"Your palm technique is pretty good, but you aren't my opponent if you rely solely on my palm technique." Evil Emperor spoke with a confident tone. He stopped talking for a moment before he brought his arms up. "Do you know why I have been waiting until this moment?"
Happy stared at Evil Emperor quietly. He appeared to be in high spirits, as if the results of the battle had already been set in stone.
Even if Happy did not play along, Evil Emperor's interest did not decrease in the slightest. He raised his hand and pointed at Shiva Town, which was behind him. He said, "I know that you have been secretly contacting many of the forces of power in the world. Not only do you have close contact with Thailand, Vietnam, Persia, Penglai, America, and Russia, you have also managed to convince a lot of people to fight against the Wild Wolves. The Imperial Army you built is made to fight against me. So, to let these people understand just who is the one who makes the calls in the world and maintain normal order, I must behead you and let the people who have been in contact with you in Shiva Town understand clearly just how I defeated you."
Happy remained calm.
But Evil Emperor used his qi when he said those words, and his voice traveled across the battlefield like a roll of thunder. Quite a number of people s.u.c.k.e.d in deep breaths when they heard Evil Emperor's words.
Howling Moon knew about the weakness in Happy's Heaven Crystal, and he frowned, thinking that the situation was bad.
Evil Emperor's smug announcement continued to ring in the air above the battlefield.
"There aren't plenty of people outside the town who can watch, but here, there are a lot of spectators. They will witness your defeat and Lovely Land's destruction."
"Not a bad speech." Happy smiled coldly. "If your confidence built on the corpses all over the ground or the fact that you lost to me twice? Before I woke up, did anyone ever mention that you have delusional disorder?"
"After fifteen minutes, I hope that you can still stand as calmly as you are doing right now." Evil Emperor smiled coldly as well.
"If that's the case, I will wait for fifteen minutes with you." While Happy spoke, he looked into the distance. "But I don't think that your people can last for fifteen minutes."
Indeed, due to Wind Chimes' charge just now, the Chinese players had long since arrived at the foot of Shiva Town. Many of the Persian players started fleeing into the town pathetically.
He cast a glance at the bad situation outside the town, and Evil Emperor snorted coldly.
"Once I get rid of you, Wind Chimes will definitely die." After he said his final sentence, a powerful killing intent spilled out of him.
Even so, Evil Emperor did not intend to spend time to protect Shiva Town either.
To him, as long as he could kill Happy, he would have won this fight!
No one in the Chinese plains would be able to stop him then.
"Hurry up and get rid of Shiva Town!"
When Howling Moon saw that Evil Emperor and Happy had actually descended into a stalemate and did not move but instead wanted to wait for the seconds to pass by, Howling Moon quickly understood what happened. He gave his commands resolutely.
After he left Evil Emperor, the group quickly recovered part of their strength.
Wind Chimes had lavishly used up one drop of Fire Qilin Blood and got rid of all the side effects brought by the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique. Then, with Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, and Wind Void, she started a second round of killing in a frenzy.
Shiva Town was instantly filled with pained screams. The Wild Wolves did not dare to step out of the town at all, and the Persians retreated even faster.
Even so, the Persians still lost more than ten thousand people within a short period of time.
"Continue!"
There were nearly twenty thousand Chinese players left. Howling Moon cast a glance at Evil Emperor and Happy. When he saw that they did not intend to move, without another word, he ordered all the people to return to the city.
Foreign players could join a war between sects.
When the people in the town saw that the Chinese players had managed to get into the town with just tens of thousands of people and started heading to the branch of the largest Persian sect in authority and who was working with Wild Wolves, they burst into a ruckus.
Shouts with a foreign accent rose and fell.
The people who followed the army to the branch formed lines resembling dragons. They jumped on all sorts of round roofs built on unique buildings. The situation was majestic, and it stirred up their hearts.
Evil Emperor and Happy still remained standing in the air outside Shiva Town.
Gathered on the town walls were the Wild Wolves and Persians.
Compared to the people from the Persian sects, these people looked further ahead. They were more concerned as to who among Evil Emperor and Happy would have the last laugh.
All the Wild Wolves decided to stay, because they knew that with Wind Chimes, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, and Wind Void helping the Chinese army, the branch in Persia would not be able to remain standing. It would be swept to the ground in just a short while.
For a period of time, the atmosphere was tense on the town walls of Shiva Town.
Countless people stared at the two people standing at a stalemate in the air, and they held their breaths as they waited for the seconds to pass.
Chapter 1266 - Promise, Last Fight!
The fight between the two peerless elites outside Shiva Town had changed in an inconceivable manner.
Due to both being unable to do anything to the other, Evil Emperor and Happy stopped attacking at the same time. They ignored the battle outside and inside Shiva Town. Both of them stood in the air without moving and faced each other as they waited.
Countless people outside Shiva Town held their breaths and focused as they waited for the final moment to come.
Meanwhile, war drums thundered in Shiva Town, and it was incredibly lively inside.
