Sword Among Us c1-1268

  "What?"

  When they received this news, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, and Wind Void were all stunned. In fact, all the people who heard this order were shocked.

  No matter what, this was Shiva Town, a place in Persia. Yet Howling Moon wanted to use their people to kill hundreds of thousands of Persians and all the elite Wild Wolves? When they only had fewer than twenty-five thousand people left?

  That was not all, he even wanted to push into Shiva Town!

  'He's mad!' Everyone thought that Howling Moon had gone mad.

  But Orochimaru and Whirlwind Young Li had already received Happy's orders, and they could carry out Howling Moon's orders perfectly.

  However, those with questions still asked for answers, such as Wind Chimes, who was protected by Howling Moon's people nearby.

  When she heard Howling Moon's orders, she was puzzled. "Aren't you being a little too careless by asking them to take down Shiva Town in half an hour? We don't have a lot of people left. We can't have all of them die in Persia."

  When Howling Moon heard this, he smiled wanly. "Don't worry, Big Sis Wind Chimes. This isn't my plan. Before we came here, the sect master has already told me that if the battle outside Shiva Town descends into a stalemate, Evil Emperor will definitely think of a way to whittle down the thirty thousand people we have on our side. The Persians can engage in a war of attrition, but we can't. That's why I have to think of a way to break this stalemate."

  "And charging into Shiva Town is Happy's idea?"

  "Yes." Howling Moon nodded. "The sect master said that Heaven Crystal can only bring out its full power for a very short amount of time. That effect only lasts for one hour…"

  "...I know about that." Wind Chimes nodded. Wandering Know-it-all had told her about it before.

  Right now, one of the major reasons behind why Happy had the strength to fight against Evil Emperor was because Heaven Crystal had largely surpassed the supreme-grade divine weapons in the game right now.

  "If you know this, Evil Emperor must know this as well," Howling Moon explained gravely, "Once that half an hour passes, Heaven Crystal will lose its effect, and its power will be decreased by a large degree. At that time, we might not be able to fight against Evil Emperor so easily as we are doing right now."

  When she heard Howling Moon's explanation, Wind Chimes' expression instantly turned stern, and she looked surprised.

  Happy was already fighting at full strength against Evil Emperor, and he was having quite a hard time. After half an hour passed, he would lose part of his power, and he was bound to be suppressed by Evil Emperor.

  Once she thought of this, Wind Chimes' expression immediately became much graver.

  She brought out a drop of Fire Qilin Blood from her Universe Bag. Her eyes sparkled. No one knew what she was thinking about.

  "Wind Chimes?"

  "Yeah?"

  "What are you daydreaming about?" Howling Moon gave her a reminder. "We're here. Hurry up and attack so that we can advance. Later on, we have to spend time to enter the town and destroy Persia."

  Once she heard this, Wind Chimes jumped several feet into the air and saw the situation in front of her.

  She saw the frontlines, which was dozens of feet away from her. There was a fierce fight over there. When she looked at the crowd over there, she found dozens of elite Wild Wolves. They were stubbornly blocking the Chinese players from advancing.

  Further down were more elite Wild Wolves mixed in the crowd.

  Wild Wolves could even see Wild Wolves flying over in a flashy manner from Shiva Town.

  If she were not mistaken, those people were the members of the Forbidden Daiya Technique formations she killed before.

  Shiva Town was right before their eyes. They did not need to take a long time to fly out of the town.

  If they continued rotating members like this, with the Wild Wolves' powerful foundation, they could last for a long time in the battle.

  She could not help but slow down in her momentum as she played her zither.

  "What's wrong?" Howling Moon was multitasking. While he paid attention to the battlefield, he noticed Wind Chimes' abnormality.

  She s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said, "The people who died came back. We can't continue like this."

  "There's nothing we can do about that. We can only plan as we continue moving forward. The Wild Wolves have a strong foundation, and they have a huge number of Illusion Life and Death Pills stored up." When he said this, Howling Moon suddenly mentioned, "But even the Wild Wolves will have a hard time trying to provide Illusion Life and Death Pills to two thousand people. They won't be able to provide for them a lot of times."

  "You make it sound so easy. Those are two thousand supreme-class elites, not two thousand pigs awaiting slaughter. It won't be easy for us to kill them." Someone rolled his eyes and decided to diminish his enthusiasm.

  Howling Moon instantly found himself speechless.

  Indeed, killing just one supreme-class elite would take them a lot of skill and manpower. It would not be easy for them to kill two thousand supreme-class elites.

  It was basically impossible for them to end the battle outside Shiva Town in half an hour.

  Just when Howling Moon showed a resigned expression, Wind Chimes suddenly mentioned something that caused to be stunned. "It's not actually that hard to kill these people."

  Her words were so arrogant that she caused the people around her to wonder about what she said.

  "Do you have a way?" Howling Moon was the one who reacted the fastest.

  No matter what, Wind Chimes was Six-fingered Demonic Zither's disciple, and she had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses. Happy must also have his own purpose for personally bringing Wind Chimes to this battlefield.

  Howling Moon asked eagerly, "Do you have a way to break the Wild Wolves in half an hour?"

