap out of their shock, and since that murderous intent was targeted at them, they activated their qi realms and body fortifications. Thirty or so piercing gazes were directed at Happy, and none of them showed any intention of backing down. Together, they created a powerful presence that formed an invisible wave of pressure in the air. It looked like they were about to counterattack and suppress Happy at any moment.

The air of hostility spread through the area!

A fight was imminent!

Happy swept his gaze through the area and noticed the eye-catching equipment and weapons of the people from Class One Hall. A cold and mocking smile appeared on his lips at the sight of it, and Clear Abyss landed in his hands in all its three-colored glory.

When both parties were about to engage in a battle with the intensity that could set the world on fire, a figure shot between the two sides like an arrow.

“Haha, Happy, it is impolite of us to not come and welcome you even though you came here!”

Loving Sword Hai Dongqing had a face full of smiles when he wrapped his fist in his palm at Happy, who had a cold expression, and he did so in a manner as if he was very close to Happy. His voice was clear, loud, not arrogant, but not humble either. With his extremely amiable face, it was very easy for him to leave behind a good impression to others.

When Towering Palace interfered, the murderous aura coming from the two volcanoes that were Happy and Class One Hall instantly became much weaker.

“Towering Palace?”

Happy cast a glance at the emblem on Hai Dongqing’s chest and frowned. He had multiple grudges with Class One Hall, but he did not want to provoke Towering Palace for the time being.

Hai Dongqing smiled and said, “I’m Hai Dongqing. The wanderers thought highly of me, so they came to call me Loving Sword. It’s truly an honor for me to meet a famous player like Happy today.”

“Really?” Happy cast a glance at Hai Dongqing and spoke in an indifferent tone. “Why did Towering Palace suddenly decide to come to the royal mausoleum? You should have heard that you most likely won’t receive any rewards as of late, or else, Class one Hall wouldn’t have sent Tang Feng to stop me.”

Barren Murderer was displeased by his words. He snorted and said with a dark tone, “Don’t go spewing nonsense now.”

“What, you don’t have the guts to admit to what you just said?” Happy laughed coldly. “How responsible are you with your words, Vice Hall Master Barren Murderer of Class One Hall.”

Barren Murderer said nothing, but his gaze grew focused.

He did not think that Happy would be able to identify him or that what he just said would have reached Happy’s ears. It left him without anything suitable to say for the time being.

“Brother Happy, don’t misunderstand. In truth, Tang Feng has heard for a long time that you have outstanding abilities, and so he always wanted to meet you. We just happened to be in the area.”

“You don’t need to explain anything to me.”

Happy waved his hand and interrupted Hai Dongqing’s attempt at making an explanation. He moved past Hai Dongqing and the people from Class One Hall, passing right by their faces. The expression of people from Towering Palace instantly changed…

He was too bold!

It had to be known that he was practically walking into Class One Hall’s encirclement on his own. The people from Class One Hall only needed one gaze to launch an attack on him. Could it be that Happy had the confidence to retreat alive before so many elites?

The people from Class One Hall had unpleasant faces. Their grips on their weapons were so tight that their knuckles turned white. They were unable to help themselves and used their gazes to seek Barren Murderer’s opinion.

But Barren Murderer’s eyes were focused on Happy’s golden armor. His expression grew solemn after recognizing it. From the moment Happy approached them until he left, he never gave the order to attack.

Hai Dongqing’s smile had also become a little stiff due to Happy’s unexpected and provocative act. He held his breath and stared at the group of people from Class One Hall. When Happy left, he released a long sigh of relief.

The people from Towering Palace and Class One Hall sighed deeply as well, but in secret. Some wiped sweat off their brows, some gasped, and a few people had to lessen the pressure over their weapons.

Barren Murderer said nothing.

When he saw Happy reach the entrance of the royal mausoleum, he used a few seconds to calm the surging emotions in his heart while he watching Happy’s back with a solemn expression. His gaze was dark, grave, and complicated.

“The world of martial artists has always been full of violence, it’s where the strong prey on the weak…”

When Happy reached the entrance, he stopped moving. With his back was turned toward the people from the two top sects, he spoke in a calm voice that reached everyone’s ears clearly.

