Sword Among Us-Chapter 1141: Kill Him To Silence Him

Chapter 1141: Kill Him To Silence Him

When Happy saw a person flying over, his expression changed slightly. He instinctively cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a glance. “You asked for help?”

With his sight, he was naturally able to notice that this person possessed outstanding abilities. He came quietly, as if he had merged with the world. He was enveloped by the breeze, and if Happy’s spiritual senses had not covered a circular area of six hundred feet, it was impossible for him to notice this person. In other words, this person was definitely not just at Myth Realm.

“Hmph.”

Thousand-faced Human Fox had been so offended by Chu Liuxiang’s name that he nearly fainted, and he eagerly wanted someone to come out to cause chaos to the situation. When he heard this, he shut his eyes rudely. But he noticed that Happy’s gaze had moved from his face, he was immediately unable to help himself but cast a glance at the lake with the corner of his eyes.

As the person drew close silently, Happy’s expression turned grimmer.

“As expected of the young hero who once forced Evil King to retreat. I am from Sword Sect, and I am Jian Ao.” The person flew over and landed across Happy without his feet ever touching ground. Once he calmly introduced himself, his gentle gaze landed on Happy’s face. There was not a shred of emotion in his eyes.

‘What a gentle gaze… He doesn’t look like someone who walks down the dao of swords.’

Even though Happy had been prepared for it a long time ago, at the moment he met Sword Sect’s master’s eyes, he could not help but have the wariness in his heart reduce.

Compared to One Emperor, Ximen Chuixue, and the others, Sword Sect’s master’s gaze was incredibly calm and harmless. He looked like a normal person.

However, the change in his qi activity quickly caused a transformation in the world. And when Sword Sect’s master noticed the switch in Happy’s qi, a shocking and fierce sword will shot out of his eyes!

Almost instinctively, Happy’s true origin aura surged out of his eyes and gathered there to protect his eyes.

An incredibly fierce sword will shot into Happy’s eyes from Sword Sect’s master’s eyes.

Boom!

The fierce sword will seemed to be mixed with a spirit attack that could cause dizziness. For a period of time, Happy sensed as if something in his head had exploded. His true origin aura suffered a violent attack, and thin, warm trickles of tears flowed out of his eyes against his will.

Happy instantly snapped out of Sword Sect’s master’s ambush. He widened his eyes and grabbed Golden Saber Divine Sword with a reverse grip. An even more powerful qi rose from his body.

“What an amazing Sword Eye! It does indeed live up to its name!” Happy’s words were chilling to the bone. At the same time his sword will rose, his qi activity was locked on Sword Sect’s master.

Since Jian Ao’s attack was ineffective, a faint hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly came to understand something.

When he faced Happy’s incredibly hostile gaze, Sword Sect’s master smiled faintly. “There are fewer than five people who can easily parry my Sword Eye. My disciple’s death in your hands is justified, then.”

“Are you saying that your disciple should have died?”

Naturally, Happy did not believe that the current Sword Sect’s master would acknowledge his strength because of the test just now and give up on revenge. Right now, Happy was incredibly shocked by the man’s strength. He had managed to release such a terrifying sword move discreetly. This man was not at all weaker than Evil King. If he fought against this man alone, he might be killed by Sword Sect’s master if he was careless.

Right after he finished speaking, before Sword Sect’s master could react, Thousand-faced Human Face butted into the conversation.

“…Sect master, don’t be angry! Happy is trying to make you angry!”

He had been watching their conversation since it started, and he could sense the atmosphere between them. Even though he was not involved in the fight, based on the mocking tone in Happy’s words, it was not difficult for him to tell that the person was an enemy of Happy’s, not a friend.

There was one sentence that was incredibly accurate—the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Naturally, Thousand-faced Human Fox did not want to lose the chance to break free from Happy. When he sensed Happy’s intention in making Sword Sect’s master angry, he quickly butted into the conversation.

However, what Thousand-faced Human Fox did not expect was that even when Happy heard this, he was not angry. He chuckled softly, as if he was not bothered by his hostage fraternizing with the enemy.

