Chapter 259  : Splitting Throwing Knives, High-tier Throwing Knife Technique

The hall of the royal mausoleum was filled with dead corpses, and screams of pain could be heard nonstop.

More than one hundred people from the seven great system-allocated sects could be found dead. They lay quietly on the cold floor, and each of them had at least ten throwing knives stuck in their bodies. Fresh blood poured out from their bodies, and it spread through the ground and flowed out before it slowly formed mottled red streams that were terrifying to behold.

The entire hall looked like a river that had been dyed red with blood!

It was horrifying!

Cling cling, clang clang!

Countless black figures moved back and forth to dodge attacks in the hall that was less than one hundred and sixty-four feet tall and one hundred and thirty-one feet wide. They tried to avoid the countless throwing knives shooting out from the holes of Green Ghost Face Wall dozens of feet away from them.

Those throwing knives were different from the ones they usually saw. Each of them would split into three once they went out the door. Each of them went to where there were most people. Because of that, there would often be pained grunts, moans, and roars.

“Damn it!”

“Just what sort of trap is this?!”

Even if Shaolin Temple’s thirteen staff-using monks activated their Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill, it was still difficult for them to withstand so many throwing knives’ damage. The light of their body fortifications swiftly faded, and they lost a lot of their qi at a rapid pace.

Fortunately, they had very few people, and their overall strength made them rather outstanding among the seven great system-allocated sects. Hence, even up until that moment, none of them had died.

The disciples of Wudang Sect were slightly worse off. Once they entered the royal mausoleum, a few of them were shot full of holes by Ghost Face Wall. Fortunately, the elites of Wudang Sect were very extraordinary, and once their people suffered a few losses from the ambush, they quickly hid themselves behind a pillar and temporarily avoided the disaster.

However, the other sects’ losses were greater...

Kunlun Sect had the highest number of people with them. Once that large group from Soaring Tiger Sect entered, their first reaction was not to dodge, but to create a safe environment for the people behind them. Needless to say, they had ignored the damage caused by the throwing knives!

The people without body fortification techniques at high realms were instantly shot through, and they crashed on the floor with heavy injuries. They bled nonstop. Then, for some baffling reason, they felt pain blossom in their bodies and lost consciousness.

Most of those with body fortification techniques at high realms only had low-tier body fortification techniques. There were only a handful who had high-tier body fortification techniques, and among them, there were very few who had them at high realms.

In the face of the high-tier throwing knife technique, their bodies were not much sturdier than paper. No one could say how many knives their body fortifications could withstand before they collapsed.

Once the people in front died, Soaring Tiger Sect finally realized that the situation was off. They cried out for their companions to avoid the hidden weapons using the stone pillars so that they could prolong their stay in the hall.

However, hiding behind the stone pillars did not necessarily mean that they were safe.

When the players were killed by the throwing knives that suddenly split up when they grazed the stone pillars, the hall descended into chaos. Everyone moved without a direction to avoid the splitting throwing knives that filled the entire area.

Most people had pale faces and only hoped to leave the stupid place.

It was a pity that the royal mausoleum was clearly not a place that people could enter and leave at will.

The players who tried to leave in despair fled like headless flies and knocked into each other at the entrance. All of them without exception were killed by the throwing knives. The shooting range of high-tier throwing knives was far enough that it could reach every corner of the hall.

As more people entered, more corpses piled up in the hall...

“Everyone! We can’t go on like this!”

There was a young man from Wudang Sect who seemed to have quite a high status. While he executed Cloud-Ascending Ladder to avoid the throwing knives, he roared and contacted the other people in the hall.

“We have to work together, or else we’ll all die!”

“That’s right!”

“But who will break that stupid Ghost Face Wall?!”

“All seven great system-allocated sects, send a group of people with high-tier body fortification techniques. Even if we lose our lives in the process, we have to destroy that door!” The young man from Wudang Sect had extraordinary lightness skill, but he was still injured by a throwing knife. He staggered, but he still hastily struck while the iron was hot and strengthened everyone’s resolve.

