Sword Among Us Chapter 1014 - Visitor under the Umbrella, Lion’s Roar

Chapter 1014: Visitor under the Umbrella, Lion’s Roar

At Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters, as the conversation between Wind a.s.sault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow and Cla.s.s One Hall’s spokesperson ended, the two greatest factions of power in the Chinese server began the preliminary stage of attacking each other tentatively to test waters. The atmosphere outside Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters became even more intense.

However, the momentum of attacks from both sides was great, and the scene of a horrifying battle instantly breaking out and Beijing falling to war, which the people expected, did not happen.

Wind a.s.sault Tower might have brought out Demonic Zither Wind Chimes as the vanguard, but Cla.s.s One Hall also had a lot of methods at hand. They had managed to find a pair of elites who knew how to use sound waves to attack from some unknown place, and they used their sound waves to counter Wind Chimes, preventing her from being able to use her skills, and stopping Wind a.s.sault Tower from venturing deep into Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters.

However, the factions of power watching the battle knew that it was not easy to break into Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters.

Even so, as a man in a purplish-black brocade robe slowly walked out of the formation, the thought that Cla.s.s One Hall would be difficult to break, which had just risen in many people’s hearts instantly vanished.

“Perhaps…”

“With those two around, breaking into Cla.s.s One Hall might not be so difficult.”

When they saw One Emperor walk out, everyone realized what he was going to do.

However, Cla.s.s One Hall seemed to have not reacted to the situation. Those two mysterious elites continued standing at the wall, and they showed no signs of backing down as they stared at One Emperor and Wind Chimes, who was surrounded by their s.h.i.+eld formation. They seemed to be waiting for Wind Chimes’ next attack and were prepared to attack at any moment.

“Die!”

When the fatal sword glare shot out of One Emperor’s hands, a black shadow shot out like lightning and stood in front of the two mysterious elites.

With a smug smile, he spread his arms, and a spinning metallic umbrella appeared between them!

Clang! Clang!

Dozens of black sword glares were crushed before the umbrella.

Quite a number of people in the crowd managed to recognize that person based on his weapon.

Five Elements Umbrella!

There was an elite in the game who obtained an incredibly amazing weapon through a hidden chain quest—Five Elements Umbrella, an umbrella created using materials from the five elements. It possessed various powerful abilities, and it had a very powerful defensive ability toward attacks like hidden forces and sword glares.

The person with the umbrella had once lasted for more than four umbrellas while he was encircled and attacked by more than one hundred elites. In the end, he was forced his way out of the encirclement, and he gained the mighty t.i.tle of Visit under the Umbrella because of it.

“Hmph!”

When One Emperor saw that his attack had been blocked, his pride flared, and he moved more than thirty feet forward to execute two more sword slashes to cut through the air.

Boom!

It was as if a black bolt of lightning had descended from the sky.

With one loud sound, One Emperor destroyed the door to Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters with one sword glare.

Visitor under the Umbrella, Pure Wind was sent flying by the hidden force that erupted under his feet.

Thud!

A black sword glare swept at him horizontally.

A red sword gash swiftly appeared at Visitor under the Umbrella’s neck.

Thud!

Since he had already caught One Emperor’s eye, it was impossible for him to come out of the battle unscathed.

But just when One Emperor was prepared to kill the two mysterious elites who used those golden cymbals, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around.

When he looked in the direction behind him, he was just in time to find dozens of people charging into the s.h.i.+eld formation from the street behind them!

This group of people were clearly much stronger than the group he killed before this.

Before they even reached those s.h.i.+eld wielders, their fist-generated wind had already touched them.

Before the Wind a.s.sault Tower elites who surrounded Wind Chimes to protect her could react to the situation, a deafening roar that resembled that of a lion shot out.

“ROAR!”

The wild, primitive, but solemn Lion’s Roar was not something s.h.i.+elds could withstand.

The group of Wind a.s.sault Tower elites were instantly scattered by the abrupt attack, and their neat formation immediately crumbled.

Even Wind Chimes, who had been prepared to play her zither to stop the enemies, staggered because of that Lion’s Roar. Her face turned pale, and she coughed up blood.

