Sword Among Us - Chapter 627: Conclusion

Clang!

The loud bell chime was penetrating, and it rang through the entire area. Right after, someone in the rightmost palace shouted in anger and surprise, and the doors to the second palace to the right and the second palace in the center opened at the same time.

Groan…

The heavy doors slowly opened.

A black figure shot out from each door and arrived at the training ground. They glanced at the countless evil cult disciples’ corpses along with the first palace at the center that was almost demolished, and their expressions changed drastically.

Their gazes landed on the rightmost palace then. The huge golden bell was lying diagonally in the hole it had created, and when they looked closer, they saw an old man with white hair holding Xing Wuzui, who was coughing up blood nonstop.

“Old Xing!”

“Save him! Old Xing is almost done for!” The white-haired old man’s urgent and anxious cries could be heard from the hole in the wall of the palace.

Silence fell.

Whoosh!

The two elders snapped out of their daze with the chime of the golden bell. They shuddered and ran to the palace at once.

“This Old Xing… Why didn’t he call us even when he noticed a powerful enemy? His organs have already shifted, so even the gods could do nothing about it…”

One of the elders seemed to know a little bit about medicine. Once he entered the palace, he grabbed Xing Wuzui’s wrist and checked his pulse in a manner that brooked no disagreement. His eyes flashed with graveness and uneasiness. “Who did this?”

Even though there were a few people of the younger generation standing at the training ground, they did not dare believe that Xing Wuzui and so many evil cult disciples could have died in their hands.

“Hurry, bring Fire Qilin Blood…” The elder who knew medicine spoke quickly in the dark and disorderly palace. “Fire Qilin Blood contains the strongest life force. It should be able to help him move his organs back to place! Hurry! If we don’t do something now, no one will be able to!”

“But Elder Xing has always been the one who personally took care of Fire Qilin Blood.”

The other two elders had troubled expressions on their faces.

Only Elder Xing had that sort of thing.

“Search for it!”

The elder who knew medicine was very resolute, and his tone was firm. “Elder Xing is the Vice Sect Master of Sky Demon Sect. He cannot die!” He began moving his hands quickly over Xing Wuzui’s body.

When he reached his waist, the sound of robes fluttering could be heard from outside the hole.

He looked up.

A young man donning sparkling golden armor from head to toe stood in front of them with his back straight. There was a burning look hidden under his cold expression. “Don’t waste such a precious thing.”

He formed a claw shape with his hand and grabbed at the air.

A powerful suction force appeared abruptly, and a Universe Bag landed firmly in Happy’s hand. A faint smile appeared on his face. “Fire Qilin Blood can allow a person to rise from certain death, but it shouldn’t be used on a dead person.”

With an indifferent look, he looked at Xing Wuzui, who was no longer breathing in the white-haired old man’s bosom, and just as he wished, he heard the system telling him that he obtained a Class S battle assessment.

“Battle Danger Assessment: Class S!

“Increased Nine Yang Divine Skill to Level 90.01, the tenth realm.”

“Where did you come from, you conceited brat?!”

“Put it down!”

The three elders had angry looks on their faces while they shouted in surprise. But Happy was simply too fast and obtained what he wanted with a single wave of a hand. He did not give them the chance to react at all.

When they saw that Xing Wuzui’s Universe Bag landed in the young stranger’s hands, the trio were both surprised and angry.

They were surprised because of his ability to grab items through the air, and he had even been able to grab Elder Xing’s Universe Bag under their eyes. They had not had the time to block it.

And they were angry because this youngster had grabbed something from their hands right before their eyes. It was basically the same as him slapping their old faces.

While they shouted at him in anger, the leftmost elder, who was uninjured, was the first to react.

Whoosh!

He executed a palm strike in a very flashy manner, and in an instant, it arrived in front of Happy.

He curled up the corners of his lips. There was no expression on his face as he took a step forward instead of retreating. Then, in a nonchalant manner, he moved to the evil cult elder who had attacked him.

Their hands intersected with each other, and the evil cult elder froze.

Happy arrived next to the evil cult elder without slowing down. He executed a knifehand strike that contained no fluorish whatsoever, and as the evil cult elder’s pupils swiftly widened, he pushed it against the enemy’s chest smoothly.

Then, he jabbed at the elder with his left hand!

Bang!

The evil cult elder flew horizontally outward.

During the fight against Xing Wuzui, Happy’s strength had increased to the point that it was astonishing. He managed to gain the initiative with Dragon Capture, and they instantly drew close to each other. He then struck the elder with a palm-generated gust of wind and Joined Finger.

It was only when the evil cult elder was sent flying that he realized how arrogant he had been.

He also realized why someone as strong as Xing Wuzui would die!

Unfortunately, realizing it then was not enough.

“Boy, how dare you?!”

A furious roar that sounded like thunder traveled into Happy’s ears, and it came from very close.

But Happy ignored the evil cult elder who knew medicine when he attacked to intercept him. His Golden Bell Cocoon rose around his body, and before the evil cult elder could even attack, it rammed into him like a wall. The evil cult elder had not even been able to attack, and he was already forced to take a step back by a powerful attack. He lost the best timing to intercept the youth.

Happy did not slow down. He stuck close to the evil cult elder who was forced back, and in an instant, he caught up to him. Then, he executed a palm strike and a finger strike on the evil cult elder whose body fortification swayed.

The evil cult elder’s face was pale!

At that moment, he finally realized that the young man in front of him might be the culprit who killed Xing Wuzui!

Happy had been able to fight against someone as powerful as Xing Wuzui on equal grounds, and after exchanging multiple blows with him, he had won. That meant that Happy will naturally not need to waste any precious time against a normal elder.

Bang!

The palace trembled violently once more.

Dust fell from the ceiling.

The evil cult elder’s eyes bulged out as he stared at the young man who was close to him. He simply could not believe that his counterattacks had all missed.

Even though he had been very careful, he could not avoid the young man’s attacks.

He could not understand how a youngster’s palm technique could be so strong that an Inaction Realm martial artist would be unable to withstand even a few hits.

In the blink of an eye, Happy used Dragon Capture and Petite Dragon to violently push the fourth evil cult elder into the wall of the palace in Sky Demon Secret Cave!

“Cough!”

Terrifying blood foam came out of the evil cult elder’s mouth. His neck twisted, and he collapsed upon death.

This scene terrified the evil cult elder, who had caught up to Happy and wanted to prevent him from attacking, so much that his face turned pale.

Less than fifteen seconds had passed since his companion attacked to the moment he died.

They were all evil cult elders, and their strength was about the same. No matter how arrogant he was, he still realized the disparity in strength, and he knew just what would happen to him if he continued to chase after Happy.

He sucked in a sharp breath and turned tail and ran without hesitation.

But unfortunately for him, right when he rushed out of the palace, Momo, Phantasmal Shadow, and the others stood in a line at the entrance. They had been waiting for him, and they stared at the pale-stricken evil cult elder with a hostile look.

He looked away, but Happy’s gaze was already on the white-haired elder who still held onto Xing Wuzui’s corpse!
