Sword Among Us

Chapter 685: Twin Demons

The most direct manifestation of Happy’s words was in the borders of West Region. Stricter limitations and regulations appeared in the area that Phoenix Dances managed. Different degrees of limitations and warnings appeared in the area Rampaging Dragon managed as well, and it was the same for the area Momo managed.

All members of the higher level management in Mu Clan set up different degrees of restrictions and warnings to the people they managed once they received the news.

At the same time, the monopolization of Sky Demon Secret Cave proceeded smoothly.

The reward of ten billion taels of silver and ten sets of fourth-echelon equipment stimulated the passion within Mu Clan members to train.

The reward of twenty million was equivalent to getting nearly one million RMB. The students of the University of South China were the first to go into a craze of training, and it then spread to all of Mu Clan.

When some of the large sects heard about this later, they gasped in astonishment.

Mu Clan had gained a lot of profit during the feast, but who would have expected that they would immediately spend an even larger amount of money. This sort of spending was something that no one else could replicate in World of Martial Arts.

*****

After the duel, Mu Clan continued to make large spendings one after another, and all of them caused the people to gasp in amazement.

The first was the Seventh Sword, which stood at the top of Divine Weapon Rank. It went from the third echelon to the fourth, and its attack reached an astonishing six thousand points!

The entire world of martial artists trembled because of it!

A fourth-echelon high-grade divine weapon!

The mementom One Emperor gave Happy to commemorate their fight at Mount Tai increased in value by leaps and bound.

Then, another weapon appeared on Divine Weapon Rank and dethroned Seventh Sword from its position at the top.

Dragon Saber, and it was a fourth-echelon Dragon Saber!

Its damage reached eight thousand points, and it had the crushing and defense breaking effect. It also had Dragon Saber’s will in it, allowing it to be frighteningly lethal. It was considered a supreme grade divine weapon.

Countless martial artists were repeatedly shocked, and they could not find any energy to train on that day. Everyone just talked about the fourth-echelon Dragon Saber in restaurants and the streets.

Quite a number of people cursed the spendthrift scoundrel for daring to even refine Dragon Saber.

If the slightest mistake happened during the refinement of a supreme grade divine weapon, it would be completely ruined!

But once everyone learned of the identity of Dragon Saber’s owner, all their voices instantly vanished.

*****

The next half a month quickly passed with numerous gossips and an abnormal state of silence in the game.

*****

During the half a month, the duel at the summit of Mount Tai was occasionally mentioned, but it had already passed its popularity. The people talked more about Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse, which appeared in Yangzhou City after Sky Demone Secret Cave.

As more people from the evil cult appeared, the plot of Twin of Brothers seemed to have entered a rather intense state. There were sightings of Wan Wan, who was the successor of Yin Weed Faction, though she only appeared briefly. Shi Feixuan, the successor of Kind Boathouse, could also be seen, and her contact with Xu Zhiling and Kou Zhong gradually increased.

But since players continued interfering with the plot, certain changes happened.

Xu Zhiling and Kou Zhong gained the qi for Immortality Art long before when they should according to the plot, and their qi increased by leaps and bounds. They also understood the use of Truth and Moon in Well, which allowed their strength to match that of Wan Wan, Shi Feixuan, and other martial artists who were at the peak of Inaction Realm.

Zhu Yuyuan and Shi Zhixuan’s disciples replaced Orochimaru and Lu Mingyue to become the new first and second ranks on One Hundred Demon Influence Rank.

One of them focused on practicing Great Sky Demon Art for a few months, while the other understood the use of Undying Seals. By the time they finally mastered them, they killed numerous people while following through the quests in Great Tang and gained the nickname of Twin Demons.

Both of them could be seen as powerful players who recently rose to great strength in the game. They were incredibly strong, and they both rose to the top ten of Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank in quick succession, which made them quite popular.

One day, when the news that Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse was about to be activated spread out from Yangzhou City, the elites from the righteous and evil paths entered Yangzhou. It created an atmosphere of disquiet in the holy land of Fengshui.

