Sword Among Us Chapter 1254

“I asked to fight against you a few days ago because I wanted to settle the grudges between us, and I want to completely settle things between us. When have I ever said that I wanted to challenge you? You're someone who lost to me, what right do you have to have me challenge you?”

Happy's words were filled with strength, and he sounded so arrogant that his conceitedness was just as great as Evil Emperor's.

Before his voice faded away, Evil Emperor's eyes shone, and anger surged in his eyes.

Within a short period of time, he defeated someone who was One with the World, and it allowed his reputation to climb to the peak. In fact, it had surpassed Happy's, who had been dubbed the strongest player in the world.

Over this period of time, Evil Emperor had been so excited that he could not sleep just to be able to see Happy and kill him.

But he did not expect that Happy would not turn humble and careful after he learned that Evil Emperor had defeated someone who was One with the World easily. Instead, he was full of hostility, and he was even more conceited and confident than Evil Emperor was. His powerful presence did not lose to Evil Emperor's at all, and it clashed against Evil Emperor's in the air. He did not show any intention to back down.

These two kings would be competing with their strength in this battle.

But if he wanted to use his power to completely subjugate someone and kill him, then he would have to rely on how imposing he was, and how skilled he was.

Evil Emperor knew that if he wanted to completely subjugate and kill Happy, he had to perform well in front of the people. In fact, he had to put up a good show for it.

Hence, he had gone through a lot of effort to reach the top of the pay-to-view channel. He wanted to use his feat of defeating King Yaksha within a short time to give pressure to Happy!

As soon as Happy showed the slightest bit of caution and hesitation, Evil Emperor would no longer hesitate. He would just swing his hand and enter the Chinese plains.

But Happy did not react in the slightest since the first day.

This disappointed Evil Emperor as well.

His plan did not work.

He could not use his presence to subjugate Happy, so there was only one method left. He had to use absolute strength to kill Happy within a short amount of time. It was only by doing so that he could plant the seed that there was a huge disparity in strength between them in Happy!

Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art was a martial art that could allow the user to plant a seed of suggestion in his enemy's heart after they lost to the user. Then, no matter how loath they were to admit their defeat, the moment they stood facing each other again, that person would not be able to bring out their normal fighting power, and they were bound to lose!

Also, a smooth victory would also allow him to plant a seed in all the hearts of the martial artists in the world.

Happy's era would come and go in an instant.

Then, the whole world would fall into the control of the Wild Wolves once more.

This was also why Evil Emperor had been waiting quietly in Shiva Town for a few days to wait for Happy to arrive in the town with his army.

Evil Emperor's plan was greater than anyone else's.

He wanted to truly put an end to the fight forever.

He did not want a powerful enemy who could forever jump around in front of him and could threaten his position at any moment.

“Hmph! Today, I'd like to see just how long you can persist under Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art!”

Evil Emperor laughed coldly, and he started charging to the Chinese players again.

Boom!

The power of the dao of heaven appeared once more.

A black and profound black hole that looked like a vortex appeared behind Evil Emperor.

The Chinese players had their expressions change.

The thick pressure from before descended on them once more.

But it was different from last time. This time, the pressure was even greater and colder than before. It seemed to be even colder than the cold winds blowing at that top of a snow mountain. It chilled them to the bones and their hearts.

“ROAR!”

Just when the Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance members held their baths, a roar that caused their hearts to shudder came from the black hole behind Evil Emperor. It sounded like a demonic sound that came from hell.

Aside from Happy, the tens of thousands of people instantly felt dazed. It was as if their hearts had been struck by something.

Something from their hearts seemed to have been tugged out.

'How ruthless!'

A system notification arrived.

“Ding!

“You have been affected by the Thousand-changing Dao Aura. Your heart is currently affected, and you are not calm. Your control over your power has been affected. Your qi is surging out. No matter what martial arts you use, the qi you spend will increase by 10%! Your attack has increased by 10%! But your accuracy has been reduced by 20%!”

Happy too had received this system notification at the same time.

Many people felt their qis surge madly. It was as if there was a wave charging around in their bodies, and it was about to spill out.

Even Happy did not escape from it.

'Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art does live up to its name.'

But Happy never once moved. His expression did not change. He faced Evil Emperor as he charged forward, and he did not make a single sound. Then, he moved forward!

Whoosh!

Thousand-changing Dao Aura might be domineering and could increase the use of their qi by 10% out of the blue, due to Happy's body being strengthened by Tendon Changing Classic, the width of his meridian system was wider than a normal person. They were much stronger in terms of tenacity and everything else compared to the others.

Marrow Changing Classic could also reduce the use of his qi in everything by 20% at the first realm!

Hence, even if he had the use of his qi increase by 10%, to Happy, it did not affect him in the slightest. If he took in a breath, he could recover.

Besides, Happy had done his work regarding Evil Emperor's strength.

First of all, while the Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art Evil King practiced was incomplete, with Wandering Know-it-all's Universe Inkstone, it was not hard for him to gain information about Evil Emperor through Evil King.

Happy knew that the Thousand-changing Dao Aura was just an upgraded version of the user's aura after the user perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and the effect was also much stronger.

Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art was divided into four realms—Dao, Heart, Seed, and Demon.

Every time the user increased by one realm, his strength would climb up by another level.

Now, he had only activated the first realm of his Thousand-changing Dao Aura.

