Ninja King first lost Nation Protecting Divine Sword, then was unable to kill Happy multiple times, and after that, he was even forced to see Happy take away the heirloom seal under Old Swordsman’s protection. He was a Moksha Realm elite, and yet he was toyed around by a Chinese brat in Mystical Realm. Ninja King felt rage burn in his heart and a wave of humiliation that he could not put to words washed over him.
Even if Old Swordsman turned around and attacked him, it did not prevent Ninja King from making a resolution to kill Happy.
At that moment, Ninja King only had one goal—to kill Happy and snatch Nation Protecting Divine Sword as well as the heirloom seal from him!
Whoosh!
He vanished from the spot.


However, Old Swordsman was not easy to deal with. Since the heirloom seal had been taken, his only reason for living right then was to kill all the enemies he saw in the second level of the royal mausoleum!
The sword glare flashed, and Old Swordsman appeared in front of Ninja King. His old body was like a sturdy piece of rock. He took Happy’s place and helped him withstand a blow, but he came out of it undamaged. With one slash, he left behind a deep gash on the golden armor, and Ninja King was once again sent flying out of the tomb.
Ninja King might have been strong, but compared to Old Swordsman, he was slightly inferior, or else, he would not have held back until then and seized the heirloom seal.
However, Ninja King knew that Old Swordsman not only had extraordinary abilities, but also was not afraid of death. He was not someone Ninja King could defeat. Hence, he did not want to engage in a fight with him for too long. Once he tricked him into attacking once, he bypassed Old Swordsman like a phantom and delivered a palm strike at Happy through the air!
‘Again?!’
Happy’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and executed Petit Dragon. This time, he was not so unlucky as to have his dodge fail again. He crushed a Dew Pill in his mouth and activated Phantasm Body Movement Skill to instantly move behind Old Swordsman.
‘He’s cunning!’
Even though Ninja King could not speak Chinese, Happy could sense the gloom he felt at that moment based on his angry gaze.
Old Swordsman might not take the initiative to protect Happy, he would not show any mercy when he attacked Ninja King. The moment Ninja King stopped, he was struck again. The sword glare lit up, and Ninja King was sent crashing against the jade stage before he slipped and crashed against the ground.
Old Swordsman took the initiative to attack!


Happy groaned while watching the fight.
He was injured quite badly right then, and he could not recover within a short time even if he took Dew Pills. If he left the tomb, it would be impossible for him to run too far away.
When he saw that Old Swordsman had decided to ignore him in favor of attacking, he could only brace himself and follow behind him while he continuously took in Dew Pills. He also positioned his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword horizontally over his chest so that he could be ready for the final resistance at any moment.
Whoosh!
Ninja King might have appeared to be a tragic sight, but with Golden Armor’s protection, he was not actually injured that much. He resolutely charged out from the messy pile of stones and exchanged a blow with Old Swordsman. Both delivered their attacks at full strength, then Ninja King made a feint and appeared to Happy’s left like a phantom.
He struck Happy without any hesitation and as quick as lightning!
He struck so viciously that it was evident that Happy had truly angered him, and he wanted to tear him to shreds.
However, Ninja King had not expected that Happy would have made preparations to strike back with everything he had. When he saw Ninja King charge at him, he did not retreat, but advanced instead. He executed Dragon Capture in the face of Ninja King’s heavy palm strike!
Dragon Capture had ingenious control over acupressure points and meridian systems.
Even though Happy could not control a powerful fighter who was two qi realms higher than him, he could still make him freeze for a moment, and just as he expected, that brief pause happened, as usual. The moment Ninja King’s arm was seized courtesy of Dragon Capture, most of the energy in his body instantly vanished.


