Chapter 1103 - Target, Revenge
Chapter 1103: Target, Revenge
When Dream Clouds saw that Evil Emperor had absolutely no way of fighting back and struggling in Happy’s hands, she knew that the scene she absolutely did not want to see had appeared in the fight once more. It was why he decided to attack resolutely. At the same time Evil Emperor diverted Happy’s attention, she decided to strike first and launch her offense beforehand.
It had to be said that Dream Clouds’ plan was right.
Once Happy was affected by the momentum around him and revealed the slightest opening, Evil Emperor might be able to break free from Happy’s hands and regain a chance to catch his breath and recover. Then, the victor of the fight would be left unknown once more. In fact, Class One Hall could use its large lineup of top-class elites to turn the tides.
However, she had clearly miscalculated Happy’s control over the situation and overestimated Evil Emperor’s current condition.
The consecutive hidden forces he released had long since thrown the qi and blood in Evil Emperor’s body into chaos. His body fortification was completely broken. Even with Fire Qilin Blood, he could not immediately recover such severe internal injuries one after another. Besides, there were obstructions in his meridian system, and even when the medicine took effect, it was not obvious.
When he noticed Dream Clouds interfering with the fight, Happy immediately made his decision.
Golden Scale Divine Sword delivered a golden sword halo that sliced through Evil Emperor’s throat.
Gush!
A red stream of blood charged into the sky.
Under the people’s eyes, the sounds of tens of thousands of horses galloping and the shouts that charged into the sky swiftly fell silent.
Evil Emperor died.
Countless Class One Hall members saw Evil Emperor’s head flying high into the air while they galloped forth.
They sucked in a sharp breath.
Many people found themselves rendered silent at that moment. Their eyes were fixed on Evil Emperor’s flying head, and they even forgot about breathing.
Dream Clouds, Flame Wolf, and the others found themselves unable to endure the sight.
When Dream Clouds saw Evil Emperor being killed, her pupils shrank swiftly. She looked in Happy and Evil Emperor’s direction while she tightened the reins in her hands, unable to believe what she saw. At some unknown point of time, her entire body had tensed up so much that her horse stopped moving.
Flame Wolf and his group might have gone through the experience of Evil Emperor dying once, but this was still the first time they personally witnessed Evil Emperor being killed by one single person.
They sucked in a sharp breath, and something in their hearts suddenly rumbled, causing them to feel a sense of loss and uneasiness.
Rumble...
In an instant, the group was buried in the sea of people moving forward.
Evil Emperor’s death might have delivered quite a shock on the group from Class One Hall, but it did not stop Class One Hall from advancing forth.
*****
Flap flap flap!
Even if the momentum of four hundred thousand people advancing forward at the same time caused the sky and earth to shake, Evil Emperor’s death still caused Lovely Land’s morale to increase by leaps and bounds. Messenger pigeons flew into the sky, and Ji Feng shouted loudly, “Evil Emperor has died! Brothers and sisters, we fight!”
He shouted in hysterical excitement.
Lovely Land did not shout loudly. Instead, they tightened their grips over their bows and arrows with stern faces while they waited for the order to fire.
There were tens of thousands of powerful bows nocked with at least four arrows on the bowstring. The grim presence around them seemed as if it had gained physical form. If it were not for the fact that a tall wall had blocked their sight, the Class One Hall members outside might be struck with fear before they even started fighting.
A group of people outside the headquarters were the first to attack.
“Group 1, fire! Group 2, fire! Group 3, fire!
“Group 1, advance!”
The sound of bowstrings being released rose nonstop, but they were incredibly weak among the thunderous gallops. They were only like ripples formed on an astonishing wave.
But when these ripples turned into a storm, even the sea could not help but be shocked by the sight.
Under the dark sky were torches that lit up the plains.
Unfortunately, the people could not see the shadows flying in the air until the dense sound of air being pierced through descended everywhere from the sky at a frequency and manner that caused the people’s skin to crawl. The Class One Hall members who were the first to enter its attack range all had their expressions change.
However, they were not even fast enough to activate the blocking effect from their body fortifications.
Thud!
The sound of bodies being pierced through rose and fell.
Boom!
These people and their horses were all stuck full of arrows. The powerful inertia caused them to fall into the dust.
Thud! Thud!
An endless wave of arrows rained down the sky like a thunderstorm. The arrows intersected with each other in front of countless Class One Hall members and formed a path of death that they could only cross if they gave up their lives for it.
Only a few people made it through...
*****
The surface area for Lovely Land’s headquarters was very large, and the area covered by the arrows was very large. The firepower an area had to endure cannot remain the same all the time, and it was also impossible to ensure that each region could deliver the same intensity of attack. Attacks that varied in strength from time to time was the weakness of a territory that had to attack an area that was too large.
“Roar!”
Even though Class One Hall lost a lot of people during the continuous wave of attacks during the first round, there were a few who held shields and rushed through the lockdown caused by the dense arrows raining down on them while they jumped over the horses’ carcasses.
Escaping death was enough to cause a person to charge forward madly in order to gain every second they could to attack.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
They were only 328 feet away from the first line of defense, and with just a few breaths, the distance between them was down to zero.
“Maintain the lockdown!”
While Ji Feng gave orders to maintain the situation, he also gave the signal for some members to move forward to attack.
Quite a number of people instantly moved away from the lineup of archers in Lovely Land. With fierce stares, they charged to these people who did not die from the arrows.
Boom!
The people from both sides clashed violently against each other. Even though countless arrows danced madly above them, light from torches charged to the sky, and pained screams could be heard nonstop, it did not make them lose the brutal look in their eyes that made them stake everything they had.
