Chapter 288: Survival in the Crack

First, they lost the Guardian Sword of the Nation; then, despite repeated attacks, they failed to take it. Even the Imperial Seal guarded by the old hero was taken away by Happy. A powerful being at the Liberation Realm was being toyed with like this by a young man from the Central Plains at the Mysterious Realm. The King of Endurance was not only filled with rage but also felt an indescribable sense of shame.

Even when the old hero turned around, it was already too late to stop the King of Endurance from deciding to kill Happy and reclaim the Guardian Sword of the Nation and the Imperial Seal!

Whoosh!
His figure disappeared once again from its original spot.

But the old hero was no pushover either. Now that the Imperial Seal had been taken, his only goal in life was to kill any enemy visible from the second floor of the royal tomb!

With a flash of sword light, the old hero appeared before the King of Endurance. His aged body, as hard as iron, took the blow on behalf of Happy, remaining unharmed. His sword left deep marks on the golden armor, sending the King of Endurance flying once more.

The King of Endurance was strong!
But compared to the old hero, he was clearly inferior. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hesitated until now without attacking the Imperial Seal…

However, the King of Endurance also knew full well that the old hero not only had extraordinary strength but was also fearless in the face of death—someone he couldn’t withstand. So, he didn’t want to engage in a prolonged fight. After feigning a move, he slipped past the old hero like a ghost and struck Happy with a palm from afar!

Still coming?!

Happy’s face turned pale. Gritting his teeth, he used the Dragon Form, finally avoiding another failed evasion. He crushed a Jade Dew Pill and activated his Illusion Demon Technique, instantly moving behind the old hero.

Cunning!
Although the King of Endurance couldn’t speak the language of the Central Plains, his angry gaze clearly showed his frustration.

The old hero might not actively protect Happy, but he would never hold back when attacking the King of Endurance. After that attack, the King of Endurance was struck again. With a sudden flash of sword light, his body crashed heavily onto the jade platform and slammed into the wall.

The old hero rushed in immediately!

Happy felt heartbroken watching this. With his serious injuries and the Jade Dew Pills unable to heal him quickly, it was impossible for him to escape far if he left the tomb. Seeing the old hero ignore him and charge ahead, he had no choice but to follow bravely, swallowing a few more Jade Dew Pills. With the Silver WolfPoohuang Sword Sword Sword across his chest, he was ready to resist to the end.

Whoosh!
Although the King of Endurance seemed pitiful, his injuries weren’t too severe thanks to his golden armor. He swiftly emerged from the chaotic rocks and engaged the old hero head-on. After feinting an attack, he appeared like a ghost on Happy’s left side.

Without hesitation, he slammed down his palm with lightning speed!
The brutality of the strike showed that Kai Xin had already provoked theNin King’s true fury, desperate to utterly destroy him in every moment.
But!
TheNin King never expected that Kai Xin had long been prepared to make a desperate move. Seeing theNin King charging forward, instead of retreating, he countered with the Dragon Seizing Hand!
The Dragon Seizing Hand!
It exerted remarkable control over acupoints and meridians.
Though it couldn’t control an opponent two realms stronger than himself, that brief pause still had the same effect as before—the moment theNin King’s arm was seized, most of his strength vanished… The remaining strength still made Kai Xin’s face flush and blood drip from his lips.
A momentary pause.
Kai Xin didn’t hesitate; he quickly released his grip and darted behind the old hero.
Without surprise, theNin King was flung away once again by the old hero. This time, two consecutive swords struck the unsuspectingNin King. Amidst the shrill sound of metal, blood seeped from beneath his helmet.
TheNin King was injured!
Kai Xin’s spirits soared.
But on the other hand, he didn’t dare slack off. Dragging his wounded body, he sat in seiza position and activated the Star Breathing Technique.
Now that theNin King was injured and driven out of the mausoleum, given the old hero’s stubbornness and strength, it would take theNin King some time to break free.
Right now, making the most of every second by practicing the Star Breathing Technique would help heal his wounds!
Sure enough!
TheNin King could hardly accept what had just happened—his fatal strike had been cleverly deflected by a mere insect-like existence, causing him even more damage.
In that brief moment of confusion, he took two consecutive sword strikes. The old hero’s relentless swordplay formed a Bagua pattern in the passage—endless and graceful, yet filled with immense power.
TheNin King’s expression changed drastically!
Not daring to confront his sharpness head-on, he stepped back dozens of meters, moving further away from the mausoleum.
Unexpectedly!
Two long halberds suddenly appeared around the corner. Before he could react, the old hero seized the opportunity, adding more wounds to theNin King with his fierce sword strikes.
The once-greatNin King!
He was no longer the golden war god he once was. His golden armor was dented in over a dozen places, with mottled crimson blood stains on the chest plate. His movements were chaotic, completely at a disadvantage against the old hero.
Finally, he could no longer bear it. He quickened his steps, leaped like a fish, and landed ten meters away.
Before the old hero could catch up, he crossed his arms, and with a “pop,” a cloud of smoke rose from the spot as he vanished swiftly.

The old swordsman’s expression changed, and he suddenly turned urgently toward the mausoleum, shouting fiercely, “Stubborn wretch!”
Sure enough!
The figure of theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King appeared dozens of meters away from the mausoleum entrance, darting along both sides of the wall before swiftly entering the mausoleum!
It was still Happy…
The somewhat disheveledNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King glared angrily at the even more disheveled Happy, throwing a punch through the air while continuing to move at full speed, reaching Happy in an instant.
At this moment,
Taking advantage of the twenty-odd seconds the old swordsman had spent repelling theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King, Happy had already somewhat suppressed his injuries, and with the help of the valuable Jade Dew Pills, his internal energy had returned to its peak.
Seeing theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King chase back into the mausoleum, Happy calmly opened his eyes!
Boom!
His remaining afterimage was shattered by a punch;
Although theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King caught up to Happy’s true form, wasn’t Happy also prepared? Activating his Dragon Form, he dodged theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King’s close-range kick like a loach, effortlessly escaping theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King’s grasp and landing outside the mausoleum.
“His speed has slowed down.”
Happy stared at theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King’s back, quickly swallowing a Jade Dew Pill, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
By now, theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King should be becoming more cautious. If he continued to take injuries, his condition might drop to a life-or-death level… He remembered that under such circumstances, theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King would tend to avoid battle, and at this moment, theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King was the most difficult to deal with.
“…”
Happy fell silent for a moment.
What he needed to worry about now wasn’t his own safety. With his Dragon Form, it was already difficult for the current-stateNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King to kill him in one strike. What he needed to prevent was theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King from escaping.
The old swordsman and theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King had fought for so long, almost risking their lives several times, just to wear down theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King until he was injured. If theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King got away and had the chance to recover his strength, it would be hard to recreate such conditions again.
Thinking this, Happy’s gaze sharpened as he stared at theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King’s body. Silently, he put away the Silver WolfPoohuang Sword Sword Sword and took out the “Right Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King.”
With his current internal energy and Golden Bell Shield state, he could still risk a direct confrontation with theNin King King translates to “Nin King” or “Shinobi King”. King…
