Chapter 361: Countering with the Same Strategy

The first level of the Wangling has always had the highest death rate. Whenever someone enters the Wangling, they are immediately attacked by the Flying Dagger Ninjas. Those who enter first face the most concentrated fire and are the most likely to perish!

During the past ten-odd days since the Wangling was opened, many people deliberately avoided being the first to enter, allowing reckless youths or those who thought they were strong enough to go in first. Even so… those who entered first almost always died.

Although the Flying Dagger Ninjas were only at the Creation Realm, their ability to split their daggers into multiple projectiles was deadly. Their frequent and intense attacks were hard even for experts like “Yitong” to withstand, let alone ordinary masters.

There was no place to hide in the Wangling’s hall. After several rounds of attacks, most people either had their protective barriers broken or died from exhausting their internal energy.

Lu Mingyue forced Happy alone into the Wangling and then waited at the entrance, aiming to keep Happy inside for as long as possible so he could endure more rounds of attacks from the Flying Dagger Ninjas.

Although Happy had shown remarkable defensive skills before, Lu Mingyue still believed he couldn’t be that strong—Happy must have his limits. So, even if she couldn’t kill him this time, she wanted to waste a large amount of his medicinal pills and deal him a serious blow.

It had to be said—Lu Mingyue’s strategy was extremely cunning!

But Lu Mingyue never expected that Happy had already anticipated this upon entering the Wangling. In his past life, similar incidents had occurred many times. When attacking the Wangling, several gangs would jointly block the entrance, causing all those who entered first to perish. Only after exhausting the enemies would they enter in an orderly manner.

When Lu Mingyue intensified the attacks, Happy saw through her plans. Without revealing his intentions, he countered with the same strategy!

Entering the Wangling…

The light around him dimmed, and Happy soon heard the continuous sound of flying daggers tearing through space coming from ahead!

Boom!!

The Golden Bell Shield activated, with an ancient golden bell appearing around him. With a continuous “ding-ding-dang” sound, the flying daggers were intercepted, falling to the ground, shattered, and deformed.

Not daring to delay, Happy quickly changed into the Silver Dragon Set and grabbed the Gentleman’s Sword. Ignoring the countless blindingly fast flying daggers heading his way, he rushed full speed toward the Ghost Face Wall.

Boom!!!

With a single sword strike, he carved a shocking gash in the Ghost Face Wall. Behind the deep fissure, the cold faces of a group of Flying Dagger Ninjas could be faintly seen.

Without slowing down, he swung several swords in an instant, and a gap appeared quickly in the Ghost Face Wall—allowing people to pass through. The Seven-Star Sword Technique at the Grandmaster level had a killing power of over 2,500, while the Gentleman Sword Technique had 500. By activating the Mysterious Realm and increasing attack power by 30%, the killing power rose to over 3,900. After creating the gap, Happy didn’t continue. With one sword strike, the sword light rushed through the gap into the crowd behind the Ghost Face Wall, killing two throwing knife ninjas on the spot. Taking advantage of the chaos, Happy slipped in like a ghost. The Wangling Hall instantly fell silent. Meanwhile, inside the passage, most of the throwing knife ninjas were killed in an instant. Even with the Wind Spirit Spin technique, none of them could withstand Happy’s second sword strike. While outside, Happy had seen that many experts had come to the Wangling this time, with fierce competition, so he didn’t intend to waste time. He slaughtered all forty-some throwing knife ninjas in the passage in one go. His Golden Bell Shield remained intact. Quickly gathering his loot, he vanished like a ghost at the end of the passage. Time is money! … Along the way, apart from eliminating two groups of numerous ninjas, Happy never stopped, rushing at full speed toward the “Death Loop” trap. All side halls and smaller chambers were left untouched. This was both to save time and to give players chasing after him a chance to pause, thus giving him more time to explore the Wangling alone. With the Illusion Demon Movement activated at full speed, he appeared in the Death Loop like a wisp of dust. At this point, the Death Loop posed no challenge to Happy at all. With his Golden Bell Shield and Silver Dragon set, he wasn’t afraid of being surrounded by ninjas—even a group of Life and Death Realm shadow warriors couldn’t match the power of King Stone’s punch. His second attack on the Death Loop involved no technique at all… Just slaughter! Complete extermination!! He smashed two ornate boxes, took what was inside, and left. This time his luck was average—he didn’t find any red ginseng pills. The two boxes contained a top-quality sword and an ordinary but excellent martial arts manual. On the other hand, the ninjas in the Death Loop contributed significantly, handing over four mid-tier masterpieces and two top-tier masterpieces. Happy didn’t even want to check their attributes; he just threw them into his Qiankun Bag and disappeared from the square hall of the Death Loop, heading deeper into the passages. … At the entrance of the Wangling, a group of people waited for a full five minutes! Lu Mingyue stopped blocking the entrance no longer, because delaying any longer would mean missing the opportunity. By then, the people outside might start to view him with hostility.

Moving aside, a few people at a time streamed inside.
The entrance to the royal tomb was still quite spacious, and over 200 people quickly filled it.
Lu Mingyue stood at the entrance, hesitating for a long time before finally unable to suppress his excitement and entering the royal tomb as well…
Boom!
The moment he entered the tomb hall, the Ghost Face Wall happened to be shattered.
Lu Mingyue ignored this and cautiously flew upward swiftly, scanning the surroundings for Happy’s figure, unaware of the players’ gazes around him.
Huh?
Not there?
After searching thoroughly, Lu Mingyue found neither Happy nor any corpses in the hall, which made him look puzzled.
A few seconds later, he realized that many people around him were staring at him strangely.
It was a very peculiar mocking look!
A sense of unease flashed through Lu Mingyue’s mind.
He soon noticed that behind the destroyed Ghost Face Wall, a group of people rushed into the passage without any fighting or hesitation…
Only after flying above the passage did he realize that the throwing knife ninjas inside seemed to have already been killed earlier.
“…”
Thinking about the recent destruction of the Ghost Face Wall, Lu Mingyue’s mind struggled to process it, but his unease grew rapidly.
Where was Happy?
Could it be…
Lu Mingyue’s eyes flickered as he watched the group’s retreating figures across the passage. Gritting his teeth, he accelerated to the limit and chased after them.
However, Needle Crossing Technique couldn’t be used in such passages, so he couldn’t close the distance at all—instead, the people ahead pulled further away from him…
Lu Mingyue’s face turned deathly pale.
Fortunately, he didn’t catch up to them; otherwise, hearing their comments about his attempt to stop everyone from entering the tomb would have made him spit blood!
