In truth, when Happy had easily canceled his seventh move and even swiftly launched a fierce counterattack, One Emperor knew that Happy’s strength had surpassed his expectations. He also knew at that moment that Happy already had the right for him to fight against him at full strength, which was why when Dragon Capture came close to him, he had skipped the eighth and ninth slash without hesitation and had his sword fly.

Fatal Sword Control was different from normal sword control techniques. One Emperor’s attack contained a will that could destroy everything, and it was the most domineering as well as sharp sword will in World of Martial Arts. His attack was already very close to the strength in Empress Yin’s sword technique.

Happy’s heart froze.

He quickly turned around to protect himself.

The black flying sword crashed against Recondite Steel Heavy Sword with a loud clang.


Urk!


Happy’s body shuddered. Even though Recondite Steel Heavy Sword contained an extraordinary ability in resisting shock and had a very high block rate, this indomitable sword will still made him retreat by more than thirty feet in a rather pathetic manner.


What an amazing sword technique!



You’re pretty good as well. You’re the first person in the Chinese server who forced me to use my tenth slash.



It’s an honor.


Even though Happy knew that he might not have been in such a pathetic state if he had activated his true origin aura just now, he did not know whether the Prophet was paying attention to this place, and he was not willing to immediately reveal his trump card. Besides, One Emperor had not used his eleventh and twelfth slash just yet.


Now, I believe in what Wandering Know-it-all told me just now.
But what caught Happy by surprise was that once One Emperor forced him away, he summoned his black longsword back to him and sheathed his sword. He smiled and walked over. It was clear that he no longer intended to fight.


Your tenth slash is already incredibly strong, so your next two slashses must be even more frightening.
Happy intentionally released a huge breath.

One Emperor just stared at Happy with a profound gaze before he smiled.
Your strength has already exceeded my expectations, and even I’m not certain whether I can use my next two slashes to win against you. Besides, my twelfth slash is currently reserved for an enemy, Evil Emperor. When we have enough time and a chance, let’s fight again.



That’s a promise!
Happy knew that he had already been acknowledged by One Emperor, and he also knew that One Emperor was also worried about revealing his strength, which was why he took the initiative to stop fighting. So he immediately nodded with a smile.
That’s right. Our current opponent is Evil Emperor. Once this matter comes to an end, let me fight against your other sword slashes!



Now, I suddenly feel that there is still hope for the Chinese server!
After he said this, One Emperor said nothing else. He took his sword and left, brushing his shoulder against Happy’s when he did. Then, he left the sect prison.

Happy was stunned silent.

He carefully went over One Emperor’s last sentence before he turned around slowly and stared at One Emperor as he left through the entrance of the prison. He scowled while his thoughts ran. Could it be that One Emperor had actually thought that there was already no hope for the Chinese server before this?


…That shouldn’t be the case, right?


Happy shook his head and put the human skin mask on his face again before he walked into the depths of the prison, where the cell for the Myth Realm criminals were.



At Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were Phantasmal Shadow and a group of Wind Assault Tower’s higher ups. They gathered together with a solemn atmosphere. Many of them were incredibly silent, and they did not say anything even after a long time had passed. Their expressions were dark, and their morale low.

Even Phantasmal Shadow was in the same situation. She stared ahead with a grave expression, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

No one knew how much time had passed, but someone finally spoke to break the unbearable silence.


We can’t continue like this.


The speaker was an elite at Wind Assault Tower’s Elder Hall. He was a person who was ranked among the top one hundred on Dragon Rank.


Tower master, up to this date, we have been surrounded by Class One Hall and locked in the city for several days. Our members don’t even dare leave the city gate, and they can’t train. Some of them snuck out of the city during night, but they were all killed and sent back. If we don’t do something and this continues, Wind Assault Tower might fall before Evil Emperor even comes to the Chinese server!



That’s right.
Someone sighed gravely.
If I were Dream Clouds, I’d know that the situation right now is completely beneficial to me, and I will absolutely not allow Evil Emperor to come and save me. If this drags on, Wind Assault Tower is finished. Our resource points outside will definitely be divided by Class One Hall and those sects in Beijing!


When she heard this, Phantasmal Shadow scowled even more.


Tower master, we might as well fight with everything we have against them.


The name, Elder Hall might sound as if the members there were all very level headed people, in truth, they were just a group of extraordinary, passionate youths gathered together. When they heard this, many of them clenched their fists and stood up to show their stance.


That’s right!



Instead of nursing our grievances every day, it’s better to fight to our heart’s content against Class One Hall! Let’s engage in a life and death fight with them!


Many agreed to this statement.

Right now, there were plenty of rumors circulating in Beijing saying that Wind Assault Tower had offended Class One Hall this time, and they had also turned enemies against all the sects in Beijing. Their days were coming to an end, and right now, many people in the branches had left.

Part of it was because of the rumors and because they saw no hope in the situation.

The other part was because Wind Assault Tower had done nothing. They just kept being cowards, and the people who left felt incredibly aggrieved.

However, there were still many Wind Assault Tower members who were calm and paid attention to the whole situation.


How are we supposed to fight against them…?



Right now, there are more than ten sects in Beijing who have sided with Class One Hall, and the number of people they have is three to four times our size. That’s the same for the number of top-class elites they have. Even if we use our lives to cover for that number, we can’t protect our capital! At that time, we would just be benefiting Class One Hall, and we’ll just be increasing the speed for our destruction.



