However, Yan Biwu did not feel satisfied or proud about it.
Killing five top-class elites in succession was an impressive result, even for a Tang Sect hidden weapons elite, but all this was not due to his efforts alone.
If that person had not used himself to attract most of the people's attention, if the dozens of Wind Assault Tower aces had not been fighting at the frontlines, and if it were not for Demonic Zither, the damage from their hidden weapons would not be able to bring out their damage so fully.
Also, quietly attacking and using the most high-end hidden weapons to scheme against people while there were so many outside factors interfering with the enemies' concentration would not bring him much joy.
In comparison, Happy moved around in the crowd and was capable of attracting most of the top-class players' firepower in an orderly fashion, and he did so while he was surrounded by all these powerful players. He could even easily kill these players, to whom many people in the game viewed as untouchable. This was what was considered true strength.
This was the true reason why Wind Assault Tower was still able to struggle at their last breath even when Dream Clouds dealt such a powerful blow at them.
"Careful!"
"Evil Emperor is here!"
"Archers, get ready!"
Just when Yan Biwu swiftly searched for his next target, he suddenly heard nervous and panicked screams rise behind him.
Before he got closer, a pressure that was bordering on destructive enveloped the entire Wind Assault Tower from above. Evil Emperor had personally arrived in the area, and he quickly stirred up unprecedented panic and nervousness in the headquarters.
Wu Kuo and the others were incredibly tense. They stared at the white-haried Evil Emperor who came airborne from afar, and they released various orders swiftly.
"Fire!"
"Don't let him get close to the headquarters!"
Wu Kuo was Phantasmal Shadow's older brother, and he was currently the one who knew Evil Emperor's strength the best in the headquarters. He knew very clearly that Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art was a martial art that had surpassed the boundaries of the current martial arts in the game. It was a supreme martial art, and every action Evil Emperor did was fused with a strange mental power. The pressure he released was one directed at the mind, and no matter what sort of martial art he used, he could magnify its power by several fold, which was just plain ridiculous. It would be incredibly difficult for a person to withstand it. One Emperor had refined his willpower because he had had extraordinary encounters during his time in the game, which was why he could last through more than one hundred moves under Evil Emperor.
A normal person would have a hard time even attacking Evil Emperor!
With just one glance, he could make a person feel as if he was caught in a nightmare. It would be difficult for the person to even circulate his true qi, and if Evil Emperor took the initiative to attack, they could not even fight back against him.
Right now, Evil Emperor had not even entered Wind Assault Tower's headquarters, and the mental suppression from Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art had already caused many of them to feel that their movements were restricted. If Evil Emperor drew even closer, their defense lines would crumble straightaway, and the headquarters would soon face a destructive attack, which would be a disaster to them. Perhaps before their tower master came back to provide reinforcements, Wind Assault Tower would have already collapsed.
'No! I have to think of everything I can to stop Evil Emperor and stall for as much time as possible!'
Under Wu Kuo's orders, a large number of archers surged out from the hall. Many of them drew their bows fully, and their arrows were quickly placed on their bows.
An arrow shower charged forward.
However, at the same time they attacked, a pressure that filled the entire area swiftly descended on them!
Boom!
The group of people felt their bodies sink. Their arrows instantly lost their target. They shivered as they passed by Evil Emperor, and they could not pose as any degree of threat or damage to Evil Emperor at all.
"Just a group of ants."
Evil Emperor stood in the air. With the wind behind him, he flew over the walls and main door of the headquarters. The powerful pressure that came with him pushed down on the group of archers on the stairs so greatly that they could practically not fire the second wave of arrows. The scorn in Evil Emperor's eyes became even clearer.
Since a group of Tang Sect elites had joined the fight in the hall in the headquarters, more than eighty top-class elites died. Now, there were fewer than one hundred and sixty top-class elites left.
Right now, Evil Emperor had personally joined the battle, and Wind Assault Tower's momentum was reduced once more.
However, what caused them to feel resigned was that the mental pressure from Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art affected everyone in its area of effect. Those from Class One Hall did not appear to be more relaxed because Evil Emperor arrived, or else, once Evil Emperor showed up, it would be impossible for Wind Assault Tower to continue defending their headquarters.
Zither sounds, hidden weapons, and arrow showers all lost the element that made them intimidating at that moment.
It seemed as if only Evil Emperor could walk in the air alone in the world right now, and under countless people's respectful gazes, he leisurely walked around while he released an awe-inspiring might that spread far and wide.
But at that moment, a few screams of pain rose from Class One Hall's crowd. It was so abrupt that it attracted everyone's attention within the headquarters, including Evil Emperor. Even he showed a hint of surprise, and when he looked down from above, he saw a person who still managed to swing his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword with the same agile movements and the same speed under Evil Emperor's mental suppression. Evil Emperor frowned a little before he released a cold snort. Crackling sounds rose in the air, and a storm with a mental suppression that was much stronger than before was instantly formed before it charged toward Happy.
