Chapter 1045: The Evil Emperor Takes Action

Inside the main hall of Xifeng Tower, over twenty Tang Sect experts used their hidden weapon techniques in a stunningly fierce manner. Under the cover of their companions wearing dark gold cloaks, their hands moved like wind and fire wheels, unleashing bursts of sound as they fired sharp metal weapons. These weapons seemed to possess a life of their own—appearing chaotic yet actually targeting the first-rank Tang Sect disciples with varying speeds, making it impossible to defend against.

Swish! Swish!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hiss…

In the air, countless weapons flew in a dazzling flurry, filling the space like rain, leaving those below utterly terrified:
“Where did so many experts come from? Even the Tang Sect’s ‘Buddha-Hearted Master’ is here…”

At first, many could still defend against the onslaught of weapons, but soon they couldn’t keep up—the Tang Sect experts moved like machines, firing continuously, left hand after right hand, at an incredible speed. Their movements were blinding, and in moments, hundreds of soldiers attacking from both sides were knocked down!

With the counterattacks from Xifeng Tower’s disciples, the enemy was gradually pushed back dozens of meters under the pressure and soon completely retreated.

“Great job!”
“Haha! Drive them out!”

Just as Xifeng Tower’s disciples were eager to launch a counterattack to drive the enemy away, Wu Kuo cautiously ordered, “Hold the line! Stay steady!”

Although morale was crucial in battle, the more than two hundred top experts in the hall couldn’t be overwhelmed by mere enthusiasm. They were all elite members of Xifeng Tower and could follow orders. Though reluctantly, they retreated and reformed their defenses.

The Tang Sect group, seeing no enemies in the area, turned their attention to the clash of top experts in the central hall.

Actually, as they climbed onto the roof, they had noticed the skill level of those fighting and became eager to join in. Without Wu Kuo’s reminder, they already grabbed handfuls of weapons and targeted their respective enemies.

……

“Hall Master!”
“A group of Tang Sect hidden weapon experts has appeared in Xifeng Tower’s main hall and driven our men back! Leading them is the famous ‘Buddha-Hearted Master’ Yan Biwu from the Dragon List. His companions are all top hidden weapon experts who recently completed Tang Sect’s mission…” Someone rushed back from Xifeng Tower’s main hall to report, asking if a targeted elimination strategy should be used.

“Xie Lingyun, Luo Jing, Shi Huasheng—have they all returned?”

Meng Yun turned around slowly and asked. As soon as her words faded, three people stepped forward from the crowd behind her, each with an apologetic expression, and bowed together, saying, “Hall Master.”
“Be more careful this time. Go and bring back the heads of Yan Biwu and Feng Ling,” Meng Yun ordered calmly, confident in the abilities of the three top experts she had personally chosen.
The three exchanged glances.
“Yes!”
“No need.”
Just as they were about to set off, a faint voice came from the side, along with an invisible aura of authority that stopped them in their tracks.
Everyone around was shocked!
The Evil Emperor spoke indifferently, “Kai Xin can kill you once—he can kill you again. The people inside can’t hold him back. It’s useless for you three to go. I’ll handle it myself. Stay here and protect your Hall Master from being captured.” As he spoke, his gaze swept indifferently in a certain direction on the street, then, under the attention of countless people, he lifted off the ground, flying straight above the rooftops toward the main hall of the Xifeng Tower, a distance of over a hundred meters, in an unbelievably astonishing manner.
“Hiss…”
Below, many people looked up, staring in awe at the white-haired Evil Emperor flying through the air, too stunned to speak for a long time…
Meng Yun and the others were also shocked for several seconds.
But Meng Yun quickly understood what the Evil Emperor meant. Frowning, she turned to look in the direction he had indicated and saw a group of unfamiliar faces from non-First-Class Hall and twelve capital city gangs gathered in a nearby tavern, staring blankly at the sky.
Her brows tightened. From the expressions and demeanor of these players without any gang insignia, she sensed a hint of threat!
All the top experts moved to the front. Although there were countless First-Class Hall experts surrounding them, those who could make the Evil Emperor speak personally must be quite powerful.
“Hall Master?”
Seeing Xie Lingyun and the others show concern again, Meng Yun frowned and ordered, “Stay here for now.”
“Yes.”
…
The exceptional skill of the Tang Sect’s experts with hidden weapons indeed reduced the pressure on the Xifeng Tower side significantly.
Even top experts, faced with a group of highly skilled hidden weapon experts and various weapons constantly circling above them looking for an opportunity to strike, became distracted and occasionally showed weaknesses.
On top of that, there was already Kai Xin, who forced them to stay on high alert, plus the Music Demon, who kept disturbing them with his continuous music.
Under these triple pressures, the more than two hundred top experts gradually fell behind for the first time in a full-scale confrontation.

