Sword Among Us Chapter 418 – Zhang Wuji is Injured

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With that one call to wait, Happy and the others instantly feel their hearts surge!

A boy dressed in handwoven cloth walked out from the crowd formed by the six great system-allocated sects. He was a powerful martial artist in his generation who possessed two divine skills—Nine Yang Divine Skill and Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

However, the six great system-allocated sects did not care about this boy who had dirt covering his face, even if he spoke logically and talked about kindness and morality. His words did make the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects speechless though.

Based on the original plot, He Taichong would use one strike to test Zhang Wuji’s skills, and he would summon his junior brother to execute Dual Rites Sword Technique and Sword Control Art from Kunlun Sect together with him.

Sand and stones danced in the battlefield, and sword aura rushed into the air. Fierce sword glares and dense sword whines instantly surrounded Zhang Wuji.

“As expected of a teacher from the six great system-allocated sects.”

Happy might regard the teacher of Kunlun Sect in contempt, but he had to admit that Kunlun Sect’s sword techniques had indeed reached transcendence.

When two people used Dual Rites Sword Technique, even the gods and demons would avoid them.

However, He Taichong and his junior brother went up against Zhang Wuji, who had just reached the tenth realm of Nine Yang Divine Skill, broken through dozens of gateways in his body, and inherited Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

Boom!

The sword shadows and sword qi that flew back and forth twisted.

When the duo realized what was going on, they could no longer control their longswords. Their sword qi and sword glares formed a manmade tornado. As Zhang Wuji let out a clear shout, their attack was reflected back into their bodies because of Heaven and Earth Great Shift. The teacher of Kunlun Sect was defeated by a nameless nobody who went by Ceng A’niu [1].

The six great system-allocated sects were shocked!

After the battle, Zhang Wuji returned behind White-browed Eagle King and helped him treat his wounds.

In just a moment, White-browed Eagle King opened his eyes. “Thank you, boy.”

Upon hearing that the man’s strength had returned through his voice, Zhang Wuji removed his palm and stopped executing his skills. He looked at his grandfather’s back with an admiring gaze and did not say anything for a long time.

“Dream Clouds and Blood Robes are finally here.”

At that moment, Momo noticed that quite a number of people had rushed out of the sea of fire and arrived at the front row of the camp belonging to the six great system-allocated sects. However, Dream Clouds and the others were at Mount Hua Sect, and they were a distance away from Happy.

The group was slightly puzzled by what was happening before their eyes.

They did not know who was the woman in black standing behind the battlefield. They just paid attention to the development and progress of the situation in the middle.

Happy cast a glance in the direction of Mount Hua Sect before looking away.

Once White-browed Eagle King returned to full health, he immediately issued a challenge to He Taichong, the teacher of Kunlun Sect!

Song Yuanqiao said that everyone in Ming Cult ranked beneath Yang Xiao had lost and that Ming Cult should keep their promise, and White-browed Eagle King immediately retorted. “But I have not lost, not once! Could it be that the six great sects want to go against their promise? Do you intend to fight against us with numbers and destroy Ming Cult?!”

He spoke impassionately, and he sounded righteous as well as awe-inspiring.

With one sentence, he forced the six great system-allocated sects who walked down the path of righteousness to go up against him once more.

The five elders of Kongtong Sect were not pleased with Shaolin Temple’s stubborn manner of doing things. Five of them went up against Eagle King in one go, but Zhang Wuji was the one who fought again. After exchanging dozens of blows, he defeated all five elders of Kongtong Sect in one go!

Kongtong Sect lost.

Zhou Zhiruo revealed a knowing smile while in the crowd.

Happy was stunned when he saw that, but he felt at ease once he came to a realization: a few days ago, Zhang Wuji saved Wu Jingcao, who was one of the elites from Sharp Gold Banner, and met Emei Sect. Zhou Zhiruo should already know about Zhang Wuji’s true identity.

Once the five elders from Kongtong Sect lost, the disciples from the six great system-allocated sects dared not interrupt the fight and go up against Zhang Wuji.

Master Kongwen, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, went up!

His Dragon Claw was destroyed before Heaven and Earth Shift, and he was also defeated by Zhang Wuji who understood Dragon Claw on the spot. Master Kongwen could only retreat in dejectedness.

The six great system-allocated sects were shocked!

When even the abbot had lost to Zhang Wuji, who else could hope to be his opponent from the six sects?

