Sword Among Us-Chapter 1211: Nearing the Borders, Sandstorm
After Happy sent a messenger pigeon to Silver Wolf and his party asking them to try their best to destroy the situation of Flame Town being controlled by Wild Wolves, the cooldown for Full Winds in Long Skies was also over. His qi had even returned to the peak of its condition a long time ago.
He looked up and met the gazes of the eighty-one elite Wild Wolves again. He faced the nine groups of people, and nine waves of presences at the level of those in the dao of heaven were ready to fight against him. Then, his presence suddenly changed.
He suddenly shut his eyes, closing off the cold light shining in them from the world.
Right before the eighty-one elite Wild Wolves' dumbfounded expressions, Happy instantly entered an empty and calm state.
Reflected in his spirit sense was the position, direction, and actions of the eighty-one Wild Wolves and a dozen other Wild Wolves—Peach Blossom and Immortal were among them—who were scattered around. This information was shown clearly in his head. In fact, he even had a clear grasp of every single one of their faintest changes.
And the people who had qi pouring into them from the Forbidden Daiya Technique were incredibly eye-catching. They shone like tiny suns.
Peach Blossom, Immortal, and the rest immediately noticed the change in Happy. They also sensed the powerful presence coming at them like rain in the mountain. They frowned and warned the others to be on guard.
However, they were in a very passive position.
Because when a Forbidden Daiya Technique had been destroyed just now, the nine groups became wary, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack. They could only wait quietly for Happy to enter their matrix.
Thud!
Happy took his first step forward.
The group's hearts shuddered.
"He's coming!"
These people were meticulous people. Countless gazes were instantly trained on Happy's feet. Those feet were now 32 feet right ahead of them.
That could truly be considered their border.
Once he stepped over that border, they would attack. At that time, even Happy could not escape from being hunted down by attacks in the dao of heaven.
One step, two steps!
Happy walked very slowly, but he was very relaxed about it.
His sword followed him. His eyes were shut tightly, and he looked as if he was taking a stroll at the backyard of his home. He also seemed to be enjoying the wind and light in the desert. He looked very relaxed.
Thud, thud!
The Wild Wolves felt as if each of the steps Happy took landed right on their chests and their tense nerves. He slowly drew closer and stepped into the circle where the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique could have their qi activity target him.
He was close! He was even closer now!
When everyone tightened their holds over their weapons and watched Happy take his final step, suddenly, Happy's foot just remained suspended in the air.
As if he sensed something, Happy stopped in a very wary manner. With his eyes remaining shut, he stopped moving.
"Urgh!"
He stopped moving too abruptly, and the Wild Wolves felt as if the qi they had been acc.u.mulating until it reached its peak had suddenly been seized by an invisible hand, and they could not release or retrieve it.
But the Wild Wolves did not dare to even breathe loudly. They just kept staring at Happy, and their hair as well as clothes moved even though there was no wind around. After they activated all their qi realms, their qi started surging madly. The seventy-two people who acted as support were constantly prepared to deliver the second wave of power.
He stopped for as long as three seconds.
Even though the Wild Wolves felt really sick because of the qi being obstructed in them, they knew that they were not supposed to act rashly at this moment. As long as Happy entered their domain, they would be in heaven. Otherwise, Tiger Soul would still face the possibility of being stolen by Happy at any moment.
When those three seconds were over, under the Wild Wolves' shocked gazes, Happy slowly raised his foot and pulled it back, even though he had been prepared to take his final step.
When they saw this, all Wild Wolves could not help but put on disappointed expressions. They had been tense for a long time, and every second felt like years for them. But in the end, Happy did not step into their attack range.
Subconsciously, the group's qi also rgew lax…
"This is bad!"
Peach Blossom and Immortal instantly sensed the change in qi in the members in the formation. They discovered their qi was currently weakening at an astonishing speed.
The two women found the situation bad at the same time, and they cried out to remind the group to be on guard.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
Happy, who had been pulling back his leg, suddenly stepped forward at an abnormal and unbelievable speed. He stepped into the area where the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique could target him.
At that moment…
Boom!
The nine qis that were as strong as those in the dao of even had become weaker, but now, they bounced back like springs, and one after another, they burst out.
But this time, it did not explode from them because they willed it so. Instead, because of the stimulation by Happy and the reminder from Peach Blossom as well as Immortal, that qi was dragged out from them.
Thud!
He stepped on the ground, and a terrifying power charged underground from his foot.
With Happy at the center, an invisible qi suddenly appeared, and it reached a circular area of 32 feet.
Boom!
A loud bang rose.
A sandstorm that had a diameter of 65 feet exploded from under his feet out of the blue.
Right before the people, the sandstorm completely devoured Happy.
At that moment, the nine presences caught up to him one after another.
The sandstorm had just charged into the sky when it was immediately covered by the nine terrifying presences. The crash was so strong that it scattered like sand, and it fell all over the ground.
The ruthless power completely destroyed the sandstorm. It suppressed it like a wall, and not a single grain of sand managed to escape.
But at the moment the sandstorm fell on the ground, Happy, who had been devoured, had disappeared without a trace.
The group was dumbfounded.
Did he die just like that?
This thought rose in everyone's mind!
Even so, the people from the nine groups did not dare to relax. They pushed forward again and completed the acc.u.mulation of strength for the second wave of attacks.
The group of people did not notice, but when Peach Blossom and Immortal saw this, they quickly thought of something very terrifying.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
But the nine waves of attacks had attacked the sandstorm one after another, and the two women could not immediately tell to whose side Happy would appear.
