In truth, when Happy easily broke through his seventh slash and could even swiftly launch a fierce counterattack, One Emperor knew that Happy's strength had far surpassed his expectations. At the same time, he also knew that Happy already had the ability to make him fight at full strength, especially at the instant Dragon Capture closed in on him. That was why he skipped the eighth and ninth slashes without hesitation and attacked with his sword.
Take Life with the Sword!
It was different from a normal Sword Control Style. One Emperor's attack contained the will to destroy everything. It was the most domineering and sharp sword will in the world of martial artists, and it was already very close to the strength of Empress Yin's sword technique.
His heart skipped a beat!
Happy quickly turned around to protect himself.
The black flying sword crashed into the Recondite Steel Heavy Sword with a loud clang.
"Ugh!!"
Happy shuddered a little. Even though Recondite Steel Heavy Sword itself had extraordinary resistance and its parry rate was incredibly high, under the sword will that was filled with an indomitable will, he was still sent flying more than thirty feet back in a rather pathetic manner.
"Great sword technique!"
"You're not bad either."
"You're the first person in the Chinese world of martial artists to force me to use my tenth slash."
"It's my honor!"
Even though Happy knew that if he had activated his true origin aura just now, the effects would have been better, he did not know whether the Prophet had noticed him, which was why he did not want to immediately reveal his trump card. Besides, One Emperor had not even drawn his eleventh and twelfth slashes yet.
"What Bai Xiaosheng told me before, I believe it now." But what surprised Happy was that once One Emperor forced him away, he summoned back his black longsword and sheathed it. He walked over with a smile and looked as if he wanted to stop fighting.
"If the tenth slash already possesses such power, then the next two slashes will definitely be even more terrifying."
One Emperor stared deeply at Happy and smiled.
"Your strength has already exceeded my expectations. Even I am not completely confident that I can win against you with the last two slashes. Besides, my twelfth slash is currently prepared for my enemy, Evil Emperor. When we have enough time and chance in the future, we will fight again!"
"It's a deal!"
Happy knew that he had already obtained One Emperor's acknowledgement, and he also knew that One Emperor was also worried about revealing his strength, which was why he took the initiative to stop. He immediately smiled and nodded.
"That's right. Right now, our opponent is Evil Emperor. Once we're done with this, I'll take on your other slashes!"
"I suddenly feel that the Chinese server still has some hope!" Once he finished speaking, One Emperor did not say anything else. He walked over with his sword, brushed past Happy, and left the sect prison.
"…"
Happy pondered One Emperor's final sentence carefully before he turned around slowly and stared at the exit of the prison. He frowned slightly, and his thoughts ran wild. 'Could it be that One Emperor has already lost hope in the Chinese server?'
"… I don't think so."
He shook his head and placed the human skin mask on his face again. Then, he walked into the depths of the prison where the Myth Realm prisoners were imprisoned.
…
Wind Assault Tower's headquarters.
Phantasmal Shadow and the higher ups of Wind Assault Tower gathered together with a grim atmosphere. Many of them were incredibly silent and did not say a single word even after a long time had passed. Their expressions were dejected, and their morale was low.
Even Phantasmal Shadow was staring ahead with a grave expression. Her eyes sparkled, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
After an unknown amount of time, someone finally broke the unbearable silence.
"We can't go on like this."
The person who spoke was an elite from the Elder Hall of Wind Assault Tower's headquarters, and he was one of the top hundred on the Dragon Rank.
"Tower master, as of today, we've already been surrounded by Class One Hall for a few days. Our members don't even dare go out of the city gates, and they can't train. Some of the people who snuck out of the city at night were killed and brought back. If we don't do anything and continue like this, before Evil Emperor even arrives in the Chinese server, Wind Assault Tower might not be able to last!"
"That's right."
Someone sighed meaningfully and earnestly.
"If I were Dream Clouds, the current situation would be very beneficial to me, and I would definitely not let Evil Emperor come over to save us. If this continues, Wind Assault Tower will be done for. The resource points outside will definitely be divided by Class One Hall and the sects in Beijing!"
When she heard this, Phantasmal Shadow frowned even more.
"Tower master, we might as well fight against them."
The Elder Hall might sound like they were very level-headed, but in truth, they were a group of extraordinary, hot-blooded youngsters. When they heard this, quite a number of people clenched their fists and stood up to express their stance.
"That's right!"
"Instead of feeling aggrieved day after day, it's better to fight to our heart's content against Class One Hall and fight to the death!"
Quite a number of people agreed with her.
Right now, there were plenty of rumors in Beijing saying that Wind Assault Tower had offended Class One Hall and was enemies with all the sects in Beijing. Their days had come to an end, and right now, quite a number of people from the branches had left one after another.
One of the reasons was because of the rumors and the fact that they could not see hope.
The other reason was because Wind Assault Tower did not do anything and did not come out, which made them feel incredibly aggrieved.
However.
Wind Assault Tower still had a lot of people who were calm and considered the overall situation.
"How are we supposed to fight against them?"
