Sword Among Us Chapter 106: Flowering Knights Slash

"Very well!"

Happy avoided the secret technique the man with the fan launched with his spear, which had charged at him like a hissing black snake. The disappointment in missing his target made the man's heart tumble, and he felt so displeased that he wanted to vomit blood. He had a hard time recovering, and when he did, he saw Happy thirty-two feet away while one of his brothers was dead and another injured. His expression instantly became even paler and more savage.

"I remember your name now, Happy! Just you wait! You provoked Purple Sun Sect without any reason. From now on, Purple Sun Sect will not rest until one of us dies!" he shouted fiercely. He practically hissed the final few words, making it clear just how great his hate for Happy had become.

"Purple Sun Sect."

Happy snorted coldly and flicked his wrist. A lancet knife shot out at the four people in front of him.

Whoosh!

As his qi tumbled about, the hearing of the man with the fan was no longer as sensitive as before. His body had also not recovered to the point where he was at his best. When he saw a cold glare charging at him, astonishment appeared on his face, and he closed his eyes to wait for death.

Slap!

The afterimage of a whip charged forward like lightning. It struck the throwing knife that was two feet away from the man with the fan with abnormal accuracy and dissolved the danger. It was Phantom Jade who had attacked.

Even so, Phantom Jade did not show any hint of relaxation.

The pressure Happy gave them was too great!

This was the first time he met a player whose ability was so unfathomable. His attacks were powerful, free, unconventional, and relaxed.

If they were up one against one, Phantom Jade did not have the confidence to win.

However, their Young Master Young White Dragon had already turned them into enemies and even said that they would not rest until one of them died, causing Phantom Jade to be unable to say anything to mitigate the situation. He could only whisper to an injured companion who did not join the fight and who remained by the side to release a messenger pigeon to ask for help.

But to his surprise, Red Coral swept her gaze over the area and exposed their intentions right on the spot, because she was as cunning as a fox.

"Handsome boy, there're still seven people around. You have to hurry. Purple Sun Sect is great, and their men are powerful. If they call for reinforcements, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to handle an unending battle. At that time, that jade slit ring might end up in their hands!"

"Couldn't you just have kept quiet?!"

Young White Dragon, the injured man, and Phantom Jade glared at her simultaneously. They were annoyed by how they had not been able to tell just how wicked this woman was and how they did not kill her earlier.

Happy suddenly laughed long and hard while he fought against four Blessed Realm players.

"Alright!"

The momentum of his blade changed, and he moved like a spinning top among the four people. He held the Hundred-battle Saber horizontally in his hand and swung it from his waist in an arc. The glare from his blade exploded forth, and he executed Flowering Knights Slash!

The four people's expressions changed drastically. They did not have time to defend, and their blood spilled because the sword glare that had increased exponentially cut into them.

The last person panicked, and when Happy came to a swift stop, he had a throwing knife buried into his back.

The four people died.

Happy sucked in a deep breath to recover from the fatigue of using a killing skill as well as to replenish the emptiness in his Dantian region.

The skill he used just then was very famous. It was one of the three most lethal skills among the thirty-six skills of Flowering Knights' Song. As time passed, the skill would eat away his qi before it released all that it took in one move. It would increase the user's speed exponentially, and the lethality of the skill could kill multiple targets at once. It was incredibly domineering!

In his previous life, Happy had never used this skill to get rid of other players, because it had far too many weaknesses, but if it were used to handle beginners, the effects of the skill were quite good.

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became strange.

The only people who could stand on their feet were Phantom Jade, Young White Dragon, and the man who was previously injured. The three of them had clearly underestimated their companions' ability to stall for time. The moment they let their guard down, they found that all four of them had already died. It was easy to imagine just how shocked they were.

The trio's expressions changed drastically, and they could not help but gather together.

At that moment, Happy was no different from a demon in their hearts. He might be alone, but not even Phantom Jade felt confident in being able to handle him.

