  The three sects had all their people surround Ninja King in a tight circle. Since they had more than one hundred people, they did not feel like they were in danger. Even though Ninja King could kill a person with a single punch, he was attacked even more frequently. The numerous attacks filled the entire area as if they could drown out Ninja King any moment they wanted.

  However, when half a minute passed, someone suddenly felt that there was some kind of obstacle on the ground. When they moved, they stepped on something soft, and they felt incredibly uncomfortable. It was a very troublesome situation.

  A few players quickly looked down to take a look. Even though the crowd moved about, they could still vaguely see that it were corpses whose names they did not know that they were stepping on. They were people whose faces they couldn’t even be seen!

  After another half a minute. Ninja King remained as lively as ever.

  He even began to force back a few people with each punch.

  They staggered, and once the people at the back were knocked away, they could not help but suck in a breath in shock.

  At some unknown point in time, dozens of people had fallen to the ground, lifeless. They had indignant and disbelieving expressions on their faces. When the remaining people made a general headcount, they found that at least one-third of their people had fallen dead on the ground.

  When they looked around them again, they found that the tunnel seemed to not be as crowded as before. However, the people remaining did not seem to have noticed it. When they had the chance to approach Ninja King, they would all rush to execute their strongest attacks, because they eagerly hoped that they would be the heroes who would kill Ninja King. They advanced and attacked in waves that came one after another, and they looked as if they had lost their minds.

  However, the people who approached Ninja King every single time would receive several of Ninja King’s swift attacks. Even though they did not seem to be in grave danger at that time and were only sent flying away, in truth, their heart meridians had already been crushed, even if they could not see any fresh blood. Once they fell, they could no longer move.

  Without many people noticing anything, a few more people fell to the ground.

  The players who surrounded Ninja King were still unaware of it. Everything was so quiet that it was ridiculous.

  Meanwhile, Ninja King continued to withstand the endless stream of attacks with ease. With the protection of his golden armor, he moved calmly. His gaze was cold as he sent player after player flying away in a composed manner.

  The number of deaths in the bloodless battlefield continued to rise steadily!

  Those who were aware were shocked.

  When fully grasped everything, a baffling sense of uneasiness and fear swiftly filled their hearts!

  A few people looked at the two ends of the tunnel at a loss. It was only then that they noticed that regardless of whether it was Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, Beautiful Robes Faction, or Emei Sect, who had just arrived, all of them stood far, far away. They also looked like they were worried that they would be dragged into the fight.

  “Stop!”

  “Our people are almost entirely dead!”

  \r \r \r

  A few people leaning against the wall began shouting madly, but their voices were incredibly small against the piercing sounds of metal clashing against metal. The faces of the disciples from the three sects were flushed red. Once a group of people were sent flying away, others would immediately take their place and attack recklessly.

  Soon, even more people fell to the ground dead. When half of the people from the three sects were dead, they finally began to notice that the situation was bad for them.

  The number of companions who were supposed to provide them reinforcements were swiftly reducing, and the people who had been sent flying away by Ninja King’s fists never managed to climb up. When the survivors found the time to look around them, a baffling fear swiftly seized their hearts!

  Hidden Soul Guild’s boss sucked in a sharp breath while he looked at everything in the tunnel.

  It had been less than two minutes, and there were fewer than fifty people left fighting. The others were either dead or injured! The sect members of Hidden Soul Guild had also been reduced to the point that they had fewer than ten people left! While Hidden Soul Guild’s boss watched, a chill that seeped into his bones quickly spread out from his heart to his limbs. He was confused, and he simply could not believe his own eyes.

  The people from Soaring Tiger Sect and Beggar’s Sect also reacted to the situation.

  Their eyes went wide in disbelief!

  “They should now understand why we didn’t want to fight……”

  Ouyang Qing was seated cross-legged while he circulated his qi. He sighed after looking at the miserable battlefield with pitying eyes. His heart was filled with sadness.

  “Amitabha.”

  The thirteen staff-using monks placed their hands flat against each other at the same time.

