Chapter 373: Walk on the Reincarnation Bridge
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Happy ignored the attacks from the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the hall of the royal mausoleum and just waited for around ten minutes at the entrance!
When the Living Door of the royal mausoleum closed, there was still not a single person who had entered the royal mausoleum after him. There was only Happy in the cold and deserted hall.
He instantly smiled.
Hai Dongqing had a proper understanding of the situation and did not choose to mix himself into the mess. Barren Murderer had also noticed the great killing intent coming from the royal mausoleum, and he chose to avoid it. Because of it, the appearance of the two sects provided Happy with a chance to completely monopolize the royal mausoleum.
Even though Tang Feng’s appearance had left him incredibly displeased, it still indirectly allowed him a great chance to clear the royal mausoleum without being bothered by anything else.
Although he had taken owners.h.i.+p of most of the resources during the first few times he visited the royal mausoleum, he left many of the side halls alone, as well as the Soldier Puppets. He had missed from ten to twenty masterpieces in them.
Besides, once he wore Golden Armor Set, his defense had increased drastically, and he even thought about attacking Old Swordsman to s.n.a.t.c.h the Supreme Emperor Sword Technique in his body.
It was a supreme-grade sword technique manual at Life and Death Realm.
Supreme Emperor Sword Technique could be considered as the best among all sword techniques at its level.
*****
Happy spent more than two hours to kill all the ninjas, Soldier Puppets, and Ninja King. Then, he walked through the royal mausoleum with the heirloom seal and a stern expression.
Old Swordsman still had his straight back turned toward Happy, and it prevented people from being able to see any signs of old age. His hair was long and white, and he gave off the solitary and arrogant air of someone who stood high above others.
*****
Dressed in Golden Armor Set, Happy walked into the tomb slowly. This time, he did not touch the heirloom seal. Instead, he stared at Old Swordman’s back.
Clear Abyss appeared in his hands, and he held it tightly.
Seven Stars Sword Styles.
Purple, red, and blue light surrounded the sword, and with the astonis.h.i.+ng presence that spread out from Happy’s body, they formed an astonis.h.i.+ng sword glare which was pointed at Old Swordsman.
Happy did not know whether it was because he had been triggered or provoked by his confidence or by the cold sword will, but Old Swordsman turned around slowly and spoke in a stiff and numb manner.
“Interesting.”
‘What?’
Happy was stunned for a moment.
His experience from his previous life told him that Old Swordsman only ever said one line, and while it was domineering, aloof, proud, and deadly, it was stiff and numb.
Hence, when he heard Old Swordsman say something else, Happy was instantly stunned. He sized up Old Swordsman when he turned around with a gaze full of incredulity.
‘Strange.’
The person was the same as the Old Swordsman he usually saw. His face was cold and stiff, and while he looked as if he were alive, the softness that was unique to real people was missing.
“What’s going on?”
Happy’s eyes shone with a complicated look, but Old Swordsman simply moved forward.
‘d.a.m.n it!’
It was a very normal sword draw.
It looked like a breathtaking light of an unparalleled degree flew out from the sword sheath, like a shooting star had shot through the royal mausoleum, and it was so fast that it was like nothing Happy had ever seen. It was terrifying to behold!
At the instant Old Swordsman drew his sword, Happy’s heart and soul had been completely attracted by that sword sheath, and he instantly fell into a daze, which was why he could not avoid or parry the attack.
He could only watch as Old Swordsman instantly destroyed his Golden Bell Coc.o.o.n and pierced his body.
A wave of pain swiftly spread through his limbs from his chest.
‘His sword is so fast…’
Happy’s face was full of shock and disbelief. He lowered his head to look at the hole that had appeared at the left side of the chest on his Golden Armor, along with the blood that gushed out from it. His mind was blank for a few seconds, then the moment his consciousness was about to disappear, two thoughts appeared in his mind.
‘No way! When did Old Swordsman become so strong?!
‘…What a troll.’