When the tables were about to be turned, the teacher from Mount Hua Sect, Xian Yutong, went into the battlefield.

An idea took shape in Happy’s mind at that moment. ‘I have a chance now!’

When Xian Yutong went into the battlefield, he executed Death by Noon Needle at the acupressure point at the center of his sternum. Then, he began to laugh madly.

If someone had one of their vital acupressure points struck with Death by Noon Needle, they would not be able to live past six hours!

Dream Clouds reacted the fastest at that moment. She called out a word of warning ahead of the others. “Teacher Xian, be careful! That boy only has a superficial wound, he’s fine!”

“Nonsense.”

To Dream Clouds’ surprise, however, Xian Yutong was too confident in himself. When he heard it being said that he had missed, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Zhang Wuji seized the chance to execute Heaven and Earth Great Shift, and Death by Noon Needle was forced out violently. It struck Xian Yutong as quickly as lightning, and his face turned pale in an instant. He coughed up blood nonstop.

“It’s a pity that the people from Class One Hall stole our chance.” Momo’s face was full of regret.

At that moment, any diversion from the main plot might be a hidden quest which would allow them to gain the favor of the teachers from the six great system-allocated sects.

Happy only cast a glance at Xian Yutong who was injured on the ground before smiling. “It’s fine. As long as the plot doesn’t change, the player won’t have any reward. Class One Hall underestimate this quest if they think that they can change things with one sentence.”

“What do you mean?” Ancient Wind’s eyes lit up.

Happy lowered his voice. “If they personally came out to protect Xian Yutong from his disaster, they might have ended up highly valued by Xian Yutong, but since they only spoke, they did not change the end result, and they won’t get any reward. The system isn’t so retarded as to reward players for speaking ahead of others and changing things just like that.”

Momo and Ancient Wind looked in Dream Clouds’ direction. As expected, they saw that Blood Robes’ expression was not very pleasant, and realization dawned on their faces.

However, saving Xian Yutong from Zhang Wuji’s hands was too risky. Neither Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds nor Blood Robes would want to do something like that.

Once Mount Hua Sect lost, only Wudang Sect and Emei Sect were left!

“It’s Emei Sect’s turn.”

Happy exchanged a glance with Momo and Ancient Wind.

Even though the six great system-allocated sects had been unreasonable in the novel, they had been provoked by Cheng Kun, and they could be considered as one of the victims. Even if the three of them regarded Emei Sect’s Mistress Annihilation with contempt, since they chose Emei Sect, it meant that they stood by her side and had to protect her and Emei Sect’s reputation.

“If that’s the case, I will come forth in place of Emei Sect!”

Since Song Yuanqiao of Wudang Sect had forced their hand, Mistress Annihilation walked out from the six great system-allocated sects, and everyone’s gazes instantly gathered on the Heavenly Sword in her hands.

But unfortunately, even if Emei Sect’s Mistress Annihilation had outstanding abilities and a divine weapon that made it difficult for anyone to affect her with sword force, it was a pity that she still could not stand up against Zhang Wuji.

They exchanged less than one hundred blows before with one palm strike through the air Zhang Wuji delivered a blow so powerful that Mistress Annihilation’s divine weapon fell out of her hands.

Emei Sect’s Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, and Zhou Zhiruo’s expressions changed drastically. They jumped up at the same time with the goal to take hold of the treasure that protected Emei Sect—Heavenly Sword!

However, someone else had already charged out of Emei Sect’s camp before them.

Zhang Wuji’s momentum did not stop.

When he saw that four people had charged out of Emei Sect, he executed extraordinary kick techniques and kicked Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi back to Emei Sect’s camp first. Because of it, Happy caught Mistress Annihilation and managed to prevent her from appearing like a pathetic mess once she crashed into the ground. Then, he tapped against the ground and jumped into the air like a flash of light to save the two girls.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Happy.”

“Thank you, Sir Happy.”

Even though he did not manage to get Heavenly Sword, he left behind a good impression in Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi’s hearts.

Happy’s expression did not change. He turned around and looked up at the sky. Zhang Wuji had recognized Zhou Zhiruo when she held Heavenly Sword, and he did indeed show mercy. There was even a reminiscing and excited expression on his face.

Dream Clouds and Blood Robes scowled in the crowd. They did not expect that they would not be able to save Mount Hua Sect’s Xian Yutong, but Happy would get to successfully insert himself into the plot.

However, he might not gain any benefits if he went toe-to-toe with Zhang Wuji.
