It was a sentient sword body filled with murderous will. It would not die, could not be destroyed, and could not be avoided!

  The powerful threat that came from the black sword gave Happy a sense of danger as if he was about to be torn apart. Warning bells rang loudly in his mind.

  He endured the pain of the endless sword wills around him tearing madly at his Arhat Body and persisted in maintaining the sword will between his fingers. He shut his eyes to “look” at the black sword.

  One Emperor also had very sensitive senses toward sword wills. Even though he was commanding the sword will while unconscious, he could still snap “awake” from the astonishing sword will that was swiftly born from the sword qi vortex.

  It was due to the wariness that all people were born with toward threats, and it aroused him at the final moment, when he had nearly completely under the control of the murderous intent.

  He opened his eyes.

  The black sword in front of him seemed to have sensed some sort of threat that came from itself. It could not draw anymore of One Emperor’s qi, and immediately, it could not control itself and let out a powerful roar in the air.

  The air trembled slightly.

  The numerous sword qi waves surrounding Happy instantly spread out, and the black sword tore through the air.

  Almost at the moment One Emperor opened his eyes, the warning bells in Happy’s mind rang out even more loudly. Without another word, the sword will that had gathered at his fingertips and was suppressed there was released without a sound.

  Shick!

  An astonishing scene appeared.

  Once Three Dragons Sword Qi appeared, the fierce and howling sword qi looked like they had ran into their nemesis. The mighty and domineering presence made them react like commoners who had run into a noble emperor. The tips of the sword qi quickly melted away, and wherever Three Dragons Sword Qi passed by, all the sword qi scattered and vanished in the air.

  But the appearance of Three Dragons Sword Qi did not affect that large black sword at all.

  The two clashed violently against each other in the air.

  Black light and golden light rammed viciously into each other and brought forth dazzling balls of light in the air.

  However, the attentive players could notice through certain unique methods that the battle seemed to have ended.

  With his spiritual sense, Happy noticed two sword wills that caused people’s souls to tremble and crash into each other. Their momentum froze at the same instant, and the large black sword quickly turned into a small sword glare that pierced Happy’s chest.

  His body trembled.

  He withstood the hit expressionlessly, but staggered a little. The bronze luster of his skin quickly faded away, and a black gash appeared on his Golden Armor. Fresh red blood slowly spread out.

  But Happy did not fall. His feet remained firmly on the ground. His breath was held in his throat, while Nine Yang Divine Skill continued protecting his shattered heart meridian without a care for the blood that was pouring outwards.

  \r \r \r

  Happy opened his eyes and looked at One Emperor, who was pale and seemed incredibly weak.

  A breeze blew gently between them.

  Thousands of blades of grass had been shredded, and they floated between the duo like scattered flowers.

  The grass in a circular area of 328 feet had been ripped apart at some unknown point in time.

  The ground was filled with sword qi trenches that intersected, and all of them were directed toward Happy.

  The fight had ended!

  In the end, Happy did not manage to receive One Emperor’s final slash and died.

  At that moment, the players watching in the distance sucked in a deep breath.

  It ended.

  The battle of the two top elites in the Chinese server ended with Happy’s death and One Emperor’s incredibly dazzling and powerful seventh slash.

  Even though Happy’s previous performance was incredibly extraordinary, in the end, he still did not manage to fend against the final slash and died in One Emperor’s hands.

  However, Happy’s act of standing in front of One Emperor even in his death like an undying God of War intimidated and put pressure on everyone who saw him. Many of the players in the crowd sighed with a myriad of emotion while looking at him.

  The top ranked player on Famous People Rank, the legendary Happy who had done whatever he wanted in World of Martial Arts for a year, had finally suffered his first defeat.

  He had also finally handed over the title of the strongest in the game, which he had obtained in Hero’s Mountain Villa.

  Just when everyone was prepared to accept the fact that One Emperor became the strongest in World of Martial Arts, someone in the forest suddenly cried out in surprise and bafflement.

  “There seems to be something wrong with One Emperor!”

  “Huh?”

  Many players at that moment realized that just like Happy, once One Emperor delivered his final slash, a breathtaking smile appeared on his face, but as time passed, the crowd noticed that he lost all signs of life. The smile started to vanish as well.

  “One Emperor also died.”

  A few people walked out from the crowd one after another. They stared at the duo who faced each other on the battlefield that now looked like a sacred ground.

  The brave group sighed and answered the question in everyone’s hearts. “Look at One Emperor’s forehead.”

  Countless gazes were directed to One Emperor’s forehead.

  There was a very small red dot there. If they did not look closely, they could not even see it.

  Everyone’s hearts trembled violently.

  They had thought that One Emperor had gained complete victory, but it showed up that his final slash had actually not managed to completely destroy Happy’s sword will. Instead, Happy had used it to end One Emperor’s life.

  Even if he died, One Emperor remained the same as Happy. He stood straight in the spot where he was during the battle.

  However, no one could understand his final smile.

  *****

  “Prepare to attack. Kill all those who dare to try and take Heaven Crystal as well as that divine weapon.” Silver Wolf’s expression was cold, and he whispered to Wind Chimes, who was dressed in white beside him.

  She nodded.

  Under the protection of the elites from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, she brought out her six-stringed demonic zither from her casket without batting an eyelid.

  *****

  “They both died……”

  “Heaven Crystal!”

  There were quite a number of people who became restless in the crowd. More than ten figures shot toward the stone stage where Happy and One Emperor had sat.

  However, they were not the only ones who had been paying attention to that side. With great killing intent, many more players brought out their bows and nocked their arrows or threw the hidden weapons in their hands at the moment those people acted.

  The ten or so people who had thought themselves smarter than others were killed by a wave of hidden weapons and arrows.

  “People like you are not allowed to disrespect Happy and One Emperor’s items!”

  “Whoever dares to take their items must die!”

  Angry voices rose and fell in the crowd.

  Many of the slightly smarter players wanted someone else to attack and grab the items first, so the situation would descend into chaos, but they did not expect that many of the great players in the crowd would remove their Bamboo Hats at that moment to reveal their faces.

  “Thirty-seventh on Dragon Rank, Abstruse Heaven. Eighteenth on Dragon Rank, Luo Qi.”

  “Lake Tai’s Three Heroes!”

  “Orochimaru, the top ranked on One Hundred Demon Influence Rank is also here.”

  “I think I recall those girls from Phoenix Rank…… Damn it…… Wind Void, Musical Note……”

  When they saw the great players, some of whom were on the ranking boards, appear one after another, quite a number of players who had evil thoughts in their minds felt their hearts tremble. The crowd returned calm once more.

  They went back to their spectator seats in the distance.

  Happy and One Emperor remained standing tall in the distance.