The speed of the Chinese players pushing inward was incredibly fast. With Wind Chimes and the other supreme-class elites working together, the people at the perimeter of the branch of Persia's largest sect in power were all killed.
The group did not even want to wait for the ten minutes of the branch being invincible to be over. They just rushed inside!
The defense line formed by thousands of people inside the branch could not even block the Chinese players. They were defeated in one go, and in a short period of time, they were destroyed.
Once ten minutes were over, not a single person remained in the branch!
Only one hundred people remained to control the situation as they prepared to destroy the branch foundation.
"Howling Moon, we've already controlled the situation over here." Whirlwind Young Li found Howling Moon. "The sect master is outside the town. Should we go over and help him?"
Howling Moon shook his head. "We're not equipped to interfere with a fight at that level. No matter how many people go over, it's useless. Send orders and have five thousand members stay where they are to intimidate the other enemies in the town. The others are to wait for orders at the town walls."
He stopped talking for a while, then Howling Moon said earnestly, "Everyone is to go to the town wall to watch the fight. The sect master has sent word to me. If he doesn't succeed in this fight, then he would have at least died for a righteous cause. If he wins, then the power layout in Persia will definitely change!"
"What if he fails?" Whirlwind Young Li could not help but take on Howling Moon's tone. Soon, he noticed that there was something wrong with what he said, and he quickly changed his words. "Of course, with the sect master's strength, he will definitely not…"
Howling Moon cast him a glance. "It's fine. The sect master has said that he doesn't intend to lose this battle."
Whirlwind Young Li was slightly stunned.
Orochimaru and Wind Void had coincidentally come out of the branch. When they arrived nex
t to the two, they were just in time to hear their conversation.
"But now, even with Heaven Crystal, the sect master can't do anything to Evil Emperor. The possibility of him fighting to a tie with Evil Emperor is higher, I think."
Orochimaru voiced his thoughts in a very cautious manner.
Wind Void and Whirlwind Young Li nodded.
Howling Moon shared the same thoughts, but he was not allowed to say such things at this moment.
At that moment, Wind Chimes walked out from behind the crowd and mentioned something different. "Happy is definitely going to win this battle."
"Hm?"
"Oh?"
The four of them turned around at the same time.
"Demonic Zither."
"Wind Chimes, you're here."
They smiled at her.
She was the greatest contributor to the war. They would naturally not underestimate her.
However, what caught their attention even more was the other woman who had appeared beside Wind Chimes. She was also surrounded by supreme-class elites, and she had a huge sword casket on her back.
Wind Chimes walked over with the unfamiliar woman's hand in her hand. She looked incredibly familiar with her, and they seemed to be rather close with each other.
'Who is this?'
They had never heard about Wind Chimes having a close friend, and neither had they heard about Wind Chimes having a senior sister or junior.
At that moment, Howling Moon went over on his own accord. He welcomed her with a smile. "Ms. Xu, you're here too? The piece you played before crushed Evil Emperor's plans! It was truly exciting! I'm impressed!"
"Hall Chief Howling Master, you're too polite."
The person who came over was Xu Yao. When she heard this, she naturally gave a reply to him.
The group was shocked!
Howling Moon's status might be below the elders, but Happy had handed commanding rights to him, which showed that Howling Moon was definitely going to have a bright future ahead of him in Lovely Land. In fact, he was almost certainly going to become a vice sect master, and Orochimaru as well as the others did not dare to underestimate him.
But right now, Howling Moon had taken the initiative to greet this unfamiliar woman, and then, he nodded at Wind Chimes. Most of his attention was on Ms. Xu, which caused them to be quite surprised.
When they heard Howling Moon's words, they were even more shocked. They felt that this Ms. Xu had a high status in the sect.
The three of them sent private messages to Howling Moon to ask him, only to learn that this was the sect master's wife, who was rumored to have taken care of Happy while he laid in bed for one and a half years. She took care of his daily life, and Wind Chimes had not been killed by Evil Emperor because of Xu Yao. They instantly became respectful, and no one dared to give her the cold-shoulder. They nodded as a greeting to her.
Xu Yao found herself feeling a little awkward, and she quickly signalled Wind Chimes to change the topic.
Wind Chimes soon understood her meaning.
"You're all Lovely Land members, why aren't you confident in our sect master?"
"Ms. Wind Chimes, that's not quite right. We've managed to take down Shiva Town, even though it has Evil Emperor and two thousand elite Wild Wolves guarding it. One single Evil Emperor isn't anything." Howling Moon's tone changed, and he took a firm stance on the two women's side.
Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, and Wind Void regarded his actions with disdain in their hearts, but they did not dare show it on their faces. However, they simultaneously swept their gazes outside the town in the direction where the two people were standing in a stalemate.
"Shiva Town has been taken down. Looks like the Wild Wolves aren't really that great. We haven't even been fighting for more than an hour, have we?"
When Happy saw that the ruckus and the sounds of battle in Shiva Town were gradually calming down, he cast Evil Emperor a ridiculing look. "Is this the Persian Empire you have been managing with everything you have for years?"
