Sword Among Us Chapter 1236

Chapter 1236 - “卍”, Hidden Strength

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Happy’s firm words caused Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao to be shocked. Even Ji Feng was shocked. They did not know why Happy was suddenly so confident in Whirlwind Young Li.

Happy ignored all the gazes trained on him.

Naturally, he would not tell them that this was because he practiced Shifting Stars in the other dimension, and he had a great understanding toward how powerful Shifting Stars was when it came to group fights and whittling down the enemy’s strength nonstop.

Star Sucking Great Skill could strengthen Shifting Stars!

Right now, Whirlwind Wind Young Li was basically facing off three people whose qi realms were weaker than him, because he was at Myth Realm. His situation now was different from when he faced Silver Wolf and the others.

It would definitely not be difficult for him to win in this competition.

Now, it all depended on whether Whirlwind Young Li could discover the key in this!

Whirlwind Young Li’s expression became much more solemn when he faced the pressure from the three supreme-class elites at the top of the tower. This pressure was even greater than the time he faced dozens of supreme-class elites on his own just now.

Over this period of time, he had investigated Wind Void and Orochimaru’s battles as well. He knew just how skilled they were, and he might not be able to win against them in one-to-one fights. Right now, even if he was an entire qi realm above them, he would not dare to be careless when he faced these three powerful enemies at the same time. He knew where his current strength came from, and he was unlike Wind Void and Orochimaru, who had become famous for years.

Whirlwind Young Li did not have the fighting instincts that Happy had, but he knew that his starting point was lower than the people here, and he also knew about the difference in their strengths. Before the tournament, he had spent time to gain a thorough understanding of each of his opponents, and he was definitely the most cautious person among the one hundred supreme-class elites. He was also the most serious of them all.

The advantage in Star Sucking Great Skill was that it could allow the user to use an enemy’s qi as his own. He could turn it into his own weapon, but it also had a weakness.

Once the user became used to the powerful strength but did not have any target that could provide him with qi, he would be reduced to his original strength, and he would be thrown off course.

Even though Whirlwind Young Li was confident that he had temporarily obtained a certain advantage, the qi he spent would not recover, and if he could not return to Myth Realm, he would not be able to last for long.

Discreetly, Whirlwind Young Li cast his gaze on the plate that was suspended behind the three people.

Whoosh!

He tapped against the slab, and Whirlwind Young Li instantly came to a decision. With an indomitable spirit, he charged to the trio.

Reverse Stars!

When Whirlwind Young Li attacked, he used the most common attack in Shifting Stars. But Wind Void, Orochimaru, and the Shaolin disciple were all shocked. They did not dare to clash head on against him and avoided him like the plague.

With Shifting Stars serving as his main martial art, his moves all contained a powerful suction force, and he could discreetly affect his opponents’ reaction speed and movement speed.

If they were involved in a fight with Whirlwind Young Li, they would definitely suffer a great loss, because they would be fighting against him in Inaction Realm!

The trio’s strengths were about the same. Anyone who fought against Whirlwind Young Li ahead of the others might be taken advantage of by the other two.

After all, the remaining four people were all powerful enemies. They had to be very careful with each step they took. If they made the slightest mistake, they might miss the chance to get Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy and leave with regrets.

The three of them might have formed a temporary alliance, but they did not trust each other to the point that they would use their lives to protect each other.

When they saw how aggressive Whirlwind Young Li attacked, none of them were willing to be the first to lead the attack.

All three of them retreated in different directions.

While they retreated, they attacked the negate the power in Reverse Stars.

In tacit agreement, the three of them had decided to let Whirlwind Young Li decide who would be the first he would attack. He would be the one to choose who would be the unlucky soul to face him.

The trio’s retreat caught Whirlwind Young Li slightly by surprise, but he was delighted by it. He charged straight to the retreating Shaolin disciple.

The Shaolin disciple had puttee wrapped around his legs. He was a handsome man, and he looked young. Since he managed to fight on equal grounds with Orochimaru, he had already been acknowledged as one of the four people who could snatch the golden plate.

But when he saw Whirlwind Young Li charge at him with an aggressive momentum that came cutting into his face, the Shaolin disciple’s face turned slightly pale.

Now, he finally knew why Orochimaru and Wind Void did not fight for the center spot with him.

But it was already too late for regrets.

He could no longer retreat.

He had to fight!

“…Amitabha!”

As he uttered the mantra of the Buddhists, he made space shake. The Shaolin disciple’s shiny head suddenly shone with a bright light!

A golden layer of paint seemed to have appeared on his face. His face turned stiff and expressionless, and his powerful qi was instantly absorbed into his body.

He stood still and faced Whirlwind Young Li with a mighty and indomitable spirit.

‘I knew it. That guy has been hiding his strength, just like me.’

When Orochimaru saw the astonishing change in the Shaolin disciple, he felt just as threatened by him as he did with Whirlwind Young Li. His heart sank, and he felt lucky.

Wind Void’s expression remained just as callous. It was as if there was nothing in the world that could make her change her expression.

“Golden Arhat Bell!”

Wandering Know-it-all had an expression of disbelief on the stage for the hosts. It was as if he had seen something incredibly shocking. He stood up in spite of himself and blurted out these words.