Chapter 1046 - You Fight Yours, and I’ll Kill Mine
Happy was filled with a strange emotion right now. Originally, when Evil Emperor's mental suppression came, he became wary, because he had experienced One Emperor's first person point-of-view in his battle replay against Evil Emperor before, and he knew that Evil Emperor's mental suppression was incredibly powerful. He could make a person feel as if their movements were restricted, and their combat strength would be largely reduced.
At the moment he was truly enveloped by this mental suppression, Happy found out that all the Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall aces around him were also largely suppressed, thus creating a sight where only Evil Emperor stood supreme in the world, causing all those who saw him to be unable to help but have the feeling that it was difficult to fight against him rise in their hearts, and they also respected him.
But Happy was curious. When the mental suppression enveloped him, the circulation speed for his Tendon Changing Classic had actually suddenly increased.
If a person were mentally suppressed, the circulation speed for his qi and blood would slow down, but at the moment Happy's Tendon Changing Classic circulated, he was filled with strength! The mighty pressure that surrounded him and affected the circulation of his qi from outside disappeared without a trace in an instant.
'I recovered?'
Even Happy felt that it was strange and unbelievable.
But Evil Emperor had already moved over his head, and Happy knew that the moment that decided Wind Assault Tower's survival had arrived.
However, Evil Emperor's strength had transcended all other players. If he appeared in front of Evil Emperor recklessly right now, he would not be able to change Wind Assault Tower's tragic fate. Hence, it would be better…
Happy made his decision in an instant.
Class One Hall's greatest strength was Evil Emperor and the remaining one hundred and sixty aces right now.
Happy was not conf
ident in winning against Evil Emperor alone, but right now, everyone was affected by Evil Emperor's mental suppression, and their movements had slowed down. They were much weaker than before, and this was the best opportunity to weaken Class One Hall!
Killing intent rose in him. Happy quietly stuffed an Origin Leopard Pill into his mouth. Then, he swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword without hesitation.
Whoosh!
A black aquatic dragon roared and charged at a few Class One Hall elites in front of him, and they were the ones who were outstanding and were rather difficult to deal with.
This group of people were currently enveloped by Evil Emperor's mental suppression, and most of their attention was on Evil Emperor. They would not be able to expect that there was someone who could move about at ease under such a terrifying, mighty pressure.
When they noticed that Happy was actually perfectly fine, the group could no longer react to the situation.
Boom!
But they could not escape.
There was no one around them who could stop Happy. The group could only watch helplessly as Happy swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword like a crazed demon. He instantly killed five people, and he severely injured the ten aces around him.
At the moment Happy attacked, he knew that he did not have a lot of time. Evil Emperor would not allow him to kill so easily in an environment he created. To him, not only would that show that his mental suppression was useless, Happy would also be provoking his might. It was a quiet blow to his dignity.
Happy seized every moment he had and tried to kill as many people as possible.
At that moment, he no longer kept his Full Winds in Long Skies hidden. He quickly executed his second attack.
Thud!
Bang! Bang!
More than ten Class One Hall elites were instantly killed. In fact, even a lot of people behind them were thrown off their feet when these people crashed into them. They were affected by the remaining force, and they were also quite heavily injured.
But Happy did not manage to get another chance to attack.
As expected of Evil Emperor. In just the span of a breath, he had easily managed to make the entire dimension appear as if it had been swathed in a suffocating atmosphere.
Those enemies who had anger and fear in their eyes had these expressions on their faces that said that they were about to delight in Happy's suffering, and that their hatred had been vented. They stared at Happy as he was surrounded by a black tornado that surrounded him, and it was as if they could already see Happy being reduced to dust under Evil Emperor's hands.
However, Happy's reaction was completely different from what they expected.
When the fatal blow was about to descend on him, Happy did not show any intention to stop and block or avoid the attack. In fact, he did not stop chasing after their lives. A great wave of qi suddenly spread out from his body, and he pounced on his next target without slowing down.
The person who was the closest to Happy was so terrified that his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He could not avoid it in time. A terrifying gash was torn from his shoulder to his t.h.i.g.h when Happy swung Recondite Steel Heavy Sword down.
Almost at the same time, the tornado that dealt an attack to the mind threw Happy more than thirty feet away viciously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A circular area of more than thirty-two feet was enveloped within Evil Emperor's attack range. The ground exploded, and a group of Class One Hall members looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They grunted and staggered backward. There was blood at the corners of their lips, and they looked incredibly pathetic.
A few Class One Hall members who had blood trickling out of the corners of their mouths finally stopped and stared at the center of the storm while it ran rampant in the area. Their eyes were filled with delight after their hatred had been vented, and they wanted to witness Happy's pathetic state at first moment.
But at that moment, just when the area was reduced to utter chaos because of Evil Emperor's mental attack, a black figure tore through the dust that filled the air at the lightning speed and charged out.
