  Old Swordsman finally moved at that moment.

  He turned around, cast a glance at Happy, then drew his sword and pointed it at Ninja King, whose face was red with rage!

  Chapter 288 - Surviving in a Dangerous Situation

  Ninja King first lost Nation Protecting Divine Sword, then was unable to kill Happy multiple times, and after that, he was even forced to see Happy take away the heirloom seal under Old Swordsman's protection. He was a Moksha Realm elite, and yet he was toyed around by a Chinese brat in Mystical Realm. Ninja King felt rage burn in his heart and a wave of humiliation that he could not put to words washed over him.

  Even if Old Swordsman turned around and attacked him, it did not prevent Ninja King from making a resolution to kill Happy.

  At that moment, Ninja King only had one goal—to kill Happy and snatch Nation Protecting Divine Sword as well as the heirloom seal from him!

  Whoosh!

  He vanished from the spot.

  However, Old Swordsman was not easy to deal with. Since the heirloom seal had been taken, his only reason for living right then was to kill all the enemies he saw in the second level of the royal mausoleum!

  The sword glare flashed, and Old Swordsman appeared in front of Ninja King. His old body was like a sturdy piece of rock. He took Happy's place and helped him withstand a blow, but he came out of it undamaged. With one slash, he left behind a deep gash on the golden armor, and Ninja King was once again sent flying out of the tomb.

  Ninja King might have been strong, but compared to Old Swordsman, he was slightly inferior, or else, he would not have held back until then and seized the heirloom seal.

  However, Ninja King knew that Old Swordsman not only had extraordinary abilities, but also was not afraid of death. He was not someone Ninja King could defeat. Hence, he did not want to engage in a fight with him for too long. Once he tricked him into attacking once, he bypassed Old Swordsman like a phantom and delivered a palm strike at Happy through the air!

  'Again?!'

  Happy's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and executed Petit Dragon. This time, he was not so unlucky as to have his dodge fail again. He crushed a Dew Pill in his mouth and activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill to instantly move behind Old Swordsman.

  'He's cunning!'

  Even though Ninja King could not speak Chinese, Happy could sense the gloom he felt at that moment based on his angry gaze.

  Old Swordsman took the initiative to attack!

  Happy g.r.o.a.n.e.d while watching the fight.

  He was injured quite badly right then, and he could not recover within a short time even if he took Dew Pills. If he left the tomb, it would be impossible for him to run too far away.

  When he saw that Old Swordsman had decided to ignore him in favor of attacking, he could only brace himself and follow behind him while he continuously took in Dew Pills. He also positioned his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword horizontally over his c.h.e.s.t so that he could be ready for the final resistance at any moment.

  Whoosh!

  Ninja King might have appeared to be a tragic sight, but with Golden Armor's protection, he was not actually injured that much. He resolutely charged out from the messy pile of stones and exchanged a blow with Old Swordsman. Both delivered their attacks at full strength, then Ninja King made a feint and appeared to Happy's left like a phantom.

  He struck Happy without any hesitation and as quick as lightning!

  He struck so viciously that it was evident that Happy had truly angered him, and he wanted to tear him to shreds.

  However, Ninja King had not expected that Happy would have made preparations to strike back with everything he had. When he saw Ninja King charge at him, he did not retreat, but advanced instead. He executed Dragon Capture in the face of Ninja King's heavy palm strike!

  Even though Happy could not control a powerful fighter who was two qi realms higher than him, he could still make him freeze for a moment, and just as he expected, that brief pause happened, as usual. The moment Ninja King's arm was seized courtesy of Dragon Capture, most of the energy in his body instantly vanished.

  The remaining power surged into Happy's body, and his face turned red. Blood trickled out of the corners of his lips.

  Ninja King still froze for a moment, though.

  Happy did not hesitate. He let go and shifted behind Old Swordsman.

  Everything happened just as he expected after that. Ninja King was once again sent flying by Old Swordsman. With extra time, he delivered two slashes on Ninja King, who still did not know what had happened. A piercing metallic sound rose, and blood poured out of Ninja King's helmet.

  Ninja King was injured!

  Happy felt his spirits lift.

  However, he did not dare to be negligent. He dragged his injured body away and sat down to activate Constellation Breathing Technique.

  Since Ninja King was injured and sent out of the tomb again, then with how stubborn Old Swordsman was and the strength he possessed, even if Ninja King wanted to bypass him, he would need some time to do it.

  Just as he expected, Ninja King could not quite accept what had just happened. His killing blow had actually been ingeniously dissolved by an ant, and he had even gotten injured even more.

  While he was dazed, he was struck twice. Old Swordsman's continuous sword attacks were like an Eight Trigrams Diagram. They came continuously, and each attack lasted for a long while. They were gentle, but also carried endless might.

  Ninja King's expression changed drastically!

  He did not dare face the force of Old Swordman's attacks head-on. With a tap against the ground, he retreated dozens of feet away, going further and further away from the tomb.

  But to his surprise, two halberds suddenly shot out from the corner, and before he could adjust his qi to cope with the situation, Old Swordsman seized the chance to add new wounds on his body with his fierce sword technique.

