Chapter 1056 : Absolute Counter
At Class One Hall’s headquarters, as Evil Emperor and Happy officially started fighting each other, the discussions around them gradually faded away. Everyone held their breaths. Only the sounds of stones being crushed and grave howls as well as sonic booms could be heard in the area.
They had not exchanged a lot of blows, but their speed was astonishing, and their frequency was high. The momentum in their attacks also caused people to be filled with fear.
It was especially so for the attack just now.
Once Evil Emperor had a mental pressure that caused their hearts to tremble in fear rise from him, the ground under Happy’s feet suddenly exploded, and for some strange reason, he staggered backward. Then, the ground around him seemed to be swiftly cut by invisible sword qis. All of the tiles exploded!
All this tugged at their hearts.
Dao Heart Demonic Seed!
Everyone knew that Evil Emperor must have used a terrifying killing move, which was why Happy, who had given a sturdy and powerful image all this while, would show such a clear opening and weakness.
But fortunately, Evil Emperor’s attacks did not seem to have broken Happy’s defense, and Happy’s counterattack also went straight at his face at lightning speed.
Whoosh!
The sound of the air being torn contained an amazing note.
Evil Emperor’s expression changed.
His powerful mental strength allowed him to sense a threat that he only ever experienced from One Emperor.
Almost instinctively, Evil Emperor moved backward like an illusion. He moved irregularly a few times, and he instantly moved three times. The first time, he moved sixteen feet away. The second time, he moved thirty-two feet away, and the third time, he moved sixty-five feet away.
“Leaving?”
Evil Emperor’s lightness skill was extraordinary when it came to moving around, but Happy had his Wave-like Subtle Skill, and he obtained the initiative to attack. His spiritual senses had been locked on Evil Emperor’s movement trajectory all this while, and he never let Evil Emperor escape from his attack area.
Their figures turned into unimaginable afterimages.
Boom!
The ground sixteen feet to the left of where they originally were was crushed by Evil Emperor. Countless stones were instantly turned into a round shield that was half a foot thick.
At the moment the shield was formed, it was easily cut apart like tofu.
Evil Emperor’s expression changed quickly.
Then, when he moved thirty-two feet to the right of where he was, he still felt the remaining force from that slash charging at him. The threatening feeling it gave to him was still as strong as ever.
He did not remain idle and quickly clenched his fists.
Dao Heart!
Evil Emperor attacked at a fearsome speed. With just one thought, two strange black vortices were formed at his fists. They appeared in front of him, and they blocked the other two powerful sword glares contained in the slash.
The remaining force in the first slash was completely negated.
At that moment, Evil Emperor came to an astonishing conclusion toward Happy’s attack.
‘Damage at the middle stage of Myth Realm?!
‘Impossible! Something’s wrong!’
Before Dao Heart’s vortices vanished, two even more powerful forces practically crashed into Evil Emperor’s two lightning fast palm strikes.
Boom!
Only a handful of elites watching in the crowd were observant enough to notice that the black Dao Heart vortices in Evil Emperor’s hands had instantly dissolved. Four astonishing presences crashed violently into each other.
Bang!
They fought at thirty-two feet to the right of where they originally were. A circular area of thirty-two feet was instantly affected by an invisible impact at that center of the spot where they clashed fists.
A part of the ground sank down.
Many people’s gazes moved to the spot sixty-five feet away from where they originally were!
Bang!
Both grunted at the same time and split up.
The greatest characteristic in high-speed movement while fighting to the death was that the remaining force in a person’s attacks would be fully displayed.
The great explosive force in Full Winds in Long Skies was brought to full light.
Even if Evil Emperor used a series of extremely powerful defensive measures, he still did not manage to completely negate the damage in Happy’s slash. He was forced more than thirty feet back before he stopped.
But Evil Emperor was not an easy person to deal with. Even though his mental pressure was not effective, he could still use Demonic Seed to force Happy away after he used Dao Heart.
Happy felt a pressure on his chest, and his vision darkened a little. He was then forced back by an even more powerful mental force, and once he regained his footing, he had a solemn expression appear on his face.
His true origin aura was unable to negate this mental force!
Fortunately, his Willpower was high enough, and his physical body was sturdy enough, which was why the damage he took was not high. He only felt a pressure against his chest.
Happy and Evil Emperor separated from each other again.
This time, the onlookers could clearly sense that both people fought to a tie, and many people were dumbfounded.
Evil Emperor was forced back by Happy.
The Class One Hall members hidden in the crowd gulped laboriously, and they did not dare believe what they saw.
“Could it be... that Happy’s strength is already great enough that he can fight equally with Evil Emperor?!”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“It’s still too early to make a judgment. They haven’t exchanged a lot of blows yet. Happy’s strength is seriously weird, but once Evil Emperor understands his attacks clearly, he will die.”
*****
Evil Emperor stared at Happy with burning eyes, and he spoke slowly once more, “Looks like I still underestimated you. You have extraordinary lightness skill, your body fortification has surpassed the defenses offered by Inaction Realm body fortifications, and you have extraordinary Willpower. you have actually managed to last until now and still not be suppressed by me. Your strength has indeed become much greater than when you were at Wind Assault Tower headquarters. Looks like this is the surprise you intended to give me.”
Happy replied to Evil Emperor’s grave words with calm but mocking words. “I’m just trying to tell you that you’re not strong enough to defeat everyone in one fell swoop and control everything.”
