Chapter 166 The Power of Dao Soldiers: Killing Those Above Their Level

"Did you recognize me...?"

Xu Ning wasn't too surprised when Fang Jie asked so directly.

After unleashing the Yinghuo Sword and the Yueshui Sword, Xu Ning knew that Fang Jie could guess his identity.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fang."

Xu Ning removed her mask, revealing her true face.

This was his first formal meeting with Fang Jie.

"Junior Brother Xu Ning, you've truly broadened my horizons."

Fang Jie smiled slightly, not at all surprised that Xu Ning knew his identity: "When I first heard about you, you seemed to be only at the Qualitative Transformation Realm, but now, in such a short time, you have already advanced to the Tongyin Realm. Your talent is far superior to mine and Senior Brother He's. You are truly the number one genius of the Yuelan Sect."

"Senior Brother Fang, you flatter me."

With his identity revealed, Xu Ning adopted a friendly demeanor: "To meet Senior Brother Fang while traveling outside the sect feels like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Since we are fellow disciples, let's consider today's misunderstanding cleared up, shall we?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Fang Jie laughed loudly: "There is no misunderstanding, but some of the things that Junior Brother has done seem to violate the sect rules."

"You killed a core member of a subordinate family of the sect. If this gets out, you will likely face punishment from the Punishment Hall. Moreover, as the sect leader's disciple, the sect leader may also be affected by you, and his prestige will be damaged."

"Senior Brother Fang, are you going to go to the Punishment Hall and report me?"

Xu Ning gave a forced smile, staring intently into Fang Jie's eyes.

"Logically speaking, as a disciple of a sect, it is perfectly reasonable to uphold the sect's rules. But you are, after all, my junior brother, and I cannot stand by and watch you be punished."

Fang Jie's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "How about this, Junior Brother, you hand over the Wind Attribute Dao Seal to me, and I'll keep this secret for you, okay?"

"Dao Yin Yao..."

Xu Ning smiled wryly.

He naturally couldn't believe what Fang Jie said.

Xu Ning didn't believe that Fang Jie, with his greedy appearance, would stop after just one Dao Seal Stone Tablet, since he had just revealed too many secrets.

Given Fang Jie's relationship with He Mingye, and Mi Xingye's relationship with Gu Juan, Fang Jie definitely wouldn't let him go.

If I were to compromise with him, I would face endless troubles later.

"This Xu Ning has quite a few secrets..."

While dealing with Xu Ning, Fang Jie was also thinking rapidly.

"Besides the Dao Seal, Xu Ning should also have a Dao Weapon on him."

Fang Jie was surprised to see Xu Ning's strength increase so dramatically before, but now he realized: "Moreover, that Dao weapon should be an all-attribute Dao weapon! If I'm not mistaken, he must have obtained this Dao weapon from the previous secret realm. And his advancement to the Tongyin Realm should also have been due to benefits he received from the secret realm."

Fang Jie's greed grew stronger: "Xu Ning must have a lot of good stuff on him now. I regretted missing out on this secret realm before, but now that he's offered it to me, I can't let it pass me by. I have to find a way to kill Xu Ning and seize all his treasures!"

"Alright, it's just a Dao Seal, I'll give it to Senior Brother Fang!"

Faced with Fang Jie's request, Xu Ning pretended to be generous.

"Junior brother is straightforward!"

Fang Jie didn't trust Xu Ning; he just wanted to see what kind of tricks Xu Ning would pull.

Xu Ning took two steps forward, manipulated the space in his ribs, took out the seal stone tablet from it, and placed it in front of Fang Jie.

"This is……"

Fang Jie was startled the moment he saw the Dao Seal Stone Tablet.

What shocked him so much was not the stone tablet itself, but the way Xu Ning used it.

"As expected, Xu Ning has quite a few opportunities within the secret realm!"

Xu Ning's actions only intensified Fang Jie's desire to kill Xu Ning and seize the treasure.

"Junior brother, what kind of technique is this?"

Fang Jie subtly licked the corner of his mouth: "This has truly broadened my horizons, senior brother."

"I once obtained a wondrous object in a secret realm, an object capable of holding quite a lot of things..."

Xu Ning seemed to have no guile whatsoever; he answered whatever Fang Jie asked directly.

"Senior brother, I've given you the item. You must keep it a secret for me."

Xu Ning glanced at the stone tablet with the seal, and then spoke to Fang Jie.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Junior brother, I'm really eyeing this rare item of yours. How about letting me take a look?"

"This is my secret, it's not appropriate for my senior brother to see it like this..."

Xu Ning feigned reluctance: "How about this, I obtained a weapon within the secret realm before. Why don't I take it out and let Senior Brother appreciate it?"

"good!"

Fang Jie appeared overjoyed, but in his heart, he felt a deep sense of dread towards Xu Ning.

He didn't believe Xu Ning was a fool; he couldn't fathom Xu Ning's current behavior at all.

Xu Ning slowly took two steps closer, closing the distance between them.

At this moment, both sides were on guard, fearing that the other side might suddenly attack.

Clang.

After getting close to Fang Jie, Xu Ning took out a pill furnace directly from his rib space.

"Is this a Daoist soldier from the alchemy furnace?"

When Fang Jie saw the alchemy furnace laid out, he could hardly hide the excitement in his eyes.

Although the alchemy furnace looked very ordinary, it gave Fang Jie a very special feeling.

