Sword Among Us - Chapter 1207: VS Forbidden Daiya Technique

Chapter 1207: VS Forbidden Daiya Technique

“There’s someone ahead of us!”

When they heard the report from the scout, Peach Blossom and Immortal scowled, and they looked surprised.

“What is Chief Wolf doing? We just asked him to clear the path ahead of us, but he didn’t manage to do even something as simple as this!”

“Don’t bother about that! How many people are there?”

“Two!”

“Two?”

Peach Blossom and Immortal felt so angry that they glared, but when they thought about the temperaments of the Wild Wolves beside them, they had to suppress their anger. “Are you telling me that you can’t even kill those two people?”

The person who sent the message put on an anguished expression.

“We wanted to, but that old man and the youngster are like ghosts. When they started running, we couldn’t even catch up to them. A few of our members chased after them, but they immediately lost track of them.”

Peach Blossom was stunned. She exchanged a look with Immortal. Both of them were at a loss.

Wild Wolves was an international mercenary group. Each member knew just how important lightness skills and movement speed was, which was why every member had immediately practiced the best lightness skill when they joined the game. All of them were about the same when it came to their lightness skills and body movements, and they were all the most outstanding in the game.

But now, the scout just told them that someone had managed to easily leave them in the dust, and this was clearly… a lightness skill at the level of someone in the dao of heaven!

“Could it be someone in the dao of heaven from the desert palace? Has that person been eyeing the saber by the side all this while?” The two women were nervous.

They would naturally not be too bothered if they faced a normal person in the dao of heaven. After all, even the alliance master had suffered in their hands, and they killed Dongfang Bubai. The group were very confident with the Forbidden Daiya Technique.

But as they traveled to this place, they were reduced to less than one-third of their original one hundred people. They could only last until they reached Flame Town. Right now, if they sent two more groups of people over, they would shake the foundation to escort Tiger Soul away, and it would be very easy for someone in the dao of heaven to take advantage of them and steal Tiger Soul!

“They don’t seem to be from the dao of heaven. The old man just has really good lightness skills…” The scout’s answer caused both of them to be slightly at ease.

Peach Blossom said without hesitation, “It’s good that they’re not in the dao of heaven, then. Send a few people to serve as sentries in the area. Don’t let them get close. We’ll continue moving forward. Before we meet up with Chief Wolf, we can’t let anything unforeseen appear!”

As long as they met up with Chief Wolf and the others, it would not be difficult for them to turn back and get rid of someone who was nearly at the dao of heaven.

“Understood!”

In a dark house across the pond was the Prophet Carlson. He sat in front of a table, and his movements froze for a moment. He frowned and stared at the image reflected in the crystal ball. As he mumbled, he sucked in a sharp breath.

“This is bad.”

“Hmm?”

Evil Emperor’s voice came from outside the room.

“What happened?” From the moment Flame Wolf started attacking them, the Prophet Carlson was ordered to monitor the situation within a circular area of three-tenths of a mile from him. Right now, if he said that the situation was bad, he naturally meant something had happened to Flame Wolf and Tiger Soul, so Evil Emperor’s tone was tense.

“Leader, do you remember how I mentioned a white-clad teenager when I was monitoring the people in the dao of heaven fighting against each other in the desert?”

“Him?” Evil Emperor’s tone turned to surprise. “Didn’t you say that after he left the fight, he left the desert with his servant?”

“At that time, he had indeed traveled a long distance to the west and did not show any signs of coming back, which is why I gave up on monitoring him. Then, for a long period of time, I couldn’t even find him.”

“I know that. At that time, you mentioned that you don’t even know who he is, which is why you couldn’t locate him.” He stopped talking for a moment, and Evil Emperor sounded tense. “I heard that his strength is on par with someone in the dao of heaven. Could it be that he appeared again.”

