Chapter 1103: Reversal
“You lost!”
The opponent, whose internal energy had dropped to the Mysterious Realm, boldly uttered these three words in front of him, in a condescending tone. The Evil Emperor’s expression darkened instantly as he involuntarily recalled the agreement they had made seven days ago—to refrain from using any medicines during the duel and determine the winner based solely on their own strength…
Kai Xin hadn’t taken any pills yet, but the Evil Emperor had already consumed at least two Small Return Pills. According to their earlier agreement, it was indeed the Evil Emperor who had broken the rules and thus lost!
But… times have changed.
“We don’t have any agreements today…”
Feeling his internal energy rapidly recovering, the Evil Emperor smirked coldly. Without hesitation, he unleashed a mental storm from afar, restoring its power to at least the middle stage of the Mythical Realm!
Kai Xin was not in good condition yet and hadn’t used any medicines, making this an unparalleled opportunity for him, as he couldn’t yet use the Skill to Shatter the Void.
In an instant, three fierce palm winds, carrying immense mental pressure, swept toward him…
“Despicable!”
Anticipating that the Evil Emperor would deny responsibility, Kai Xin eagerly swallowed the blood of the Fire Qilin he had hidden in his hand the moment the Evil Emperor attacked.
The blood of the Fire Qilin contained astonishing vitality. Once it entered his throat, its power surged from his dantian, filling his expanded meridians in an instant. His internal energy rose from around 350 to over 500, increasing at a rate of more than 80 points per second…
Boom!!
The “Arhat Body” technique was activated…
All this happened in an instant. His skin turned metallic, and his body trembled as he barely resisted the intense impacts of the three consecutive mental storms.
A Golden Body Arhat!?
The Evil Emperor immediately recognized that the protective technique Kai Xin had used was the ultimate secret of the highly renowned Arhat Body from the Life and Death Realm. Though it lasted only briefly, it was just enough to counteract the several high-damage palm winds he had unleashed in an instant.
With the Golden Body Arhat combined with the “Tendon Transformation Scripture,” his body became like a fortress, effortlessly withstanding all the damage and remaining unharmed…
Three seconds was a short time!
But for Kai Xin, those three seconds were enough to raise his internal energy to the Liberation Realm level (640 points). As his realm reopened, the pleasant sensation of abundant energy flowing throughout his body made him let out a sigh of relief.
His strength had returned to his body!
Boom!!!
The “Immortal Body” technique was activated.
Amidst the swirling air currents, his vital energy flowed out from every part of his body.
Under the Evil Emperor’s suddenly changed expression, Happy’s appearance, which had lost its golden glow, was quickly enveloped by a dense layer of white true energy! The true energy field activated once again… “It’s my turn.” The Evil Emperor’s attacks stopped instantly. He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and tightened the fist wraps made of silkworm silk—given his killing power, which was not yet at its peak, no matter how fierce or frequent his attacks were, they would be futile. It was better to save his energy for Happy’s counterattacks. … “…” After a lightning-fast exchange with the Evil Emperor, Happy managed to reverse the situation in a highly mysterious way. Almost none of the onlookers could see clearly what had happened, unable to understand how Happy could suddenly recover from a desperate situation with his momentum rising at an astonishing rate! Only those who were more observant could discern something from the Evil Emperor’s cautious actions. The situation had changed… Just moments ago, the Evil Emperor had complete control. Now, it seemed to have reversed. The Evil Emperor became extremely cautious, even failing to enter that mysterious state of unity with nature again… Happy’s momentum went from extremely low to extremely high in less than ten seconds. He had originally planned to order his most skilled troops to lead an attack on the Jinxiu Riverland Headquarters, but this sudden reversal of the situation made Meng Yun’s smile freeze completely. Four hundred thousand troops fell silent once again! Meng Yun, Yan Lang, and the others stared at the Evil Emperor and Happy with complex expressions, their eyes filled with deep unease… … On the contrary, in the First-Class Hall! Happy’s kick reversed the situation dramatically. Although many people were still confused about what had happened, they had to admit that seeing Happy counterattack after being battered by the Evil Emperor was truly satisfying and boosted everyone’s morale. “I knew it! The sect leader couldn’t be defeated so easily!” Ji Feng’s heaving chest gradually calmed down as he spoke with joy, quietly wiping the sweat from his forehead. The people behind him nodded in agreement: “The boss will definitely win!” Only Yi Di remained silent, staring at Happy and the Evil Emperor with a strange look in his eyes. To be honest, even he didn’t fully understand what had happened in that astonishing reversal. However, it seemed he heard Happy say something to the Evil Emperor—a truly astonishing statement! And from Happy’s tone, Yi Di could clearly sense that overwhelming confidence and arrogance that stemmed from the heart!
