Sword Among Us

Chapter 1210: Matrix Broken...

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As he faced the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique and eighty-one elite Wild Wolves, Happy finally sensed a presence of danger and unease he had never felt before.

They had nine people form a group, and the nine groups of people were like huge beasts with their mouths wide open. They waited for him hungrily so that he could enter their midst.

Every single person who led the formation all had the terrifying presence only those in the dao of heaven would have.

Those were nine people in the dao of heaven, and they were like nine huge mountains standing in front of him. All he felt was a mighty pressure, and he could hardly breathe.

Even Happy felt like a lone boat in a raging sea as he faced these nine presences in the dao of heaven. As he faced the raging waves and the fierce lightning above him, he felt that he might topple over, and his three points of Willpower were not strong enough. He felt as if he was about to start swaying.

‘It’s no wonder why Dongfang Bubai and the alliance master lost. They’re not easy to deal with, I’ll give them that.’ Happy subconsciously stopped moving and looked around. His pupils shrank a little, and his expression became much more solemn.

Happy’s mind raced.

These eighty-one people occupied the north, north-east and north-west positions.

If he moved forward recklessly, the matrix would be set, and he would die without a grave. He would never be able to get out of this unscathed.

But if he wanted to go to Flame Town, no matter where he went, the Wild Wolves would definitely be able to stop him in time. He would have the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique attack him, and he would still end up getting surrounded and killed by eighty-one elite Wild Wolves.

But if he continued delaying things, Flame Wolf would be brought away by the Wild Wolves at any moment, and he would leave the borders of the Chinese plains to enter the small countries in West Region.

At that time, it would be even more difficult to seize Tiger Soul back from Wild Wolves.

Happy frowned. The situation became incredibly difficult.

“Keep a close eye on Happy! Don’t let him get close to Flame Town!”

Peach Blossom and Immortal knew how good Happy was, and they did not want to take the initiative to attack to give Happy the chance. They just warned the others softly.

The nine groups of people just guarded the perimeter of Flame Town just like that and entered a stalemate with Happy from the distance.

As time passed, Happy sensed that Flame Wolf was lured further away from him, and he was showing signs of gradually leaving the area of his spirit sense. His heart sank, and his eyes slowly became even more determined.

“Looks like I’ll have to rely on you now.”

Even though Happy was confident that he could break the formation if he used his full power, he was not absolutely confident that he could break the matrix formed by eighty-one elite Wild Wolves in a short moment. Immediately, he brought out a messenger pigeon from his Universe Bag under the Wild Wolves’ dumbfounded gazes.

“Hmm?”

“What is he doing?”

“Is he calling someone?”

Peach Blossom and Immortal were nervous.

From the moment Happy appeared in the desert, they lost all sense of safety, because this place was the Chinese plains, and Happy was the leader of the Chinese plains, along with the sect master of Lovely Land. They did not believe that Happy had entered the desert alone, and they refused to believe that he did not have other people lying in ambush in the desert.

When they saw Happy bring out a messenger pigeon and write a letter quickly before he sent it, they instantly became nervous. They looked at each other and saw the unease in each other’s eyes.

But Wild Wolves had sent a lot of people into this operation this time.

Happy was here, and One Emperor was far away. Even if Lovely Land was getting stronger day by day and even if Happy had a backup plan, there were still more than one hundred elite Wild Wolves in Flame Town, and they were enough to handle all unforeseen circumstances.

The two women quickly became calm again and were certain that as long as they kept an eye on Happy, Tiger Soul would still be theirs.

However, Happy received a reply in less than half a minute since it flew off.

Happy took the letter and looked at the contents. Then, he put on a smile, as if he had all his worries ease away.

This scene caused the Wild Wolves to be shocked again.

Peach Blossom and Immortal’s hearts thundered. The unease in them grew stronger. They quickly sent orders to remind the people in the town to split into two groups to monitor the area around the town.

Not only had Happy’s smile caused Peach Blossom and Immortal to be incredibly nervous, it also caused the two people across the pond to be nervous.

The Prophet Carlson repeatedly moved his hands over the crystal ball, and the images continued changing.

Soon, the images changed to Flame Wolf chasing after Wild Wolves with Tiger Soul in his hand. Then, it changed to the stalemate between Happy and the group at the entrance of Flame Town. Next, he quickly moved his hands around to monitor the area around the town.

Evil Emperor had barged in, unable to hold back anymore. He stood behind Carlson, and his eyes were fixed on the crystal ball shrouded in black fog.

“How is it? Did you notice anything strange?”

Ever since Evil Emperor learned that the white-clad swordsman was his mortal enemy, Happy, he could no longer control the shock, anger, and unrest in his heart. In fact, he even broke the promise he once made with Carlson because he wanted to immediately get the newest news.

But Carlson naturally knew just how important Tiger Soul was to Evil Emperor.

Even though Tiger Soul could deeply affect the mind, it was significantly important to a player. If they could just get their hands on Chiyou’s Helmet, no one could hope to fight against him as long as they were not One with the World.

They could be king of all martial artists in the world.

Besides, right now, Happy was already displaying strength that could rival a person in the dao of heaven. Evil Emperor could already sense an unprecedented danger and pressure.

If Happy obtained Tiger Soul...

Evil Emperor could not bear the thought of the title of the strongest player no longer being in his hands, and Happy would sit firmly on the throne of the strongest.

This was something Evil Emperor could not ignore or accept.

“Leader, don’t worry. Flame Town is very small, and we have our people stationed everywhere to monitor the area. It’s impossible for there to be any Lovely Land members to be around!”