Carlson remained silent for two seconds in the house before he answered, “His servant has already appeared, and he lured away some of our members. I’m still searching for his whereabouts, but I’m guessing that he should be lying in ambush nearby.”

Evil Emperor’s expression changed.

“His servant is someone in the late stage of Myth Realm. If that’s the case, the white-clad swordsman is definitely nearby. Ha! He actually held back his desires and waited until now before he took action? What a devious man!” When he said this, he stopped talking, and the sounds of a messenger pigeon flapping its wings to fly into the sky could be heard.

Carlson could naturally tell that Evil Emperor sent Flame Wolf and the rest a warning through a letter, but…

“I hope we’re not too late.”

As he mumbled, Carlson started using his crystal ball again. The picture quickly moved in all directions so that he could monitor everything within a circular area of three-tenths of a mile from Flame Wolf.

Flame Wolf’s eyes were red. He moved like lightning, and his speed had increased by at least twofold compared to when he was at the peak of his condition. Even though there had been three hundred feet between him and another Wild Wolf, he managed to reach that person in a moment.

“Die!”

That Wild Wolf had clearly witnessed too many of his friends die in Flame Wolf’s hands, so he felt nothing. He only hoped that he could lead Flame Wolf further away before he died. In fact, he tried to draw him closer to Flame Town and a little further away from Peach Blossom and her group.

Bang!

Flame Wolf’s strength had already been increased by several fold after he was controlled by Tiger Soul. A saber glare shot out, and that Wild Wolf was reduced to streams of blood, and like a dilapidated log, he shattered into pieces.

Flame Wolf redirected his gaze, and he stared at another Wild Wolf who was running madly forward not faraway.

Whoosh!

“Next pair, get ready!”

Peach Blossom had made arrangements a long time ago and sent two people over to lure Flame Wolf’s attention away from the group. They lured him to the sides.

“Both of you, be careful! Try to last until you reach Flame Town!”

“Got it!”

As she gave her orders, Peach Blossom and her group did not slow down. They still moved at their fastest speed, and Flame Town appeared within their field of vision.

“We’re almost there!”

Immortal’s eyes lit up.

“Send a signal! Tell Chief Wolf and the rest to come and gather up with us!”

“Got it!”

Someone in the group resolutely brought out a small rocket-shaped thing from his Universe Bag and wanted to fire it into the sky.

But at that moment, something happened.

Thud!

The Wild Wolves had just jumped over a sandhill when a black figure suddenly broke out of the sand and charged at them.

Clang!

The sword whine was like a dragon’s roar.

The fierce sword glare brought it a clear and cold light as it swept through the area in the shape of a hoop.

Since this happened abruptly, the Wild Wolves were caught off guard. The sword glare hit them, and eight people died on the spot.

What caused Peach Blossom and Immortal to be shocked and filled with despair was that this seemingly simple slash had managed to destroy the body fortifications of those who had managed to activate their body fortifications in time, and among them were Bloody Hell Saber and Golden Rakkhasa.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While airborne, the Wild Wolves looked as if they were struck by an invisible force. As those dull sounds rose, they were sent flying away.

Eight people died on the spot.

“Enemy ambush!”

“Careful!”

When eight people died, the group finally realized that someone had hid himself under the sand, and their expressions changed.

“Happy!”

“It’s Happy!”

“Form the formation!”

“Forbidden Daiya Technique! Hurry!”

Peach Blossom and Immortal might have not clearly seen the white-clad swordsman’s attack, but while they were far away, they felt that the person who ambushed them was very familiar. When he appeared, he gave them a familiar sense of danger and unease, and they unanimously revealed the person’s identity.

As expected of an internationally famous group formed of top-class players, when the Wild Wolves heard this, they acted quickly. They split into groups of nine.

“Hahahaha!”

Even while he was airborne, Happy did not panic. He laughed long and hard. “It’s too late!”

He moved with his sword, and like lightning, he charged to Peach Blossom, who was closest to him.

“Dream on!”