“Chasing after fame and benefits is the nature of man. Since Class One Hall has decided to treat Beautiful Robes Faction and Mu Clan as their rivals, it means that we will go to war sooner or later. You don’t need to explain to me why Tang Feng appeared, Vice Hall Master Barren, just as how you will not find it strange when I attack Class One Hall someday.”

The people from Class One Hall grew livid.

The people from Towering Palace had stern looks on their faces while they sucked in sharp breaths. They could already tell that it was Happy mocking Class One Hall and issuing a declaration of war!

Happy and Class One Hall’s fight had progressed to the point where they were like oil and water because of the matters in Baokang and Wengcheng. However, both sides could still be considered to be rather restrained in their movements. But once Happy’s words spread out, they might soon bring their hostility to the table.

Barren Murderer clearly understood the effects of Happy’s words to Beautiful Robes Faction and Mu Clan. The look on his face was so dark that it was unmistakable, and his eyes narrowed so much that they were mere slits.

The Class One Hall members stared at Barren Murderer in unison, and killing intent spread out of their bodies.

‘He’s too arrogant!’

From the moment Class One Hall was built, it was the first time a player actually said such arrogant words in their face while being alone!

Class One Hall’s glory was their everything. Happy’s act of looking down on them was something they could not withstand. Once Barren Murderer gave the order, they were confident that they could make Happy die for his words!

Barren Murderer did not respond to his comrades’ gazes.

Even though the thought to rush forward was also attacking his self-control, rationality told him that Happy was a powerful player who could fight against Ninja King, so there would be no good result whatsoever if they fought a bloody war right there. Instead, he might even be sending some of his brothers to their deaths.

The people with him were all Class One Hall elites!

When he thought of it, Barren Murderer chose silence.

“Vice Hall Master Barren.” Happy suddenly turned around, and his gaze landed on Barren Murderer’s face, along with his dark eyes. “We can settle matters regarding Tang Feng while inside. This isn’t the first time we’ve come into contact with each other, but this is the first time I’ve come into contact with one of the three monsters from Class One Hall. I hope… that you won’t disappoint me.”

When he said the last few words, his chilly tone became very obvious.

Happy paused then for a moment, but he did not wait for Barren Murderer to speak. He instead turned to the people from Towering Palace.

“Since Tang Feng did not manage to hold me back, I believe that Towering Palace should withdraw from this fight. The weapons are blind in the hall of the royal mausoleum. If I end up injuring any of you by accident, I will not be able to forgive myself, and at that time, I will be too ashamed to meet Brother Shangguan.”

It was noon right then!

Happy did not give a chance for Hai Dongqing or Barren Murderer to reply and just walked into Eight Trigrams Bewitching Treasure.

Hai Dongqing’s smile was frozen on his face, and it looked incredibly hilarious. He glanced at the murderous bunch from Class One Hall, and Barren Murderer, who was so angry that he was fuming. Then, he looked at his own brothers.

Happy had made his intentions very clear, regardless of whether they were reminders or threats.

He was waiting for the people from Class One Hall to enter the hall of the royal mausoleum! Whoever went in would receive an attack with the force of a thunderbolt!

It was not suitable for Towering Palace to get mixed into such a mess.

“Vice Hall Master Barren, I’m sorry, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Hai Dongqing thought about it, and he decided to allow the people from Class One Hall to preserve some dignity. He waved his hand and brought his people away from the royal mausoleum. As for what Barren Murderer would do, that had nothing to do with him.

Once Hai Dongqing left with his people, Barren Murderer’s gaze when he looked at the royal mausoleum instantly became incredibly dark!

As a top professional gamer, he knew just what sort of threat Happy posed when he entered the royal mausoleum ahead of them.

If they engaged in a chaotic battle in the hall where it was already very dangerous, Happy would gain an absolute initiative, because he was alone. Besides, Happy’s defenses allowed him to withstand Ninja King’s attacks, so he did not need to care about the damage from the splitting throwing knives.

Barren Murderer could already imagine just what sort of difficulty Class One Hall would face if they entered the royal mausoleum!

“This Tang Feng…”

Barren Murderer found himself caught in a predicament.