Although it was unclear how Kai Xin, who relied on the blood of the Fire Qilin to restore his inner strength, could possess such confidence, the First Emperor chose to believe him without reason. After focusing his gaze on the Evil Emperor for a while, he turned to Ji Feng and transmitted a message: “Have the brothers of Gui Wu get ready.” Ji Feng was momentarily stunned before understanding. “Understood!” Before the fight began, Kai Xin had instructed him that as soon as the First Emperor gave him the signal, he could order Gui Wu’s brothers to assemble and prepare for a counterattack! … When the homing pigeon took off from the Jinxiu Riverland Temple, Kai Xin and the Evil Emperor clashed again! This time, the Evil Emperor was clearly at a disadvantage. Despite Kai Xin’s deliberate delay in allowing his inner strength to return to its peak, even enabling him to re-enter that mysterious state of merging with heaven and earth— the Evil Emperor’s confident strike only led to Kai Xin’s Dragon Tail Move! With precise calculation, he vanished from the Evil Emperor’s sight in an instant… Bang!! With a loud impact, the Evil Emperor’s body was kicked out of thin air. Once attacked, his state of merging with heaven and earth was instantly broken. But that wasn’t all. Kai Xin had made the Evil Emperor reach his peak inner strength precisely for this moment— to knock him off the pedestal of the world’s greatest master when he was most confident and unwilling to admit defeat, thereby shattering his ambitions to control the Central Plains. Swish!! After the Dragon Tail Move, the Golden Scaled Divine Sword unleashed four blood-red sword shadows, piercing deeply into the Evil Emperor’s body… The Evil Emperor’s reaction was remarkable. Hearing that eerie sound in the air, he immediately realized something was wrong. A dazzling flame burst from his body, barely blocking the Golden Scaled Divine Sword embedded in his flesh. A mysterious force weakened the sword’s attack significantly. Although the remaining force injured the Evil Emperor, he managed to survive by being sent flying. The power unleashed by Wind Filling the Sky was almost equivalent to the full force of a master at the Heaven and Man Unity realm, yet the Evil Emperor managed to withstand it. Even Kai Xin found it hard to believe— Wind Filling the Sky at its third level couldn’t break through the Evil Emperor’s defenses… Chasing after the Evil Emperor’s flying body, Kai Xin paused for a moment. Without seeing any movement of his knees, he leaped up like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he was right above the Evil Emperor! The familiar scenario was unfolding again. But to the despair of the Evil Emperor and countless people from the First Rank Hall, it was Kai Xin who was now in control of the situation, with the Evil Emperor now in peril. The speed of their clash was astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, two people at the peak of their powers ended up in such a state, making it hard to react or accept. It was then that the Evil Emperor realized that Happy seemed to possess a trump card that allowed him to dodge enemies instantly and launch fierce counterattacks—but it was too late… While in mid-air, hearing the sound of something approaching rapidly, his expression changed as he thought, “This is bad!” But before he could unleash his mental storm, a powerful sucking force spread rapidly from his clenched arms to his entire body, instantly destroying the internal energy he had barely gathered. “Damn it! Dragon Seizing Hand!” Disappointment and anger flashed through the Evil Emperor’s mind. Boom!!! A fierce sword aura, along with a killing intent, descended from the sky! The Evil Emperor had no chance to resist and was severely injured, being intercepted mid-air like a shell and dragged across the ground, leaving a short but deep groove behind… “Get lost!” Slamming his foot on the ground, the Evil Emperor angrily leaped out of the groove, flipping over more than ten meters before quickly taking out a drop of bright red blood from his Qi Bag and stuffing it into his mouth. Whoosh! Happy didn’t give the Evil Emperor any chance to counteract the effects of the medicine. As soon as he swallowed the blood of the Fire Qilin, Happy pursued him relentlessly. The injured Evil Emperor could hardly escape Happy’s pursuit! Clearly aware of this, Happy closed his palms, and a massive surge of energy descended from the sky, pushing toward Happy. Whatever move it was, Happy effortlessly used his Little Dragon form to dodge it—by then, the Evil Emperor’s composure was already shattered. The distance between them shrank to zero in an instant. The Evil Emperor was shocked! Up close, Happy could even clearly see the changes in the Evil Emperor’s narrowed pupils. Before he could react, a dark energy attacking from the ground made his body tremble, and soon, his shoulder seemed to be automatically delivered into Happy’s hands. Dragon Seizing Hand! Dark energy! More blood appeared at the corners of the Evil Emperor’s mouth. “As expected of the once number one master in the world—truly resilient…” While unleashing the dark energy, Happy slammed his palm on the Evil Emperor’s chest. The latter stumbled back three steps, the violent dark energy erupting from within, disrupting his balance. Even the Evil Emperor couldn’t instantly calm the chaotic energy and injuries inside him; his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground in a mess. Dragon Seizing Hand! Before he could escape, he was pulled back again. Crack! A Dragon Claw Hand tore through the Evil Emperor’s arm, transforming from claws to a palm. With a slight shake, Happy stepped forward without stopping. Bang! Their bodies collided, and the Evil Emperor was knocked off his feet by Happy’s perfect control and shoulder thrust, falling to the ground in a disheveled state.
“Kill!!!”
At that moment, a muffled roar of battle suddenly came from afar, followed by the thundering sound of hooves!
Boom!
The vast sea of fire finally boiled over!
Realizing that the First Rank Hall’s army had mobilized, Kai Xin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: He had planned to use the Evil Emperor to demoralize the First Rank Hall, but Meng Yun saw through it after all.
The battle broke out earlier than expected!
Then…
There was no need to continue the confrontation with the Evil Emperor anymore.
A cold glint flashed in Kai Xin’s eyes!