“Alright!”

“All thirteen of us from Shaolin Temple will enter!” a loud voice swiftly answered Wudang Sect’s suggestion.

It belonged to one of the thirteen staff-using monks!

“Shaolin Temple, I, Ouyang Qing, admire you for being able to send all of your people up to fight!”

The disciples of Wudang Sect were filled with great joy, and they placed their palms in their hands to salute them across the distance.

“Alright, Kunlun Sect will send ten elites with body fortification techniques!”

The attitude of the thirteen staff-using monks delighted the other sects, and they quickly gave their responses.

“While we of Kongtong Mountain Sect don’t have many people with us, we can still send out around a dozen elites with body fortification techniques!” Hidden Soul Guild said.

“Beggar’s Sect is also willing to contribute!”

A few Beggar’s Sect disciples with flashy clothing moved out.

While they gathered together, Emei Sect and Mount Hua Sect’s people finally entered the hall. They saw the horrifying sight before them, along with the scene of one hundred or so disciples from five sects hiding behind pillars in an incredibly pathetic manner while they shifted and moved about to avoid the throwing knives that filled the hall.

The expressions of the people from Emei Sect and Mount Hua Sect changed drastically.

“One Circle! Bum!”

Phoenix Dances reacted very quickly. When she saw the disciples from the five sects running around madly while the countless throwing knives split up to attack them and the corpses all over the ground, she immediately understood that the throwing knives could not be withstood recklessly. She then summoned two people.

Black figures moved, and two people measured in tonnes shot out from the back of the group without hesitation. They rushed to stand in front of their sect.

It was as if the throwing knives behind Ghost Face Wall had noticed another large group of people enter the royal mausoleum, and they gave up on aiming at the people who were moving around to dodge them. They concentrated a part of their fire power on the group at the entrance.

“Urk!”

A muffled grunt came from the fatty who had a round shape and looked completely harmless. The air shuddered violently, and a black light swiftly retracted from everywhere to form a black item that resembled a suit of armor on One Circle’s body.

Clang! Clang!

The throwing knives in the lead inevitably knocked into the black armor on One Circle’s body.

Wisps of black smoke scattered from the black armor because of the crash.

The rest of the armor swiftly released black smoke to quickly mend the wounded area, and the color swiftly became fainter.

After one round of attacks, most of the astonishing armor scattered, and it returned to become a normal body fortification.

“What the heck?!”

The young fatty was so scared that he felt his soul leaving his body. Cold sweat broke out on his skin.

He had wanted to show off in front of the many beauties and their coursemates, but he did not expect that he would not be able to last for long. After just one round of attacks, the first layer of his automatic body fortification at Grandmaster Realm was mostly destroyed, and it might be difficult for him to withstand the next round of attacks without suffering any damage.

“Bum! I can’t last anymore!” the young fatty cried out with a pale face, but he did not dare move away, and his expression was very amusing.

But the other sects could not laugh!

They knew full well just how great the damage of the throwing knives were. Even the thirteen staff-using monks from Shaolin Temple no longer had the courage to receive the attacks after withstanding a few of them. The inconspicuous fatty, however, had foolishly withstood around a dozen of the splitting throwing knives, and his body fortification was not even destroyed. It was likely that the boy’s high-tier body fortification technique had already reached the supreme stage—Grandmaster Realm.

The five great sects no longer dared to look down on the students.

“I saw it.”

Butt Shaker quickly went up with a nervous look to take away some of the pressure from One Circle.

He knew just how great One Circle’s body fortification was, and if that moving tank who was known to never be hurt by anything could not last for long, it was obvious just how great was the damage of the trap in the royal mausoleum.

At that moment, the five great sects stopped letting Beautiful Robes Faction withstand the firepower alone.

“Everyone! A chance!”

The people from the five sects moved together. Each sect sent around a dozen people who activated their body fortification techniques. They then rushed at the green Ghost Face Wall from different directions.
