Sword Among Us-Chapter 1238: The Snake Opens Its Eyes, Its Fangs Are Revealed

Green Lit Wooden Fish's blessing could be said to be very similar to Whirlwind Young Li's.

One of them stayed for years in the Murong Clan and wasted too much time learning one hundred martial arts. In the end, he had to practice even harder than before so that he could catch up to others.

Green Lit Wooden Fish had to leave for Persia for a highly difficult quest from Shaolin Temple, and he stayed there for more than half a year. He returned to the Chinese plains when he had almost given up on the quest, and he started training hard.

But both of them were really lucky.

One of them obtained Star Sucking Great Skill and a chance provided by Happy, so he got himself Shifting Stars. After working hard for years and acc.u.mulating his strength, he shone brilliantly during the tournament in Lovely Land, and with just one breath, he became someone who surpassed even supreme-class elites.

The other was no simple character as well.

He finally completed the quest that he never managed to complete for years. Not only did he manage to get Golden Arhat Body, which was an Inaction Realm Shaolin ultimate skill so that he could turn himself into an indestructible body, he also practiced the '卍' palm technique, which was very similar to Shaolin Temple's Buddha's Palm.

Both of them were able to have two ultimate techniques to make them powerful, and they rose to power.

When Whirlwind Young Li used a very excited but also dejected tone to talk about his and Green Lit Wooden Fish's situation to Happy, Happy fell silent.

"Are you saying that someone supported Green Lit Wooden Fish in secret, just like I did with you?"

"This is just my guess." Whirlwind Young Li sent a private message very cautiously. "I just find it strange. How could a person who has already given on his quest for years suddenly complete his quest? At the same time, he also completed another quest that is just as difficult as the quest to get Golden Arhat Bell, and he obtained another Shaolin Temple ultimate technique. If he's really that lucky, then I have nothing to say about it. But if there's someone supporting him, I think that the person's strength and influence in the game is just as great as yours…

"Also, a few days ago, I received a private email."

"Oh?"

"That person offered me very great rewards and hoped that I could become a spy in Lovely Land. He just wants me to be able to go to the place he chooses to work."

When he said this, Whirlwind Young Li did something sensible and stopped talking.

Indeed, there was no need for him to continue speaking.

There were only two people who were qualified enough and had the motive to make such grand offers.

Dream Clouds!

The other person was Evil Emperor!

Whirlwind Young Li suspected Evil Emperor.

But due to some information that he learned beforehand, Happy knew that Evil Emperor would not carry this out.

It was because if Evil Emperor truly had a fortuitous event that was similar to Whirlwind Young Li's, he would definitely take care of his subordinates as well as increase the strength of one of his powerful subordinates, why would he possibly give it to someone who had nothing to do with him for years and had never contacted him for years?

It was clear that Green Lit Wooden Fish was not someone from Wild Wolves.

This person was among the first to enter World of Martial Arts, and the Wild Wolves had joined much later compared to him!

However, Dream Clouds might not have set up this chess piece either.

He did not manage to find any traces of Green Lit Wooden Fish being connected to her in both worlds, and this was the evidence.

Happy believed that if Green Lit Wooden Fish was truly someone who was deliberately sent into Lovely Land, he might have only decided to work together with them spontaneously, and he was someone to whom Dream Clouds had chosen just as spontaneously.

With Dream Clouds' wealth and strength, buying someone's loyalty was not impossible.

When he thought of this, Happy started thinking as he stared at the top of the tower.

Dream Clouds should no longer possess the strength to cause any trouble.

But if Evil Emperor had successfully perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds. He could lead the two thousand people in West Region and work together with Dream Clouds. They would truly be able to bring about the third disaster to the Chinese plains.

If that were the case, then it would not be strange for Dream Clouds to be able to cause trouble.

He believed that the four supreme-class elites who had displayed great strength were all her targets. There was no need to worry about Whirlwind Young Li, he was someone who could be bought. Once he obtained Shifting Stars and Star Sucking Great Skill, it became even more impossible for them to buy over Whirlwind Young Li.

Wind Void was Dream Clouds' mortal enemy. Unless Dream Clouds lost a few screws in her mind, she would never try to buy her over.

Orochimaru…

Happy stared at Orochimaru and frowned a little.

If Whirlwind Young Li had been offered the chance to join Class One Hall with the strength he displayed, it was impossible for Dream Clouds to not offer Orochimaru a chance to join Class One Hall.

He could really not tell when it came to that person.

Also, the timing was just right…

Green Lit Wooden Fish's strength had increased drastically, and he joined the ranks of the top three strongest in Lovely Land. If he had been bought over by Dream Clouds along with Orochimaru, this time, it would mean that Dream Clouds had managed to gather two super-class elites for Class One Hall from his tournament.

'Well, would you look at that?'

When he thought of this, even Happy could not help but frown a little. He moved the finger on the table slightly and started tapping against it gently.

Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and Wandering Know-it-all's attention were all gathered on Happy's face, and they were slightly shocked.

"What is it, Sect Master?"

Ji Feng was an incredibly sensitive person. When he saw that Happy had sunk into deep thought, he asked in slight unease.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

Happy tapped against the table. His tone changed, and he said something that caused all the people on the stage for the hosts to be dumbfounded.

"Has Dream Clouds done anything recently?"

Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao opened his mouth slightly.

Wandering Know-it-all instantly frowned and said, "Happy, do you need my help?"

