Chapter 148 Kill!

"This thing is really troublesome!"

Bao Ruyuan continued to fight the black mist monster.

Although the black mist beast had limited destructive power, it had extremely strong regenerative abilities, and Bao Ruyuan could only weaken its strength by repeatedly breaking it apart.

Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour of fighting, Bao Ruyuan swung his sword again, unleashing several small wind blades that completely dispersed the black mist beast.

This time, the black mist beast did not condense again, but completely dissipated.

"Finally, it's solved!"

Bao Ruyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind relaxed a bit.

"This maze is fraught with danger; we must be extra careful."

After adjusting his mindset, Bao Ruyuan became even more cautious: "We must find a way to escape the maze quickly, otherwise, constantly encountering these strange things will probably cause a lot of trouble."

He was afraid of encountering more black mist beasts later on. If one was already so difficult to deal with, he would definitely be no match for several of them.

Holding a long sword, Bao Ruyuan cautiously made his way forward.

"Um?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Bao Ruyuan turned his head to look at the corner of the maze behind him.

Am I being too sensitive?

Bao Ruyuan thought that another black mist monster had appeared, but at a glance, he did not find anything unusual.

However, out of caution, Bao Ruyuan changed direction and walked towards that corner.

His steps were light, and he gripped his longsword tightly.

As he approached the corner, Bao Ruyuan darted forward, simultaneously holding his longsword in front of him.

However, there was no one in the passageway behind the corner.

"call……"

Bao Ruyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I was too nervous."

However, just as Bao Ruyuan was about to continue walking, he suddenly felt a slight chill behind his ear.

He turned around in horror and slashed down with his sword.

With a snap.

The sword strike was blocked.

"Xu Ning?!"

When Bao Ruyuan saw the appearance of the person who had blocked the sword, his eyes widened instantly.

Xu Ning easily grasped Bao Ruyuan's sword with his bare hands.

"Bao Ruyuan, we meet again!"

With a gentle flick of his fingertips, Xu Ning shattered the longsword in Bao Ruyuan's hand.

"This is troublesome!"

"He seems to have gotten stronger!"

Upon seeing this, Bao Ruyuan trembled with fear. He immediately threw down his sword hilt and turned to flee.

He was no match for Xu Ning to begin with, and now that he saw Xu Ning had become even stronger, he had no desire to fight at all.

"Could it be that he and Xie Wenyue not only survived, but also obtained an opportunity within the secret realm?"

Bao Ruyuan's mind was racing: "Damn it, why have they all reaped rewards, while I'm still empty-handed?"

Seeing Bao Ruyuan flee, Xu Ning didn't hesitate and threw a punch.

Suddenly, a massive fist imprint, resembling a tidal wave, appeared on the surface of the water and struck Bao Ruyuan's back with tremendous force.

Click, click.

Bao Ruyuan was sent flying like a kite with a short string, crashing into the wall.

At the same time, a crisp cracking sound came from his body.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Bao Ruyuan's face turned ashen.

"Sixth level of the Void Realm, belonging to the Form Realm!"

Bao Ruyuan leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning not only became stronger, but he also directly advanced to a higher realm.

"When I first fought him not long ago, he was only at the Qualitative Transformation Realm. How long has it been, and he's already at the Physical Form Realm?"

Bao Ruyuan felt his mind go completely blank.

"It actually managed to block an attack?"

Although Xu Ning did not use his full strength, he still thought he could kill him with one punch.

"It seems I underestimated Bao Ruyuan; after all, he is an elite among the true disciples of the Yue Lan Sect..."

However, although he didn't kill him in one blow, Xu Ning didn't mind.

If one punch isn't enough, then two punches will do.

The Tide Fist's giant fist imprint reappeared, hovering in mid-air.

"Xu Ning, spare me!"

Sensing Xu Ning's undisguised killing intent, Bao Ruyuan quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong to offend you before. Once we're out of the secret realm, I'll make it up to you a hundredfold. Whatever you want, I'll give you!"

"Furthermore, I'm willing to join forces with you to deal with Chen Xiaoyi. I've long disliked Chen Xiaoyi; if the two of us work together, even if he's at the Tongyin Realm, we might not be a match for him!"

"Xu Ning, spare me!"

Bao Ruyuan spoke rapidly, pleading for mercy repeatedly.

However, Bao Ruyuan's attitude could not sway Xu Ning's heart at all.

Xu Ning ignored his chatter.

Bang!

The massive handprint of the Tidal Fist, suspended in mid-air, crashed down instantly.

