261 Wall Breaks! Blood Soaked Hall in Royal Mausoleum

Boom!

With the protection provided by One Circle's domineering defensive divine martial art, a loud bang rose, and the people finally crushed Green Ghost Face Wall, which had taken away the lives of more than one hundred disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects.

Green Ghost Face Wall lasted for a few minutes while receiving the crazed onslaught from the players. At the moment it finally crumbled, everyone put on a relaxed smile that spoke of them being released of their burden!

However, when the wall lowered itself and the tunnel was opened to the people, numerous ninjas with plenty of throwing knives in their hands appeared without a sign!

In an instant, everyone froze!

The smiles that had just appeared instantly froze. Then, they were swiftly replaced by great shock, terror, and anger.

There were more than thirty ninjas in the tunnel!

They were dressed in the standard way for ninjas. Their gazes were cold, and they had their arms crossed over their chests. In their hands, they held the thin throwing knives, which made everyone's expressions change because of familiarity with the weapons. Each of the throwing knives shone with a cold and intimidating glare.

When the players, including One Circle, saw the countless white throwing knives reflected in the ninja's eyes, a powerful chill rose in their hearts, and the moment they saw the tunnel, all of them instantly understood what was going on.

It was not a trap! It was simply a barrier set up by the ninjas at the entrance of the royal mausoleum because they wanted to steal from it!

"Dodge!"

The thirteen staff-using monks' expressions changed swiftly!

With a loud roar, the disciples from the seven sects retreated at the same time. They circulated their qi realms wildly so that they could mend their body fortification true qi, which had suffered from different degrees of damage, in a frenzy.

Shick! Shick! Shick! Shick!

The moment the disciples from the seven sects shot away from the tunnel, the ninjas put on savage expressions. With a flick of their wrists, countless shiny throwing knives filled the tunnel, and the players were followed by the sound of air being sliced.

At the instant the throwing knives left the tunnel, they split into three!

The white throwing knives swiftly occupied everyone's field of vision, turning it completely white. The knives flew in different trajectories, dazzling everyone. They were caught off guard.

Screams of pain rose and fell!

The thirteen staff-using monks were no different. Most of them were injured badly and fell from the sky.

While the Wudang Sect disciples had pretty good lightness skills, their defensive skills were slightly inferior. Hence, when the throwing knives came them from a close distance, they simply could not break free from the dazzling light. They were killed in the air.

If even Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect suffered some losses, it was even more so for the other sects.

The people from Soaring Tiger Sect were beaten like dogs. More than thirty of them were pierced full of holes by the throwing knives, and their blood flew all over the place.

Hidden Soul Guild and Beggar's Sect's losses were not as great as those of Soaring Tiger Sect, but after two rounds of attacks, they had lost more than half of their men, and the loss was devastating.

Emei Sect was too shocked by One Circle and Phoenix Dances' appearances as well as Beautiful Robes Faction's strength. They were also not willing to mix together with Soaring Tiger Sect and Beggar's Sect, so they stood further back, and the damage they suffered was practically null.

One Circle took the initiative to swing his Arhat Axe at the moment the incident occurred, and he managed to protect all of his people from Beautiful Robes Faction. The constant throwing knives hitting the Arhat Axe created brilliant sparks!

The sound of metal clashing against metal was loud and came in a continuous stream!

In One Circle's hands, the Arhat Axe had a 50% chance of blocking all attacks, and the strength of adding two hundred weapon defense points was completely brought to light. The young fatty was like Vajrapani. He swung his greataxe and withstood the pressure. He managed to block most of the throwing knives and sent them flying.

But even if some of them went past him, they were all sent flying away by Butt Shaker, the Three Lonely Wolves, and the others. The threat they faced was incredibly low…

Under One Circle's protection, Beautiful Robes Faction retreated behind a stone pillar.

The other sects were in a more miserable state. All of them either died or went behind a pillar to recover from their grave injuries!

The total death count was not any lesser than when the wall was not down.

But that was to be expected.

