Rumble!
Under the protection of One Circle's powerful defensive divine skill, a loud bang rose, and the group of people finally worked together to destroy the Green Ghost Face Wall that had taken more than one hundred disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects.
The Green Ghost Face Wall had lasted for a few minutes under the fierce attacks of the elites. At the moment it completely crumbled, everyone smiled in relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders!
However!
The wall sank.
The moment the passageway opened in front of everyone, a dense group of ninjas holding multiple throwing knives appeared in everyone's field of vision without any warning!
In an instant!
Everyone's gazes froze!
The smiles that had just appeared on their faces instantly froze on their faces, and they were quickly replaced by great fear and anger.
There were at least thirty or so ninjas in the tunnel!
They were dressed in standard ninja attire, and their gazes were cold. They had their hands crossed over their chests, and each of them held a thin throwing knife that caused the expressions of the people to change. Each throwing knife shone with a cold and intimidating glare.
When they faced the countless snow-white throwing knives that were reflected in their eyes, a powerful chill rose in everyone's hearts, including One Circle. When they saw the scene in the tunnel, everyone instantly understood what was going on.
This was not a trap! It was a checkpoint set up by ninjas who wanted to rob the royal mausoleum!
"Dodge!"
The expressions of the thirteen staff-using monks changed swiftly!
With an urgent shout, the disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects retreated at the same time. They activated their qi realms madly to mend the damage to their body fortifications.
Shick, shick, shick!
Almost at the same time the disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects retreated from the tunnel, the ninjas in the tunnel put on savage expressions. They flicked their wrists, and countless shining throwing knives instantly filled the tunnel with the sound of air being sliced apart.
At the moment they flew out of the tunnel!
The throwing knives split into three!
The snow-white throwing knives swiftly filled everyone's vision. They flew in different trajectories, dazzling the people's eyes, and catching them off guard.
In an instant, screams of pain rose and fell!
That included the thirteen staff-using monks. Most of them were injured quite badly in that round of attacks, and they fell from the sky. The lightness skills of the disciples of Wudang Sect were pretty good, but their defensive skills were slightly inferior. At such a close distance, it was impossible for them to shake off the pursuit of the dazzling throwing knives. A few of them threw their corpses from the air. Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect had suffered some losses, and it was even more so for the other sects.
The people from Soaring Tiger Sect who were prepared to attack the enemies while they were down had more than thirty people pierced through by the throwing knives. Their blood poured down nonstop.
Hidden Soul Guild and Beggar's Sect might not have suffered as many losses as Soaring Tiger Sect, but after two rounds of attacks, they had lost more than half of their members.
As for Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction, Emei Sect was shocked by One Circle and Phoenix Dances' appearance and was surprised by Beautiful Robes Faction's strength. They were also not too willing to mix with the people from Soaring Tiger Sect and Beggar's Sect, which was why they stood at the back, and the damage they suffered was close to zero. As for Emei Sect, One Circle had already taken the initiative to swing his Arhat Axe and protect all the people from Beautiful Robes Faction behind him.
The flying daggers collided with the Arhat Axe, creating bright sparks!
Clanging sounds could be heard nonstop!
In One Circle's hands, the 50% chance to block attacks from the Arhat Axe and the two hundred points in weapon defense were completely displayed. The fatty was like a Vajra God of War. He swung his greataxe and withstood the pressure. He managed to knock away most of the throwing knives. Even if some of them landed in Beautiful Robes Faction, they were knocked away by Butt Shaker, the Three Lonely Wolves, and the others. The threat was reduced to its lowest. Under One Circle's protection, the group retreated behind a stone pillar.
The other sects were in a more miserable state. They left behind some corpses or hid behind the stone pillars to recuperate while they were heavily injured!
The total number of casualties was no less than the previous round.
But it was no wonder!
Previously, the number of throwing knives that could be fired from the holes in Ghost Face Wall was limited by the number of holes. Right then, once the wall was broken, all the Knife-throwing Ninjas were like tigers freed from their shackles. Their damage and threat had increased by more than one fold. It was only normal for them to not be able to withstand the sudden ambush.
Also …
Fortunately, the remaining group of people were relatively elites, and they also had the thirteen staff-using monks and One Circle, who were outstanding people who practiced defensive martial arts. Otherwise, the number of casualties might have increased by one fold after the round of attacks.
"Emei Sect, do you intend to wait until all the people from the six sects die before you attack?!"
Even though Soaring Tiger Sect was slightly angry that Beautiful Robes Faction did not suffer any damage, the strength Beautiful Robes Faction displayed showed that they were not a normal student sect. In that sort of situation, they could not afford to offend them.
When the girls from Emei Sect heard Soaring Tiger Sect's mocking words, a few of them immediately retorted.
"The tunnel is only so big. Where are we supposed to go?"
"It's clear that you didn't notice your situation, and you're blaming us? When we came in, didn't you give way to us and let us enter first? What's wrong? Are you regretting it now? "
"That's right!"
"Hmph!" "Despicable people!"
When the group of beautiful girls retorted, the people from Soaring Tiger Sect instantly had shocked expressions appear on their faces.
The other sects did not say anything about it.
When the royal mausoleum was activated, they had indeed been a little impatient and neglected the possible dangers inside. Now that they thought about it, they could not blame Emei Sect.
As they spoke, more than ten people were killed by throwing knives, and their corpses fell on the ground.
The atmosphere in the hall of the royal mausoleum instantly became even more dangerous and horrifying.
"Everyone!" Ouyang Qing's voice rose again. "Now is not the time to argue about this. I hope that we can put down our prejudices against each other and work together to get rid of the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel, or else, we won't be able to get through with just our strength alone!"
"The brothers from Wudang Sect are right."
A few of the thirteen staff-using monks from Shaolin Temple supported their injured brothers while they treated their injuries.
At that moment, the disadvantage of Shaolin Temple's numbers was becoming increasingly clear. However, the other sects also noticed this problem.
"Brothers from Mount Hua Sect!"
At that moment, someone from Beggar's Sect suddenly made a suggestion loudly.
"Among the seven sects, your brother is the one who practices defensive martial arts. Why don't we rush into the tunnel with him in front and us behind him?"
"Bah!"
Right when he finished speaking, someone from Beautiful Robes Faction immediately shouted in disdain.
"It's useless no matter how strong your body fortification technique is! There are dozens of Knife-throwing Ninjas inside! If you have the ability, why don't you go in? Don't think that you can bully us just because we're students! "NotaRascal stopped talking for a moment before he snorted coldly.
"If you want our people to be cannon fodder, you'd better save your breath."
His words caused the person from Beggar's Sect to turn red.
"That's not what I meant —"
"Hmph, you don't need to explain."
When the people from the sects saw this, they became anxious. The throwing knives continued flying nonstop in the hall, and the situation became even worse. There were people dying at any moment.
When they saw that the sects were waiting for Beautiful Robes Faction to take the lead with their own thoughts, someone at the back of the crowd said loudly,
"They're shooting, but you don't?"
The quarreling in the hall instantly disappeared.
His words woke them up from their dreams!
'That's right!'
Previously, it was because of Ghost Face Wall blocking them. Right then, Ghost Face Wall had collapsed, and the enemies were in the tunnel. If they fought against each other, the ninjas inside would not have any advantage.
The people from the seven sects brought out their bows, throwing knives, and hidden weapons.
Only a few Wudang Sect disciples nearby cast a surprised glance at the young man in blue robes who had some blood on his face and was grinning foolishly. They gave him a thumbs-up.
