I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 249 Did he make a contribution?

At this moment, the bald man and the scarred man were already entangled in a fight with Cheng Zengtao and his three companions.

Although the two were injured, dealing with Cheng Zengtao and his three companions was still a piece of cake.

"They're no match for those two!"

Cheng Zengtao was anxious: "Where did the sect leader go? I couldn't sense his presence at all in the manor."

Faced with the two players' relentless attacks, Cheng Zengtao felt a lot of pressure.

"You two go quickly, I'll hold them off!"

Cheng Zengtao transmitted his voice to Shao Xun and the other two: "Go to the Cheng family quickly and find my uncle!"

The three of them then realized that staying here would not be of any use to them, and would only cause trouble for Cheng Zengtao.

Taking advantage of a lull, Shao Xun and his two companions immediately left the battlefield.

"Trying to leave?"

The scarred man and the bald man sneered. One of them blocked Cheng Zengtao, while the other chased after Shao Xun and his two companions.

However, at this critical moment, several streams of energy suddenly flew over, interrupting their attack.

Xu Ning, dressed in gray, appeared on the battlefield.

"metropolitan!"

When Cheng Zengtao and the others saw Xu Ning, they were all flustered.

Xu Ning had not shown up before, and they were worried about his whereabouts.

When Xu Ning appeared, they worried that he might be harmed, because in their view, Xu Ning's strength was only at the Qi Refining Realm, and he would be in danger when facing these two enemies.

"metropolitan?"

The bald man and the scarred man exchanged a smile.

"Your sect leader is only at the Qi Refining Realm; isn't that rather weak?"

The bald man made a mocking remark.

"Sect Leader, quickly follow Shao Xun and the others; we'll cover their retreat!"

Cheng Zengtao immediately said.

Xu Ning ignored him.

He drew his Azure Wolf Blade, channeling the power of his Dao Realm, and charged directly at his enemy.

"metropolitan!"

Cheng Zengtao and his three companions never expected that Xu Ning would take the initiative to attack, fighting two against one.

Bang bang bang!

The two energies clashed, and Xu Ning was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"Such a profound cultural heritage!"

After exchanging blows, the bald man and the scarred man sighed in admiration.

Cheng Zengtao, who had fought them before, was a Grandmaster of the Origin Realm, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even lift his head.

Xu Ning, whose cultivation level was even lower, actually displayed even greater strength.

"No wonder he can be a sect leader, he actually has some strength."

The bald man and the scarred man had cold eyes.

"The sect leader is actually this strong!"

This was the first time that Cheng Zengtao and his group of four had witnessed Xu Ning's strength firsthand.

"Let's go to the Cheng family and get reinforcements!"

Shao Xun seized the opportunity to quickly escape the battlefield with Tong Li and Ou Wei.

"They probably went to get reinforcements."

Because Xu Ning was keeping them occupied, the bald man and the scarred man were unable to stop the three of them.

"Then let's use the secret treasure to finish this quickly."

The bald man knew very well that this place was not far from Liuyan County, and it was very likely to alarm the prefectural governor's office.

By then, even if they activated the secret treasure, they would have no chance of survival.

"good!"

The scarred man agreed.

Then, each of them produced a crystal.

The bald man held a piece that was entirely emerald green, while the scarred man held a piece that was entirely azure blue.

They poured their Dao Realm power into it, and then the crystal burst forth with dazzling light.

Whoosh whoosh!

With the help of this crystal, the two activated several more streams of internal energy.

The colors of the aura were also emerald green and deep blue.

"The power of this protective energy has increased by a whole level!"

Xu Ning also noticed the crystals in the two's hands: "Those are very likely secret treasures!"

"Sect Leader, be careful!"

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

Gray and white are also eager to try, waiting for their chance to enter the game.

Wow!

Just as the two were about to attack Xu Ning from both sides.

Suddenly, a gray fog enveloped the surrounding area.

Facing the two, Xu Ning also used his secret treasure, the Wind and Smoke Gourd, to release gray mist and smoke.

"What is this?"

The scarred man sensed the gray mist seeping into his wound.

The already painful wound became even more excruciating.

"I can't see that person anymore, and I can't sense the outside world!"

The two held crystals in their hands, but could not find Xu Ning.

"Quickly, get out of this gray fog!"

"That's what the bald man said."

But at that moment, Xu Ning appeared behind the scarred man, wielding the Green Wolf Blade.

Swish!

With a single slash, the scarred man, caught off guard and unable to dodge, suffered a huge wound on his back.

