Sword Among Us Chapter 786

Chapter 786 - Qi Rushes to the Stars in Heaven

Boom!

Right when Responsible Hero admitted to defeat, the group of martial artists in the alley sucked in sharp breaths at the same time.

It was as if they just heard that the apocalypse had arrived. They widened their eyes, and their expressions were full of disbelief.

‘He’s Ximen Chuixue’s successor, a legendary elite who defeated One Emperor with just one sword strike!’

Even if he could not defeat Happy, and even if Happy had easily received the sword draw that One Emperor and Barren Murderer could not receive, Responsible Hero should not be intimidated by Happy, and it was impossible for him to admit defeat before Happy even attacked.

This was too absurd!

The martial artists in the alley who originally placed endless expectations on Responsible Hero were completely dumbfounded when they heard Responsible Hero take the initiative to admit defeat.

“What?!” Dream Clouds had just received a messenger pigeon an elder sent to her from another member. Her expression changed while she was in the hall prison within Class One Hall’s headquarters. “Happy’s in Beijing? And he went for Responsible Hero?”

At the same time, Blood Robes came out from a prison cell next door. In his hands he held a messenger pigeon he just received. He said while he walked out, “Barren Murderer, that brat, he actually lost in his challenge. He can’t even receive one single sword slash from Responsible Hero… That boy is indeed extraordinary…”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Dream Clouds’ expression was incredibly sour. “What’s wrong?”

“Look at this.”

Dream Clouds quietly handed the letter over to Blood Robes.

When Blood Robes read the contents, he immediately sucked in a sharp breath. His gaze turned fierce, and his tone was dark when he spoke.

“Should we attack?”

Blood Robes was not to be blamed for being so reckless.

Right now, they were in Beijing. Aside from Dream Clouds, Barren Murderer, and Blood Robes, there was also a group of Dragon Sect elites hidden among them, along with Drifting Sword, who joined their alliance. They could be said to have an incredibly grand lineup. Happy had appeared alone in Beijing without knowing their strength, and this was the perfect chance for them to attack him.

“Let me think about it.” Dream Clouds frowned, and thousands of thoughts instantly flashed in her mind.

Dark killing intent enveloped Blood Robes’ handsome face, and his voice was deep as well as impatient. “Hall master, we have plenty of people in Beijing, and Mu Clan will not dare do anything even if we kill Happy. Two days later, all sects and branches will be protected by the imperial court, and we cannot be attacked. Happy can’t do anything to us either! This is a chance once in a blue moon, if we miss it, it won’t come again!”

“Don’t be so hasty.” Dream Clouds’ expression was stern. She raised her hand resolutely and stopped Blood Robes urging her to make her decision. “Happy should have come to Beijing because of the quests from Emperor’s Announcement. He will not leave immediately. We’re not in a hurry to act rashly. Besides, we don’t know how many people Happy brought over either.”

She stopped talking for a moment before she quickly gave her orders. “Have some people keep an eye on Happy. Also, have Langye send Embroidered Uniform Guards to keep watch over the streets in the city and help us check whether there are any Mu Clan members who show up in Beijing.”

“Alright. I’m on it.” Blood Robes nodded in excitement and left.

At that moment, another messenger pigeon landed in Dream Clouds’ hands. It could be nothing else but the report about Happy and Responsible Hero’s fight. But she was surprised.

‘The fight ended so soon?’

Dream Clouds did not want to remain idle any longer. She quickly spread out the letter.

When she read it, she flew into a rage. With a whoosh, the flames that sprung up from her palm immediately burned the letter in her hand into a crisp.

“Responsible Hero, some player you are… and here I was, hoping that you will become the strongest player in the Chinese server. I didn’t expect that you would disappoint me so great. You don’t even have the courage to fight against Happy.” Her final sentence was hissed through gritted teeth.