Three Class One Hall elites had their pupils shrink swiftly.
"This is bad!"
The black figure dragged behind him a large, black sword, and this delivered a shock to their minds. Before their voices faded away, a howling wind swept at them. They felt their c.h.e.s.ts tremble. Their bodies were already injured just now because of the mental attack just now, and now, it was as if Happy had poured salt on their wounds. They grunted pathetically and were sent flying.
"He's not dead!"
"Damn it! Move!"
Countless Class One Hall members who were further away behind the group cried out in surprise.
No one noticed that Evil Emperor, who moved in the air, had already stopped at that moment.
The surprised screams from below were like piercing, mocking screeches, and they caused Evil Emperor's expression to turn incredibly sour.
Happy had actually managed to withstand his attack.
He did not even bother defending his attack and took all the damage, but he was not killed instantly!
Evil Emperor was in slight disbelief.
Because even One Emperor had to use a few moves to negate the damage in his attack!
Happy's defense had clearly exceeded his expectations.
But Evil Emperor did not know that Happy did not have any intention of fighting against him head on as long as One Emperor was not around yet.
When he noticed the fatal pressure and palm-generated wind charging at him from above his head, Happy activated Indestructible Body and his true origin aura without hesitation. His thick true origin instantly gushed out of his limbs and body to form a sturdy defense. He continued chasing after Class One Hall's people.
Happy did not make the wrong choice.
He had managed to last through three strikes from Evil King when he attacked him with his full power, and there was no doubt that he could do the same when Evil Emperor had not even mastered Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art just yet. He still could not compare to Evil Kill, who was at the peak of Myth Realm.
His attack had whittled down less than one-third of Happy's true origin aura.
While Happy restored his qi, he quickly attacked in the crowd. His Wave-like Subtle Steps allowed him to be truly elusive at that moment.
The people from Class One Hall could not avoid or fend against him. Happy managed to kill several people as if he was cutting down vegetables.
But this move made Evil Emperor livid.
His inability to kill Happy with one strike had already exceeded his expectations, and now, Happy actually dared to kill Class One Hall's members fearlessly while Evil Emperor had started targeting him. He had not even perceived Evil Emperor as a threat, and he actually used the mental pressure from Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art to allow himself to kill every more freely. There was no way Evil Emperor could accept this.
"You're asking for death!"
His gaze turned cold. Evil Emperor finally stopped moving and struck a few times through the air.
Even though Evil Emperor was very surprised, he still maintained his air of superiority. He did not intend to come down, and he seemed to not plan to attack Happy at full strength either.
It was as if he was showing off his strength to the world, as if he was telling the world that what happened just now was just a small mistake.
Happy said nothing about that.
His spiritual senses immediately sensed Evil Emperor's next move, and he also sensed that the power in Evil Emperor's attack had instantly increased by several fold. Happy's heart tensed, but he still did not change his strategy. He moved and moved through the crowd without stopping to charge into the area with the most Class One Hall members.
Evil Emperor was shocked. When he saw Happy's actions, his expression finally changed.
The Class One Hall members had their expre
ssions turn pale, and this was especially so for the people who were the closest to Happy. They could only watch as a mental attack that was several times stronger than before descend from the sky in the form of a tornado.
Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It crashed into the area violently with Happy at its center. More than twenty top-class elites in the area were instantly swept into the violent tornado, and they were dragged into a destructive impact.
Wu Kuo and the others finally snapped out of the shock brought by Evil Emperor's arrival at Wind Assault Tower's headquarters. When they saw that Happy remained safe even after he was attacked by Evil Emperor, the shock and delight in their hearts could not be described in words. This was especially so when they saw that Happy had, in a stroke of wisdom, charged into Class One Hall's group. He had generously decided to make Class One Hall's elites "share" Evil Emperor's attack with him, and they finally understood what Phantasmal Shadow meant before she left the headquarters.
With Happy guarding them, even if Evil Emperor personally arrived, it's impossible for him to destroy Wind Assault Tower's headquarters within a short period of time.
"Everyone, pay attention!" Wu Kuo whispered an order, and he attracted the Tang Sect disciples and his other friends' attention.
Whoosh!
Their gazes focused.
Wu Kuo decisively made a cutting motion.
The group swiftly noticed that when Evil Emperor attacked Happy, the pressure on them seemed to have been reduced by a large degree.
"We mustn't wait!"
"Attack together!"
"Kill them!"
Tang Sect's hidden weapons and the archers' arrows were mixed with Wind Chimes' sound blades. In an instant, all those attacks rained down on those from Class One Hall.
Class One Hall instantly screamed, and dozens of aces died on the spot. A large number of elites also died.
He frowned. Evil Emperor knew that this was because he had spontaneously shifted too much of Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art's power on Happy, which was why the effect on the people around him had been reduced. This reduction of effect would be clearer the further away the people were away from his area of effect, but the reduction of effect was not clear where he stood.