  "I can try." Wind Chimes did not immediately give an affirmative answer. Instead, while the people watched her, she brought a group of golden needles.

  "Those are…?" The group was stunned.

  Then, they had their mouths fall open.

  They watched in shock and even held their breaths as Wind Chimes quickly stabbed nine golden needles into a few acupressure points in her head.

  Boom!

  At the moment the nine needles pierced into her, Wind Chimes' long hair danced about, even though there was no wind.

  An intimidating and powerful qi surged out of Wind Chimes' body.

  It was the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique!

  Wind Chimes' potential was instantly stimulated. An unprecedentedly strong qi instantly swept through the entire battlefield.

  Then, agitated zither notes rose from among the vanguards of Lovely Land's army.

  At that moment, even Evil Emperor had his blood surge because of the zither notes, even though he was fighting fiercely in the air. His qi and blood raged in him, and he staggered.

  Whoosh!

  Evil Emperor quickly retreated hundreds of feet backward, and shock appeared in his eyes. He stared at the spot where the zither notes appeared in disbelief.

  Chapter 1263 - The Army Arrives at the Foot of the Town

  The Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique caused Wind Chimes to be able to increase her strength by another level, which was what she wanted.

  The zither notes seemed to have increased by a tone in the battlefield. They also became even more agitated and sharp. Under countless Wild Wolves' shocked gazes, the sound blades that were gathered in the air suddenly changed and turned into white, thin blades that brought with cold chills. They shone with a piercing light in the air, and like a river of cold light, it charged into the crowd in an even more domineering and fierce manner.

  "Oh no!"

  "Careful!"

  The people under the river of light felt danger surrounding them. It was as if there were layers of sabers around them, and they were in danger of being torn apart at any moment. Now, they ha
d to restrain their movements.

  With their momentum diminished, their attention split, and their senses filled with shock and dazedness, quite a number of Persian players were instantly killed by the Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance players.

  But soon, even more people cried out in surprise.

  They noticed that these fierce and aggressive blades were not aimed at the normal players.

  Instead, the sound blade river formed by the light charged over the Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance members' heads to quickly form small streams above a large group of Persian players. They then charged at the elite Wild Wolves in the crowd.

  When the Wild Wolves noticed this and wanted to dodge or block the attacks, it was already too late.

  The sound blades formed after Wind Chimes used the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique were even faster than before. They were like attacks released by a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm. The damage was even stronger than before, and the crowd simply could not dodge it.

  Shick! Shick! Shick! Shick! Shick!

  As the sounds of flesh being cut into rose. Pained screams rose and fell, and dozens of elite Wild Wolves who had just rejoined the battlefield were reduced to a bloody mess by the horrifying sound blades. With disbelieving and shocked expressions, they knocked over their own people while they were drenched in blood. Their weapons flew from their hands, and they looked like a wretched mess.

  The hundreds of sound blades instantly got rid of dozens of elite Wild Wolves in the crowd. At the same time, as Wind Chimes controlled the remaining sound blades, they easily got rid of a large group of Persian players. Those sound blades worked together with the high-spirited Chinese plains, and with each breath, they killed hundreds of people.

  "Ha!"

  "Demonic Zither, you're amazing!"

  "Haha! Kill them!"

  "Kill these bastards!"

  Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance originally had their morale depleted by Evil Emperor, but now, they recovered, and their morale was even stronger than before.

  The Persians were basically players who were immediately cut down when they engaged the Chinese players. They did not even have the chance to parry their attacks and were just effortlessly defeated.

  Wind Chimes' thin blades had locked onto the Wild Wolves, and she accurately chased after them. Those who were targeted were basically unable to escape.

  After all, even the sect master of Zither Sect, who was someone in the dao of heaven and was skilled with defense, praised Wind Chimes' offense when he first saw it. Hence, it was obvious that these players would be completely helpless before Wind Chimes' offense.

  As for Wind Chimes, when she faced the sect master's monstrous pressure, she bled through her eyes and nose, and she had even decided to stake her life on the line. Later on, she gained one hundred qi points, one Willpower point, and five Affinity points. Now, her strength had increased.

  While protected by a group of supreme-class elites, Wind Chimes could focus on facing the Wild Wolves. Hence, she could easily generate dozens or even more of those sound blades.

  Those sound blades possessed the power of someone in the later stage of Myth Realm, and when someone faced a number of those sound blades, they would feel as if they were facing a group of martial artists at the later stage of Myth Realm at the same time. Even if the elite Wild Wolves were really powerful, when they faced a powerful encirclement such as this, they would find it hard to deal with. Besides, the attacks were in the shape of sound waves, making them even harder to deal with.

  Within a short period of time, these powerful players who could usually fight against powerful enemies alone could not even withstand a round of attacks from the rampaging Wind Chimes. They were struck until they were a bloody, tattered mess.

  Once she started going into a rampage, Wind Chimes would be filled with an urge to continuously use up the endlessly growing qi in her body.

