When he heard this, Happy smiled faintly.
"By the looks of it, this palm technique is still a threat to you."
"Hmph." Evil Emperor snorted coldly.
If it were not for that strange palm technique, Happy would have died a long time in his hands, and right now, the Chinese plains would have received news that Happy was instantly killed by him.
"I will not let the same thing happen twice. This time, I won't let you escape by sheer luck!"
As he spoke, the weather changed.
The world was once again filled with great hostility.
Happy narrowed his eyes a little, and he was prepared to fight.
"True. I won't let the same thing happen to me twice either."
Indeed, even though they had just exchanged blows, from the moment Evil Emperor attacked, he had already obtained a lot of information from Evil Emperor.
Demon Body should be something that had the same effect as Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, though it did so through a different method. It could produce an amazing effect that would negate external forces and weaken the damage from the world around him.
The black Demon Hand had the power to destroy defenses. In fact, his true origin aura could not even block it. However, every time Evil Emperor used it, he would need to use a lot of qi, and his attack speed was slightly slower than a normal attack.
This information gave Happy enough confidence.
"Die!"
Both of them clashed fists once more.
And both of them passed by each other again.
Clang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Happy did not use Full WInds in Long Skies. He just used Hourly Sword Technique together with the Supreme Technique of the World, and he was able to easily dissolve all of Evil Emperor's attacks.
At that moment, the power of the Supreme Technique of the World was instantly displayed.
The power in each palm strike did not lose to a slash from Heaven Crystal, but since he could deliver more than ten gusts in one go, the power was not to be underestimated.
Caught off guard, Evil Emperor shuddered. He was sent back dozens of feet before he stopped.
This time, Happy did not give Evil Emperor the chance to get closer. He remained completely uninjured.
"Awesome!"
"Sect Master, you're amazing!"
"Sect Master, kill Evil Emperor!"
The Chinese plains stared at the battle in the air anxiously. When they saw that Happy had gradually turned the tides from a disadvantageous position, they became incredibly excited.
Happy ignored all of the cheers around him.
The defense in Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art's Demon Body was astonishing. Even after he delivered dozens of palm strikes, he was never able to destroy his body fortification, making it clear that Evil Emperor's defense was currently above his.
If he used Hourly Sword Technique, he might not be able to do anything to Evil Emperor even after half a day had passed. Besides, Evil Emperor's own attack speed was enough to block all sword qis.
However, the Supreme Technique of the World's speed was one that had never been seen before. Even if Evil Emperor had perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, he could not quite handle it. If he were careless, he would get hit a few times.
"Do you still have something amazing hidden up your sleeves?" As Happy watched Evil Emperor's expression turn sour, he smiled and said, "We've exchanged more than one hundred blows. If you still refuse to show your moves, your subordinates are going to be disappointed."
In this sort of situation, Happy would naturally not forget to deliver a blow to Evil Emperor's ego.
Evil Emperor's expression turned even sour.
At that moment, he could tell that Happy had the strength of someone in the dao of heaven.
Even though he used his advantage in his movement speed to continuously shorten the distance between them and execute his attacks, Happy's attacks were not weak either. With Dragon's Roar, Wild Fights in All Directions, and Petite Dragon, Happy did not give him the chance to get closer in the slightest.
As time passed, Evil Emperor's face started burning.
Before the fight, he had even said with certainty to his subordinates that he would kill Happy within a short time as a show of force so that they could take down the Chinese plains swiftly.
But by the looks of it now, things did not progress smoothly.
The Wild Wolves who were dressed in great armor craned their necks to watch from the walls of Shiva Town.
When they saw that Evil Emperor and Happy were still repeatedly fighting against each other, Flame Wolf and the others had their expressions turn more solemn and dark.
Flame Wolf's tone was grave. "I just knew that it won't be so easy to deal with Happy.
"The leader said that if he still can't deal with Happy after one hundred moves, we can act according to the second plan. The time has come!"
"Yeah."
Peach Blossom, Immortal and the others nodded.
If Evil Emperor could not take down Happy even after a long time had passed, not only would he be humiliated, more variabilities would also show up. If they still did not take action, once the tens of thousands of people from the Chinese plains pressed in, the pressure they faced would just grow greater.
"Activate the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique! I will personally lead the nine formations!
"Peach Blossom, Immortal, each of you will take a squad and charge over from the flanks." Flame Wolf stopped talking for a while before he looked at the man who stood beside him. This was a big man, and he had a terrifying weapon in his hands.
"I'll leave the charge to the center to you!"
"Just let me handle it."
That person exercised his shoulders with a muffled voice. As if the heavy weapon that weapon that weighed for more than fifty kilograms weighed nothing, he lifted it and placed it on his shoulders. His eyes shone with intense fighting spirit.
"I've heard a long time ago that Lovely Land has all sorts of talented people hidden in it. This time, four incredibly powerful people also popped up. I'd like to witness their strength."
