Chapter 1013: Demon Breaking Golden Cymbal Music

Boom!

When that messenger pigeon was sent, in the blink of an eye, an army gathered together near Class One Hall’s headquarters!

Class One Hall did not react slowly to this either! Tens of thousands of people surged out of the restaurant or the headquarters.

In the span of a breath, the two greatest factions of power in Beijing mingled together at the streets or near the headquarters.

The people from Class One Hall and Wind Assault Tower acted like they were enemies in their past lives. They glared at each other and sized up each other hostilely. They looked like sulphur and saltpeter that were mixed together.

Creak! Creak!

The sound of bows being drawn rose from the depth of Class One Hall’s headquarters.

If anyone stood at the roofs of restaurants right now and stared into Class One Hall’s headquarters from above, they would find at least thousands of bows being drawn, and they were all positioned very closely to each other! Each archer had at least four arrows in their hands, and when those outside saw it, they felt their eyelids twitch.

As expected of Class One Hall…

With the defensive stance they put on to defend their headquarters, one round of arrows alone might already be enough to kill a large group of elites.

However, Wind Assault Tower had clearly come prepared.

As Wind Assault Tower elites on the roof shouted loudly, the Wind Assault Tower members who had arrived at the edge of the square started moving. With a loud whoosh, each person held a huge shield in their hands.

Boom!

The ground shook.

The huge shields were placed on the ground. An indestructible wall was instantly formed.

A shield formation!

“…Hiss…”

The players watching in the shadows sucked in sharp breaths.

“Steel armor and huge shields. Those are items that you only find in war. Each of them cost more than one million. As expected of the strongest sect in the Chinese server, Wind Assault Tower actually has more than one thousand huge shields…”

Just when everyone looked forward to a horrifying and devastating fight, a group of people suddenly walked out of Class One Hall’s door. The person in the lead took two steps forward. His voice was loud, and it spread out to a circular area of several miles.

“Our hall master has something to say! Is Tower Master Shadow around?!”

Shocked voices came from the crowd.

“They’re about to immediately wage war, so what else do they have to say? Is Dream Clouds prepared to state her will, or does she want to admit defeat because she’s afraid now?

“Hahahaha!”

Someone from Wind Assault Tower laughed out loud.

Before his voice faded away, the person who came out of Class One Hall’s headquarters to speak had his expression turn dark. He pointed at the person who laughed and mocked them.

“AH!”

A Class One Hall member standing beside the person pierced through that person’s throat. That person could only let out a pained scream before he died on the spot.

“Bastard!”

“Kill him!”

Those Wind Assault Tower members did not expect that Class One Hall would dare to attack their people in the city’s protected zone. Within a period of time, multiple people attacked and killed the person who murdered their friend.

The accident happened quickly, and it also ended quickly.

However, during that time, the people from Class One Hall never had their expression change. The people from Wind Assault Tower and the other factions of power fell into a state of high alarm and wondered whether they were surrounded by enemies because of Class One Hall’s ruthlessness and decisiveness. After all, there were a lot of Class One Hall members in the streets. In fact, when they looked over, they saw a lot of Class One Hall members, and they could attack at any moment, just like the person they killed just now.

The person who spoke just now resumed speaking. His tone did not chance.

“Does Tower Master Shadow not dare to face us, or does she feel guilty?”

At this point, anyone could tell that his confidence was greater, and he was much more arrogant than before.

“How cool. If you kill someone in the protected zone in Beijing, not only will you need to die once, you will also be imprisoned for a week. But if all of you in Class One Hall attacks once, the pressure I face will be much lesser.”

Phantasmal Shadow finally appeared. She spoke with a leisurely tone, and with just a few words, she dissolved the intimidating force Class One Hall had just formed.

Class One Hall had killed resolutely just now because they wanted to create a frightening atmosphere and bring an even greater amount of fear and panic to the people, but when they thought about it, it would not be difficult to notice that Class One Hall would be sacrificing a whole lot more of their people if they wanted to kill them in the protected zone, and they would not benefit at all from the situation.

“Hehe… I thought that you were afraid of our hall master, Tower Master Shadow.

“Since you’re here, I will convey my hall master’s words to you.”

The Class One Hall member clearly did not want to continue lingering on this topic, but he did not expect that before he could finish speaking, Phantasmal Shadow had already snorted coldly and forced his words to die in his throat.

“What is it now? Does Dream Clouds not dare to personally appear in front of me? Could it be that because her act of working together with Wild Wolves was revealed that she’s feeling guilty and afraid, and doesn’t dare to show up in front of the world right now?”

Phantasmal Shadow unceremoniously gave the man a dose of his own medicine.

The person Dream Clouds sent to speak with Phantasmal Shadow was clearly a pretty decent orator. He remained composed and said calmly, “Our hall master has mentioned that since you already have the prejudiced notion that Class One Hall is working with Wild Wolves set in your mind and are determined to slander Class One Hall and destroy us, no matter what we say, it’s useless. We’re only enduring through this insult, and we will use time to prove our innocence.”

“Evil Emperor has gone missing, and he should be coming to the Chinese server. Yet you’re here, asking for time? Don’t you think you’re indulging in your fantasies a little too much?”

Phantasmal Shadow said those words with her qi, and those within a circular area of several miles could hear her clearly.

When she said those words, Beijing burst into an uproar once more.

“What?!”

“Evil Emperor is going to invade the Chinese server again?!”

“It’s no wonder why Wind Assault Tower is so impatient in declaring war against Class One Hall, and they’ve even decided to attack Class One Hall at their base in foundation…”

Countless people came to a realization and flew into a rage.