……
“Be careful!”
Thwack!
Another expert from the Capital Gang was overwhelmed by his opponent and pierced in the neck by several hidden weapons from tricky angles, blood gushing forth.
“Damn it, it’s poisonous!”
“Nonsense. The Tang Sect has always relied on hidden weapons and poison skills to dominate the world.” Yan Biwu finished off one man with a contemptuous sneer. Without even looking, two mother-and-child darts intertwined and spun several times in the air, mercilessly taking that man’s life.
Cheers rose from the crowd behind him!
Fifth one!
This was already the fifth top expert he had killed with hidden weapons.
Yet Yan Biwu felt neither satisfaction nor pride.
He glanced at the figure moving through the most dangerous area and silently marveled…
Killing five top experts in a row was already an extraordinary achievement even for a master of the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons, but it wasn’t all hismerit.
If not for that guy who drew most of the attention, if not for the dozens of top experts from the Xifeng Tower at the front lines, if not for the Qin Demon, their hidden weapons wouldn’t have been able to exert such devastating power!
Besides…
Acting secretly under so many external factors and using the most advanced techniques to strike from behind wasn’t particularly satisfying.
In contrast, the joy of moving among the crowd, calmly drawing fire while surrounded by top experts and effortlessly killing those who seemed unattainable in the eyes of countless martial artists—that was true strength.
This was also the real reason why the Xifeng Tower could still survive under Meng Yun’s tactics!
“Be careful!”
“The Evil Emperor is coming!”
“Archers, get ready!!”
Just as Yan Biwu was quickly looking for his next target, panicked voices suddenly arose behind him.
Startled, Yan Biwu and his group looked up and indeed saw a dazzling figure approaching from the opposite sky, radiating supreme authority and momentum.
Before he even got close, a nearly destructive pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Xifeng Tower—the personal arrival of the Evil Emperor quickly caused unprecedented panic and tension within the tower’s headquarters!
Wu Kuo and the others were highly tense, staring intently at the white-haired Evil Emperor flying from afar, issuing orders at lightning speed!
“Shoot arrows!”
“Don’t let him get close to the headquarters!!”

Wu Kuo is the elder brother of Meiying and the person within the Xifeng Tower’s main hall who knows best about the Evil Emperor’s strength. He is well aware that the “Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa” is actually a martial art that transcends conventional combat techniques—a supreme art form that combines a strange mental force and psychological pressure with every move. No matter what martial skill is used, its effects are amplified exponentially, making them unbearable. Even the Emperor was able to withstand over a hundred attacks from the Evil Emperor only because of his extraordinary background and strengthened will…

Ordinary people can hardly even dare to attack in front of the Evil Emperor!

A single glance can plunge one into a nightmare, making it extremely difficult to control one’s internal energy; let alone resist an attack.

Now, even before the Evil Emperor enters the Xifeng Tower’s main hall, the mental suppression of the “Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa” has already left many people helpless. If he gets any closer, their defenses will collapse completely, and the tower will soon face devastating disasters and attacks. It’s possible that before the tower’s leader can bring reinforcements, Xifeng Tower will no longer be able to hold out.

There’s no other choice—everything must be done to stop the Evil Emperor and buy time!

At Wu Kuo’s command, many archers rushed out of the main hall. Countless arrows were neatly prepared on their bows!

A rain of arrows was unleashed…

But almost at the same time they fired, an overwhelming pressure descended!

Boom!

The archers’ bodies sank slightly, causing their arrows to lose their accuracy and fly past the Evil Emperor harmlessly, failing to pose any threat to him at all.

“A bunch of ants.”

The Evil Emperor stood on nothingness, flying over the walls of Xifeng Tower’s main hall. The intense pressure he exerted made it impossible for the archers on the steps to fire another round of arrows. The contempt in his eyes grew even more evident.

Inside the main hall of Xifeng Tower, with the addition of several Tang Sect experts, the number of top experts who had died already exceeded eighty, leaving less than 160 remaining.

Now that the Evil Emperor had arrived in person, he once again suppressed Xifeng Tower’s morale.

Unfortunately for them, the mental suppression of the “Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa” affected everyone in the area equally—there was no difference between those from the First-Class Hall and the rest. Otherwise, just the appearance of the Evil Emperor would have been enough to break Xifeng Tower’s defenses!

Music!

Hidden weapons!

Rain of arrows!

At this moment, all of these lost their original deterrent power.

It seemed as though only the Evil Emperor was soaring through the skies under the gazes of countless people who watched him with awe, effortlessly exuding his boundless authority!
But at that very moment…
Several agonized screams erupted from the crowd in Yipin Hall, suddenly drawing the attention of everyone in the main hall, including the Evil Emperor, who showed a hint of surprise. Looking down at the figure that still moved swiftly despite his mental suppression, wielding a heavy black iron sword, he frowned slightly. With a cold snort from his nose, a crackling sonic boom filled the air as a mental storm several times stronger condensed instantly and swept in that direction!
