Chapter 1265: Xu Yao Makes a Contribution

The Qin Demon Wind Chime—armies at the city’s gates!
Under the leadership of Wind Chime and nearly a thousand top experts, the heroes of the Central Plains used just ten thousand troops to break through the Persian forces of over a hundred thousand and advance straight toward the city.

In contrast, the forces led by Orochimaru, Windy Li, Mo Feng, and others were not progressing as smoothly!
Although Orochimaru and Mo Feng had slight advantages, it was extremely difficult to defeat all the top experts of the Wild Wolves Organization in such a short time, leaving them hundreds of meters behind.

Windy Li, who had received considerable favor from the Evil Emperor, was in a desperate situation!
Had it not been for his Mythical Realm cultivation and the ultimate skill “Changing the Stars,” he would have been killed several times by the Evil Emperor.

Of course!
Windy Li could hold on until now because the Evil Emperor was focusing most of his attention on Happy.
The two clashed fiercely in the air for thousands of rounds yet still couldn’t defeat each other!
The Evil Emperor was solely focused on pursuing Windy Li, seemingly unaware of what was happening with Wind Chime…

Until, in order to deal with Windy Li, the situation here took a delicate turn…
Things changed!
By then, Wind Chime had advanced to the rear, and the Evil Emperor suddenly appeared between Happy and Wind Chime. With a loud laugh, Happy sneered, “Master Happy, you’ve been tricked!!” Then, without hesitation, he flew backward, his laughter echoing as he said, “Once the Body of Nine Yin Severed Veins dies, I wonder how long your magnificent land can hold on!”

The Evil Emperor did not soften his laughter—it rolled like thunder, clearly heard throughout the battlefield and piercing everyone’s ears.
The heroes of the Central Plains felt a shock in their hearts. Looking up, they saw two figures streaking toward Shiva City, one after the other.

“Damn!”
Many panicked:
“Notify the Qin Demon! Get offline quickly!!”
“The Evil Emperor!”
“Too cunning!”

Those from Jinxiu Heshan and the Heroic Alliance knew how fragile the Body of Nine Yin Severed Veins was and shouted warnings.

But it was extremely difficult to disengage from battle on the battlefield, especially since Wind Chime was fully focused on the front lines, immersed in killing, and not even noticing movements hundreds of meters away at such a critical moment.
The Evil Emperor was too fast!
He flew through the air, covering dozens of meters in an instant, arriving above Wind Chime’s area within a blink.

“Form a formation!”
“Protect Wind Chime!!”
Xiaoyue thought something was wrong.
Even if they tried to disengage, their bodies wouldn’t leave immediately—colliding with the Evil Emperor’s attack was inevitable!
“Target: Evil Emperor!”

Xiaoyue had already felt a very badomen since Fengling started advancing frantically toward the city walls. Due to the angle and distance, it was easy to become the target of the Evil Emperor and die easily. But when his momentum was at its peak, not only was it difficult for him to stop, but Fengling had also said that the duration of the Nine-Turn Golden Needle Acupoint Puncture technique wasn’t long, making it hard to be awakened by external factors under such pressure.

Hearing the Evil Emperor’s blatant laughter, Xiaoyue knew the most dangerous moment had arrived—it was time for them to show their strength…

A command was given: “Go all out!”

Sharp arrows and sword energies were released by a group of top experts. Their momentum wasn’t much slower than that of the sound-blade rivers before, charging toward the Evil Emperor with murderous intent.

Facing the countless fierce attacks converging on him, the Evil Emperor sneered coldly, his face filled with mockery and disdain: “A bunch of ants.”

Silently, a huge vortex resembling a black hole suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the group’s attacks vanished like mud cows into the sea, causing not the slightest ripple before disappearing without a trace…

“Damn!”

Seeing this, Xiaoyue’s face turned pale instantly—this was the first time the Evil Emperor had used this move!

Clearly, he had hidden his strength during his fight with Kai Xin.

As the Evil Emperor closed in dozens of meters in an instant, Xiaoyue’s expression grew even darker. He lowered his voice and warned his comrades, “Even if we die, we must not let Fengling get hurt!”

Roar!!!

The group responded, gritting their teeth as they stared fiercely at the approaching Evil Emperor, ready to face death.

“Get out of the way, you annoying things!”

The Evil Emperor immediately saw that Xiaoyue and the others wanted to act as shields for Fengling. With a cold snort, without even lifting his eyelids, he waved his hand once—

Boom!

Without any warning, the group was swept away like by a rushing waterfall, torn off the ground and thrown in all directions.

“…”

Including Xiaoyue, they were all shaken by the Evil Emperor’s power, unable to gather their inner strength to get up for a long time.

“He’s too strong!”

“We’re no match for him at all!”

“Master! It’s up to you now!” Xiaoyue and the others struggled to look up at the lightning-fast white figure in the sky, still holding onto a glimmer of hope.

The only one unaffected was Fengling.

The moment she sensed the Evil Emperor’s bone-chilling murderous intent, most of her attention shifted immediately to locking onto the target. Rings of sound blades automatically surrounded her body, blocking the Evil Emperor’s attacks.

“Not bad.”