While Carlson monitored the area quickly, he said this to Evil Emperor.

But Evil Emperor was not someone who could be comforted with just a few sentences. Besides, Happy had already displayed the strength to be able to break the Forbidden Daiya Technique just now.

The frown on Evil Emperor’s face showed no signs of fading away.

“Pay attention to the old servant following Happy around. That person has a very suspicious identity. Lock down on his position immediately. I want to know where he is and what he is doing.”

When he received this reminder from Evil Emperor, Carlson had a thought appear in his mind. He moved his hands, and the image in the crystal ball instantly changed.

The old servant appeared within Carlson’s view.

The old man was currently being chased all over the place by a few Wild Wolves. There was only sand around him, and he was very far away from Flame Town.

“Have our people continue following him. He won’t be able to do anything.”

When he received this answer from Carlson, Evil Emperor released a slight breath of relief.

Carlson then said, “It’s impossible for Happy to be able to break free from the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique.

“Soon, when our people bring Flame Wolf and Tiger Soul into Flame Town, they’ll move him out of the Chinese plains. Even if Happy’s reinforcements arrive, they can only sigh over this. They’ll be powerless to do anything.”

“Let’s hope that’s the case.”

Right when Evil Emperor said this, his eyelids twitched. He noticed that Carlson’s body shuddered, and he leaned forward. At the same time, his hands slid backward over the crystal ball before they became fixed in position. It was as if he saw something shocking. Evil Emperor could hear him sucking in a sharp breath in the dark room.

“What happened?”

Evil Emperor’s tone sank. Unease flashed in his eyes.

Carlson said nothing, but his hands froze while they remained above the crystal ball. His expression turned incredibly sour as his breathing staggered.

“There are Lovely Land members in Flame Town!”

“What?”

When he heard this, Evil Emperor widened his eyes, and killing intent shone in them.

“What is Chief Wolf doing?!”

“No...” Carlson quickly explained, “This has nothing to do with Chief Wolf. Flame Town has been cleared. Those Lovely Land members came out of the Guanlin Temple and suddenly attacked. They killed the members we left behind to keep watch over the Guanlin Temple. Right now, everyone in the Guanlin Temple has come out.”

“In the end, something unexpected still happened.” Evil Emperor sucked in a deep breath before he suddenly changed what he said. “No, it’s not an accident. This is Happy’s plan. He stirred up this group of people to throw a wrench into our plans and distract Flame Wolf’s attention. He’s interfering with our progress to bring Tiger Soul out of the Chinese plains...”

When he said this, their gazes met, and they spoke at the same time, “Happy wants to use these people to help them gain time!”

Without another word, Evil Emperor quickly wrote a letter and gave an order in the letter. He had Bloody Hell Saber, Chief Wolf, and the rest use the shortest amount of time possible to suppress all the Chinese players in Flame Town. He also ordered them to kill them as quickly as possible. They were also to mobilize at least two groups of people to keep watch over the entrance of the Guanlin Temple!

“I wonder if we’ll make it.

“Messenger pigeons will need one to two minutes to reach their target if they have to travel across the pond. Let’s hope that Chief Wolf and Bloody Hell Saber will be able to keep a clear head on their shoulders.

“Also, since Happy sent a messenger pigeon to ask the people in the Guanlin Temple to attack, he must be thinking about breaking the formation within a short amount of time.” Evil Emperor added another sentence in the letter to order Peach Blossom and the rest to prevent Happy from breaking out of the formation.

“That’s right. No matter what, the people in the Guanlin Temple are weak. They’re not our opponents, and they won’t be able to cause a ruckus for long. The main problem is still Happy...” Carlson nodded.

Flap flap flap!

The messenger pigeon flew out of the window quickly.

With the letter gone, Evil Emperor and Carlson could only leave things to fate now and watch how things progressed.

At that moment, both of them were incredibly nervous.

Carlson started moving his hands swiftly, and the scenes in the crystal ball kept changing.

However, when the image in the crystal ball returned to Happy, Carlson’s hands froze for a moment.

Evil Emperor’s heart let out a loud thump.

“What happened?!” Even though he did not want to admit it, Carlson’s abnormal reaction was clearly greater than before, and his expression was much more sour.

Evil Emperor could not look at what was inside the crystal ball directly. He was anxious as he stared at Carlson’s shocked eyes. He said clearly, “Carlson, tell me!”

Carlson’s face was pale. He looked up with dull eyes, and as Evil Emperor’s heart sank further with each passing moment, he slowly removed the black hood over his head, revealing a ridiculously fair face because of how he seldom exposed himself to sunlight. His voice quivered a little.

“The matrix... has been broken...”

When he said the final word, a mighty pressure that struck fear came out of Evil Emperor’s body abruptly, and the sound of the crystal ball rolling on the floor scared Carlson.

Carlson hastily put his crystal ball in position. When he turned around to look at Evil Emperor again, he saw that his expression had become as calm as water, and not a single shred of emotion could be detected on his face.

His white hair danced behind his back gently. A cold and strange presence spilled out of his entire body.

“Tell Dream Clouds that I will send Sunflower Manual into her hands as soon as possible, I want her to immediately tell me Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s detailed location.”

Evil Emperor sounded as if his voice came out of an ice grotto. He enunciated every word clearly, and his words were chilling to the bone.

“Also, from today onwards, we will work all twenty-four hours of the day, and we will increase our speed in gathering the Forbidden Daiya Technique. On the day I master Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art... I will make sure that the Chinese plains will no longer see light!”
