Chapter 273: High-tier Throwing Knife Technique—Shadowless Knife

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pant… pant…”

Happy pressed his sword against his knees once he sat down cross-legged. Then, he activated Constellation Breathing Technique so that he could restore himself. After the vigorous exercise drained him of his stamina, he was left only with exhaustion and sweat.

He had actually underestimated these ninjas and overestimated his own stamina!

The him in his previous life could really get rid of a group of ninjas like that without breaking a sweat. But his abilities right then were away from those in his previous life. He still needed to use Dragon Capture to kill every Shadow Warrior, and he could only kill them after attacking twice. However, he was only in Mystical Realm, so there was no way he could handle squandering qi like that.

If it were not for the fact that he had prepared many Dew Pills and his Golden Bell Cocoon realm was high, handling the four Shadow Warriors would have been his limit! He would not have been able to kill the other enemies, such as the Shadow Ninjas or Ninja King.

As for the remaining dozens of Cloning Ninjas, Japanese Ninjas, and Knife-throwing Ninjas, they were not that difficult to deal with. When they were all lured to one place, Happy killed the few Cloning Ninjas instantly. He also dealt with all the Knife-throwing Ninjas with another Seven Stars Brilliant Moon. However, the recovery effects of the Dew Pill were almost not fast enough in restoring his qi, and he overdrew on it.

If a Shadow Ninja had shown up after that, he probably would have died right there!

Fortunately, the cunning Shadow Ninja never showed up.

Happy relied on the astonishing recovery speed of Constellation Breathing Technique, and in a few minutes, he returned to the peak of his condition!

When he looked at the bodies of the ninjas that filled the tunnel, he was impressed with himself. With his power in Mystical Realm, he had managed to gain victory at the cost of twenty Dew Pills.

If he told anyone about it, they might not believe him!

Of course, if he told this to Lu Mingyue, who was the successor of an ultimate technique that had insanely good long-range and group battle abilities, he would not find it so amazing.

When he remembered the successor of Sunflower Manual who did his best to learn Dongfang Bubai’s coquettish behavior so that his abilities would increase by leaps and bounds, Happy’s agitated heart swiftly calmed down.

Whoosh!

Happy stood up from the ground.

He cast a glance at the Knife-throwing Corpses that were the closest to him, then slowly went over to them and collected their Universal Bags in a familiar motion. After that, he brought out all the items inside them.

Then, he went to the Japanese Ninjas, Cloning Ninjas, and Shadow Warriors.

His rewards were great!

He obtained four Bamboo Hats, the Whirlwind Boots, and Three-pronged Halberd the Cloning Ninjas used, along with fourteen sets of the Knife-throwing Ninjas’ Soaring Eagle Sword.

Tachis, Katanas, and Tsurugis were all grade two or grade three masterpieces. He had two of each, and the sabers as well as swords were all very valuable too. He could sell all of them for a good price.

However, what Happy paid attention to the most were not those masterpieces, but the high-tier throwing knife manual the Knife-throwing Ninjas had dropped—Shadowless Knife.

It came at the perfect timing.

Happy had once placed an ad to buy a high-tier throwing knife manual in the commission shop once he mastered his lancet knives, but unfortunately for him, he never managed to find a manual. The one before him could be considered to have settled some of his regrets.

He put away his loot and turned his head around to cast a glance at the square-shaped hall.

There was a group of ninjas inside there along with a weapon box that had yet to be opened .

He reckoned that the people from the four great sects should have arrived by then. He had already taken a lot of spoils, so it was about time for him to distribute some of whatever was left to the others. Besides, there was still a lot of treasures left in the royal mausoleum.

He pondered over it for a while, but he did not go back. He walked past the corpses that were strewn all over the ground and headed into the depths of the royal mausoleum with great resolve.

*****

Shortly after, the people from Beautiful Robes Faction came to the place where Happy’s battle with the ninjas had ended a short while ago under One Circle’s lead.

