Chapter 248 Merited?

The bald man and the scar-faced man were already fighting with Cheng Zengtao and the other three.

Although the two were injured, it was still easy to deal with Cheng Zengtao and the other three.

‘I’m not their opponent at all!’

Cheng Zengtao was anxious. ‘Where did the Sect Master go? I can’t sense his aura in the villa.’

Cheng Zengtao felt pressured by the two’s crazy attacks. “Leave quickly, I will hold them off!”

Cheng Zengtao said to Shao Xun and the other two, “Go to the Cheng family and find my uncle!”

The three of them also understood that if they stayed here, they would not be of much use. They would only bring trouble to Cheng Zengtao.

Therefore, Shao Xun and the other two left the battlefield when they found an opportunity. “You want to leave?”

The scar-faced man and the bald man sneered. One of them stopped Cheng Zengtao, while the other caught up with Shao Xun and the other two.

However, at this critical moment, several astral qi flew over and interrupted their attack.

Xu Ning appeared on the battlefield with Gray.

“Sect Master!”

Cheng Zengtao and the others panicked when they saw Xu Ning.

They were worried about Xu Ning’s whereabouts before Xu Ning appeared.

But now that Xu Ning had appeared, they were afraid that Xu Ning would be hurt, because in their opinion, Xu Ning’s strength was only in the astral qi realm. Faced with these two enemies, he would be in danger.

“Sect Master?”

The bald man and the scar-faced man looked at each other and smiled.

“Your Sect Master is only in the astral qi realm, isn’t he a little too weak?”

The bald man mocked.

“Sect Master, quickly follow Shao Xun and the others, we will cover the retreat!”

Cheng Zengtao immediately said.

Xu Ning ignored him.

A cyan wolf knife appeared in his hand, and he activated the power of the dao realm to face the enemy.

“Sect Master!”

Cheng Zengtao and the other three didn’t expect Xu Ning to take the initiative to attack them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The astral qi collided, but Xu Ning was not at a disadvantage. ‘What a strong foundation!’

The bald man and the scar-faced man sighed when they exchanged blows with Xu Ning.

Cheng Zengtao, who had fought against them before, was an origin returnance realm master, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn’t even raise his head.

Xu Ning’s realm was lower, but he was considerably more powerful.

“No wonder you can be a sect master, you have some strength.” The bald man and the scar-faced man had cold eyes.

“Sect Master is so strong!”

This was the first time Cheng Zengtao and the other three had witnessed Xu Ning’s strength.

“Come, let’s go to the Cheng family and ask for help!”

Shao Xun seized this opportunity and quickly left the battlefield with Tong Li and Ou Wei.

“Maybe they went to get reinforcements.”

The bald man and the scar-faced man couldn’t stop the three of them.

“Then let us use the secret treasure and end the battle quickly.”

The bald man knew very well that this place was not far from Liuyan County. It was likely to alert Canton Governor Manor.

Even if they activated the secret treasure at that time, they would be dead.

“Okay!”

The scar-faced man agreed.

A crystal appeared in each of their hands.

The piece in the bald man’s hand was green, while the piece in the scar-faced man’s hand was blue.

They poured their dao realm power into it, and the crystals burst out with a dazzling light.

Whoosh!

With the help of the crystals, the two activated several astral qi.

The color of their astral qi was dark green and blue respectively.

“The power of their astral qi has risen to a whole new level!

Xu Ning also noticed the crystals in their hands. “They are most likely secret treasures!”

“Sect Master, be careful!”

Cheng Zengtao also entered the battlefield, wanting to help Xu Ning.

Gray was also eager to enter.

Whoosh!

Just when the two were about to attack Xu Ning.

Suddenly, a gray fog enveloped the surroundings.

Xu Ning also used his secret treasure, the Wind Smoke Gourd, to release the gray fog.

‘What is this?’

The scar-faced man felt the gray fog entering his wounds.

His already painful wounds were even more painful.

‘I can’t see that person, nor can I sense the outside world! The two held crystals in their hands, but they couldn’t find Xu Ning. “Quick, get out of the gray fog!”

The bald man said.

However, Xu Ning appeared behind the scar-faced man with the cyan wolf knife.

Swoosh!

The knife slashed down, and the scar-faced man was caught off guard. He couldn’t dodge in time, and immediately a huge wound appeared on his back.

This instantly made him, who was already heavily injured, lose his combat power.

The scar-faced man began to lose consciousness. He had become a burden.

The bald man gritted his teeth and turned the long blade in his hand towards the scar-faced man.

Whoosh! The blade cut off the man’s head.

The bald man snatched the crystal from the scar-faced man’s hand, then burst out with his full strength and accelerated away from the range of the gray fog.

‘He attacked his own people so decisively!’

Xu Ning, who was hidden in the gray fog, didn’t expect the bald man to be so ruthless.

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the cyan wolf knife.

This time, after exerting his full strength, Xu Ning slashed again.

The bald man felt that danger was approaching. In an instant, the green crystal in his hand burst out with a strong light again, and a dark green barrier appeared around the bald man.

