Chapter 1263: Half an Hour, Golden Needles Piercing Acupoints

Shiva City.
As the battle below intensified, the casualty rate among the top fighters rose steadily, and the confrontation between the Evil Emperor and Happy gradually escalated.
Watching Wind Chime move constantly across the battlefield, using her musical tones to destroy waves of Wild Wolf Organization soldiers, the morale of the Splendid Rivers and Mountains faction soared. They took control of the entire front line and slowly advanced. The Evil Emperor grew more ruthless and fierce in his attacks.
When eleven groups of members of the Great Prohibition Spells were reduced to just the last two, the Evil Emperor finally changed tactics!
Boom!
A torrential wave of palm winds surged down from the sky, mercilessly crushing the battlefield below.
The fiercely fighting armies were instantly scattered. Those injured or with damaged protective barriers had their chests crushed, blood spraying everywhere, dying on the spot.
“Despicable!”
Most of the Evil Emperor’s palm winds targeted the troops of the Splendid Rivers and Mountains faction. Most of those affected were their disciples, with hundreds of skilled fighters killed in an instant.
Cries of shock and outrage rang out one after another!
The Evil Emperor did not stop. He continued to unleash his attacks, mercilessly killing more soldiers from the Splendid Rivers and Mountains faction while crushing their morale and momentum.
With a cold gaze, Happy quickly realized the purpose behind the Evil Emperor’s actions!
Clearly, the Evil Emperor saw that even the top fighters of the Wild Wolf Organization, combined with those from Persia, could not withstand the attacks of the two major factions from the Central Plains and were retreating step by step. Knowing that if things continued like this, their side would collapse entirely, he had to secretly intervene to help his troops resist the attacks of the Splendid Rivers and Mountains faction.
“This is troublesome.”
Happy frowned secretly.
With the heroes of the Central Plains advancing swiftly right below, it gave the Evil Emperor an easy chance to harm innocent people. Even if she attacked with all her might, she couldn’t stop his mass-killing techniques.
Worse still, she couldn’t divide her attention while fighting the Evil Emperor. The slightest distraction could allow him to take advantage and use his “Demonic Hand,” preventing her from accurately locating Xiao Yue to direct the battle.
“We can only rely on Xiao Yue.”
That thought flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, the troops below dispersed like a tide.
To the surprise of the Evil Emperor and Happy, the troops advancing in the Crane Wing formation suddenly split into two groups, like two sharp arrows. Under the leadership of Windy Li and Great Snake Man, with Wind Chime’s assistance, they plunged deep into the enemy ranks.
The once-stalled offensive instantly regained its strength, becoming even more fierce and unstoppable!
The Wild Wolf Organization and the forces from Persia collapsed even faster.
Brilliant!

Seeing this scene, Kai Xin couldn’t help but marvel inwardly with joy.
As for the Evil Emperor, he had intended to turn the tide of battle below with his own strength. Unbeknownst to him, the troops of Jinxiu Heshan and the Heroic Alliance suddenly split into two groups, launching simultaneous attacks hundreds of meters apart, thereby enhancing their offensive power. This not only shattered his plans but also made the entire battlefield below even more dangerous.
“Damn it!”
The Evil Emperor frowned tightly, cursing inwardly. But soon he regained his composure:
“Hmph! Since you’ve split up, I’ll destroy one of your groups. It’s a draw—now let’s see how you fight me!”
With a cold sneer, the Evil Emperor charged at the troops led by Orochimaru and Windy Li.
Yet what the Evil Emperor didn’t expect was that—just as he took action—Orochimaru and Windy Li split into two more groups, narrowing their target even further…
“Cunning!”
The Evil Emperor grew furious.
Kai Xin’s attacks couldn’t be ignored. While dealing with one formidable opponent, he could still use the aftereffects to harm the troops below. Naturally, the more enemies there were, the better. But now, with only a quarter of the troops attacking and many more of his own troops nearby, his mass slaughter tactics became useless. The Evil Emperor was now in a dilemma.
If he acted, the troops of Jinxiu Heshan would suffer losses, but the Wild Wolves Organization and the Persians would also take heavy blows. If he didn’t act, things would be even worse. With Jinxiu Heshan and the Heroic Alliance now in the lead, they could advance further and quickly crush the enemy’s morale, break through their defenses, and win. The Evil Emperor certainly didn’t want this to happen.
If Kai Xin led the expeditionary force to Persia and they were defeated despite having the advantage of location and timing, it would be a devastating blow to him.
…
All of this was naturally Xiao Yue’s plan. While the Evil Emperor was racking his brains to deal with Wind Chime, Xiao Yue had already thought of this and devised strategies based on the subtle changes in the battle situation. After making these adjustments, the Evil Emperor’s schemes failed, and this side regained the upper hand, holding complete control. Yet Xiao Yue continued to monitor the battle closely, issuing orders to the front lines one after another.
“Orochimaru, Windy Li—stop holding back. Charge forward with all your might to break through the enemy’s defenses and capture Shiva City within thirty minutes!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this news, Orochimaru, Windy Li, and Mo Feng were all shocked, as were all those who received the order.

