Chapter 272: Massacre in the Tunnel

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

In the tunnel that was less than sixteen feet wide were sixty or so Cloning Ninjas, around thirty Japanese Ninjas, four Shadow Warriors, and seven Knife-throwing Ninjas. They moved as if they were flying, and they followed closely behind Happy.

Back in his blue robes, he drifted about like an immortal while thirty-two feet ahead of the ninjas. As he ran, he did not even turn his head back.

His Phantasm Body Movement Skill was almost at Grandmaster Realm. Even though he could not shake the ninjas off with his speed, he did not face the danger of being caught. The seven Knife-throwing Ninjas trailed at the end of the group of ninjas. Their companions moved in front of them, so they had no chance to attack.

In less than one minute, the medicinal effects of two Dew Pills dissolved completely in Happy’s body. Once his qi reached Mystical Realm, he returned to the peak of his condition, and his spirit lifted.

But Happy did not turn around immediately.

The end of the tunnel was right in front of him!

His gaze darkened, and he increased his speed, moving like an arrow that left the bow. He instantly rushed out of the tunnel, and with a turn, he vanished from the sight of the ninjas behind him.

The army of ninjas did not stop moving. They rushed out of the tunnel as well!

At the moment they entered, the expressions of the four Shadow Warriors leading the army changed swiftly. A sword was thrust at them at the speed of lightning from behind the wall!

It was a fatal strike that was launched from the dark shadows in the corner. The sword shadow flickered and split into two before it split again into three. It had the momentum of a waterfall. It was as if a beast that had been oppressed for a long time finally showed its sharp fangs!

The sharp sword glare caused the Shadow Warriors nearby to feel their hair stand. Their expressions immediately changed, and they instinctively removed themselves from the situation and retreated. They tried to avoid the aggressive attack, but unfortunately for them, they were blocked by the people behind them. With that momentary delay, one of the Shadow Warriors gained seven or eight bloody holes in his body and crashed into the crowd behind him with a pale face.

But that was not all.

Happy moved with his sword. Once he delivered the flickering sword shadows, he moved like lightning and shot out from behind the corner. He looked at the heavily injured Shadow Warrior and made preparations to deliver a fatal strike.

At that moment, several low roars rose around him.

The three Shadow Warriors nearby quickly reacted to the situation!

‘My body right now is indeed far from when I was at my peak in my previous life. It’s a pity!’

When Happy noticed the threat of the three Shadow Warriors’ enraged attacks as well as the large group of Cloning Ninjas pouncing at him from the sides of the injured Shadow Warrior so that they could form an encirclement, Happy thought about how great of a pity it was that he could not kill the Shadow Warrior and activated Petit Dragon.

He moved like a crucian and deftly avoided the Shadow Warriors’ attack.

Clang!

Three attacks landed on the wall nearby, creating a crack that was three inches deep.

Happy used that moment when he was still dodging using Petit Dragon to charge into the ninjas like a crucian!

Without the threat from the Life and Death Realm Shadow Warriors and the Knife-throwing Ninjas, all he had to deal with were normal Japanese Ninjas and Cloning Ninjas.

The moment he rushed in, a cold fighting spirit that chilled the bones of those who felt it erupted from Happy’s body!

‘Kill them!’

The ninjas beside him could not react to the situation nor did they have enough space to attack. When they noticed that a person had suddenly appeared beside them, a dazzling sword light sliced past their faces.

The head was always the most fragile and vulnerable part of the human body.

While he was among the enemies, Happy did not even need to intentionally look around him. He closed his eyes and held his Silver Wolf Emperor Breaker Sword behind him, because it was the form in which he would face the least resistance. He turned around and swung his sword outward.

Sword light surged out like a wheel!

Heads flew!

Blood surged!

A few drops of warm blood fell on Happy’s determined face.

“Killed a Japanese Ninja. Obtained 30 Chivalry Points.”

“Killed a Japanese Ninja. Obtained 30 Chivalry Points.”

Happy said nothing about it.

Thud! Thud!

When a few Cloning Ninjas died in the tunnel, their clones turned into balls of smoke, and they vanished without a trace from the tunnel.

