Sword Among Us

Chapter 1262: Half an Hour, Have Golden Needles Pierce Her Acupressure Points

As the battle on the ground in Shiva Town became even more heated and more supreme-class elites died, Evil Emperor and Happy’s fight also gradually grew heated.

Wind Chimes moved nonstop in the battlefield to use her zither sounds to destroy groups of Wild Wolves. Lovely Land’s morale increased by leaps and bounds because of it. They gained a complete advantage at the frontlines and started pushing forward slowly. When Evil Emperor saw this, his attacks became more vicious and fiercer.

They originally had eleven Forbidden Daiya Technique formations, but now, they were destroyed until there were only two left. Then, Evil Emperor changed his strategy!

Boom!

Waves of gusts charged to the battlefield on the ground fearlessly.

The people who were fighting fiercely on the ground were instantly sent scattering. Some of them were injured and had their body fortifications destroyed. These people were crushed by the gusts and had their chests torn. Blood flew in the air, and they died on the spot.

“How despicable!”

Most of Evil Emperor’s gusts landed among the Lovely Land members. The people who were hit were mostly Lovely Land members, and in an instant, they lost more than one hundred members.

Surprised and enraged shouts rose and fell.

Evil Emperor never stopped attacking. He continued flinging his attacks to the battlefield on the ground and killed Lovely Land members in a frenzy. At the same time, he whittled down Lovely Land’s morale and their aggressive charge.

Happy’s eyes turned cold. He quickly noticed the meaning behind Evil Emperor’s actions.

It was clear that Evil Emperor saw that the elite Wild Wolves were unable to hold back the two Chinese sects’ offense even after they started working with the Persians. When he saw that they started retreating, he knew that if he let this continue, his army would definitely lose. That was why he had to attack in secret to help the people on the ground block Lovely Land’s offense.

‘This is troublesome.’ Happy frowned.

Right now, the Chinese players had advanced effortlessly until they were right below the two people in the air, which let Evil Emperor easily turn them into collateral damage as he fought Happy. Even if Happy attacked at full force, he would not be able to stop Evil Emperor from launching AOEs.

But he could not multitask either when he fought against Evil Emperor. If he were the slightest bit careless, Evil Emperor might take advantage of him and use Demon Hand. He looked around, but could not figure out where Howling Moon was giving his commands.

‘I’ll have to rely on Howling Moon now.’ Right when this thought flashed in his mind, the people underneath suddenly spread out like a wave.

Under Evil Emperor and Happy’s surprised gazes, the group who had been pushing forward in the crane’s wing formation suddenly split into two groups. Aided by Wind Chimes, they stabbed into the enemies like two sharp arrows, with one arrow led by Whirlwind Young Li and Orochimaru.

Their offense had originally been blocked, but in an instant, they had their glory restored, and their offense became even greater than before. They could not be stopped!

The Wild Wolves and Persians started crumbling even faster.

‘Beautiful!’

When he saw this, Happy could not help but praise Howling Moon.

As for Evil Emperor, he had wanted to use his strength to change the situation, but he did not expect that the Lovely Land members and Chivalry Alliance members would suddenly split into two forces who would attack in two waves while remaining hundreds of feet apart. This had even increased their damage while they advanced. Not only did they manage to crush his plans, they had even turned the battlefield on the ground even more dangerous for his army.

‘Bastards!’ Evil Emperor scowled and cussed in his heart. But he quickly calmed down.

‘Hmph! Since you split up, I’ll destroy one of your groups. The losses we suffer will be the same! I’d like to see how you’ll fight against me like that!’

With a cold snort, Evil Emperor pounced to the group led by Orochimaru and Whirlwind Young Li.

But to Evil Emperor’s surprise, when he did this, Orochimaru and Whirlwind Young Li split into two groups, further reducing the size of Evil Emperor’s target.

‘How cunning!’ Anger burned in Evil Emperor’s heart.

