Chapter 1047: Public Invitation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the moment Evil Emperor arrived, Happy immediately felt a vast power quietly crash into him. Without another word, he activated Petite Dragon and moved aside, and the attack that should have landed on him did not strike him. It grazed past him and knocked into the unfortunate ace from a Beijing sect. That person's chest plate caved, and he did not even have the chance to scream in pain. His body just fell backwards, and he was sent flying into the distance. Then, he no longer got up to his feet.
After Happy activated Petite Dragon, he wasted no time to fall on the ground and tumble on it. He also swung Recondite Steel Heavy Sword in the air to release a fierce, howling wind before he stabbed the sword in the ground in front of him.
Thud!
The flagstones shattered when Happy stabbed Recondite Steel Heavy Sword into the ground, and it was like a shield that was half a foot tall when it stood in front of Happy.
Right when he steadied himself, Recondite Steel Heavy Sword trembled fiercely, and a powerful force crashed into it.
Clang!
Happy felt his arm turn numb. He gritted his teeth and pressed the huge sword down, but the force of the power still pushed him several feet back.
Recondite Steel Heavy Sword also dug a trench that was wider than the sword breadth itself on the ground. Happy only stopped moving after a few seconds.
There was no need to even mention who did it. It was definitely Evil Emperor.
His constant evasion had forced Evil Emperor to attack him repeatedly, and just now, if Happy did not stop to fend against Evil Emperor, then the hidden forces and attacks that will come later will definitely be worse.
Fortunately, his Affinity and Arm Strength had been increased by Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and it did not disappoint. With the high block rate in the sword, he had withstood Evil Emperor's attack head on. He was not injured too heavily.
While Happy quickly stuffed a Small Reversion Pill hidden in his sleeve into his mouth, he got up and pulled his sword out of the ground. During that time, he mumbled calmly and gasped in amazement, "As expected of the person internationally acknowledged as the strongest, your Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art is indeed one of the four great books in the world of martial artists!"
He managed to remain safe under Evil Emperor's continuous offense, and he also managed to kill at least thirty top-class elites. He also indirectly caused more than twenty people to die in Evil Emperor's attack. This achievement not only made Evil Emperor serious, the Class One Hall aces around them also retreated dozens of feet backward in fear.
Of course, this was not just because of Happy. When Evil Emperor fought against someone, he would not allow anyone to get close to interfere. As for Wind Assault Tower, the group of Tang Sect elites and archers had indirectly caused dozens of their people to die. Right now, there were fewer than eighty of them left! Their great advantage was now reduced to zero.

"I didn't expect that another astounding player would appear in the Chinese server within such a short period of time. You're really good."
Evil Emperor's expression returned to normal while he stared at Happy calmly. He did not hide the admiration he had for Happy. "If you're willing to forget about your grudge with Class One Hall, I can invite you to join Wild Wolves."
Boom!
Evil Emperor's words were like an explosion in Wind Assault Tower's headquarters.
Evil Emperor had said the same words to One Emperor before, and only One Emperor had ever caught Evil Emperor's fancy in the Chinese server. He had personally tried to bring One Emperor into Wild Wolves, but One Emperor did not agree to it.
They did not expect that after one year, Evil Emperor would extend the same invitation to Happy, and judging by his tone, he wanted to take the initiative to resolve the grudge between Happy and Class One Hall.
Could it be that Happy had already reached One Emperor's level in Evil Emperor's eyes?
Many people sucked in sharp breaths.
They knew just how tempting was the prospect of joining Wild Wolves!
Wild Wolves had currently controlled eighty percent of the world's resources, and they had easily controlled the lifeline of each of the strongest faction of power in each country. All of this led to status, power, and various benefits.
As long as Happy agreed to it, he could stand at the top of the world!
Many people could understand why One Emperor rejected the offer, because One Emperor was already the strongest in the Chinese server. He did not lack status and could obtain various benefits on his own.
But Happy was different.
'I knew it!'
Wu Kuo and the rest stared at Happy with their expressions slightly different from before, and they saw him stop, looking a little tempted. He stood across Evil Emperor with a frown and did not say anything, as if he was thinking and hesitating about it.
When they saw this, many people from Wind Assault Tower gradually had their hearts sink.
It was already difficult enough to fight against Evil Emperor, and all of them had witnessed just how valiant Happy had been. He was basically a moving weapon, and he was just as intimidating as Evil Emperor.
However, while countless Wind Assault Tower members held their breaths and nervously waited for Happy to make his decision, Wind Chimes did not show any nervousness as she sat on the roof. Instead, she seized the chance to put her demonic zither into her sword casket and quietly retreated to the deeper parts of Wind Assault Tower's headquarters.

"Have you finished thinking things through?"
Others might not have noticed Demonic Zither Wind Chimes leaving, but Evil Emperor had already mastered Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art to a certain degree, and he immediately noticed what happened. He frowned a little and stared at Happy impatiently. "Are you going to be friends with me, or continue to be my enemy?"
Once he finished speaking, Happy put on a troubled expression and shrugged. "It's not easy for me to decide, you know? On one hand, I have to consider national interests, and on the other hand, I have supreme status and benefits waiting for me. Tsk tsk, could you give me more time to think?"
When Happy solemnly said those words, Dream Clouds' voice traveled coldly from a spot far away from Wind Assault Tower's headquarters. "Hmph! You actually thought about using such a despicable way to stall for time?! Who do you think you can fool?!"
