Sword Among Us chapter 1194 - the owner of tiger soul has changed | English Novels Online

Boom!

The alliance master had to face the long-distance attacks from thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards on one hand, and on the other hand, he had to face the fierce attacks from two people in the dao of heaven. Even if he had Tiger Soul in hand, he was suppressed, and after a period of time, the qi protecting him finally shattered with a bang.

‘There’s my chance!’

Delight shone in Dongfang Bubai’s eyes. He flicked his wrists, and the embroidery needles that shot out endlessly were bound by a few threads that were barely noticeable by the naked eye.

Under the scorching sun, no one noticed what had changed in Dongfang Bubai’s attack, but it was not the case for the alliance master. It was impossible for him to not have noticed it.

However, at that moment, the alliance master was already in a terrible plight because of the arrow shower. An endless number of Barbed Canine Fang Arrows and Phoenix-tail Arrows shot out of the arrow shower and pierced through the alliance master’s qi and damaged the black armor that covered his body.

Since he was the alliance master, his equipment was definitely something extraordinary.

But being hurt continuously by demon vessels was still not a good feeling…

“Get lost, ants!”

Cracking sounds came from his black armor. After enduring a barrage of attacks from the arrows, the alliance master’s voice turned a little hoarse, and anger dyed his voice as well. Clearly, he was injured quite badly by the attacks just now.

At that moment, Dongfang Bubai’s embroidery needles arrived silently.

The alliance master was shocked!

“How despicable!”

“Haha! I’ve never claimed to be a noble person before, you know?!”

Dongfang Bubai giggled. His voice grew louder, and the alliance master felt as if a demonic voice had entered his ears.

In the beginning, the people in the area did not notice it.

But gradually, they felt as if the world had turned on its own head. The Embroidered Uniform Guards in the area began to feel as if they were losing control of their qi. They were caught off guard, and their qi as well as blood tumbled about in their bodies. Their chests became tight. They could not stand on their feet, and they did not even have the strength to draw their bows. Their expressions changed, and they cried out.

“Everyone, be careful!”

“Hold your breaths and concentrate your qi in your ears to block off that sound!”

“Dongfang Bubai, what are you doing?!” Tsao Suiyan demanded fiercely.

Dongfang Bubai had decided to betray them before they took down the alliance master. His actions caused Tsao Suiyan to feel uneasy.

“Hahahaha! Lord Commander, I hope you won’t blame me for this. I’ll help you take him down, but I’ll be taking Tiger Soul with me!”

The charming demonic laughter echoed in the air, and during that time, Dongfang Bubai moved like a blurry, red cloud that zipped about swiftly in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The flying needles intersected with each other. They avoided the slash the alliance master delivered. Threads shot out of his arms like snakes, and they bound the needles.

The alliance master was just about to use his qi to break free of the encirclement, but at the moment he touched the threads, his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, “These are Heavenly Silver Armor Threads!”

He looked as if he had been electrocuted. Then, even though he had been trying to break free, his movements changed. His grip over his weapon loosened.

He could not even care about pulling Tiger Soul back. He gave up on his weapon straight away, and he flew hundreds of feet backward. It was as if he had run into something incredibly troublesome.

And since he avoided the attack, Tiger Soul instantly turned into a masterless object!

Whoosh!

Dongfang Bubai coincidentally moved past the spot where the alliance master previously was.

Slap!

Tiger Soul landed in his hands firmly.

This scene naturally caused the alliance master and Tsao Suiyan to fly into a rage.

The alliance master was in a better condition.

Even though he lost Tiger Soul, he managed to preserve his arm. After all, Heavenly Silver Armor Threads were created by a beast called Heavenly Silver Armored Spider in West Region. It had the unique effect of being resistant to water and fire, and it was as sharp and sturdy as wild silk. But what was most terrifying about this was that there was poison contained in these spider threads. In the hands of an elite in the dao of heaven, when the slightest blood was drawn, it could kill. Even the alliance master had to avoid it.

Also, at the moment Tiger Soul left his hands, the alliance master finally snapped out of the effects from Tiger Soul. He now looked awake, and he hesitated. Because of it, he did not immediately pounce on Dongfang Bubai to fight for Tiger Soul.

Instead, it was Tsao Suiyan who looked as if someone stole his treasure. When he saw Tiger Soul falling into Dongfang Bubai’s hands, his expression turned red with rage.

He was angry.

With thousands of people, he was finally able to force the alliance master to the edge of losing and dying, but Dongfang Bubai had been ahead of him and seized Tiger Soul at this moment.

Thousands of his troops had also been injured because they were caught off guard. They had already lost the best chance to fight against Dongfang Bubai!

After Dongfang Bubai obtained Tiger Soul, he released a string of clear and enchanting laughter, and he shot out like an arrow. He charged from the air to the ground, and he was so fast that a normal person could not see him at all.

Even Tsao Suiyan found himself a little troubled when he had to face Dongfang Bubai, who possessed Needle Tide. His subordinates also had to divide their attention to protect their ears and heart meridian, so they could not use the method they deployed against the alliance master to fight against Dongfang Bubai.

Tsao Suiyan gritted his teeth and chased after Dongfang Bubai.

“Dongfang, give up on Tiger Soul, and I will spare you—

“Bastard!”

His response was a snow-white tiger-shaped saber glare.

Even though it was not as domineering and undefeatable as the attack from the alliance, Tiger Soul still had its power increased after the power of the dao of heaven was infused in it. Its power was not that much inferior to the attack. The saber will that came from the sharp edge left behind a deep trench that was thirteen to sixteen feet wide in the desert.

Boom!

