Chapter 1113: Eleven Swords
“I don’t even care about your affairs.”
Facing the Emperor’s annoyed yet forcibly calm gaze, Kai Xin directly shifted his attention to a corner of the hall. “Anyway, it was Bai Xiaosheng who told me this. Do whatever you want. If I, as the deputy head of Jinxiu Heshan, can take down the leader of Xifeng Tower and marry her, wouldn’t that give me, as the head, some face?”
“Stop talking nonsense and take my attack!”
Realizing he wouldn’t gain an advantage by continuing the conversation, the Emperor swung his long sword, intensifying the sword energy soaring into the sky. The cold and severe sword energy finally dispelled the slight embarrassment on his face, restoring his composure.
Feeling the terrifying sword energy and pressure emanating from the Emperor, Kai Xin’s Internal Qi Circulation Technique activated automatically, making the golden sword aura radiating from the Golden Scaled Divine Sword even clearer and stronger.
“Annoyed and angry? Fine. I’ll talk to you about other things after you see my eleventh sword…” The sword pressure from the Emperor was easily dispelled.
The Emperor also knew that even the spiritual pressure of the Evil Emperor couldn’t affect Kai Xin, so this level of sword energy surely couldn’t have any impact on him. Seeing Kai Xin enter battle mode, he didn’t hesitate and rushed forward, unleashing a continuous stream of sword energy from his hand!
Whoosh!!
The cold sword emitted a long howl as the sword energy split the air.
The powerful sword energy surged several times over, and an unprecedentedly oppressive atmosphere rose from the Emperor, pressing fiercely toward Kai Xin.
Boom!!!
The speed of the sword energy was extremely fast, accompanied by an increasingly terrifying gust of wind, resembling a lightning bolt tearing through a stormy sea!
If an ordinary person faced this killing move from the Emperor, whose power reached the realm of unity between man and heaven, they would likely collapse under the pressure even before the attack reached them.
But…
For someone with 3 points of willpower, Kai Xin effortlessly escaped the Emperor’s sword pressure, seeing through the false pretenses!
The Emperor’s long sword instantly formed a square, continuously advancing sword net in mid-air, like a silent cutting machine that kept expanding ahead, ready to engulf and shatter anyone within it.
Just this move already made Kai Xin feel a sense of crisis. Frowning, he pushed off with his toes and rushed backward at high speed.
“Go!”
A glint appeared in the Emperor’s eyes as he channeled his internal energy. The continuous sword net expanded significantly, accelerating its advance and closely pursuing Kai Xin’s fleeing figure.
Having retreated less than ten zhang, the Sword Net had already expanded to ten meters square. The fierce sword intent, accompanied by an omnipresent sharpness, sliced viciously from all directions. At this moment, there was no time to stay happy and refrain from fighting.
Swish!!
The sword, built up for a long time, was thrust out without any trace of flourish…
Ding!!!
A slight tremor shook the air!
Immediately afterward, astonishing power erupted in the air. A violent shock wave, centered on the point where the sword had been thrust, swept violently in all directions!
Yet, the shock wave failed to knock the two figures off their feet. As they were in mid-air, the figures of the Emperor and Happy disappeared almost at the same time. The Emperor seemed to vanish from the air as if dragged by his long sword!
Happy, on the other hand, immediately activated his Dragon Form…
Because the moment the Emperor’s Sword Net was shattered by the wind, an even more ethereal sword intent descended from the sky, far more threatening than before. If this strike landed, even a True Vital Energy field would likely suffer significant damage. Moreover, Happy could sense that this sword attack still fell within the scope of the eleventh move—its seamless progression indicated it was still the eleventh sword.
The true eleventh sword!
Now that even Wind-Filled Sky had been used yet the Emperor’s eleventh sword hadn’t been countered, Happy felt somewhat dissatisfied. Instead of immediately activating his True Vital Energy field, he activated his Dragon Form at the moment of crisis to avoid the sense of being locked down, hoping to create some opportunities through his own skills.
“You underestimate my sword too much!”
The Emperor clearly sensed Happy’s intentions. His voice rang out from the void, tinged with slight pride and annoyance: “It’s just Dragon Form—unable to counter my move.”
Without the Emperor’s reminder, Happy had already realized while activating Dragon Form that this move targeting his locked-down ultimate technique indeed hadn’t worked. The feeling of being locked down still existed—now multiplied many times over!!
Sss!!
A sharp sword chant flashed like lightning toward the figure falling out of Dragon Form…
Seeing Happy’s body about to be pierced by his own sword, the Emperor couldn’t help but frown inwardly:
Had he overestimated Happy?
The Evil Emperor perished at Happy’s hands because he was too arrogant. Happy had analyzed this himself before; he never expected to make the same mistake so quickly.
As this thought flashed through the Emperor’s mind, he suddenly sensed a strong disturbance in spatial distortion on Happy’s body surface.
Happy’s body was pierced through…
The emptiness made the Emperor quickly realize what had happened!