  The great Ninja King could no longer keep up his image of the golden God of War.

  His sparkling Golden Armor had more than ten gashes on it. Spots of blood could be seen on his c.h.e.s.t plate as well. His footsteps were disorderly, and he was in a situation where he could only be suppressed and beaten up by Old Swordsman.

  When it seemed as if he could no longer withstand it, he tapped at the ground, and with Fish Jump, he landed thirty-two feet away.

  Before Old Swordsman could charge after him, Ninja King crossed his arms over his c.h.e.s.t. With a loud thud, a ball of smoke shot up from the ground, and he vanished.

  Old Swordsman's expression changed. He suddenly turned around and let out an awe-inspiring roar in the direction of the tomb.

  "You thickheaded fool!"

  Just as he expected, Ninja King appeared dozens of feet away from the entrance to the tomb. He leapt across the walls to head inside!

  His target was still Happy.

  The miserable-looking Ninja King glared at the even more miserable-looking Happy with a livid expression. He then delivered a punch through the air. His speed did not decrease from that action, and he arrived in front of Happy with the wind he stirred up with his attack.

  Happy had suppressed the injuries in his body during the twenty or so seconds Old Swordsman had forced Ninja King out of the tomb. With the help of the exorbitantly priced Dew Pills, his qi returned to its peak condition.

  When Happy felt Ninja King rush into the tomb again, he opened his eyes calmly!

  Boom!

  The afterimage he left on the spot was shattered by the punch.

  Ninja King might have caught up to Happy's real body, but Happy had been prepared for it. He activated Petit Dragon and avoided Ninja King's sweeping kick like a loach before he escaped Ninja King's control like a speck of floating dust and landed outside the tomb.

  "You've become slower."

  Happy looked at Ninja King's back before he took in another Dew Pill, and a crazed look appeared in his eyes.

  Ninja King should have grown aware o
f the situation. If he continued being injured, he might drop to Life and Death Realm. Happy remembered that usually, when he was in such a situation, Ninja King would avoid confrontation and would become even harder to deal with.

  Happy did not say anything about that and remained silent.

  He no longer needed to worry about his safety at that moment. He had Petit Dragon, and it would be difficult for Ninja King to kill him with one blow. All he needed to be wary of was Ninja King running away.

  He had already made Old Swordsman fight against Ninja King for a long time, and he had risked his own life multiple times until Ninja King was finally injured. If he let Ninja King run away and get a chance to restore his strength, it would be difficult for Happy to recreate the same situation again.

  When he thought of that, Happy focused. He stared at Ninja King, and without batting an eyelid, he put away his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword so that he could bring out his Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm.

  The way he was right then, with his qi and Golden Bell Cocoon, he could take the risk and fight against Ninja King head-on...

  Chapter 289 - Lure

  While Happy was in a tense situation, the four sects increased their speed of going forward while they prepared themselves for a sinister confrontation!

  They knew that even if they had a lot of people with them, they would not be able to go up against Ninja King, so they did not dare to head to the right tunnel where Ninja King went. Once they got out of the semi-circular hall, they continued to head down the tunnel they had previously explored.

  Since their greatest worry—Ninja King—was gone, the four sects split into batches and pushed forward. Soon, they discovered the tomb which previously housed Nation Protecting Divine Sword along with three general puppets who had aggressive presences.

  "The item's gone. It's a deadend inside!"

  One Circle carefully looked inside while standing at the entrance before he swiftly retreated.

  "By the looks of it, those puppets aren't easy to deal with. We don't need to go looking for unnecessary trouble. Let's head to the other tunnel!"

  Phoenix Dances' cautious nature allowed Beautiful Robes Faction to avoid a disaster!

  General puppets had combat abilities that did not lose to those of Ninja King's clone. Besides, there were three of them there. If Phoenix Dances gave other orders, even if they did not experience a complete wipe out, they would certainly lose at least a few people.

  Soon, they noticed that even after they took a few turns, they did not see any soldier puppets.

  "Careful."

  They took two more turns, and a huge hall appeared at the end of it. There were two Cloning Ninjas standing at the entrance, and when they looked inside, they s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath! They hunched their shoulders and turned around to look at their comrades only to find that everyone had pale faces.

  There were all sorts of ninjas inside!

  And there were a lot of them!

  *****

  Happy activated Golden Bell Cocoon and carefully retreated outside the tomb. His gaze was focused on Ninja King, who had once again been forced into a fierce fight by Old Swordsman. Happy took that time to equip Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm.

  Boom!

  Once he equipped the demon vessel, he seemed to hear a faint, thunderous bang, and it was very astonishing. The sound could lift a person's spirits.

  Ninja King was once again sent flying out of the tomb. A few more bloody marks appeared on his body, and his qi went into disorder. He looked even more dejected compared to moments before.

  When he faced Happy, Ninja King's miserable presence faded away slightly. The cold glare in his eyes shone again, and it looked like his fighting spirit had returned. He charged straight at Happy.

  Petit Dragon!

