  W.h.i.n.e… W.h.i.n.e!

  Happy would not let go of such a rare opportunity!

  Horrifying wounds bloomed on the four Japanese ninjas' c.h.e.s.ts.

  The damage of Seven Stars Sword Style had always been astonishing, and when it was executed by the aggressive Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword, Happy deliver all of the damage to the four enemies. Not a single bit of damage was wasted, and he cut a few of their ribs. The four of them were sent flying away at a great speed. If any good swordsman in the real world saw such a steady amount of force executed by Happy's attack, they would definitely be shocked.

  Cling cling, clang clang!

  The death of the Japanese Ninjas made the three Knife-throwing Ninjas uneasy, and they threw countless throwing knives at Happy's body fortification.

  The golden bell shone brilliantly, like an explosion. Then, it swiftly dimmed by one-third of its original intensity.

  It was as expected of a high-tier throwing knife technique. Its might did not lose to Mystical Realm high-tier martial arts in Grandmaster Realm, and if the user was also at Mystical Realm, the damage would indeed be extraordinary.

  'Fortunately, there are only three Knife-throwing Ninjas,' Happy thought.

  At that moment, footsteps reached his ears from outside the hall. There were a lot of them, and Happy could tell that there were more than twenty people coming swiftly toward him.

  The true meaning behind Life and Death Circuit was that it could activate all traps in the hall, and the ninjas lying in ambush at the two entrances of the hall would show up as well. Then, the ninjas in the two small halls would appear. There were four waves of ninjas in total, and they numbered to more than fifty people. Four of them were even Life and Death Realm Shadow Warriors.

  'They're here!'

  Happy's expression changed slightly. He no longer hesitated and while facing the attack from the Knife-throwing Ninjas, he rushed in front of the trio like a whirlwind.

  Ninjas were people with weak defenses, especially Knife-throwing Ninjas. They were absolutely terrible in close-quarter combat, and when their enemy was close to them, it was very difficult for them to bring out the might of their throwing knives. They required distance and the safety it provided.

  Hence, when they saw Happy close in on them, they instantly panicked. They stopped attacking and instinctively shot to the left and right in hopes of breaking past him and fleeing the small hall so that they could widen the distance between them!

  However, Happy had put them as the last on his to-kill list. There was no way then that he would allow them to flee from him.

  Chapter 270 - Seven Stars Brilliant Moon

  Happy had spent less than ten seconds to kill the Cloning Ninjas, slaughter the Japanese Ninjas, and murder the Knife-throwing Ninjas who wanted to flee the small hall.

  When the ninjas who came from the left and right tunnels that formed the square hall appeared in his sight, the battle had already ended, and the newcomers were just in time to witness Happy take away the black medicinal pill from the sandalwood box.

  "Kill him!"

  Whoosh, whoosh!

  The four Shadow Warriors rushed to the forefront of the group. When they saw the ninjas' corpses that filled the ground, their emotionless eyes instantly became even colder! They looked at each other, then rose into the air. They then twisted their bodies while airborne, like a spiral. Their Tachis spun madly with them, and the wind let out a piercing howl. They were like four sharp blades intertwining with each other to attack the small hall from different directions.

  'They sure came fast…'

  Happy's heart sank. He put away the medicinal pill in the sandalwood box and ignored the strategy of the four Shadow Warriors to lock down his path and kill him. He dashed forward and went up against one of the intertwining blades coming at him with an astonishing momentum.

  He might have seemed to be charging straight into his own death, but the moment the two parties clashed, the golden light of his body fortification suddenly shone brilliantly! Golden Bell Cocoon acted like an iron wall and reflected Shadow Warrior's attack!

  The piercing sound of metal scraping against metal rose into the air!

  Sparks flew out of Happy's Golden Bell Cocoon. The Shadow Warrior's technique was destroyed, and he was sent flying after executing his spinning blade. He tumbled in the air and landed dozens of feet away in one nimble movement, but he could not dissolve the force completely. He only managed to gain his footing after taking a few loud steps backwards.

