Sword Among Us Chapter 428 – Injure a Person in Inaction Realm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The spot where Happy had been moments before was struck by an extremely tough and fierce power, which created a huge pit. The broken tower instantly turned into debris, and it flew everywhere like hidden weapons.

The debris contained the power left behind by the strike and rammed into Happy’s Golden Bell Cocoon like raindrops. The golden bell became much dimmer because of the barrage of attacks, which actually contained quite a lot of force.

When Happy thought of what would have happened if that attack had hit him, he could not help but feel cold sweat break out on his body.

He stared at the man who walked out from the black shadow above the wall, and he was unable to stop himself from sucking in a deep breath. A solemn expression that was never seen before on him showed up.

A’san!

The person who came over was one of the three strongest servants under Zhao Min. He was a great martial artist who learned orthodox Buddhist martial arts. His power was unfathomable, and his greatest skill was the ultimate technique—Vajra Prajñā Palm.

“You actually managed to receive two of my strikes and not die? Interesting.”

When A’san walked out of the shadows, his face was normal, but his body was incredibly big and built. It was a clear sign that his external martial arts had reached the peak, and slight changes had appeared in his body.

A’san walked very slowly.

Every time his foot stepped on the ground, the ground sank in, and he left behind a deep pit. It was as if there was a powerful suction force spreading out of his body!

Thudthudthudthudthudthud…

Happy’s heart raced.

He held his breath, feeling danger as if he had been targeted by some dangerous object and might be killed at any moment. He focused and quickly swallowed three Dew Pills while he stared at A’san walking toward him slowly. The man’s gaze was bright and aggressive while he stared at Happy, who was several feet away from him. He was like a hunter staring at an object in a cage: he was relaxed because he knew his prey could not escape.

Zhou Yu, Heaven Does Not Forget, and Lonesome Wind recognized A’san at the same time, and their expressions instantly turned incredibly sour!

A’san’s abilities were even above those of the Xuanming Elders!

The Moksha Realm NPCs they ran into before simply could not compare to A’san.

In truth, when they saw A’san, their first reaction was to run!

But there was Ku Toutuo, who served as a Door God to block their escape, and they could not find themselves harboring the thought of challenging him to escape.

After all, Ku Toutuo was a strong fighter who was equal to Yang Xiao, the Bright Right Messenger of Ming Cult. His qi realm would not be that much inferior compared to A’san’s, and he was a true Inaction Realm martial artist!

He might not be a matchless fighter, but he was just one step away from being one.

Heaven Does Not Forget and Lonesome Wind would rather fight against Yuan Dynasty soldiers instead of facing Ku Toutuo.

Zhou Yu was the second strongest on the Dragon Rank and a member of Ming Cult. He was not afraid that he would not be able to leave. However, when he saw that Happy had been targeted by A’san, for some strange reason, he came to a halt and did not leave.

“Kill them!”

“Don’t let them escape!”

“Surround them!”

The trio fought fiercely against a group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers near the stone tower.

The sounds of weapons clashing could be heard everywhere, and it lingered in the ears.

However, no Yuan Dynasty soldier came to attack Happy.

To them, the person who was targeted by Princess Zhao Min’s personal attendant was the same as a dead man.

One step, two steps…

A’san slowly walked toward Happy while looking down on him and acting like he controlled Happy’s survival.

Happy had his qi circulate through all of his tense body. He had his qi spread out of him as well, since he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. While he retreated, he made sure to retain a safe distance as he paid full attention to A’san. He did not dare to miss even a single action from this hunter.

As a martial artist who had just entered Life and Death Realm and had just surpassed life and death, the pressure he felt when he faced an Inaction Realm martial artist who had no desires and only sought for supreme power was much greater than when he faced a Moksha Realm martial artist while he was still in Mystical Realm.

The only thing that made Happy feel at ease was that among Zhao Min’s three servants, A’da’s sword skills were equal to that of Zhang Sanfeng, A’er’s qi was better than that of Zhang Wuji, while A’san had astonishing defenses because of his orthodox Buddhist mystical martial arts. His skills were at the peak, and he was also the strongest, but his qi was very low.