“…”

Sword Sect’s master slowly looked in Thousand-faced Human Fox’s direction. He frowned, and his gaze landed on Happy again. “Sect Master Happy, the person in your hands must be the thief who stole Sword Sect’s Heaven Crystal from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, right?”

“…”

Thousand-faced Human Fox instantly found himself tongue-tied because of it.

It was only at that moment that he remembered. Sword Sect’s master had appeared in this place because of him as well. If he had not stolen Heaven Crystal, Sword Sect’s former master might have a chance in winning against Happy if he had the sword in his hands.

“…”

When he heard the murderous and indifferent words from Sword Sect’s master, Thousand-faced Human Fox realized that he just did something stupid.

“That’s right. He lied to me, saying that he’s Chu Liuxiang, but he looks shifty-eyed, so he should be a good-for-nothing disciple of Chu Liuxiang.”

Happy tried to make his tone as indifferent as possible.

Sword Sect’s master nodded coolly. He stared at the air with an unfocused look in his eyes. He said, “The former sect master of Sword Sect stayed three years to nourish Heaven Crystal at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. Not only has this person reduced Sword Sect’s blood, sweat, and tears to nothing, he has also indirectly killed the former sect master of my sect. If you don’t mind, I will bring this person’s head back to Sword Sect later as an offering for my worthless disciple.”

When he heard those Sword Sect’s master, Thousand-faced Human Fox instantly had all his blood drain from his face.

“You can’t kill me! Only I know where Heaven Crystal is in the world!”

It would have been better if Thousand-faced Human Fox did not say this, because once he said those words, a look suddenly flashed in Sword Sect’s master’s eyes, and without batting an eyelid, he pointed forward.

In an instant, Thousand-faced Human Fox felt as if he fell into an ice cave!

Killing intent!

His killing intent was practically substantial, and the fierce finger-generated wind caused him, who was immobile, to feel as if he was instantly pushed to Death’s door. He widened her eyes in panic and fear, because he could not believe that Sword Sect’s master would try to kill him.

Happy was the closest to the two of them. With his spiritual senses, he instantly sensed Sword Sect’s master’s killing intent.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

He practically moved in front of Thousand-faced Human Fox instinctively and drew Golden Saber Divine Sword.

Cling!

A clear sound rose. Happy was just in time to block Sword Sect’s master’s fatal finger-generated wind and saved Thousand-faced Human Fox’s life.

“…”

Happy blocked Sword Sect’s master’s finger-generated wind, and Happy’s expression became strange. In puzzlement, he stared at Sword Sect’s master, who looked as if he had never moved. “Sect master, what is the meaning of this?”

“The meaning?”

Sword Sect’s master cast a glance at Thousand-faced Human Fox expressionlessly. “The former sect master of Sword Sect died because of him. Shouldn’t he die, if that’s the case?”

This explanation was indeed acceptable.

But when Happy heard Sword Sect’s master’s explanation, the puzzlement in his eyes grew. “Don’t you want to know where Heaven Crystal is?”

Thousand-faced Human Fox might not be able to move, but he could sense the killing intent and finger-generated wind just now clearly. He knew that they came from Sword Sect’s master. When he escaped from death, he felt himself scared witless. Goosebumps instantly covered his entire body, and he felt a little grateful toward Happy.

“A divine weapon cannot compare to my disciple’s life. My unworthy disciple was too obsessed with the divine weapon’s power, which was why he was taken advantage of. To Sword Sect, Heaven Crystal is not an auspicious item. If it disappears from the world of martial artists from now on, we can avoid bloodshed, and Sword Sect will be considered to have brought about a blessing to the world of martial artists!”

When he noticed that Jian Ao’s killing intent was getting stronger, Thousand-faced Human Fox panicked. “Nonsense!

“If you’re really so noble, would Sword Sect’s former master have stayed at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction for three years? If you’re really just here for revenge, would you have left Sword Sect so impatiently? Hmph! Would you have been able to find me so quickly? You deliberately slathered Heaven Crystal with Demonic Fragrance!” When his life was threatened, Thousand-faced Human Fox finally stopped trying to hide his identity. At the same time, he finally thought through many things, and he revealed everything like a machine gun.