  Happy was only injured lightly in the head. His Golden Bell Cocoon only became slightly fainter, and he quickly swallowed a medicinal pill.

  But the matter was far from over!

  Shick! Shick!

  Right after Happy broke the encirclement, dozens of sparkling throwing knives flew at him from the gap that opened up at his side.

  At the same time, ninjas wearing bamboo hats surrounded him from his left and right while making strange signs with their hands. Two puffs of smoke rose beside him. Each of the Cloning Ninjas gained two Cloning Ninjas who looked exactly like them. They held a strange weapon with three points in their hands, and they quickly blocked the exit of the small hall.

  If anyone else were in Happy's place, they might have already fallen into despair a long time ago when faced with a situation in which they were blocked in a hall by around a dozen Knife-throwing Ninjas, Cloning Ninjas, Japanese Ninjas, and four Shadow Warriors.

  He created a gap in the formation when the Shadow Warriors tried to surround and kill him, and he did not stop. He moved like a phantom and vanished from where he stood. In the eyes of the ninjas, it was as if their prey had turned into a ball of golden light. It twisted in a strange manner and avoided all the throwing knives. Then, completely unharmed, he rushed toward them.

  It was Petit Dragon!

  It was a skill that allowed Happy to maximize his chances of avoiding being injured within a short period of time. His dodge rate would increase by 80%.

  Most of the attacks brushed past his body. The remaining ones only grazed his Golden Bell Cocoon, dealing no damage to Happy!

  Whoosh!

  Once Happy broke through the Knife-throwing Ninjas second attempt to kill him, he jumped high into the air and flew over the various Cloning Ninjas. He then landed behind them like a bird, right before the group of Knife-throwing Ninjas.

  Shick!

  Since the Knife-throwing Ninjas posed the greatest threat to him, Happy did not show any mercy for them. He moved between two of them without giving them a chance to flee.

  While doing so, he activated the profound skill of Seven Stars Sword Styles.

  Seven Stars Brilliant Moon, activate!

  Bang!

  The Knife-throwing Ninja to his left only saw blue light enter his vision, as if stars had been enlarged endlessly before his eyes. His body was pushed down by a great weight, and he was forced to the ground. He was spread eagle, and his meridian system was crushed.

  At the same time, the second ray of blue starlight rose. It appeared together with the first light, and the Knife-throwing Ninja to the right was hit by it. He was sent flying horizontally.

  An indifferent and calm shout rose in the hall.

  "Alkaid! Mizar!"

  Two Knife-throwing Ninjas fell to the ground.

  Happy's body finally appeared for a moment.

  He tapped against the second Knife-throwing Ninja's corpse, and the airborne corpse froze in the air for a moment before it was sent crashing against the ground. Happy used it to jump up.

  "Alioth!"

  Another blue light lit up, and it shot through the third Knife-throwing Ninja's body.

  "Megrez!"

  The momentum of his sword became even more violent!

  When the fourth blue starlight finally became clear, Happy's speed increased, and he could no longer be seen.

  He let out a light gasp, and the sharp sword glare from Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword violently sliced
past a Knife-throwing Ninja's neck.

  He landed on the ground like a ball of light!

  "Merak! Dubhe!"

  The fifth and sixth starlight looked as if they rose from the ground and went upwards!

  The two targeted Knife-throwing Ninjas did not have a chance to fight back. When the great power that could not be resisted came at them, their bodies were sent flying high into the air. They nearly crashed against the ceiling.

  The group of ninjas simply stared at the seventh ray of blue starlight charging toward the next Knife-throwing Ninja. Happy's body became clear when he appeared above the Knife-throwing Ninja like a demon and brushed past him like a ball of light.

  Without any emotion on his face, he said, "Phecda!"

  The seven Knife-throwing Ninjas formed the picture of the seven stars of Big Dipper behind Happy and before the group of ninjas.