It was precisely because of this that Happy felt a bit lucky. He wanted to try and clear the quest the system had spontaneously given him when A’san appeared.

Whoosh!

A’san’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Almost at the same time, Happy took a step backward and his body was pierced by a fist shadow that appeared out of nowhere. A’san’s gaze focused. He ignored the afterimage Happy left behind and without any hesitation kicked forward.

Bang!

Happy’s moving trajectory was seen through by A’san, and he was struck by that kick.

But the contact point was incredibly cold!

Happy’s reaction was so fast that it was astonishing. He brought his Nation Protecting Divine Sword horizontally over his chest, and A’san’s fierce and swift kick that aimed to pierce Happy’s heart struck the weapon instead.

The great force threw Happy off his feet again. He crashed into a few stone towers before he stopped.

This time, A’san did not give Happy the chance to take medicine and catch his breath. He tapped against the ground and jumped high into the air. A fierce shadow kick tore through the air, and with an astonishing qi force, he sent his kick crashing into the pile of debris.

Thud!

This time, Happy was slightly slower. Right when his Golden Bell Cocoon rose from his body, he was kicked more than sixty-five feet away and crashed into a rather large stone tower. Then, he fell from it with his back down, and he felt as if all his bones had shattered.

“Cough…”

Happy coughed out blood and quickly swallowed three Dew Pills. He only took three breaths when he felt the ground tremble violently. His expression changed, and he tapped against the ground without hesitation. He shot out like an arrow and stepped on the side of the stone tower before he charged into the air.

Boom!

When he was around sixteen feet off the ground, he heard an astonishing boom from below him. A’san had crashed the place and shot out from below Happy. His head almost touched Happy’s own.

When A’san saw that there was no one on the ground, he flipped his palm and struck Happy’s head in an extraordinary manner.

Vajra Prajñā Palm!

The supremely tough and fierce force could even crush a stone tower with one palm strike, much less a single head.

At that critical moment, Happy’s body twisted strangely in the air, and he narrowly escaped A’san’s fatal strike.

However, the power of the force stirred up by the palm wind was enough to send Happy flying.

Bang!

He was injured again!

At that moment, no one noticed that the gaze of Ku Toutuo, who stood on the wall, gradually turned solemn while he watched Happy being chased by A’san and looking incredibly pathetic while he dodged all over the place.

Ku Toutuo knew A’san’s strength very well. After all, A’san was even stronger than he was.

But a teenager in Life and Death Realm had managed to dodge five strikes from A’san. He managed to dissolve the danger around him multiple times, which was enough strength for him to stand tall and proud in the world of martial artists.

The sixth move…

While Ku Toutuo looked at the golden and black figures, his eyes sparkled.

Suddenly though, he shuddered, and an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.

The mysterious young invader suddenly turned around as if he wanted to commit suicide, but with the protection of the stone tower, he avoided A’san’s palm strike in an incredibly unbelievable manner. Then, he seized A’san’s arm. The mysterious skill he used to do that seemed to be able to control A’san’s acupressure point, which resulted in A’san’s continuous and fierce attacks freezing for a moment.

Clang!

A dazzling and peerless sword force charged through the air.

It was right in front of A’san’s eyes, and since it was executed at such a close distance, the two sword forces went straight into his heart. A hint of shock and panic flashed in his eyes. His body trembled, and when he withstood the attack, his palm strike sent Happy flying far away.

“Thanks for sending me away!”

Happy used A’san’s power to break through the wall. With a few clean jumps, he then quickly disappeared into the darkness beyond the temple.

A’san’s body fortification was torn through by Happy’s thrust. He trembled, and a faint trail of blood appeared on his chest.

He was actually injured by a Life and Death Realm brat. There was disbelief on A’san’s face. He touched the trail of blood on his chest, and when he looked up again, there was a savage and violent killing intent on his face.
