Sword Among Us Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157 - You’re Just a Merchant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In truth, while he was on his way to West Region, Happy never stopped sparring against Thousand-faced Human Fox. Full Winds in Long Skies reached the sixth realm because of it, and its power had metamorphosed and reached new heights!

The profound secret contained within each realm he increased for Full Winds in Long Skies had allowed him to increase his number of attacks, but once he reached the sixth realm, he gained the ability to perfectly fuse all five attacks from the technique. They would be attached to the original attack he launched, and the attack would seem completely normal, but it would play the song of death!

Even the elites at the peak of Myth Realm would either be dead or injured if they suffered a full-powered strike from Happy while they were completely unprepared for it.

This was basically a skill that allowed him to combine six attacks into one, it already contained the essence of an attack from someone in the dao of heaven!

It was precisely because of the increase in strength in Full Winds in Long Skies that Happy was not worried that anyone would be able to see through his attacks.

At an unimaginable speed, he rammed into the Master of Gu Poison with no difficulty, because he was not prepared for it. His defenses were broken, and he heavily injured this elite at the dao of heaven who had Gu insects who were also at the dao of heaven.

Bang!

The table, which was filled with alcohol and metal pots, fell on the floor with a bang. The Master of Gu Poison had been satisfied with himself just now, but now, his body was a mess, covered in food and alcohol. Not only was he no longer imposing, there was also a bloody hole on his chest. Red liquid flowed out of it.

“You… Just who are you?!”

The Master of Gu Poison pushed himself off the floor with the help of two shocked red-clad Lamas. He stared at the white-clad young man in front of him in shock. At that moment, with his longsword in hand, the young man looked in the incarnation of a demon in West Region. Even his voice had started quivering, and he did not even notice it.

“…”

Hu Baiwan might have stood up in a relaxed manner and moved to the side while he was protected by his servants and the red-clad Lamas, but when he saw how quickly the Master of Gu Poison lost, he could not help but feel surprised as well. He frowned so much that his eyebrows were almost touching each other.

The inn fell silent once more.

The chaotic situation was temporarily controlled because of the Master of Gu Poison’s swift defeat.

Whoosh!

Once the Murong Clan’s fighters saw that Hu Baiwan’s greatest fighter had been defeated and saw that the red-clad Lamas had quickly returned to protect Hu Baiwan, they stopped fighting as well, and in respect, they cast a glance at the white-clad young man who had managed to gain control of the situation with just one slash. Without a single word, they gathered behind him.

“…”

Hu Baiwan and his men had their expressions turn even more stern and nervous.

The tides had instantly turned!

Right now, everyone had their gazes gathered on the white-clad teenager. Even though he was rather slender, when he had his sword in hand, he gave off an incredibly inscrutable feeling.

It was the same for Osaya. She also had disbelief appear on her face. She could not believe that the Master of Gu Poison, who had once killed someone in the dao of heaven, would instantly be defeated by the white-clad young man!

“Hu Baiwan has run into a wall this time.” Phantasmal Shadow stood in the left side hall and sighed. When she looked at the white-clad young man, her gaze became even more grave.

At that moment, the white-clad young man already had the titles of “Invincible” and “Not be enemies with” attached to him in her mind.

He was a peerless swordsman who could instantly injure a powerful person in the dao of heaven. No one in the inn could possibly stand against him!

‘What should we do if he intends to occupy the desert palace, just like Hu Baiwan?’

This was currently the worry that plagued Phantasmal Shadow and all the players in the inn.

“Hu Baiwan.”

Ever since the Master of Gu Poison was instantly defeated and was severely injured, the inn fell silent for more than twenty seconds. Then, the white-clad young man finally spoke.

His expression was cold, and his voice indifferent. “I told you before that you’re just a merchant.” While he spoke, he walked and slowly drew close to Hu Baiwan while treating the red-clad Lamas as if they did not exist.

The red-clad Lamas looked grave. They stared at the demon in front of them, and as the white-clad teenager drew close, they retreated.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

The Myth Realm elites pushed against each other and moved back.

These people did not have the courage to fight against this great existence who had the power to severely injure the Master of Gu Poison with just one hit. In fact, even Hu Baiwan did not immediately order them to fight.

The Master of Gu Poison was heavily injured. Even though he could continue summoning Gu insects, he was in a situation where he was in danger of losing his life. He did not choose to continue provoking this terrifying and young swordsman. He pushed down on the puncture on his chest and sensibly chose to not make a sound at the back of the crowd.

Hu Baiwan swept his gaze over the Master of Gu Poison.

“Osaya,” Hu Baiwan said with slight panic in his voice.

“Sigh…”

While airborne, the Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Order understood the meaning behind Hu Baiwan’s rather calm and not quite desperate call. Like the wind, she appeared in front of the white-clad young man and stopped him from moving forward.

“…”

At the moment Osaya went up against the white-clad young, the atmosphere in Dragon Gate Inn froze once more, and the people could not help but begin looking forward to the fight.

They did not know whether the scene just now would appear once more.

As Osaya stared into the white-clad young man’s indifferent and even aloof gaze, Osaya cast a glance at the Murong Clan elites behind him, and she sighed softly.

“I owe him a favor.”

She did not intentionally soften her voice. It entered the ears of all those in the inn clearly.

An elite in the dao of heaven was compromising?

Phantasmal Shadow and the others did not appear to be too shocked.

To them, the white-clad teenager was just too terrifying. Even if Osaya had been able to suppress the three Murong elites who were at the peak of Myth Realm, it was impossible for her to be the white-clad young man’s opponent. Even though Happy did not believe in it himself.

