Sword Among Us Chapter 724 - The First Myth Realm Martial Artist Who Died

Chapter 724: The First Myth Realm Martial Artist Who Died

When the Dharma protector with the golden saber charged into the extremely cold cave, he might have heard the sounds of the duo fighting, but due to his understanding and confidence in the Dharma protector with the silver saber, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he paid more attention to the strange environment of the extremely cold cave while he traveled through it. After taking a few turns, he finally reached the cave where Happy fought against the Dharma protector with the silver saber.

What he did not expect was that as he drew closer to the source of the sounds, he began hearing grunts from the Dharma protector with the silver saber, and judging from the sound, he seemed to be injured quite badly.

The Dharma protector with the golden saber finally got anxious and quickly increased his speed!

Whoos.h.!.+

He moved like lightning, and the area ahead of him instantly became wider and clearer.

But the Dharma protector with the golden saber came too late. When he appeared at the entrance of the cave, he was just in time to see Happy execute a sword thrust as quickly as lightning and ram his sword into the mouth of the Dharma protector with the silver saber. The sword came out of the back of his head.

The Dharma protector with the golden saber glared at Happy.

“Tenth!” He was incredibly enraged and fierce.

The Dharma protectors with the golden and silver sabers were known as Jinjiu and Yins.h.i.+.

In the world of martial artists, Bei Jinjiu and Bei Yins.h.i.+ of the mighty northern clan were still somewhat popular. Even after they hid their names and retreated from worldly affairs, they retained the t.i.tle of Saber Breaker Kings.

But Yins.h.i.+ was killed, and he will forever sleep in this place.

Thud!

Happy drew out his longsword from Yins.h.i.+’s mouth without hesitation, and the corpse lost its support. Yet like an ice sculpture, it stood straight in the cave, and not even a drop of blood fell. The man’s eyes were ope wide while he pa.s.sed away with hate in his heart.

In truth, Yins.h.i.+ had lost and died because the cold poison had invaded his body and diminished his strength and because he did not see that Happy had actually held back his strength and had recovered long ago. It was why when Happy’s momentum had suddenly become fierce, he was taken off guard and got hit continuously. His movement speed decreased, and he was at a great disadvantage.

Logically speaking, with Yins.h.i.+’s body const.i.tution, he should have been able to last until Jinjiu came, but what had been fatal for him was that when he noticed that the situation was not right, he tried to cry out for help, which made him open his mouth and take in a cold breath of air that was even more fatal than the cold wind blowing at his skin. In an instant, his true qi was frozen, and he could no longer move his body.

Happy, who had Nine Yang Divine Skill, immediately noticed that Yins.h.i.+ had revealed a fatal weakness, and he seized the fleeting chance to thrust forward without hesitation. It allowed him to kill the man straightaway!

Once Yins.h.i.+ died, Happy gained great benefits.

He basically ignored the threat of Jinjiu being near him. He moved and grabbed an exquisite Universe Bag with gold borders from Yins.h.i.+’s waist while also grabbing Yins.h.i.+’s silver saber. A hint of happiness was on his face.

[Wave Breaker Saber: High-grade divine weapon. Made from Deep Sea Destroyed Metal. After it was refined by Dharma Protector Yinjiu of the mighty northern clan, it is st.u.r.dy and cannot be destroyed. The toughness of the saber is astonis.h.i.+ng.

[Damage: 2,000 points. It can break normal weapons and non-divine weapons with one slash. With Great Saber Breaker Art, it can also damage unrefined masterpieces. Every time you attack, you can deal at least 20 damage on the durability of the weapon.

[You will require two hundred Arm Strength to use it at will, or else, your Body Movement will be reduced by 30 points, and your attack speed will be reduced by 20%.]

Happy swept his gaze over Wave Breaker Saber before he swiftly put it into his Universe Bag.

“Let go of it!”

Jinjiu was incredibly enraged. He finally snapped out of his shock and, like a raging lion, he stomped on the ground! A saber glare filled the entire cave, and as scratching sounds were heard, a layer of the ice walls were sliced off. Cold wind swept up the ice and snow all over the place before coming at Happy with an astonis.h.i.+ng momentum!

