Sword Among Us

Chapter 974: Golden Saber Constable

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Golden Rakkhasa was always a hot-tempered person, and when his mission of sneaking into the Chinese server to assassinate Wind Chimes failed, he originally became incredibly gloomy.

Golden Rakkhasa wanted badly to catch the person who unexpectedly appeared to throw a spanner into the works of their plan and flay him alive before using his fat to light up lamps.

But what he did not expect was that when the trio wanted to rob Chinese sects and get some pocket money before they went back, that accursed person who destroyed their plan not only did not flee into the distance, he put on a disguise and took up a business deal to assassinate the three of them, who were experts in assassination. The most infuriating was that once this person managed to fool them with his actions, he extended his hand and crushed him to death. His actions were shart and resolute, causing him to have no chance in fighting back.

He was instantly killed.

And just now, he had even mocked Bloody Hell Saber for being killed.

In the end, he was killed instantly by Happy with just one move, and he had not even seen Happy’s real face.

This was pure humiliation!

At the moment Golden Rakkhasa was revived in Guanlin Temple, he reacted like a gunpowder warehouse that was lit. Under a group of people’s fearful gazes, he rushed out of the temple with a murderous air, crushed an Illusion Life and Death Pill, and charged to the spot he died with a mad dash.

“Brat!”

When he returned to the scene of the accident, Golden Rakkhasa immediately saw Happy drenched in blood. His bloodshot eyes looked as if they were about to start burning, and the anger in his chest also started burning even more fiercely than before at a pace he could not control.

Golden Rakkhasa was livid.

This was a Chinese player who was reduced to a pathetic state by Flame Wolf and Bloody Hell Saber, but Golden Rakkhasa himself was instantly killed. He did not even have the strength to fight back.

“Die!”

He roared in anger, and Golden Rakkhasa broke the silence between the three of them.

At the moment Flame Wolf saw Golden Rakkhasa, he sensed that something was off, but he did not expect that Golden Rakkhasa would still desperately seize the initiative to attack despite seeing Bloody Hell Saber’s corpse. He could only shout a warning at him, and then, he was forced to rush forward to support Golden Rakkhasa.

Bloody Hell Saber was much more level-headed than Golden Rakkhasa, but he was still killed by Happy with just one sword thrust. Flame Wolf definitely could not let Golden Rakkhasa fight against Happy alone.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for Flame Wolf to help Golden Rakkhasa.

Almost at the same time Golden Rakkhasa roared and attacked, Happy, who was mostly healed from his injuries, had already turned around resolutely to face him.

Dragon Capture!

When he saw that Happy wanted to use that attack right when they met again, Golden Rakkhasa’s pupils shrank, and his momentum when he charged forward came to a halt. “Dream on!”

Boom!

He activated his body fortification, and palm-generated shadows that filled the air charged forward.

When he saw this, Flame Wolf’s expression turned pale.

His mind automatically conjured the scene of Bloody Hell Saber’s death. To prevent Golden Rakkhasa from dying in Happy’s hands once more, he could not help but quicken his footsteps while he cried out anxiously, “Don’t let him get near you!”

Before his voice faded away, Happy suddenly stopped charging forward. His body did a bizarre one hundred and eighty degree turn before he rushed to Flame Wolf.

Everything happened too quickly.

Happy had changed directions without warning, and not only did Golden Rakkhasa not react to the situation, even Flame Wolf could not help but look shocked. He did not notice that at that moment, there was less than sixty-five feet between him and Happy.

Their gazes met, and the two crashed into each other with a terrifying strength.

‘Oh no!’

It was only then that Flame Wolf understood that he fell into a trap.

From the beginning, Happy’s target had never been Golden Rakkhasa.

No matter how slow Golden Rakkhasa was in the head, after being killed once, the trauma from it would definitely make him cautious.

Happy used this cautious nature within Golden Rakkhasa and Flame Wolf’s worry for him to ingeniously set up a trap to kill Flame Wolf.

