Sword Among Us Chapter 325 – Battle to the Death!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment the black messenger pigeons appeared, Happy recognized their origin, and his expression changed. He instantly knew that the situation was bad. If all three sects received requests for help at the same time, they were probably facing an abnormal situation: someone who had been planning for a long time to attack had decided to take action…

Disaster had struck the three sects!

When Absolute Nonsense swept his gaze over the letter, his face instantly filled with rage!

“They attacked our headquarters while its defenses were weak! What a despicable act!” Once he hissed those words through gritted teeth, he turned to his people, spread his arms, and shouted loudly, “Brothers! Jade Fox Palace has never gone off seeking trouble, but today, someone has decided to destroy our foundation. Brothers, do you accept this?!”

“We don’t!”

All sorts of murderous roars rose to the clouds from the forest!

“Brothers, are any of you willing to die for the sect and for glory?!”

At the same time, Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens and Zhao Wuji also mobilized an army among them. The bloodlust of the large group of elites instantly stirred.

“We’ll fight to the death!”

“AAAAHHHH!!”

Happy could sense that the elites of the three sects were burning with fighting spirits. Each of them looked as if they had turned into sabers and swords! They released an intimidating force along with a powerful presence announcing that they will die with their enemies!

“My sect masters, my suggestion just now still holds effect. If you agree to share your resources with me, I, Happy, will fight with all I have at your side.”

He spoke after he circulated his qi, and even with such a chaotic situation, his voice still traveled into each person’s ears clearly.

The three sect masters looked over at him in disbelief.

“The ones coming at us is Class One Hall, Cold Moon Palace, and Towering Palace. Brother Happy, you should think this through.”

Happy was offering to fight against two top level sects and a rising sect guarded by a peerless fighter for three nameless sects. They simply could not understand why he continued to extend his offer.

“You shouldn’t delay in making a decision. Sect masters, you should decide on this right now.”

Happy did not make any explanations and simply stared at the trio.

The mountain breeze blew at them, and his blue robes fluttered. The area instantly became much quieter. All the people’s gazes were on Happy and the two sects masters as well as vice sect master. They felt excited for what was to come.

There was no doubt in Happy’s strength.

If he helped them protect their headquarters, even if the three top sects sent their top elites over, they were confident that they could defend themselves.

“Alright!” Absolute Nonsense said resolutely in a firm voice. “Regardless of how things end today, I, Absolute, will become friends with you, Happy. From now on, you will forever be Jade Fox Palace’s brother!”

“YEAH!!!”

The sect members from Jade Fox Palace cheered!

“I will represent our sect master and agree to the cooperation!” Zhao Wuji said with a stern expression.

After he spoke, Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens wrapped his fist in his palm in excitement.

“We wouldn’t have known each other if we didn’t fight against each other. From now on, all of us from Blood River Sect will be your friend!”

Happy wrapped his fist in his palm as well, and he gave his answer readily. “We will drink to our union after the war!”

“ALRIGHT!”

Once the decision was made, the players slapped their horses, and the horses neighed before the sound of horse hooves thundered against the ground!

The numerous riders were like tigers charging down the mountain. With a momentum that could make mountains tremble, they rushed out of Shennongjia.

*****

At the door of Jade Fox Palace’s headquarters in Baokang County, there were more than four hundred Class One Hall members who had surrounded the empty ground outside the main door. The entrances to the two streets leading to the headquarters were completely locked down, and archers waited around the area in a neat fashion. Their bows were pointed at Jade Fox Palace’s entrance!

And while Jade Fox Palace was angry toward the strong enemies that suddenly arrived, their individual combat abilities could not compare to those of Class One Hall’s elites. There were more than one hundred corpses at the entrance. The gate was shut tight, but they did not even dare to show their faces on the walls.

They had no choice.

It was clear that Class One Hall had come prepared. There were around four hundred people in their raid. Not only was their equipment good and reached the standards of top-tier elites, they also had dozens of archers with high-tier bow techniques. If anyone showed up, they were immediately shot through with arrows and would die or find themselves heavily injured!

Once Jade Fox Palace lost more than one hundred lives, they had to temporarily give up on the dignity of the strongest local sect and shut their gates to focus on defending their headquarters.

However, once the news about it spread out, Boakang immediately burst into commotion. Thousands of Jade Fox Palace members returned to their headquarters at the fastest speed possible to provide reinforcements, but they were blocked outside the streets.

Even though the people could fight and kill freely in the headquarters, that was only effective for a certain area around it!

Class One Hall had clearly experimented with it many times before, and they positioned themselves perfectly at the borders while they waited ready for battle. Once someone entered the area, they would immediately attack and kill them! If someone attacked from outside the area, they did not even need to attack. The members of Six Doors would naturally appear and capture the attacker.

Once some people died, the people outside gradually calmed down. They began calling their friends madly and entered through the backdoor of the headquarters. They gave up on launching a pincer attack and prepared to fight head-on against Class One Hall’s invasion.

Monk with Thick Eyebrows stood right in front of his people at the empty ground right in front of the entrance to Jade Fox Palace. There was a hint of complacency on his face, but also a hint of solemnness.

Even though he had managed to catch Jade Fox Palace off guard with the lightning fast attack and gain a footing in the fight, the pressure was incredibly great when they faced a large guild with eight thousand people.

Jade Fox Palace was a huge sect. Even though all their elites had gone out and there were few who could put up a fight, once everyone made their decision to defend the place to the last man, wanting to break through the door and destroy Jade Fox Palace’s foundation became quite hard…

“Fortunately, he’s around.”

Monk with Thick Eyebrows cast a glance at a figure to the left and became much calmer.

“It’s almost ten minutes now,” someone beside him said quietly.

Monk with Thick Eyebrows nodded.

Ten minutes was how long the system protected a sect’s foundation when it was attacked.

During that period of time, the sect’s foundation could not be destroyed. In fact, they could not even get through the door. They could only wait until the protection time was over before they could threaten the foundation.

When Happy had attacked Five Venoms, he had also waited for a period of time before he entered the place!

Right then, it was Class One Hall’s turn to do that.

“Let’s make the best use of our time.”

Monk with Thick Eyebrows knew that no matter what was the situation in the crystal mines right then, Absolute Nonsense and the others had to have received news that their sect had been attacked. After hearing that, there was no doubt that he would rush back at his fastest speed.

If they rode on high-grade steeds, they could reach the town from Shennongjia within ten minutes. If everything went smoothly, the place would be reduced to rubble by then. A few minutes was enough for Class One Hall to destroy the sect’s foundation.

“First echelon, be on guard!”

Right when the time arrived, Monk with Thick Eyebrows issued a loud order.

“Archer squad, fire!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The arrows that contained powerful qi and astonishing damage rammed into Jade Fox Palace’s gate continuously from a great distance.

Boom!

Once the gate lost the protection from the system, it collapsed with a loud bang and shrill cry!

Behind the gate was a dense group of Jade Fox Palace members. A neat row of archers had its bows drawn to their fullest. They appeared before the group of Class One Hall members like a very tragic vision.

Then, they fired at each other!
