Sword Among Us-Chapter 80: Fight a Great Wolf Alone

With his own power, Happy had killed more than forty people from Heaven Domination Sect, and that included one of their leaders. This news soon reached the ears of Heaven Domination Sect’s sect master.

Mighty Tyrant was very depressed.

When he received the notification, the group that ventured out of the city had run into Dragon Tiger Sect’s mobilized forces. The large group of people gave off a very aggressive presence. They gathered at the foot of Cold Mountain Temple, and the people from Heaven Domination Sect did not dare approach the area during that period of time.

As for Dragon Tiger Sect, since Heaven Domination Sect had willfully killed their people, their desire for revenge was great, and hence, they were very alert for those who were from Heaven Domination Sect. During their way to Cold Mountain Forest, they killed more than twenty players.

Mighty Tyrant could only stay in the city.

With Dragon Tiger Sect holding them up, Mighty Tyrant could not provide reinforcements to Leader Lin and his group, and he could only watch as Leader Lin and his group were slaughtered by Happy. Instead, he had to continue mobilizing his forces to handle Dragon Tiger Sect’s mobilization.

“Blue-robed Noble Sword User…” While standing outside the city, Mighty Tyrant gritted his teeth. “This brat named Happy does indeed have some abilities.”

This time, he had truly miscalculated.

He had intended to use this chance to fight against Dragon Tiger Sect, which was why so many members in Gate Realm had been sent to Cold Mountain Temple to guard the spawning point of the Great Wolves. Then, they could work together with their people in the city to launch a pincer attack on Dragon Tiger Sect after they ventured into the depths of the forest.

However, he did not expect that Happy would enter the forest right then!

And they had also grossly miscalculated this murderer’s strength. Only a few of the fifty or so powerful players had escaped by a stroke of luck. Their army was in disarray, and the people in the city were intimidated by the people of Dragon Tiger Sect into not daring to leave the city. Their plan had been upset, and Mighty Tyrant was livid…

“Sect master, are we still going out?”

“Let’s observe a little further before we discuss this matter again.”

Mighty Tyrant scowled. He did not dare have the men gathered at the city gate leave.

More than forty people had died in the forest, and their abilities had been greatly reduced. They had lost half of their money and 20% of their qi realm. This meant that they would be in an injured state for a month. Even if they were resurrected, they would only be around the level of a normal new player. If they went to fight against Dragon Tiger Sect in this situation, it would obviously be an incredibly foolish decision.

Mighty Tyrant thought for a moment before giving a command.

“Tell our brothers to not act recklessly. Send a few to trail Dragon Tiger Sect. Go into the forest and take a look. Happy is their old enemy, if the two of them fight, it’ll be good for us.”

“Yes!”

A few players who had not entered Gate Realm swiftly left the city and chased after Dragon Tiger Sect’s group. They marched forward with the momentum of a mighty wave to head into the depths of the forest around Cold Wind Mountain.

At this moment, the people from Dragon Tiger Sect still did not know that the murderers who killed their people had already left the forest. As of then, only Happy and his group occupied the Great Wolf’s spawn point.

*****

Once he got rid of the group from Heaven Domination Sect, Happy checked his inventory and found that the battle had been rather harmful to him.

Even though he was physically unharmed, the drop rate from normal players was very low, and only a limited range of items could drop. He had killed more than forty people, but only took a total of eight medicinal tablets!

One medicinal tablet was one hundred taels of silver crumbs, which meant that he spent eight hundred taels of silver crumbs

Happy was now running out of money, so eight hundred taels of silver crumbs was quite a huge sum. At that moment, he could no longer care about Heaven Domination Sect’s reaction. He quickly went into the forest to search for Great Wolves.

Time was short. He had to hurry and earn some money to wander about the land!

The other three people could not understand Happy’s calmness and indifference. They could only laugh wryly about the situation.

Before this, they had dealt with Dragon Tiger Sect. Now, they dealt with Heaven Domination Sect, and Happy had even killed more than forty people in one go. They could not understand why Happy could act as if nothing had happened. Was he not worried that Heaven Domination Sect would mobilize all their forces to kill them? Even though Happy had shown extraordinary abilities, no matter how they looked at the situation, it would still be dangerous if they had to go up against an entire sect.

