Chapter 1065: Bloodshed! The Court’s Fury!

Actually, ever since he reached the first level of the “Soul Purification Scripture,” Kai Xin had been pondering one thing!
At the Great Buddha Temple, he faced the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan alone. Had he not possessed a “True Vital Energy Field” and carried a considerable amount of “Fire Qilin Blood” (stolen from the Tianmo Faction’s warehouse), he would never have been able to hold out against the Evil King for so long.
But now…
The “Soul Purification Scripture” unlocked the energy of innate attributes, greatly enhancing his physical defense. Even the Evil Emperor, who was at the mid-stage of the Mythical Realm and could use the “Heart of the Dao, Seed of Demons” technique, was now utterly helpless against him. Faced with Shi Zhi Xuan again, he might be able to hold out even longer and perform even better.
Since the complete defeat of the Xifeng Tower and the loss of control over the entire capital and the Central Plains, Kai Xin had known he would always be in extreme danger—facing dual threats from the Wild Wolf Organization and that woman, Meng Yun.
So, he had already prepared for the worst.
It was also for this reason that he had to consider what would happen if he were forced to fight within the city one day and pursued by the court.
In the past, experts at the Mythical Realm could still pose some threat to him.
But now…
Even Kai Xin, at the peak of the Mythical Realm, was fully confident in his ability to defy death. Suddenly, he felt an urge to test the strength of the court—to see if they could send someone stronger than the Evil King Shi Zhi Xuan.
It was just a fleeting thought.
But the words spoken by the depressed Bai Xiaosheng in his residence made him consider putting this idea into action.
Of course!
If he was going to kill anyway, might as well do it on a grand scale!
That was Kai Xin’s style!
Killing one person makes you a murderer; killing tens of thousands makes you a hero!
He certainly didn’t want to end up fleeing in disarray after killing just one or two people, chased by the court’s forces…
So far, everything had gone as planned, just like in a script.
After the spies behind him passed the news to the higher-ups of the First-Class Hall, he stayed at the bank for a while. During that time, the number of guards at the Xifeng Tower’s headquarters tripled; several top experts who had participated in the attack on the headquarters also appeared among the crowd.
What pleased Kai Xin the most was that the annoying, effeminate swordsman seemed to say every word with the intent to provoke him.
Noticing the arrival of Yi Di and the others, Kai Xin didn’t delay any longer. Without hesitation, he lunged and severed the effeminate swordsman’s head. Then, with a swift strike, his sword’s glow intensified!

With an attack power approaching fifty thousand points, coupled with the overwhelming strength of the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, this innate attribute, once the first level of the “Soul Purification Scripture” was unlocked, far surpassed all the current masters in the martial world. Even if they tried to parry with their weapons, it was impossible to withstand such force. Among the crowd, a few quick-witted disciples of the First Rank Hall tried to defend themselves by activating protective barriers, but they were utterly crushed by an overwhelming force that drained all their energy. The sharp and steady sword blade swept through their bodies effortlessly.

Thud!!

One strike!

Dozens of people were flung backward into the crowd, most of them severed in mid-air, while those who survived never managed to get up again. This single strike terrified all the disciples of the First Rank Hall present!

Keep going!

With the killing intent unleashed, Happy rushed forward without pause, using his Light Step to head straight for the thickest part of the crowd!

System alerts, warning him that he was wanted by the imperial court and targeted by skilled officials from the capital, kept ringing in his ears:

“Warning!”
“You killed the unarmed player ‘Luo Xia’ in a safe area of the capital… This has been recorded by the Six Gates, who have sent Golden Blade Enforcers!”
“You killed multiple unarmed players in a safe area of the capital… This has attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei. You have been labeled a criminal, and the Jinyiwei has sent the Fish-Dragon Guards ‘Zhu Que’ to arrest you!”
“You killed over ten unarmed players in a safe area of the capital! The crime is severe! Everything you possess will be confiscated by the court after your death… You will be imprisoned in the heavenly prison for a month!”
“You killed over twenty unarmed players in a safe area of the capital! Your crimes are extreme!! Unforgivable!!! The second-in-command of the Eastern Depot is personally leading the hunt to arrest you!”
“You killed over fifty unarmed players in a safe area of the capital! Your crimes are monstrous! This has enraged the imperial court! The second-in-command of the Western Depot, ‘Yu Jintian’, is taking action to capture you and report your capture to the emperor!”

More system alerts continued to appear as Happy kept charging forward, each one more severe than the last. He simply disabled the alerts to focus entirely on his mission.

At first, Happy was worried that the people of the First Rank Hall, terrified by his attacks, would scatter in all directions… But to his surprise, they seemed more determined to capture the greatest master of the Central Plains and send him to the capital’s prison. They rushed at him recklessly, one after another, willingly handing themselves over, saving him a lot of effort.

