Chapter 1258: Hidden Cards Each Side Holds

The Evil Emperor and Happy stood in the air!
Dark clouds covered the sky above, while battles raged below.
Hearing the violent cries and sounds of combat, the two paused briefly before shooting forward like arrows and colliding again.
Boom!!
A blinding light burst from the sky; then it vanished, leaving darkness so profound not even a trace of light remained.
After several such cycles, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows in the blink of an eye… yet neither could gain the upper hand.
One was the Evil Emperor, who had mastered the “Great Art of Planting Demons in the Heart” to perfection, possessing the strength of a true Heavenly Dao expert.
The other was Happy, whose physique was so robust that even Heavenly Dao masters found it hard to harm him. He had mastered the “Supreme Art of Ruling Heaven and Earth” to perfection, boasting immense internal energy, unwavering will, countless trump cards, and the aid of divine crystal weapons—his strength rivaling that of Heavenly Dao masters.
A hundred blows, two hundred blows passed!
The two grew increasingly aware of each other’s strengths, yet still found it hard to overpower the other…
The Evil Emperor frowned deeply.
At this point, it was clear that Happy’s overall strength surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly Dao masters.
But Happy was also extremely troubled.
Though he had gained some advantages thanks to the “Supreme Art of Ruling Heaven and Earth,” the “Great Art of Planting Demons in the Heart” allowed him to recover his internal energy continuously and rapidly—even faster than through the “Meridian Transformation Scripture” or the “Bone Purification Scripture.” He could seize opportunities to drain part of the opponent’s internal energy, recovering most of it in just a breath and returning to peak condition.
On the other hand, Happy himself needed advanced pills to prevent his realm from dropping below the Wuwei state…
This was all thanks to the perfection of the “Supreme Art of Ruling Heaven and Earth” and the Sword Essence Pill. If not for his internal energy reaching 2,000 points, a single set of his trump cards could have drained the opponent’s energy completely.
Unable to subdue the other, both grew nervous!
The Evil Emperor was nervous because he could see the battlefield below clearly from his advantageous position…
The losses on this side were clearly several times higher than those on the Central Plains side!
Although the Persian forces, along with top experts from the Wolf Pack Organization, had managed to disrupt the defenses of the Splendid Rivers and Mountains and the Heroic Alliance, the latter’s defensive tactics were extremely tenacious. Their top experts were repeatedly stalled and trapped. The Persian forces, being slightly weaker, struggled to advance, giving the Central Plains archer formations a chance to strike…
A massive barrage of arrows caused heavy casualties among the Persian forces!
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of soldiers were lost!
If the situation didn’t change, it would greatly impact the morale of the Persian forces.
The Evil Emperor was anxious.
Happy, too, couldn’t relax.

Under the influence of spiritual perception, they clearly identified one after another those “wild wolves” with figures as swift as lightning and movements as agile as ghosts among the crowd!
These individuals were different from other expert wild wolves—they did not act alone or in groups of three. Instead, they gathered in groups of a dozen or so, with nine of them arranged in a pyramid formation, advancing at an astonishing speed.
Needless to say!
The Great Restriction Spell!
The spell first appeared on the flanks. As soon as it was cast, pressure surged on both wings! With waves of overwhelming force rising from the flanks, the originally chaotic yet stagnant defense line seemed to be pierced by an awl, sinking deeply into a gap.
The top experts of the Wild Wolf Organization were different from ordinary players—they understood the importance of timing and opportunity. Once the moment arose, they led their forces forward without delay. Leading the charge, they overpowered hundreds of experts from the Jinxiu Heshan faction, carving a bloody path through them…
On the flanks!
Massive casualties began to appear.
Slight unrest arose among the crowd.
Seeing this, the Evil Emperor’s expression finally softened. With a flash, he subtly blocked Happy’s path:
“Happy Sect Leader… With our current status and strength, even more people below are no match for us. It’s not worth our intervention, right?”
“…”
Before Happy could respond, the Evil Emperor said with a smile, “Let those below fend for themselves. Otherwise, if both of us get involved, it would be boring if it ends up as a one-on-one fight.”
“Since the Evil Emperor has such an interest, Happy can accompany you… Let’s make a gentleman’s agreement: until one of us wins, neither of us shall interfere in the battle below! How about that?!”
Happy’s calm and resolute words stunned the Evil Emperor for a moment. But soon, he noticed bursts of screams and chaos coming from behind Shiva City…
A black sword aura, carrying an earth-shattering force, flashed down from the walls of Shiva City and struck the crowd behind the Wild Wolves! With an unstoppable momentum that seemed to tear through the heavens!
Boom!!!!
Both were shocked at the same time.
Looking ahead, the black sword aura was over a hundred meters long…
The Persian players it encountered immediately met their doom—they were annihilated into particles before even reaching the battlefield.
A faint smile appeared on Happy’s face.
Seeing this smile, the Evil Emperor sneered disdainfully:
“I forgot—there’s still your great general, Emperor Yi, in Shiva City… But don’t think that just one Emperor can change the fate of your Central Plains.”

