Ninja King’s sudden death made the people who had been watching the fight suddenly feel that it was not real.
Even the people from Beautiful Robes Faction were dumbfounded and had exaggerated expressions saying that they could not accept seeing Ninja King lying motionless on the ground and catching his last breath. It was especially so since they had personally witnessed him killing more than one hundred elites from the three sects. He had handled them with ease and had been totally unperturbed by their attacks. Even Happy had not dealt him a lot of damage when they had fought earlier.
But they did not know that even though Ninja King did not seem to have suffered from any injuries and his golden armor had negated most of the damage, his internal injuries had accumulated over time. They were not something that could be ignored.
Besides, since Happy executed Seven Stars Sword Styles while he was nearly at the peak of Mystical Realm after Ninja King had clashed with him dozens of times, the injuries on Ninja King’s body had been magnified, and his internal injuries became even more serious.
When Ninja King vaguely noticed it, Happy had already made arrangements for it.


Seven Stars Brilliant Moon was a technique that could be used separately, but could also be executed in the form of a chain attack.
The former was only slightly stronger than normal skills, but the power of the chain attack was not something a normal person could withstand!

For high-tier martial arts, the higher their qi realms were, the greater their profound skills would be, and they would also deal even more damage.
However, it was not that easy to successfully execute the skills!
First, the users had to have great control over the battlefield and a deep understanding of the skill, or else, the possibility of them missing or not getting the effect they wanted would be very high.
Also, the enemy’s strength was also a critical factor that decided whether the attack could be executed successfully.
The last factor was the most troublesome one. It was the rational arrangement of the chain attack. The player had to have a certain degree of understanding toward the martial art. They needed to predict their enemy’s next move and make appropriate adjustments. They could not just move with the skill. In World of Martial Arts, that sort of martial art which would only be executed by fools could not be considered as a true profound skill.

Happy believed that his control over all of those things was pretty good.


From the beginning, he knew that it was impossible for him to successfully pull it off against Ninja King. Hence, he decided to use the wild battle tactic of fighting head-on against him until he could exacerbate Ninja King’s injuries.
The Life and Death Realm Ninja King clone still had some very obvious weaknesses.
Once his injuries were brought to light, Happy seized the chance to activate Seven Stars Brilliant Moon. Once he was sure that it would be effective, he executed the chain attack, and while the styles at the start were not enough to destroy the golden armor around Ninja King’s body and could not kill the clone, all of it was in preparation of the strongest style of Seven Stars Sword Styles, which was the final style of Seven Stars Brilliant Moon and contained the strongest will of the sword.
It stacked with the damage from the previous six swords as well. At that moment, Happy’s damage was equivalent to the full-powered strike of an ultimate technique of Life and Death Realm. With how heavily injured Ninja King’s clone was, there was no way he could withstand it. In a moment, he died at Happy’s feet.

Whew!


Successfully killed Ninja King!

Battle Danger Assessment: Class A!

Killed Ninja King’s clone. Seven Stars Sword Styles increased by one level. Seven Stars Sword Style: Level 96.29.

Received 500 chivalry points. Received 100 reputation points!

The clear sound of the system’s notification rose by Happy’s ears.


However, what concerned him the most was the Class A battle assessment. It had directly increased his Seven Stars Sword Styles by a level, which reduced his future training time by quite a lot.
It had to be known that once a Mystical Realm high-tier martial art reached the tenth realm, it would become incredibly hard to level up. The player might not be able to increase one level even after a day.
The victory in the battle had at least compensated Happy for half of the time he took for traveling there.
The people who had been watching the battle continued to stand far away. They did not surround him.
Happy knew that the four sects were avoiding trouble.
Ninja King had just died, and he had still not taken the loot. If they approached recklessly, it would be unavoidable for them to stir up a tense atmosphere.
Happy smiled and crouched down. He found an exquisite Universe Bag on Ninja King’s corpse. He also noticed that Ninja King’s face was gradually becoming blurry.
When he opened the bag, he looked inside, and the smile on his face instantly became brighter.
Even though it was only Ninja King’s clone, he had dropped the Golden Armor Set, which was pretty good.
Golden Gauntlet (Grade one masterpiece).


The Golden Armor Set was created by master level craftsmen hired by the royal family. It increases hand defense by 300 points and blocking rate by 30%. The strength of the gold alloy can block the ripping effect. If the user blocks an attack from the same realm, they will not have their next attack interrupted. Their attack speed will also increase by 10%.
From a certain point, that equipment which came from Yan Dynasty’s palace could be considered a supreme grade demon vessel, but when the set was separated into pieces, it was rather normal. Each piece was only slightly better than a normal grade one masterpiece.
‘Right now, there are few people in the royal mausoleum who know that I could assemble a full Golden Armor Set after coming here a few times…’ Happy thought in his heart, but even he did not think that it was very plausible.
The Ninja King in the second level of the royal mausoleum was in Moksha Realm, and his combat ability was incredibly shocking. His movement speed was very fast, and his attack speed could not be imagined. With the protection of the golden armor, he was like a moving cannon that was indestructible and could not be halted.
Usually, when players faced him, they would not even know how they died. During the early stages of the game, he was rumored to be as strong as Nine-tailed Fox.
Ninja King was also very cunning. Once he was injured, he knew how to flee. He would run around the royal mausoleum to stall for time and heal his wounds. In Happy’s previous life, he remembered that once Life and Death Realm became common among players, news of Ninja King being killed by some random person started appearing. The main piece of Golden Armor also began to slowly appear in the market.
If Happy wanted to gather a full Golden Armor Set with his abilities right then, he would be a fool with an idiotic dream!
Ninja King’s clone was very good in his drops. Aside from giving him a Golden Gauntlet, he also gave a Vajra Stone with six sides. If Happy sold it, he could get a million taels of silver crumbs.
Happy solemnly held the Vajra Stone in his hands before he carefully placed it into his Universe Bag. In the end, he cast a glance at the other disorderly drops before he put all of them away.
Clang!


He removed his Yellow Dragon Gauntlet and placed the exquisite Golden Gauntlet on his forearm with a resounding click. The links were ingeniously made, and they would not affect him when he bent his elbow. Once he equipped it properly, it shone with a golden light, and it was symmetrical as well as mighty looking. A noble air that was completely different from Yellow Dragon Gauntlet’s instantly spread out.
The people in the distance watched it with their eyes sparkling brilliantly. They were full of admiration.
All of them had borne witness to Ninja King’s combat ability, and they had a great understanding of the defense of Golden Armor. Even though Happy had only obtained one piece, they could already imagine just how terrifying his defense would be.

Oh, by the way, what’s his name?
someone from Emei Sect suddenly asked.

He didn’t say.


Do you even need to ask? Judging by that equipment, appearance, body fortification technique, and sword technique, aside from that person ranked at the top of Famous People Rank, who else could it be?
Yue Hua said with a smile while standing at the front of the group.