*****
Happy stood quietly in front of Evil Emperor’s corpse, shut his eyes, and breathed in as he enjoyed the feeling of endless arrows flying over his head while bringing with them a sharp and imposing presence. He slowly raised his head and stared at the group of Class One Hall members in front of him.
They were hesitating about whether they should advance forth.
All the other Class One Hall members everywhere had launched their offense, but the Class One Hall members right ahead of him did not dare take even a step forward.
Even though the order to attack had been issued for quite some time, not a single person dared take a step forward.
Happy was not at all surprised by this fact.
These people might be able to use shields and the carcasses of the warhorses to do something when they faced normal arrow showers. Perhaps they could even be lucky enough to rush near Lovely Land’s headquarters, but Evil Emperor’s blood had already spilled on this path. But the blood and head of the former strongest in the world was not the only thing on this path. On this path was also the current strongest player in the world, and anyone with a brain on their shoulders would know that they were not to take this path. They might even set up a signboard here saying that no one was to tread this path.
While Happy put away Golden Scale Divine Sword, he mumbled under his breath, “Wandering Know-it-all should have already controlled Beijing by now... After Evil Emperor dies, he will not be going back to Beijing. If Dream Clouds knows, she will not continue to fight against me. I’ll have to seize time and use this chance to get rid of this problem in one go.”
While he mumbled to himself, he held Recondite Steel Heavy Sword once more.
A chilly light shone in his eyes.
“Happy disappeared!”
The Class One Hall members across Happy had been watching Happy stand quietly near Evil Emperor’s corpse without moving. They could be considered to be in a calm state, but the endless, passionate shouts from all around them just kept sucking away their attention. When they heard the people beside them shout in surprise, countless pairs of eyes gathered at the spot where Happy originally was.
Now, aside from Evil Emperor’s corpse, Happy was nowhere to be found at the spot he once stood.
“Oh no!”
Flame Wolf and the others were the first in the crowd to realize that the situation was bad. They turned around and were prepared to notify the other Wild Wolves to increase their guard and spread out.
At that moment, a familiar voice rose behind Flame Wolf like a phantom.
“Where do you think you’re going?” It was an evil and teasing tone, and it caused Flame Wolf, who was already very tense, to feel all his hair rise. He reflexively delivered a slash.
“Ah!”
An innocent Class One Hall member cradled his chest and fell from his horse. Before he died, his eyes were filled with shock and dumbfoundedness. He could not believe that a Wild Wolf had attacked him.
When Flame Wolf saw the person he injured, he immediately knew that he had reacted too extremely. Happy must have used a secret, private message to provoke him.
But in the next second, a suction force he could not hope to fight against rose beside him.
Dragon Capture!
At the moment his body froze, Flame Wolf turned his head around in shock. His shoulder was seized by Happy, and he was currently staring at him with a relaxed smile.
Crack!
The Class One Hall members around also noticed Happy appearing at the same time. Before they even shouted in surprise, they saw two cold glares shoot out from Happy’s hands.
Boom!
Two arms flew into the air.
Even when he had his arms cut off, Flame Wolf did not let out a single grunt. He exhibited the tenacity and calmness of a mercenary at that moment by staggering into the crowd before he stood still. He stared coldly into Happy’s eyes before he shouted, “Attack! Kill him!”
He knew that Happy had decided to target him first because he had given him special treatment while he was outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. Right now, things had gone sour for him, and it was Happy’s turn to take “special” care of him.
But the reactions of the Class One Hall members around him caused Flame Wolf to be incredibly angry.
When the dozen top-class elites in charge of protecting Dream Clouds and Wild Wolves saw how wretched and pathetic he currently was, the first thing they did was not to save him, but to avoid him.
Rustle!
With just one sound, an empty spot was left behind as the originally dense group spread out.
Happy and Flame Wolf stuck out like a sore thumb because of it.
When he saw this, Flame Wolf instantly had his face pale, because he originally held hope. He looked around him with a disbelieving look.
“Bunch of useless idiots.”
His words seemed to have finally stirred up those Class One Hall members and snapped them out of their fear.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sounds of hidden weapons rose loudly in the crowd.
The people who did not have the confidence to fight head-on against Happy all chose to attack from the distance. They hid their faces and fired arrows or threw hidden weapons.
When multiple hidden weapons arrived in front of Happy, Happy suddenly sped up and left behind a group of afterimages that were scattered once the weapons hit them. He used Wave-like Subtle Steps to arrive in front of Flame Wolf.
And he gave Flame Wolf a derisive and cold gaze.
“No!”
Flame Wolf quickly understood the meaning behind Happy’s gaze. He opened his mouth and shouted.
Happy ignored his protests.
The hidden weapons around him did not manage to stop in time.
Thud! Thud!
Happy easily grabbed Flame Wolf’s body and swung him around like a shield.
The sound of a body being hit rose nonstop.
Most of the hidden weapons struck Flame Wolf’s body.
Flame Wolf’s body was struck full of holes by the series of attacks that did not deliver severe damage to him. Then, Happy threw him into the crowd like a broken sieve.
The hidden weapons in the area stopped attacking.
Countless pairs of eyes gathered Flame Wolf. His face, limbs, and body were stuck full of hidden weapons, and his body was left in a bloody mess, but he had not died just yet. These people simultaneously sucked in sharp breaths.
At that moment, they finally understood why Happy did not immediately slaughter them the moment he rushed into the crowd.
This was revenge, and it was targeted on a specific person.
