Sword Among Us chapter 1163 - black sandstorm | English Novels Online

Happy did not have Osaya state that he was the one who made the decisions before the six elites in the dao of heaven. After he sent a private message to her, he quietly sat down with Osaya.

Osaya had witnessed Happy’s strength before, and she also understood why Happy had to keep a low profile before the elites in the dao of heaven. She showed no sign of it and walked leisurely until she arrived between the mysterious old man and Dongfang Bubai. However, when she saw the pelts or felts the other elites in the dao of heaven had and saw their empty patch, she frowned slightly.

The others saw this, but they said nothing about it.

Happy naturally noticed this, and he cast a glance at Thousand-faced Human Fox.

He shuddered and sent him a private message.

“Master, based on our promise, during the period of our agreement, I just need to be your follower. You… You can’t make me bring out my own stuff…”

Happy glared at him in slight annoyance. He had already experienced Thousand-faced Human Fox use this method on him before. Whenever he had something to ask of the thief, he would use this as his reason before he asked for a trade. He would say that he had a suitable item, but it was incredibly valuable. All of them were also items that came from important places, and they were incredibly pricey.

But after he was tricked once, Happy never paid a single silver to Thousand-faced Human Fox again!

“I don’t care whether you steal or snatch it. Get something proper over. Now. Immediately.” Happy discreetly sent a private message over. He refused to believe that Thousand-faced Human Fox would not be able to get something over, especially since he was one of the four Divine Thieves.

Thousand-faced Human Fox looked like a goose with its feathers plucked. When he heard his master’s orders, the little plan he had concocted rather smugly was instantly shattered. His face fell, and he stared at Happy with a pained expression.

“Here…?”

“I don’t mind if you go and ‘take’ the pelt from under Bi Xuan’s butt.” Happy ignored the pitiful look on Thousand-faced Human Fox’s face. It was obvious he was pretending.

Once he heard this, Thousand-faced Human Fox could only admit to his face.

He conscientiously bowed and moved away. Then, in less than one breath, he ran back as swift as the wind with a white tiger’s pelt. He placed it on the ground.

Once he was done, he had his hands fall to the side and acted as their guard by the side.

“Not bad.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Happy’s face.

Thousand-faced Human Fox had an anguished look on his face. He said nothing.

Rapid footsteps rose from behind them. Then, some people ran up toward them from the distance. It seemed like there were a lot of them.

Happy did not even need to turn his head to know that Thousand-faced Human Fox had been discovered when he snatched someone else’s time, but since these people’s lightness skill and Thousand-faced Human Fox’s lightness skill were on a different level, they were soon cast far behind the thief. Thousand-faced Human Fox had already spread the pelt on the ground in broad daylight, and it was only then that they managed to arrive.

Happy found himself a little speechless, honestly.

The group of Myth Realm elites were led by two elites at the peak of Myth Realm. They chased after Thousand-faced Human Fox aggressively until they arrived near the area. Then, their pupils shrank.

They saw the person who stole their pelt standing by the side conscientiously and in a solemn manner. The high-grade white tiger pelt that was worth ten thousand taels of gold was already under a West Region woman with an extraordinarily enchanting air. The two people in the lead stopped at the same time and raised their hands to stop their companions behind them.

“Sect masters!”

“It’s that old man!”

“Damn it, he stole our pelt while we were not paying attention, and he—”

The Myth Realm elites behind them were at the middle stage or beginning stage of the qi realm. They were already boiling with anger, and when they saw the perpetrator, the desire to draw their weapons and attack him was really strong in them.

“Quiet!”

The two sect masters were not people who had no sense of judgment. When they saw that a woman was sitting on their pelt and she was treated at the same level as six elites in the dao of heaven, they quickly shouted at the people behind them to stop.

“We’re leaving!”

Even though the six elites in the dao of heaven occupied one side, and if they were to attack, they would not touch the other elites, with their current situation, it was clearly unwise for them to become enemies with those at the dao of heaven at all.

These two people did not continue to pursue the matter of the white tiger pelt. With their people in tow, they left like a receding tide.

The elites in the dao of heaven and their followers had been ready to watch a show, and at that moment, they did not know whether they wanted to laugh or cry because of the show the old man put up.

This was a follower of an elite in the dao of heaven, but he actually stole something from those in Myth Realm, and after he did it, he was not embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he used their might to intimidate the people who chased after him.

The group snickered or smiled while shaking their heads. Soon, everything returned to normal.

This empty patch of land near the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn soon regained its peace and quiet. Everyone’s gaze was gradually attracted by the phenomenon in the sky.

The night sky was clear, but at that moment, it seemed like a faint layer of fog had settled on it. The moon slowly started to turn dim.

“It’s here.”

No one knew who said this.

A woman who had been serving Dongfang Bubai became slightly distracted because she was paying attention to the sky. When a cold huff traveled into her ears, she instantly turned pale, because she knew she committed a huge mistake. In her panic, she kowtowed before Dongfang Bubai.

“Cult master, please spare me!”

Blood poured out of her fair forehead because of her knocking her head against the ground as she kowtowed before Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai’s expression turned slightly gentle.

Just when the woman thought that her cult master was about to spare her, a cold voice tumbled out of Dongfang Bubai’s lips, who remained in a lackadaisical pose.

“You can’t even do something so simple, so what’s the point in me keeping you around?”

Right after he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai slowly raised his arm, and a powerful qi flow pushed the absent-minded servant dozens of feet away.

