Chapter 1122: Working Together with Heavenly Saber

Phantasmal Shadow’s words could be said to have enlightened them.

Many of the players in Song House quickly understood what was going on. This time, Wandering Know-it-all had sent news to them saying that the evil cult was going to attack Song House, and this attracted countless players to the place. Perhaps he had actually done so because Happy asked him to do it.

Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and Silver Wolf looked around the area, and they could understand how the quest worked.

This time, the quest was divided into three stages.

The largest stage was to help Song House fight against the evil cult elites from attacking Song House. Those involved in this stage were to kill the normal evil cult disciples and protect Song House.

This was not the first time this normal sort of event appeared in the game, where the players were to accumulate points by killing people in exchange for spoils of war and rewards from Song House later.

However, this sort of normal quest was already not important to Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the top-class elites who had grand ambitions in their hearts. They had their eyes on an even more important part of the quest, which involved the evil cult Myth Realm elites, and among them was Empress Yin.

The points given by Myth Realm elites was even higher, and at the same time, they could even join in the quest to protect Song Shidao and Song Zhiyu. There was no need for them to even mention what sort of chances they could get.

However, not only did they need great foresight when they fought against these eleven Myth Realm evil cult elites, they also needed equivalent strength. Without strength, if they joined the fight, they would just end up dying.

This was also why even though Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the others understood the most important part of the quest, they still wisely chose not to touch it.

It was the fight between Evil King and Heavenly Saber.

The fight between the two elites who have already reached the Dao of heaven was the key to decide whether Song House or the evil cult will emerge as the victor of this war.

The person who could help Song Que turn the situation and protect Song House was the real victor! He would be the one reaping the real rewards of this quest.

Unfortunately, Evil King had already been verified to be One with the World!

Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and the others knew that they did not have the right to be involved in the crux of the quest. There were only two people in the entire Chinese server who had the right to challenge it.

*****

At that moment, Evil King and Heavenly Saber had already reached the bed of reefs to the northernmost section of the island. A violent gust of wind continuously struck the bed of reefs like a sharp blade, and it let out deafening roars.

The two people stood across each other on the reefs, and they were dozens of feet apart. They allowed the wind to blow against them, but they did not move.

Song Que, master of Song House, was like a saber that stood in the world. His awe-inspiring presence made it seem as if he was looking down on the world, and even the waves trembled before him. The waves might come at him furiously, but before they could even get close, they would be cut apart by the saber will that covered his entire body. The waves would split into two and crash by his sides.

As for Shi Zhixuan, the sleeves of his Hanfu fluttered madly as the wind blew and waves crashed around him, but his clothes were never drenched.

Fierce waves might be charging at him but when they were 16 feet away from him, they would be appeased. They would calm down, as if they were traveling downstream. They would not even cause a flashy splash.

While he still stood dozens of feet away, Evil King stared into Song Que’s eyes calmly. “Submit. If you submit to me, you can have the sect you built continue becoming strong, otherwise, from today onwards, Song House will disappear from the world of martial artists, and this will be the place where you, Heavenly Saber, will die.”

“The heavens and the earth have not been able to make me submit to them, much less you. You have neither the virtue nor the skills to make me submit to you, Shi Zhixuan.” Song Que faced the win, and his hair danced while caressing his beloved saber.

“Alright, today, I will let you witness the power of the true Dao of heaven!”

Evil King stood alone on the bed of corals and grabbed the air with one hand. Wind suddenly blew in the space around him. Countless waves then charged toward him with a whoosh.

It was as if a huge, invisible hand had appeared in front of Evil King. With the manner of dragon sucking water, he sucked the seawater around him into the air!

Boom!

A huge wave of dozens of feet high instantly formed in front of Song Que!

Evil King had fused with the world right then. It was as if he had turned into the wave, and with the violent and mighty pressure of nature, he charged toward Song Que with the wave, and it was as if a wall went straight after him.

“Break!” Song Que’s expression changed swiftly.

But when he faced the rolling wave that enveloped the whole area, a monstrous presence rose from his body.

Clang!

A fierce saber whine shook the world.

A bright and white saber glare brought with it a momentum that could cut the universe in half and went to cut the huge wave with an indomitable spirit.

Boom!

At the instant the huge wave and saber glare crashed into each other, a loud sound rose, and the huge wave exploded. The entire sea seemed to be affected at that moment.

Splashes splashed everywhere, and the saber glare flew in all directions.

But while the huge wave that covered all directions was forced back, the splashes that filled the area blurred Song Que’s vision. Endless water filled up a circular area of 328 feet.

“Oh no!”

A faint voice swiftly rose from a cliff dozens of feet away, and soon, a black figure shot out of a forest as quickly as lightning.

While he was still in the air, Happy “saw” Evil King using the breath-holding technique granted to those who were One with the World to easily get close to Song Que.

Bang!

Heavenly Saber Song Que only managed to use two moves in front of the huge wave that filled the area before Evil King managed to strike him with one palm strike. He was sent flying like a cannonball, and he only stopped when he crushed a few reefs.

Boom!

The splashes that filled the air fell with a bang, it was like a water curtain coming down with the force of a storm. A faint gasp rose from it, and Evil King’s figure could be seen vaguely behind it.

“You’re here to fight against me as well?”

He moved, and Evil King charged out of the water curtain that filled the air. He stopped on the reef across Happy, and he still remained as calm and relaxed as ever, making him seem as if he had everything under his control.

When he noticed the change within Evil King’s presence, Happy frowned. He could sense a powerful pressure and faint killing intent from him.

A system notification rose in Happy’s ears.

