Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If we continue fighting like this, even if we fight for three days and three nights, we won’t be able to decide the victor.” While Evil Emperor’ spoke, he withdrew from the fight and retreated dozens of feet away. The killing intent in him was no longer around, and in its place were eyes that were as calm as water. He stared at the man across him, Happy’s fighting spirit was still high. “Let’s stop.”
“We can stop, but that is if you immediately leave the Chinese server.” Happy snorted coldly, but he did not immediately chase after Evil Emperor.
Evil Emperor was right.
There was no longer any meaning behind them continuing to fight like this.
One of them had Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and his mental strength could affect his opponents as well as increase his own strength. Dao Heart had a thirty percent damage reduction effect, and he was practically an invincible existence among players at the same level as he was.
The other had Tendon Changing Classic. After Happy mastered it, he became a monster. Right now, he had gained some accomplishments for Marrow Cleansing Classic. The change of his innate attributes to his attack and defense allowed Happy’s strength to increase by another level. His defense and attack increased by a large margin, and his recovery ability also increased. Even if he did not activate true origin aura, he could fight for a long time against Evil Emperor. His Full Winds in Long Skies could also threaten Evil Emperor, causing him to be cautious and be unable to use his full strength.
Both had fought for more than half an hour, and both had used quite a lot of recovery medicinal pills. If they continued fighting, unless one of them was the first to collapse because he could no longer last or commit a fatal beginner level mistake to reveal an opening, it was indeed impossible for them to decide the victor between them.
When he heard Happy’s words, Evil Emperor smiled arrogantly. “If you hadn’t laid in bed for one and a half years, you might have the right to tell me to leave the Chinese server now, but…”
Happy did not answer him when he said those words, but the players watching the fight by the side started making a ruckus because they could not accept what he said. Many people started shouting in the streets.
“Enough with the crap!”
“We have someone who can stand against you in the Chinese server now, and you want to stay here?! Hurry up and leave! Or else, by tomorrow, we’ll chase all of you out, including that woman from Class One Hall!”
“That’s right!”
“Boss Happy, chase Evil Emperor out!”
The commotion caused the entire area to be incredibly noisy.
These players had been watching the fight for more than half an hour, and they had completely acknowledged the fact that Happy did indeed have the strength to fight against Evil Emperor.
Happy had already surpassed One Emperor and become the strongest there.
Right now, when Evil Emperor said those words, it was the same as him admitting that Happy was the strongest in the Chinese server, but his words caused them to be incredibly displeased. What did he mean that Happy only had the right to say those words if he had not laid in bed for one and a half years?!
Since Happy already had the strength to stand as equals with Evil Emperor, if Evil Emperor left, Class One Hall would not have Evil Emperor protecting them, and it was impossible for them to suppress and dominate over the Chinese world of martial artists.
When he faced the questions and enraged shouts from the Chinese players around him, Evil Emperor did not even bother blinking. He remained incredibly elegant while he stared into Happy’s eyes in a relaxed manner. “You might not be able to accept what I said, am I right?”
When he saw that Evil Emperor suddenly did not seem to care about the passing of time anymore, Happy became the one frowning this time. He felt a little uneasy, but he said nothing.
Evil Emperor’s smile did not fade away. He continued saying, “When I first came to the Chinese server, you weren’t around. I hope that I’m not touching on a sensitive area.”
Happy had no expression on his face.
After all, his plan was just to hold Evil Emperor back. Since he did not intend to attack and wanted to just stay here to speak, he did not mind listening to him.
Evil Emperor continued speaking, “At that time, when I came to the Chinese server, I did indeed want to conquer, but I have to admit, I didn’t make sufficient preparations. There were plenty of sects in the Chinese server, and the relationship between the factions of power was complicated. It wasn’t enough if I wanted to use only Wild Wolves’ influence and strength alone to control the entire Chinese server, which was why I didn’t ask Dream Clouds to reveal herself.”
At that point, the voices around them had gradually softened. Everyone had become attentive and listened to Evil Emperor’s monologue.
Happy said nothing, but he was slightly surprised when he heard this.
He did not expect that Evil Emperor would have already contacted Dream Clouds at that point.
This was because he had been busy training and taking revenge on Class One Hall, which was why he did not have a thorough understanding of Wild Wolves and Class One Hall’s sudden cooperation. Now, when he heard Evil Emperor admitting on his own that he had been working with Dream Clouds for a long time, for some unknown reason, the unease in his heart swiftly grew at an unimaginable speed.
His thoughts started flying.
“Happy, you might only now that Wild Wolves has controlled more than eighty percent of the world’s resources, that some of that is worthless, and that the Chinese server is the only place we have not taken, but you definitely do not know that for the sake of being able to step into the Chinese server and completely control it, I have practically spent all my time preparing for this moment over the past one and a half years.”
When he said his last phrase, an incredibly arrogant and powerful presence belonging to the superior bloomed on Evil Emperor. “To be able to obtain all of World of Martial Arts, I have now taken the final step!”
Once he said this, his gaze suddenly had his gaze turn to Happy, and he mocked him by saying, “Do you think that I will go back because of how you unexpectedly popped up? Would I actually lose this game because of one top-class player?”
When he heard Evil Emperor’s confident words, Happy suddenly understood where that unease came from.
‘Wild Wolves had always…’
Happy’s attention had always placed his full attention on Class One Hall and Dream Clouds, and since Wild Wolves were skilled in using local sects in controlling their region to completely achieve their goal, he had always ignored the great strength Wild Wolves possessed.