Immortal could immediately tell that Happy’s goal was to first destroy Peach Blossom. She laughed coldly. She unsheathed her longsword, bringing with it a terrifying and cold glare. She tried to attack first to subjugate Happy, so she arrived right in front of Happy.

It was the stereotypical case of attacking someone in an attempt to save someone else.

“Hmph!”

But against her expectations, Happy did not even look at the slash that had appeared in front of his face at lightning speed. He pointed forward.

Shick!

A milky white finger-generated gust of wind struck Immortal’s flying sword.

The Inaction Technique ultimate technique showed its domineering side at that moment. Her flying sword was hit so hard that it flew back.

Meanwhile, Happy’s sword momentum did not decrease in the slightest. In an instant, he arrived in front of Peach Blossom.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

It was a life and death moment for her. Peach Blossom’s expression turned cold. With a shout, her longsword was unsheathed on its own. It was a flying sword technique as well, and it was the fiercest and most brutal counterattack that could be launched at the risk of the wielder’s death. This would guarantee a scenario where both fighters would end up heavily injured.

But Happy would not give her the chance to injure him badly.

“ROAR!”

He pointed forward. In a flash, Happy opened his mouth and roared, releasing a dragon roar that could pierce through even the hardest metal.

Peach Blossom was the closest to him, so she was the first to be attacked.

Her body trembled.

Her mind was instantly affected badly.

In her daze, her flying sword instantly became limp and powerless. It swayed as it grazed past Happy. Then, it stabbed into the desert in the distance.

‘No!’

Even though she was only affected for a brief moment by that dragon roar, Peach Blossom’s heart still sank. At the moment she opened her eyes, Happy’s fierce thrust had already pierced through her body fiercely.

Thud!

Peach Blossom was filled with disbelief as she stared at the strange-looking sword that was buried deep in her chest. Her strength started flowing away from her body quickly, and her eyes were wide open.

“You…”

But she could no longer form a full sentence, even though her words at the tip of her tongue.

Yet Happy could read what Peach Blossom wanted to say through the loathing and the puzzlement in Peach Blossom’s eyes.

Even when she died, she still did not understand how Happy appeared in the desert, right outside Flame Town.

Thud!

Happy turned around swiftly.

At the moment the sword was drawn from Peach Blossom’s body, red blood gushed into the air, and it created an incredibly tragic and cruel scene.

“Peach Blossom!

“Bastard!”

“Kill him!”

This might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but it was all over in the blink of an eye.

When Happy attacked and killed Peach Blossom with just one slash, the Wild Wolves finished creating their formation. With eighteen people, they formed two Forbidden Daiya Technique formations.

There were still quite a number of Wild Wolves as they came to this place, and they could absolutely fight against and even kill Happy.

Unfortunately, Flame Wolf killed dozens of people along their way here.

Just now, Happy also killed nine people. At that moment, they only had around twenty people left, and they could only form two matrices.

However, the Forbidden Daiya Technique was a top-class formation. The presence of two people in the dao of heaven spread out. Even Happy had to focus to face it. He quickly moved his attention away from Immortal and frowned. He held his breath and swept his gaze back and forth between these two groups of people.

The Wild Wolves did not hesitate. The two people in the lead attacked at the same time.

Once they released the presence of those in the dao of heaven, the ground within a circular area of 328 feet trembled.

The air trembled violently, and the pressure that caused the space to feel stagnant instantly stirred up two powerful tornadoes in the desert. They pushed Happy to the center.

Indeed, this formation was stronger than the Four Matchless Sword Formation!

Happy’s expression changed. He was shocked. It was no wonder why the Wild Wolves were able to seize Tiger Soul from Dongfang Bubai and the alliance master. They really did possess the power of those in the dao of heaven. Their abilities to lock down space might be even stronger than the former Evil Emperor.

But…

Happy’s eyes turned dark.

If this was all they could do…
