Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052 – It’s Simple, Kill Me
Chapter 1052: “It’s Simple, Kill Me”
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that moment, Happy was like a useless person. All his bones were crushed while he laid against the corner of the wall and did not move. In fact, even his pain had become numb. Now, he could no longer feel pain.
Flame Wolf had been very excited in the beginning, but now, after torturing Happy for so long, his interest ran out, because Happy’s gaze had already turned incredibly indifferent from the moment Flame Wolf crushed his fifth bone. He no longer clenched his teeth tightly together to bear with the pain, as he previously did. Aside from frowning a little when his bones were crushed, he only had mockery and derision left on his face, and it annoyed Flame Wolf to no end when he saw it. He felt incredibly defeated.
Every time Flame Wolf crushed Happy’s bone, he had to check the strength of Happy’s pulse and know whether Happy could withstand another shock to his system. Later on, he had to spend a lot of power to completely break Happy’s bone.
Each time, he had to use a lot of qi.
In the end, the blood and sweat on Happy’s body gradually dried, but Flame Wolf ended up being drenched in sweat, as if he did something that required him to use a lot of his strength.
All of this was seen by the Class One Hall members who passed by to watch the show. They also sensed an invisible chill that seeped into their bones from Happy, and they did not dare stay for even a second longer.
When he saw that the war situation in the headquarters had basically become stable and no accidents like just now would occur anymore, Flame Wolf glared viciously at Happy, and under Happy’s cold and derisive gaze, he moved him, “I admire your willpower, but I truly pity your intellect. If you had logged off since the beginning or just killed yourself, you might have already returned here and continued creating trouble for us, but now, you don’t have a chance to do that anymore.”
“This is your counterattack?”
Happy chuckled lightly in a very scornful manner, but his lips were dry. He lost too much blood, and his voice was a little hoarse. “When you said that, how exactly did you hope that I would react? Regret, or remorse filled with hate?”
Flame Wolf said nothing, but his expression stiffened.
Happy moved his lips once more with great difficulty. “Your expression right now is very interesting.”
Before Flame Wolf could school his expression, Happy went on. “Did you know? Just now, I had been counting. I was wondering how long you’ll spend breaking my bones, but by the looks of it now, you’re not that interested anymore. Did I make you feel defeated? You just broke 137 of my bones. Do you want to continue?”
Flame Wolf still said nothing. His face instantly gained a purplish red tint due to his anger, but he refused to show any weakness. “Wind Assault Tower is about to fall. If you come back from Guanlin Temple, I’ll be very interested in torturing you again.”
Those words alone were enough to force Flame Wolf’s mocking words back into his throat, and his face was now as red as a liver, but he could say nothing.
At that moment, Evil Emperor’s voice descended from the sky, and he was in time to help Flame Wolf get out of his current awkward situation.

“Did you know, Happy? You’ve been intentionally staying here and went through torture but refused to kill yourself and be revived. You made me be unable to help myself but think, you’re not actually thinking about helping Wind Assault Tower defend its headquarters. If you don’t mind, could you tell me why?”
Evil Emperor descended from the sky at a moderate pace and landed near Happy as well as Flame Wolf. While he was still above everyone, he pulled back the mighty pressure that caused everyone’s hearts to tremble, and he spoke as if he was talking to an old friend.
“Oh?” Happy quirked an eyebrow, and he threw a question back in a mocking manner. “Just like how I have a feeling that you don’t actually want Dream Clouds to be able to so forcefully and smoothly control the Chinese server?”
Evil Emperor’s expression changed slightly before he smiled and said, “Your skills are much stronger than I expected, but I didn’t expect that your oratory skills would be the same. You have a sharp tongue.”
“Can I treat that as you praising me?” Happy said in a mocking tone.
It was only reasonable that he would make that guess, because Dream Clouds had never been a woman who would be willing to stay under someone’s control, and she was someone who had a lot of schemes and plots in her mind. This time, it was highly possible that she used Wild Wolves to get rid of her strongest opponent in the Chinese server, but the strength she revealed might have also made Evil Emperor feel a little threatened.
“You can think however you want.”
Once he finished speaking, Evil Emperor looked up and surveyed the area. He used his expression to tell Happy that he no longer had the desire to continue talking with Happy.
Now that Evil Emperor stopped talking, Flame Wolf also did not dare act wildly anymore. Then, Happy finally had a chance to catch his breath and straighten his thoughts.
In truth, during that period of torture, Happy had never given up on paying attention to Wind Assault Tower. He had also been paying close attention to Phantasmal Shadow once she rushed to a spot 328 feet away from him, so he had a clear grasp of what she was doing.
Wind Assault Tower could be considered to be over by this point.
Phantasmal Shadow might be a great heroine, but compared to Dream Clouds, she was not quite as ruthless as she was, and she was gentler and more sensitive. This was the reason why she lost to Dream Clouds. Of course, she only lost to Dream Clouds this once. If she did something to mend those two flaws, they will end up as her greatest weapons, and she will be just like Liu Bei during the era of the three kingdoms. Liu Bei’s gentleness had caused him to be unable to shake off a lot of his burdens, but in the game, Phantasmal Shadow had a lot of chances. She might have failed this time, but it was not impossible for her to turn this flaw into her advantage and defeat Dream Clouds once more.
Happy could tell just how reckless Phantasmal Shadow had been when she took the initiative to charge forward to die, and he could also see the effect it would bring in the future.
If Phantasmal Shadow had not appeared since the start to the end, perhaps the reinforcements she led later on could fight in a fierce battle against Class One Hall, but some of the Wind Assault Tower members would definitely be disappointed.