“Hmph!” A fierce light shone in Jian Ao’s eyes. “You’re too noisy!”

As he spoke, he drew his sword from his sheath. A sound that tore through the air came from his sheath. It dropped down on Thousand-faced Human Fox like a shooting star. This attack was much fiercer than his Sword Eye just now.

At that moment, Happy stood between Sword Sect’s master and Thousand-faced Human Fox. He could already tell that there was something strange from their words and Thousand-faced Human Fox’s mannerisms.

It was no wonder why Sword Sect’s master had left the sect so hurriedly.

It was no wonder why he had arrived at the lake at such a crucial moment.

He might have suddenly wanted to kill Thousand-faced Human Fox because he had mentioned that he was the only person in the world who knew where Heaven Crystal was.

Sword Sect’s master clearly had a method to track down Heaven Crystal.

As long as he killed Thousand-faced Human Fox, only Jian Ao would be able to find Heaven Crystal in the world!

He could understand what was going to happen next using even his feet to think. Jian Ao wanted to kill him to keep him silent!

Sword Sect’s master attack enveloped Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox. If Happy left, Thousand-faced Human Fox would definitely die!

If Happy did not dodge, he would face a great threat, and he would be severely injured. Perhaps both of them would face the danger of dying in the place at the same time.

Happy remained calm when he faced Jian Ao’s sword force.

The Dragon Swings Its Tail!

Happy managed to reflect the full-powered attack from an elite who was One with the World in an ingenious manner.

Jian Ao’s pupils shrank. He quickly noticed that the situation was bad for him.

But unfortunately for him, it was already too late!

This was his first time fighting against Happy, so it was clear that he did not know Happy’s real strength. Even though he had heard that Happy had outstanding strength from the rumors circulating in the world of martial artists, the rumors were still not very accurate, because Happy had worked together with Heavenly Saber Song Que when they fought against Evil King.

Right after he used the Dragon Swings Its Tail, Jian Ao’s attack missed its target, and a counterattack that was of the same intensity instantly descended on him.

Ting!

Jian Ao reacted very quickly.

He positioned his longsword in front of him. He moved quickly, and it managed to not make him appear too pathetic. Happy’s Dragon Swings Its Tail landed on his sword.

His sword bent slightly.

Jian Ao’s qi and blood surged because of the kick. His feet landed on the ground, and he slid far away from Happy.

But that was not all.

Whoosh!

While he was airborne, Happy flicked the air with his finger.

Sun Finger!

Five astonishing finger-generated gusts of wind sliced through the air with a howling wind.

Even if Jian Ao’s strength was already at the stage where he was One with the World, since he had acted hastily, when he faced the series of surprising and aggressive counterattacks, he could not quite react to the situation.

He activated his body fortification, but even so, his qi and blood surged when Sun Finger, amplified by Full Winds in Long Skies, attacked him. He trembled slightly.

Sword Sect’s master’s expression became even more unpleasant. The killing intent in his eyes became even fiercer!

However, Happy’s expression was also dark as well.

An elite who was One with the World was not that easy to deal with.

Even though he used Dragon Swings Its Tail and the explosive strength from Full Winds in Long Skies to temporarily gain an advantage, it was completely impossible for him to protect an unarmed person while he faced the offense from an elite who was One with the World.

Once Sword Sect’s master managed to react to the situation, Thousand-faced Human Fox would definitely die. The news about Heaven Crystal would also disappear from the world of martial artists.

Just when Happy’s thoughts raced and he thought about how to get out of the situation, Thousand-faced Human Fox shouted, “Sect Master Happy, Heaven Crystal is in a cave in this mountain! There are three stones at the entrance of the cave!”

“Hmph!”

Sword Sect’s master stood still. He glanced at Thousand-faced Human Fox with a fierce glance, and without hesitation, he turned around and vanished.

“Don’t run!” Happy could not care about helping Thousand-faced Human Fox out of his predicament right now. He used Wave-like Subtle Steps and quickly went into the darkness.