Thud thud thud thud!

The group moved quickly, as if they were flying!

Right after that Lion’s Roar attack, the group of Cla.s.s One Hall attackers attacked with their arms and opened the path forcibly. Their gazes were dark.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

A continuous stream of sounds signalling that air was being torn rose.

Since they were in disarray, nearly one hundred Wind a.s.sault Tower elites were instantly killed. A blood path was left behind the Cla.s.s One Hall elites’ wake, and soon, Wind Chimes was exposed to open fire.

“How dare you?!”

A furious roar rose, and a black bolt of lightning arrived.

One Emperor had finally come back at the critical moment.

With one slash, he destroyed multiple hidden weapons that shot at Wind Chimes, and the remaining force in his sword strike allowed his sword glare to charge forward like a rainbow cutting through the skies and send the two people right in front reeling back.

“Retreat!”

“Run!”

This group reacted very quickly.

When they saw that there was no way for them to kill Wind Chimes now, the Lion’s Roar user quickly attacked to open a path. The group turned around and fled to rush out of the territory belonging to Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters.

This ambush came very suddenly.

Many people had their attention attracted by One Emperor and Visitor under the Umbrella, who had fought at the entrance of the headquarters, and they did not notice the change at the back. When they did, this group of people had already rushed back into the crowd in the streets under the protection of other Cla.s.s One Hall elites.

But One Emperor was still the strongest player in the Chinese server. That head-on strike had allowed him to instantly kill the famous player Visitor under the Umbrella, and he was already partially successful in killing all the obstacles at the door.

But Cla.s.s One Hall’s lightning fast attack still kept the eyes fully occupied. They were deeply shocked by it.

Even though their ambush this time did not allow them to kill Wind Chimes, the mysterious Lion’s Roar elite and the hidden weapons elites had instantly killed nearly one hundred Wind a.s.sault Tower elites. The s.h.i.+eld formation that seemed indestructible had actually not managed to block them at all, and the Wind a.s.sault Tower members’ expressions were incredibly dark.

And what they could not accept the most was that these people had come and go in a relaxed manner. Aside from the two people who had been killed by Wind a.s.sault Tower members after they were struck down by One Emperor, the others all retreated to the protected zone under the protection of the other Cla.s.s One Hall members in the street.

Silence fell among them.

Not only were the Wind a.s.sault Tower members gloomy and angry because of this, even One Emperor’s expression was incredibly dark.

An accident had nearly happened just now.

He cast Wind Chimes a glance, and One Emperor’s eyes burned faintly.

This time, he had been given a task by Wandering Know-it-all, and he had promised him that he would prioritize protecting Wind Chimes’ safety!

But during the few minutes since the battle began, Wind Chimes was already attacked twice by Cla.s.s One Hall, and she was even injured and nearly killed.

If he had not reacted quickly, Wind Chimes would have died, and it would be even more difficult for Wind a.s.sault Tower to destroy Cla.s.s One Hall!

“Hmph! Wind Chimes, what a woman! As expected, she does have a lot of tricks up her sleeve!”

One Emperor returned to the encirclement formed by the group, turned around, and released a murderous huff in the direction of Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters. “You’ve actually used three elites as bait to seize a chance to kill Wind Chimes? When it comes to these sort of strategies, I do indeed lose to you. You nearly had your plan work just now.”

His voice traveled clearly into Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters, and many people who had not paid attention to this scene were shocked. They started discussing among themselves.

Right when he finished speaking, a voice of similar intensity traveled out of Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters.

“One Emperor, I respect you as the strongest elite in the Chinese server and the fact that you have once fought against Evil Emperor on equal grounds. I don’t want to become your enemy, but this time, you’ve gone overboard! Without discerning what is right and wrong, you helped Phantasmal Shadow in fighting against me, and to protect the home belonging to nearly one hundred thousand of my people, I must fight against you—”

“I can naturally tell what is real and fake. You don’t have to say anything else.”

One Emperor’s voice was cold and possessed no emotion whatsoever.

Dream Clouds stopped talking for a moment. Then, her tone changed.