"Oh no." Happy spread his arms with a very surprised expression right before Evil Emperor. "I can't believe I've been seen through so soon."
Yet even though he said those words, that half a minute was enough time for Happy to recover quite a lot of his qi, and Full Winds in Long Skies had also finished cooling down. He could use it again.
It was only then that Wind Assault Tower understood what went on—Happy had pretended to consider Evil Emperor's offer to stall for time.
At the same time the people from Wind Assault Tower felt as if a worry in their hearts disappear, they were also impressed by Happy's quick wit.
Evil Emperor said nothing for a moment. Then, he spoke without his expression ever changing, "I can only say that I am truly regretful for your choice."
While he spoke, he brought up one hand, and a mental attack in the shape of a tornado quickly appeared in the air to viciously tear at Happy.
This time, both parties were close to each other. The mental attack also manifested much faster from the palm-generated wind Evil Emperor created. It was also much more imposing than before.
Evil Emperor might have sped up in his attack, but Happy had been vigilant all this while and kept an eye on Evil Emperor's every move. When he noticed the man using an AOE attack again, he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps and retreated without hesitation to charge to the Class One Hall elites.
"I knew it. Looks like you have Willpower as well, or else, it'd be impossible for you to be completely unaffected by Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art." Evil Emperor chased after Happy while he said those words with a solemn tone. He struck Happy with a palm, and he immediately noticed that his damage was swiftly reduced by half by the strange true origin around Happy. "Your body fortification is also decent, but it's weakness is that you'll have to use up a lot of qi for it. Am I right?"
"I have another weakness. Would you like to know what it is?" While Happy shot to the side without ever stopping, he said these words to stir up Evil Emperor's curiosity.
"Oh?" Evil Emperor did not stop attacking, and he never stopped speaking either. "I'd like to hear what it is."
"Stop him!"
"Don't let him come in!"
"Bastard!"
When they faced Happy charging at them, the Class One Hall members were surprised and scared. They knew that Happy wanted to use them to withstand Evil Emperor's mental attack again, and without another word, they quickly attacked to stop him. For a short moment, Happy turned into a rat running down a street full of people chasing after him to kill him.
However, Happy did not care too much about that. The strength in Wave-like Subtle Steps was in moving through the gaps in a crowd. With his powerful and meticulous spiritual senses, he could go around everywhere without problem. Besides, these people were affected by Evil Emperor's mighty pressure, and their conditions were not good.
Happy practically did not run into any obstacles and easily blended into the enemy crowd through the gaps between the weapons. Once more, he forced Evil Emperor to lock down on him before he attacked.
But because of it, Happy's Petite Dragon could bring out great evasive effects.
Even Evil Emperor had to admit that Happy had a thorough understanding toward combat. Even if he was surrounded by enemies, he could still utilize his environment fully. He forcibly turned a dangerous situation into something that benefited him, and meanwhile, Evil Emperor was the one who had to restrain his movements. Even though he did not care about the survival of these Class One Hall elites, if he killed too many of them, Dream Clouds would still feel humiliated, and he would also end up as laughing stock.
"Happy, you're an elite who is at the same level as One Emperor, do you truly not have the courage to fight against me head on?"
"Don't put me on a pedestal. Everyone in the game knows that I have been lying sick in bed for one and a half years, and I have only recently rejoined the game. If you really want us to have a fair fight, leave the Chinese server and wait for a few months! Once I reach Inaction Realm, we can fight again!"
Happy might care about his own reputation if he were in the other world, but since he was here, Happy would not have so many worries. He was alone, had no title, and no burden. As for Evil Emperor, he was publicly acknowledged as the strongest in the world, was in Inaction Realm, and a person who obtained one of the four amazing books in the world of martial artists.
When he faced someone with so many dazzling titles on him, Happy absolutely had no burden in being a shameless person. As he moved about the crowd, he got rid of another two people while he was at it.
"Hmph, do you intend to use this method to stall for time?"
Anger flared on Evil Emperor's face.
If his opponent's abilities were slightly weaker, he could kill him with one palm.
But Happy's defense was greater than One Emperor, and he was faster than a rabbit when he ran. He also happened to be more cunning than a fox, and he always deliberately chose to run in the direction where Class One Hall was.
Unless Class One Hall retreated or he killed them all without regard of the cost, it would be impossible for him to kill Happy within a short amount of time.
"Since you won't fight against me head on, I can't be bothered to catch you either. I'll attack those people and destroy the headquarters. I'd like to see how long you can run after that."
Evil Emperor was the leader of an international mercenary group. He had just as many tricks and strategies as Happy did, and he quickly seized Happy's weak point.
"That's great!"
But against his expectations, right after he spoke and was prepared to take action, Happy happily replied from the crowd. "Wind Assault Tower isn't mine, anyway, and you shouldn't be able to destroy it in an instant. Since you can't catch up to me, let's have a fair match and see who can kill more and who will be the first to not be able to last!"
Evil Emperor originally intended that no matter what Happy said, he would use Wind Assault Tower to lure him out. He did not expect that Happy's provocation would cause him to be stuck.
He was the strongest player in the world, but because he could not catch a nameless player, he was forced to fight in a war of attrition against Happy by reducing their enemy forces.
He was the strongest player in the world. If he really did that, would that not mean that he was putting Happy at the same height as he was?
Evil Emperor's gaze turned cold, and he stopped moving resolutely.
