Sword Among Us Chapter 398 – Severely Injure Manor Master

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was different from the time when Happy had fought against the Red Flame monster. He had keenly captured the moment Manor Master had been dazed because of the change in the quest and executed the slash.

Whine!

But Manor Master was an old monster in Moksha Realm. Despite the slash being done from very close to him, and it being clear that he was taken off guard, Manor Master sensed the threat of death looming over his head the moment the sword force rose. Then, without turning around, he did something that even Happy did not expect him to do.

The silver and golden hoop intersected and passed by the sword force in the air.

The astonishing glare that rose from the silver and gold hoop created sparks in the air, and it crashed into the second sword force with an otherworldly might, diverting it.

Manor Master managed to save himself at the critical moment.

But his body fortification was still torn through. The slash had paused for a small moment, before piercing Manor Master on the right side of the chest.

The old Moksha Realm monster’s instincts and ability to save himself made Happy sigh in amazement when he saw it.

Happy was not a newbie. He knew that even if he executed Old Swordsman’s secret technique during the rare chance he got at that moment, it was impossible for him to instantly kill a Moksha Realm martial artist since he was just in Mystical Realm.

Each old monster who reached such a stage was amazing. They could move about with ease, and they had rich combat experience as well as the power to protect themselves.

However, Happy still felt a slight hint of pity.

“Pity.” He was just one millimeter away.

If the sword force had struck just a little to the side, he could have killed Manor Master.

When Happy saw how the Red Flame monster moved, he knew that he should be heavily injured. If two people ended up heavily injured and only Second Manor Master was in perfect condition, Happy would not even need Wind God to take action. He himself could kill all three Moksha Realm martial artists. Of course, he would need a lot of time for that.

“You hateful brat!”

When Second Manor Master saw that his eldest senior brother had been injured, he instantly forgot what Manor Master had told him to do.

He glared at Happy, and his Lionhead Nine-ringed Golden Broadsword formed layers of vortices in the air. They encircled Happy when the old monster passed by him, and it looked like he wanted to use an endless amount of strength to kill him inside.

Happy did not panic while he was in danger. He activated Petite Dragon and passed infinitesimally close by the glare of Lionhead Nine-ringed Golden Broadsword. He shot out and escaped from the momentum of the broadsword, and at the same time, a dazzling chill shot behind him from his hand.

Soaring Eagle Sword, Shadowless Knife…

He activated Emperor Shocks World, Petite Dragon, and threw Soaring Eagle Sword in a single breath.

Manor Master had just put away the silver and golden hoop when he fell to the ground after being struck. When he heard the powerful gust of wind coming from behind him, he turned around and blocked it. The Soaring Eagle Swords that were stuck closely together suddenly split. At an even faster speed than before, the two black lights avoided Manor Master’s silver and golden hoop and pierced his chest and stomach.

Thud! Thud!

Both Soaring Eagle Swords hit their target, and a hint of disbelief and panic appeared briefly on Manor Master’s old face. It was the first time surprise and fear rose for a short moment in his eyes despite Second Manor Master being by his side.

Emperor Shocks World might have only injured the right side of his chest, but that sword will had thrown the qi in his body into chaos. Happy’s slash had been so ingenious that it seemed like a product of nature. He had seized the moment Manor Master’s body fortification had been torn through and the old monster had not come to understand Shadowless Knife, so he managed to achieve success in one hit!

The light injury that Manor Master could suppress turned into a grave injury…

Second Manor Master flew into a rage!

The momentum of his attacks swept around in circles in a nonstop fashion.

As for Happy, he found himself in danger.

The execution of Emperor Shocks World had instantly taken away nearly one third of his power, and he had also used Petite Dragon to pass by Second Manor Master’s momentum. He had used up too much of his qi, and it had plummeted straight to the realm below Mystical Realm. Both his speed and defense lowered slightly.

Second Manor Master caught up, and Happy instantly sank into a defensive position.

Once he was swept into the attack, he would not be able to escape.

Happy’s face was pale. He did not dare to easily activate Petite Dragon, and he could only rely on Golden Bell Cocoon and Golden Armor Set to withstand Second Manor Master’s attacks head on.