Previously, the number of throwing knives that shot out from the holes in Ghost Face Wall was limited because there were only that many holes. The wall had been broken, however, and all the ninjas with their throwing knives acted like tigers who had broken out of their shackles. Their damage and level of threat had doubled. It was then only to be expected that the players could not withstand the sudden ambush.

However, fortunately for them, they still had people who had relatively good abilities. They also had people who were very good with their defensive moves standing in front of them, just like the thirteen staff-using monks and One Circle. If they did not have them, after that round of attacks, their death count might be double what it was then.

"Emei Sect, do you people intend to have all of us die before you attack?!"

Even though Soaring Tiger Sect was slightly indignant over the fact that Beautiful Robes Faction had suffered no damages, they had shown abilities that proved that they were no ordinary student sect. It was then not wise to offend them.

A few of the ladies from Emei Sect immediately retorted in a show that they were not willing to be mocked when they heard Soaring Tiger Sect ridiculing them.

"The tunnel is only so big, where are we supposed to go?"

"You're the ones who didn't notice them and got into this situation, and you're blaming us? When we entered the royal mausoleum, you lot didn't make way for us so that we could enter before you. What now? Are you regretting your decision?"

"That's right!"

"Hmph!"

"Despicable!"

When the group of beautiful girls retorted like chirping birds, the men from Soaring Tiger Sect instantly grew angry.

The other sects did not say anything about it.

When the royal mausoleum was activated, they were indeed a little hasty and ignored the dangers that might possibly lurk inside. When they thought about it, they could indeed not blame Emei Sect.

Around ten people were killed by the throwing knives again while the two sides argued, and they lay dead on the ground.

The atmosphere in the royal mausoleum instantly became even more dangerous and horrifying.

"Everyone!" Ouyang Qing's voice rose again. "It's not the time to argue about such things. I hope that all of you will set aside your prejudices against each other and work together to destroy the ninjas in the tunnel, or else, if we just rely on our own sect's abilities, none of us will be able to pass!"

"The brother from Wudang Sect is right."

A few people from Shaolin Temple's thirteen staff-using monks agreed while protecting their injured brothers who were quickling healing themselves.

At that moment, the disadvantage in numbers of Shaolin Temple became even clearer.

However, the people from the other sects also had that problem right then.

"Our comrades from Mount Hua Sect!" At that moment, someone from Beggar's Sect suddenly spoke up loudly. "One companion of yours has the most outstanding defensive moves among our seven sects. Why don't you have him take the lead, and we'll follow after to rush into the tunnel?"

Right after he finished speaking, someone from Beautiful Robes Faction immediately shouted back in disdain. "Are you crazy?! It's useless no matter how great his body fortification is! There are dozens of ninjas inside! If you're so good, why don't you go in and take a walk around? Don't go thinking that we're easy to bully just because we're students and don't have as much experience as you do!"

NotaRascal paused for a moment, then snorted coldly. "If you want us to become cannon fodder, you can dream on."

His words made the person from Beggar's Sect flush red with embarrassment.

"That's not what I meant…"

"Hmph, you can forget about explaining yourself."

When the people from the other sects saw it, they grew anxious. The throwing knives continued flying all over the hall, and the situation was becoming worse. People were dying with every passing moment.

When a person behind the entire group saw that the sects all harbored the thought of waiting for Beautiful Robes Faction to take action and take the lead, that person—who no one could identify—spoke loudly. "Just because they can fire long-range projectiles doesn't mean you can't too!"

The arguments in the hall instantly vanished, and the sudden suggestion freed the players from being stuck in their thoughts!

'That's right!'

They were previously blocked by Ghost Face Wall, but it had collapsed, and the enemies were in the tunnel. If they just shot back, the ninjas inside would no longer have any sort of advantage against them.

The people from the seven sects brought out their arrows, throwing knives, and hidden weapons.

Only a few Wudang Sect disciples who were near the person who spoke cast a glance at him. He was dressed in blue robes, and there was a bit of blood on his face while he grinned foolishly. They gave him a thumbs up.
