Sword Among Us Chapter 448 – Shaolin’s Nine Yang Skill VS Profound Abyss Divine Palm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Zhangke’s gaze was fierce. Even though he noticed that the old Shaolin monk seemed to be strange and had unfathomable strength, but he did not change his domineering mannerisms.

When he heard the monk’s words, he cackled darkly. “Defeat me? Haha! Pay attention to your words and don’t say something so unrealistic, got it?!”

As he spoke, his qi surged up, and his robes fluttered with no wind. Within a short period of time, cold wind blew in a circular area around him, and it chilled the Yuan Dynasty soldiers so much that they retreated.

The old monk’s robes fluttered, but he was not forced to take even half a step back. A barely visible red ripple could be seen around him as Lu Zhangke became serious.

“Shaolin’s Nine Yang Skill.” Lu Zhangke recognized it straight away.

It was a technique that could suppress his Freezing Palm. However, Profound Abyss Divine Palm was not any ordinary freezing palm technique.

He smiled coldly.

“Keep watch over those nuns,” he ordered the Yuan Dynasty soldiers around him before pushing forward. Two cold waves of qi immediately rushed toward the old monk who had his palms pressed together.

The old monk might have withstood Lu Zhangke’s qi force through the air, but he did not have the courage to exchange palm strikes with Lu Zhangke. He drew a circle with one hand, and a vast amount of qi instantly pushed the palm wind from Lu Zhangke to the side. The powerful qi pushed a group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers around so much that they could not stand straight!

The next moment, Hui Xin suddenly moved. She appeared like a phantom among the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. She struck with her palms, and the Yuan Dynasty soldiers around her crashed into those behind them like cannonballs.

“Go!”

Once Hui Xin saved her two young disciples, she gave them an order. Then, with Flowing Clouds Sleeve, she pushed away a group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers and made them tumble back like waves. They fell on the ground in a scattered pile of limbs.

“Damn it, you old nun, so you actually have such abilities?”

When Lu Zhangke saw that Hui Xin was actually a powerful martial artist as well, he shouted in anger.

The next moment, a fire arrow shot into the sky!

“Ding!”

When Happy saw the NPCs engaging in a chaotic battle, no matter how slow-witted he was, he knew that he had triggered an unknown main quest. When the system notification rose, he instantly paid attention to it, not daring to miss even a single word.

“Noticed Lu Zhangke leading Yuan Dynasty soldiers to encircle Emei Sect disciples. Since you have the jade ring symbolizing Emei Sect’s sect teacher, you are duty bound to help Leader Hui Xin. Escort the nuns of Intelligent Heart Temple to gather with Emei Sect disciples and the disciples of the six great sects!

“If you fail in your mission, you will lose the trust of the Emei Sect disciples. Your quest in aiding the six great sects will come to an end as well!”

When the system was halfway through its notification, Happy could already tell just how important and compulsory the quest was from the words “duty bound”. Almost at the same moment as the fire arrow shot into the sky and exploded, he charged out of the forest at an astonishing speed to enter the group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers.

“Young Swordsman Happy!” Hui Xin was busy stalling for time for her disciples, but there were still many Yuan Dynasty soldiers who jumped inside from the sides of the temple, and she was surrounded by trouble. When she saw Happy arrive, a hint of surprised delight appeared on her face. “You came at the perfect time! Please help me take care of my disciples, Young Swordsman Happy! Hurry!”

While listening to her words, Happy rammed into the Jin Dynasty crowd with a slash and defeated a whole group of people. He then jumped into the air, rushed straight into the temple without stopping for a moment, and hurried into the training field.

“Young Swordsman Happy…”

A group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers chased after a few nuns like fierce fiends. The air around them was incredibly murderous.

Happy had stayed in Intelligent Heart Temple for more than twenty days, so he had a certain degree of affection toward everything within it. When he saw a group of frenzied Yuan Dynasty soldiers rushing into the temple to commit crimes and capture the nuns, a chilling killing intent swiftly covered his face.

He caught up to them like a phantom.

Before the Yuan Dynasty soldiers could register what happened, they noticed that another person had appeared before them. An astonishing force came charging at them.

Bang! Bang, bang…

The dozens of Yuan Dynasty soldiers fell on the ground like rolling gourds when Happy spread open his arms and knocked them over while they were caught off guard.