“Looks like you’re determined to take down Cla.s.s One Hall.

“But it won’t be so easy for you to fight against my sect…

“Phantasmal Shadow!”

Dream Clouds suddenly shouted Phantasmal Shadow’s name.

“Did you actually think that with Wind Chimes and One Emperor alone, you can easily break into Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters?”

Phantasmal Shadow said nothing.

“I know that you understand clearly that you will have to pay a devastating price if you want to destroy Cla.s.s One Hall, and it is a price that you cannot withstand!”

“You want to try and minimize your damages as much as possible, but unfortunately for you, you’re too naive. You want to rely on a swordsman and Demonic Zither to shake Cla.s.s One Hall’s foundation?! That’s merely a pipe dream!”

Once she finished speaking, Dream Clouds’ voice faded away completely.

Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor’s expressions were rather grave.

“As expected, Dream Clouds isn’t easy to deal with. She has a lot of backups arranged. From now on, I cannot be too far away from Wind Chimes. I can only let you handle the task of clearing the obstacles, or else, you will have to fight against Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters head on.”

One Emperor sent a private message to Phantasmal Shadow.

Phantasmal Shadow knew just how important Wind Chimes was to the whole picture, and she nodded.

*****

When Cla.s.s One Hall was fighting against Wind a.s.sault Tower, Happy used his laptop to watch how the war progressed. Someone had deliberately synced his first person view of the war so that others could watch everything that was going on over there.

“She’s too terrifying. It’s no wonder why Dream Clouds could stand in the Chinese server for five years and not fall. She actually managed to easily dissolve the combination between Demonic Zither and One Emperor. When I was watching just now, I thought that Cla.s.s One Hall was definitely going to lose this time, for sure.”

Young Yi patted her voluptuous chest and cried out in surprise. There were a myriad of emotions in her voice.

“Just now, Demonic Zither was nearly killed…”

“Look. One Emperor doesn’t seem to be able to do anything about the situation either. He doesn’t dare stray too far from Wind Chimes. I reckon it’s because he thinks that Wind a.s.sault Tower isn’t strong enough to protect Wind Chimes.”

Xu Yao sat quietly beside Happy and stared at the screen. She was frowning.

After a long time pa.s.sed, she turned her head around to look at Happy and said, “I have a bad feeling.”

“Hmm?”

Happy was stunned, and he heard Xu Yao speak worriedly, “You managed to destroy two of Cla.s.s One Hall’s branches really easily before this, but why do I think that Dream Clouds doesn’t care about that at all? She seems to have let you intentionally destroy the branches… Could it be that she was actually trying to show an impression of weakness?”

“Why do you say that?”

“Think. Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters had actually been able to easily send out elites, and they had, just as easily, stopped One Emperor and Demonic Zither from working together, but what sort of people did you run into when you fought against Cla.s.s One Hall?

“Aside from the group Barren Murderer led, the other people you fought… were all n.o.bodies. You had no pressure whatsoever when you fought against them.

“But now, the strength Cla.s.s One Hall has gradually revealed is terrifying. With just two random people, they managed to easily break Demonic Zither’s Sky Demon Zither. They also have Visitor under the Umbrella and that elite with Lion’s Roar, along with a group of hidden weapons elites, as well as elites with Fatal Flying Maces. Before these people were recruited by Dream Clouds, they were not famous. Also, they had managed to ama.s.s so many Fatat Flying Maces so quietly. I feel like Cla.s.s One Hall has actually hidden much of their strength.”

When Happy heard Xu Yao’s a.n.a.lysis, he was not shocked, but had delight appear on his face.

He said, “I know.”

Naturally, Happy knew about all this.

Dream Clouds had acc.u.mulated quite a lot of powerful people in the other world as well, and in this world, she had only revealed Blood Alliance, Five Venoms, a.s.sa.s.sin Hall, and Heaven’s Music Sect.

Right now, the appearance of those unknown elites in Cla.s.s One Hall had just verified his initial viewpoint.

Cla.s.s One Hall’s hidden strength was much stronger than Wind a.s.sault Tower!

This woman had never given up on her dream to unify the entire Chinese server under her!
