Chapter 275: The Ninja King’s Clone Who Vanished?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A blue figure entered the depths of the second long tunnel in the royal mausoleum at the speed of lightning. After getting through the two levels in the beginning, the man often saw Knife-throwing Ninjas, Cloning Ninjas, and Japanese Ninjas moving about by themselves. There were few Shadow Warriors, and Shadow Ninjas could barely be found.

Happy naturally acted at the speed of lightning against those people who came to bother him. He killed with one hit, took their drops, and continued charging forward without stopping.

Hence, after him, all sorts of ninjas’ corpses could be found lying in the tunnel.

Usually, as long as they cleared the first two levels, the players would be able to obtain quite a lot of masterpieces and treasures from the boxes and feel quite satisfied.

However, the design of Yan Dynasty’s royal mausoleum was very complicated!

Not only had the designers calculated the possibility of tomb robbers eyeing the treasures inside, they had even calculated the possible reactions from the tomb robbers after they saw the treasures that had no traps and defenses set up for them.

They would naturally relax their guard and take all the treasures at will.

If they really did that, the date of their deaths would be right around the corner!

If they spent too much time at the first level of the royal mausoleum, when they discovered the entrance to the second level, it would be too late.

The second level was a world filled with traps and powerful puppets!

It was completely different from the first level and held the real treasure of the Yan Dynasty!

It was the heirloom seal and the tribute given to the former dynasty—Nation Protecting Divine Sword!

The ninjas who were used to concealing their presence and hiding could “co-exist” with the puppets, and as of then, they had formed the most terrifying trap. It had killed countless martial artists in Happy’s past life.

The second level of the royal mausoleum was not a place Happy could clear on his own!

He moved through the third main hall at lightning speed. When he arrived at a fork that was near the entrance to the second level of the royal mausoleum, several cold presences suddenly rose from different directions.

Four faint black shadows shot out from the different tunnels and surrounded Happy without a sound!

His expression changed slightly, and he came to a swift stop.

However, it could no longer stop the ambushers from launching their attack.

Black longswords thrust outward without a sound. They brought with them faint demonic presences and killing intent. At the moment they thrust toward Happy, they finally let out a faint sound!

Shadow Ninjas!

The Shadow Ninja who had retreated from the main hall of the royal mausoleum had finally attacked decisively when Happy was about to reach the end of the first level.

She had three more companions with her as well. They were also Shadow Ninjas, and their black longswords appeared from three other directions to attack Happy. They created a situation in which they could definitely kill Happy.

Petit Dragon!

A powerful and cold aura swiftly enveloped Happy’s body. It automatically adjusted itself and avoided the attacks based on how the four waves of aura came surging at him. The surges of qi in his body also affected the incoming force of the Shadow Ninjas’ attacks.

Whoosh!

Happy turned his face slightly, and a sword right before his eyes missed.

The second sword… the third sword… the fourth sword. Happy’s body continued to perform all sorts of ridiculously nimble twists one after another until all the sword strikes missed.

At the final moment, Happy moved out of the encirclement formed by the four Shadow Ninjas with their curvaceous bodies.

When he saw that the four Shadow Ninjas had finally decided to show themselves, Happy’s gaze turned cold, and he executed Dragon Capture with his left hand!

The Shadow Ninja who was the closest to him was instantly dragged into his grasp!

While the other three Shadow Ninjas swiftly hid themselves on the spot by turning into faint black shadows, the Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword quickly cut through the female ninja’s fair neck without any compassion for the woman.

Happy attacked resolutely, and his expression did not change.

Shadow Ninjas and Shadow Warriors might be ninjas in the same realm, but the latter were high-grade ninjas who could appear in the battlefield and face their enemies headon. Their were better in that regard. The former sacrificed even more of their defense to increase the lethality of their ambushes. Besides, even though the fact that they were soundless when they attacked was difficult to fight against, their speed was slightly slow.

To Happy, it was the most fatal weakness of the Shadow Ninjas!

When he saw the three black shadows backing away, he smiled and let go of the lifeless Shadow Ninja’s corpse. He activated his Phantasm Body Movement, and a wisp of green smoke shot past the three Shadow Ninjas’ bodies.

Whoosh!

At the moment the smoke passed by their bodies, the glare of Happy’s sword increased by leaps and bounds!

Three grunts came at the same time as blood sprayed in the tunnel.

Three black shadows staggered after being forced out of their concealment. Each of them had a horrifying wound on their sexy bodies covered by clothes. The trio was enraged. They hid themselves again and turned into faint black shadows before charging at Happy once more. They appeared to be completely unaffected by their injuries.

When it came to headon battles, Shadow Ninjas’ attacks could still be effective if they went up against players who did not have a lot of experience. But truthfully speaking, when it came to fighting against Happy, who had a lot of in-game fighting experience, their strength was far from enough.

After engaging in combat a few times, the three Shadow Ninjas were all injured, and their conditions swiftly became worse. As for Happy, aside from using up quite a lot of qi when he dealt with the ambush, he did not even need to activate his Golden Bell Cocoon. Once he gained the initiative and broke the Shadow Ninjas out of their hidden states, their first reaction was never to attack, but to hide themselves.

He seized that fatal weakness of the Shadow Ninjas and got rid of the three Shadow Ninjas with just a few moves. Then, he took a few exquisite looking Universe Bags from their bodies.

He dug through the drops and found only a few gold ingots, which were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs.

“Sure am unlucky.”

After he opened the third Universe Bag, Happy found some degree of psychological balance. He got a Black Demon Sword. It was a grade two masterpiece, and it increased 400 damage. Its effect was to absorb light. When it attacked, it would produce no sound. Also, it increased the chance of dealing a fatal strike by 5%. It could be considered the top of the crop among all grade two masterpieces. However, there was still some disparity in strength when it was compared to Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword.

In the final Universe Bag was a silver-black manual.

At the moment Happy saw it, he felt his heart shake, and he quickly grabbed the manual. There were three words sewn onto its covered in silver thread: Shadow Sword Technique.

‘Meh!’

Happy’s face filled with disappointment.

He had thought that his luck had suddenly decided to be extraordinarily good, and he had just gotten the Shadow Ninjas’ secret technique—Shadow Escape. It was a ninja art, and even though it was a low-grade normal technique, it was still quite effective at certain times. When his opponents were unprepared, he could throw a smoke bomb and have it explode in their faces.

Naturally, Shadow Sword Technique was still pretty good. It could be considered a secret technique, but also a martial art. Its damage was high, but each sword strike required a large amount of mental energy and qi. Happy would need to practice it a lot, and the qi as well as time required to master it would be much more than for normal secret techniques.

For example, Black Dragon Murder would require the user to use up five points of qi everytime they used it, and with his qi right then, Happy could execute it multiple times. However, Shadow Sword Technique was different. Every time he practiced it, he would need to get close to his target once he got into the zone of using that sword technique.

He would have to produce a slash that did not make a single sound, and it would use five to ten points of qi. The damage was not constant, and the jumps between damage were very great. It all depended on how well the user concealed the technique, and how accurately they delivered the fatal strike. However, this sort of sword technique that forced the user to not be able to face the enemy head on was completely different from the path Happy took, and it was par for the course that he did not like it!

He put away the loot and patted his sleeves, then took a turn as if he was strolling idly in his own courtyard. Within a quiet hall were four ancient longevity lamps that illuminated a staircase leading downwards. The doorway was square in shape, and it was dark behind it.

Happy reached the entrance to the second level of the royal mausoleum, but his expression instantly turned dark.

‘This isn’t good. Where is the Ninja King’s clone? It’s supposed to be at the first level.’