The spokesperson from Class One Hall chuckled coldly. “What does Evil Emperor’s disappearance have to do with us? If you have questions about it, go and ask Evil Emperor or Wandering Know-it-all. Could it be that everytime Evil Emperor kills, you’re going to kill another to enforce justice? This time, it’s Class One Hall. Next time, who will it be?”

Someone beside Phantasmal Shadow frowned and warned her. “Tower master, that guy is clearly stalling for time.”

She nodded. She immediately cast a glance at the depths of the crowd before her cold voice spread through Class One Hall’s headquarters.

“Dream Clouds, looks like there’s already no room for negotiation between us.”

Once she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The Class One Hall members’ expressions changed.

The group quickly sensed that the atmosphere outside had turned tense and solemn, as if some violent chemical reaction had begun!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the crowd on a roof in a direction parted, and a group of people charged into the shield formation Wind Assault Tower set up.

The Class One Hall spokesperson had his pupils shrink.

He managed to recognize one of them within a moment.

“Demonic Zither Wind Chimes!

“Alright! Looks like the instigator behind this is indeed Wandering Know-it-all!

“You want to use Demonic Zither Wind Chimes to slaughter Class One Hall? Hmph! Dream on!”

As he spoke, the person haughtily jumped to the glazed roof above the door.

“Kill them!”

Before the zither sounds could rise, dozens of figures had already charged out from behind the shield formation. All of them charged to the shield formation with an indomitable spirit.

“Set up the formation!”

Boom!

Dozens of shield wielders surrounded Wind Chimes and her group at the center, forming a huge wall to encircle them inside tightly.

Clang!

Zither sounds rose.

The dozens of people who charged near the shield formation came to a halt.

Clang!

A purplish-black sword glare cut through the horizon like lightning, and the sky above Class One Hall seemed like it had darkened slightly.

Thud! Thud!

Before those dozens of Class One Hall assassins could get close to the shield formation, they already had sword glares tear apart their throats, and all of them fell to the ground.

The sword glare disappeared in a flash, and in an instant, Wind Assault Tower’s momentum increased greatly!

“One Emperor!”

“It’s him!”

The purplish black sword glare as well as unique domineering presence was One Emperor’s trademark!

Many people on Class One Hall’s side had their expressions turn incredibly dark.

With One Emperor and Wind Assault Tower protecting her at full force, who could break the shield formation and kill Wind Chimes?

Wind Chimes’ destructive prowess was something well-known to everyone in Beijing. In fact, there was a saying circulating in Beijing.

‘Once Demonic Zither Wind Chimes’ notes sounded and she finished playing one song, she could kill more than one thousand people. She could easily decide who the victor is in a sect war.’

The intimidating force in her when she attacked a sect was even above One Emperor.

“Our hall master has indeed made the correct guess.

“But you actually had the strongest player in the Chinese server to protect a girl? Hmph! Don’t you think you’re overestimating Class One Hall?!”

Class One Hall’s spokesperson gritted his teeth. His expression was dark.

When he thought about how he and his people were all exposed to the threat of the demonic zither’s sound slaughter, he knew that it was impossible for them to maintain their original morale.

Many people could see that the scale of victory was tilting toward Wind Assault Tower before the battle even started, and they could already envision the scene of Class One Hall quickly crumbling!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wind Chimes did not waste time. Her job was to aid Phantasmal Shadow in dissolving Class One Hall’s fighting spirit. She destroyed the archers and forced them to engage Wind Assault Tower in close-quarters combat. Hence, she used one Sky Demon Tremor to work with One Emperor in killing dozens of Class One Hall elites. Then, she quickly arrived at the front row of the shield formation, sit down cross-legged, placed her zither on her knees, and began playing notes that were filled with a murderous tone.

Thousands of sound blades in the air buzzed and gathered together to form a terrifying river of murderous sound with a terrifying momentum. The notes intersected with each other in the air before they swept out of the encirclement of the shield formation. It was as if the galaxy was rolling backwards to crash into Class One Hall’s headquarters with the force of a tidal wave.

Sound blades were things that could not be pierced through and weakened by physical items.

If Class One Hall’s members wanted to fight against the damage from the sound blades, they needed to use hidden forces or remote forces. Because of it, they were forced to give up on using bows and arrows.

However, just when countless people from Wind Assault Tower looked forward to Class One Hall’s members put away their bows and arrows to switch their weapons, they found that the people inside did not seem to want to switch their weapons at all.

Then, Phantasmal Shadow saw two people jump into the air at the entrance!

Those two people did not appear to be Chinese, but they each held a huge pair of cymbals in their hands.

Her heart tensed. “They are…”

Before Phantasmal Shadow could recognize those two, they had already landed on the roof. When they faced the majestic sound blade river, they ruthlessly rammed the golden cymbals together!

Clang!

A piercing sound wave with a force that could shock people’s hearts formed invisible waves of force, and they completely crushed the sound blade river in the air.

Clang!

Wind Chimes’ expression changed.

The two unidentified people were clearly also people who used sound wave attacks! And the AOE range in their sound waves was even wider, and the damage was even greater. They had not actually just crushed the core of the sound blade river, the sound wave had actually charged straight to her zither strings as well, interrupting her song.

The entire sound blade river was instantly crushed!

Wind Chimes resolutely stopped playing. She placed her fingers on the strings and scowled.

“It’s no wonder why Dream Clouds only sent a subordinate to show up. Looks like she has been prepared for me a long time ago.” Even though she felt a little dejected, she was not surprised by it, because Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow had already predicted all this.

One Emperor was not just there to protect her, but was also there to clear all obstructions in her way!
