Sword Among Us

Chapter 744: Ten Thousand Poison, Demonic Sound

But no matter what, the gap at Class One Hall’s side was a major disaster area. It was the most dangerous, and it had the highest possibility of their enemies pushing forward instantly. Hence, even though Silver Wolf noticed the danger at the backyard, he could not mobilize his forces.

He had made meticulous arrangements before he placed those Mu Clan members in the four directions. No matter who he moved away from any direction, there will be a possibility that that side will weaknesses and gaps appear in it.

That was why when he saw that the situation at the backyard was becoming more alarming and the breathing of the people beside him was becoming increasingly quick and uneasy, Silver Wolf remained unmoved and cold!

His incomplete silver mask became even more dazzling under the firelight.

But it was precisely of his silence and calmness that even when the Mu Clan members heard the increasingly intense cries of murder and the sounds of fighting from the backyard draw closer to them, as long as they did not receive Silver Wolf’s order, they will not turn around to cast a glance in that direction.

At the battlefield against Class One Hall, a large group of Mu Clan elites gritted their teeth and chased after those from Class One Hall outside the branch wall before they swung their weapons to block the arrows while they retreated back into the branch through the collapsed wall.

The powerful counterattack and attacks caused Mu Clan’s branch to be filled with corpses. Those corpses were strewn everywhere, and it was an incredibly magnificent sight.

The people outside saw that Mu Clan’s camp had never lost even a single member in their fight. Even though the sounds of battle at the backyard could shake the heavens, their attackers at the other three directions were blocked by the unmoving and cold “wall” formed by Mu Clan’s elites. These people sucked in sharp breaths and did not dare take a step forward.

The situation at three directions had now become completely safe.

Most people cast their gazes at the backyard!

As casualties continued appearing in Mu Clan, Towering Palace had clearly treated this place as a key point for their firepower to break through and break Mu Clan!

More elites charged over in an endless stream, and they seemed as if they wanted to use the advantage of numbers to continue pushing forward so that they can completely destroy Mu Clan’s branch.

Towering Palace had actually made a pretty good move.

While the elites from Dragon Sect sacrificed a few of their own to send the formation at the backyard into chaos, a large group of people were led by Vast Heaven to completely throw the defense line there into disorder, and the people from both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Even though there were quite a lot of Mu Clan elites who had great equipment, Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and those twenty or so Dragon Sect elites were not easy to deal with.

Very soon, half of the elites at the front row were lost, and the remaining ones were injured.

However, Towering Palace was not completely uninjured.

During the short period of time the Mu Clan elites used their lives to defend the archers, the archers continuously killed their enemies further back in their enemy lines. Very soon, Towering Palace also lost no fewer than one hundred of their own.

The Dragon Sect elites also killed quite a number of Mu Clan elites during the chaost.

“Good work!”

Even so, Clear Music was still very excited by the sight she saw from the tall platform she spontaneously built outside Mu Clan’s branch. She saw that her people had quickly occupied nearly half the space in the branch’s backyard, and there were more people who tried to widen the gap. Clear Music could already see the situation where Mu Clan’s branch will be destroyed if this development continued.

“Lead another group of people to assist Vice Palace Master Heaven and Vice Palace Master Grim!”

For the first time, Clear Music felt carefree, as if all the gloom in her chest had been released.

However, the middle-aged man beside her, who was also the vice sect master of Dragon Sect, did not have any joy on his face as he stared at the situation at Mu Clan’s backyard. Instead, he noticed that calmness had returned to the other three directions of the branch once the enemy offense had been beaten to a retreat. But even so, they did not show any signs of redirecting their forces to the backyard. Hence, he scowled and discovered that there was something off.

When the offense from the other three directions were sent back, logically speaking, Silver Wolf should bring out a few people from the other three directions to fill up the losses at the backyard.

But Silver Wolf did nothing.

‘Why?!’