The Evil Emperor let out a soft exclamation; he finally realized that Wind Chime’s condition was unusual. With a glance, his eyes swept over the nine golden needles above her head, and he quickly understood what was going on.
“It’s the technique for unleashing potential.”
The Evil Emperor immediately lost his curiosity and interest. Since the power came from stimulating potential, such overwhelming force couldn’t last long, making it unnecessary for him to come all this way. But if it was Wind Chime…
The image of Bai Xiaosheng’s composed face, standing above the mundane world, appeared in the Evil Emperor’s mind, and a cruel smile curled on his lips!
Suffocating her body with the Nine Yin Severed Vessels still brought him some pleasure!
Feeling the pressure coming from Happy behind him, the Evil Emperor hesitated not for a moment. With a flip of his hand, he swung down at Wind Chime, who was now defenseless.
The Evil Emperor didn’t notice that less than fifty meters away from Wind Chime, a group of people were protecting another woman who was also playing the zither, staying low-key.
“Die!”
With the Evil Emperor’s cold shout, it seemed as if a thunderclap rang out in the sky…
The world suddenly darkened. A terrifying pressure, so fierce it made the world restless, condensed into a vast, dark giant hand that silently pressed toward Wind Chime.
At the moment the Evil Emperor unleashed his full power, the forces in the world, including the countless sound blades created by Wind Chime’s music, seemed to lose their strength.
Clang!!
Countless sound blades pierced into the black giant hand.
Seeing this, Happy’s expression turned extremely ugly…
A demonic hand!
This was the ultimate attack from the “Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa”—it was impossible to counter or resist, with an extremely overwhelming destructive power. It aimed to kill Wind Chime without giving her any chance!
Even Happy felt a chill rise in his throat at this sight.
Roar!!!
A dragon’s roar…
The Evil Emperor’s figure paused slightly—just for a moment—but the black giant hand continued its advance toward Wind Chime without stopping.
Crisis!
Wind Chime’s eyes, once filled with murderous intent, finally regained some clarity. Seeing the dark giant hand approaching, she quickly gripped the Heavenly Demon Zither and placed it on her knees…
Snap!!
Her hands pressed on the zither!
The music stopped abruptly!
Boom!!!!
A round, magnificent barrier of zither energy, like a huge jade disk, appeared two meters in front of Wind Chime…
But as soon as the black giant hand touched it, it seeped in like poison into ice, rapidly eroding most of it.
The zither energy technique taught by the Zither Sect’s master seemed unable to stop the Evil Emperor’s strike at all.

Upon seeing this, Wind Chime’s eyes first flashed with shock, followed by widened pupils. She released her hands from the strings, closed her eyes, and waited for liberation.
It’s over…
Five years!
It was enough to have managed to kill a large number of top experts from the Wild Wolf Organization in the end.
From now on, it’s up to you.
Just before closing her eyes completely, Wind Chime caught a glimpse of a joyful figure through the slits of her eyelids…
At the moment she fully closed her eyes, familiar musical notes rushed into her ears abruptly!
“!!!”
Wind Chime instantly opened her eyes!
…
Seeing her last resort utterly shattered by his overwhelming attack, Wind Chime herself resigned herself to closing her eyes and waiting for death. The Evil Emperor felt a sense of triumph, as if he had regained control of everything and won the battle.
The Evil Emperor thought to himself:
He had endured for too long just to wait for this moment…
He had sacrificed so many brothers from the Wild Wolf Organization!
One Wind Chime, one Nine Yin Cut-off Vein;
As long as he could win this battle, all those sacrifices would not be in vain.
Yet!
The sudden emergence of another melody made him slightly startled. His brows furrowed as he immediately spotted a graceful figure sitting cross-legged and playing the zither about fifty meters away.
In an instant!
Another, more perfect Zither Qi appeared in his spiritual perception…
The black giant hand was blocked again!
“…”
Boom!
With a loud noise, half of the black giant hand was shattered by the unleashed force.
The entire process happened in an instant.
Seeing his most proud attack blocked, the Evil Emperor’s brows twitched in disbelief.
Who was that woman?
His mind was filled with questions.
When had his attacks become able to be countered?
…
Xiao Yue and the others were even more surprised and delighted. They joyfully helped Wind Chime up and gave her a pill.
…
But sadly…
No one explained any of the questions. Nor was anyone willing to give him another chance to verify anything.
Happy was only an arrow’s distance away from the Evil Emperor. Moving at full speed, he had already reached above Wind Chime’s head, with no intention of giving him a second chance to attack.
Fighting wildly in all directions!
Space trembled slightly.
The damaged hand was instantly shattered completely, and the Evil Emperor was also sent flying backward ten meters before stopping.
Wind Chime’s crisis was temporarily averted.
But the Evil Emperor’s gaze turned icy:
“The one I want to kill, you can’t protect!” As he spoke, he slapped his hand downward.
Boom!!!
Happy didn’t even have time to react.

Xu Yao, along with the group of top experts who protected her, didn’t even get a chance to speak before being instantly killed by the Evil Emperor’s furious full-power palm strike.
After eliminating those who ruined his plans, the Evil Emperor’s icy gaze shifted back to Fengling, who was pale-faced below. “You know now that I’ve been hiding my strength all this time… From now on, I’ll take this seriously.”
Seeing this, Kai Xin felt the blood in his veins instantly boil!
An unknown flame began to burn silently!!
“Is that so?”
Cold words came out of Kai Xin’s mouth:
“Same here.”