Click click click!

Bao Ruyuan's chest collapsed.

In his final moments, Bao Ruyuan did not utter another word.

His head lolled to the side, and he died.

"One has been taken care of."

Xu Ning muttered to himself.

The two first became enemies in the True Inheritance Square within the sect. After entering the secret realm, Bao Ruyuan joined forces with Chen Xiaoyi to kill Xu Ning. Although they failed, it still brought Xu Ning to the brink of death.

In addition, Bao Ruyuan's family also had a great grudge against him.

Xu Ning felt relieved to have resolved the matter.

Then, Xu Ning stepped forward and patted him down.

However, Xu Ning only received a medicine packet and didn't get any other resources.

"It seems he expended quite a bit of energy in this secret realm..."

Xu Ning directly put the medicine packet into his rib space.

The pills in the medicine packet were all functional healing pills, containing little energy, so Xu Ning didn't absorb them but simply put them away.

Next, Xu Ning prepared to destroy the evidence.

If he were discovered by disciples from other sects within the maze, and they managed to find some clues, then once he left the secret realm, he might be targeted by the Punishment Hall.

Although the chances of this happening are extremely low, it's better to deal with it quickly out of caution.

However, just as Xu Ning was about to ignite the Annihilation Flame, a pair of black, misty claws suddenly emerged from within the wall and, with lightning speed, pulled Bao Ruyuan's body into the wall.

Before Xu Ning could react, Bao Ruyuan's body had already vanished.

"this……"

Xu Ning was also on high alert.

"This stone hall is truly eerie..."

Xu Ning thought to himself, "Although it was left behind by the human expert Shi Fengxu, the hall is full of traces of demonic beasts... How strange..."

After dealing with Bao Ruyuan, Xu Ning did not linger but continued searching for the maze exit and Chen Xiaoyi's whereabouts.

Another hour passed.

During this time, Xu Ning did not encounter any other fellow disciples within the maze.

He searched and explored, but still couldn't find the exit.

Wow.

At this moment, a cloud of black mist condensed in front of Xu Ning, transforming into a menacing black mist monster.

"The Sword of the River!"

Xu Ning transformed his hand into a sword finger and slashed through the void.

The black mist beast had just condensed when it was instantly sliced ​​in half.

After that, the black mist never regrouped.

Within this maze, Xu Ning had lost count of how many of these black mist monsters he had defeated.

For Bao Ruyuan, dealing with the Black Mist Beast would require a lot of effort, but for Xu Ning, a single sword finger strike would suffice.

Since advancing to the Form Realm, Xu Ning has been able to unleash his full strength with the help of sword and fist imprints. In addition, with the addition of Dao weapons, Xu Ning has already placed the two swords that He Mingye gave him into his rib space.

"If I keep groping around like this, I might remain trapped in this maze for a long time..."

Xu Ning currently has no clue how to get out of the area.

Just then, another cloud of black mist appeared.

"Again?"

Xu Ning was getting a little impatient with the black mist beast.

"Um?"

However, this time, the black mist monster that appeared was different from the previous ones.

This time, the Black Mist Beast was not only enormous in size, but its body was also more materialized; it no longer only had an upper body, but also a lower body.

Inside its body, one can vaguely see a round bead emitting a faint light.

"Much stronger than the previous Black Mist Beast!"

Xu Ning moved aside, and the sword imprints of the Yue Shui Sword and the Ying Huo Sword appeared simultaneously, slashing at the body of the black mist monster.

Flames and water ripples spread simultaneously from the black mist beast.

Both of these sword imprints utilize the annihilation property, enabling them to deplete the black mist beast to the greatest extent possible.

"The effect is not obvious..."

Xu Ning discovered that after the flames and water waves annihilated and devoured parts of the black mist beast's body, they filled the gaps again.

The energy that replenishes the black mist comes from the bead inside its body.

"We need to pry out or smash the bead inside its body!"

Xu Ning, now a seasoned veteran, quickly grasped the key point.

"Daoist soldiers!"

Xu Ning wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he directly activated the arm guards on his forearm.

Strange silver patterns flow across the surface of the arm guards.

Xu Ning's body was covered with an external armor activated by the Flame Breath Bone-Generating Scripture.

This time, Xu Ning charged straight forward, his hand transforming into a claw, and reached out to grab the enormous black mist beast.

stab.

Xu Ning tore apart the outer layer of the black mist beast, then reached into its body.

The black mist beast was immediately terrified and attacked Xu Ning frantically.

