“Ninja King?!”
“Could he be the final Boss in the royal mausoleum?”
“They actually killed all the ninjas in the royal mausoleum… Is this the last enemy?”
While they were on their way, aside from admiring the corpses of ninjas that filled the ground, the disciples from the other three great sects did not get anything. When they suddenly saw the sparkling and golden Ninja King in the distance, their unease in regards to them not being able to leave the royal mausoleum vanished completely. In its place rose the regret toward their lack of rewards before they left.
That was especially so when they saw that Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, and Beautiful Robes Faction did not seem to have suffered a lot of damage, but had still managed to reach the depths of the royal mausoleum. It was like a psychological attack on them, and they felt humiliated.
As they moved through the tunnel, they saw more than four hundred ninja corpses!
There were also all sorts of side halls and small halls. Even if they played safe in their calculations, they still estimated that around a dozen masterpieces had been dropped, but they did not have any of the rewards, which was a little difficult for them to accept.
When they arrived behind the players who had backed away, they saw the duo fighting in the tunnel. The three great sects asked the other sects the situation while they moved toward them and their thoughts raged in their hearts.
Ninja King…
Based on the name, it was definitely a Boss, so he would definitely drop good stuff.
“Why aren’t you guys fighting him?” the man with the tanned face from Soaring Tiger Sect asked the Wudang Sect disciple beside him in a low whisper.
The Wudang Sect disciple did not shift his gaze away from the fight and just answered subconsciously. “That person called dibs, and all of us agreed to it.”
The expressions of the tanned-face man, Hidden Soul Guild’s leader, and a few people from Beggar’s Sect changed. They were stunned speechless.
The leader of Hidden Soul Guild moved close to Ouyang Qing and the two heavily injured staff-using monks and asked in a show of fake concern, “Brother Ouyang, what’s going on with you lot?”
Ouyang Qing did not suspect anything and answered with a wan smile. “I am truly regretful. I’ve been injured badly, so I won’t be able to move for a time.”
“Tsk, tsk, no wonder.”
The people from the three sects exchanged a look of realization. ‘I see, so that’s how it is. Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect are still injured, so they chose not to go up against the Boss.’
“Wait, that’s not right. Why is he the only one handling it? Why aren’t the people from Beautiful Robes Faction going up against him as well?”
When the tanned-faced man looked around, he noticed that Beautiful Robes Faction was still perfectly fine. Their force right then should be the best among the seven great sects.
“The Boss is really powerful. All of us suffered quite a bit of a loss against him. That brother is slightly stronger than us, so he can handle the boss. We were all saved by him just now…”
The newcomers were stunned.
They turned their heads around to look at the battlefield.
Dozens of seconds later, they lost interest in the fight. ‘He’s not really THAT good…’
The mysterious man’s attacks landed on Ninja King, but the latter did not even move. It was clearly a sign that his attacks were useless and his damage was minimal. In fact, he needed to rely on his body fortification to withstand Ninja King’s attacks. If they continued fighting back and forth like that, when would the battle come to an end?
“By the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be able to kill him as well,” the boss of Hidden Soul Guild said. There was an underlying meaning to his words.
Ouyang Qing sighed. “It seems like it’s not easy to deal with Ninja King.”
“Why don’t we go up and help him? We’ve rested for long enough and we’re restless now!” the tanned-faced man suddenly suggested.
Ouyang Qing was stunned.
Hidden Soul Guild’s boss and the people from Beggar’s Sect agreed to his suggestion.
“That’s right… We’re almost at the end of the royal mausoleum, and we didn’t really take any action. Let’s go!”
Before Ouyang Qing could say anything to stop them, the group shot out from the crowd and entered the battlefield!
When the people from Beggar’s Sect entered the battlefield, they cried out loudly, “Brother, if you continue to fight like this, you might not be able to produce any results. Why don’t we attack together?! To be fair, we’ll distribute the items evenly.”
“Let’s do that, then. Brothers, attack!”
*****
When the people from the three sects cut in, the tunnel instantly became crowded.
The disciples of Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple were dumbfounded as they watched from the back. Then, they registered the situation. The other sects definitely coveted Ninja King and had decided to kill-steal the Boss!
