His words woke them up from their dreams!
The people from the seven system-allocated sects quickly coordinated and took action. A group of people were in charge of blocking the throwing knives that danced wantonly in the hall of the royal mausoleum, while the other group hid behind the stone pillars with dragons in their hands. They drew their bows madly or fired hidden weapons at the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel. Even though most of them used low-tier hidden weapons and bow techniques, their advantage in numbers and terrain gradually showed itself.
The hall was wide, and once the throwing knives that shot out of the tunnel were scattered, the damage suffered by the people was not too great.
It was the opposite!
The arrows, throwing knives, and hidden weapons that shot into the tunnel from different directions in the hall were gathered together. They were packed densely together, and their momentum was incredibly terrifying.
The defense of the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel was clearly not great. After one round, more than half of the people in the first row were crippled, and their fierce offense fell by a large margin. Once the pressure was reduced, the seven system-allocated sects instantly became even more excited.
They fired two arrows from a single bow or fired multiple throwing knives. In any case, they threw all sorts of hidden weapons into the tunnel without needing to aim. Their fighting style was like a storm, and the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel were completely dumbfounded.
There were ninjas who staggered and were hit. Their bodies were covered in all sorts of hidden weapons, and they looked tragic and miserable. Hence, the number of throwing knives that shot out of the tunnel decreased.
"Haha! We did it! They're running! "
"After them!"
"They might have high-tier throwing knives on them …"
When the people from the seven system-allocated sects saw that their strategy worked and the threat in the hall was completely removed, they instantly became excited. They walked out from behind the stone pillars with dragons in their hands and continued to throw all sorts of hidden weapons into the tunnel.
Unfortunately for them, the Knife-throwing Ninjas moved very quickly. They instantly left the range of the throwing knives and hidden weapons and hid in the tunnel, which led more people into the tunnel.
"Careful! Don't go in! "
Some of the people from the seven system-allocated sects soon noticed that the situation was off. Once they entered the tunnel, the firepower became much weaker, and they quickly reminded the people in front of them to be careful.
Unfortunately for them …
The corpses of the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel were an endless temptation to many people. Many people did not hear them at all. Their eyes were filled with the corpses of the Knife-throwing Ninjas, and they eagerly charged forward.
Among them, Soaring Tiger Sect seemed to be the most anxious. There were also a few disciples from Beggar's Sect and Hidden Soul Guild.
Right when he finished speaking, the Knife-throwing Ninjas who had been retreating suddenly stopped moving at the same time. Around a dozen throwing knives swiftly split up in the tunnel, intersecting with each other as they shot forward to face the disciples from the seven great system-allocated sects.
In the narrow tunnel, the few people at the very front could not move or dodge at all. Their eyes were filled with shock as they watched the countless flying knives charge at them …
In the passageway, all sorts of sounds of bodies being pierced and miserable screams rose and fell.
"Damn it!"
"Get back!!"
A few seconds later!
The group of people retreated from the passageway in panic.
More than twenty corpses were strewn across the tunnel.
The group of Knife-throwing Ninjas closed in on him again!
"Damn it! I can't push it in … "
Since Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple did not have many people who were skilled in throwing knives and hidden weapons, they were at the back, which was why they did not suffer any casualties. Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction were located at the back, which was a safe area. Soaring Tiger Sect, Hidden Soul Guild, and Beggar's Sect also suffered some casualties.
They continued to lose members, and the three great sects had less than half of the people they had when they first arrived. Soaring Tiger Sect suffered the most. They lost more than one hundred people. When they turned their heads around and saw more than two hundred corpses in the hall, a silent chill enveloped everyone's hearts.
This was just the main hall of the royal mausoleum, and so many people had died in the first stage. It was easy to imagine just how dangerous the place was!
When some people thought about how they might die without getting any benefits, they could not help but feel their hearts pound, and the thought of retreating rose in their hearts.
"They're coming up again! Everyone, fire at the same time! "
Wudang Sect's Ouyang Qing was very indignant. He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to gather everyone's enthusiasm.
At that moment, there were not many people who could counterattack. Even the thirteen staff-using monks were forced to protect themselves. Hidden Soul Guild and Beggar's Sect had suffered great losses, and there were also many injured. They circulated their qi to heal their wounds under the protection of their sect members. Aside from Soaring Tiger Sect, which had the greatest number of people, only Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction had the strength to counterattack.
When Emei Sect saw that the other sects were barely hanging on to their last breaths, they finally cast aside their conflict with Soaring Tiger Sect. They jumped over the corpses on the ground and stood together with Beautiful Robes Faction and Wudang Sect. Bows, throwing knives, and hidden weapons fell into their hands.
Another person from Beautiful Robes Faction attracted quite a number of people's attention!
Little Jade grabbed a Golden Feather Bow with one hand. She looked like an immortal from Jade Lake. She had six golden wings, and they were exquisite and small. She nocked three arrows on the bowstring and easily bent it into the shape of a full moon. A faint crack rose in the air, and the three arrows were like shooting stars chasing after the moon. They left behind dazzling white trails of light, and a few groans rose from the tunnel.
Even though it was also a low-tier bow technique, with the support from Yellow Dragon Bow, its damage did not lose to that of a normal high-tier martial art. It managed to kill a Knife-throwing Ninja in the tunnel.
"…"
The people from Soaring Tiger Sect stared at the beautiful and ethereal Little Jade and the Yellow Dragon Bow in her hands with sparkling eyes. No one knew what they were thinking about.
"Yellow Dragon Bow is a middle-grade masterpiece. Its market price seems to be around two million taels of silver …"
"That fatty's weapon is pretty extraordinary as well. He managed to withstand so many throwing knives head-on, but he's fine. If he drops it, we'll be rich!" A few people discussed the matter in whispers.
"But Beautiful Robes Faction isn't easy to deal with."
"Yeah, they're just a group of students. How could they have so many good items? Even large guilds don't have such a great accumulation of resources."
"Tsk, maybe they're rich, and they're just squandering." "Don't bother too much about it. Keep a close eye on them. Once we clear the tunnel and go inside, we'll definitely have a chance. At that time, hmph …"
A clear killing intent flashed through the eyes of these people.
The group did not notice that the ears of the blue-robed young man who belonged to one of the seven great system-allocated sects twitched slightly. He pretended to be nonchalant and cast them a glance. Without batting an eyelid, he quietly memorized the faces of the people from Soaring Tiger Sect.
In the hall.
They continued shooting at each other.
Even though the momentum of the three great system-allocated sects was rather small, they had the geographical advantage, and they managed to suppress the firepower of the group of Knife-throwing Ninjas in the tunnel. Once the group of Knife-throwing Ninjas left behind a few corpses, they were forced to retreat deeper into the tunnel.
This time, the people from the three great system-allocated sects did not chase after them. Instead, they stopped at their original spots or sat down cross-legged to circulate their qi to restore the qi they used and heal their injuries.
"They're here again!" "Everyone, be careful!"
When they saw that the people from the seven great system-allocated sects did not chase after them, the Knife-throwing Ninjas, whose numbers had dwindled, stopped for a moment before they pressed forward once more. Their throwing knives flew into the hall with the sound of air being sliced.
However …
This time, the number of throwing knives had clearly decreased, and everyone felt very at ease.
The people from the seven great system-allocated sects attacked at the same time. Eight more corpses were added to the tunnel. The remaining two were finally unable to withstand the pressure and fled.
The tunnel was finally cleared!
