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.

Phoenix Dances and her group retreated to the fork behind them and continued to head into the depths.

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 sucked 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.

Bang!

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 chest.

Happy's reaction was incredibly quick. He crossed his arms over his chest.

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 chest 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.

But a fraction of a second before his fingers could touch it, a dark yellow figure snatched the dragon seal from the ground!

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!

A loud bang rose up.

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

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!