“Perhaps.” Evil Emperor smiled coldly and mockingly. “But unfortunately, even if your strength has increased, you still don’t have the chance to defeat me. Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art has given me mental strength, and it can increase thirty percent of my defense and attack. Even if I use my palms, I can easily block the move you used just now, and if my guess is correct, not only does that skill just now use up a lot of your qi, you can’t use it repeatedly either.”
Happy said nothing, but his expression changed slightly.
He had been trying with everything he had to hide the secret within Full Winds in Long Skies, but he did not expect that Evil Emperor would still notice it.
And Evil Emperor was still correct.
The strongest player at Inaction Realm was indeed very powerful. Even though it might seem as Happy had gained an advantage in the attack just now, using an attack attached with Full Winds in Long Skies was already the maximum damage he could deliver, and he can only use it once every half a minute. Even so, it had been easily blocked by Evil Emperor. He did not manage to deal any substantial damage on him.
However, if Happy’s momentum was crushed up now when the fight had been progressing to this point, he would lose even faster!
Happy’s tone changed, and he laughed loudly while he said, “Mister Evil Emperor, may I interpret your words as you not knowing how to deal with me?”
“You’ll know once we try.” Evil Emperor smiled in a savage manner. He vanished from the spot, and quiet howls from waves swiftly rose in the air.
‘He has become serious!’
Evil Emperor finally decided to shed away his arrogant attitude once Happy displayed his strength, and he attacked at full strength.
Three illusions and layers of fist shadows went to envelop Happy like a huge wave.
Each punch was filled with a suffocating sea breeze.
Sea King’s Wave Breaking Fist was the offensive martial art that was Evil Emperor’s greatest pride. With Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, its power could catch up to a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm.
Also, the greatest advantages in fist techniques laid in their speed, flexibility, and versatility!
Happy held Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. In fewer than two moves before Evil Emperor, it became clear that his attack speed was inferior, and his disadvantage was instantly shone.
When he faced Evil Emperor’s tight offense coming at him from all directions, Happy no longer dared to be distracted and look at other things. He focused his full attention at parrying his attacks while carefully paying attention to the hidden forces and mental pressure that might come at him at any moment.
At that moment, Evil Emperor’s strength was finally shown fully.
An offense that was like a tidal wave struck like endlessly, and even if Happy’s physical constitution had become much better, he could not help but frown at that moment. He sensed that his true origin aura was shrinking bit by bit from these attacks coming at him at a high frequency.
In the beginning, it was about three feet wide, but in less than half a minute, he had already been struck at least forty times by palm-generated wind, and his true origin aura had shrunk by nearly one-third, and this number was considered little, because Happy had used his advantage in moving around with his lightness skill and Recondite Steel Heavy Sword to avoid or parry a lot of his attacks.
‘I knew it... the distance between us is still very great.’ While Happy laboriously blocked Evil Emperor’s attacks, he lamented in his heart.
Even though Happy had Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, which were the two Shaolin Temple supreme classics, the great advantage in Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art still could not be destroyed. Besides, Evil Emperor had the advantage of having an entire qi realm over Happy. While Happy felt gloomy of being suppressed like this, he was not surprised by it. The disadvantage of not playing the game for one and a half years was not that easy to overcome.
Besides, Evil Emperor was a super powerful player whose strength did not lose to One Emperor!
However, Happy did not intend to let Evil Emperor continue suppressing him like this.
His goal in fighting against Evil Emperor was to crush the fear of the Chinese players toward Evil Emperor and get rid of the trauma all of them had—that no one could fight against Evil Emperor and stop him.
Wave-like Subtle Steps! Petite Dragon!
He activated two great techniques at the same time, and even Evil Emperor felt as if he had instantly lost track of Happy.
Happy seized this fleeting chance and unhesitatingly activated Dragon Swings Its Tail!
His speed became even more unfathomable.
Evil Emperor’s pupils shrank swiftly, but he said nothing.
He did not expect that even when he was fighting at full strength, Happy would still seize a chance to attack and have the courage to counterattack!
The murderous intent in Evil Emperor’s heart immediately became stronger and firmer.
This was a person who had laid in bed for one and a half years in a coma, and he had managed to reach a stage where he could threaten him so soon. If he could not kill Happy within a short period of time and suppress him, a powerful enemy he could not ignore might appear in the Chinese server!
To Evil Emperor, whose desire to control others was incredibly strong, and this was something he absolutely did not want to see.
Dao Heart!
When he faced Happy’s Dragon Swings Its Tail, Evil Emperor flung a mental attack without hesitation, but he did not forget that Happy had Full Winds in Long Skies, and hence, he cautiously set up a mental defense in front of him.
He moved backward and attacked remotely!
But what made Evil Emperor incredibly gloomy was that Happy had cunningly not activated that attack at that moment. Instead, at the same time he used Recondite Steel Heavy Sword to parry two palm-generated wind from Evil Emperor, he quickly popped two medicinal pills into his mouth at an angle that was difficult for others to notice.
When he saw this scene, Evil Emperor quickly understood Happy’s intentions, and anger burned in his eyes. His killing intent became even stronger. Happy had actually used the time he spent avoiding Full Winds in Long Skies to use medicinal pills to recover the qi he lost.
Once he used two high-grade medicinal pills to replenish his qi, his true origin aura slowly swelled up visibly, and when Happy faced Evil Emperor’s cold glare, he smiled faintly, “Let’s continue.”