Everyone, calm down!



That’s right. The tower master and Wandering Know-it-all must definitely have a way out for the situation.


But even though the group comforted their own men, they did not sound confident, because Wind Assault Tower was indeed facing a danger they had never faced before. Even if they had One Emperor helping them by the side, they still did not see the light for them to turn the tides.

And all this darkness was brought by Class One Hall alone.

Evil Emperor had not even truly arrived at the Chinese server yet!

Silence fell.

Just when the group of people became dispirited and became quiet again, a figure suddenly walked in slowly from outside the hall with a straight back and a dazzling light.

Everyone in the group responded!


One Emperor!



One Emperor!


Phantasmal Shadow had been sitting at the seat of honor in the room all this while without saying a single thing. Her expression finally changed, and she got up from her seat to go up to One Emperor, who walked in with steady footsteps. She forced herself to smile.


You’re here.



Ah, everyone is here.


One Emperor looked around with a calm expression, and his tone was relaxed.


I heard from my subordinates that you’re here, but you went straight to the sect prison, which is why I didn’t bother you. One Emperor, did you come here with a plan this time?’

This period of time had caused Phantasmal Shadow to feel a little exhausted mentally and physically. When she saw One Emperor, she felt as if she had found a pillar of strength that could support her, and to whom she could depend on.

When they heard Phantasmal Shadow’s question, the group of Wind Assault Tower higher ups in the hall had fervent looks on their faces as they looked over.

Right now, what they wanted to hear the most was the possibility of a change for the better.

However, Class One Hall and more than ten Beijing sects had locked down the city tightly. They had even enforced martial law here. Wind Assault Tower simply could not find any way to break out of the situation.

The only person who could bring them good news and allow them to vent their frustrations was One Emperor when he brought with him his plans for revenge.

One Emperor’s gaze landed on Phantasmal Shadow’s blurry face for a few seconds.


I don’t have a plan. My main goal for coming here this time is to meet that person.


Silence.

The group had disappointment appear on their faces.

They were not concerned by the person One Emperor wanted to see.

Only Phantasmal Shadow stared into One Emperor’s eyes. For some reason, she felt that One Emperor was in a very relaxed state. In fact, the sharp aura on him did not seem to have been reduced, but had grown stronger!


Did you see him?
Phantasmal Shadow demanded.

One Emperor smiled and nodded.
He exceeded my expectations.



The situation is good?
Phantasmal Shadow’s eyes lit up.

One Emperor’s smile did not fade away. He said,
Yeah. It’s really good.


The group of Wind Assault Tower higher ups were finally able to sense joy between the two based on their mysterious conversation. They could not help but have their curiosity sparked, and they were not a little interested in the person these two spoke of.


Tower master, who are you talking about?


While they knew that the important person who went into their sect prison was someone Phantasmal Shadow had personally arranged to be there, they still did not know who exactly he was.

However, since One Emperor had been lured over and One Emperor as well as Phantasmal Shadow paid so much attention to him, that person might not be some normal person.


A hope for us.
Phantasmal Shadow did not immediately answer them, because when Happy entered Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, he already told her that he did not wish for the news of his arrival to be known by anyone aside from One Emperor, Wandering Know-it-all, and Phantasmal Shadow.

Phantasmal Shadow could still keep his presence here a secret.

One Emperor’s answer allowed Phantasmal Shadow to recover by a huge degree from his dejection.

If Happy could have his strength acknowledged so firmly by One Emperor, it meant that what Happy previously stated was not fake.

However, this was a battle that concerned Wind Assault Tower’s survival as well as the lifeline of the Chinese server. One person’s strength was usually not enough to determine who would be the victor of a war.

After her initial joy, Phantasmal Shadow regained her rationality, and she instinctively sent a private message to One Emperor.


I know that Happy is very strong. How certain are you of holding Evil Emperor back if you and Happy work together against him? Or should I say, how long can both of you hold him back?


Phantasmal Shadow’s plan right from the start was to have One Emperor and Happy work together to fight against Evil Emperor before she had all the forces in the Chinese server fight against Class One Hall and her allies.

If One Emperor and Happy did not fall too quickly, perhaps the Chinese server would still have a chance of survival. After all, Wind Assault Tower still had a lot of Illusion Life and Death Pills left in their storage.

As long as both of them could last for a while and hold Evil Emperor back to guarantee Wind Assault Tower would not face a destructive charge, the Chinese server would definitely be able to gradually send help over.

One Emperor said nothing. When he heard this, his gaze remained for a few seconds on Phantasmal Shadow’s face. Then, he replied earnestly but gravely,
I’m not certain either. I cannot give detailed information, because we don’t know just how strong Evil Emperor has become.



Is that so?
Phantasmal Shadow was slightly disappointed. She originally thought that when One Emperor mentioned Happy so happily, it meant that he could provide a huge help to him, and she thought that they could turn the tides.


You don’t have to worry.
One Emperor could naturally tell just what Phantasmal Shadow was worried about, and without batting an eyelid, he sent her a private message,
We can’t make a judgment right now because we don’t know how strong Evil Emperor has become, and because I don’t know Happy’s limits.



Huh?
Phantasmal Shadow looked up in surprise and stared at One Emperor in disbelief.
Didn’t I fight him?



We did fight, but I didn’t manage to gauge his full strength.


One Emperor’s brief answer caused Phantasmal Shadow’s heart to tremble violently!
