Chapter 1266: Seed of the Heart Demon

The Evil Emperor and Happy stood in midair. After expressing their innermost thoughts, their gazes collided in the air between them, sparking intense energy!
Without much eye contact or further words, both vanished from their positions at the same time!
Without needing to think, Happy knew the Evil Emperor’s target was the wind chime behind her…
An invisible force descended from the sky, quickly enveloping an area of a hundred meters around them. Happy and the others immediately felt a powerful oppressive force pressing down on them.
Needless to say, the Evil Emperor had once again unleashed his aura, but this time on a smaller scale, slowing down the movement of those within it and causing more severe leakage of internal energy—like a precursor to losing control.
Happy was fortunate!
With her willpower and her meridians tempered by the “Meridian Transformation Scripture,” she could withstand the effects of the aura.
Xiaoyue and the others, however, experienced disruptions in their protective energy, with unsteady steps and chaotic flow of internal energy.
The wind chime was even worse off.
The effects of the “Nine-Turn Golden Needle Acupoint Puncture Technique” had just faded, allowing her meridians to shrink slightly—only for them to overflow again immediately. Her breathing was irregular, her internal energy chaotic, her face red, her limbs weak—she needed two people to support her, and the effects of any medicine were ineffective for now.
The moment the Evil Emperor appeared, Happy also appeared simultaneously!
A huge black vortex formed in front of the Evil Emperor…
Quietly, Happy descended upon her blue python form, wrapping it around herself.
The Evil Emperor’s plan to break through using the heart vortex was instantly ruined…
Though he had never seen the power of the dragon coil, Happy’s calm and composed gaze made him hesitate.
But when he saw the wind chime being carried away by Xiaoyue and the others, he frowned and charged straight at Happy with the massive black vortex.
Something unexpected happened again…
Happy abandoned her previous tactic of attacking repeatedly and instead faced the Evil Emperor head-on without avoiding him.
In an instant, over a dozen palm strikes were delivered into the black vortex in front of the Evil Emperor!
In just one breath’s time, the black vortex shattered under Happy’s attacks…
“…”
The Evil Emperor was shocked!
But he quickly recovered.
The black vortex was indeed one of his hidden abilities, but since many of his abilities must have been analyzed by the All-Knowing Scholar, Happy must have been prepared…
Worse still, Happy’s strange palm techniques had astonishing speed and significant destructive power. With such rapid attacks, they could indeed break his “heart vortex”!
The “heart vortex,” which was invincible against top experts like Xiaoyue, posed no threat at all in front of Happy.
Yet the Evil Emperor had still achieved his goal!
Getting close!

Using the black vortex to draw the two closer, he unhesitatingly unleashed another hidden ability. His eyes snapped open! A cold, sword-like light shot into Happy’s body. His true energy field offered no resistance at all. Happy was shocked. The moment the heart sword pierced his body, he received a system notification: Ding! “The Evil Emperor used the ‘Heart Demon Sowing Technique’ to implant a heart demon seed in you!” “Duration: 30 minutes!” “If the person with the implanted heart demon seed is killed or escapes within 30 minutes, the seed will take root in their body, leaving an indelible shadow. Whenever they encounter someone who uses the ‘Heart Demon Sowing Technique’ in the future, their abilities will be reduced by 10%, and there’s a chance their attacks will fail.” “If they’re not killed or escape within 30 minutes, the Evil Emperor will suffer backlash from the heart demon seed, also leaving an indelible shadow. Whenever they see someone who failed to implant the seed, their abilities will be reduced by 10%, and there’s a chance their attacks will fail.” As the system notifications played, Happy fought against the Evil Emperor for over a hundred moves, completely focused… With Happy’s full efforts, the Evil Emperor couldn’t get any closer to Wind Bell, who was safely escorted back to the army by Xiao Yue and the others. When the system notifications stopped, Happy looked at the Evil Emperor with a puzzled smile: “A heart demon seed? Is that all you rely on this time?” The Evil Emperor smiled lightly, speaking casually, “Exactly. As long as I kill you within half an hour, your strength will be reduced by 10% whenever we fight again. Then I’ll plant another heart demon seed in you, ensuring you can never turn things around and will always be my underdog.” “Just you? Killing me in half an hour?” Happy found it amusing. The two had fought fiercely outside Shiva City for over forty minutes, and now both were back at their peak. It seemed absurd for the Evil Emperor to claim he could end the battle in half an hour. “You won’t be laughing soon enough,” the Evil Emperor said, looking at Happy with utter confidence. “Half an hour passes quickly. If you don’t hurry, it’ll be over in no time,” Happy said, smiling “kindly” to remind him. “By then, the backlash from the heart demon seed will make you regret it deeply.” These words also demonstrated his own immense confidence.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor’s confidence also swelled greatly. Hearing this, he revealed a mysterious smile and said, “With your current strength, you’ve been able to compete with me until now. Half of the credit goes to that Heavenly Crystal Divine Weapon in your hands. Am I wrong?”
“……”
Kai Xin looked down at the Heavenly Crystal in his hand, frowning slightly as he sensed something. He raised his eyes and said, “So what?”
“The power of your Heavenly Crystal Sword can only be activated for one hour a day.”
“……”
“You’re waiting for that hour to pass.”
“To be precise, the last fifteen minutes.” The Evil Emperor watched Kai Xin’s gradually fading smile and his smile grew even wider.
“……”
“With the seeds of a mental demon inside you, you can’t escape. By then, it will be easy for me to kill you.” These words revealed his ultimate intention.
“Oh?”
Kai Xin sneered, “Are you that sure that without the Heavenly Crystal Divine Weapon, I’m not your match?”
“Your palm techniques are quite good, but just with them, you’re no match for me.” The Evil Emperor spoke with certainty. After a pause, he suddenly raised his hands. “Do you know why I’ve waited until now?”
“……”
Kai Xin silently stared at the triumphant Evil Emperor, who seemed to think everything was already decided.
Since he didn’t get Kai Xin’s cooperation, his enthusiasm didn’t wane at all. Pointing at Shiva City behind him, he said, “I know you’ve been secretly in contact with many forces around the world. Not only in Thailand, Vietnam, Persia, Penglai, the Americas, and Russia, but you’ve also convinced many people to fight against my Wild Wolf Organization. The Imperial Guard you formed is meant to deal with me… So, to make these people realize who truly holds power in this world and to maintain order, I must use your head to show those in Shiva City who are connected to you just how I, the Evil Emperor, defeated you.”
“……”
Kai Xin remained unmoved.
But the Evil Emperor’s words, carried with great force, echoed across the battlefield like thunder. Many people took a deep breath after hearing them.
Xiao Yue, aware of the weakness of Kai Xin’s Heavenly Crystal Divine Weapon, frowned, sensing trouble.
The Evil Emperor’s triumphant declaration continued to reverberate over the battlefield: “Outside the city, there aren’t many spectators. Here, you’ll have many more witnesses to see your downfall and the destruction of this magnificent land.”
“Not bad speech.”
Kai Xin sneered, “Is your confidence built on all these corpses, or on your two defeats? Before I woke up, did anyone say you had delusions of grandeur?”