Bang!

Xu Ning slashed with his full strength, but the emerald barrier did not move at all.

‘The treasure in this person’s hand is of extraordinary quality…’

Although his attack did not succeed, Xu Ning did not panic at all.

The poisonous miasma from the gray fog and wind smoke had already invaded the bald man’s body. Sure enough, the bald man soon felt a stabbing pain in his body and spat out blood.

‘There was the power of natural poison in the gray fog!’

The power of the dao realm in his body weakened, and soon the bald man couldn’t support the protective shield.

Xu Ning saw this and attacked again.

Two slashes pierced through the bald man’s body, causing him to lose his combat power

er.

Xu Ning didn’t know where this person came from, so he wanted to capture him alive and interrogate him.

‘I didn’t expect to lose here after escaping from the pursuers from the King Mansion!’

The bald man knew that he had no chance to fight back.

“Instead of being captured alive and ending up in the hands of the prince, why don’t I end this

now!”

The bald man made up his mind and severed his own heart meridians.

“Hmm?”

Before Xu Ning could capture him, he noticed that the bald man had already died.

‘Not only is he decisive when dealing with his companions, but he is also extremely ruthless when dealing with himself.’

Xu Ning had never encountered such a fierce martial artist before.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning began to gather the gray fog and wind smoke back into the Wind Smoke Gourd.

‘I have used this gray fog many times, and it has become thinner. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to replenish the concentration of this gray fog.’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

The gray fog dissipated.

Only Xu Ning and two corpses were left on the battlefield.

‘Sect Master actually killed those two people!’

This scene completely exceeded Cheng Zengtao’s expectations.

He only knew that Xu Ning had a deep foundation and excellent aptitude, so he felt that Xu Ning had a lot of potential in the future.

But he didn’t expect Xu Ning to be able to kill enemies above his level.

“Hu…”

After seeing the gray fog dissipate and Xu Ning safe, Gray, who had not entered the battlefield yet, was relieved.

It had just advanced to the dao realm, so it could not find a good opportunity to enter just now, so it did not provide Xu Ning any help.

“Done.”

Xu Ning kept the cyan wolf knife and said to Cheng Zengtao.

Cheng Zengtao walked over, looking a little excited.

The more he knew about Xu Ning, the more terrifying Xu Ning was. He was more confident in the future of the Swallow Heron Sect. “Senior Brother Cheng, do you know where these two came from?”

Xu Ning asked Cheng Zengtao.

“They might be from Harmony King Mansion.”

Cheng Zengtao said, “Their dao weapons are the uniform weapons carried by the guards of the Harmony King Mansion.”

“People from Harmony King Mansion?” Xu Ning frowned.

State Guqing was the fief of Harmony King, and Harmony King Mansion was half the ruler of State Guqing.

“We had a feud with the Harmony King Mansion?”

Xu Ning asked. He didn’t want to become enemies with the Harmony King Mansion for no reason.

“No.”

Cheng Zengtao said, “These two suddenly appeared and attacked us for no reason.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning was still suspicious.

He looked at the two corpses and held the two crystals in his hand.

‘Can the guards of the Harmony King Mansion hold such secret treasures?’ Xu Ning was thinking. As he was deep in thoughts, Xu Ning suddenly looked up.

‘The aura of a mid-level dao realm master!’

Xu Ning felt the aura of a strong warrior approaching

Afterwards, two figures appeared in the villa.

Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao knew both of them.

One of them was the Head of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinxian, while the other was Wei Xiongjian, the Canton Governor of Guanghe Canton.

After the two arrived, they looked stunned.

They then saw the corpses of the bald man and the scar-faced man on the ground.

“These are the corpses of those two?”

Before Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao could greet them, Wei Xiongjian stepped forward and asked.

Just now, the Cheng family brought news that the suspected wanted men were in a villa outside the city.

Hearing this, Wei Xiongjian quickly left with Cheng Jinxian to check the situation.

Wei Xiongjian knew that if he could capture the two and retrieve the secret treasure for the prince, then it would be a great contribution.

Wei Xiongjian was still worried whether those two would escape in advance, but when he came here, he discovered that the battle was over.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning said, “These are the secret treasures we seized from them.”

Xu Ning handed the two crystals to Wei Xiongjian.

“That’s right, these are the secret treasures the prince lost!”

Wei Xiongjian checked and finally confirmed.

Wei Xiongjian was overjoyed.

“Family Head Cheng, your Cheng family has done a great job in this matter!”

Wei Xiongjian patted Cheng Jinxian’s shoulder and laughed.

“The secret treasures of the prince?”

Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao looked at each other and realized the truth.

These two should be the guards of the King Mansion who had stolen the secret treasures.

“You killed these two together?”

Wei Xiongjian asked Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao. “In response to the Canton Governor, I did not do anything to eliminate these two.”

Cheng Zengtao answered truthfully.

“Oh?”

Wei Xiongjian looked at Xu Ning.