Right then, he was not in good condition. Even if he recklessly activated Petite Dragon, he would not be able to avoid being struck. The great depletion of his qi would force him into a corner, but fortunately, with his abilities, Second Manor Master alone would not be able to do anything to him within a short amount of time.

At that moment, Third Manor Master charged over from the distance. Straight away, he saw his second senior brother holding his golden broadsword to chase after someone while airborne. A layer of saber glares completely locked down all of Happy’s escape routes, and sparks that were formed repeatedly when the sword glares clashed against the golden bell lit up the whole sky.

Happy seemed incredibly sturdy at that moment, but under a Moksha Realm martial artist’s crazed attacks, the golden bell was still rapidly becoming dimmer. After all, the increase in defense for Blessed Realm was just 20%.

When Happy saw that the Red Flame monster was about to rush over as well…

Clang!

Twang!

His sword glare became dim. It simply could not withstand the rampage of the Second Manor Master. In almost no time, the defense of Golden Bell Cocoon decreased by a noticeable amount.

Happy did not dare to be negligent. He moved as if the wind was under his feet, and he ignored the ravines in the ground to his left, right, and ahead of him. At the same time he used all his strength to increase the distance between them, he calmly brought out a small jade green medicinal pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

His qi realm had decreased by a whole level, and his speed had decreased as well. He was also in a situation where he could not make use of the geographical terrain because the area around him was empty. He could not dodge or flee. If he did not want to die, he could only try his best to restore his condition to Mystical Realm.

Dew Pill!

Under the attacks of the old Moksha Realm monster and in a situation where he was lacking a Qi Realm, he needed at least three minutes before he could recover slowly.

This meant that he could only use the Murong Clan Lady’s reward—Small Reversion Pill.

Even though it was a pity, he was in a dangerous situation. Once Third Manor Master got closer, he could suppress his enemy’s qi with the might of his Red Flame Palm. If he worked together with the Second Manor Master, Happy would definitely die.

He ate the Small Reversion Pill, and a clear liquid slipped into his stomach.

Happy soon noticed an astonishing heat rising from his Dantian region. The momentum and speed at which it swelled up was something that Dew Pills could never hope to compare to.

Bang!

Happy activated Mystical Realm.

At the moment his speed returned, Second Manor Master’s momentum no longer made him feel that powerless. His Golden Bell Cocoon shone with flowing defense, and it was as if it had another layer of defense added to it. Even if it was attacked, the light of Happy’s body fortification remained as sturdy as ever. The speed at which it became dimmer grew much slower.

At the same time, Happy’s movements became much nimbler. It looked as if life force and energy had stirred up in him despite his dangerous situation.

“Big brother, how did you get hurt?!”

“Give me medicine.”

The Red Flame monster and Manor Master’s conversation was heard by Happy, and his expression changed. He did not say anything, but activated Petite Dragon to escape from Second Manor Master’s control. With a few jumps, his speed instantly reached its max, and he headed toward Manor Master, who was being supported by the Red Flame monster at that moment.

“Brat, you’re just looking for death!”

The Red Flame monster had just fed Manor Master a medicinal pill when he heard movement nearby. He turned his head around to look and felt the burning pain on his face become even stronger. It made him livid.

“How dare you come back?!”

He let go of Manor Master and flicked his wrists. His old but strong fingers swiftly turned like copper which had been refined in fire, and the red swiftly filled his palms.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two Soaring Eagle Swords shot out, and they slipped past Third Manor Master to attack Manor Master, who was behind him.

“Those are mere child’s tricks!”

The strength of the Red Flame monster was clearly above that of Manor Master and Second Manor Master. His eyes sparkled brightly, and he flicked his wrists. Waves of heat rolled out the next moment. Before the two Soaring Eagle Swords could split up, they were struck so viciously that they twisted and fell to the side in a completely deformed manner.

Happy seized the chance when the Red Flame monster protected Manor Master. Instead of slowing down, he closed the distance between them by another thirty or so feet. His eyes were fixed on Manor Master, who sat cross-legged behind the Red Flame monster while circulating his qi.

Happy could not let him heal his injuries!

Under the three manor masters’ surprised and fearful gazes, he sheathed his Noble Sword, took hold of its hilt with one hand, and charged at the Red Flame monster with an indomitable spirit.