Even so, Evil Emperor's aura could already involve thousands of people ahead of them, and those within a circular area of one-third of a mile could tell just how shocking was the power in Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art.

In comparison, Empress Yin's Sky Demon Aura was just like child's play.

From this, Evil Emperor had still not activated the other three realms of his Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art yet. But from this, he could deduce just how great his power would be.

Happy might hope that Evil Emperor could affect his own people, but he did not want Evil Emperor's aura to affect Happy's forces.

Since he was already in the dao of heaven, a normal supreme-class elite would have a hard time trying to lock down on Evil Emperor. Besides, under the effect of the Thousand-changing Dao Aura, their accuracy would fall by twenty percent.

He charged at Evil Emperor without turning back.

In the distance, Happy could see Evil Emperor's lips gradually curl up to form a brutal, smug, and eager sneer. Happy narrowed his eyes a little.

Evil Emperor's strength had increased by leaps and bounds after he perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. His confidence had increased, and now, it was only normal that he would fly over fearlessly.

However, Happy had done ample preparation to fight against Evil Emperor.

During the battle in Beijing, his strength was not great enough that he could fight on equal grounds with Evil Emperor. At that time, he had ingeniously used his influence to provoke Evil Emperor. After he lured him out of the city, he killed Evil Emperor by using every single tool in his disposal, and he managed to get seven days of valuable breathing space. Then, he crushed the claws Class One Hall extended to him before he slowly overturned the situation where Class One Hall controlled the Chinese plains.

Now, right outside Shiva Town, Happy used the same tactic that he did last time.

He used his influence.

This time, he used the influence of him winning last time.

He used his position as the winner to look down on Evil Emperor, and he forced Evil Emperor to attack.

One, it was because Happy did not know the specific details of Shiva Town's current ruling sect.

Two, it was because of the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique. Even though the number of supreme-class elites they had were already enough for them to fight against the Wild Wolves, with the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique around, Happy still did not dare to underestimate them. Both sides stood opposite each other, and whosoever attacked first faced the risk of being seen through and having their weaknesses detected. Then, they would have their attacks neutralized first.

Just as he expected, Evil Emperor had his qi stutter because of Happy's provocative words, and he impatiently launched the first strike.

Clang!

A long, clear whine rose in the air.

At the moment he drew Heaven Crystal in the air, the black hole that caused their hearts to shudder was cut along with the world by sharp, aggressive slash.

Evil Emperor's attack with the power of the dao of heaven was instantly destroyed.

Then, the powerful and chilling wind that Evil Emperor delivered was cut in half by that one slash.

The Chinese players felt that their pressure had instantly disappeared. Then, they looked up, and they saw Happy's white, fluttering robes creating loud sounds.

With a swing of his white sword, Happy crashed into the black hole with an indomitable spirit, despite the fact that it seemed really aggressive and dangerous.

Everyone held their breaths.

“Die!”

In the distance, Evil Emperor clenched his fist without hesitation.

Boom!

The air in front of Happy was ravaged by the mind storm, and a part of it instantly shattered.

Then, a scene that shocked Evil Emperor appeared.

Boom!

The mind storm was easily and effortlessly cut by Happy's slash.

“Hmm?”

Evil Emperor was shocked!

Happy seemingly casual slash was infinitesimally close to the attack of someone in the dao of heaven, but Evil Emperor's mind storm was at least twice as strong as it usually was. After he mobilized the power of the world, he was even stronger than the usual person who was One with the World.

Happy did not do anything extra with that slash, but he still managed to get an upperhand. This caused Evil Emperor to be unable to help himself but be a little stunned.

Evil Emperor came to a stop. Happy remained in the air and tapped at the air without stopping.

His foot looked as if it had stepped on concrete ground. With slight force, hidden force pulsated, and an astonishing power burst out swiftly from him.

Whoosh!

He became one with his sword!

He charged forward at shocking speed, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Evil Emperor.

The entire process of him crushing the mind storm, releasing astonishing, explosive strength, and arriving in front of Evil Emperor with one slash was done in one breath.

Evil Emperor finally had a solemn look appear on his face.

Last time, he thought that once he had the power of the dao of heaven, he would definitely be able to suppress Happy, but now, the strength Happy displayed instantly shocked him.

His heart surged with emotion, and Evil Emperor's expression turned incredibly solemn.

His momentum came to a halt!

He grabbed the air with his hands.

Two mind storms were instantly formed in his hands.

They were like two small black holes to his sides, and they perfectly blocked Happy's path.

Boom!

Happy reacted even faster.

Wild Fights in All Directions!

Hourly Sword Technique!

He delivered two slashes in a row. Evil Emperor and Happy passed by each other.

At the moment they passed by each other, a dazzling, white light instantly shone in the air.

Even if Orochimaru, Green Lit Wooden Fish, and the others put all their qi into their eyes, they were still hurt by the dazzling white light, and they could not see what happened inside clearly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both people shot out backwards from the white light at an abnormal speed.

They stood in the air and displayed a situation that caused everyone to be in shock.

They had exchanged blows, but Evil Emperor remained uninjured. Meanwhile, a frightening tear had been left behind on Happy's white robe. It was at the chest area.

When he lowered the hand over his chest, they saw the black Heavenly Demon Armor underneath.

Many people sucked in sharp breaths. They even saw three clear white gashes on the armor.