"On guard!"
Right when their shrill sounds tumbled out of their mouths, someone was attacked.
Happy could be said to have made a very cunning scheme.
He used his spirit sense to sense the time limit to launch an effective attack from the nine presences in the dao of heaven, and he also used it to detect the strength of the qi activities. Then, he closed his eyes while he moved forward to create an atmosphere. He successfully dragged all Wild Wolves into his rhythm, and he had also subtly dragged the group into his trap.
When he took his final step, Happy used their wariness and their tense nerves to break the Wild Wolves' Great Forbidden Daiya Technique and to create a weakness that would only appear for one single moment.
The weakness in their hearts and the moment he entered the area where the nine qi activities would lock down on him created the weakness in the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique, and it also created a chance for him.
The sandstorm naturally did not contain any damage. Happy just wanted to use the sandstorm to increase his chance so that it would be easier for him to control them.
Reality showed that his plans worked.
The sandstorm successfully hid him. Happy had spirit sense with him, so it would naturally not affect him. But the Wild Wolves across him completely lost sight of him.
The brief hesitation allowed Happy to pick out the attack that reached him the earliest out of the nine attacks.
Dragon Swings Its Tail!
He was in the air, and he appeared above the leftmost group. Happy kicked at them without hesitation, striking the leader of the group in the face.
That person felt his eyes turn dark. A leg hit him at the speed of lightning! The fierce and ruthless presence did not lose to the slash he delivered just now, which he had been determined to use to kill him just now. In fact, due to how close he was to Happy, Happy's attack was even more brutal and intimidating. It was terrifying, as if his head was about to burst open like a watermelon because of the kick.
Boom!
The Wild Wolf only had enough time to activate his body fortification before his face was kicked.
Fortunately, the Forbidden Daiya Technique came into play. It increased his defense and distributed the damage between them. Otherwise, even a supreme grade player at the peak of his condition might be killed by Happy's kick.
The nine divided the damage evenly. They retreated at the same time, and they were injured very lightly.
The Wild Wolf escaped death, but cold sweat still broke on his back. He did not expect that Happy would be able to escape unscathed even when he faced nine attacks with the power of those in the dao of heaven, and he had even managed to deliver such a powerful attack. At that moment, they finally understood why they had to have nine groups work together to kill him.
But Happy's counterattack was not over yet.
No matter what, Silver Wolf's party was only made of four people. Their task in throwing more than one hundred Wild Wolves' plan into chaos was even harder than his. That was why he had to break the formation within the shortest time possible.
He broke the formation!
Wild Fights in All Directions!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the sand in front of the leftmost group suddenly shot up.
The violent sandstorm dragged all the nine people in the group and the other group closest to them into it.
These eighteen people looked as if they were struck by lightning! They staggered and were sent flying at the same time.
"Careful!"
"Protect them!"
The left side was in chaos. The Great Forbidden Daiya Technique started to lose its stability. Everyone's gazes were gathered on them. Now, there were only seven dao of heaven presences in the area.
But unfortunately for them, since they did not truly possess the strength of those in the dao of heaven, they would never be able to locate Happy in the sandstorm. Naturally, they had no way of threatening Happy. They could only watch passively and wait.
Because of it, Happy bought even more time for himself.
Bang!
A black figure shot out from the dancing sandstorm. He headed to the third group to the left.
"Careful! He's our own!"
The Wild Wolves reacted quickly. At the moment they locked down on that person, they swiftly noticed that the person who flew to them was not Happy, but a heavily injured friend.
They quickly looked away.
However, even though the group's attention had just looked away for a moment, it was enough for them to reveal a weakness in their defense.
"Roar!"
As he executed Dragon's Roar and caused space to tremble, his voice echoed above Flame Town. Peach Blossom, Immortal, and the rest discovered to their shock and horror that a visible wave of impact shot out from the sandstorm. It traveled from the left to the center, and chaos swiftly spread in the group.
In an instant, half of the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique scattered. Immediately after, a sword force that tore through the air descended from the sky.
Boom!
The Great Forbidden Daiya Technique was instantly destroyed.
A deep trench that had a width of six and a half feet split the eighty-one elite Wild Wolves who formed the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique into two groups. Dozens of people were heavily injured and coughed up blood on the spot. They fell on the sand.
At the same time, a horrifying gash was left behind on Flame Town's city wall because of this astonishing slash.
The city wall crumbled, and sand filled the air.
All the Wild Wolves were instantly enveloped by the sand that filled the air.
"Oh no!"
The Wild Wolves outside had their eyes filled with shock.
A sword flashed nonstop in the sand and dust. Because of it, other sword lights shattered, and that sword moved about aggressively.
Pained screams rose, but they only remained for a short while in the sand. Panic spread like the plague, and all sorts of voices spread out.
While Peach Blossom and Immortal retreated, they watched as the area of the sandstorm continued spreading to the town. Meanwhile, their members were thrown out of the sandstorm nonstop. Peach Blossom and Immortal's faces were stark pale.
The Great Forbidden Daiya Technique consisted of eighty-one elite Wild Wolves. But in an instant, half of them were defeated. Most of those who remained were in a state of disorder. They could not keep up with the formation because of the sandstorm Happy created.
Most importantly, even now, they still could not lock down on Happy.
They could only watch helplessly as the sandstorm pushed toward the town madly, and they could do nothing about it.