*****

Happy watched Responsible Hero while he was drenched in sweat and was filled with confusion in the alley. A flash of pity and compassion shone for a moment in his eyes. “Even though your sword draw has already surpassed the limits of the human body and normal elites will find it hard to fight against it, if something is strong, it will break easily. Your sword draw is too sharp and fierce, and its weakness is very obvious.”

In truth, Happy had long since noticed that while Responsible Hero’s sword technique was very fierce, all his confidence was focused on that one skill, and once he suffered a setback, it will be very difficult for him to rebuild his confidence.

Although that one sword slash gathered together countless blood, sweat, and tears from Responsible Hero, if he had to reach this stage within a short one year, it will be very difficult for him to take care of other aspects.

Happy could tell Responsible Hero’s weakness with just one glance.

Defense.

Responsible Hero practiced the sword draw day by day diligently, and he absolutely had no experience in defense, neither did he practice a high-tier body fortification.

Even though his abilities in his sword draw was something that even One Emperor admitted defeat to willingly and Happy had to use three ultimate techniques to fend against it, once someone saw through his weakness, Responsible Hero was not difficult to deal with.

The system notification came.

“Ding!

“Defeat Responsible Hero in a duel! Obtained 100 World of Martial Arts Reputation Points!”

Boom!

A golden yellow flag rose from the ground before it swiftly vanished.

“Thank you for your guidance.” Responsible Hero also noticed his weaknesses and what he was lacking from this duel. Once he listened to Happy’s words, he nodded and picked up his longsword from the ground. “From today onwards, I will continue to practice my sword draw, and one day, when I’ve perfected my skills, I will come to you again for a duel!”

As he spoke, he had already become calm once more, and his words were said with a firm tone.

Happy nodded.

After practicing his sword for an entire year, this boy’s temperament had already become so tenacious that it was terrifying. He was so young… His successes in the future might not lose to him and One Emperor.

“I’ll see you soon.”

When he saw Responsible Hero get up and was prepared to return to the courtyard, Happy suddenly remembered his other goal for coming here, and he quickly called out to the boy, “Wait.”

Responsible Hero came to a swift stop, and he turned around without saying a word.

“In truth, one of the reasons why I came here was to witness your sword draw, but there is also another reason behind my visit. I’m doing a quest right now, and I need to visit your master, Senior Ximen.” Right when he finished speaking, not only were the martial artists in the area shocked, even Responsible Hero was taken aback.

“You want to visit my master?’

“That’s right. Could you tell him about me? Just tell him that I’ve come on orders from the faction leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, and I’m here to talk a little with him.”

“Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?” Responsible Hero committed this name to memory and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go inside and ask, but I can’t promise you that my master will agree to it. Wait a little.”

Once the door was closed, it was soon opened. Responsible Hero cast Happy a strange glance and made a gesture for him to enter. He lowered his voice and gave him a reminder. “My master didn’t actually agree to talk to you, but once he heard that I lost to you, he decided to meet you. You’ll have to seize the chance yourself.”

Happy quickly wrapped his fist in his palm and entered.

In shock, the group of players watched Happy and Responsible Hero enter the alley. Then, once Responsible Hero closed the door, their curiosity became even greater, and many people were reluctant to leave. Messenger pigeons flew out of Beijing one after another!

In the courtyard of another grand mansion in Beijing was the middle-aged Wandering Know-it-all, who was dressed in a long white robe and looked like an immortal. He sat upright in front of an eight trigrams taichi chart that was spread in front of him, and he had Universe Secrets Inkstone in hand. He frowned while he stared at the items on the eight trigrams chart, and he frowned even further.

“Two million Chinese soldiers and one million Mongolian armored cavaliers. Our strength is actually equally matched. This is strange. Evil King Shi Zhixuan, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, and Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan… these big fishes all show signs that they will run wild in the battlefield. Their qi rushed to the stars in heaven. Their signs of life and death are in chaos, and I cannot predict their survival.”
