Sword Among Us Chapter 983

Chapter 983 - Setting up Rules

From the dazzling afterimages Happy left behind in the crowd, the confidence in the Class One Hall members instantly melted away, and they fell completely silent.

Wave-like Subtle Steps was so fast that no one could capture Happy’s true location, and it also allowed Happy to easily move through cracks, largely limiting Class One Hall’s abilities in intercepting him.

They had too many people on their side, and they hesitated in attacking because they were worried about hurting their own friends. Hence, they did not dare to readily attack at all.

In just the blink of an eye, quite a number of Class One Hall members who had not managed to activate their body fortifications had already had their throats slit when Happy moved past them.

Even though Happy’s control over Wave-like Subtle Steps was still not good enough, the greatest advantage in Great Demonic World Destruction Art was that he did not need Wind Spirit Spin to be able to execute the same vicious AOE effects Wind Spirit Spin brought. Hence, his lack of mastery in Wave-like Subtle Steps was not a problem for him in killing those Class One Hall members.

“Spread out! Hurry up and spread out!” Sealed in Heart shouted in a rather pathetic manner.

However, before the Class One Hall members could make the right moves to go up against Happy’s attacks, at least one hundred of the dense group of Class One Hall members who filled Sky Demon Branch had died.

Wherever the sword glares surrounded by black flames went, many people would be killed straightaway without even knowing what had happened. Then, they would be sent directly to the cycle of reincarnation before they were revived.

When Sealed in Heart and the rest finally shouted at the group to spread out, the Class One Hall members then spread out all corners of the branch in panic. They no longer gathered in one place.

Yet even so, at that moment, there were already more than two hundred corpses lying on the floor in Sky Demon Branch.

“Where is he?!”

Right when the people inside the branch stood with their backs against the wall, they noticed that they could not see Happy at all within their field of vision.

After being stunned for a moment by this revelation, they suddenly heard furious and surprised shouts come from outside the building.

Sealed in Heart and the vice branch masters had their expressions drastically change.

“Darn it!”

“He went out!”

The group held their breaths and jumped to the walls so that they could see what was going on.

When they looked down, they saw something that made them so frustrated that they nearly vomited blood.

Sky Demon Branch was surrounded so tightly by Class One Hall members that nothing could slip through them, but in the span of just two breaths, Happy had already pushed down a group of them with his ambush.

The Class One Hall members who did not know what was going on just continued moving toward the scene of the accident and surrounded Happy in layers. They crowded together, but while they gave off an shocking and imposing air, the people outside the encirclement did not know what was going on at all inside the encirclement.

“Kill him!”

“Don’t let him run!”

“Darn it! Even if we fall, we have to push him to his death!”

The Class One Hall members outside the encirclement started making a ruckus in frenzy.

But Happy moved as if he was in an area without any living person. He just zipped back and forth between the gaps of the crowd.

The sword glares surrounded by black flames grew larger at a maddening degree, and it easily cut through the Class One Hall members who did not see it or did not even know that the enemy had already gotten closer to them.

“Spread out!”

When Sealed in Heart and his vice branch masters saw this scene when they came out of Sky Demon Branch, they felt as if their hearts were about to leap out from their throats, and they shouted hastily.

“Spread out, all of you!”

However, the cries for murder outside were already deafening to the ears. The people who surrounded Sky Demon Branch just kept moving closer to Happy, and because of that, Sealed in Heart and the other vice branch masters’ voices were incredibly soft compared to their shouts.

Besides, even if they started spreading out at that moment, it would still be impossible for the people in the innermost layer of the encirclement to escape.

The sword glares with the black flames continued harvesting lives madly in the crowd, and Sealed in Heart could only watch groups of his friends instantly fall limp while they were lost in the chaos. As he saw this from his position from above, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

The path Happy chose for his slaughter was also rather brilliant.

He did not stay in one spot when he killed.

All along the way, he used Wave-like Subtle Steps and moved in an S-shape in the crowd while he killed the Class One Hall members. Hence, he did not leave behind a large area of corpses on the ground.

The Class One Hall members did not notice that they were already suffering devastating losses. Even though they occasionally stepped on a few corpses, they did not pay too much attention to it.

However, as time passed, more people heard Sealed in Heart’s shouts and removed themselves from the battlefield. The land full of corpses was also displayed clearly at that moment. When the Class One Hall members saw this, they felt a chill coming straight from within their bones.

Corpses… there were corpses everywhere.

Even though quite a number of people had already got themselves out of the battlefield, the place where Happy stood was not too empty.

Corpses were everywhere.

When they cast a glance at the area, they found that there should be around five hundred dead bodies on the ground.

Sealed in Heart and the three vice branch masters found that their hands were now covered in sweat as they continued holding their weapons. They could sense that the awe-inspiring air they previously had was swiftly fading away, and many people now had fear and surprise reflected on their faces.

The Class One Hall members who were the closest to Happy gradually noticed a huge change in the area.

In the beginning, the area was crowded, and they could not even breathe properly, but now, the air had suddenly become much clearer, and the space between them had also grown wider.

When they turned their heads around, the sight nearly scared them out of their wits.

Bodies of the dead could be seen strewn all over the ground everywhere around them.

The group of people looked as if they had been fighting in a mass grave.

A lot of their friends were already dozens of feet away from them, and they had their arrows nocked on their bows while they targeted the place.

“What’s going on?”

Right when they felt diffident, their morale was completely lost.

Happy seized the chance to kill the remaining dozens of people without hesitation. He then activated Wave-like Subtle Steps without stopping and rushed into the crowd again.

