Chapter 286: Retreated In Time!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

When Ninja King moved, Happy instantly shot out.

They practically shifted at the same time, and instantly changed places. One of them entered the tomb, and the other appeared outside.

Phantasm Body Movement Skill was a lightness skill that allowed the user to suddenly explode with speed, so they could be as fast as phantoms. When Ninja King noticed that his prey was gone, Happy charged out of the tomb with a bang. He activated his qi realm, and his speed increased swiftly! With a few quick jumps, he managed to reach the end of the room. Then, with a push, he quickly appeared in a tunnel that was one hundred and nine yards away.

“Hmph!”

But who was Ninja King? There was no way he would willingly let a treasure as great as Nation Protecting Divine Sword be taken away by a nameless martial artist from China and disappear right in front of his eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, he faced quite a lot of trouble in his chase. When he turned around, the three general puppets had all struck at him at lightning speed. They cut off his retreat, forcing him to temporarily evade their attacks.

He had to halt for a second before he could bypass the puppets and rush out of the tomb.

When he appeared at the corner, he found that Happy had long since ran into another tunnel. He’d done it so fast that it filled Ninja King with rage. He growled and vanished from the tunnel like a plume of smoke, leaving the three puppets behind him alone.

*****

The disciples from the four sects had a few puppets surrounded in a tunnel through which Happy had went.

Clang, clang, clang!

They were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Flap, flap, flap!

When another messenger pigeon landed in Phoenix Dances’ hands, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she swiftly opened the letter, and her expression changed!

“What’s wrong?”

The people around her swiftly noticed the drastic change in Phoenix Dances’ expression. They revealed surprised expressions and surrounded her.

There were six words in the letter and two exclamation marks. This made everyone’s expressions change.

“Let’s go!”

The Three Lonely Wolves scowled, but they acted without hesitation.

They knew Happy well. If he had not run into something that was incredibly urgent or dangerous, he would absolutely not send such a short letter.

When they thought about it in depth, there might only be one person in the royal mausoleum who had the ability to make Happy, who had defeated Ninja King’s Clone, to be in danger—the real deal.

All the members of Beautiful Robes Faction quickly received Phoenix Dances’ orders.

“What’s going on?”

The people from the other three sects noticed that the situation was off, and Yue Hua and Ouyang Qing approached her hastily.

The people from Beautiful Robes Faction did not hide anything. They swiftly told them their concerns!

The leaders’ expressions changed, and they hastened to shout their orders.

“Stop!”

“Retreat!”

“Stop fighting! Retreat to the entrance! Hurry!”

The trauma they suffered from the bloody slaughter Ninja King’s clone delivered to the three sects at the first level of the royal mausoleum still remained fresh in their minds. Once they heard that Ninja King might be chasing after Happy, they were immediately unable to remain calm and quickly sent orders to their people.

A small number of players in the battlefield still did not know what had happened. When they saw that the soldier puppets before them had one last breath in them, they focused their attention on them, and their reactions to the orders were slightly slow. They wanted to land a few more strikes before they left. But at that moment, they suddenly heard warnings delivered by qi from the distance in the tunnel.

“GO! HURRY UP AND LEAVE!”

Before Happy even arrived, his voice reached everyone!

The urgent warning was like rolling thunder that traveled into everyone’s ears.

The expressions of people lagging behind instantly changed.

‘They’re here so soon?!’

“Go!”

“Forget about them! We have to leave first!”

They activated their lightness skills, and with the fastest speed they could muster, they returned to the entrance.

When they noticed that the situation was off, the people lagging behind finally realized that they were in danger. They ignored the soldier puppets chasing after them and turned tail and ran.

Fortunately, they were not far away from the tunnel.

When they reached the semi-circular hall, the group that had been lagging behind finally saw Happy appear from behind a corner. Ninja King came right after him. He was shining in all his golden glory that made him look like a mechanical warrior.

“Get in!”

The sects sucked in sharp breaths. As expected, Happy had run into Ninja King.

The large group of people entered the semi-circular hall in a panic and held their breaths…

Whoosh!

Right when a flash of yellow rushed past the tunnel, Ninja King stopped for a moment. His cold gaze swept over the people from the four sects, but he did not waste a lot of time on them. He swiftly went after Happy, who rushed to the other end of the tunnel.

“Whew!”

“It’s Ninja King!”

“We’re saved…”

A few seconds after Ninja King left, the group released a sigh of relief. They looked as if they had just escaped a disaster.

When Ninja King came over, they felt like they had danced with Death’s scythe pressed against their necks. Their hearts pumped so quickly that they got stuck in their throats.

“Thank goodness Happy warned us on time, or else we would have died in that place…”

When they recalled the situation just then, everyone shuddered even though it was not cold!

If they had been a wee bit slower, rivers of blood might have flowed in the tunnel.

“That’s the real Ninja King?! That one gaze from him already made my soul almost leave my body! He’s way stronger than his clone!”

The group had still not calmed down. Their hearts still pounded with fear.

Only the people from Beautiful Robes Faction were uneasy. Every single person from the faction had worry written on their faces.

Even though they had been relieved from danger, Happy had still not shaken off Ninja King. With his speed, he might be able to catch up to Happy at any moment. However, Happy seemed to be able to dodge his attacks as if he had predicted them ahead of time.

But could he keep fleeing? There would come a time when his qi would be depleted!

And Happy himself had once said that he was not Ninja King’s opponent.

“Phoenix Dances, should we…” Butt Shaker turned to face his faction master.

Phoenix Dances seemed to know what he wanted to say. She scowled and shook her head with a grave expression. “It’s useless. Even if we go, we won’t be able to help…”

“I’ll go!” One Circle suggested loudly.

“Your body fortification might be good, but you already had a hard time when you went up against Ninja King’s clone. You won’t be able to last even a few hits when you face the real Ninja King. Even if you go, it won’t make a difference.”

Phoenix Dances shook her head again.

The people from the other three sects looked at the people from Beautiful Robes Faction with surprised expressions. Why did they seem to be even more in a panic when Happy was the one in danger?

“Happy took the initiative to send a letter telling us to leave because he knew that we wouldn’t be able to help him. I think that we should let him handle the situation. He might have a solution.”

Young Lonely White’s words attracted everyone’s attention. After all, he was Happy’s dormmate and one of the people there who understood Happy the most. His words were even more convincing than those of Phoenix Dances.

“Besides, you saw it as well just now. Those soldiers in the second level of the royal mausoleum won’t take the initiative to attack Happy., so he’ll temporarily be free of danger. Think, even if we want to go, we’d have to get through the soldiers first!”

The players were instantly rendered silent.

At that moment, only one person among the people from Beautiful Robes Faction had a complicated expression. She did not say anything since the start, but her expression was very strange!

Naturally, that person was Little Jade.

The brilliance she usually had because of her beauty had been weakened when she stood among Phoenix Dances, Glutinous Rice, and the beautiful mistresses from Emei Sect. She had become no different from a normal player.

If Happy died in the second level of the royal mausoleum once, it would be a good thing for her. At the very least, she would not need to be as conflicted as she was right then because she did not know how to handle the matters.

Little Jade sighed without making a sound.