He knew that if Happy had suddenly mentioned Dream Clouds right now, he must have his reasons for doing so. That woman must definitely be thinking about causing trouble again.

"There's no need for that. That woman has been really secretive with her actions, and she has become even more careful with what she's doing. To fend against you, she has released a lot of her orders outside the game, and she won't let us find any clues." Happy might be speaking as if nothing had happened at all, but he still proved that he had noticed something from Dream Clouds.

But he was not trying to make a statement of anything by saying this. He was just indirectly giving a reminder to the two sect leaders beside him.

Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao's reactions under his spirit sense was really obvious.

"Sect Master Happy, if this woman is doing anything strange, please tell us immediately. We cannot let this woman act recklessly in the Chinese server again."

"That's right!"

"It's a pity that we can't rush into inns to kill people, or else, I'd really want to rush into the inn and drag her out…" When Happy heard the two sect leaders' words, he smiled.

"Don't be hasty, you two. As of right now, I've already noticed some signs. I can't have proof that can show that Dream Clouds wants to do anything."

Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao frowned even further.

The more Happy comforted them in this manner, the more they thought that Dream Clouds was planning something in secret, and they felt that Dream Clouds was plotting something big.

Just as they were anxious to learn more information, the stalemate between the three supreme-class elites on the tower was finally broken!

Boom!

As a thick black smoke was released, the dazzling golden plate was suddenly grabbed by a flying claw made of refined steel. Then, it disappeared in a flash.

Happy might have been talking to Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao, but his spirit sense was constantly trained on the tower.

Naturally, he saw the whole process.

As Green Lit Wooden Fish' strength gradually recovered, the atmosphere among Orochimaru, Wind Void, and Green Lit Wooden Fish became extremely tense.

When a fight was about to break out, Orochimaru made a reckless move. He drew a smoke bomb and instantly disrupted the visibility at the top of the tower. At the same time, he used the chance to grab the plate while everyone was not paying attention to him.

Now, the tournament had entered its most crucial state. At this moment, all its participants were very sensitive! There was no doubt that anyone who showed any signs of greed to the plate and did anything to get it would find the other two parties working together to fight against him.

But Orochimaru chose to boldly act at this moment. With just one move, he grabbed the plate against Wind Void and Green Lit Wooden Fish's expectations.

Whoosh!

Clearly, Orochimaru had made careful plans before this. He did not get out of the thick smoke immediately.

The first to get out of the thick smoke were Wind Void and Green Lit Wooden Fish!

These two were people whose minds worked really quickly.

When they discovered Orochimaru's plans, they immediately charged in the direction of the stage of the hosts, intending to use the sound of something charging through the air to guide them and stop the person who was rushing forward.

However, while the righteous were strong, those who were outlaws were even stronger!

As they followed the sound of something breaking through air, they found that only a cloak had rushed out of the smoke.

'No!'

'We were deceived!'

When these two people charged out of the smoke, they immediately noticed that they had only been chasing after a cloak. Their expressions changed at the same time, and when they turned their heads around, they noticed an even faster figure shooting out of the top of the tower. With the plate in hand, he traveled in the direction opposite these two.

'Smart!'

Phantasmal Shadow, Lin Xiao, and all the people on the audience seat were thrown off guard by Orochimaru's series of schemes and plots. Their eyes shone with all sorts of emotions.

The chaotic fight between the three supreme-class elites had finally turned even more intense.

Orochimaru instantly widened the distance between himself and the other two by 165 feet. He did not slow down. At the same time, whenever he landed on the marble slabs, he would use hidden force, causing the marble slabs behind him to spin madly so that he created more trouble to the people behind him.

When they saw this, all the people in the tournament area understood. Orochimaru was clearly trying to use the tower to stall for time until he lasted for three minutes with the plate!

Since all three of them were equally matched, if Orochimaru really wanted to use the tower to stall for time, he actually had a very high chance to be able to drag this out for three minutes!

Green Lit Wooden Fish and Wind Void were trapped in a difficult situation.

If they could not intercept Orochimaru and get the plate from him within a short period of time, they would be disqualified, and their chances with Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy would be gone.

"You attack from the left, and I'll go to the right!"

Green Lit Wooden Fish had his expression become stern, and he quickly said these words to Wind Void, who was not far away.

Wind Void said nothing.

But both of them moved to their respective positions. They moved away from the obstacles Orochimaru created and tried to launch a pincer attack.

"Interesting."

When he saw this, Happy sucked in a deep breath.

'It has ended…'

Indeed, it had ended.

Perhaps Green Lit Wooden Fish and Wind Void were equals with Orochimaru in terms of strength. Perhaps they might even be stronger than he was, but when it came to schemes, Orochimaru was clearly much more experienced, since he would do anything to achieve his goals.

His timing, usage of small items, control over his mindset, his use of the environment, and his own strength had managed to successfully allow him to separate Green Lit Wooden Fish and Wind Void.

Once the both of them split up, he only had to face one opponent at a time!

As long as Orochimaru retained his wits, it would be very easy for him to break free from one single opponent.

Wind Void and Green Lit Wooden Fish had already lost their final chance.

Just as Happy expected, Orochimaru tossed dozens of smoke bombs into the area.

As layers of black smoke spread out, the marble slabs where Green Lit Wooden Fish, Wind Void, and Orochimaru stood were all shrouded.