  The Demonic Zither jumped into the air and quickly spun around. She moved her legs as if she was cycling. She moved together with her zither, and her fingers plucked the strings in a frenzy. Her robes fluttered, her hair danced, and she looked like a demon.

  Clang! Clang! Clang!

  The zither notes were each louder than the last.

  The sound blades gathered in the air in an endless fashion. They spread fiercely to different directions at lightning speed.

  Wherever the sound blades went, the people would be thrown to the ground!

  When they sensed Demonic Zither Wind Chimes' domineering nature and the unstoppable force from the Chinese players, many people s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths.

  A number of Persian numbers watched the Wild Wolves in front of them falling like harvested wheat, and they were terrified. They hesitated, and there was shock on their faces.

  Even the Wild Wolves had chills crawl down their spines by Wind Chimes' frenzied slaughter, and they became a little hesitant.

  "Good kill!"

  "Hurry up!"

  "We have to rush into Shiva Town in one breath!"

  "That's right!"

  Under the lead of the sound blade river in the air, the Lovely Land members and Chivalry Alliance members had their morale increase by leaps and bounds. Like a flood, they pushed forward effortlessly by hundreds of feet.

  For a short period of time, the cries for murder rose everywhere.

  There were originally tens of thousands of Persians, but now, ten thousand of them were killed. A mighty stream of Chinese players appeared among the enemy lines.

  "Hiss…"

  "This is what the Chinese players are capable of?!"

  "Damn it!"

  "Aren't they a little too ridiculously strong?!"

  In countless Persian players' hearts, the zither player had already reached the same status as Evil Emperor.

  When they saw that the dazzling and fierce zither sounds were about to push into Shiva Town like a huge, demonic hand, many people turned away. The moment they saw its momentum, they lost their will to fight.

  The Wild Wolves felt incredibly gloomy as well.

  Due to the Chinese players blocking them and the zither sounds killing them from the distance, they did not know how Wind Chimes became so aggressive. It was as if she had suddenly eaten a powerful supplement. The people were killed before they could even form the Forbidden Daiya Technique, and their corpses were strewn all over the place.

  Usually, the Wild Wolves were successful in all their attacks.

  This time, the two thousand people they brought with them were killed repeatedly by the thirty thousand people from the Chinese plains, even though they were not that strong. Many of them had already died once, and in the next moment, they died again. In fact, they would be killed before they were able to kill a lot of people at the frontlines.

  The Wild Wolves had never been this pathetic before.

  Many of them became wary, and the number of elite Wild Wolves heading forward started dwindling in number.

  With the reduction of Wild Wolves, only the Persians were left to stop the Chinese players from pushing forward, and they could not stop them.

  Very soon, the Chinese players were able to advance until they were less than three-tenths of a mile from Shiva Town.

  Quite a number of people could even see the delighted and excited expressions of the Persian players on the town walls.

  At that moment, only Howling Moon had a worried look hidden deep in his eyes. He was currently following behind Wind Chimes, and he found that Evil Emperor had not come over for a long time.

  Chapter 1264 - Xu Yao Contributes

  Demonic Zither Wind Chimes had now led the army under the town!

  Wind Chimes led nearly one thousand supreme-class elites and only around ten thousand Chinese players to tear through the Persians' lines, which were made of tens of thousands of people, and they arrived under the town.

  In comparison, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, Wind Void, and armys the other peop
le led did not have such a smooth time.

  Even though Orochimaru and Wind Void had a slight advantage as well, it was difficult for them to destroy all elite Wild Wolves within a short time. They were now hundreds of feet behind Wind Chimes.

  And Whirlwind Young Li was attacked badly by Evil Emperor. He could only be described to be in a really difficult situation.

  If he was not currently in Myth Realm and an ultimate technique (Shifting Stars) that basically allowed him to be resilient as a c.o.c.kroach, he would have died a long time ago, considering how Evil Emperor targeted him.

  Of course, another major reason behind why Whirlwind Young Li was able to last until now was also because Evil Emperor had to pay most of his attention to Happy.

  Both of them had been exchanging thousands of fierce blows in the air, but they still were unable to do anything to each other.

  Evil Emperor had been focused on chasing down Whirlwind Young Li, as if he had not been paying attention to the situation at Wind Chimes' side.

  Then, as he kept on attacking Whirlwind Young Li, the positions of the soldiers at this side changed slightly.

  And hence, the situation changed!

  At that moment, Wind Chimes had already made her way until she was at the rear of the Persian army, and Evil Emperor was in a position where he could appear in between Happy and Wind Chimes in a flash. He laughed.

  "Sect Master Happy, you fell in my trap!" While he laughed, he removed himself from the battle and moved backwards without letting anything stop him. His laughter swiftly tumbled out of his lips and headed to the rear of the Persian army. "When that woman with the Nine Yin Blocked Pulses dies, Lovely Land won't be able to last for long!"

  Evil Emperor never bothered to suppress his laughter. It was like rolling thunder, and it traveled through the entire battlefield clearly, thereby entering everyone's ears.

  All the Chinese players felt their hearts skip a beat. They looked up, and they were just in time to see two figures heading swiftly to Shiva Town, with one chasing after the other.

  "Oh no!"
