Sword Among Us Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097 - Dragon Coil, Control

Night fell, and lanterns were lit.

The headquarters of Lovely Land was brightly lit. Lanterns were risen high above the rows of hitching posts outside. The lights lit up a circular area of 656 feet.

Rumble!

A stream of people rushed to Ghost’s Domain.

Evil Emperor had not gotten out of jail yet, but Lovely Land had already begun to make preparations for war in a tense atmosphere. Even though Lovely Land members were practically nonexistent in the branches, there were plenty of members in the headquarters. Countless members rushed past the walls of the headquarters, and they were ready to fight.

The walls were dozens of feet tall now, and even a regular elite could only dream about jumping over to gain a footing.

The hall in the front yard could already fit in seven thousand to eight thousand people. The imposing atmosphere they gave off was much more substantial than any sect in the past, and it instilled more fear into all those who saw it.

“So… a headquarters built outside a city could actually be so strong? The territory we occupy is at least two times bigger than Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters in Beijing…” There are a few Lovely Land members who were originally in Wind Assault Tower among the crowd heading to Lovely Land’s headquarters right now. Some of them began to gasp in astonishment.

“Duh!” A companion beside them cast a glance at his friend. This friend of his had only joined Lovely Land because he suggested it. “A sect built outside the city doesn’t have the protection and limitations set by the imperial court. The players will need to provide for themselves. It’s only normal if the walls are sturdier and the territory is larger, otherwise, if enemy sects ambush us while our guard is low during the night and easily destroy our headquarters, no one will dare set up their sect outside.”

No one said anything, but plenty of people heard this, and they agreed to it quietly.

The number of people going back was still increasing drastically.

The headquarters seemed like a palace that could accommodate an endless number of people.

The Lovely Land members who returned to the headquarters saw the astonishing scene in the headquarters, and all of them were incredibly excited and worked up. This was the first time they saw a defensive war of such a scale.

“How many people are in our headquarters right now?”

Occasionally, someone who just joined them would ask this question, and the people around him would immediately answer in great pride and smugness. “Seventy thousand to eighty thousand. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people stationed at Ghost’s Domain. One Emperor is even personally guarding that place. If there is a need, they will rush over in ten minutes to provide reinforcements.”

Those people would fall silent in shock when they heard this.

“Where’s our sect master? Is he in the headquarters?”

“Of course!”

“This is an important moment. He will definitely fight with us.”

When Happy flew over the air, he was just in time to hear a few people’s conversation crawl into his ears. He smiled in his heart.

The start of this war was because Evil Emperor wanted to take revenge. The man had already sent Happy a letter just now, and he said that he wanted to fight properly against Happy to erase the humiliation he suffered before this. There was no way Happy was going to be absent from the fight, because he had no reason to be absent.

But now, there was still around an hour before Evil Emperor got out of prison.

Happy did not intend to just wait around foolishly and let time pass.

Lovely Land’s headquarters had just created its sect prison and Pill Refinement Hall yesterday. Happy had repeatedly verified the other profound technique in Dragon Coil in the sect prison yesterday. At the same time, he also practiced Full Winds in Long Skies.

Unfortunately, since he was short on time and the Inaction Realm prisoners in the sect prison simply could not withstand Full Winds in Long Skies (they could not even withstand a normal Full Winds in Long Skies delivered at them using a normal masterpiece), the speed of prisoners increasing in the sect prison simply could not catch up to the speed Happy killed or injured them.

[It’s not very appropriate for you to go out now, is it?]

Right when he reached Ghost’s Domain, Happy received a letter from Wandering Know-it-all. When he saw the resigned and tense tone from the letter, he smiled in his heart.

From Wandering Know-it-all’s letter, Happy could already guess that he was most likely sitting in front of his Eight Trigrams Chart and Universe Secrets Inkstone to continuously figure out the positions of a few people in the Chinese server. In fact, he might be playing a tense and exciting simulation of the upcoming war with Wind Chimes’ help.

[Don’t worry. I just want to search for someone to help me train the newest skill I learned. I don’t want to miss a good chance to attack Evil Emperor when I fight against him.]

[Be careful. The people from Class One Hall have already begun gathering outside Beijing. Dream Clouds should have spies in many of the cities Lovely Land is currently occupying. My initial estimation is that Lovely Land’s headquarters might be surrounded by at least three hundred and fifty thousand people!]

Happy said nothing about that.

[Class One Hall might have been suppressed badly during this period of time, but the forces affiliated to Class One Hall across the land did not suffer huge losses. Most of them still retained their power and have the ability to suppress the branches of Lovely Land. That’s why, once war breaks out, they won’t switch battlefields and will focus all the firepower at your headquarters. You best be prepared.]

The suggestion and reminder Wandering Know-it-all gave were rather neutral and accurate. It was the same as the judgment Happy gave Lovely Land.

‘If Wild Wolves were not around, Lovely Land could destroy Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, the twelve Beijing sects, and the other affiliated sects in a month!’

But since they still had Wild Wolves around, they had a force strong enough for them to turn the tides around at any moment. Hence, even if Lovely Land had Happy and One Emperor defending it, they had to face the trouble of being attacked on all fronts.

This battle would decide Lovely Land’s survival.

In more accurate terms, Happy and Evil Emperor’s fight would determine who the final victor of the entire war was.

His reply to Wandering Know-it-all was very simple. There were only two words in the letter.

[Got it!]

*****

Similar to Wandering Know-it-all, Phantasmal Shadow was also observing the north while she remained far away from the place that was about to go into an intense war.