The middle-aged man scowled. Then, he heard zither sounds appear from the branch again. That sound was so gentle that it sounded airy, but it swiftly caused him to become wary!

“This is bad!”

*****

Once the other three directions were settled, Silver Wolf observed the backyard for a while before he found Vast Heaven and Grim Green’s figures in the crowd. At the same time, he locked down on more than ten extraordinary people in the crowd.

He pointed them all to Wind Chimes, and after that, Little North, who was already very eager to go and fight, heard this from Silver Wolf. “Go, be careful.”

“Don’t worry!”

When he heard this, Little North clenched his fists, and two Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arms released crackling sounds. He snorted through gritted teeth and said, “This time, if I don’t set up these annoying jerks and kill them, I’ll willingly give up my position as the third strongest in the headquarters!”

Little North had always been a cultured person when he spoke and seldom swore, but now, he swore, which was a rare sight.

From this alone, it was clear just how much resentment and anger he had accumulated in himself!

*****

Little North looked as if he was shrouded in a fog, and in the dark night, he was like a ghost that silently went into the backyard.

When the Mu Clan members around him saw that fog, they quickly made way.

Little North crouched down and smoothly approached a Dragon Sect elite.

“Hmph.”

Even though he was intercepted by quite a number of Mu Clan elites, that Dragon Sect elite still moved about with ease in the crowd. He also noticed Little North sneaking up to him, since he was on high alert, and his gaze turned cold.

But at that moment, those bizarre zither notes suddenly crept into his ears!

He became wary, and his true qi suddenly slowed down.

While he moved forward, his true qi had frozen up, and immediately, something happened to him.

There were a few people who had the same problem happen to them.

Those people simultaneously began hallucinating about everything around them because of the demonic sounds that suddenly entered their ears.

Right when they noticed that the situation was off, sword glares flew everywhere. Those elites were prepared to temporarily chase away the dangers around them and use their full strength to break free of the demonic sounds before they did anything else, but at that moment, one of the Dragon Sect elites suddenly felt a grip around his foot!

Vast Heaven, who was not too far away, saw everything that transpired very clearly.

That Dragon Sect elite froze, and he lowered his head.

Almost at the same time, Little North quickly turned from a ball of fog into a black bolt of lightning that swiftly brushed past that Dragon Sect elite. His black claws left behind several black claw marks on that Dragon Sect elite’s body.

At that moment, Vast Heaven’s heart tensed.

He knew that the Dragon Sect elite was dead.

Little North’s nickname in the game was Ten Thousand Poison Duke!

Once anyone was struck by Little North’s poison, even if they immediately took in an antidote, it will be useless, because in a war, the instant when more than half of their abilities were reduced was basically the same as someone sentencing them to death.

Just as Vast Heaven expected, before he even had the time to look over once more, the Dragon Sect elite who was scratched was killed with a flurry of slashes by the people around them, and he was instantly killed!

At the same time, the other people who were affected by the demonic sounds were also caught in rather dangerous situations.

When the second person was seized by the claws that stretched out of the ground, that person cut away the claws that restricted his movements without hesitation, but he instantly had his heart dug out by Little North, who immediately rushed over like the wind.

“It’s your fault for bullying my pet!”

Little North glared viciously at the person as he breathed his last. Then, without stopping, he picked up his zombie’s claws from the ground and stuffed it into his Universe Bag before he brought out a bamboo tube and opened it quietly.

A golden flash seeped into the crowd agilely, and it led to a short grunt from the crowd.

*****

No matter what, the people gathered at Mu Clan’s branch were strong players who came from everywhere. They were unlike normal top players in a normal branch. Regardless of whether it was their equipment or strength, they were not people to whom Towering Palace and Class One Hall could compare to.

At the end of the day, the only people who could threaten them were the Dragon Sect elites, Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and a handful of other people!

When Wind Chimes, Little North, and the aces of Mu Clan placed their attention on these people and as these elites from the enemy forces continuously died, the enemy momentum at the backyard quickly came to a halt!