  *****

  Once the mistresses of Emei Sect heard Beautiful Robes Faction describe the matter, they frowned and cast the mysterious man a glance as if they were displeased by his methods.

  Based on his actions, it was clear that he wanted the people from the three sects to die.

  Even though Emei Sect did not quite like the people from the three sects, they were also averse to some of the cold-blooded slaughter in the game. They could even be said to be against it.

  “They’re retreating,” someone from Beautiful Robes Faction said.

  Phoenix Dances focused, and her gaze swiftly landed on Happy’s composed and calm face. “They will definitely think that this is a trap you intentionally laid down. What are you going to do now?”

  Her inquiring tone was a little odd. It was clear that it was not the attitude the leader of a faction should have toward a stranger.

  Even the people from Emei Sect noticed the strange way Phoenix Dances acted.

  “If they think this way, I can do nothing about it. But it’s true that I had the intention of letting Ninja King kill all of them in one fell swoop,” Happy said faintly.

  The expressions of the people from Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction filled with shock. A few of the disciples from Wudang Sect also sported similar expressions.

  “Why?”

  “When I came in, I saw more than three hundred Soaring Tiger Sect members gathered outside the royal mausoleum. They nearly killed me when I went past them. From that moment on, I began to plan how to kill all of them.

  “Now, Soaring Tiger Sect, Beggar’s Sect, and Hidden Soul Guild chose to act together and even took the initiative to kill-steal me. I don’t know whether Beggar’s Sect and Hidden Soul Guild have formed an alliance with Soaring Tiger Sect, but at worst they can be considered to have been caught in the crossfire.”

  “Soaring Tiger Sect has surrounded royal mausoleum? When did that happen?” Emei Sect’s Yue Hua frowned. She showed a little bit of skepticism. “Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction were clearly the last to enter the royal mausoleum—”

  “I entered after you,” Happy said faintly. “Did you honestly think that you’re the only ones with the Qi and Mind Calming Incense?”

  As he spoke, he brought out an exquisite incense pouch from his Universe Bag. A faint fragrance came out from it, and it made the people feel refreshed.

  “You aren’t from the seven system-allocated sects?!”

  The expressions of the people around Happy changed; they were all very shocked.

  Happy ignored the reactions from the people of Emei Sect, and his tone remained as before. “If you don’t believe me, you can send some of your people to the bamboo forest to scout a little. I have two of my friends keeping watch outside the royal mausoleum. I believe that Soaring Tiger Sect hasn’t left just yet and is still thinking about killing us all in one go so that they can get our loot.”

  The others said nothing.

  Happy’s firm tone and the confident expression regarding the truth of his statement made the group of mistresses from Emei Sect believe him. When they looked at the people across from them, their gazes lacked their previous compassion, which was replaced by indifference.

  *****

  Even though the people from the three great sects had noticed that the situation was off and they wanted to turn around to run, they found that Ninja King did not just have a quick attack speed. He also had high movement speed, which was another one of his characteristics!

  He chased after them while using his fists and legs to attack them!

  With just a few moves, he managed to kill one person.

  The people from Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple had been at the other end of the tunnel, but they had long since decided to stay far away from the battlefield and hide in another tunnel. No one showed any intention to shield the three sects from Ninja King and only watched as he chased after them and reduced their already scarce numbers even more.

  Anger, indignation, regret, and all sorts of other emotions surged in the hearts of the people who were lucky enough to still be alive.

  “You despicable scum! You’re going to die a horrible death!”

  The moment Ninja King caught up to Hidden Soul Guild’s boss, his enraged roars traveled through the tunnel, and the people at both ends of it heard him.

  The people from Emei Sect cast a glance at the mysterious man in front of them, and the meaning behind their gazes was very clear.

  ‘Look, you just offended a player sect. I’d like to see how you’ll deal with this situation!’

  But the people from Beautiful Robes Faction did not feel any pressure.

  After all, it had only been a few days since Five Venoms was destroyed.
