Sword Among Us

Chapter 435: Little North’s Earth Elemental Zombie

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Clan was always the center of attention!

Ever since Happy vanished beyond Eternal Peace County, everyone lost track of him, and this affected many people’s minds. They began guessing whether Happy had vanished from the eyes of the diviners because he was caught in a quest from the six great system-allocated sects or if he did it intentionally just like how he had hidden away the fact that he had a fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword.

Because of that, everyone watched Class One Hall’s actions, and Class One Hall did not disappoint them. They sent nameless powerful players one after another to Baokang and had them challenge Happy boldly, but in the end, they were either defeated by Mu Clan’s Ancient Wind or were sent back dejectedly by One Circle after they were shocked by how sturdy his defensive martial art was after it reached a certain level. Some of the more powerful ones were also killed mercilessly by Momo with one finger, which resulted in them vanishing from the ranking board.

This time, it was Feng Zhi. He was originally a nameless Life and Death Realm player, but he challenged players nonstop, and he enjoyed great success all along the way. He slaughtered his way up to the high spot of the seventeenth player on the Dragon Rank, and he had become second on the Famous People Rank.

When he “passed by” Baokang, he coincidentally decided to witness Happy’s strength, which was why he came to challenge him at Mu Clan’s headquarters.

However, what he did not expect was that he would receive the same treatment as the other challengers Mu Clan received. The person who came to meet him was still not Happy.

Feng Zhi was a little angry!

He had noticed the small natural phenomenon triggered by a demon vessels, but he was still displeased.

“Tell Happy to come out.”

“Even if there aren’t ten million people who want to challenge my bro in the world, there are still at least millions of them. If my boss met all of you, how tired would he be? Do you think you’re special?”

When Little North faced a man, he would never lose when it came to verbal battles. He went straight ahead and indirectly implied that the other was a common wh*re.

When Feng Zhi’s face turned dark, Little North sighed.

“Since you came from far away, I will force myself to attack and fight against you for a while.”

“You sure talk big.”

Feng Zhi kicked upward, and his large saber spun in the air between his legs. He snorted coldly, turned around, and kicked outward. His large saber sliced through the air before it spun in the air to form a long arc that had a mighty momentum.

From the tip to the end, the saber was more than thirty feet long. Its qi force was broader than six and a half feet, and it went straight for Little North. The attack’s momentum was as great as a thunderclap, and so was its pressure!

The players in the area cried out in surprise.

Feng Zhi had not raised his hand once. He sent his saber flying as if it weighed nothing with his feet and executed such an astonishing killing move.

Little North’s expression changed. He activated Illusory Spirit Body and Phantasm Body Movement Skill at the same time to move several dozens of feet away!

Bang!

A crack that was two feet deep and more than thirty feet long appeared at the spot where Little North had been! It was a horrifying scar on the ear, and it caused the people around them to suck in sharp breaths.

The huge saber returned to its owner’s hands as if it were alive.

When Feng Zhi looked at Little North’s face, which was a little pale, he took a few steps forward, and the arrogance in his voice became greater.

“Send Happy over. You aren’t my opponent.”

The moment he finished speaking, a cold and determined voice came from Little North.

“Sir, you do indeed have astonishing Arm Strength, and you have a Life and Death Realm martial art at Grandmaster Realm. When you use your full strength, normal people will find it hard to withstand your hits, but did you actually think that you can be invincible with this alone? You’re just being ridiculous.”

“By the sound of it, you intend to fight against me?”

Feng Zhi smiled arrogantly, and an expectant look appeared on his face.

There were very few people who could retreat at full health from his saber technique in all the time he was challenging people. The young man in front of him was rather extraordinary, and by the looks of it, he did have some abilities.

“I do have that intention.”

The moment he finished speaking, Little North left behind an afterimage.

“Very well. I will first defeat you and make you submit to me, then we’ll see whether Happy will come out.”

Feng Zhi snorted pridefully and cut at the empty ground to his left without any hesitation.