*****
Happy’s consciousness floated to a monochrome world that had only shades of black and white.
He saw the government made road outside the city.
With a solemn expression, a man with the cloth on his back torn to shreds revealed an armor with countless metal holes while staring at the young man who held a sword across from him.
“You do live up to your name as the first on the Famous People Rank.”
*****
“I lost.”
Tang Feng had a dejected expression while the group of Tang Sect disciples opened a path after they sighed, admitting Happy’s superiority. They allowed Happy to leave while wearing his Golden Armor Set.
*****
“Those Tang Sect disciples had received your instructions then.”
Happy slowly walked out of the bamboo forest. He stared at the group of extraordinary men and women standing at the entrance of the royal mausoleum.
*****
“I’m Hai Dongqing. The wanderers thought highly of me, so they came to call me Loving Sword.”
Hai Dongqing stopped in front of Happy with a face full of smiles.
“It’s truly an honor for me to meet a famous player like Happy today.”
*****
With his back turned toward Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace, Happy spoke in an airy voice.
“Since Tang Feng did not manage to hold me back, I believe that Towering Palace should withdraw from this fight. The weapons are blind in the hall of the royal mausoleum. If I end up injuring any of you by accident, I will not be able to forgive myself, and at that time, I will be too ashamed to meet Brother Shangguan.”
Once he finished speaking, he entered Eight Trigrams Bewitching Matrix.
*****
Happy sat in meditative silence in the hall of the royal mausoleum.
*****
Those ninjas who tried to block his path were all crushed.
*****
After her fought against Ninja King, he picked up the loot…
*****
Then, he saw Old Swordsman’s back…
“Interesting.”
Old Swordsman turned around slowly. His fingers were powerful, his eyes burned with life, and with a strange posture, he drew his sword!
Whine!
A powerful and shocking force from the sword surged at Happy, and it was strong enough to break his defenses.
At the same time, an invisible sword will shot out like a snake out of the sheath. Then, at an even faster speed and the defense on the sword, it struck first and pierced the Golden Armor.
Happy was like a statue that had lost its life. He stood for a long time in front of Old Swordsman, his blood falling drop by drop to the ground.
‘This is… Old Swordsman’s secret technique?’
Boom!
Just when Happy vaguely heard the system’s notification, a powerful suction force reached him. The gray world in front of his eyes immediately turned into an indistinct whirlpool. The sight before him changed, and he appeared on a dilapidated wooden bridge with cold wind blowing against him.
Creeeaaakk.
The wooden bridge let out creaking sounds under the wind, and it looked as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
However, the people walking on it did not seem to notice anything. They just walked forward numbly and received a bowl of something from a kind-looking old woman on the bridge.
Soon, it was Happy’s turn.
“Forget all the troubles you had in your previous life and start anew. Come, boy.” The kind-looking old woman handed over a bowl of yellow soup. The soup let out waves of alluring aroma.
Ding!
The system’s notification arrived.
“Will you drink the Five-flavored Soup of Forgetfulness, forget everything, and start anew?”
When he heard the familiar notification, Happy felt dazed. Everything seemed to have returned to his previous life.
He had pa.s.sed through Reincarnation Bridge multiple times and met the Lady of Forgetfulness multiple times.
In the end, once he was killed more than ten times, Happy chose to start again, and from then on, he completely vanished from the world of martial artists.
When he thought of this, Happy’s mind cleared up, and he flung away the Five-flavored Soup of Forgetfulness without hesitation.
The Lady of Forgetfulness’ expression instantly changed!
“Who let you come here?!”
A loud voice and a powerful might came charging at Happy from all directions, and its echoes rang nonstop!
A powerful wave of weakness instantly surged into his heart. Everything around him immediately vanished, and his surroundings changed. Happy stood up in a broken down Guanlin Temple.
A group of players who had died not too long ago cursed about something, but when they saw a man dressed in Golden Armor Set and holding an eye-catching tri-colored sword walk out with a pale face, all of them cried out in surprise!