  When Happy said his last word…

  Thud! Thud!

  The six corpses that had been frozen in the air landed on the ground at the same time!

  Seven Knife-throwing Ninjas had died.

  The last of the seven Knife-throwing Ninja still stood where he was, stupefied. There was not a trace of blood or injury on him, but Happy could no longer see any hints of life and energy in his eyes.

  The final kill executed by Seven Stars Brilliant Moon was the most terrifying. It would have the strongest and most profound secret from the six attacks executed previously and force out an intangible will of the sword. It would directly destroy other people's minds and souls as well as their meridian systems.

  Happy killed seven Knife-throwing Ninjas in one go.

  To him, this was a huge expenditure. The qi and mental energy required to activate Seven Stars Brilliant Moon was twice the amount required by Dragon Capture. Coupled with Petit Dragon, which he used previously, Happy had used nearly one-third of his qi.

  He could already sense exhaustion and weakness creeping up his body. His qi realm slid down to Blessed Realm, and his defense, attack, as well as movement speed decreased by a small margin.

  A Dew Pill swiftly entered his stomach.

  He moved quickly and exited the small hall through the gap that had been opened. In his haste, he did not even have time to take his loot.

  It was easy to kill Knife-throwing Ninjas, but it was difficult to kill the numerous Cloning Ninjas!

  Happy believed that he did not have the ability to kill a sea of Mystical Realm Cloning Ninjas and Shadow Warriors. Besides, he had killed Knife-throwing Ninjas only to reduce the pressure on him while he was fleeing for his life.

  Whoosh!

  He quickly ran out of the square hall, and footsteps quickly rose behind him.

  'Perfect!'

  A smile formed on Happy's lips. He did not stop moving while eating another Dew Pill. The medicinal pill turned into waves of heat that swiftly filled his Dantian region as well as his limbs.

  Chapter 271 - The Loot That Was Not Taken

  Less than fifteen minutes after Happy left the square-shaped hall, the people from four sects arrived at a calm pace.

  Before they entered the hall, they saw seven Knife-throwing Ninjas' corpses strewn over the ground. They also saw the chaotic but closely packed corpses in the small hall to the left. There were about a dozen of them, and the group instantly went on guard.

  "Look over there!"

  When someone gave a reminder to the group, Wudang Sect's Ouyang Qing, Shaolin Temple's thirteen staff-using monks, Emei Sect's Yue Hua, and Beautiful Robes Faction's Phoenix Dances, who walked in the front, put on wary expressions and looked toward the small hall to the side. A group of ninjas stood guarding that place while staring at them with hostility.

  'Strange!'

  The hall's strange atmosphere caused the group to not dare to be negligent. They carefully sized up the area, and Ouyang Qing gasped in amazement. "That brother is really good!"

  "True."

  The thirteen staff-using monks had grave expressions.

  He had come alone and did not touch the boxes that provided a battle of a lower difficulty—they usually only had to face three to five ninjas for those boxes—but had instead triggered the battle in the hall that would bring a large group of ninjas. Once he killed them, he retreated with every part of his body intact.

  His skills were really great, and perhaps even the thirteen staff-using monks would not be able to do what he did so beautifully!

  "I'm even more curious as to which sect he belongs to now."

  While she spoke, Yue Hua had a face full of smiles. The eyes of the Emei Sect mistresses behind her also sparkled. The image of the blue-robed young man that had been imprinted their minds previously instantly became much greater and mightier.

  "The item in the hall on the right doesn't seem to have been touched. If there were so many ninjas guarding it, then it's definitely much more valuable than the boxes we opened all this way. Who should go?"

  The four sects were slightly tempted.

  "You should go. We already have a hard time dealing with just three Knife-throwing Ninjas, but there are four Cloning Ninjas. We won't fight for it," said the leader of the staff-using monks, Strength Star.

  "Cloning Ninjas are indeed very troublesome."