On their way, they saw more than seventy or so corpses lying all over the tunnel. The surprise on Phoenix Dances and the others’ faces grew greater, and they did not dare believe in their eyes.

Cloning Ninjas and Knife-throwing Ninjas were all difficult to deal with. And yet, their bodies were everywhere, and they even found a few Shadow Warriors too!

Phoenix Dances wanted to believe that the ninjas had been wiped out by a huge group. It was a little difficult to imagine that something like that could have been done by a single person.

Thud, thud, thud, thud…

The thirteen staff-using monks rushed over with Emei Sect and Wudang Sect, who had come after them after they heard about it. When they caught up, they saw the situation in the tunnel, and all of them showed surprise on their faces.

Uniform sounds of people sucking in sharp breaths rose in the tunnel.

“Did he… do all of this alone?”

The disciples of Wudang Sect had solemn expressions. A degree of respect and incredulity appeared in their eyes.

It was the same for Yue Hua and the thirteen staff-using monks.

“That should be the case.”

“It’s no wonder why he didn’t take the equipment in the hall. No matter who it is, they won’t have the energy to spare to take care of the equipment if they are chased by so many ninjas. But how did he manage to do this?!”

At that moment, even the Three Lonely Wolves could not accept what they saw, even if they knew that Happy was very strong.

They had come to have a great understanding of the strength of the ninjas in the royal mausoleum. Cloning Ninjas were very troublesome, Knife-throwing Ninjas were shameless, and Shadow Warriors required a whole party before they could be dealt with.

No one said anything.

A strange atmosphere spread through the tunnel.

Wudang Sect’s Ouyang Qing pondered over the situation for a moment before he said in a steadfast manner, “Everyone, this is definitely not a nameless player. Think, is there anyone on the Dragon Rank or Famous People Rank who could do this?”

When they were reminded of this by Ouyang Qing, the people put on thoughtful expressions.

“Right now, the top player on Dragon Rank is Old Smoker from Beijing. He has five high-tier martial arts at Grandmaster Realm. Also, Class One Hall has two vice hall masters who has such strength. But it’d be rather easy to recognize those people. The person just now was very young. He shouldn’t be them.”

“There are a few great players in Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace. They might be able to do this!” someone reminded said.

But soon, one of the thirteen staff-using monks refuted it. “That’s impossible.”

When he saw the people’s gazes gather on him, the bald monk explained himself without his expression changing. “Chivalry Sect’s Red Dust is a Shaolin Temple disciple, so we know him very well! Even if he received Sweeping Monk’s legacy, and his abilities increased, the requirements for qi when it comes to his ultimate technique are very high, and the time for which it can be activated is very short! Besides, his body fortification is not great enough for him to handle so many ninjas and Shadow Warriors. Even if he’s the successor of an ultimate technique, if he didn’t employ any unique methods, he won’t be able to do this!”

He paused for a moment, then continued. “Lin Xiao, Blood Robes, and Barren Murderer’s abilities are nearly equivalent to each other. I’m certain that they couldn’t do this as well.”

The disciples from the four sects took his words with a pinch of salt.

“Who else can it be aside from the people from Dragon Rank?”

“Why are you people trying to guess his identity? If you’re going to spend so much effort in guessing his identity, then why don’t you just catch up to him and ask him? You’ll know it then.”

Yue Hua’s words shocked all of the people in the tunnel. The disciples from the other three sects looked at each other and smiled wanly.

‘Ask him in his face?’

They might be able to learn of his identity if the person was good-tempered, but if he had a bad temper, then based on his abilities, he would get rid of all of them.

No one in the group noticed Little Jade’s strange and grave expression when she looked at the ninjas’ corpses ahead of her in a daze.

‘Is Happy stronger than Blood Robes and Barren Murderer, who has four high-tier martial arts at Grandmaster Realm?’