“I hope in fifteen minutes, you’ll still be standing here calmly in front of me.” The Evil Emperor sneered in return.
“If that’s the case, I’ll wait with you for fifteen minutes.”
As he spoke, Happy gazed into the distance. “But I doubt your men can hold out even fifteen minutes.”
Exactly!
Under the onslaught of Wind Chime, the warriors from the Central Plains had already reached the gates of Shiva City, forcing many Persian players to flee back into the city in disarray.
As the number of Wild Wolf Organization members decreased and pressure from all sides mounted, they were forced to retreat further into Shiva City.
Glancing at the chaotic situation outside the city, the Evil Emperor snorted coldly. “Once I deal with you, Wind Chime will surely die.” A fierce killing intent emanated from him as he spoke those words.
Still, the Evil Emperor had no intention of wasting time trying to defend Shiva City… For him, capturing Happy alone would mean victory in this battle! No one in the Central Plains could stop him anymore.
…
“Speed up! Take down Shiva City!”
Seeing that the Evil Emperor and Happy remained motionless, waiting for time to pass, Xiao Yue quickly reacted and gave orders.
After leaving the Evil Emperor’s side, the group had regained some of their strength. Wind Chime extravagantly used a drop of the Fire Qilin’s blood to eliminate the abnormal state caused by using the Nine-Turn Golden Needle technique, then joined forces with Orochimaru, Windy Lee, and Mo Feng to launch a second wave of fierce attacks.
Chaos reigned outside Shiva City—members of the Wild Wolf Organization barely dared to leave, while Persian forces retreated into the city even faster!
Still, in a short time, the Persians left behind tens of thousands of corpses…
“Continue!”
With nearly twenty thousand warriors left from the Central Plains, Xiao Yue glanced at the indifferent Evil Emperor and Happy and ordered everyone to storm the city without hesitation.
Even foreigners could participate in gang battles…
Seeing tens of thousands of warriors from the Central Plains charge into the city, heading straight for the largest Persian gang allied with the Wild Wolf Organization, the city erupted in excitement.
Cries in foreign accents rose one after another…
The crowd rushing toward the gang’s headquarters resembled long dragons, soaring over the strange domed buildings in a spectacular and exhilarating sight.
…
The Evil Emperor and Happy remained where they were, high above Shiva City.
The city walls were filled with experts from the Wild Wolf Organization and numerous Persian soldiers.
Compared to those Persian gang members, they had a much longer-term vision—they were more interested in seeing who would emerge victorious in the battle between the Evil Emperor and Happy.

All the members of the Wild Wolf Organization chose to stay, knowing that with masters like Wind Chime, Orochimaru, Lee, and Mo Feng at their side, the mere branch temple in Persia had no chance of standing firm and would be wiped out in no time.
In an instant…
The atmosphere around the walls of Shiva City became tense.
Countless people watched intently at the two figures locked in combat in the sky, holding their breath as they waited for each second to pass.