Missed!
The sword missed its target.
Did the seemingly certain eleventh sword miss?! Before he could figure out what was happening, a gust of wind as powerful as his own strike suddenly tore through space and attacked from the side. Too close!! Only then did the Emperor realize that Happy had appeared somewhere above his left side. His gaze instinctively shifted there. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blurred figure of a leg approaching right in front of him! Bang! In the grand hall, the two figures separated mid-air. One of them plunged like a cannonball into the floor of the hall, creating a huge crater. “How is this possible…?” Although the Emperor managed to block some of the damage with his protective aura and save his life, many of his bones were shattered. It was now difficult for him to move even slightly; he struggled to stay upright, staring in disbelief at Happy, who also looked shocked: “You actually dodged it?” “Heh, luck.” “Luck?” The Emperor smiled bitterly. “The power of my sword, though far inferior to the Evil Emperor’s Void Shattering, has already surpassed the peak of mythic levels in terms of speed. Logically, no one in the entire martial world except the Evil Emperor should be able to dodge it…” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Happy’s face, refusing to miss any change in him. With this sword, he had fought many masters at the peak of the mythic realm, and none of them had succeeded against him. Even experts like the Dark Queen were forced to use their ultimate moves at the cost of severe injuries—moves even harder to dodge than the Evil Emperor’s Void Shattering. The Emperor was extremely frustrated. Although he hadn’t intended to defeat Happy with this move, it should at least have forced out some of Happy’s deadly life energy field to wear it down, creating an opportunity for the twelfth sword. That way, he would still have a chance. But the eleventh sword failed even to provoke his life energy field, and the twelfth sword’s power was even weaker than Void Shattering—making it impossible to defeat Happy, as that move also required a significant toll on the body. Unfortunately… He didn’t know that the Evil Emperor’s Void Shattering was a group-based ultimate move, while Dragon Tail could never have any effect! Worse still, his eleventh sword was a targeted attack. For Happy, whose spiritual perception was astonishingly sharp, it was easy to dodge perfectly by timing it right and even reflect the attack back at the opponent. And timing was no problem for Happy, who had extensive combat experience—facing both the true Unity with Heaven realm’s Evil King and the pseudo-Unity with Heaven realm’s Evil Emperor, his experience was even greater than the Emperor’s now.
It was for this reason that he suffered a great loss—the eleventh sword not only failed to achieve its intended purpose but also left the First Emperor half-dead! He temporarily lost the ability to continue fighting, forcing the battle to be suspended for now.
Happy laughed heartily: “Bad luck for you. The Dragon Tail move is highly effective against locked attacks, and you just happened to hit the perfect target…”
“…”
The First Emperor sighed helplessly, “Was this the same move you used to turn defeat into victory against the Evil Emperor?”
“That’s right,” Happy nodded.
During the confrontation at the Jinxiu Heishan headquarters, after a direct clash with the Evil Emperor, both sides suffered heavy losses, but his own condition was even worse. It was just enough for him to use the Dragon Tail move…
That time… it must have been an unforgettable experience for the Evil Emperor as well!
A miraculous comeback!
“You’re not bad either. I didn’t expect the eleventh sword to be a combination of a feint and a real attack. The power of the feint was already terrifying, requiring me to use Wind Filling the Sky to fully counter it, while the real attack was even more unpredictable… In the entire martial world, there are no more than ten people who can parry this move,” Happy exclaimed sincerely.
If it weren’t for the “True Dragon Ten Styles,” facing the First Emperor’s increasingly sophisticated “Thirteen Deadly Swords,” he would probably have to rely on his true energy field to cope!
“If the eleventh sword is already like this, I’m even more eager to see your twelfth sword…” Happy suddenly became battle-ready. “Recover well, and let me see your twelfth sword!”
“I’m injured now, my confidence is shaken… I’m not in the right state. Let’s wait a few days before continuing,” the First Emperor firmly refused Happy’s request.
“…”
Happy was speechless.
“How many days?”
This time, it was the First Emperor’s turn to be silent. The head of Jinxiu Heishan, the leader of millions, and the greatest martial artist in the Central Plains was now persisting like a child…
“Let’s talk about it after you reach the Wuwei Realm.”
As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, he saw Happy’s eyes light up. Realizing something suddenly, he didn’t give him a chance to speak and added, “By the way, we still haven’t decided how to deal with Meng Yun. The Xifeng Tower is currently busy controlling the cities south of the Yangtze River and regrouping. Meiying says she probably can’t help with this for now.”
“With my current internal energy, it will only take a day or two of training to reach 1,280 points and enter the Wuwei Realm…”
“…Alright, as you wish.”
Happy knew the First Emperor must be thinking about mastering the thirteenth sword, the ultimate move of the Thirteen Deadly Swords. So he didn’t point it out and said nothing more. After pondering for a few seconds, his expression turned serious:
“I plan to establish an organization.”