Happy was fully confident right now.

The silence just now was because he was waiting for the thirty-second cooldown to be over. Right now, the cooldown was over. He could activate Full Winds in Long Skies and Dragon Swings Its Tail at any moment. Happy was confident that he could face any elite at the dao of heaven, and he could also temporarily suppress them, even deal quite a lot of damage to them.

That was why when he heard Osaya practically offering a compromise, Happy did not show any intention to show her mercy, even if he could. He retorted coolly, “What does this have to do with me?”

Osaya frowned a little. Her eyes were beautiful, sexy, and wild. “Your sword technique is indeed powerful, but I’m different from him. You won’t be able to win against me.”

Osaya had extraordinary observational skills. She could tell that Happy resorted to trickery to win.

But Happy, too, understood Osaya’s weakness. He said without batting an eyelid, “It doesn’t matter whether I can win against you. What’s important is whether I can kill him.”

His cold and confident words were filled with a sharp, domineering air.

Hu Baiwan’s pupils shrank.

Osaya sighed once more. “But what if I manage to convince him to give up on the desert palace?”

“Instead of having someone bear a grudge on me for the rest of his life, it would be better to nip this problem in the bud. What do you think, Osaya?” Happy’s answer caused Osaya, Hu Baiwan, and the other people to have their expressions turn even graver.

“Tell me. What do you want for you to overlook this?”

Hu Baiwan swept his gaze over the white-clad teenager, then at the Murong Clan elites. Suddenly, his scowl faded away. He said, “Since we’re conducting a business here, we should do this in the way of businessmen. How much money do I have to give to buy my life?”

When it came back to business, Hu Baiwan was finally able to regain some of his confidence from the white-clad teenager.

Osaya was stunned.

The group of people in the inn were also stunned.

Things had already progressed to this state, and he was talking about business?

Hu Baiwan wanted to buy his own life?

Phantasmal Shadow and the others giggled softly.

Hu Baiwan might be the richest person in the world and was so rich that his wealth could rival a country, the white-clad young man seemed to have a complicated background as well. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, his family was definitely well-off as well. Hu Baiwan might not be able to buy his life, just as he wished.

But what happened next surprised them. The white-clad young man seemed to be tempted by Hu Baiwan’s suggestion. He raised his chin. “That will depend on what you can give me.”

“Fifty million taels of gold, and ten carts of jewelry!”

As expected of the richest merchant in the world, right when he spoke, he gave a shocking figure. Even when he offered jewelry, he did so in carts.

But the white-clad young man did not even bat an eyelid. He said faintly, “How vulgar.”

Hu Baiwan seemed to have expected he would say that. His eyes sparkled, and he swung his hand. “Ten high-grade divine weapons from West Region and two chests of master-grade armor passed down through the generations!”

To protect his own life, Hu Baiwan did not find it a pity to give up on the treasures he had found from all over the world.

Phantasmal Shadow and the others were shocked when they heard this.

High-grade divine weapons.

Master-grade armor passed down through the generations were also demon vessels. They were items that could only be obtained through very difficult quests.

In other words, the items Hu Baiwan offered were at the same value as the rewards offered from a series of hidden quests.

But Happy was still not satisfied. He flicked his sword lightly. “A sword alone will suffice as my weapon. The rest are just burdens.”

The longsword hummed.

When Hu Baiwan saw that the white-clad young man could not be moved even when he was offered divine weapons and demon vessels, Hu Baiwan knew that he had to offer something that would cost him an arm and a leg now. He gritted his teeth and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll give you three martial art manuals offering ultimate techniques, and I gathered them from all over the world. Each of them can only be learned once a person is at Inaction Realm, and they’re all martial arts that will allow you to enter the dao of heaven!”

Right after he finished speaking, Phantasmal Shadow, Niu Dali, Murong Xun, Thousand-faced Human Fox, and the others were shocked by Hu Baiwan’s huge offer.

All the people in Dragon Gate Inn fell silent.

The sounds of people gulping could be heard.

Many people looked at the white-clad young man with incredibly intense gazes. They looked like they were staring at a major piece of treasure.

At that moment, the white-clad young spoke once more, “Hu Baiwan, your Chinese is pretty good.”

At that moment, many people noticed that Hu Baiwan was actually pretty good at Chinese, but not many people put a lot of attention to this fact. Their attention was placed on the items Hu Baiwan mentioned.

Happy continued speaking, “But if you practice too many martial arts, it might not be necessarily good. I don’t want your money, your divine weapons, and the martial art manuals you found.”

“Then, what do you want?”

Hu Baiwan’s expression changed. Aside from these, he could not bring out anything else that was even more valuable.

“I want Osaya.”

Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Happy raised his hand and pointed at the stunned Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Order.

Hu Baiwan also looked stunned.

“What?”

Happy calmly repeated his previous words, “I said, I want Osaya.”

This time, everyone registered his words. Quite a lot of people put on understanding and strange smiles that all men could understand.

But Osaya was not someone Hu Baiwan could command at will.

“What do you want me to do?” Osaya asked.

“If you want Hu Baiwan to live so that you can return his favour, then move your debt to him on me. From now, you will have nothing to do with Hu Baiwan. But I want you to help me enter the desert palace to retrieve what is inside.”

“Why?” Osaya was puzzled. “With your strength, no one can stop you even if you’re alone.”

Before his voice faded away, a faint but mighty voice suddenly rose outside the inn. “It sure is lively here.”