After all, even if she died, there were a lot of Illusion Life and Death Pills in Wind Assault Tower, and with those, she could offset a lot of things.
As for Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, Happy knew that even if he died and returned from Guanlin Temple, he could not do anything with just his power alone.
There were plenty of capable people in Class One Hall. Besides, they had Evil Emperor protecting them. Even if he returned, the situation might not necessarily become better.
It was a regret that he was defeated so aggressively by Evil Emperor, but if he viewed this from another angle, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. As of current, who in World of Martial Arts could make Evil Emperor work together with so many top-class elites to ambush them?
Hence the saying, “A misfortune might actually be a blessing in disguise.”
However, while dying once could give others a positive impression of himself, dying repeatedly in Evil Emperor’s hands was not a wise decision.
Of course, Happy had been staying around and letting Flame Wolf torture him because of an even more important reason.
After remaining silent for a while, Evil Emperor suddenly turned his head around and scrutinized Happy’s face before he said, “Did you know? Ever since I came to the Chinese server, there has been something that puzzled me to no end.”
“I can understand if you died and came back here, fled and left Beijing, or met up with One Emperor to fight once more, but your act of staying here to be tortured by Flame Wolf and wasting your time made me curious. I truly want to know. How long will it take for you to be willing to go through the cycle of reincarnation and return to Guanlin Temple? What are you trying to accomplish by staying here?”
“Do you really want to know?” Happy opened his eyes.
Evil Emperor stared into Happy’s eyes quietly.
“It’s simple, kill me, and you’ll immediately know the reason.”
“Do you really refuse to commit suicide?” Evil Emperor frowned. “Your ego as an elite is really problematic.”
Happy did not continue speaking to Evil Emperor.
“Alright, I’ll do as you wish. After all, Wind Assault Tower’s ending has been set in stone. Even if you work together with One Emperor, you won’t be able to do anything.” While Evil Emperor spoke, he spread his fingers, and a small tornado was instantly formed.
His meridian systems had been completely broken a long time ago because of Flame Wolf’s torture, and he was struggling at the last of his breath. He no longer had any physical defense, and now, when he suffered an attack from the strongest player in the world, he breathed his last.
Evil Emperor did not look at Happy’s corpse. Instead, he looked in the direction where Guanlin Temple was, and his gaze was distant. “I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
A few seconds later, Evil Emperor noticed that Flame Wolf’s expression was a little strange.
He turned his head around and cast him a glance. He saw that not only was Flame Wolf’s expression a little abnormal, his gaze was also sparkling. No one knew what he was thinking about.
When he heard Evil Emperor’s question, Flame Wolf instinctively shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
Evil Emperor frowned a little, but he did not probe further into the issue.
Naturally, he did not know that during this period of time, Flame Wolf had been trying to search for the slightest hint of fear on Happy’s face, but he never gained what he wanted.
When Evil Emperor attacked, Flame Wolf did not miss the change in Happy’s expression. Flame Wolf noticed that not only did Happy show no fear, In fact, he did not even show any hint of relaxation, as if he had been released from suffering. Instead, he showed an excited smile, one that made Flame Wolf’s heart be filled with fear.
When Happy entered the cycle of reincarnation, he did not have the comforted or happy expression people typically had when they were released from danger and suffering. Instead, he had an excited smile that he could not suppress.
Flame Wolf could not understand the meaning behind Happy’s smile, but his instincts told him that when Happy reappeared before him…
When he thought of this, for some unknown reason, he no longer had the courage to face Happy. He was filled with fear.
Happy entered the cycle of reincarnation.
At the moment he died, Happy went through the cycle as he did in the past. All that he did over the day was presented to him in black and white images.
He saw himself reaching the third realm for Full Winds in Long Skies in the prison after a period of difficult training. Then, he received a request for help from Phantasmal Shadow and Wandering Know-it-all, and he got out of the prison cell.
The scene soon changed to the battle erupting. He saw himself face the pincer attack from the three top-class elites from Class One Hall, and during that time, he delivered a swift attack.
He killed Xie Lingyun, and Luo Jing as well as Shi Huasheng died after that.
He had rushed into the midst of the Class One Hall elites alone.
When he witnessed all this from an onlooker’s point of view, Happy saw himself swing Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and he could not help but have a hint of a smile appear on his lips. Then, he mumbled under his breath.
“Phantasmal Shadow… Wandering Know-it-all… My performance today for Wind Assault Tower has already lived up to all that you asked of me. Unfortunately, this time, Dream Clouds is indeed more skilful.”
Happy sighed in his heart in great regret.
As the person with the greatest power in Mu Clan in the other world, ever since Happy created Mu Clan, he had cultivated this normal faction of power tottering in its footsteps to the point that it could overpower Class One Hall and Towering Palace. Right now, it was the strongest power in the Chinese server. Luck played a factor in it, but there were all sorts of schemes involved as well.
Right from the start, he had been very careful with every step he took, and he was also very meticulous with every move he made.
But this time, Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wandering Know-it-all each made a mistake.
Wandering Know-it-all made a mistake in estimating the time One Emperor would take entering Beijing.
One Emperor did not manage to return to Beijing ahead of time to fight in the war. He was held back by certain things that would not affect the overall situation, and hence, he was delayed.
Phantasmal Shadow was the person in charge of Wind Assault Tower, but she did not manage to get help from the last four Beijing sects in time, and she did not personally come back to Wind Assault Tower to command her army.
If one wrong move could lead to a losing game, then three mistakes was enough to lead to the destruction of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters!
The scene changed before it slowed down and was fixed on the scene where Happy was instantly injured severely and crippled by Evil Emperor and the three top-class players.