In Heaven Fragrant Tower, as the sounds of people walking up the stairs were heard, the people saw two figures. One of them had red hair, and the other had purple hair. When these two incredibly eye-catching hair colors showed up, the loud discussions on the first floor suddenly fell silent. There were only the loud sounds of people sucking in sharp breaths.

The redhead was a young and pretty girl. She was dressed provocatively, and her curves were alluring and tempting. Her gaze was enchanting, and she had the temperament of someone who walked down the evil path.

The man who walked up the stairs with her was quite handsome, but the dazzling purple hair and the cold killing intent about him that seemed to have substance and could even freeze the air around him was enough to tell that he was not someone who was easy to get along with.

Once these two walked up the stairs, they looked around them quickly. Then, at the same time, their eyes landed on a customer in the corner.

“Amitabha.”

The monk called out the name of Buddha from the corner and stood up from his seat.

“If you persecute me so, then this must be my fate.”

“If you know that, why are you still wasting your breath?”

The purple-haired man attacked straight away and did not care that he was in a restaurant. The tables in between him and his target were flipped over, and the martial artists at them quickly avoided the carnage. They did not dare approach the area.

At the area near the window were two young-looking men. When they saw someone fighting brazenly against a monk in a restaurant, one of them could not help but strike at the table and rise to his feet.

“How preposterous!”

“Don’t. They’re the Twin Demons,” his companion told him in a whisper.

The young man was stunned silent.

That title was like a basin of cold water poured over his head. The young man’s expression changed, and his imposing mannerisms vanished without a trace. He quickly sat down.

The purple-haired man’s skills were incredibly profound. His hands moved like black jade, and he drew dozens of sharp black claw-generated gusts of wind in the air. They howled and swiftly left behind bloody marks on the monk’s body with just a few strikes.

The red-haired woman did not show any intention to attack. She looked around the first floor with a heated and enchanting gaze before her eyes landed on a very handsome man.

“Senior Brother Hou, you’re here as well?”

Her voice was sweet and charming, and she moved to Hou Xibai’s table like a red cloud. The man had been drinking alone by the window.

“Miss, you must be mistaken.” Hou Xibai cast a nonchalant glance at the two men who were fighting fiercely on the other side. He smiled faintly before he cast a glance at the red-haired woman. “Could it be that you know Undying Seals as well?”

“Senior Brother Hou, your words are too hurtful. I am from Yin Weed Faction, and my master is Zhu Yuyuan. We are both disciples of the holy order, so it’s only natural that we are brothers and sisters.”

The red-haired woman went to Hou Xibai in a show of familiarity. Her heated gaze swept up and down his body in a seductive manner.

“I see, so you’re a junior sister from Yin Weed Faction. It seems that I have been impolite.”

But Hou Xibai did not show any signs hinting that he was sorry that he was impolite.

The red-haired woman was not surprised by it. The coquettishness of her smile did not diminish. “Senior Brother Hou, are you waiting for someone here?”

“Indeed.”

“Is it Shi Feixuan of Kind Boathouse?”

The red-haired woman was like a flower in a battlefield, but when she said those words, Hou Xibai’s expression darkened slightly. He stopped in the middle of bringing his cup to his lips.

“What do you mean?”

“You want to give the key to Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse to Kind Boathouse, and my mistress is very displeased with it. That is why we came here... to kill you.”

Before she even finished speaking, two cold sparks shot out from her mouth like lightning, and they charged straight at Hou Xibai’s chest.

Ting! Ting!

He spread out his foldable fan, and when clear sounds rose, two strange hidden weapons were sent flying away by the metallic structure of the foldable fan.

Hou Xibai stood up quickly and positioned the foldable fan horizontally over his chest. With a shout, he retreated dozens of feet away. The genial presence turned cold and dark, and as he stared into the red-haired woman’s eyes, he released a frightening chill.

“How dare you!”