Happy’s expression changed a little. He cast a glance at Wandering Know-it-all through the corner of his eyes, and there was an attentive look on his face.

Wandering Know-it-all was a mighty person, and there were few things in the Chinese server that could make him lose his composure. By the looks of it, this Shaolin disciple whose background remained a mystery was not someone easy to deal with.

Boom!

In an instant, a shocking boom rose from the tower. Golden light spilled out in all directions. Even Happy’s spirit sense was unable to get to the top of the tower, and he did not know what had happened.

Bang!

As a dazzling golden light that spread to a large area appeared, a gray figure was flung off the top of the tower at an astonishing speed.

This time, this figure’s situation was different from the other participants.

This gray figure only started falling when he was flung 325 feet horizontally from the tower. When he was still plunging down, he was declared to have been disqualified.

“Is that?!”

“Young Li.”

From the moment the gray figure was sent flying off by the golden light, Happy scowled. In an instant, disbelief shone in his eyes.

Since he had spirit sense, he could clearly see the final change that occurred when the golden light exploded.

The Shaolin disciple, to whom Wandering Know-it-all had declared practiced the Golden Arhat Bell, executed a golden symbol shaped like ‘卍’.

Even Whirlwind Young Li, who was at Myth Realm and had Shifting Stars with him, could not handle the attack, and he was sent flying.

But that was not all.

Whirlwind Young Li had all his meridian systems crushed, and before he landed on the ground, he died. Even Happy could tell that the Shaolin disciple did not have any mercy when he executed that palm strike. All he had was a monstrous ruthlessness and cold will.

Silence reigned.

The Shaolin disciple remained on the top of the tower, and the golden paint on his skin slowly faded away. In its place was an incredibly pale hue.

However, right now, as they looked at the Shaolin disciple, not only did the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience seats look shocked, even the people on the stage for the hosts and Wind Void as well as Orochimaru, who remained on the tower, looked shocked and wary.

This result was simply against their expectations.

Whirlwind Young Li had won against dozens of supreme-class elites with his own power, and he was already stronger than the current supreme-class elites in the game. He had even shown that he was currently moving up the ranks to join Happy and Evil Emperor, but he was killed by this Shaolin disciple whose name they did not even know…

At that moment, no else dared to underestimate him.

Orochimaru had a solemn expression.

Even if he had been underestimating this Shaolin disciple just now, he did not expect that he had been hiding such a powerful trump card under his sleeves.

Wind Void’s eternally cold expression finally showed signs of melting slightly. She stared at the Shaolin disciple, who was now weakened because he used too much qi, and she pursed her lips tightly.

Wind Void had never reacted this way when she faced Whirlwind Young Li or Orochimaru…

But now, the strength the Shaolin disciple displayed had indeed surpassed her expectations, and it gave her quite a bit of shock. This was the first time her belief that she would definitely seize the title of the strongest in the tournament was shakened!

On the stage for the hosts, Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao had practically gone slack-jawed.

Before this, they had been shocked by how much Happy was willing to throw into this tournament and were also shocked by how Happy was willing to offer divine weapons, demon vessels, and legacies that amazed the people.

Not long ago, they had thought that there were groups of really talented people hidden in Lovely Land.

There was Howling Moon, who had easily stood out with a party of five among multiple enemies, and they became the first to get the plate.

Then, there was Silver Wolf and his party, who had used the might of their sword formation to easily kill dozens of supreme-class elites. It had only appeared for a moment, but they would definitely not forget the power in the Four Matchless Sword Formation!

After that, it was Whirlwind Young Li, who had used his own strength to defeat dozens of supreme-class elites and even destroyed Silver Wolf and his party, who had the Four Matchless Sword Formation with them!

Happy had already managed to earn big with the talented people Lovely Land had uncovered.

But they did not expect that another elite showed up and struck them dumb with amazement. With just one blow, he defeated Whirlwind Young Li, and everyone was caught off guard.

Even if Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao were numb from sitting, they still jumped up from their seats because of this shocking event.

They also became incredibly regretful. If they had known that there were so many talented people in the game, they should have organized grander martial arts tournaments as well.

At the very least, Lovely Land would not have gotten all of them in one go, and they would not have so many amazing supreme-class elites show up in one single event!

With Whirlwind Young Li and the Shaolin disciple joining their sects, it would not be impossible for them to become the second Lovely Land!

While these two were filled with regret, they could not help but shift their attention to Wind Void and Orochimaru.

They could no longer withstand any more shock.

If Wind Void and Orochimaru displayed similar strength as well, Lovely Land would truly have gotten itself all of the supreme-class elites in the Chinese server.

At that time, they would be unable to help themselves but organize a martial arts tournament as well!

However, these two people did not know that while they were busy being envious of Happy, Happy had been observing that scene repeatedly with his spirit sense.

‘The Shaolin Temple ultimate technique, Buddha’s Palm?’

The palm strike just now seemed like it.

There was no mistaking the 卍 sign!

But what puzzled Happy was the killing intent and brutality that only appeared for an instant.

“Ji Feng…”

“Sect Master?” Ji Feng was startled out of his daze by Happy, but there was still delight on his face. “This time, we managed to pick up treasure!”

“…Tell him all that you know about him,” Happy calmly ordered. He did not mention the trace of unease hidden in his heart.

“Understood!”
