Since Tao Jin was asking Xu Ning for help, Tao Qingping didn’t want to bother them, so he went straight back to his room.
Tao Jin and Xu Ning went into Xu Ning’s house.
“What martial arts problems do you have?”
Xu Ning entered the living room, boiled a pot of water on top of the stove, and motioned Tao Jin to sit down.
Tao Jin looked around Xu Ning’s room.
“I’m puzzled…”
Tao Jin pondered for a moment, instead of answering Xu Ning’s question, she asked, “Xu Ning, how come you didn’t have a good reputation in the Tao Village in the first few years, but ever since last fall, you seemed to have suddenly become a genius and begin advance continuously?”
“As for me, I have stopped progressing, and it seems that there is no possibility of improvement anymore.”
Tao Jin’s tone was calm. She did not look disappointed.
“You are a little too pessimistic.”
Xu Ning didn’t know if this counted as helping Tao Jin. “It is normal for you to encounter difficulties. You were promoted to the inner enrichment realm, so your martial arts talent is definitely not bad. It’s just that you can’t advance for now.”
“As for me…” Xu Ning paused, “everything happened to click last fall, so it went smoother for me.”
“After all, life is mostly luck.”
Xu Ning added.
Tao Jin looked at Xu Ning with empty eyes.
Xu Ning noticed that Tao Jin seemed off when she walked in. Ever since then, he had been observing her closely.
Tao Jin seemed uncomfortable, like she wanted to waste time.
In fact, since the beginning, Tao Jin did not intend to poison Xu Ning.
Although Xu Ning was an outsider, he was still part of the Tao Village.
Tao Jin wouldn’t do anything to hurt her companions.
Tao Jin was ready to delay Guan Qingwu’s request.
Afterwards, she only needed to tell Guan Qingwu that she could not find an opportunity to poison Xu Ning.
Guan Qingwu might not believe her, but he wouldn’t punish her for it either.
As for what to do next, Tao Jin already had other plans.
“I…”
Tao Jin was about to say something, but Xu Ning suddenly stopped her.
Xu Ning got up and stretched his muscles.
“Wait a minute.”
Tao Jin was puzzled by Xu Ning’s words. “Let me greet the new guest first.”
Tao Jin had a stunned expression. She didn’t know how to respond.
She then saw Xu Ning suddenly become violent.
Xu Ning’s skin color suddenly darkened, and the internal qi inside his body became violent.
With a knife in his hand, he leaped off the ground and jumped into the air.
Xu Ning’s overpowering force created cracks on the ground.
Xu Ning’s body was like an arrow. He instantly shot through the roof.
The roof bricks and tiles were broken.
Guan Qingwu, who had been lurking in secret on the roof, was shocked.
He watched Xu Ning suddenly appear on top of the roof, coming at him with a knife.
“Ha!”
Xu Ning shouted.
The blade of the short knife was instantly filled with force.
Xu Ning’s speed was so fast that Guan Qingwu could only sense it subconsciously, but his body was unable to respond.
He could only try to lean sideways, trying to avoid Xu Ning’s slash towards his chest.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Although Guan Qingwu was not pierced in the heart, a huge wound was torn open between his chest and abdomen, deep to the bone.
Xu Ning’s surging and fierce internal force was directly injected into Guan Qingwu’s body.
Instantly, Guan Qingwu felt a severe pain in his chest.
Even so, Guan Qingwu still resisted the pain. He immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then he turned around and fled.
Guan Qingwu was confused.
He just wanted to hear the conversation between Tao Jin and Xu Ning.
After all, Tao Jin had just been recruited by him. He still needed to check whether she had other intentions.
He had external skills in the perfection realm, and was in the mortal realm sixth stage, so how was he discovered?
‘I had even entered the Black Armored Guards camp many times, and no one noticed me then!’
‘What is going on?’
However, Guan Qingwu had no time to think about all this, he just wanted to escape.
“Stay here longer, my fellow guest!”
Xu Ning didn’t give Guan Qingwu a chance to escape at all.
Right now, Guan Qingwu was injured, and Xu Ning was experienced in chasing after suspects.
Xu Ning felt the movement of the airflow and he threw out the short knife in his hand.
The short knife instantly pierced through Guan Qingwu’s achilles tendon.
Xu Ning immediately closed the distance.
He clenched his fists and slammed it into Guan Qingwu’s back. Guan Qingwu’s body collapsed, and blood spilled from his mouth.
Xu Ning squeezed Guan Qingwu’s neck, pulled him back, and broke his jaw.
Xu Ning then threw out four punches, breaking Guan Qingwu’s four limbs.
There was no doubt that this was a major character in the Magic Faction, and he happened to be caught by him.
Xu Ning grabbed Guan Qingwu and threw him back into the house.
Tao Qingping, who heard the noises, rushed over.
After seeing Guan Qingwu laying on the ground, Tao Qingping was stunned.
As for Tao Jin, she was dumbfounded. She just stared at Guan Qingwu on the ground in disbelief.
‘It took him just a few seconds to defeat Guan Qingwu?’
“Xu Ning, what is going on?”
Tao Qingping asked quickly.
“I caught a Magic Faction warrior.”
Xu Ning smiled.
“What a shame, this house is destroyed.”
Xu Ning looked at the messy house.
Tao Jin looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning also looked at her.
Almost instinctively, Tao Jin felt that Xu Ning might have noticed something.
“Looks like we’ll be able to reveal some big secrets again.”
Tao Qingping was overjoyed.
“What?”
Xu Ning suddenly realized something.
He turned his head to look at Guan Qingwu on the ground.
Guan Qingwu’s face had a tragic smile.
There was helplessness in the smile, but there seemed to be a hint of success.
‘Sh*t!’
Xu Ning leaned forward, but Guan Qingwu’s head tilted over.
Xu Ning saw that Guan Qingwu was dead.
“Suicide by poison…”
Xu Ning came to a conclusion.
Just now he had made sure that he wouldn’t let Guan Qingwu suicide.
“I don’t know how he poisoned himself…”
After seeing Guan Qingwu’s dark red blood, Xu Ning felt helpless.
Obviously, he had broken his jaw and crippled his limbs.
“He’s dead?”
Tao Qingping leaned forward with a look of disappointment.
If he was alive, they would definitely be able to get more information.
“What should we do?”
Tao Qingping looked at Xu Ning.
“Report it, go directly to Captain Qu.”
Xu Ning replied.
This was their only option.
“Tao Jin, are you okay?”
Xu Ning said with concern.
“I’m fine.”
Tao Jin was in a mix of emotions.
Her mind was confused.
Guan Qingwu was dead, did this mean that no one knew that she was practicing a magic technique anymore?
‘No…’
Tao Jin realized that there might be other people from the Shadowblood Sect who knew about this.
“Tao Jin, you’ll have to reschedule your session with Xu Ning. We’re going to be busy tonight.”
Tao Qingping said.
“Okay.”
Tao Jin nodded.
She looked at Xu Ning again and left.
“Why does Tao Jin seem weird?”
Tao Qingping was a little confused.
“Maybe she is scared.”
Xu Ning’s eyes narrowed.
“Maybe…”
Tao Qingping didn’t bother with this problem anymore. He just picked up Guan Qingwu’s corpse and went to find Qu Dayou.
Xu Ning quickly followed behind.