Bang!

The ground trembled. A loud sound rose from behind Feng Zhi’s body, and the punch that arrived like a phantom tore viciously at... Feng Zhi’s afterimage.

No one who had reached his qi realm was a weakling.

Feng Zhi might have noticed Little North’s movement trajectory, but the change right before him and the foul-smelling wind that came at him from behind caused him to feel uneasy, as if he was caught in a life and death situation.

“How shameless!”

Feng Zhi moved back and saw a black-robed person at the spot where he had stood moments ago. There was a large hole next to the newcomer’s feet.

A poisonous fog that brought fear to Feng Zhi rose from the black-robed person. He looked very dangerous, and he formed a rapport with Little North coincidentally. If Feng Zhi had been struck just then, he might have already been surrounded by the duo.

“How ignorant,” Little North mocked him coldly.

Without another word, he had his zombie puppet open its black robe to reveal its disgusting and terrifying dead body.

Feng Zhi was instantly stunned.

“Corpse Controller! You’re a Corpse Controller!”

Then, he realized that he had accused Little North wrongly, and an awkward look appeared on his face.

Little North snorted and charged forward with his zombie puppet.

Right when Feng Zhi was about to take action, another change occurred.

Bang!

The ground beneath Feng Zhi’s feet cracked again, and a second zombie appeared behind him.

Feng Zhi was on guard, but unfortunately, something gripped his leg. Another pair of hands had shot out from the ground to seize his foot.

Pain shot up his leg, and Feng Zhi could not help but panic. When he lowered his head to look, he found that there was actually a third zombie.

Bang!

What surprised him even more was that the slash when he cut at the zombie behind him missed. The zombie puppets were very nimble; their speed was simply astonishing.

After missing, Feng Zhi knew that the situation was bad.

As expected, a needle that could pierce through defenses shot out of the body of the zombie behind him. The creature also struck Feng Zhi’s body with its claws. A few dark marks were drawn on his body.

That attack was quickly followed by the second zombie puppet.

“Get lost!”

Feng Zhi took up his saber with both hands and swung viciously at his feet. A powerful force was sent slicing at the ground, and he managed to force away the claws of the zombie in the ground. Shattered stones flew everywhere, and they knocked away the two zombies nearby.

But Little North was not so easy to deal with.

He delivered a palm strike through the air, and he was just in time to attack Feng Zhi’s body when the other’s attack ended, because he had already become used to Feng Zhi’s attacks and strength.

Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm increased 20 Affinity and 20 Arm Strength, and once it was refined up to the third echelon, it increased its user’s Affinity and Arm Strength by fifty. It also increased 50% of the user’s attack speed. With his Life and Death Realm Bone-corroding Palm, Little North’s speed was so quick that he looked like he was not human.

Feng Zhi only felt a foul-smelling wind charging at his face. He did not have time to avoid it. Before he knew it, there was already a wound on his body.

When he heard the repeated notifications from the system telling him that he was poisoned, a dark aura surrounded Feng Zhi’s face. He could not care about attacking Little North anymore. He just retreated from the battlefield.

Unfortunately, once he was poisoned by Thousand Year Corpse King’s arm, his abilities were reduced by 20%, and that was similar to falling by two qi realms. Little North had been waiting for that exact moment!

He surrounded Feng Zhi from three directions with two of his zombie puppets and competed against each other to attack him.

The zombie puppets were as strong as Thousand Year Corpse King, and at that moment, their movement speed did not lose to that of Feng Zhi. They weaved their attacks in the shape of a triangle, while Little North remained hidden behind them. He would only occasionally send a claw strike at Feng Zhi through the air.

Since Little North’s attack speed was very fast and he also had the zombie puppets changing positions to distract Feng Zhi’s attention, Feng Zhi was surrounded by trouble, especially since his speed was reduced. He was instantly pushed into a corner.

Within a breath, Little North gained complete control of the situation!