Phantasmal Shadow absolutely did not expect that Lovely Land would be able to reach this extent in the north. The fifty billion revenge fund that appeared out of nowhere had allowed Lovely Land’s members to shoot up to seven hundred thousand people, and that number was already incredibly close to the lineup Wind Assault Tower only managed to get after spending four years in the game.

Phantasmal Shadow had not just told Happy that if she knew that the north would turn out like this a long time ago, she would definitely not head south to stage another war. Instead, she would use Lovely Land’s strength to launch a pincer attack against Class One Hall and the twelve Beijing sects. Even if they only had two days left before Evil Emperor got out of jail, they would still be able to completely change the situation in the north.

Of course, the answer she received was rather comforting.

[If Wind Assault Tower had not left Beijing and headed south, the people around Beijing would not have joined Lovely Land without hesitation.]

All things were already predestined to happen, and no one could change it.

Phantasmal Shadow might have become at ease because of it, but she was still a little worried about Lovely Land’s fight to the death against Class One Hall.

When Wandering Know-it-all sent her news that a certain person had actually leisurely headed over to Ghost’s Domain to train, she could not force down the agitation and anxiety in her heart. She sent a messenger pigeon over.

[I heard from Wandering Know-it-all that Evil Emperor reached a breakthrough while he was in jail. His control over that technique might have increased. Happy, you must be careful!]

“That technique” naturally referred to the astonishing palm strike Evil Emperor used to shatter space in the battle replay that the official developers took and uploaded online.

Happy found himself a little speechless toward Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow’s repeated “harassment”, but he also knew that it was because these two people were paying high attention to the battle, and they were also very anxious about it. So, he had to be patient and explain things to them.

[Don’t worry, I have a plan.]

[I’m still quite worried. I’ll mobilize my men and send them north through the river. Perhaps we can slaughter our way up north through the river.]

Happy said nothing about that, but he finally understood what it meant by having everyone else being worried about his affairs while he himself was unconcerned.

Of course, he would not say that.

To someone who obtained everything since a long time ago, they would be very afraid of losing all that they currently had, but Happy had only spent a short few months before he moved from his position of having nothing to become the sect master of Lovely Land, and now, he even had everything that people could only dream of having.

[If you move north, you might affect the situation in the north. As of right now, everything is still under my control, but if we lose the south, Wild Wolves will move north to Beijing without fear. At that time, I might not be able to control the situation.] Happy’s words got rid of Phantasmal Shadow’s thoughts of heading north.

Once he ended his conversation with Phantasmal Shadow, Happy finally had the time to turn around and handle the Demonic Venomous Larvae that had been chasing after him tirelessly.

The piercing baby’s wail rushed into his ears like waves.

But what puzzled Happy was that in the past, those cries could more or less affect his movement speed, but now, when he heard it, he felt no pressure from it whatsoever.

Happy guessed that it might because of his Willpower.

Those whose Willpower was strong would not be affected in the slightest by sound waves, no matter what form that came at them.

‘It’s a pity that I’m not completely immune to Lion’s Roar.’

While he thought of this, Happy stopped resolutely and turned around.

Whoosh!

The Demonic Venomous Larvae was very fast. It’s sharp wings sliced through the air soundlessly, and it brought with it a presence that could tear apart the person in front of it easily.

Happy said nothing about that.

A few months ago, Happy would still not dare to fight head-on against a Demonic Venomous Larvae at such close proximity when he was in Ghost’s Domain. In fact, he would not even let this ugly thing get too close to him.

But ever since he mastered Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic improved his strength from its very essence, his spiritual senses had long since become abnormal. Even if the Demonic Venomous Larvae was at the beginning stage of Myth Realm, its speed and tricks were no longer enough to let it escape from Happy’s sights.

He moved on the ground.

Whoosh!

The Demonic Venomous Larvae could not stop in time and charged past Happy. Its wings could only cut apart the afterimage Happy left on the spot.

However, the poisonous insect’s reaction was incredibly quick. It turned its baby face around and silently spat out a mouthful of green poison.

Whoosh!

It flapped its wings, and at the same time the Demonic Venomous Larvae spat out the poisonous liquid, it flew to the side in a very agile fashion. Its sharp wings and terrifying mouth locked down on Happy once more.

“Pretty interesting.”

The poisonous liquid destroyed the afterimage Happy left on the spot. Happy’s movements were already so fast that the poisonous insect could not react to it.

But when Happy saw the Demonic Venomous Larvae fly at him again, he did not continue wasting time with the insect. He focused, and a powerful presence descended from the sky.

“Roar!”

A mighty dragon roar rose.

A green dragon’s body came down instantly.

The Demonic Venomous Larvae was astonishingly quick. At the moment Dragon Coil descended around Happy, it had already arrived in front of Happy. Its round eyes shone with a savage and brutal light.

Just when the Demonic Venomous Larvae believed that it would definitely tear apart its target this time, it only managed to crush Happy’s afterimage again, and it rushed into the green dragon’s body.

At that moment, something abnormal happened.

Happy had only performed a simple shift in his position after he activated Dragon Coil and moved three feet backward.

But the Demonic Venomous Larvae which should have torn Happy apart looked as if it crashed into a wall. The green dragon’s body tightened reflexively.

“Ah!!!”

The Demonic Venomous Larvae’s wails became even more piercing.

Happy watched while he was less than three feet from the insect, and a hint of a smile rose on his lips.

Whoosh!
