Sword Among Us chapter 188 - golden bell cocoon shows its might | English Novels Online

The areas inside and outside the forest soon turned into a slaughterhouse filled with the shadows of weapons and blood. Sword glares of various colors appeared and vanished, and the sounds of wind being sliced rose and fell. The noise traveled far and wide, but once many of the powerful players from the sects worked together to resist the attack, the non-sect members suffered terrible losses and could not push into the depths of the forest. This situation was something the players at the edge and outside the forest could not accept.

“Fire!”

“Shoot and kill these bastards!”

Soon, the situation in the battlefield became even worse and more complicated.

When the arrows in the air landed among the players, the fighters in the forest copied their tactic and began shooting arrows from their side as well. Large groups of players fell to the ground dead, including some innocent players who had not joined the battle.

Only Happy’s side managed to open a gap.

The two zombie puppets stood in front, and Thunderous Battle, in his light armor, moved like a mobile battle fortress. They broke through the line and advanced in a triangle. When Thunderous Battle drew close to an enemy, there was no one who could last three rounds against him.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s advantage was in his lightness skill. He resolutely changed from being the main attacker to a supporter and followed behind Little North and Thunderous Battle, protecting their flanks. He shifted back and forth like a ghost and killed the people beside them.

The three people soon broke through the defense line formed by the sect ahead of them, like a hot knife cutting into butter. They then rushed into the forest.

“You sure are wild, huh?!”

A loud roar that sounded like a thunderclap rose from within the forest.

The non sect-members who followed behind Thunderous Battle and his party trembled at the sound of it. They stopped moving and looked up. A dazzling sword glare that traveled at the speed of an alarmed bird taking flight shot over from a distance, as if it was a comet from the world beyond. It instantly charged at Thunderous Battle, who fought with increasing boldness. The momentum of the sword glare was sharp and fierce, as if it wanted to break through everything in its path!

‘A strong player has arrived…’

When Thunderous Battle saw the sword glare, his eyes lit up with fighting spirit. He did not retreat but advanced!

“Infinite Rebirth!”

He resolutely took half a step forward and changed the momentum of his sword. Then, with the ease of lightning spliting a tree in half, he canceled his fierce and violent sword attack for a gentle aura.

Happy nodded in secret while following closely behind him.

Infinite Rebirth was Infinite Sword Technique’s high-tier critical skill. It was one of its killing moves, but it was different from Flowering Knights Slash, which was a violent and domineering killing move. Infinite Rebirth was a defensive move that had its edge in the dark. Compared to Flowering Knights Slash, which was a flashy big move, it was even more dangerous and difficult to fend against.

However, Infinite Sword Technique was not the only high-tier martial art in the world that had killing moves. Thunderous Battle was also not the only one who had his high-tier martial art at Grandmaster Realm.

Happy looked around, and his expression grew solemn.

A group of people on horses charged out of the depths of the forest. They had to have practiced high-tier martial arts as well, for they were all mighty fighters with extraordinary levels. If they fought against them for a long time, when the flames of war around them were extinguished, the gap at their side would probably have already been blocked!

They had to end the battle quickly!

When Happy thought of this, he tapped against the ground. He was unable to help himself and weaved through the crowd to the frontlines like a ghost.

Bang!

At the instant the attacker clashed head on against Thunderous Battle’s killing move, which he had charged but not released, it neutralized the sharp and fierce attack that came from the distance. Both of them were forced back. It seemed that their strength was actually about the same.

“Good!” the newcomer shouted. He was actually interested in the fight right then. He was full of spirit when he moved in front of Thunderous Battle once more, swiftly engaging him in a fight. At the same time, he shouted loudly, “I’ll handle this person! All of you take care of the rest! Chase everyone out of this place, and kill all those who resist without exception!”

When he finished speaking, a yellow figure appeared at their scattered defense line in his peripheral vision. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and his heart let out a loud thump.

The newcomer was incredibly young and handsome. He had an elegant disposition, and he moved about with an otherworldly grace. He held no weapons, but he appeared in a languid manner beside All-powerful Medicinal Stone and Little North. There was a faint hint of derision and mockery on his face.

“Kill all of us?”

If Happy had been a normal player, the players who surrounded the area would definitely not say anything but use their actions to explain what “kill all without exception” truly meant.

But he possessed an extraordinary presence and was abnormally calm. He was also dressed in an eye-catching Yellow Dragon Archer Gear, which made him appear elegant and domineering at the same time. There was a faint layer of golden yellow light surrounding him, giving off a bold presence that declared that it would not tolerate any encroachment into its territory. Once it spread out, all the people nearby sucked in sharp breaths.

High-tier body fortification technique!

“Why are there so many good players here?!”

The newcomer was just about to go up against Thunderous Battle when the situation fell out of his hands. He cursed and quickly retreated from his fight against Thunderous Battle. Instead, he had two of his companions take his place to hold Thunderous Battle back, while he brought the others to surround Happy, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and Little North.

“Together!”

Once that order was given, around a dozen players erupted with a strong aura from their bodies. Clanging sounds were heard as they drew their weapons. They intermingled with each other before they pounced on their targets.

Based on their movements and positioning, Happy could tell that their abilities were way above those who were in the defense line before! Once they shifted spots with each other, their targets became clear, and their momentum was astonishing. Anyone who let down their guard would be oppressed and defeated by their formation and the momentum they deliberately created.

However, the people in Happy’s party were not normal good players.

Little North had two zombies with abnormally sturdy bodies, and if he was no longer afraid of three Mystical Realm zombies, how could he be intimidated by such small tricks?

All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s lightness skill was unmatched in the game, and he was the best at avoiding enemy attacks and attacking their weaknesses. This sort of thing was completely useless against him.

There was not even a need to mention Happy.

He did not move his feet in the face of the enemies who came at him from three directions at an aggressive charge nor change his position when their attacks were about to land on his body.

Everything happened in a flash. When the trio saw that the mysterious young man before them did not react, their solemn looks turned into crazed delight. They subconsciously increased the strength of their attacks. They looked as if they wanted to kill him in one go with the howling wind as an accompaniment.

However, what they did not expect was that the moment before their attacks touched Happy’s flesh, the faint golden light surrounding him suddenly increased!

Buzz!

The golden light and the trio’s weapons clashed head on, and it let out waves of loud bell chimes that shook the players’ hearts. The trio felt as if their attacks had landed on a huge and mighty bell!

“Ah!”

The trio took a huge step backwards from the tremors!

As for Happy, aside from a faint flush on his cheeks because of swelling, he did not move and inch. He stood as still as a mountain.

The people in the area sucked in sharp breaths when the saw what happened.

Before they snapped out of the daze, Happy looked up, moved like a ghost, and caught up to the person who had spoken earlier. He lowered his body, swung his fist in an arc, and flipped the speaker off his feet while the man was still shocked by the information brought by the system.

It was only when he was flat on his back did he realize what happened, but unfortunately for him, it was already too late. His body was instantly suppressed, and a low and icy voice dealing out his judgment reached his ears.

“Those who block me will be killed without mercy.”

Then, the sound of a throat being crushed destroyed the last shreds of consciousness in the player who had a high-tier martial art at Grandmaster Realm. The resolute action of killing the man and the loud sound it made brought a pause to all the battles in the forest.

As the crowd watched the corpse in Happy’s hands fall down slowly, all the sect members lost their rationality and jumped out from the forest with loud shouts!

“Take revenge for the sect master!”