Naturally, Happy would not face Jinjiu head-on.

Once he picked everything, he tapped against the ground without hesitation. He pushed Yins.h.i.+, who had frozen into an ice sculpture, before charging out.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Jinjiu and Yins.h.i.+ had shared a relations.h.i.+p as close as brothers for decades. When Jinjiu saw Yins.h.i.+’s statue falling over, he quickly pulled back his saber momentum and caught it.

Once he stopped, Happy vanished from the cave.

“Happy! I’ll cut you to pieces and make sure you die without a grave!” Jinjiu roared in extreme anger and chased after Happy with moves like thunder, which made the tunnel tremble repeatedly.

Happy did not bother himself with Jinjiu’s shouts. He just ran about and fled through the intersecting tunnels while he digested the information from the system notification that had rang repeatedly in his ears.

“Killed a Myth Realm martial artist!

“Battle Danger a.s.sessment: Cla.s.s S!

“Increased realm of Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style to the sixth realm!

“Increased level of Arhat Body to 93.57!

“Killed a peerless martial artist. Increased World of Martial Arts Reputation Points by 1,000,000 points! Obtained a bottle of a peerless martial artist’s essence and blood.

“Killed Yins.h.i.+. Triggered Jinjiu’s Pursuit to the Death Quest!

“Because you killed Yins.h.i.+, Jinjiu has entered a crazed state. His entire mind is filled with only the thought of killing you. As long as he lives, he will chase you to the ends of the earth!

“Requirements to complete the quest: Kill Jinjiu! You can obtain Jinjiu and Yins.h.i.+’s Great Saber Breaker Art, which they used their entire life. You can also obtain the Murong Clan’s acknowledgement.”

*****

“Killed Great Forgemaster Yins.h.i.+. Triggered Consecration of Nation Protecting Divine Sword Quest.

“Hand over Yins.h.i.+’s essence and blood as well as the incomplete Nation Protecting Divine Sword to a Forgemaster, and you will be able to obtain the complete high-grade divine weapon Nation Protecting Divine Sword.”

Happy took note of the system notifications. Even though the Nation Protecting Divine Sword Quest was an unexpected but delightful surprise, he really did not have the time to think about it.

What he cared about the most was increasing the level of his Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style and Great Saber Breaker Art manual.

He had gradually begun to figure out some things about Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style, and the higher his realm of that martial art became, the higher his chances of killing Jinjiu were. As for Great Saber Breaker Art, it was not in Yins.h.i.+’s Universe Bag, but that ultimate technique was something that he was determined to get.

Even though he did not like to torment other people’s weapons just because he had a lot of free time on his hands, if he managed to get this ultimate technique, he could hand it to the other Mu Clan members to practice it.

He might even be able to create another top-cla.s.s player with it.

While thinking about it, Happy led Jinjiu in circles around the extremely cold cave.

He had already completely restored his qi, and he used his spiritual senses from Nine Yang Divine Skill to size up Jinjiu.

He quickly thought of the way to take care of Jinjiu. He had used quite a bit of time to scheme against Yins.h.i.+, so he could not be careless when he dealt with Jinjiu either.

Once Yins.h.i.+ left the cave where Fire Qilin was, Jinjiu waited for a long time, but Yins.h.i.+ never came back. It was rather difficult for Jinjiu to fight against Fire Qilin alone. He could not kill it with his own strength and had to suffer quite some setbacks in the fight. In the end, he chose to shake off the creature and go back to search for Yins.h.i.+.

Happy noticed that there were quite a number of burns on Jinjiu’s body, and even when he entered the extremely cold cave, those burns were red and angry. They were very prominent, and the burns on his saber-wielding arm were the worst. They stretched all the way to his shoulder.

Jinjiu was in a slightly worse situation than Yins.h.i.+ earlier.

Happy even wondered whether he should quickly kill Jinjiu or waste time with him so that he could level up his Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style.
