266 Astonishing Attacks (1/2)
The Three Lonely Wolves did not expose Happy's identity.
They were as sharp as nails, and they knew that since Happy did not take the initiative to come out and reveal his identity, then that cheeky bastard definitely had his own plans. Besides, they could still handle the situation before them. Beautiful Robes Faction did not face any great danger, and they did not need Happy to show himself.
If he actually appeared with the status of an elite from the Famous People Rank, he would destroy the balance between the seven great system-allocated sects in the royal mausoleum. Under the temptation of benefits urging them on, perhaps the other six sects would work together to fight against Beautiful Robes Faction so that they could prevent them from monopolizing all the resources in the royal mausoleum.
The three wolves stayed silent in a great show of cooperation. They followed behind the group and occasionally cast the boy with the blood and dirt on his face mischievous and cunning gazes.
The Shadow Ninja's disappearance caused the group in the main hall of the royal mausoleum to be enveloped in an atmosphere known as ”danger”. Everyone was in peril. Even the people who worked together to fight against the Shadow Warriors had to divert their attention, which made them lose the advantage they previously had so that they could prioritize defense and protecting themselves.
Whoosh!
Happy also held his breath.
Using Smoke Bombs was indeed the best way for the Shadow Ninja to free herself and hide. At that moment, trying to locate her while the situation in the main hall of the royal mausoleum was complicated and the lighting was bad was extremely difficult.
If Beautiful Robes Faction had not joined the operation, Happy would not feel too pressured, but right then, the people who went up against Shadow Ninja were his coursemates. He did not dare to be negligent and relax.
The Shadow Ninja's ninja arts might not let her conceal herself as well as Dead She-wolf could, but her combat abilities were not bad. It was especially so for the slashes she executed while she was invisible. Their damage was very high, and she could easily kill a large group of Blessed Realm players in one go. She also posed a life-threatening danger to Mystical Realm players whose body fortifications were not at a high realm.
Happy's eyes moved quickly.
He did not dare to be negligent and swept his gaze across the corpses strewn everywhere in the hall and shadows cast by the stone pillars.
The Shadow Ninja was unlike normal ninjas. She had powerful concealment abilities, and she could even adjust her battle tactics based on the situation around her. Her intellect was also high.
Once she felt that she was in danger, she would use a rather reserved and safe battle tactic, where she would slowly reduce the number of enemies at the edge of the battlefield. Hence, temporarily moving away from the center of the hall, to which everyone paid the most attention, and to a place nearby would give Happy the highest chance to locate her.
At that moment, the warning bells in his mind rang loudly.
Cold wind brushed past his body, and a small ball rose from his body.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared behind him. It showed up along with a black Tsurugi that came slashing down at him!
A group of people nearby who had been circulating their qi to heal their injuries noticed the unlucky blue-robed young man straight away. Their expressions changed, and they cried out in surprise.
”Careful!”
The Three Lonely Wolves had been paying attention to Happy's actions, and they were just in time to witness everything. They saw the black longsword slice through the air, about to cut Happy without a sound!
Upon seeing it, their expressions changed at the same time. They cried out loudly to warn him and shocked the people around them. They thought that the Shadow Ninja had appeared in their midst.
Whoosh!
The black Tsurugi sliced downwards to cut Happy's body in half.
However, the feeling of not hitting anything made a hint of astonishment and disbelief appear on the Shadow Ninja's face!
Her strike that made her break out of her concealment but which always killed someone had been seen through by a normal and inconspicuous warrior with a low qi realm?!
How could this be?!
At that moment, people in the main hall located the Shadow Ninja again!
However, they saw something even more bizarre—the figure that appeared behind her!
Just when everyone thought that the blue-robed young man would definitely die, they noticed that the figure which had been cut in half was an afterimage. Immediately after, the real body appeared behind the Shadow Ninja without any sign or warning.
The face that was covered in blood and dirt had a pair of eyes that shone resolutely like stars. In an instant, the sight of them was frozen within many people's minds!
All of the people from the seven great system-allocated sects were surprised, but also excited.
'So fast!'
The eyes of the beautiful mistresses from Emei Sect sparkled!