“Ding!

“Heavenly Saber Song Que is unable to fight against Evil King Shi Zhixuan. He is heavily injured. Out of the sense morality and justice held among those who practice martial arts, you should protect Song Que until the elites from Kind Boathouse appear! Will you accept this quest?

“If you accept this quest and succeed, you will gain Song House and Kind Boathouse’s affection. At the same time, you will obtain Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy. If you fail the quest, you will not be punished.

“If you give up on the quest, Song House will look down on you, and your Chivalry Points will fall to zero!”

When a player faced a martial artist who was One with the World, the system would not hand out requirements that were too harsh. They would not even punish him if he failed the quest.

“Accept.”

Happy did not even cast a glance at Song Que. He just accepted the most dangerous quest that had ever been handed out in the history of World of Martial Arts. He had to fight head-on against Evil King Shi Zhixuan while he was One with the World.

*****

When he saw Happy silently blocking Song Que behind him right after he showed up, there was no way Evil King would not understand what the boy was thinking about.

“I was originally thinking that you were a good seed, but since you insist on becoming my enemy, I will not allow you to continue challenging me as well!”

“Evil King!”

At that moment, a figure shot out from behind Happy with a whoosh. With white splashes around him, he landed on the reef near Happy.

Blood flowed down Song Que’s injured arm. They were mixed with water and flowed down his snow-white saber before it dyed the reef under his feet red.

Song Que!

This man stood as tall as a mountain. His eyes burned with a great refusal to admit defeat, and a fervent fighting spirit rose in him when he stood in front of Evil King once more. He said firmly, “I haven’t lost! Let’s fight again!”

Happy only had respect for this man in his fifties, who had been attempting to reach the Dao of heaven for years, who gave himself a title in the world of martial arts based on his saber, and even had a Rectification of his Name based on his saber.

He knew that Song Que was not just fighting to polish his saber will and protect the reputation of his title as Heavenly Saber, but also to buy time for Song House. At the same time, he also wanted to sense and touch the Dao of heaven under the pressure of a powerful enemy.

There were many reasons who caused Song Que to not be able to retreat.

“Today, it’s my fortune that I am able to work together with the master of Song House to fight against an enemy who has reached the Dao of heaven!” Happy did not ask Song Que to leave. Instead, he used another method to show that he was willing to work together with Song Que to fight against Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

Right after he finished speaking, Evil King instantly had the relaxed look he previously had fade away. He became cautious and solemn.

Heavenly Saber was already a martial artist who was infinitesimally close to becoming One with the World. He was not an opponent to be underestimated.

But now, this brat came over, and he had already brought him endless pressure while they fought at the nest of Yin Weed Faction. In fact, at that time, he was even forced to rely on the strength he got after he reached his breakthrough to win against this young hero in front of him, who was most definitely the strongest martial artist in the world of martial artists right now!

If these two worked together, it was truly possible that they could threaten him.

“Alright!”

Song Que might be proud, but he was not someone who adhered to old rules. The exchange of blows just now had already allowed him to know that he was far from being Evil King’s opponent. When he heard Happy’s request, he laughed boisterously before he agreed to it.

“My young friend, if you have the courage to fight against Evil King, this courage alone is already worthy of my respect. It is not shameful for me to work with you.”

“It is my honor to be able to fight against you!” Happy smiled faintly, and his gaze swiftly moved to Evil King’s face. “Faction Master Shi, please attack.”

“Hmph!”

Evil King was incredibly resolute. He just raised his hand and swung it.

Boom!

The sea exploded!

A cold and endless power appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, a huge wave that was more than thirty feet long rose, and it headed to Happy and Song Que violently.

“Perfect timing.”

Song Que had suffered quite the setback because of this one attack from Evil King. When he saw Evil King’s starting stance, he delivered a saber glare that pierced through the air without hesitation.

Eight Heavenly Saber Styles!

Due to his knowledge about Evil King, when Song Que attacked, he used the saber attack that was his pride and joy, and it was also the one that made him famous.

The great saber will instantly pierced through the huge wave in the distance. It was split open in the middle, and at the same time, the remaining power in that force sent the huge wave crumbling in the air.

However, since two astonishing presences crashed violently against each other in the air, it still caused splashes to fill the air, and Evil King vanished from their sight once more.

“Young friend, be careful!”

After all, Song Que suffered a setback in Evil King’s hands once, and he soon noticed that the swift sound of the splashes pushing at air was going straight at Happy. He quickly shouted a word of warning at Happy.

Even though it was very difficult for Happy to lock down on Evil King after he became One with the World, Happy was not afraid of Evil King at all at that moment. He stood where he was without moving, and a thick true origin aura gushed out of his body and his limbs to instantly form an aura.

Song Que was also shocked by the thick aura that suddenly rose from Happy, and he finally understood that this seemingly inconspicuous boy seemed to truly have the strength to fight against Evil King.

At the moment this thought flashed in his mind, a change happened.

Bang!

Right when the splashes that filled the air enveloped Happy, he was sent flying away like a cannonball.

However, a milky white light appeared among the splashes, a presence that did not lose to the attack from Heavenly Saber just now instantly rose from among the splashes.

Bang!

Happy’s body crashed against the reefs violently, but he was not hurt. He somersaulted and landed steadily near Song Que.

Whoosh!

The water and fog caused by it fell on the ground.

Evil King’s body was shown on the reef dozens of feet away. His expression was incredibly sour as wind blew against him. He was no longer as elegant and composed as before. His left sleeve fluttered madly in the wind, and a few holes could be vaguely seen on his sleeve as it fluttered in the wind.