However, protected by the external armor, Xu Ning remained calm. He grabbed the glowing orb and forcefully pulled it out of the black mist beast's body.

The moment Xu Ning pulled out the glowing orb, the even more powerful black mist beast that had been condensed this time, like the previous ones, immediately disintegrated and dissipated.

"Resolved..."

Xu Ning held the glowing bead in his hand and felt a cool sensation on its surface.

Then, the glowing orb first dimmed, and then a beam of white light shot out, directly illuminating the wall in front of it.

Click click click.

The wall of the maze, illuminated by the white light, transformed into a stone door.

"Is this the exit?"

Xu Ning realized this.

"No wonder we couldn't find any clues to get out. It turns out that the maze's exit will only appear after we kill a complete Black Mist Beast."

Xu Ning pushed open the stone door.

Beyond the stone gate lies another twisting space.

Xu Ning didn't hesitate any longer and walked straight in.

Then came the familiar feeling of weightlessness.

Another node transfer is about to begin.

……

"I was indeed the first one to get out of the maze!"

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyi appeared inside a magnificent, golden hall.

Just now, he killed a complete black mist monster, obtained the round bead, and opened the stone door.

After entering the stone gate, Chen Xiaoyi appeared here.

"That is..."

Chen Xiaoyi's gaze fell on the center of the main hall.

There was a high platform there, and on the platform, three weapons wrapped in a light membrane floated.

A knife, a sword, a flying sickle.

Their surfaces are engraved with radiant patterns unique to Dao soldiers.

"Three Dao weapons! There are actually three Dao weapons!"

Chen Xiaoyi burst into laughter.

Previously, I was quite bothered by the lack of Dao weapons, but now I have three Dao weapons right in front of me, within easy reach.

Chen Xiaoyi couldn't wait and quickly went over.

"drink!"

Chen Xiaoyi's fist condensed a dark yellow light, and with three consecutive strikes, he shattered the protective barrier surrounding the Dao soldier.

Three different Daoist weapons were placed in front of Chen Xiaoyi.

"This flying scythe is an earth-elemental weapon!"

After testing it, Chen Xiaoyi discovered that the flying sickle matched his attributes.

"I will use this flying scythe myself from now on. As for the swords and other weapons, I can exchange them for resources or even contribute them to the sect!"

Chen Xiaoyi's eyes were filled with excitement.

"If I contribute the Dao weapons to the sect, I will be credited with a great achievement, and my status will surpass He Mingye's. If I can also win the support of several elders, I will be qualified to compete with He Mingye for the position of sect leader!"

Chen Xiaoyi immediately put away the three Dao weapons, unable to contain his smile.

What was that sound?

Just then, Chen Xiaoyi suddenly heard a rustling sound.

He quickly looked up and saw that the lifelike murals of monsters on the wall had suddenly begun to distort.

Then, they emerged from the mural and surrounded Chen Xiaoyi.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

He roughly counted them and found that there were actually dozens of monsters emerging from the murals.

Each of them was at the Void Realm level, and there were nearly ten high-level Void Realm demonic beasts among them!

Chen Xiaoyi immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Even though he has now obtained the Flying Scythe Dao Soldier of the same kind, Chen Xiaoyi is still filled with fear.

"As expected, these three Dao weapons won't be so easy to obtain!"

Chen Xiaoyi was getting anxious. Even if he got the Dao weapon, what was the point if he couldn't get out alive?

Just as Chen Xiaoyi was at a loss, the space inside the hall distorted once again.

Xu Ning's figure appeared in the main hall.

"Chen Xiaoyi!"

"Xu Ning?!"

The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Chen Xiaoyi, there are still so many demonic beasts..."

Xu Ning quickly realized his situation.

"You didn't die, and you even made it through the first level of the maze?"

Chen Xiaoyi sensed that Xu Ning had not only fully recovered from his injuries, but had also made further progress in his skills.

Immediately, Chen Xiaoyi's eyes darted around, and he said, "Xu Ning, we're both trapped here, surrounded by danger. As fellow disciples, why don't we put aside our differences and join forces to deal with these demonic beasts? What do you think?"

At this moment, dozens of demonic beasts pressed closer and closer to the two of them.

Xu Ning did not respond to Chen Xiaoyi's words, but instead looked at the circle of demonic beasts around him.

At this moment, Xu Ning looked somewhat puzzled. Although he was surrounded by demonic beasts, he didn't feel any danger. On the contrary, as he stared at each of the demonic beasts, he saw something in their eyes...

fear?