Finally, some breathing space and a chance to turn things around appeared in the narrow tunnel.

Once the corpses around him fell, Happy used the effect from Petit Dragon to rush out of the crowd and ran in the opposite direction, back to where the square-shaped hall was.

Shick! Shick!

The Knife-throwing Ninjas kept following behind Happy. When they saw him rush out of the crowd, they did not hesitate and resolutely grabbed a large number of throwing knives. They split up in the air with endless killing intent, but they missed Happy, brushed past his sides, and struck the ninjas behind him.

“AAHHH!”

Innocent ninjas took Happy’s place in suffering from the throwing knives, and screams of pain rose endlessly!

Happy said nothing when he was attacked.

Only when he heard the screams of pain behind him was he taken aback for a moment.

When he turned his head around to look, he found that a group of ninjas behind him had been stabbed by throwing knives. Their pathetic and enraged expressions nearly made him laugh.

He did not expect that once he used Petit Dragon to avoid the throwing knives, the ninjas behind him would suffer in his place even though that was not his intention at all.

Of course, the unique topography of the tunnel was one of the reasons that had led to it.

After noticing it, Happy suddenly had an idea.

He had never ran into such a situation before, but if made use of it, he might be able to do more things. He ran through the idea in his head, but he immediately squashed the thought of killing the Knife-throwing Ninjas. He slowed down a little and caught up to them.

The seven Knife-throwing Ninjas might not have known why their throwing knives would land on their people, but when they saw Happy catch up to them, they moved back without hesitation and continued to aim at him. They threw their throwing knives in his direction.

The seven throwing knives instantly split into twenty-one!

They locked down on Happy in an even more fearsome and violent manner.

Happy continued to use Petit Dragon from Ten True Dragon Styles while swiftly stuffing Dew Pills into his mouth to restore his rapidly depleting qi.

Shick! Shick!

Aside from some throwing knives that were knocked aside by Golden Bell Cocoon, when the other throwing knives closed in on him, he would automatically twist around and avoid them in a bizarre manner.

Inertia came into play then.

Most of the throwing knives landed on the ninjas that had ran after him.

A few of the unlucky ones toppled to the ground while cursing up a storm in a language Happy did not understand.

The Knife-throwing Ninjas did not have pleasant expressions after hitting their own people multiple times. Once they were scolded by the high-ranking ninjas, they looked at each other, but they did not stop continuing to throw their throwing knives.

Happy felt delighted.

By the looks of it, the ninjas behind him should have told them to aim better or something.

There was no need to mention that Happy remained safe during the third round of attacks, and a few more ninjas behind him lost their lives. Every single time a Cloning Ninja died, his clones would automatically disappear too. Because of that, quite a lot of space opened up in the large tunnel.

During the subsequent attacks, even if the Knife-throwing Ninjas missed, the ninjas behind Happy had dodging space and room to move around, so no one else was hurt.

However, there were less than twenty ninjas left by then. The Japanese Ninjas numbered to less than fifteen, and there were still four Shadow Warriors. The ninjas’ numbers had been largely reduced.

When Happy saw this, he knew that it was time for him to take action!

If he continued to drag it out, it would not help things.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

He stepped on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, and after taking a few steps like a phantom, he stomped on the ground before he turned around resolutely. He then went charging at the group of ninjas chasing after him at an even faster speed than before; he looked like a cannonball.

Dragon Capture!

Happy landed among the ninjas and used Petit Dragon to avoid the first wave of attacks. He formed his left hand into a claw and grabbed the Shadow Warrior at the very front of the group by the neck.

Whoosh!

Blood gushed out.

Whoosh!

A black shadow was sent flying out of the crowd. He touched his bleeding throat with a face full of surprise and fear.

‘He didn’t die?!’

Happy’s gaze darkened, but he did not easily let go of the heavily injured Shadow Warrior. He activated his Golden Bell Cocoon fully and withstood the attacks from the Mystical Realm ninjas while he closed in on the Shadow Warrior like a phantom. His gaze was cold, and his sword followed after him with an even fiercer momentum!
