Sword Among Us Chapter 732 - A Thief Visits

Chapter 732: A Thief Visits

Two Myth Realm martial artists from the mighty northern clan had died in Sky Demon Secret Cave. To Happy, this was a good thing, but it also put him on high alert.

He obtained a lot of things from Jinjiu and Yins.h.i.+. Among them, his greatest reward was that his Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style had increased to the eighth realm!

He had moved from Thunder to Lightning Flash.

The speed of each slash could already compare to One Emperor’s first slash, and it was the most terrifying aspect of it all.

If there was anyone who wanted to evaluate who had the fastest speed with a sword in the game, Happy did not believe that there would be anyone s faster than him!

Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style was the fastest sword technique among all Moksha Realm sword techniques that were available to him, and it had not even reached its peak yet. Happy had three more realms to go.

Aside from fighting experience, Happy had also managed to increase his Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style realm because of the two bottles containing the essence and blood of peerless martial artists given to him by two Myth Realm martial artists.

Wave Breaker Saber and Scorching Sun Blade.

The two high-grade divine weapons had the effect of damaging opponents’ weapons.

If it were not because Happy’s Seventh Sword had already reached the fourth echelon, it would not have been able to last for such a long time.

Happy did not want to use either of the two weapons, but he knew that if someone went up against someone who had Wave Breaker Saber opr Scorching Sun Blade, they first would have to think about whether they had the money to repair their own divine weapon. After all, the better the quality of a weapon, the more expensive were the repair costs and the materials required for it.

Happy also obtained two Great Saber Breaker Art manuals from Jinjiu once he completed the quest.

‘A Moksha Realm ultimate technique!’

He put away the items with great delight before he checked the items in the Universe Bags. He found three drops of Fire Qilin Blood and three Fire Qilin Scales within, which made him beyond himself with joy.

There were also a few decent martial art techniques. One of them was Nine Heavens Fire Repelling Qi Cultivation Technique, while another a decent lightness skill that could only be learned by those at Moksha Realm.

‘These guys… they sure had a lot of valuable things.’

Happy sincerely felt that it was completely worth it for him to have used the Fire Qilin Blood earlier.

Not only did he obtain two manuals of the martial art used by two peerless martial artists to protect their clan and two divine weapons that would produce two top-cla.s.s elites in Mu Clan, he also obtained Fire Qilin Blood and Fire Qilin Scales, which were unexpected surprises.

Besides that, Happy also obtained another surprise.

It was in regards to the Nation Protecting Divine Sword, which had never been completed by the Murong Clan. Since he had obtained two bottles of essence and blood of two forgemasters, he could move the sword to a higher level and perfect it. Nation Protecting Sword would move from a grade one masterpiece to a high-grade divine weapon.

Of course, if it had just been upgraded from a grade one masterpiece to a normal high-grade divine weapon, Happy would not be affected.

The deal was that there was not just one fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword in Mu Clan’s storage. They were all refined by Heartless Iron and placed in storage because Mu Clan’s resources sitting in their storage had provided him with the materials to refine those swords.

Two bottles of forgemasters’ essence and blood could upgrade two fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Swords to high-grade divine weapons, so there was no way that Happy would not be excited.

The deaths of two Myth Realm martial artists excited Happy quite a lot.

But after going through his loot, he felt a faint wave of exhaustion.

He had engaged Myth Realm martial artists in a high-intensity battle for a few hours. During that time, he did not dare to relax, so once it was over, in all honesty, he could only be described with one word: Tired.

Once Happy organized the loot he obtained from the two Myth Realm martial artists, he had to log off to rest for a while.

Even though the benefits he gained from Sky Demon Secret Cave far exceeded what he planned to gain, he still wanted to meet Fire Qilin, who dwelled in the depths of the cave and see whether he had the chance to level up Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style even further.

It was basically impossible for him to kill Fire Qilin. The two Myth Realm martial artists had not been able to do so even after they spent a long time trying, so Happy had no confidence to kill it as well. He only wanted to use Fire Qilin to test his sword technique. That was all.

*****

Once Happy left the game, he habitually went to the balcony to sense the warmth from the sun on his skin, but against his expectations, when he reached the balcony, he heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole, and he could not help but frown.

He remembered that it was not the weekend, so Xu Xin should still be in cla.s.s. Why would she suddenly come so early?

Happy turned around, but the sound of the key turning in the lock did not reach his ears.

Instead, he heard a familiar voice outside.

“Hey, buddy, you’re an unfamiliar face. You don’t seem to be a resident here.”

It was Knife.

Happy was stunned when he heard him.

‘A stranger?’

It seemed like Knife had been alerted of a stranger moving upstairs, and he quickly walked out from the apartment across from Happy’s to interrupt that person’s act of opening the door.

Happy immediately felt a dark emotion settle in his heart.

He returned to the living room and walked to the door to cast a glance through the peephole. Then, he scowled and opened the door.

The young stranger outside was already subjugated by Knife and pushed against the stairs. He begged for mercy. “Ack! Don’t! My arm’s about to break—”

When he saw the door to Happy’s apartment open, cold sweat immediately flowed down his face, and he stopped talking once his face and lips turned pale.

“Tell me where your key came from!”

When Knife saw that it was Happy who opened the door, his eyes returned to the young stranger once more, and he exerted more force on his leg. The young stranger could hear the sounds of his joints cracking.

“ACK! Bro! Brother, please spare me!”

The first thing Happy did was to stare at the key stuck in the keyhole. He pulled it out and cast it a glance before he tried to open the door. His expression immediately turned incredibly unpleasant.

The key might not have been the original copy, but it was clearly made based off of the original copy!

He said nothing and just brought out his phone in front of the young stranger, who was rapidly turning paler, and made a few calls. There were only three people who had the key to the base. One of they keys was in his hands, the other was in Xu Xin’s, and the last in Lonely Three Wolves’ hands.

Happy was originally in a good mood, but he did not expect that he would run into this sort of matter. If it were not because of Knife, he might have been in danger.

As for whether the event was to force him to buy peace or something else, it was difficult to say.

But no matter who it was, there was no one who could maintain a good mood when they ran into this sort of matter.

Happy called two people, and the answer he obtained was that they still had their keys!

He asked them whether they had ever handed their keys to someone else before, even if it was only for a short period of time, and both parties said no.

Happy’s heart immediately sank.

If the young stranger had managed to get the key without batting an eyelid, it meant that whoever sent him made sure that he was after Happy!

“I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me where your key came from!”

“I-I made it— Bro, it’s my fault, okay! Let go of me! It hurts! Just send me to the police station. I won’t dare to do this again…”

“When did you make it?”

“A few nights ago. I came over here to make it.”

It would have been better if he did not provide this explanation, because once he did, Knife instantly laughed coldly. “Playing tricks with me, are you? This place is under surveillance twenty-four seven. Even if you’re a special agent, it would have been impossible for you to get the key under our eyes.

“Looks like you don’t intend to say anything… Alright! Happy, let me handle this person. If I don’t manage to make him talk in ten minutes and figure out the mastermind, my name won’t be Knife.”

Once he finished speaking, he knocked the young stranger unconscious and brought him into the apartment across from Happy’s.

Thud, thud!

Thunder walked down from the floor above with a stern face. When he saw how worried Happy looked, he said, “I looked through the area outside just now. There’s no one suspicious. Let Knife handle this. He knows where to draw the line.”
