Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 1043
Chapter 1043: White-haired Evil Emperor
Happy’s strength was known to all.
He was an elite who once delivered a severe shock to Class One Hall and Blood Alliance’s top-class elites. He did not even regard Wild Wolves with any importance.
Three of Class One Hall’s branches were destroyed in Happy’s hands, and even Five Venoms’ destruction was due to Happy’s actions.
But all that was not enough to say much about his strength.
Whenever Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, Happy would always seize their weak point. When he was in Gusu City, Wild Wolves was also swiftly ambushed by Happy. As for Five Venoms, because of Wind Chimes’ appearance, Happy had a lot of his pressure reduced.
All his feats were regarded as the legendary story of his rise to power in the eyes of normal players, but to top-class elites, Happy had not reached the point where he could not be defeated. At the very least, he had not reached the point where he had surpassed their level and reached One Emperor and Evil Emperor’s level.
Wave-like Subtle Steps was indeed extraordinary, and his equipment as well as weapon were also at the top among top-class players. Other players had also fully investigated the few moves in Ten True Dragon Styles, and they knew that Happy could use them to easily adapt himself to a highly dangerous situation and create a breakthrough point for himself.
Hence, the group resolutely decided to use a dozen people to hold Happy back and hold back this variable that suddenly appeared in Wind Assault Tower so that they could create a chance for other people to break into the depths of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. As of current, what was the most important thing for them was still Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.
However, what happened next caught all of them by surprise.
The normal swing suddenly released a power that was several times its normal power, and the people who surrounded Happy could only negate most of the damage in the first wave. Then, they had their chest plates sink by an invisible force that came charging at them with the first attack. All of them coughed up blood and were sent flying.
The lineup at Class One Hall’s side was sent into disarray because of Happy’s charge.
Those dozen people were sent flying away like cannonballs. They were critically wounded, and the inertia caused the people behind them to be thrown into chaos.
When they noticed what was going on, Happy had already activated Wave-like Subtle Steps to catch up to a few of them.
Full Winds in Long Skies was one of the ultimate techniques from the ancient divine monk from Dafo Temple. He could gather a large amount of qi beforehand and hide it in his attack. Then, before his attack landed on someone, his qi would instantly erupt forth. No one could notice Happy’s change beforehand, and they could also not notice that there was an even more dangerous and fearsome killing move hidden in his attack.
The power that instantly exploded forth could surpass everyone’s expectations!
This sudden element had even surpassed how sudden Happy had been able to instantly kill Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun’s death had at least not caused the situation to be thrown into utter disarray. Many people might be puzzled, but they could still accept it.
However, these dozen top-class elites had surrounded Happy to engage in head-on combat. They had absolute advantage, but they were all defeated with just one move, and the shock this attack brought to many people was unimaginable!
“Kill him!”
The people around them could not react in time.
When they noticed that Happy had chased after a few of the severely injured Class One Hall elites like a maggot, the demonic sounds in the air also suddenly changed direction. They turned from attacking countless Wind Assault Tower elites to follow behind Happy with an aggressive momentum before they crashed into the crowd.
Before the dozen mortally wounded top-class elites could flee to safety, they were already cut down by the countless ound blades that came howling at them.
It might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but everything was over in a flash.
Happy’s act of defeating the group of people and using the chance to chase after five top-class elites to kill them happened in a flash.
Wind Chimes noticed the change at his side, and her zither sounds took a turn. Thousands of sound blades advanced unopposed and killed the remaining heavily injured elites.
This move allowed Wu Kuo’s side to swiftly have their pressure reduced. As for Class One Hall, after Happy and Wind Chimes instantly killed a dozen Class One Hall top-class elites, not only had a momentary reduction in numbers appeared in Class One Hall’s elite and greatest force, Happy had also successfully entered further into Class One Hall’s zone, causing the pressure on Class One Hall to instantly increase.
This was something they could sense when they heard the frequent cries of surprise and enraged shouts from Class One Hall’s side.
*****
Dream Clouds and her group had their expressions change drastically when they saw the change in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters on the roof across the street.
“How could this be?! What martial art is that?!”
To them, severely wounding a dozen aces with the best equipment was basically impossible. Even One Emperor could not instantly cripple several extraordinary elites. These people who rushed into Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were not normal players in the game.
“Have them immediately use Illusion Life and Death Pills and hurry back here!”
This change might have caused Dream Clouds’ expression to turn a little dark, but the situation in Wind Assault Tower had not completely changed just yet. Thousands of Class One Hall members had managed to enter Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, and they were invading the place from the left and right.Even though their advance was slow, the number of casualties Wind Assault Tower suffered was slowly piling up.
They continued sending people into Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters from all the streets surrounding the building.
If they could injure them a little more, the defense line on the other two directions in Wind Assault Tower would be completely torn down sooner or later, and at that time…
“Hmph!”
Dream Clouds snorted coldly, and she still continued standing firmly at her spot while she said in a chilling tone, “Today, even if we have to use up all our Illusion Life and Death Pills, I want you to utterly crush Wind Assault Tower.”
“Understood!”
The people beside her were excited and became a little sterner.
They answered her vigorously and quickly sent out messenger pigeons.