This was a large, compact mercenary group that had controlled practically all the resources in the world within just a few short years. Its strength was not to be ignored!
But this time, when Evil Emperor arrived in the Chinese server, practically everyone’s gazes were trained on Evil Emperor and Class One Hall.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Wild Wolves’ strength and their overall abilities.
It had to be known that Wild Wolves was a huge organization that had managed to dissolve multiple organizations that were not any weaker than Wind Assault Tower in the world within just a few years, and they had even managed to control them.
Would Evil Emperor truly have come to the Chinese server alone?
Class One Hall had been willing to take the risk of being condemned by the Chinese server to unify it under its name. Could it be truly because Evil Emperor had arrived? Did they really just want to do it to give Evil Emperor a gift?
When he thought of this, Happy suddenly had a great sense of unease rise in his heart. He watched Evil Emperor as he was in high spirits and continued to speak freely. His expression grew even more solemn. “How many of you from Wild Wolves came?”
“You finally thought of it.” After he said this, Evil Emperor laughed madly. “I won’t tell you precisely how many have come, but I can reveal a piece of information to you. Dream Clouds’ Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and twelve Beijing sects will only be securing and controlling the north. As for my people, we will have no problem in helping her stabilize the situation in the Chinese server for her.”
Happy’s face turned pale in his silence.
The meaning behind her words was already very clear.
Wild Wolves might have already had a large group of elites enter various spots of the Chinese server when Evil Emperor arrived in the Chinese server, and they helped Class One Hall stabilize the strength in each of their branches. When it came to the strength of individual branches, Class One Hall was still the strongest. If they worked together with Blood Alliance’s branches and the branches of the twelve Beijing sects, as long as they had top-class players serving as their garrisons, they could easily control the cities in various areas in the Chinese server and even suppress everything.
When he thought of this, Happy no longer cared about listening to Evil Emperor’s words. Without turning his head around, he sent a private message to Wu Kuo, who was still in Class One Hall’s headquarters. Wu Kuo had approached the main door of the headquarters when Evil Emperor stopped to talk. Happy did not miss this.
“Brother Wu, how’s the situation at Tower Master Shadow’s side? Have the reinforcements arrived?”
Evil Emperor had spent a long time making a plan to control the Chinese server. This statement was definitely not empty words, because the Class One Hall branches in various spots in the Chinese server were already very difficult to conquer to begin with.
Now, he could hope that Phantasmal Shadow could unite with the four Beijing sects and the people from other places to tear open a gap in Beijing.
Dozens of seconds after he sent that private message over, he finally heard Wu Kuo’s exasperated and indignant reply, “Brother Happy, this bastard is correct. Dream Clouds has given up on protecting the headquarters of the twelve Beijing sects and Class One Hall’s headquarters. It’s clear that they don’t want to give us the chance to whittle down their strength, and right now, they’re prepared to surround and destroy the headquarters of the last four Beijing sects!”
Happy frowned in silence.
Wu Kuo’s airy voice continued traveling into his ears. “The four Beijing sects have suffered nearly ten thousand casualties. We might have asked most of them to stay in the city, but the players who have rushed over from the other cities near Beijing have been ambushed by the twelve Beijing sects. They suffered major casualties, and they can’t enter Beijing!”
Happy’s expression turned even darker. “If they’re just ambushing them while they’re almost to Beijing, we still have a chance. We can ask One Emperor to lead a team out of the city—”
“It’s useless.” Wu Kuo smiled bitterly and sent him a private message. “The Blood Alliance members and the people from Assassin Hall from the cities have all taken action and are causing trouble in the cities. They’re using various methods to force the people who are already midway to Beijing to return to their branches. Even if One Emperor goes out, there are only a few people who can enter Beijing.”
When he heard Wu Kuo’s final description of events, Happy finally understood just how great of a game Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor had decided to play.
A large group of Wild Wolves had come over to protect the Class One Hall branches and make sure that Class One Hall maintain operations.
Evil Emperor was in charge of guarding Beijing!
Once Class One Hall destroyed Wind Assault Tower, Dream Clouds quickly decided to destroy all the resistance from the local sects in Beijing.
Then, she used the twelve Beijing sects to encircle and attack the people who came over to help.
Blood Alliance, Assassin Hall, and the other affiliated sects were in charge of causing trouble to the other cities, forcing the major sects to be busy desperately defending their territory. They were now even unable to fend for themselves.
“Good move!” Happy sucked in a deep breath before he laughed bitterly.
Evil Emperor smiled faintly. “Do you know why I am not worried at all now?”
Happy said nothing.
It was no wonder why Evil Emperor had not cared about Class One Hall’s people dying when he was at Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters and just had his mental pressure affect all of them.
It was no wonder why Dream Clouds even abandon her headquarters and not defend it!
Evil Emperor had not hurried over here to destroy him because he was worried that Dream Clouds would not be able to last. He had just come over purely because he wanted to kill Happy to establish his might and protect his status and reputation as the strongest in the world.
When he thought of this, Happy’s mood suddenly became incredibly grave.
The streets around him became silent.
At that moment, many people knew that Dream Clouds had already won this war.
With millions of great players and hundreds of top-class elites, she could absolutely control Beijing and even the entire north.
In that sort of situation, Phantasmal Shadow had been attacked so swiftly by Dream Clouds that she could not fight back at all.
How were they supposed to fight back?
