Sword Among Us

Chapter 768: Too Late!

As the Towering Palace members were made to retreat repeatedly outside Yangzhou City, Happy’s act of killing a group of Dragon Sect elites and a group of Towering Palace elites aggressively spread out in Yangzhou City. The people from Towering Palace could not organize any sort of force outside the city to fight back at all.

Mu Clan’s members and Wind Assault Tower’s members gathered together to form a team of more than two thousand people. They had an aggressive presence, and they rode into the city on their horses without stopping once to rush straight to Towering Palace’s headquarters.

Rumble...

The Towering Palace members had already returned to their city and went to their headquarters to defend it.

Withing the headquarters, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the others had already set up their formation to wait for the people from Mu Clan. The people outside and inside the headquarters already had their weapons drawn and were ready for battle. The atmosphere around them was heavy.

No one would ever expect that life would be so full of ups and downs that it would catch people by surprise.

Last night, tens of thousands of Towering Palace members surrounded Mu Clan’s branch, and they had been matchless in strength.

Right now, their enemy had turned the tides around and went to attack their headquarters. They were even forced to switch to defense!

As an endless stream of Towering Palace members charged to their headquarters from outside, a loud ruckus and the sound of horse hooves swiftly closed in on the empty square outside Towering Palace.

No one said anything.

Shangguan Lian and the others had frowns quickly form between their eyebrows. Their archers swiftly drew their bows, and their expressions were very stern.

The sound of horse hooves never stopped!

Rumble! Rumble!

It was getting closer and clearer!

The Towering Palace members outside could not the enemies from moving forward at all. Pained screams rose frequently, and everything was in chaos.

Suddenly...

Boom!

Their door was cut in half by a dazzling sword force. The door latch was broken, and the door was sent flying in violently by a great inertia.

A black Hoof Shadow raised two of its hooves into the air. On its back was a young man in faint blue warrior clothes. They appeared on the stairs leading to Towering Palace’s entrance, and very soon, all eyes were gathered on them.

The young man on the horse’s back surveyed the area with a cold and awe-inspiring gaze. The group of tense Towering Palace members sucked in sharp breaths, and they forgot to release their arrow for a short period of time.

All of them just stared at the young man who got down from the horse with dumbfounded expressions!

“Why are you just staring?! Fire!”

A few Towering Palace elders standing across the young man in the hall looked as if they saw something incredibly frightening. They quickly gave their orders in surprise.

Once those shouts rose, the people in the headquarters finally snapped out of their daze.

They released the strings!

Whoosh!

The arrows flew at him from all sides like a shower!

The young man smiled faintly. He took a step forward and crossed thirty-two feet forward in an incredibly abstruse manner. An invisible qi flow quickly gathered around him.

The arrows that were flying in the air and those that had arrived in front of his face were led around by a suction force that appeared out of the blue. They circled around the young man swiftly.

Whoosh!

That large group of arrows instantly changed their direction and shot toward the dense wave of Towering Palace members at an even faster speed.

An arrow shower rained down on the people.

Pained screams rang endlessly.

The people right in front of the young man were instantly struck with misfortune. Their body fortifications were immediately shattered, and they were shot full of arrows.

When they saw this, the people behind them no longer dared used their bows and arrows.

“Happy, stop! We admit defeat for this war, and Towering Palace will compensate all of Mu Clan’s losses.”

When they saw this, Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing understood that Happy’s strength had already reached an unimaginable height, and they could not hope to fight against him. Towering Palace no longer had any hope of turning the tides around. If they continued fighting against him, they will only affect Towering Palace’s core.

Happy ignored them and continued walking into the headquarters. He said two words tersely, “Too late.”

Indeed, when Towering Palace worked with Class One Hall to declare war on Mu Clan, they did not stop their palace masters.

When Towering Palace attacked Mu Clan’s branch, they did not stop them.

When Towering Palace destroyed Mu Clan’s branch and chased after Silver Wolf as well as the others, they did not stop them either.

Right now, they only popped out when Towering Palace was in a precarious situation in hopes that Happy will spare, but things will never end in such a pleasant manner in the world! Happy will naturally not show them any sort of cordiality. He swung his longsword, and a dazzling sword force drew a few streams of blood when it mowed down the crowd.

“Why are you still talking to them! Attack, all of you!”

The elders on the stairs shouted in fear and anger, but before they could finish speaking, they were cut in half by a sword glare that came charging at them.

“I’ll be taking Towering Palace’s headquarters today.”

While Happy spoke, he continued executing sword glares at the crowd while he walked leisurely among them. He also activated Petite Dragon constantly to avoid damage while he had Arhat Body protecting him. The attacks from the Towering Palace members around him could hardly deal any damage on him.

He only heard pained screams rise nonstop around him.

Happy alone had managed to destroy the formation of arrows that Towering Palace had prepared for him in less than half a minute with just one Shifting Stars. Then, he threw Towering Palace’s defense line into utter chaos.

Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing were full of anxiety while they watched from afar.

With their strength, they could tell that Happy was currently even stronger than when he first came here, and he was absolutely not afraid of being surrounded by thousands of Towering Palace members, because no one could harm him anymore...

Every time he attacked with the sword, Happy could easily take away at least seven to eight people’s lives.

Happy’s sword technique was too fast, so fast that Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the rest did not dare approach him.

“Kill them!”

Happy had completely thrown a few of Towering Palace’s defense lines into chaos. When he slaughtered his way to the stairs leading to the meeting hall, an enraged shout rose from outside. It was from Silver Wolf, who had been accumulating his anger for a long time. He personally led the group outside to charge into the headquarters with a bang.

The people behind Happy had just turned their heads around in panic when blood bloomed on their chests, and right when they met the people from Mu Clan, they were already killed.

Mu Clan’s elites pounced in with the ferocity of tigers and wolves!

They were easily like a hot knife cutting butter!

“Little North, bring our brothers and sisters to destroy the headquarters’ foundation! Leave the people here to me!” Silver Wolf charged in hastily and began killing as well as pushing forward without any fear. He also shouted his orders in the crowd, and no one could stop him while he pushed forward.

When they saw that Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower’s people had also charged in and their front yard was instantly occupied, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the rest were instantly filled with despair.

“We’re done for...”

*****

Happy did not stop with the slaughter.

The deaths of thousands of Mu Clan members caused him to not have a shred of compassion for Towering Palace. He showed no mercy when he attacked, and he did not stop pushing forward. He slaughtered his way from the meeting hall to the atrium.

On his way, the corpses from the Towering Palace members formed a terrifying, bloody road.

“All Towering Palace members, hear me! You will now leave the headquarters immediately!”

A few people suddenly walked out from the atrium, and a familiar female voice tumbled out firmly from Musical Note’s mouth.

Silence fell among the Towering Palace members in the headquarters who had charged forward regardless of the cost to stop Happy. They were stunned and confused for a few seconds.

Musical Note’s shout caused the Towering Palace members to glare viciously at Happy before they retreated out of the headquarters.

Only a handful of people were left in the large atrium within an instant!

Aside from Musical Note walking down slowly from the stairs, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and Happy, there was only a ground full of corpses, which number to at least two hundred.

“I’ll give you Towering Palace’s headquarters if you want it, but tell me, once you destroy the headquarters, will all of this end?” Musical Note was already suing for peace.

Happy’s heart was as calm as water. He brandished his sword, delivering a few sparks in the process. “From the moment you worked together with Dragon Sect and Class One Hall, Towering Palace no longer existed in my heart!”