  The people from Emei Sect and Wudang Sect observed the situation in the small hall to the right while they deduced in their heads just what sort of price they would have to pay to handle that group of ninjas.

  The reaction of Beautiful Robes Faction was rather strange.

  The Three Lonely Wolves brought a few people and ran into the small hall to the left. When the others saw it, they were worried that some sort of trap would spring up again.

  "Careful!"

  They ran in after them.

  When they ran past the seven Knife-throwing Ninjas' corpses, Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and the others looked at the ninjas who lay dead in a straight line. Their gazes then fixed on the last corpse. They sized it up repeatedly, and the shock in their eyes could not be described with words.

  "What is this sword technique?"

  "No injuries were left behind!"

  "It's the will of the sword!" Glutinous Rice said with a somber expression. "Based on the wounds on the other ninjas, all of them died in one hit. That person must have used a high-tier sword technique that has a requirement of at least Mystical Realm. If he can use the will of the sword, then his technique must be at least above the ninth realm. By the looks of it, he's an incredibly good player!"

  'Duh.' The Three Lonely Wolves looked at each other and rolled their eyes. 'His title as the first on the Famous People Rank wasn't given to him on a silver platter! Happy's the guy who managed to remove Five Venoms from World of Martial Arts by himself, you know? If that isn't enough to be considered as extremely good, who else can be considered good? But…'

  Young Lonely White had sharp eyes. He crouched down next to a corpse and searched through it. Then, under the people's incredulous gazes, he brought out a Universe Bag from beneath the corpse.

  Everyone else was so dumbfounded that they were speechless.

  'No way! I'll let it slide that he ignored those normal boxes, but after such a hard fight, he didn't even take away the loot?'

  The Three Lonely Wolves reacted the fastest.

  "Hurry up. Search through the corpses over there as well. Gather up all the loot," Young Lonely Seven whispered urgently.

  The eyes of people from Beautiful Robes Faction lit up.

  They quickly ran into the hall, and just as expected, they found quite a lot of Universe Bags. There were actually three bundles of Soaring Eagle Swords, which were hidden weapons that provided an extra three hundred damage. They also increased the user's shooting range by thirty-two feet. There was a total of fifty swords in each bundle. The group found a grade two masterpiece known as a Three-pronged Sword, a Katana, and a Bamboo Hat as well.

  Even though Soaring Eagle Swords were consumables, their attributes were great. Each set was worth at le
ast ten thousand taels of silver. There was not even any need to mention the worth of the other three masterpieces.

  No matter how she looked at it, it was a great fortune!

  If someone told her that someone could not regard such loot with any importance, she would not believe them even if they pointed a gun at her head. There was only one possibility then.

  The person did not have time to pick up the ninjas' loot nor had the chance to do so. That meant that there should have been more ninjas than the dead ones around them, and their numbers should have been so high that mysterious player could not handle them and had to give up on the spoils. He had to have been forced to flee!

  When she thought of this possibility, Phoenix Dances s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said to One Circle, "Things might not be as simple as they seem. One Circle, hurry to the other tunnel and observe the situation. Be careful. If you run into any ninjas, come back quickly."

  She felt that something was not right.

  "Got it!"

  The others had also guessed it. They put away the delight on their faces and became solemn.

  B.u.t.t Shaker could not quite come to a decision. "Then what about these things? Should we consider them as part of our loot in this mission and put them into our faction's storage?"

  "No!" Young Lonely White instinctively pushed at the air on the bridge of his nose. "We'll keep it for that guy for the time being."

  "Yup, that's what I think as well. It's not worth it to offend this sort of elite player for a small benefit."

  Phoenix Dances' reply caused the people to nod vigorously.

  At that moment, Shaolin Temple's thirteen staff-using monks finally noticed the situation in the hall to the left. They smiled wanly in envy. "You're really lucky. You got these masterpieces without spending any effort for them."

  "You shouldn't say that. We're just temporarily keeping them for that person. Once we meet them, we'll return them." Phoenix Dances quickly showed her stance in the matter.