Happy judged that there were limitations to execute a final move with such powerful effects. Perhaps he could only use it once a day, had to pay a large price for it, had to make preparations for it, or something along the lines.

Happy thought about all sorts of possibilities, which was why he came to the conclusion that Flame Wolf could not effectively activate that final move in haste, and while he was caught off guard, he could not work together with Golden Rakkhasa. Hence, Happy created his own chance.

Just as he expected, during the critical moment, when Flame Wolf saw Happy arrive in front of him, his pupils shrank, and that astonishing presence descended once more.

Bind!

The black flames instantly enveloped his entire body, and it grabbed Happy like a huge palm.

Cries of surprise rose once more from the area.

Whirlwind Young Li and Wen Yuan found themselves unable to keep watching. It was as if the scene from before was about to appear again.

However, what surprised everyone was that at the moment Happy was bound, he put on a happy and smug smile.

‘I knew it. If he activates that move by force, the binding effect only lasts for one second, and after that, this move only slows down my movement speed...’

One second was not enough for Golden Rakkhasa to react to the situation and catch up to Happy.

“Damn it!” Flame Wolf’s expression was pale.

He did not dare to continuously activate his aura. At the moment the binding effect was gone, he landed on the ground and beautifully avoided the attack Happy executed with Dragon Swings Its Tail.

‘I missed? As expected, he’s not easy to deal with.’

Even if he missed, Happy was not surprised. He stared at Flame Wolf while he fled from Happy without even turning his head around, and a pleased look flashed in his eyes.

The move just now had clearly caused Flame Wolf’s qi realm to fall by one whole level. Right now, he was only at Moksha Realm. He would not dare to fight against Happy for at least fifteen seconds.

At that moment, Golden Rakkhasa was already beside himself with anger.

He had, after much effort, rushed over here to take revenge, but Happy had instead charged at him as a response to his attack, and when Flame Wolf shouted at him, he had actually been stupid enough to stop and activate his body fortification, thereby losing a perfect chance to kill Happy, and it was all for nothing. If he had to wait for Flame Wolf to be able to execute his ultimate technique—Universe in Hand—he would have to wait until his qi realm recovered to Inaction Realm, and that meant he had to wait for more than twenty seconds.

He had actually stopped right in front of so many people because he was scared. Golden Rakkhasa felt that he had been utterly humiliated, and he rushed toward Happy once more without stopping.

But Happy turned around at the same time, as if he shared the same thoughts as he did, and rushed at Golden Rakkhasa!

Hidden force?

He noticed the hidden force coming at him from the ground, and Golden Rakkhasa’s gaze turned fierce. He returned one attack without refusing to back down, and their attacks rammed furiously into each other.

Golden Rakkhasa was clearly an elite who was skilled in fistfights and brawls. The ferocity and momentum in his attacks was something that even Silver Wolf could not quite match up to!

His fists and kicks tore through the air, and sonic booms came charging at Happy like thunder.

At that moment, Happy could more or less understand why Golden Rakkhasa did not bring out any weapons. His skill with his fists and kicks was the best among the people he had ever seen.

Perhaps only giants like Shi Zhixuan could hope to compare to Golden Rakkhasa. Mad Monk did not count, because he never truly attacked.

However, everyone in the other world knew that no one was to engage in close-quarters combat in front of Happy, because they would just die even faster!

*****

Dragon Capture!

At the moment he activated Dragon Capture, Happy actually felt a heavy feeling in his heart.

In this world, he was once a person who longed for greater technique and strength. If he engaged in a real melee expert in normal combat, even if he died, he would just find it an enjoyment.

But this person was from Wild Wolves.

At that moment, their personal victory was no longer important!

Golden Rakkhasa represented Wild Wolves, an evil organization that was basically the emperor of the underground and could act as they pleased in World of Martial Arts.

And he represented the Chinese players.

In the end, Happy did not give up on using his strength to kill Golden Rakkhasa.