"There are two people that you aren't to touch among the four." Flame Wolf's eyes shone with a cunning light, and suddenly, he spoke up to give the man a reminder.
The people around them were stunned.
"Who are they?"
"One of them is Orochimaru. He has a gloomy look about him, and he's skilled with dual wielding swords. The other one is Green Lit Wooden Fish, he uses palm techniques," Flame Wolf explained softly, "These two are moles Class One Hall planted in Lovely Land."
"Heh, that woman really loves causing trouble."
The man, who looked like a human machine, smiled coldly. "I've heard of these two people before. Orochimaru is vicious, and Green Lit Wooden Fish has extraordinary strength. Wind Void is a failure, and Whirlwind Young Li is a noob and also lost to Green Lit Wooden Fish. Lovely Land is in trouble this time. Once those two decide to betray them, Lovely Land's tournament would have just turned into something that gave Class One Hall two powerful elites. Heh."
"Yeah." Flame Wolf nodded with all sorts of emotions in him. "With those two working with us from within, we can throw Lovely Land's reinforcements into chaos. We're definitely going to win this battle!"
When he said this, he stopped talking for a while before he mentioned, "The flames of battle might have already stirred up in the Chinese plains right now!"
He composed himself, and Flame Wolf gave his orders firmly.
"Attack!"
Once he finished speaking, the group jumped down from the town walls at the same time, and they landed among the black mass of people outside the wall.
At the same time, two messenger pigeons descended from the sky into Orochimaru and Green Lit Wooden Fish's hands as they stood among the Lovely Land members.
Aside from Whirlwind Young Li and Wind Void, no one else noticed these two
people discreetly take the letters.
Chapter 1256 - Tolerance
"They're coming!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
The people from Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance might have been paying attention to Evil Emperor and Happy's fight, but quite a number of people were constantly paying attention to the movements of the people from Shiva Town. When this group noticed that the people from Shiva Town had taken action, saw that the people at the sides had begun to show signs of circling the area, and their main camp had pushed forward, many people immediately sent warnings, and the people from the two major sects quickly mobilized their forces.
"Set up your formation!"
"Put up the crane's wing formation!"
"Alliance Master Lin, the sect master has orders. Before we receive the orders to attack the forces outside Shiva Town, we are to retain a defensive formation and execute counterattacks."
"Got it."
After Lin Xiao received Howling Moon's message, he nodded, and he quickly sent this message to everyone from Chivalry Alliance.
"Set up a defense and counterattack! Hurry!"
The large formation set up by tens of thousands of people swiftly shrank.
The people from Chivalry Alliance and Lovely Land quickly brought their shields, arrows, and weapons, and those who saw them imitated their actions.
They set up their defense lines, and they were squeezed tightly with each other.
Rustle!
They drew their bows and pointed at their rapidly approaching enemies.
"Fire your arrows at different targets. Each of you, lock down on your target!
"After two rounds, switch your weapons and face them!"
Such shouts rose one after another in the air of the army.
A usual arrow formation would usually have their archers fire three rounds of arrows at random targets, but when they faced the Wild Wolves, who were really fierce and strong, things would be very dangerous for them after they fired two rounds of arrows. They must be prepared to fight in close-quarters combat by then.
"Fire!"
As such orderly shouts rose, the sound of bowstrings snapping outside Shiva Town rose, causing the air to tremble.
Then, a black cloud of arrows shot to the area ahead of them.
If they used bow techniques in Moksha Realm or Inaction Realm and fired continuously, the enemies ahead of them would have no space to avoid their arrows. They could only use their arrows and shields to block the attacks.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
One or two arrows would not pose as a threat to them. They could also block seven to eight arrows quickly.
But when dozens or hundreds of arrows came at them while covering every inch of space in front of them, no matter how strong they were, they would feel fear, as if they were facing the apocalypse. After all, the arrows looked like a swarm of locusts charging at them, and they had nowhere to run.
Quite a number of people were halfway through executing their attacks when their bodies were attacked by countless arrows. Their body fortifications and armor were pierced through, and their bodies were also shot through.
The sounds of their bodies being pierced through were mixed together with pained screams.
But there were also outstanding people hidden among the crowd.
One, two, ten, one hundred.
More people used the corpses to block the two rounds of intense arrow showers. They jumped up like phantoms and charged to the areas near the defense lines formed by the Chinese players.
Behind those corpses were calm eyes, and they shone with a cold and brutal light.
They tossed dozens of black things with a fling of their arms.
They did not throw them into the crowd. Instead, they tossed them above the defense lines.
Before the Chinese players could see what hidden weapons they were, they saw those black things crashing on the ground, and thick fog swiftly came out of them.
"No good!"
"Smoke bombs!"
"Quick! Blow away the smoke! We can't have those Wild Wolves getting closer!"