He could not ignore Happy’s attacks either. While he withstood his enemy’s attacks, he had to use the remaining force in his attacks to injure the people underneath. Naturally, it would be better if he went to a place with more enemies.

But now, his target had been reduced to one quarter of its original size, and there were a lot of his own men around them.

This adjustment instantly caused Evil Emperor’s AOE to be worthless.

Evil Emperor was now caught in a difficult position. If he attacked, while the Lovely Land members would definitely be injured and killed, the Wild Wolves and Persians would also be injured quite severely.

But if he did not attack, it would be even worse.

Right now, Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance had the advantage. If they advanced further, they would soon completely destroy his army’s momentum. Then, they would pierce through them and obtain victory.

No matter what, Evil Emperor did not want that situation to happen.

Happy brought his army to fight in Persia. Evil Emperor was supposed to have all elements in his favor. If he lost in this situation, it would deal a heavy blow on him.

But all of this was naturally Howling Moon’s plan.

While Evil Emperor was thinking about everything he could to fight against Wind Chimes, Howling Moon thought of this plan, and based on the slight changes in the battlefield, he thought of a way to deal with Evil Emperor.

Right now, after the adjustments to their formation, Evil Emperor’s plan failed, and the Chinese army regained the upper hand and had full advantage in the battlefield. But Howling Moon never stopped manipulating the battlefield. He continued sending orders to the frontlines.

“Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, stop trying to preserve your strength. With everything you have, pierce through the enemy’s defense line and try to enter Shiva Town in thirty minutes!”

“What?”

When they received this news, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, and Wind Void were all stunned. In fact, all the people who heard this order were shocked.

No matter what, this was Shiva Town, a place in Persia. Yet Howling Moon wanted to use their people to kill hundreds of thousands of Persians and all the elite Wild Wolves? When they only had fewer than twenty-five thousand people left?

That was not all, he even wanted to push into Shiva Town!

‘He’s mad!’ Everyone thought that Howling Moon had gone mad.

But Orochimaru and Whirlwind Young Li had already received Happy’s orders, and they could carry out Howling Moon’s orders perfectly.

However, those with questions still asked for answers, such as Wind Chimes, who was protected by Howling Moon’s people nearby.

When she heard Howling Moon’s orders, she was puzzled. “Aren’t you being a little too careless by asking them to take down Shiva Town in half an hour? We don’t have a lot of people left. We can’t have all of them die in Persia.”

When Howling Moon heard this, he smiled wanly. “Don’t worry, Big Sis Wind Chimes. This isn’t my plan. Before we came here, the sect master has already told me that if the battle outside Shiva Town descends into a stalemate, Evil Emperor will definitely think of a way to whittle down the thirty thousand people we have on our side. The Persians can engage in a war of attrition, but we can’t. That’s why I have to think of a way to break this stalemate.”

“And charging into Shiva Town is Happy’s idea?”

“Yes.” Howling Moon nodded. “The sect master said that Heaven Crystal can only bring out its full power for a very short amount of time. That effect only lasts for one hour...”

“...I know about that.” Wind Chimes nodded. Wandering Know-it-all had told her about it before.

Right now, one of the major reasons behind why Happy had the strength to fight against Evil Emperor was because Heaven Crystal had largely surpassed the supreme-grade divine weapons in the game right now.

“If you know this, Evil Emperor must know this as well,” Howling Moon explained gravely, “Once that half an hour passes, Heaven Crystal will lose its effect, and its power will be decreased by a large degree. At that time, we might not be able to fight against Evil Emperor so easily as we are doing right now.”

When she heard Howling Moon’s explanation, Wind Chimes’ expression instantly turned stern, and she looked surprised.

Happy was already fighting at full strength against Evil Emperor, and he was having quite a hard time. After half an hour passed, he would lose part of his power, and he was bound to be suppressed by Evil Emperor.

Once she thought of this, Wind Chimes’ expression immediately became much graver.