"Hmph! You can be as arrogant as you want right now. Once your Heaven Crystal loses its sword will, I will give you the chance to watch how your people in Shiva Town will die in front of you." Evil Emperor's tone was cold. With an indifferent look, he stared at Happy's Heaven Crystal. It was getting weaker in his hands. The smile on his lips grew wider. "I hope that you will still be able to smile by then."
While he was still airborne, Happy laughed long and clear. "Hahahaha… Evil Emperor, o Evil Emperor, why waste so much effort in that? In truth, you just need to tell me to put away Heaven Crystal. That's all you need to do. Why waste so much time?"
Happy's words caused Evil Emperor to be stunned.
He frowned a little, and his expression sank a little.
Happy continued, "Are you really going to wait for the final fifteen minutes? Do you really think that you have enough of an advantage to suppress me? At that time, if we don't manage to decide the victor between us, you're going to start saying that this fight is unfair."
Evil Emperor could not understand the meaning in Happy's words. His expression turned dark, and he did not continue with the conversation.
But Happy's next action caused him to suck in a deep breath.
Happy put away Heaven Crystal into his Universe Bag as it continued to weaken.
Evil Emperor looked shocked again.
There were still a few more minutes before Heaven Crystal's sword will completely disappeared.
If Happy did this, it would be the same as him extending Evil Emperor's advantage. This caused Evil Emperor to be surprised as well as puzzled. At the same time, he became uneasy.
"Since you want to die, I will grant you your wish."
With Demonic Heart Seed planted in him, Happy could only fight against him. He could not run.
The aura smoothly covered a circular area that was 656 feet!
When the aura enveloped him, Happy did not show even the slightest hint of uneasiness. He just stared at Evil Emperor as he gathered his momentum and was prepared to attack. He circulated his qi and spoke, "Before we attack, why don't we make a gentleman's promise?" His voice spread through the battlefield and through Shiva Town.
"Hmm?"
Evil Emperor froze a little, and he snorted coldly with a derisive look on his face.
"You're thinking about stalling for time now?"
"To you? I won't need to." Happy generously gave him a derisive look back. "This is Persia. Both our people are here, along with people who are not involved whatsoever. They can be our witnesses. When we fight, whoever loses has the second chance of challenging the other."
Evil Emperor frowned a little. He could not understand what Happy meant.
Happy smiled. He explained calmly. "What I mean is that if you die in my hands later, I will not leave immediately… Don't be in such a hurry to be angry. Listen to what I have to say. After the person who dies is resurrected in the temple, he can come back here and fight again."
When he heard this, Evil Emperor finally understood what Happy wanted to say.
His gaze grew darker, and he cursed Happy for being arrogant.
Happy's voice continued resonating across him. It spread through a circular area of three miles and entered the players' ears clearly.
"Of course, if the loser doesn't dare to fight, it's not a problem too. We will just treat the person who lost as having accepted his defeat. What do you think?"
Happy's voice traveled outward like thunder, and it instantly caused the people in Shiva Town to cheer.
"Alright!"
"Let's do that?!"
"If the one who dies doesn't dare take up the challenge, then he will be considered to have admitted defeat!"
"If he doesn't dare fight, he's a coward! Hahahaha!"
The ones who said these words were neither Wild Wolves nor Chinese players. Both sides had cautiously chosen not to say anything in case they ended up insulting themselves. The ones who caused the ruckus were all the
casual players from Persia who did not know what was going on.
However, when a lot of people started cheering, it was also very terrifying!
All of Shiva Town descended into a ruckus.
A countless number of people started causing a ruckus in the town.
Evil Emperor replied with a dark expression, "Very well. Since you want to finish everything in one go, we'll do that. The one who dies has the right to come back and challenge the winner. If he doesn't show up in ten minutes, he will be considered to have admitted defeat and will acknowledge the other fully. Next time, when he sees the other party, he must leave!"
"Alright!" Happy replied firmly. The two matchless elites made their promise in front of the people.
Right after they finished speaking, not only did the Wild Wolves have solemn expressions appear on their faces, but the tens of thousands of Chinese players within the area held their breaths and trained their attention on the two people outside town as well. They turned on their recording function and directed their cameras at Evil Emperor and Happy, refusing to miss even a single detail.
At that moment, everyone knew that the next battle might be the battle that would determine the power layout in World of Martial Arts in the future!
It might also be the last fight between the two of them!
In a moment, the streets in Shiva Town became empty, because everyone was gathered on the wall where they could watch Evil Emperor and Happy's fight.
In the air, while Evil Emperor was under everyone's gazes, he slowly brought out a pair of bloody red gloves from his Universe Bag. It was a savage shade of red, and he calmly put it on his hands.
At the same time, Happy brought out a pair of gloves from his Universe Bag. It shone with a profound, black, and metallic light...
Chapter 1267 - A Dazzling Finger Attack that Determines Life and Death!
Once he brought out the blood-red gloves from his Universe Bag and wore it, Evil Emperor smiled brutally while he stared at Happy. He sneered. "You're under the effects of my Demonic Heart Seed now. If you die, you can never hope to be my opponent ever again."