“Fire! Use hidden weapons against him! Lock him down using long-range weapons!”

Sealed In Heart could be considered to be trying everything in desperation at that point.

When he saw Happy activating Wave-like Subtle Steps and bringing out a series of dazzling afterimages to quickly approach the area, he quickly ordered his members to open fire.

But Happy smiled coldly.

Unfortunately, if he had been fighting against Class One Hall before he fought against Wild Wolves, when he faced hidden weapons that filled up an entire area and attacked him indiscriminately, he might be a little wary, but now, he had a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels with him, and with Indestructible Body as well as Tendon Changing Classic, it would be difficult for normal hidden weapons to damage him. In fact, his posture would not even be shaken.

Wave-like Subtle Steps allowed him to easily move past most of the hidden weapons, and as he withstood some of the firepower, he rushed into the main force right under the Class One Hall members’ shocked gazes once more.

This time, even though his attack this time was not as easy as the first ambush, wherever Happy went, very few people could fight against him. Those Class One Hall members practically reacted the same way.

They ran, and they fled as far away from him as possible.

Thousands of Class One Hall members had their formation completely destroyed because of Happy’s attack. Many of them fled helter-skelter like animals running away from danger, and the area descended into utter chaos for a period of time.

“That should be about one thousand now.”

After killing for some time, Happy saw the Class One Hall members running into the distance. His gaze turned cold, and he rushed back into Sky Demon Branch.

It was indeed very troublesome when there were a lot of people in the area.

Just chasing after them would make him waste a lot of time.

He would need to spend a long time to kill thousands of people, and if they were determined to run, it would be even more difficult to kill them.

When Happy saw the Class One Hall members running further and further away, thereby not giving him the chance to kill them, he did not persist in trying to kill them either.

He just went to destroy Sky Demon Branch’s foundation right before thousands of Class One Hall members. He wanted to destroy the branch so that Dream Clouds could temporarily wake up from whatever dream she had.

Of course, it was thanks to Wave-like Subtle Steps and Ten True Dragon Styles that Happy could do all this, because they were ultimate techniques that did not require leveling up to become stronger. He could use them right after understanding them, and this was the main reason behind why Happy could rely on them to fight against Sky Demon Branch and also why he could produce such an effect in such an abrupt manner.

If there were few people in the area and they had similarly extraordinary dodging skills, Wave-like Subtle Steps might not be able to produce such an astonishing effect.

“Darn it!”

“The bastard has started attacking our foundation!”

The Class One Hall members did not dare chase after Happy into Sky Demon Branch, but it was not difficult to determine what Happy was doing based on the sounds of something powerful striking against something solid came out frequently from the building.

“Branch master!”

Quite a number of people looked at Sealed in Heart and hoped for him to give an order so that they could save the situation.

After all, Sky Demon Branch was their pride and joy. In fact, it was Class One Hall’s pride and joy.

If it were destroyed in Happy’s hands, not only would all Sky Demon Branch disciples be humiliated, it would even turn into something that would humiliate all Class One Hall members!

“Get on the wall and use arrows to fight against Happy.”

Sealed in Heart also knew that once Sky Demon Branch was over, his days of glory would also come to an end, which was why he gave his order without hesitation.

“You are not allowed to enter the branch. When Happy comes out, retreat immediately!”

“Understood!”

The group answered to him with a loud clamor.

But when they went to carry out the order, they noticed a fatal part to the plan.

The nearest wall to the foundation of the branch had already surpassed the distance in which an arrow could travel!

The Class One Hall members must enter Sky Demon Branch if they wanted to attack Happy!

But Happy had given a lot of thought in choosing the location, and it was ingenious. He managed to hide himself behind the wall of the meeting hall, and he used his sword glares to continuously attack the foundation.

In just a few minutes, the foundation started showing faint cracks.

Even if the Class One Hall members entered Sky Demon Branch, their arrows could not threaten Happy in the slightest, because after forcibly piercing through the wall, the power of the arrows would be reduced by a large margin.

Besides…

“Get another group of our friends over here!”

Sealed in Heart became truly angry. When he saw Happy continuously attacking the foundation, he mobilized a large group of members from outside regardless of all costs.

The dense wave of arrows practically overturned the wall in the meeting hall.

“You’re just asking for death!”

Happy shot out of the meeting hall suddenly, like a flash of lightning.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

Half of the dozens of feet between them was instantly gone.

A large group of Class One Hall members were instantly terrified. Without another word, they turned tail and ran, but unfortunately, it was impossible for the hundreds of people in the hall to get out of the narrow gate. All of them jumped up the air, and the situation was incredibly magnificent.

‘This is bad!’ When he saw this, Sealed in Heart noticed that the situation was bad once more.

At the same time uneasiness flashed in his mind, tragedy struck once more!

“Great Demonic World Destruction Art!”

Happy chased after him from the back. He drew his longsword, and black threads intersected with each other. A huge net made of black flames descended from the sky.

If this were any other moment, this AOE attack might not be able to be effective against Class One Hall elites.

But once Happy noticed that these people saw all the people he killed outside and noticed that they were now like terrified birds, he did not have the thought of turning around to fight against them, because he was certain that they would not turn around and counterattack.

Just as he expected, practically all Class One Hall members reacted the same way. They activated their body fortifications and charged out without slowing down in the slightest. They intended to withstand a round of Happy’s attacks before they rushed out of the hall.

‘How unfortunate for you.’

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of dull thuds rose nonstop.

Class One Hall looked as if they crashed into a wall. Their true qi froze, and most people were viciously thrown back into the hall.