She brought out a drop of Fire Qilin Blood from her Universe Bag. Her eyes sparkled. No one knew what she was thinking about.

“Wind Chimes?”

“Yeah?”

“What are you daydreaming about?” Howling Moon gave her a reminder. “We’re here. Hurry up and attack so that we can advance. Later on, we have to spend time to enter the town and destroy Persia.”

Once she heard this, Wind Chimes jumped several feet into the air and saw the situation in front of her.

She saw the frontlines, which was dozens of feet away from her. There was a fierce fight over there. When she looked at the crowd over there, she found dozens of elite Wild Wolves. They were stubbornly blocking the Chinese players from advancing.

Further down were more elite Wild Wolves mixed in the crowd.

Wild Wolves could even see Wild Wolves flying over in a flashy manner from Shiva Town.

If she were not mistaken, those people were the members of the Forbidden Daiya Technique formations she killed before.

Shiva Town was right before their eyes. They did not need to take a long time to fly out of the town.

If they continued rotating members like this, with the Wild Wolves’ powerful foundation, they could last for a long time in the battle.

Once she saw this, Wind Chimes suddenly felt that the pressure on her shoulders had become much greater.

She could not help but slow down in her momentum as she played her zither.

“What’s wrong?” Howling Moon was multitasking. While he paid attention to the battlefield, he noticed Wind Chimes’ abnormality.

She sucked in a deep breath and said, “The people who died came back. We can’t continue like this.”

“There’s nothing we can do about that. We can only plan as we continue moving forward. The Wild Wolves have a strong foundation, and they have a huge number of Illusion Life and Death Pills stored up.” When he said this, Howling Moon suddenly mentioned, “But even the Wild Wolves will have a hard time trying to provide Illusion Life and Death Pills to two thousand people. They won’t be able to provide for them a lot of times.”

“You make it sound so easy. Those are two thousand supreme-class elites, not two thousand pigs awaiting slaughter. It won’t be easy for us to kill them.” Someone rolled his eyes and decided to diminish his enthusiasm.

Howling Moon instantly found himself speechless.

Indeed, killing just one supreme-class elite would take them a lot of skill and manpower. It would not be easy for them to kill two thousand supreme-class elites.

It was basically impossible for them to end the battle outside Shiva Town in half an hour.

Just when Howling Moon showed a resigned expression, Wind Chimes suddenly mentioned something that caused to be stunned. “It’s not actually that hard to kill these people.”

Her words were so arrogant that she caused the people around her to wonder about what she said.

“Do you have a way?” Howling Moon was the one who reacted the fastest.

No matter what, Wind Chimes was Six-fingered Demonic Zither’s disciple, and she had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses. Happy must also have his own purpose for personally bringing Wind Chimes to this battlefield.

Howling Moon asked eagerly, “Do you have a way to break the Wild Wolves in half an hour?”

“I can try.” Wind Chimes did not immediately give an affirmative answer. Instead, while the people watched her, she brought a group of golden needles.

“Those are...?” The group was stunned.

Then, they had their mouths fall open.

They watched in shock and even held their breaths as Wind Chimes quickly stabbed nine golden needles into a few acupressure points in her head.

Boom!

At the moment the nine needles pierced into her, Wind Chimes’ long hair danced about, even though there was no wind.

An intimidating and powerful qi surged out of Wind Chimes’ body.

It was the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique!

Wind Chimes’ potential was instantly stimulated. An unprecedentedly strong qi instantly swept through the entire battlefield.

Then, agitated zither notes rose from among the vanguards of Lovely Land’s army.

At that moment, even Evil Emperor had his blood surge because of the zither notes, even though he was fighting fiercely in the air. His qi and blood raged in him, and he staggered.

Whoosh!

Evil Emperor quickly retreated hundreds of feet backward, and shock appeared in his eyes. He stared at the spot where the zither notes appeared in disbelief.