“Do you really think that a mere Great Banishment Spell can determine the fate of my Central Plains?” Kai Xin refused to back down, countering fiercely.
The Evil Emperor smirked wickedly, casting a casual glance at the battlefield below before saying nothing more.
……
Boom!
The black sword energy appeared briefly in the rear before being intercepted by a force on par with that of the Heavenly Dao.
Without even looking, Kai Xin knew it must be the Evil Emperor—he had surely ordered someone to keep close watch on the Emperor, ensuring someone followed and restrained him no matter where he went. With the Evil Emperor’s personal arrangement, the Emperor would naturally not be able to interfere with the course of the battle.
On the other hand, the forces of Jinxiu Heishan did not let the Wild Wolf Organization’s men continue to wreak havoc with their Great Banishment Spell. Fengling, who had been covering her face with a human skin mask, arrived at a relatively forward position in the central area under the protection of Xiao Yue and others, and silently took action.
……
The battlefield in the sky was completely on a different level from that on the ground!
On the ground, the intensity of the fighting among hundreds of thousands of experts at the Wuwei realm was even greater than that of those two peerless warriors…
Clang!
Clang clang!!
The fierce battle masked Fengling’s music until her melodies turned into resounding, fierce sounds. Then, a magnificent river of sound blades appeared above the heads of countless people, amidst the hail of arrows, finally drawing the attention of both sides.
“The Music Demon!”
“Fengling!”
“It’s Fengling!!”
The forces of Jinxiu Heishan were the first to recognize the person playing the instrument from the river of sound blades. Cheers erupted, boosting their morale greatly!
Hundreds of sound blades continued to pour in.
When the enemy forces realized the music sweeping down upon them, their faces turned pale…
“No!”
“This is bad!”
“The Music Demon Fengling has arrived too!”
The Persian players weren’t very familiar with Fengling, but the Wild Wolf Organization knew of this figure from the Central Plains—after all, they had once spent some time undercover trying to assassinate her. They understood well what her presence in such a battlefield meant.
Boom!!!
The river of sound blades rushed forward with unstoppable force toward a group of top Wild Wolf experts.
Their faces were pale, but their movements remained swift.
The Great Banishment Spell!
Nine people working together!
Facing the countless sound blades rushing in like a reverse-flowing river, the leader let out a hysterical roar as he launched a fierce attack, sending a powerful palm wind charged with the strength of a Heavenly Dao warrior:
“Shatter them!!!”
Roar!!!
Boom!!!
Unstoppable!
A brief clash!

The force of heaven prevailed—its fierce and powerful palm wind destroyed nearly one-third of the volume of the River of Sound Blades in an instant…
The group hadn’t even had time to show joy.
The palm wind dissipated at an astonishing speed!
The group quickly regained their composure and pushed out their palms again.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they were, could they outpace the Sound Blades flying like arrows from a bow?
The subsequent Sound Blades remained spectacular and fierce, passing through the dissipating palm wind at an even faster speed and slamming into the chest of the lead Wild Wolf expert.
Ten…
Twenty…
Fifty!!
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Sound Blades rushed forward, slamming into the lead Wild Wolf expert’s body one after another.
The eight people behind him simultaneously spat out blood.
Clearly, even though the Great Banishment Spell could distribute the damage, enduring so many attacks from Sound Blades still caused significant harm to the nine of them.
Although Wind Chime couldn’t seriously injure all nine and break their formation at once, the River of Sound Blades completely halted the advance of this group of Wild Wolf experts.
The overly aggressive group found themselves surrounded by numerous experts from Jinxiu Heishan.
“Don’t give them a chance to unite!”
“Attack together!”
People around them shouted angrily and charged forward…
The group of Wild Wolf experts was utterly shocked.
The sudden appearance of the Qin Demon’s music disrupted their attack rhythm, and with the assault from those around them, their entire formation collapsed instantly.
With Wind Chime’s help, the first group using the Great Banishment Spell was successfully defeated by the Jinxiu Heishan forces, with all its members killed…
Wind Chime immediately turned to another group nearby!
Music played!
At this moment, many people finally noticed Wind Chime’s presence, including the Evil Emperor in the air.
Whoosh!
With a flash, she silently blocked in front of the Evil Emperor. With a single wave of her hand, a series of palm winds halted his advance, as she laughed loudly:
“The people below are fighting to the death—why should the Evil Emperor worry? Do you plan to break our gentlemanly agreement?”
“…”
The Evil Emperor frowned slightly, staring at Happy seriously:
“As expected of Happy—she always has a backup plan… But I didn’t expect Wind Chime, with her Nine Yin Life-Ending Pulse body, to be allowed to appear on such a battlefield by Bai Xiaosheng. Isn’t he afraid his precious disciple will die in a foreign land…”
Wind Chime’s appearance truly surprised him!
In the blink of an eye, he saw two groups using the Great Banishment Spell being utterly destroyed by Wind Chime, all dying at the hands of the Jinxiu Heishan disciples, which shook his mind slightly.

“As long as you don’t intervene, with the limited abilities of your subordinates, I doubt they can hurt Wind Chime.” Happy smiled slightly.
“……”
The Evil Emperor’s face turned dark, but he quickly regained his smile: “Don’t be too confident about everything.”