"Right now, more than ten sects in Beijing are all standing on Class One Hall's side. They have three to four times the number of people we have, and it's the same for the number of top-class elites they have. Even if we use our lives to fight against them, we won't be able to protect ourselves! At that time, Class One Hall will benefit from it, and we'll just hasten our own destruction. "
"Everyone, calm down!"
"That's right, the tower master and Wandering Know-it-all will definitely think of a way."
When the group comforted their own people, they were not very confident, because right now, Wind Assault Tower was indeed facing an unprecedented danger. Even if One Emperor was helping them by the side, they could not see the light of hope for them to turn the situation around.
All of this was just brought to them by Class One Hall.
Evil Emperor had yet to truly descend on the Chinese server!
"…"
Just when the group became dejected and fell silent again, a tall figure suddenly walked into the hall slowly with a dazzling and sharp glare.
The group sensed him.
"One Emperor!" "One Emperor!"
Phantasmal Shadow, who had not said a single word since the beginning, finally had her expression change. She stood up from her seat and faced One Emperor, who walked in with steady footsteps. She forced out a smile.
"You're here.
I see, so you're all 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 to the sect prison alone, which is why I didn't bother you. One Emperor, do you have a plan for coming here this time?"
During this period of time, Phantasmal Shadow was already a little mentally and physically exhausted. When she saw One Emperor, she felt as if she had found a pillar that she could rely on and support.
When they heard Phantasmal Shadow's question, the group of Wind Assault Tower's higher ups in the hall put on eager expressions, and they looked over.
Right now, the news they wanted to hear the most was a chance for them to turn the situation around.
But with Class One Hall and more than ten Beijing sects locking down the area tightly, it was impossible for Wind Assault Tower to break through.
The only good news that could let them vent their anger was One Emperor's plan for revenge.
One Emperor's gaze lingered on Phantasmal Shadow's indistinct face for a few seconds.
"I don't have a plan. This time, I came here mainly because I want to meet that person."
"…"
A disappointed look appeared on the faces of the crowd.
They did not care about the person One Emperor met.
Only Phantasmal Shadow stared into One Emperor's eyes. For some reason, she felt that One Emperor was in a very good mood, and his drive seemed to have increased instead of decreasing.
"You met him?"
Phantasmal Shadow asked.
One Emperor nodded with a smile.
"You exceeded my expectations."
"Is the situation pretty good?" Phantasmal Shadow's eyes lit up.
"Yup."
The smile on One Emperor's face did not fade away, and he added, "Very good."
The group of Wind Assault Tower's higher ups in the area finally sensed a wave of delight flowing between them from their slightly mysterious conversation. All of them could not help but feel curious, and they became a little interested in the person they spoke of.
"Tower master, who are you talking about?"
Even though they knew that there was an important person in the sect prison and that Phantasmal Shadow had personally arranged for him, they did not know who he was.
But …
Since even One Emperor was lured over and was treated with great importance by One Emperor and Phantasmal Shadow, then this person might not be an ordinary person.
"A hope." Phantasmal Shadow did not immediately answer, because when Happy entered Wind Assault Tower's headquarters, he had said that he did not want anyone to know about his arrival, aside from One Emperor, Wandering Know-it-all, and her.
Phantasmal Shadow could still keep it a secret.
One Emperor's answer caused Phantasmal Shadow's gloomy mood to become much better.
If she could get One Emperor's firm answer, it meant that Happy was not lying.
But …
In this fight that concerned Wind Assault Tower's survival and the future of the Chinese server, a single person's strength was usually not enough to decide the victor of a war.
Phantasmal Shadow regained her rationality after she was delighted, and she subconsciously sent a private message to One Emperor.
"I know that Happy is very strong. How confident do you think you will be able to hold Evil Emperor back if the two of you work together? Or rather, how long can you hold him back? "
Phantasmal Shadow's plan in the beginning was to have One Emperor and Happy work together to fight against Evil Emperor. Then, she would mobilize all the forces in the Chinese server to fight against Class One Hall's alliance.
If One Emperor and Happy did not quickly crumble, perhaps the Chinese server would still have a chance to survive. After all, Wind Assault Tower had quite a lot of Illusion Life and Death Pills in their storage.
As long as the two of them could last for a period of time and hold back Evil Emperor, they could ensure that Wind Assault Tower would not suffer a destructive blow within a short period of time, and sooner or later, the Chinese server would be able to provide reinforcements.
"…"
When he heard this, One Emperor's gaze lingered on Phantasmal Shadow's face for a few seconds before he answered seriously.
"I don't know about this either. I can't give you accurate information, because we don't know just how strong Evil Emperor is."
"Is that so?" Phantasmal Shadow was a little disappointed. She originally thought that One Emperor would be able to provide great help when he mentioned that Happy would be of great help, and she thought that the situation had turned for the better.
"You don't have to worry." One Emperor could naturally see the worry in Phantasmal Shadow's heart. Without batting an eyelid, he sent a private message to her. "I can't make any guesses because I don't know Evil Emperor's current strength. The other reason is that I still don't know Happy's limits."
"Hmm?"
Phantasmal Shadow looked up in shock and stared at One Emperor in disbelief. "You didn't fight against him?"
"It's because I didn't manage to find out his full strength."
One Emperor's casual answer caused Phantasmal Shadow's heart to tremble.