But there were hundreds of smoke bombs that had been thrown into the crowd at the same time, and they were divided evenly in front of the defense line. Their timing was also perfect, so they exploded at the same time.
In just the blink of an eye, most of the entire defense line was covered by smoke.
Countless Chinese players attacked at the same time. Gusts from palms and sword qis were mixed together to charge into the smoke, but it felt as if their attacks had simply sunk into an ocean.
The smoke came charging forward, and it was not blown away. Instead, it spread out swiftly.
"No!"
Due to that momentary oversight and misjudgment, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
Black figures with cold, murderous presences shot into the formation through the black smoke, and in an instant, more furious cries rose.
After the first exchange, Persia lost at least thousands of people.
But the Wild Wolves had used the thousands of Persian corpses to successfully get into the formation, and they quickly tore various gaps into the defense line.
As more elite Wild Wolves and Persian players charged into their formation, the defense line descended into a chaotic battle.
The only place that did not show any signs of chaos was the center.
This place was defended by the Lovely Land supreme-class elites. Orochimaru, Wind Void, Green Lit Wooden Fish, and Whirlwind Young Li each led fifty supreme-class elites who had been part of the vanguard squad to gather in the area.
Even though more than ten stupid Wild Wolves had tried to cause a disturbance in the area, when the smoke was halfway to them, it was blocked outside by an invisible strength.
When the Wild Wolves rushed in, they were immediately torn apart by the sword qi from dozens of supreme-class elites.
"The pressure faced by the flanks is very great, and the number of casualties they face is high. Should I bring someone over?"
Green Lit Wooden Fish's eyes shone, and he suggested in a solemn manner.
As he spoke, his gaze moved past Whirlwind Young Li and Wind Void before it finally landed on Orochimaru.
Before Happy left, he had ordered that Orochimaru and Wind Void were in charge of this place. But even now, neither of them had made any signs of taking any action.
Wind Void just frowned a little and tightened her grip around her divine weapon. She looked like she wanted to immediately charge forward, but was hesitating.
Before Happy left, he might have ordered her to be in charge of everything here, but the on making the commands was not her. Instead, it was someone else.
It was Howling Moon, a supreme-class elite who was rather outstanding during the tournament, and had been the first to be eliminated.
Even though he had been very outstanding during the tournament, his splendor had been overshadowed by Silver Wolf and his party, Whirlwind Young Li, Green Lit Wooden Fish, Wind Void, and Orochimaru.
Wind Void was once the sect master of Chivalry Sect, and she was currently an elder in Lovely Land. In terms of her rank, she was higher than Howling Moon, and she felt a little displeased that she had to listen to the commands of someone who was ranked lower than her.
But before Happy left, he said something that still served as a warning to her, and it allowed her to be able to suppress the burning fighting spirit in her.
"With your persistence and talent, it wouldn't be hard for you to reach One Emperor's standards, but if you can't control your composure, can't see through the nature of things, and are controlled by emotions, your strength will be below Orochimaru, and you will never be Dream Clouds' opponent."
During the past few years, Wind Void had been constantly reflecting on her actions, and she knew that Happy's appraisal was very accurate. Hence, even though she wanted to immediately charge forward when she saw the elites Wild Wolves charging into their formation, on
ce she remembered Happy's appraisal toward her and remembered how Orochimaru had toyed around with her in the tournament, she could not help but squash her urge and waited for Howling Moon's orders.
As for Orochimaru, he only gave two words in the face of Green Lit Wooden Fish's suggestion.
"Calm down."
Indeed, they needed to calm down.
No matter what they did, they should see through the nature of things.
If they could just get rid of the two thousand elite Wild Wolves in this battle, they could be considered to have won!
By the looks of it, it seemed like Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance were in trouble, but in truth, there were supreme-class elites in each area. So, even though the defense line was in chaos, it would not break down.
Although the Wild Wolves were cunning and fierce, they would not be able to cause too much damage to them within a short period of time.
The rear of the Chinese army had not been thrown into chaos!
He looked at the gradually disappearing black smoke, and Orochimaru saw more Persian elites arriving near the defense line behind the Wild Wolves.
The Persian elites were gathered in a black mass beyond the defense line.
These people were generally weaker than the Chinese players, and they were no cause for any sort of fear.
At that moment, Orochimaru could already guess why Howling Moon had not given his orders even now and did not have their people attack. He must be waiting for the people behind the Wild Wolves to completely come forward.
Because if he were in his place, if he knew that Wind Chimes was guarding them, he would definitely create an illusion of weakness and have the enemies think that they had a chance to take. Thus, they would send more people to apply pressure outside the formation.
If he did that, they would be able to take down even more people when they launched their counterattack!
In the chaotic battle, even the Wild Wolves would have a hard time to immediately notice it.
Besides, who among the army would be able to threaten Wind Chimes during the chaotic battle?
Even if the enemies saw that the situation was bad and retreated, it would still be very difficult for them to succeed.