The remaining power surged into Happy’s body, and his face turned red. Blood trickled out of the corners of his lips.
Ninja King still froze for a moment, though.
Happy did not hesitate. He let go and shifted behind Old Swordsman.
Everything happened just as he expected after that. Ninja King was once again sent flying by Old Swordsman. With extra time, he delivered two slashes on Ninja King, who still did not know what had happened. A piercing metallic sound rose, and blood poured out of Ninja King’s helmet.
Ninja King was injured!
Happy felt his spirits lift.
However, he did not dare to be negligent. He dragged his injured body away and sat down to activate Constellation Breathing Technique.
Since Ninja King was injured and sent out of the tomb again, then with how stubborn Old Swordsman was and the strength he possessed, even if Ninja King wanted to bypass him, he would need some time to do it.
Happy needed to use that moment to activate Constellation Breathing Technique and heal his injuries. That was his best plan!
Just as he expected, Ninja King could not quite accept what had just happened. His killing blow had actually been ingeniously dissolved by an ant, and he had even gotten injured even more.


While he was dazed, he was struck twice. Old Swordsman’s continuous sword attacks were like an Eight Trigrams Diagram. They came continuously, and each attack lasted for a long while. They were gentle, but also carried endless might.
Ninja King’s expression changed drastically!
He did not dare face the force of Old Swordman’s attacks head-on. With a tap against the ground, he retreated dozens of feet away, going further and further away from the tomb.
But to his surprise, two halberds suddenly shot out from the corner, and before he could adjust his qi to cope with the situation, Old Swordsman seized the chance to add new wounds on his body with his fierce sword technique.
The great Ninja King could no longer keep up his image of the golden God of War.
His sparkling Golden Armor had more than ten gashes on it. Spots of blood could be seen on his chest plate as well. His footsteps were disorderly, and he was in a situation where he could only be suppressed and beaten up by Old Swordsman.
When it seemed as if he could no longer withstand it, he tapped at the ground, and with Fish Jump, he landed thirty-two feet away.
Before Old Swordsman could charge after him, Ninja King crossed his arms over his chest. With a loud thud, a ball of smoke shot up from the ground, and he vanished.
Old Swordsman’s expression changed. He suddenly turned around and let out an awe-inspiring roar in the direction of the tomb.

You thickheaded fool!



Just as he expected, Ninja King appeared dozens of feet away from the entrance to the tomb. He leapt across the walls to head inside!
His target was still Happy.
The miserable-looking Ninja King glared at the even more miserable-looking Happy with a livid expression. He then delivered a punch through the air. His speed did not decrease from that action, and he arrived in front of Happy with the wind he stirred up with his attack.
Happy had suppressed the injuries in his body during the twenty or so seconds Old Swordsman had forced Ninja King out of the tomb. With the help of the exorbitantly priced Dew Pills, his qi returned to its peak condition.
When Happy felt Ninja King rush into the tomb again, he opened his eyes calmly!
Boom!
The afterimage he left on the spot was shattered by the punch.
Ninja King might have caught up to Happy’s real body, but Happy had been prepared for it. He activated Petit Dragon and avoided Ninja King’s sweeping kick like a loach before he escaped Ninja King’s control like a speck of floating dust and landed outside the tomb.

You’ve become slower.

Happy looked at Ninja King’s back before he took in another Dew Pill, and a crazed look appeared in his eyes.
Ninja King should have grown aware of the situation. If he continued being injured, he might drop to Life and Death Realm. Happy remembered that usually, when he was in such a situation, Ninja King would avoid confrontation and would become even harder to deal with.
Happy did not say anything about that and remained silent.
He no longer needed to worry about his safety at that moment. He had Petit Dragon, and it would be difficult for Ninja King to kill him with one blow. All he needed to be wary of was Ninja King running away.
He had already made Old Swordsman fight against Ninja King for a long time, and he had risked his own life multiple times until Ninja King was finally injured. If he let Ninja King run away and get a chance to restore his strength, it would be difficult for Happy to recreate the same situation again.
When he thought of that, Happy focused. He stared at Ninja King, and without batting an eyelid, he put away his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword so that he could bring out his Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm.
The way he was right then, with his qi and Golden Bell Cocoon, he could take the risk and fight against Ninja King head-on…