After all, this was the Persian city of Shiva, Persian territory. How could Xiao Yue still plan to use the remaining less than 25,000 troops to defeat hundreds of thousands of Persian experts and all the top fighters from the Wild Wolf Organization? And that wasn’t all—they still wanted to attack Shiva City! A madman! Everyone thought Xiao Yue was insane. But Orochimaru and Lee had received Happy’s instructions and could only execute them meticulously. Still, those with doubts would ask questions. For example, Fengling, who was under Xiao Yue’s command, showed surprise upon hearing his orders: “Taking Shiva City in half an hour seems a bit overconfident. We don’t have many people; we can’t leave them all in Persia.” “Don’t worry,” Xiao Yue replied with a bitter smile. “Sister Fengling, this isn’t my idea. The sect leader gave instructions before we came, saying that if things stall outside Shiva City, the Evil Emperor will surely try to drain our 30,000 troops’ strength… We can’t afford to fight aattrition battle in Persia, so we must find a way to break the deadlock.” “Was attacking Shiva City also Happy’s idea?” “Yes.” Xiao Yue nodded. “The sect leader said that the Tianjing Divine Weapon can only exert its full power for a short time—just one hour…” “…I know that,” Fengling replied, nodding. The All-Knowing Man had mentioned it when he talked to her before. Now, Happy had a significant advantage in countering the Evil Emperor largely thanks to the Tianjing Divine Weapon, which far surpassed the finest divine weapons in the martial world. “You know that, and so does the Evil Emperor,” Xiao Yue explained gravely. “Once half an hour passes and the sword energy of the Tianjing Divine Weapon fades, its power will drop significantly. By then, we might not be able to deal with the Evil Emperor as easily as we can now.” “…” Hearing Xiao Yue’s explanation, Fengling’s expression became solemn, filled with shock. Happy was already giving it his all to fight the Evil Emperor, struggling to cope. Once half an hour passed and he lost part of his strength, it would be inevitable for him to be overwhelmed by the Evil Emperor. At this thought, Fengling’s expression grew even more serious. She took out a drop of blood-red fire qilin blood from her Qiankun Bag, her gaze flickering as if deep in thought. “Fengling?” “Hm?” “What are you daydreaming about?” Xiao Yue reminded her. “We’ve arrived. Hurry up and act. We need to advance quickly—we’ll still need time to enter the city and destroy the Persians later.” Hearing this, Fengling leaped several meters into the air to get a clear view of the situation ahead.

Just dozens of meters ahead was the front line of the fierce battle. At a glance, there were dozens of top experts from the Wild Wolf Organization among the crowd, desperately resisting the advance of the heroes from the Central Plains. Further away, even more experts from the Wild Wolf Organization were mixed in with the crowd; Feng Ling even saw members of the Wild Wolf Organization flying out of Shiva City in a conspicuous manner… If she wasn’t mistaken, those were the members of the Da Mi Jin Fa clan she had killed earlier! Shiva City was right at hand, and it wouldn’t take long for those people to fly out of the city after being revived. If this continued, relying on the Wild Wolf Organization’s strong foundation, they could hold out for a long time… Seeing this, Feng Ling suddenly felt a sharp increase in the pressure on her shoulders. Her hands, resting lightly on the strings, unconsciously slowed down. “What’s wrong?” Xiao Yue, keeping an eye on both the battlefield and Feng Ling’s unusual state, asked. Taking a deep breath, Feng Ling said, “Those dead people have come back. Continuing like this won’t work…” “So what can we do? We can only take it one step at a time. The Wild Wolf Organization has a strong foundation, with countless Life and Death Dream Pills stored…” At this point, Xiao Yue suddenly said, “But even for the Wild Wolf Organization, supplying Life and Death Dream Pills to two thousand people would be difficult—they couldn’t last many rounds.” “You make it sound easy. Two thousand top experts aren’t just two thousand cabbages—how easy is it to kill them?” Someone nearby rolled their eyes in skepticism. Xiao Yue fell silent immediately. That was true! Killing a single top expert required considerable effort and manpower, let alone killing two thousand of them one by one—it was a huge task. Ending the battle outside Shiva City in half an hour was nothing short of impossible. Just as Xiao Yue showed a helpless expression, Feng Ling suddenly said something that stunned everyone: “Killing these people might not be that hard.” Her tone was so arrogant it was hard to believe. “…Do you have a way?” Xiao Yue reacted fastest. After all, Feng Ling was a disciple of the Six-Fingered Qin Demon, possessed the Nine Yin Absolute Pulse body, and since he had happily brought her to this battlefield himself, he must have his reasons. Xiao Yue eagerly asked, “Do you have a way to defeat the Wild Wolf Organization in half an hour?” “I can give it a try.” Feng Ling didn’t answer right away. Instead, under everyone’s watchful eyes, she took out a bunch of golden needles from her Qiankun Bag… “What’s this!” The crowd was stunned on the spot. Soon, everyone’s mouths dropped in shock. Under their astonished gazes, Feng Ling quickly inserted nine golden needles into several acupoints on the top of her head… Boom!!!

The moment the nine golden needles were placed in position, Wind Chime’s long hair moved as if in a breeze, without any wind; a terrifyingly powerful aura surged from within her. It was the Nine-Revolution Golden Needle Acupoint Puncture Technique! Wind Chime’s potential was instantly unleashed, and an unprecedentedly strong energy swept across the entire battlefield… Soon after, resounding piano music began to play from the forefront of the Jinxiu River and Mountains army!! At that moment, even the Evil Emperor, who was engaged in fierce combat in the air, was stirred by this music, his blood boiling and his form becoming unstable. Whoosh! The Evil Emperor hurriedly retreated a hundred meters, his eyes filled with shock as he stared in disbelief at the source of the music.