“Don’t worry.” Happy ran ahead of them and explained, “Judging by the time, it’ll be nighttime in less than an hour. Once night falls, this place will be my territory. As long as the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect doesn’t have a screw loose in his head, he won’t come to cause us trouble for the time being. It should be enough time for us to gather wolf pelts.”

The trio was at a loss for words. They looked at each other. If they wanted to carry out their operation safely in this place, they would have to rely on the possibility that all the screws in the head of the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect were tightly screwed.

In less than two minutes, Happy and the group saw a pair of huge eyes sparkling with an eerie, green glow in the forest.

The four of them came to a swift stop!

Immediately after, the owner of the green eyes walked forward leisurely, as if it were a hunter who had spotted its prey in a trap. It walked out of the dark depths of the forest in a very relaxed manner, and there was a faint, chilly look in its indifferent gaze that also held contempt. The creature swept its gaze over the four puny little things ahead of it while looking down on them.

Compared to Adult Wolves, Great Wolves had exceptional physical advantages. While on all fours, they had bodies that were the height of adult men and were more than 16 feet long. Their presence of fearsome beasts was incredibly great, and it could be detected throughout the entire area. Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and Azure Wolf’s breathing instantly became much more labored.

‘So tall!

‘So big!’

The three of them could not help but gulp laboriously, even though their throats were dry. Their Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

The wolf’s presence alone was enough to intimidate them. They were struck by the feeling that they did not know how to handle this creature.

“Hold the line for me. I’ll handle it.”

Happy knew that a Great Wolf in Blessed Realm would still be difficult for the trio, who had just entered Blessed Realm recently. He brought out his Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks and moved forward slowly.

One step, two steps…

His footsteps were calm, and his gaze lively. His fighting spirit raged!

Soon, the Great Wolf’s gaze was entirely fixed on Happy.

The instinct unique to wild beasts told it that the human before it was unlike the people it had dealt with previously. He might appear weak, but he did not show a single hint of fear.

“Howl!”

The Great Wolf was angered by the human’s provocation. The wild beast’s breath circled Happy, along with its low roar. The Great Wolf tensed up its claws, and with a jump forward, deep claw marks were left behind on the ground.

Whoosh!

The huge body moved like a black bolt of lightning through the air. It pounced on Happy in an arc, and it was so fast that it was even faster than the chief bandit from Balck Wind Mountain.

Whirlwind Young Li and the others were instantly shocked.

Each of the wild beast’s hunting moves were practiced repeatedly until they mastered them. In fact, some of those moves were the models and teachers for certain martial arts. Hence, it was not wrong to say that the attack speed of a Great Wolf in Blessed Realm surpassed the attack speed of the chief bandit from Black Wind Mountain.

Happy put on a grave expression.

Even though he had the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks with him, he was not foolish enough to use his physical body to take on the Great Wolf’s claws.

With the Great Wolf’s damage, it would be hard for even Happy to withstand three claw attacks when they were executed at full strength. He activated Cloud Treading Step, and once he straightened his body, he landed two feet away from the Great Wolf, avoiding the full-power attack just in time.

Happy did not let the Great Wolf pounce on him again. Right after he landed, he tapped against the ground at an even faster speed and went to the Great Wolf’s side like a whirlwind.

The beast had a great body, which would make it very difficult to throw it if he wanted to use the same fighting strategy as with the Wild Wolves. Thus, Happy could only attack with brute strength.

However, he also had to pay attention to the parts he attacked.

Vitals were the body’s acupressure points and joints. Once they were struck, the Great Wolf’s strength would be reduced in a very obvious manner. However, if he attacked blindly, he would just be like the players from before—they could only kill one Great Wolf after fighting it for a long time in a large group.

Right then, Happy changed the momentum of his fist, and his whole presence changed!

A clear black aura enveloped Happy’s hands, and it swiftly wrapped around the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks. With a profound and rich aura, Happy struck the Great Wolf’s body like a furious tiger charging down the mountains.

Thud!

The sound was heavy and loud! The Great Wolf howled in pain, and its giant body was forced two feet back! Four sets of deep claw marks were left on the ground, and incredulity, surprise, and anger showed up in the creature’s eyes.