Clang!

Before the Yuan Dynasty soldiers could get up, a silver sword force came slicing at their faces. Then, the quiet land of Buddha was dyed red in blood.

“Young Swordsman Happy…”

“Everyone, come over here, quickly! Young Swordsman Happy is here to save us.”

The young nuns were not strong, but at that moment, they lifted their longswords and surrounded Happy. There was panic and alarm on their faces.

“Mistress, hurry up and retreat! Yuan Dynasty soldiers saw the signal Lu Zhangke fired, and they’ll soon be here. At that time, even if we want to leave, we won’t be able to!”

Happy killed a person with each slash, easily taking care of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers who rushed into the temple, before returning to Hui Xin, who was fighting against the crowd.

When she heard his words, Hui Xin anxiously looked at the old Shaolin monk who was fighting against Lu Zhangke.

“Master!”

The two men had fought until they created an empty area. Half of the grass nearby had been frozen and crushed, while the other half looked as if it had been roasted under high heat. The stems were all charred.

Cold and hot waves of qi cycled about the place. Occasionally, they released an explosive wave of hot or cold air that could make a person become sick. It created an incredibly magnificent scene.

The old Shaolin monk also noticed that it was not realistic that he could defeat Lu Zhangke within a short period of time. He frowned and while fighting against Lu Zhangke, he said loudly and clearly, “Mistress, please go on ahead and leave, I will follow you soon.”

Boom!

Hui Xin no longer hesitated. With a swing of her arm, she forced back a large group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers!

She flew like a large bird and jumped into the temple!

“Let’s go!”

The quest did not mention the mysterious old Shaolin monk, and Happy could not take care of too many things at once. Once Hui Xin came over, he would have her take the nuns and leave while serving as a rearguard.

There was an underground tunnel in Intelligent Heart Temple that led to sixth-tenths of a mile away from the temple. Happy followed Hui Xin into the underground tunnel, and she activated the mechanism without hesitation. A large amount of rolling stones fell down with a bang and blocked the tunnel to completely destroy all possibilities of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers catching up to them.

They did not stop moving until they ran into the disciples from the six great system-allocated sects near a waterfall in a forest outside the city. Those disciples had been waiting for a long time there, and among them were Wudang Sect’s Great Swordsman Song Yuanqiao.

Each sect had a few elites guarding them. However, only Great Swordsman Song had reached Inaction Realm.

“Young Swordsman Happy.”

“It’s you, Leader Hui Xin of Intelligent Heart Temple.”

Song Yuanqiao and a group of Emei Sect disciples took the initiative to go up to them.

“Mistress, how are you, are you alright? We heard that those Yuan Dynasty soldiers surrounded your temple, and Shaolin Temple’s Master Huan Hui volunteered to fight. He said that he would go over and attract their attention for you. Why isn’t he here?”

“I see, so it’s Master Huan Hui!”

Hui Xin told them of what had happened, and Song Yuanqiao as well as the others instantly released a breath of relief.

“Master Yuan Hui has Shaolin Temple’s Nine Yang Skill with him. He will have no problems protecting himself. He’ll come back soon. Young Swordsman Happy, since you’re already back, why don’t we discuss our plan to invade Eternal Peace Temple and save the elites from the six sects?”

When Happy heard Song Yuanqiao’s suggestion, he shuddered and looked up to survey the area in disbelief. It was only at that moment that he noticed that aside from Wudang Sect and Emei Sect’s elites, there were also Shaolin Temple, Mount Hau Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Kongtong Sect’s people. Among them were more than thirty Moksha Realm elites with different attires and extraordinary presences! There were also nearly one thousand Life and Death Realm disciples!

Even though Master Yuan Hui and Song Yuanqiao were the only Inaction Realm fighters, the current lineup was already incredibly magnificent. Even if they tried to fight against Eternal Peace Temple head-on, they could still make the smart and ruthless Zhao Min nervous.

‘This is… Has the system decided to be kind and let the six sects organize a rescue mission before Zhang Wuji takes action?’

When Happy thought of that, he quickly forced down the excitement in his heart and sucked in a deep breath. His mind started to work at light speed!

“Ding!”

The clear sound of the system’s notification rang one time.