  The moment Happy avoided Ninja King's attack, he did not move away like before. Instead, he quickly delivered a kick and another one!

  He swiftly delivered two kicks on Ninja King with his Stormy Shadowless Kick.

  "Die!"

  Ninja King was not scared, but delighted. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He ignored the minimal damage dealt by Happy and delivered a reflexive punch that hit Happy's c.h.e.s.t.

  Happy's reaction was incredibly quick. He crossed his arms over his c.h.e.s.t.

  Bang!

  Even though he had Golden Gauntlets, under Ninja King's great force, Happy was injured once again. His flew in the air, right past Old Swordsman.

  Ninja King intended to chase after him, but when he saw Old Swordsman rush at him, he could not help but feel like retreating. He did not dare to continue fighting against Old Swordsman anymore. His reputation of the most famous swordsman in the Yan Dynasty was well earned.

  However, at that moment, a clear and dull sound attracted Old Swordsman and Ninja King's attention!

  When they turned around to look, they found that the greatest treasure of the Yan Dynasty, the heirloom seal, had rolled to the center of the tomb in an incredibly eye-catching manner. It rolled a number of times before it settled on the ground. As for Happy, he lay on the ground while covered in blood. He pushed his hand against his c.h.e.s.t and coughed up blood while he laboriously extended his other hand to pick up the heirloom seal that was not too far away from him.

  No one said anything, but a cold glare shone in Ninja King's eyes!

  He did not think and endured another blow from Old Swordsman while charging back into the tomb.

  However, Old Swordsman also suffered quite the great shock.

  A hint of anger appeared on his stiff face.

  "You thickheaded fool!"

  It was still the same sentence, but at that moment, he sounded incredibly angry and mighty!

  Old Swordsman might not know why the heirloom seal had appeared in the royal mausoleum again, but Ninja King's actions had clearly agitated him. He changed the momentum of his sword, and it became even sharper and stronger! He chased after Ninja King, and the continuous stream of sword shadows landed on the golden figure like an avalanche. They cut Ninja King's Golden Armor.

  However, at that moment, Ninja King only had the heirloom seal in his eyes.

  The moment he took hold of the heirloom seal, it would not be difficult for him to use his ninja arts to leave the place!

  But he did not notice that the eyes of Happy, who was covered in blood while lying beside the heirloom seal, were incredibly bright and sharp at that moment. He stared at Ninja King, whose qi had become increasingly weaker, while Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword replaced Thousand Year Corpse King's Right Arm.

  *****

  Ninja King's movement speed had been affected by his injuries. In fact, he could not even run away from Old Swordsman's pursuit.

  As Old Swordsman chased after him, it looked like he was about to lose it.

  But the heirloom seal was already close at hand.

  Whoosh!

  Ninja King gritted his teeth and pounced on the heirloom seal.

  When Ninja King saw the person who did it, he flew into a rage!

  A gust of wind howled in the tomb with the force of an avalanche. The tables, chairs, benches, and scrolls inside the narrow space moved at the same time.

  Petit Dragon…

  Since he was heavily injured, Happy did not even bother to fight against Ninja King face to face. He used the skill to dodge his ultimate technique and easily avoided the attack.

  At the same time, he made way for Old Swordsman.

  Clang!

  A sword glare flashed, and Ninja King's expression changed swiftly.

  Unfortunately for him, with his condition right then, it was difficult for him to avoid Old Swordsman's sword when it came at him at full speed. The moment the tip of the sword hit his body, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning and crashed into the wall behind him.

  Boom!

  Ninja King stood up from the pile of rubble while heavily injured, but Old Swordsman cut at him again with his swor
d!

  Ninja King was driven into a corner, and his eyes finally filled with panic. He gritted his teeth and rose up once more while swiftly forming seals with his hands.

  His injuries were grave, and his condition was swiftly becoming worse. If he did not use his ninja art to leave, he would not be able to leave anymore!

  However, just when Ninja King executed the ninja art and hid himself in smoke, a dark yellow figure closed in on him like a bolt of lightning!

  Bang! Bang!

  "Urk!"

  Two muffled and pained groans rose, and Ninja King and Happy flew out of the smoke at the same time.

  Happy crashed into the place from which Ninja King had risen just then. He was injured even more than before, and he felt as if his limbs and bones had been broken. He could not struggle to his feet even after a long time had passed.

  But once Ninja King had been hit by Dragon Capture, not only was he dragged out of his hidden status, he was also sent flying to Old Swordsman.

  Naturally, Old Swordsman would not let Ninja King go.

  A brilliant sword glare stabbed Ninja King from behind him. At that moment, his Golden Armor was pierced through like a piece of paper, and blood gushed out!

  Ninja King widened his eyes in disbelief. He stared at the bloodied sword tip before he laboriously turned his face around. He stared at Happy, who lay in the distance, and clenched his fists tightly. Red rose on his face, and it looked like he wanted to use the last bit of his strength to kill Happy with a long distance punch.

  "You thickheaded fool!"

  Old Swordsman's old-fashioned but mighty roar rose again!