With just one glance, he knew Xu Ning wasn't lying; this alchemy furnace was indeed a genuine Dao weapon.

"That's right, this is a weapon with all attributes."

Xu Ning's words only fueled Fang Jie's greed.

"Junior brother, may I take a closer look at this alchemy furnace?"

Fang Jie was prepared to forcibly erase Xu Ning's mark when he touched the alchemy furnace and then take it for himself.

Even if Xu Ning had other intentions, as long as I could seize his Dao weapon, he would be helpless.

"This alchemy furnace is truly a wonderful thing. Not only can it refine pills, but it can also enhance one's strength..."

At this moment, Fang Jie still thought that Xu Ning's sudden burst of strength was due to the enhancement provided by the alchemy furnace.

He never expected that Xu Ning had other Dao soldiers.

In Fang Jie's view, it is extremely rare to obtain even one Dao weapon, and it is impossible for anyone to possess two Dao weapons.

Because he hadn't entered the secret realm, Fang Jie didn't actually know about the vast resources within the Monster Map Secret Realm.

"Of course, please go ahead, senior brother."

Xu Ning didn't mind Fang Jie's request to touch the alchemy furnace.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jie stretched out his palm and placed it against the surface of the alchemy furnace.

"This is Dao Bing Yao..."

At this moment, Fang Jie had already begun to secretly accumulate power, intending to take advantage of Xu Ning's inability to react and prepare to erase Xu Ning's control mark at any time.

"Senior brother, you can take a look inside the alchemy furnace."

Just as Fang Jie was about to make a move, Xu Ning suddenly spoke.

"good……"

Interrupted, Fang Jie subconsciously reached out and pinched the lid of the alchemy furnace.

The stove lid was lifted, and Fang Jie instinctively stuck his head out and peeked inside.

Whoosh!

Just as Fang Jie stuck his head out, a fiery red sword shadow suddenly shot out from inside the alchemy furnace.

"Oh no! Xu Ning ambushed me!"

Fang Jie realized it instantly.

He reacted hastily, but it was too late.

The fiery red sword shadow shot out, aiming straight for Fang Jie's forehead.

In a panic, Fang Jie hurriedly urged all his strength to resist.

However, this was all so sudden.

Even though he tried his best to block and dodge the fiery red sword shadow, he was still seriously injured.

The fiery red sword shadow pierced through half of Fang Jie's face, and the elemental power flowed through the wound and directly into Fang Jie's entire body.

In just a moment, Fang Jie was seriously injured.

Xu Ning once obtained three Dao weapons from Chen Xiaoyi in one go.

Of those three Dao weapons, one of them is a fire-attribute longsword Dao weapon.

This soldier has already been marked with a control imprint by Xu Ning, who has mastered its use.

"Xu Ning, you are truly vicious!"

Fang Jie roared, his chest filled with boundless rage.

He wanted to chop Xu Ning into mincemeat, but he also knew that he was seriously injured and could not possibly be a match for Xu Ning, who possessed a weapon with all attributes.

Fang Jie quickly forced the soldier's longsword out and then tried his best to stop the injury.

Then he summoned the raptor to fly over, trying to escape.

"Same here, Senior Brother also wants to kill me and steal the treasure!"

Xu Ning had just sensed Fang Jie's murderous intent towards him, so he secretly made arrangements to kill Fang Jie in return.

With the help of Dao soldiers, Xu Ning's strength was comparable to Fang Jie's, or perhaps slightly superior.

Fang Jie was, after all, at the peak of the True Intent Realm, and had been carefully nurtured by Gu Juan, so his strength was unmatched among those of the same realm.

Therefore, if Xu Ning wants to get rid of Fang Jie, he has no choice but to take him by surprise and strike first.

Swish!

Fang Jie summoned the birds and beasts, and Xu Ning directly manipulated the fiery red longsword to cut them down with a single strike.

Then, countless sword imprints and fist imprints crashed down, surging towards Fang Jie like a tidal wave.

"Xu Ning!"

Enraged by Xu Ning, Fang Jie disregarded his injuries and charged madly at Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning also responded calmly.

Fang Jie attacked, and Xu Ning countered head-on. For a time, the two were evenly matched.

However, because Fang Jie was injured, the more they fought, the more he fell into a disadvantageous position.

"No, we have to escape! We have to escape first to have a chance for revenge!"

Gradually, Fang Jie also came to his senses and realized his situation.

While thinking about how to escape, Fang Jie overlooked the fact that there was a pill-making furnace behind him.

Whoosh! Clang!

Just as Fang Jie was facing Xu Ning head-on, he didn't notice at all that the alchemy furnace behind him suddenly flew up and smashed down on him.

Click.

Although the Dao Bing Dan Furnace was not particularly lethal, it could unleash tremendous power when used in a sneak attack, directly shattering a piece of Fang Jie's bones.

Fang Jie let out a painful scream and was knocked to the ground.

Xu Ning seized the opportunity, activated his arm guard Dao soldier, and wielded his longsword Dao soldier, carrying terrifying water and fire attribute power, and thrust it at Fang Jie.

"I am Elder Gu Juan's disciple, Xu Ning. If you kill me, my master will not let you off!"

In the final moments, Fang Jie shouted hysterically.

Xu Ning showed absolutely no mercy.

From the moment Fang Jie came looking for him, intending to kill him and steal his treasure, the situation became irreconcilable.

puff!

The three Taoist weapons unleashed their power simultaneously, extinguishing Fang Jie's will to live.
