Sword Among Us Chapter 506 – Kill in Two Moves!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though Happy knew that trying to fuse two ultimate techniques that might conflict at that moment was not the best idea, his heart, which had been touched by Mad Monk and Zhou Yu, was incredibly determined.

When the first fist-generated wind charged through the air, he stirred up the dragon roar that caused Blood Robes to tremble outside the pavilion!

“ROAR!”

The dragon roar that was unique to Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, the dragon-shaped vortex that was steady and domineering, and a momentum that was supreme and contained an indomitable spirit caused Zhou Yu to bring forth the profound secret within Yang Clan’s Spear Technique straightaway.

Whoosh!

It was like a silver lightning bolt had sliced through the air. His silver spear turned into a thunderbolt that shot forward from behind Zhou Yu. With a momentum that could destroy everything with ease, it completely vanquished the dragon-shaped vortex that was attached to the fist-generated wind.

Zhou Yu’s momentum did not decrease then, and he sent the spear thrusting toward Happy like lightning.

When he faced Happy charging toward him, Zhou Yu’s eyes remained clear. In fact, he had already prepared a move for Happy when he executed the evasive ultimate technique Petite Dragon, but what surprised him was that Happy did not dodge. Instead, he extended his arm and risked the danger of his arm being torn to shreds to seize the airborne silver lightning without any intention to turn back.

Happy was, of course, not taking a risk.

He seized the moment Yang Clan’s Spear Technique broke the dragon-shaped vortex and paused for a moment. He had entered an incredibly mysterious state, and with his eyes shut, he struck the silver spear at an even more astonishing speed.

Dragon Capture!

Zhou Yu’s eyes went wide, and he immediately noticed that the energy in his silver spear had instantly been emptied. Even his arm, which held the weapon tightly, felt as if it had been struck by lightning. He shuddered violently, and his weapon nearly fell from his hands.

Happy did not stop moving forward. He had not finished executing Dragon Capture just yet.

He arrived as quickly as the wind in front of Zhou Yu.

Boom!

Warning bells rang in Zhou Yu’s head, and he reacted very quickly! The effect of Dragon Capture came and went quickly, and at the instant he regained control, a chaotic wave of true qi that served as body fortification flowed out of his body.

After all, Happy was not One Emperor and did not have a sharp and astonishing sword technique that could kill. Even though the moves of his ultimate technique were so profound that the depths of its profundity could not be measured, it had no damage, and even if it had some, it could not instantly destroy his body fortification.

However, the next instant, Happy’s actions made Zhou Yu feel as cold water had been poured all over his head or that he had fallen into an ice cave.

Almost at the moment Zhou Yu activated his body fortification, Happy’s gloves that shone with an intimidating and golden light easily passed through it and seized his throat.

“STOP!”

Zhou Yu was not the only one who was terrified. Dream Clouds and the others outside the pavilion let out surprised shouts because they also noticed just how dangerous was Happy’s unexpected attack.

The other Class One Hall members could not discern things so quickly. They only saw the duo exchange their first attack with an astonishing momentum, and Zhou Yu shuddered repeatedly before he was seized by Happy. The sharp Golden Gloves were fixed tightly around his throat, but no one could understand what had happened and how Zhou Yu could have allowed his vital spot to be seized so easily.

Even Zhou Yu himself had an expression of disbelief. His eyes were full of dispiritedness, and he stood on the spot with a strickent look. He seemed to have forgotten how to fight back.

Happy’s voice, which reached his ears, was calm. “Now, do you understand why One Emperor set up a time for us to fight?”

Zhou Yu’s gaze focused, and his body tensed up. He flung his silver spear, and an astonishing momentum instantly shot out from his body! This sudden threat shocked Happy, and without any hesitation, he exerted strength with his fingers and performed a hook!

Whoosh!

The people from Class One Hall could not save Zhou Yu in time. They could only watch as blood gushed out of his throat when Happy curled his fingers in a casual manner and threw him away. His body tumbled a few times in the air because of a great inertia before he finally fell out of the pavilion listlessly.

Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, and Tang Feng had imagined the duo exchanging multiple blows, so they did not expect that Happy would be able to kill Zhou Yu, the second ranked player on Dragon Rank, with such ease!

One Emperor used three moves to kill Zhou Yu, and how many moves did Happy use?

They had just started the fight, and if they counted it carefully, Happy had only used a few moves. No matter how swift and straightforward One Emperor had been in his attacks, he had still needed a similar number of moves.

The trio stood thirty-two feet away from the pavilion while they stared at Zhou Yu’s rapidly cooling corpse. Their gazes when they looked at Happy were filled with terror. If they had been the ones who fought against him just then, could they have possibly handled the situation better than Zhou Yu?

They could not be certain!

Blood Robes and Tang Feng had fought against Happy before. At that moment, when they saw how fast and straightforward Happy had become, they felt chills crawl down their spines.

Dream Clouds had never fought against Happy before, but at that moment, a wary look could be easily detected in her eyes!

When Zhou Yu mentioned One Emperor to her and provided her the battle replay of his fight against him, Dream Clouds had noticed the difference between her and a powerful player who truly belonged at the top. She also knew just what One Emperor’s status would become in the game in the future. In fact, she even tried to draw One Emperor into Class One Hall with everything she had to help her fight against Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan.

At that time, Dream Clouds had possessed complete confidence in One Emperor.

However, right when her dream of hiring One Emperor was destroyed, Happy decided to pour a basin of cold water over her head! The two men completely destroyed her ambitious dreams of dominating World of Martial Arts.

As long as Happy was around, unless Class One Hall could get someone of One Emperor’s level to fight against Mu Clan, it was impossible for them to become the leader of World of Martial Arts.

*****

When Happy killed Zhou Yu, One Emperor was in a river hundreds of miles away. He was moving around a pile of corpses which belonged to barbarians dressed in pelts and were armed with throwing axes.

He stopped upon receiving a messenger pigeon. He cast its message a glance, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He then immediately looked at Dragon Rank, which was in World of Martial Arts Secret News Log.

“Second on Dragon Rank… Happy, you did well. Zhou Yu is indeed not your opponent. You’re pretty interesting.” One Emperor’s expression returned to one of indifference, and he put away his copy of World of Martial Arts Secret News Log with a sigh. “There’s still five more months.”

At the moment he finished speaking, he raised his head, and his eyes shone coldly. He moved like a sharp sword and shot into a black forest with an aggressive momentum.

*****

Silence reigned outside the pavilion.

Zhou Yu had died. The people from Class One Hall did not expect this, and they did not know how they should continue. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and even Dream Clouds seemed to have lost her ability to control the proceedings.

Then, Happy spoke. His voice was the only sound left in the area. He spoke in a tone that allowed no arguments, and his voice echoed in the air outside the pavilion.

“From today onwards, all Class One Hall branches will leave the Western Border that is located near Yin Mountains, and Yin Mountains will serve as the border. Also, Class One Hall will leave Hubei. Hubei will fully belong to Mu Clan in the future. If you do not want me to visit Class One Hall’s headquarters, it would be best that you do this within twenty-four hours.”

Dream Clouds said nothing, but her face was red with rage.

If the battle at Beijing had dealt a heavy slap to Class One Hall’s face when Barren Murderer and nearly one thousand of their brothers died, Happy’s current act of listing out his terms was basically him cutting into Class One Hall’s flesh and blood.

He wanted all of Hubei, including Western Border, which was a huge territory.

But did Dream Clouds have any way to fight against Happy? If she took action, they might all die, and she would lose not just Hubei… but all of the area to the north of Changjiang!