There’s no need to chase after crowded places later on—where he is is already the most crowded and dense area.
In the blink of an eye, crimson, scorching blood splashed across the ruins of the Xifeng Tower’s main hall!
Whoosh!!
Seeing that Yipin Hall seemed determined to stay in the capital at all costs, with people surrounding it from all sides almost forming a human wall to trap it, Happy drew his sword and shouted. Wind Filling the Sky was activated, sweeping through thousands of enemies in one move!
The circular sword light spread out with terrifying force!
Death was imminent!
Many people felt extreme fear and chill the moment the sharp sword light approached them, and they tried to dodge.
But with so many people packed around, where could they escape?
The first wave of sword light swept through!
Dozens of people didn’t even get a chance to grunt before their bodies were torn apart and flew everywhere…
And that wasn’t all!
The second and third attacks of Wind Filling the Sky followed!
Those who had surrounded them from behind hadn’t yet recovered from the gruesome scenes ahead when another overwhelming wave of sword light swept by.
First layer!
Second layer!
Third layer!!
Three circles of corpses…
More than two hundred people’s broken bodies fell everywhere around Happy, scattered across the ruins.
In an instant, the entire site of the Xifeng Tower’s main hall turned into a slaughterhouse!
It was only at this moment that the people of Yipin Hall realized they had misjudged Happy’s strength.
In less than half a minute, countless of their brothers had already fallen at Happy’s hands!
Judging from the piles of corpses, at least five hundred people had perished…
But since only half a minute had passed, retreating now seemed like a waste of effort.
The people of Yipin Hall were stuck, unable to go either way. Happy, however, paid them no attention. After using Wind Filling the Sky, he immediately activated Light Step, threw a high-grade pill into his mouth, and let it turn into a warm flow to replenish the nearly a hundred points of internal energy consumed earlier.
“Let’s go!”
……
On the rooftops, Wu Kuo and the others had gradually shifted from initial sorrow and anxiety to shock and resentment.
Watching Happy mercilessly slaughter the members of Yipin Hall in the ruins of the Xifeng Tower’s main hall felt quite satisfying.
The frustration of the day seemed to dissipate with this stunning moment.
“Brother Happy!”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “Finish it quickly! Leave as soon as we deal with this group—the imperial experts should arrive soon!!” The crowd’s cries made the people of Yipin Tang nervous, thinking that the people from Xifeng Tower were preparing to rescue Happy, so they involuntarily surrounded them again.

Yi Di’s gaze was deep, his eyes closely following Happy’s movements as he murmured to himself, “Although the sword technique is slow, its lethality is no less than the later moves of my Thirteen Death Swords… It must be that weapon restricting the speed. By giving up speed entirely and using sheer lethality to overwhelm the enemy, this approach is indeed effective in group battles.”

“Yi Di, should we prepare and plan an exit route to cover Happy’s escape from the capital?” Wu Kuo stepped closer to Yi Di, his tone filled with excitement.

Yi Di didn’t even turn around, his voice calm: “He won’t leave.”

“…”

Wu Kuo and the others behind him were stunned. “Why?”

“We came here at Bai Xiaosheng’s request to help Happy rescue Feng Ling…” Yi Di told Wu Kuo and the others the purpose of their mission without even using telepathy.

Everyone gasped. They were well aware of Feng Ling’s identity and her importance to Bai Xiaosheng, but…

“Under these circumstances, success is impossible!” Wu Kuo said rationally after taking a breath. “Happy is already in danger, and with so many people from Yipin Tang here, it’s impossible for us to get her out.”

“Not necessarily.”

Yi Di’s expression was eerily calm as he said indifferently, “This time, it was Happy who came up with the plan and suggestions. Happy isn’t reckless. He’s doing this with a purpose… though I’m not sure either…” He paused before continuing, “Let’s keep watching. This time, it won’t be the imperial court that stops Happy—it will be the Evil Emperor… As long as the Evil Emperor and Yipin Tang’s top experts don’t arrive, we still have a chance to save Feng Ling…”

“…”

Wu Kuo and the others exchanged glances, gasping in shock. They could easily understand the underlying meaning in Yi Di’s words. If the imperial court couldn’t stop Happy, did that mean he never cared about being wanted by them in the first place…

As a wonderful misunderstanding unfolded, time passed slowly. In less than half a minute, Yipin Tang lost another group of people. With the use of the second technique, Wind Filling the Sky, over a hundred people were killed! Of the more than four thousand people who had arrived at Yipin Tang, over two thousand were lost…

Seeing that Xikai still showed no sign of leaving, and with the ruins turned into a slaughterhouse filled with corpses and blood, everyone gradually became hesitant, their shouts no longer as fervent as before.
“Damn it!”
“Why haven’t the people from the two factories arrived yet?”
“Those bastards from the Jinyiwei—they’re all dead!”
The people of Yipin Tang never wished more than at this moment to see the imperial enforcers arrive sooner.