“Ah!” The servant was so frightened that her face turned completely pale. “Cult master!”

Even though she was in the later stage of Myth Realm, before Dongfang Bubai, she did not dare to think about fighting back or running away.

Happy saw this clearly by the side. He frowned slightly, but did not interfere. He just watched Dongfang Bubai’s actions without batting an eyelid.

With his spirit sense, he could see the trajectory in which Dongfang Bubai attacked.

He used three embroidery needles to attack.

Happy focused and had his spirit sense spread out fully, but he could not lock down on Dongfang Bubai’s attack trajectory completely. At the moment the three embroidery needles left his hand, they vanished.

Fortunately, Happy knew who Dongfang Bubai’s target was. His spirit sense was trained on the pitiful servant, and he quickly noticed three silver threads being dragged out in the air.

At the moment the silver threads appeared, Happy was shocked once more.

‘What’s going on?!’

When he attacked just now, he had clearly used no threads.

When Dongfang Bubai reached the peak of Myth Realm, Happy remembered that when he attacked, he would still need to string his needles, but just now, he did not string the needles at all.

At that moment, Dongfang Bubai touched his middle fingers with his thumbs under his bright red sleeves.

Shick!

The three embroidery needles had three silver threads trailing behind them in the air. At lightning speed, they changed their trajectory, and in a baffling manner, they wrapped around the servant from three different directions.

Whoosh!

The servant’s cries came to an abrupt halt under the moon.

The silver threads looked as if they had moved through her graceful figure, and in an instant, she was divided into more than ten parts. They fell on the sand in the desert.

Even though the people in the area were already used to blood and death, when they saw how easily this woman in her prime and who also happened to be strong was brutally cut apart, many people could not help but scowl and turn their eyes away. They found the sight unbearable.

Happy saw everything clearly with his spirit sense.

Even though he did not get a clear grasp during the process, he managed to see the moment she was dismembered, and he felt his stomach churn in a very unpleasant manner.

He frowned a little and circulated his qi cultivation technique to suppress the nausea in him.

Once the woman’s body parts fell on the sand, it was soon buried under sand.

“How could she make a fuss over nothing for something so small? You have to bear in mind what happened to her.” Dongfang Bubai looked as if he just did something insignificant. He cast a faint glance at the servants beside him and warned them in a coquettish manner.

They nodded and voiced their obedience, and they did not dare to have their movements turn stiff or jerky. Clearly, they had seen such a thing happen far too many times.

The Myth Realm elites in the area might be powerful leaders in their own regions, when they saw this, they noticed how brutal Dongfang Bubai was, and none of them dared to say anything.

However, Happy became slightly wary of Dongfang Bubai, and he was now on guard against him.

‘Those are not threads… He turned his qi into threads, and he can control them from the distance. He can also turn them into an attack. By the looks of it, Dongfang Bubai’s understanding towar Sunflower Manual has improved once more.’

As time passed, the moonlight grew dimmer.

The desert was enveloped in darkness once more. The only source of light near the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn were the bonfires.

However, the bonfires did not last for a long time.

The sand and dust that filled the air seemed to be descending on them with increasing ferocity. Wind howled, and sand roared. The bonfires further away from the ruins were quickly extinguished, and more bonfires closer to the ruins were extinguished as time passed.

The bonfires near the elites in the dao of heaven were the only ones that remained burning. The other bonfires were all snuffed out by the sandstorm.

Furious shouts and cries of surprise rose, and the tents were rooted from the spot.

More people descended into panic.

“Let’s go!”

“We have to leave this place, hurry!”

“It’s a black sandstorm!”

“Go to Dragon Gate Inn to avoid the sandstorm!”

The passersby who had gathered near the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn sensed the ferocity and terrifying might of the black sandstorm, and they could no longer care about the legend of the desert palace revealing itself when the black sandstorm arrived. All of them prioritized their lives, and at the fastest speed possible, they rushed to Jin Xiangyu’s Dragon Gate Inn.

Only the elites in the dao of heaven and their followers did not move from the ruins. Even when they faced the howling sandstorm, they did not bat their eyelids. They just remained in the desert.

“Those people didn’t leave…”

“What should we do?!”

The disorderly camp was soon buried under sand. Wu Kuo and his two elites from Wind Assault Tower were in a pathetic state as they tried to protect themselves in the howling wind so that they would not be hit by the rampaging tents. The situation was becoming worse, even speaking was a chore now, because if they were careless, they would have their mouths filled with sand.

“I—Ack—Let’s go!”

“Even the sect masters at the peak of Myth Realm left. If we continue staying here, we’ll definitely die!”

Whoosh!

The sandstorm rapidly became stronger. When a tent was rooted along with all the logs used to secure it in place in the sand and went charging at Wu Kuo and his party at an astonishing momentum, he could only grit his teeth and issue the order to retreat.

“Let’s go!”

Even though he knew that the elites in the dao of heaven definitely had their reasons for staying, Wu Kuo and his party did not have the right to stay. In fact, if they were even the slightest bit slower in leaving, they would be devoured by the sandstorm.

The seven elites in the dao of heaven saw the chaos near the ruins.

However, the group, including Happy, did not pay much attention to that. They just kept their eyes fixed on the sandstorm swallowing up the ruins.

Layers of yellow sand were thrown into the air. The ruins that were buried under the sand was gradually revealed. They saw solid ground.

‘It’s here.’

Happy narrowed his eyes a little. From the distance, he saw a chain that was as thick as a toddler’s arm stretching out of the sand.