"Brother, you can take away the jade slit ring, and Purple Sun Sect will consider to have lost in this matter, what do you say?"

When he saw Happy draw close to him, Phantom Jade sucked in a deep breath and finally said the tactful words he had in store right from the beginning.

After all, it was difficult for everyone to have reached their current level.

If they died once, they would be injured for an entire month, and their combat ability would be reduced. It would be the same as their qi realm falling by a realm. It would affect their future development by quite a bit.

"If you said this earlier, so many of your people wouldn't have died." Happy laughed coldly before he raised his hand and pointed at Young White Dragon. "You can all leave… but this person stays."

Expressions of delight had appeared on the faces of the trio, but when they heard his last statement, their expressions immediately went dark.

Young White Dragon was their sect master's son, which meant that he was their young master. If they cast him aside, how were they supposed to explain themselves to their sect master? It would be even more unpleasant than dying.

Happy had not finished speaking just then. With his tone as cold as ever, he looked at Phantom Jade. "When you go back, warn your sect master that this person said that you will not rest until one of us dies, and ask him whether he wants it to become reality."

Phantom Jade could not speak. He felt cold sweat drip down his skin.

Happy had said whether the sect master "wanted" to it to become true, not whether it was "possible" for it to become true.

It might just be the difference of one word, but Happy had shown that he was willing to go up to their sect to destroy it, and Phantom Jade did not doubt that if their sect master was angry and did something, Happy might come at Purple Sun Sect with the force of lightning.

Phantom Jade sucked in a deep breath and nodded.

"I will tell him." He then paused for a moment before he smiled bitterly. "But I cannot abandon my brothers. If we leave, we must leave together, and if we die, we must die together!"

He said those words with firm conviction.

When he heard Phantom Jade's answer, Happy's gaze as he stared at the man became much gentler. Even Red Coral had a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Even though he knew he would die, he chose to do the heroic thing. As expected, there were really people like that in the world of martial artists!

However, Happy would not let him have his wish fulfilled.

Phantom Jade's expression froze. He raised his wrist, and his soft metallic whip immediately moved like a nimble snake. It left an afterimage in the air. It charged at Happy while crackling in the air. Its movements were clean and clear-cut. Phantom Jade wanted to gain the upperhand by striking first.

Due to the length and flexibility of the weapon, not only were its offensive abilities strong, its speed and attack radius was greater than that of most weapons. But Happy knew one of the greatest weaknesses of whip techniques.

They were highly dependent on technique! Their recovery speed was slow, and their ability to terrify others was inferior to their power in a real battle. Hence, there were few in the world of martial artists who could rely on whips to fight against top-class fighters.

Some of the strongest whip users were still stuck being beginner level whip users even after playing the game for a few years.

Happy did not panic. He noticed the arc of Phantom Jade's wrist when he moved it. Hence, he moved slightly and easily avoided the attack before he closed in on him.

Phantom Jade's expression turned into one of agony.

He was the strongest in Purple Sun Sect, and more than ten Blessed Realm players had died from his whip techniques, but before Happy, his skills were like child's toys. This left a deep impression on Phantom Jade.

When he saw Happy appear right in front of him and the intimidating glare from his blade charge toward him with an oppressive momentum, Phantom Jade instinctively gave up on fighting back, and he shut his eyes.

Bang!

Phantom Jade was sent flying away by the back of Happy's saber. The injured man lifted his sword to provide reinforcement, but he was too slow.

Happy turned around and kicked him, which sent him flying away as well. Then, he jumped, drifted in the air, and landed in front of Young White Dragon.

"It's your turn."

Young White Dragon's face turned pale.

At that moment, regardless of the indignation or anger that was previously on his face, most of it had already disappeared. He had personally witnessed the youth toy around with the powerful fighters from his Purple Sun Sect. And when he asked it himself in his heart, he found that they truly did not have the ability to fight against him.
