Chapter 269: Decisive Killing

A group of ninjas from Fusang had been tasked by a man named the “Ninja King.” However, the vast array of treasures in the royal tomb overwhelmed them, making it impossible to take them all at once.
Worried that multiple shipments might alert the martial artists of the Central Plains and lead to an attack, the Ninja King decided to stay in the tomb himself, ordering only a few spies to go out to summon reinforcements, with the plan to plunder all the treasures in the Great Yan royal tomb and bring them back to Fusang.
Yet!
These boxes remained untouched because the ninjas intended to act only after their reinforcements arrived, thus preserving them intact.
But to guard against tomb robbers from the Central Plains…
The Ninja King left several ninjas near each treasure, tasked with secretly protecting them. Near the more valuable treasures, in addition to guards, elaborate traps were set. Meanwhile, he stayed deep in the tomb, in the emperor’s mausoleum, playing with the “Imperial Seal of the Dynasty” from a past era.
This hall, referred to by past players as the “Death Loop,” contained one of the more valuable treasures, which is why a large number of ninjas were stationed here.
In the side hall…
Ninjas who concealed their presence and breaths watched secretly every move of those who entered. The moment the sandalwood box was opened and their attention was drawn to a black pill inside, they appeared simultaneously.
Bang!
Smoke bombs exploded, filling the narrow hall with smoke.
As the smoke quickly dissipated, the once-empty hall was filled with over a dozen ninjas.
Three “Dart Ninjas” wearing numerous flying knives on their waists appeared in the corners of the hall. Four Fusang ninjas holding swords upside down, along with four clone ninjas wearing conical hats, surrounded Happy and the desk, trapping them in the center of the hall.
The nearest ninjas drew their swords at the same time!
With ruthless determination, they were ready to strike down their targets instantly!
Yet…
To the surprise of all the ninjas, the lack of resistance when the swords were swung, along with the disappearing afterimages, revealed one undeniable fact: the ambush had failed!
Pairs of cold, murderous eyes stared intently at one corner of the hall—the only place where one could stand…
A man in dark yellow archer’s robes, with a blue hero’s headband, indeed appeared there, his face showing a mix of seriousness and coldness. The only thing they hadn’t expected was that Happy was holding a ninja wearing a conical hat and dressed oddly, with the bloodstained “Silver Wolf Sword of Destruction” slowly being removed from the ninja’s neck.
At the same time!

In the small hall, the other three ninjas dressed identically trembled slightly as they clutched their necks tightly, bright red blood gushing out between their fingers.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The three ninjas, as if their tracheas had been cut, held onto their necks desperately as their bodies slowly slumped downward, eventually collapsing to the ground and remaining motionless.
Kai Xin turned a blind eye to what was happening before him.
Cloned ninjas!
They were one of the most difficult types of ninjas to deal with. They were also the first enemies he targeted for elimination, because the small hall was too cramped—once they created clones, there would be no space to move or dodge at all!
To prevent this, the moment they appeared, Kai Xin used his Illusion Demon Technique to evade their deadly attacks while swiftly cutting the throats of the three nearby cloned ninjas. As for the last one, he simply caught it in his palm with his Dragon Seizing Hand and killed it. In this way, all four cloned ninjas were eliminated in an instant.
The biggest problem was solved…
Hah!
Ninjas have no sense of fear, especially in games.
Although Kai Xin displayed abilities beyond ordinary people’s, as soon as he was locked onto again, three throwing knife ninjas and four Fusang ninjas launched attacks simultaneously.
Sword blades sliced through the air!
Throwing knives scattered!
All of them rushed toward Kai Xin in the corner…
He smiled coldly.
The corpses in his hands finally came in handy.
Kai Xin threw the bodies of the cloned ninjas as shields, and with thuds! thuds!, the sound of blades piercing flesh filled the air as several throwing knives embedded themselves in the bodies.
Immediately after!
The bodies of the cloned ninjas were torn apart by the four Fusang ninjas who hadn’t stopped their attacks. Their fierce slashes not only blocked Kai Xin’s only escape route but also struck him with full force—there was no hesitation or mercy in their attacks on their comrades’ corpses…
However,
the outcome was clearly different from what they had expected.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The expressions of the four Fusang ninjas changed abruptly. Their attacks seemed to hit an impenetrable wall—not only did they fail to cut through at all, but the force rebounding from their weapons almost cracked their palms, making it impossible for them to hold their weapons.
Their figures froze as they staggered backward, still holding their swords high…
Hiss… Hiss!
Kai Xin wouldn’t miss such a rare opportunity!
At such close range, there was even no need to use Wind Spirit Spin. With a step forward, his icy gaze fixed on them as he swung his Silver Wolf Break Emperor Sword horizontally, its blade light surging!
Alarming wounds appeared on the chests of the four Fusang ninjas.

The lethality of the Seven-Star Sword Technique was already astonishing, and combined with the formidable Silver Wolf Break-Emperor Sword, it focused all its destructive power on those four individuals, without losing a shred of it. Several ribs were broken, yet their flying speed remained unchanged. Such steady force would surely astonish any swordsmaster in the real world.

“Ding ding dang dang!”

The death of the Fusang ninja finally made the three remaining throwing-ninja uneasy. Several throwing knives struck the protective barriers around Happy’s body.

A golden light flared brightly before dimming by nearly one-third in an instant.

Truly a top-tier throwing-knife technique—its power rivaled that of master-level mystical martial arts. Coupled with the strength at the Mystical realm, its lethality was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, there were only three throwing-ninja here, Happy thought to himself.

At the same time, dense and rapid footsteps could be heard outside the hall—very frequent, with no fewer than twenty people approaching quickly…

The true meaning of the Death Loop was that activating any mechanism would cause the ninjas lurking at the two exits of the hall to appear, followed by ninjas from the two side halls. In total, there were four waves of ninjas, over fifty in number, including four “shadow puppets” at the Life and Death realm.

“They’re coming!”

His expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, Happy charged forward like a whirlwind toward the three of them, braving the throwing knives of the ninja…

Ninjas were inherently weak in defense, especially throwing-ninja, who were not skilled in close combat. Moreover, throwing knives lost much of their effectiveness at close range. In essence, they were a group that relied on distance and craved safety through it. So when they saw Happy approaching, they panicked immediately, stopped attacking, and reflexively darted to the sides in an attempt to break through and escape the side hall, thereby gaining distance!

But Happy, who had already planned to kill them last, would never let them get away.