*****
The cooldown time for Full Winds in Long Skies was half a minute, and Happy would need to use a lot of qi each time. Hence, even Happy found himself a little helpless when he instantly released such an astonishing attack and temporarily helped Wind Assault Tower gain a chance to catch their breath in the face of Class One Hall’s continuous and strong offense once they calmed down.
For the first time ever, Happy deeply sensed the limits of a person’s strength when he noticed that the elites from Class One Hall were beginning to invade the depths of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters from the left and right.
Even if his defense was great and he had Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, it was useless. At the end of the day, he could only control a small region alone, and he could only affect a small area alone.
When he faced the elite group from Class One Hall, Happy felt that things were incredibly difficult for the first time since he returned to the game in this world.
“Damn it, where the heck did Phantasmal Shadow go?”
When he saw that Wind Assault Tower was in a perilous situation, Happy could not help but feel frustrated. Even though he knew a long time ago that Wind Assault Tower would face an incredibly difficult battle, he was still surprised and displeased by the fact that Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor had not shown up yet.
This was especially so for Phantasmal Shadow. She was the master of Wind Assault Tower, and she had actually decided to disappear during such an important moment?! That woman was very good. She had a quick mind on her shoulders, and with her taking up command, at the very least, Happy would not be caught in such a strenuous position.
“You just have to fight for a little while longer.”
Wu Kuo knew that they were in the wrong, and he sent a private message to Happy from the back.
Happy answered brusquely, “I have no problem in lasting through the battle, even if twice their number come over, I can live through it! I’m worried that you’re the ones who can’t last!”
Wu Kuo’s face was filled with anguish.
That was indeed the truth.
Even though Happy could move about at ease among the enemies once he charged alone into the encirclement formed by multiple Class One Hall elites by relying on his extraordinary equipment and agile movements, most of Wind Assault Tower’s hall had fallen even though they had tens of thousands people defending it. They still managed to protect a small portion of their territory because Happy had seized it back.
However, the pressure on the two outer sides and inner sides of the hall had begun to increase as Class One Hall continued sending their forces inside. The deaths of the Wind Assault Tower members gradually showed their effect, and if they did not change their current situation in time to chase all their enemies out, Wind Assault Tower would not be able to last much longer.
“Send a letter to the tower master, hurry!”
Wu Kuo was finally unable to hold back, he turned his head and urged a tower member to take action.
Very soon, a messenger pigeon flew into the sky.
*****
Half a minute passed by in the blink of an eye. Happy obtained the chance to use Full Winds in Long Skies again, but Happy did not use it this time.
For some unknown reason, ever since he used Full Winds in Long Skies the second time and forcibly killed a group of Class One Hall elites, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, as if something had fixed its eyes on him, and he felt a great sense of danger from it.
Besides, during the past half a minute, that feeling was constantly on him. It was as if someone was watching him, and that gaze had never moved from him.
Martial artists were incredibly sensitive about gazes locked on their bodies, but when they reached a certain state, they could easily differentiate what were normal people’s gazes or non-threatening gazes and filter them out so that they could sense those that were threatening to them even better.
There was no one in the headquarters right now who could make Happy feel threatened, and Happy believed firmly that Dream Clouds and the people beside her were also unable to make him wary. As of current, only One Emperor and that person in the game could make him be on guard.
Evil Emperor!
If his guess was correct, then the person who was staring at him in the dark was Evil Emperor himself.
If he used Full Winds in Long Skies again at this moment, it would be the same as him telling Evil Emperor this was the trump card Happy intended to use against him. In fact, he might even be able to decipher most of the characteristics in Full Winds in Long Skies.
Right now, even if Happy had to work a little harder and use his fists and sword to slowly bring trouble to Class One Hall and kill them he would not fearlessly use Full Winds in Long Skies to gain temporary success by rapidly reducing Class One Hall’s aces.

“That boy is very smart.”
A man in a wide, black cloak appeared beside Dream Clouds on the roof across the street. He stood tall, and his silver hair cascaded gently down his back. Only a few strands swayed in the wind mischievously, making him look incredibly elegant and free, but at the same time, he was filled with an evil charm and an awe-inspiring presence.
The players around the area, regardless of whether it was Class One Hall, the twelve sects, or the players who came over to watch the fight, had already burst into a ruckus.
Their voices were loud.
The streets around the Wind Assault Tower had already been shocked so greatly by this news, which came at them as suddenly as a bomb exploding in their faces.
Evil Emperor!
It was the white-haired Evil Emperor!
The leader of Wild Wolves, who once had no enemy who could stand up against him in the Chinese server, had finally come to the Chinese server once more!
Wandering Know-it-all’s guess was correct, Phantasmal Shadow’s hostility toward Class One Hall was not unfounded.
Evil Emperor just stood beside Dream Clouds and casually appeared in the battle against Wind Assault Tower. He even received treatment belonging only to honored guests!
If there was still anyone who believed in Dream Clouds’ lies right now and were certain that Wild Wolves was not an ally of Class One Hall, that person must definitely be an idiot.
“Mister Evil Emperor, One Emperor isn’t in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. If you show up right now, you’ll cause changes to our offense at Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.” When she heard the voices around her gradually becoming even fiercer, Dream Clouds’ expression instantly turned incredibly sour.