“Those shameless scum!”
However, Wudang Sect could be considered to be in decline right then. Even when they faced the three great system-allocated sects who seemed to have agreed to kill-steal the monster, they could not curse them out loud.
It was the same for Shaolin Temple’s staff-using monks.
The three sects might have been injured badly during the early stages of their raid in the royal mausoleum, but they still had more than one hundred people. If anyone offended them recklessly, the royal mausoleum might end up becoming a battlefield where the players fought each other to the death.
The two sects could only watch more than one hundred people rush to Ninja King. They scowled, but they could only let their anger burn in their hearts. They did not dare say anything!
“What’s the meaning of this?!”
But while the two sects did not dare say anything, it did not mean that the people from Beautiful Robes Faction would just ignore the situation.
This was especially so after they came to know the mysterious man’s real identity. When they saw the people from the three sects enter Happy’s battlefield with absolutely no shame, they were filled with indignation and began scolding them.
“Our friends from Soaring Tiger Sect, Hidden Soul Guild, and Beggar’s Sect, what’s the meaning of this? Are you here to kill-steal?” Phoenix Dances asked with a dark tone.
Dozens of powerful auras instantly rose from Beautiful Robes Faction. Everyone drew their weapons from their sheaths and went into battle positions. The tunnel swiftly filled with a powerful air of hostility.
One Circle’s body covered with the black body fortification armor. He held the metallic handle of the purplish-red greataxe with a tight and firm grip.
Beautiful Robes Faction’s actions immediately angered the three sects.
“What’s this?!”
“Ninja King isn’t yours either! Do you have anything to say about our actions?!”
“That’s right!”
“If we didn’t sacrifice so many of our people in the beginning, would you have been able to come here with such ease? You even got yourselves so many masterpieces!”
“Damn it! We fought with our lives and so many of our comrades died, and we didn’t get any rewards at all! Now that we’re here, we want to get some rewards, and you’re complaining?!”
“You lot have already gained enough from this, but what about us?! We didn’t even get a single thing! And now, you want to keep us out of this?!”
When the players from the three sects had come over, they already felt that the situation was incredibly unfair to them, so when they saw Beautiful Robes Faction’s reaction, they immediately reacted like a barrel of gunpowder being lit. All sorts of emotions burst into flames, and the hostility within them urging them to draw their weapons became even stronger. They looked as if they were about to engage Beautiful Robes Faction in a chaotic battle at the smallest of triggers.
At that moment, Happy noticed that there was something wrong with the situation from his position at the center of the battlefield.
He raised his hand and stopped his friends from Beautiful Robes Faction, who were prepared to approach him. He gave them a signal and spoke with his qi. His voice traveled clearly into the ears of all the people in the tunnel.
“Everyone, let’s be amiable to each other! Calm down, don’t let your anger control you. Everyone, you’ve already seen this, right? I can’t kill Ninja King alone. Why don’t we just have everyone who saw him share in his drops when we kill him?”
While he spoke, he took the initiative to increase his speed in getting out of the battlefield using the power of Ninja King’s punch.
When they saw Happy’s actions, not only did the eyes of the people from Beautiful Robes Faction light up, but the people from Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple also understood the situation.
‘This is bad.’
All of them quickly retreated.
A thought had struck them when they heard his words. When the people from the three factions had come over, Happy seemed to have begun to hold back and preserve his strength. He gave an average performance, giving off the feeling that he could not handle Ninja King alone, but that Ninja King was also someone who was nothing outstanding.
However, the people from Beggar’s Sect, Soaring Tiger Sect, and Hidden Soul Guild did not notice that it was a trap. They praised the mysterious man for understanding the situation.
“When you’re outside, you have to rely on your friends! Next time, when something comes up—”
“I like how frank you are, brother!”
They elbowed each other and rushed to the sparkling and golden Ninja King.
Ninja King had been trampled by Happy for some time, and he had quite a lot of killing intent and anger in his body.
When he saw Happy retreat and a large group of players rush to him, a mockery showed up in his eyes, and he instantly used his fist technique!