Even though the resistance from Golden Rakkhasa’s hidden force was astonishing and had resolutely negated Happy’s attack, Happy was already prepared for it a long time ago, and without his expression changing, he continued closing in on Golden Rakkhasa with short and swift steps.

He had been accumulating his hidden force, and as he switched from a claw attack to a palm attack, it crushed the defense line Golden Rakkhasa formed in his body like it was a brittle leaf.

He then activated Dragon Capture again!

A hint of panic and fear finally flashed briefly in Golden Rakkhasa’s eyes.

“Don’t use fist techniques in front of me next time.”

He seized Golden Rakkhasa’s arm, and Happy spun behind Golden Rakkhasa before he seized his the important acupressure points in his meridian system with Dragon Capture. Then, with a reverse grip, he grabbed Golden Rakkhasa’s neck.

‘Damn it, it’s that move again!’

At the moment his neck was seized, Golden Rakkhasa could not help but curse in his heart. Then, his consciousness was quickly vanquished.

*****

Once Golden Rakkhasa died, the fight between them ended.

When Flame Wolf saw that Happy had grabbed Golden Rakkhasa, he knew that Golden Rakkhasa would definitely die. Hence, he immediately ran out of the crowd without hesitation and fled into the distance.

When Happy turned his head around and found that he could not locate Flame Wolf, he found himself unable to do anything about the situation as well.

Even though he had the ability to kill Flame Wolf, if he really wanted to run, he could do nothing about it as well.

However, his rewards for the day were pretty good.

He managed to get an equipment from Bloody Hell Saber, two equipment from Golden Rakkhasa, and coupled with the few pieces of equipment he got from them on Common Reed Land, those three Wild Wolves might have to run around for the time being by grabbing some random equipment to avoid letting people know that they just lost their equipment.

Happy grinned as he held two pairs of pants before he suddenly turned around and looked forty-five degrees up at the sky.

“If you’re done watching, you can come down now, my friends on the roof.”

Silence.

Quite a number of people on the streets looked at each other at a loss.

There were a large number of people watching the fight. Why was Happy paying such attention to the people on the roof? Could it be that Wild Wolves actually sent more than three people here?

Just when a lot of people began to have their imaginations run wild, an old man and a young man with normal getups appeared on the roof.

The old man might be dressed in cotton, but he looked hale and hearty, and he had an elegant but awe-inspiring air about him.

The young man was around sixteen to seventeen years ago. He sat on the roof in a lackadaisical manner while he looked down from above. “You have guts to kill and commit crimes right in front of so many people while it’s still bright outside. And you didn’t even leave. Aren’t you really brave?”

When they saw these two people, the players on the street sucked in sharp breaths, and some people were unable to help but cry out in surprise, “Golden Saber Constables!”

Those who were observant discovered that there were indeed distinct golden gereges hanging at the old man and teenager’s waists. On the gerege was the word “Constable” carved on it. The words looked energetic but also gentle. It was clear that it was the gereges that only the constables who had reached Myth Realm or who had made unique contributions could obtain.

“My friends, are you here to capture me?”

Happy stood in the middle of the street and faced the two Golden Saber Constables who stood above him, but he did not show the panic normal players showed. Instead, he looked composed and calm. He just asked that question as if he was talking about the weather.

“Of course we’re here to capture you, or else, do you think we’re actually so free that we’d come to someone else’s rooftop to relax?” The young constable rolled his eyes at Happy in annoyance.

The old constable snorted coldly and answered, “We originally came on orders to capture you and send you into prison, but when we were coming here, we received orders from our higher ups that someone utilized their connections to pardon you of your crimes. So, now, nothing will happen to you.”

“Oh?” Happy was stunned.

Originally, when he noticed these two Golden Saber Constables appear, he found the situation a little strange, because he was puzzled by how they did not attack him immediately. He did not expect that they would actually say these.

When he thought about this, Happy knew who helped him.