Tsao Suiyan quickly flipped around to avoid it, and he managed to dodge the attack, albeit in a pathetic fashion.

Dongfang Bubai seized the chance to charge into the midst of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!

For a period of time, a tiger had entered a herd of sheep.

Tiger-shaped saber glares swept out endlessly.

“Ah!

Many Embroidered Uniform Guards did not even manage to see Dongfang Bubai’s face clearly, but they did see the people in front suddenly having their bodies cleaved in two.

Then, they would feel as if their bodies had flown.

When they looked down, they would find that their bodies still remained on the ground, but their heads were thrown into the air.

Screams rose and fell among the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards led by Tsao Suiyan were famous for being brutal and callous, but when Dongfang Bubai massacred them with the tiger-shaped saber glares, the razor-like attacks caused them to completely collapse.

They lost their morale.

The remaining Embroidered Uniform Guards had their faces turn pale. They began fleeing in every direction.

When they saw this, the players who stayed further away to watch the fight found themselves terrified.

“This is bad!”

Phantasmal Shadow’s expression turned darker.

Even though she had been pleased when she saw that the alliance master was suppressed, right now, the alliance master had still retained his strength, Dongfang Bubai had Tiger Soul in his hands, and Tsao Suiyan was in perfect condition, and he also had his Embroidered Uniform Guards protecting him. The three people in the dao of heaven did not end up being severely injured because of the fight, and they did not provide them with the chance to swoop in and snatch Tiger Soul.

Right now, the situation had become even more complicated!

What caused them to be even more gloomy was that they were positioned in the direction where Dongfang Bubai was attacking.

“Retreat! Hurry!”

When Phantasmal Shadow saw that the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not even have the strength to stand against Dongfang Bubai for even a moment and also found that their line of defense had crumbled, she finally snapped out of her daze.

“If we don’t retreat now, it’ll be too late! We have to split up!”

The group did not dare to linger around. They turned around and split into several groups to flee into different directions.

Phantasmal Shadow’s judgment was correct. If they continued to stay until Dongfang Bubai drew close, then it would be impossible for them to leave the desert safely, even if they wanted to leave by then.

Even so, Dongfang Bubai still caught up to the players once he massacred a whole line of Embroidered Uniform Guards. Whenever he executed a slash, he would kill seven people. Once he was done, he headed to whichever place had more Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Phantasmal Shadow and her group broke into cold sweat as they watched Dongfang Bubai leave.

“Thank goodness we reacted quickly…”

“Isn’t Tiger Soul even more terrifying in Dongfang Bubai’s hands compared to when it’s in the alliance master’s hands?!”

When Phantasmal Shadow heard her tower members’ lamentations after they escaped from death, she nodded slowly. “That’s right. The alliance master is skilled in fighting head-on against someone, but Dongfang Bubai is skilled in speed. In comparison, Dongfang Bubai is even more threatening after he obtained Tiger Soul’s power!

She stopped talking for a moment. Phantasmal Shadow then looked up and pointed to the distance.

“The alliance master might also be wondering whether he should take the risk.”

The group answered in silence.

At that moment, Wu Kuo suddenly remembered that Silver Wolf and his party had suddenly broken off from the crowd when the alliance master was suppressed.

He frowned and thought about it before he said, “Tower Master, say, it might not be a coincidence that Silver Wolf and his party left just now!”

The Wind Assault Tower members around him were stunned. They stared at Wu Kuo in puzzlement.

Phantasmal Shadow also cast him a puzzled look.

“Are you saying…?”

She could see the puzzlement in Wu Kuo’s eyes.

Wu Kuo voiced his own confusion straightaway. “Logically speaking, it’s wise of them to retreat from the battlefield on their own after they learn that they can’t get the saber from the people in the dao of heaven, but this is the desert palace and the ancient demon vessel, Tiger Soul. No one can resist the temptation of staying. But Silver Wolf and his party left beforehand. That’s a little strange.”

“Stop guessing, Big Brother, though it’s rare of you to become better at exercising your wits.”

Phantasmal Shadow cast Wu Kuo a meaningful look, and she praised him, which was something that she rarely did. “In truth, it’s been a few days since the system notification appeared, but we’ve never seen Happy appear in the area. From that moment, I’ve already guessed that he should be in the desert. It’s impossible that he’s not here when something so big has happened.”

“But Happy has already disappeared for a long time even before the system notification appeared.” Wu Kuo was stunned, and he saw Phantasmal Shadow’s solemn expression.

“This quest appeared at the moment he vanished. Do you think that it’s completely unrelated?”

“Are you saying that Happy is already in the desert, and there’s a possibility that he’s already by our side?”

“Even though I can’t be certain where Happy is and what plans he has, I can be certain that Silver Wolf and his party might have left because they received instructions from him. Also, that guy will definitely not allow Tiger Soul to wander about the game, not when it’s so dangerous.” When Phantasmal Shadow said these words, only a number of people noticed that the white letter in her hands had been crushed to powder.

“Are you that certain?”

Wu Kuo did not quite believe it.

Phantasmal Shadow smiled wryly. “It’s not that I’m confident, but Happy is just too confident in himself.”

In truth, half a minute ago, she did not believe that Happy was in the desert either, much less that he was very close to the desert palace, but the letter she received was written by Wandering Know-it-all, and the contents in it were incredibly important. Based on their promise, Wu Kuo did not have the right to know it.

Hence, no one knew that Happy was currently in the desert, and he was very close to them!

No one also knew that Happy had currently decided not to appear and interfere with the quest because a group of Wild Wolves had appeared in the desert of the Chinese plains through the borders.