This rendered him, who was already seriously injured, unable to fight.

The scarred man began to lose consciousness and had become a burden.

Upon seeing this, the bald man gritted his teeth and turned his long knife towards the scarred man.

bass!

With a single slash, the scarred man's head was severed.

The bald man snatched the crystal from the scarred man's hand, then unleashed his full power to accelerate away from the gray mist and smoke.

"They actually attacked their own people, and so decisively!"

Xu Ning, hidden in the gray mist, never expected that the bald man would be so ruthless.

Xu Ning directly activated the Azure Wolf Will within the Azure Wolf Blade.

This time, after unleashing his full power, Xu Ning once again struck with his blade.

Sensing the approaching danger, the bald man's emerald crystal once again emitted a strong light, and an emerald green shield appeared directly around him.

Bang!

Xu Ning unleashed a powerful slash, but the emerald green protective shield remained completely unmoved.

"The treasure this person possesses is of extraordinary quality..."

Although he failed to land a blow, Xu Ning remained completely calm.

The poisonous miasma from the previous gray fog and smoke had already invaded the bald man's body.

Sure enough, the bald man soon felt a sharp pain inside his body and spat out blood.

"There was a natural poisonous miasma within that gray fog!"

With his internal Dao Realm power weakening, the bald man was unable to maintain his defensive shield.

Seeing this, Xu Ning launched another attack.

With two swift slashes, the blade pierced the bald man's body, rendering him unable to fight.

Xu Ning didn't know where this person came from and wanted to capture him alive for interrogation.

"I never imagined that after escaping the Prince's pursuers, I would meet my end here!"

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

"Rather than being captured alive and ending up in the Crown Prince's hands, let's settle things now!"

The bald man made a snap decision and immediately severed his own heart meridian.

"Um?"

Before Xu Ning could even make a move to capture him, he saw that the bald man had already died.

"Not only are they ruthless towards their comrades, but they are also extremely vicious towards themselves..."

Before Xu Ning, he had hardly ever come into contact with such fierce martial artists.

Wow!

With a thought, Xu Ning caused the gray mist and smoke to gradually converge into the smoke gourd.

"This gray fog and smoke has become quite thin after being used multiple times... It seems we need to find an opportunity to replenish its concentration..."

Xu Ning thought to himself.

The gray fog dissipated.

In the battlefield, only Xu Ning remained standing, along with two corpses.

"The sect leader actually killed these two!"

The scene before him was completely beyond Cheng Zengtao's expectations.

Previously, he only knew that Xu Ning had a profound background and excellent aptitude, and felt that he had great potential for the future.

But to his surprise, Xu Ning was able to kill enemies of a higher level.

"call……"

Gray White, who hadn't entered the battle yet, felt relieved when he saw the gray fog dissipate and Xu Ning was safe.

It had only just advanced to the Dao Realm and hadn't found a good opportunity to enter the fray, so it hadn't offered Xu Ning any help.

"Resolved."

Xu Ning sheathed the Green Wolf Blade and said to Cheng Zengtao.

Cheng Zengtao walked over, looking somewhat agitated.

The more he understands Xu Ning now, the more terrifying Xu Ning is, and the more confident he is about the future of the Yanlu Sect.

"Senior Brother Cheng, do you know where these two people came from?"

Xu Ning asked Cheng Zengtao.

"They might be from the Ye Prince's Mansion."

Cheng Zengtao said, "Their Taoist weapons are of the same standard as those of the guards of the Ye Prince's Mansion."

"People from the Ye Wang Mansion?"

Xu Ning's brows furrowed.

Guqing Prefecture was the fiefdom of Prince Ye, and Prince Ye's mansion was considered half the ruler of Guqing Prefecture.

"Did we have a past conflict with the Ye Prince's Mansion?"

Xu Ning inquired, not wanting to inexplicably become enemies with the Ye Wang Mansion.

"no."

Cheng Zengtao said, "These two appeared suddenly and attacked us without any reason."

"I see..."

Xu Ning's doubts remained.

He looked at the two corpses and picked up the two crystals in his hands.

"Are all the guards at Prince Ye's mansion equipped with a secret treasure?"

Xu Ning was deep in thought.

Just then, Xu Ning, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up.

"The aura of a mid-stage Grandmaster of the Dao Realm!"

Xu Ning sensed the approaching aura of a powerful figure.

Then, two figures appeared inside the villa.

Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao both knew those two people.

One of them was Cheng Jinxian, the head of the Cheng family, and the other was Wei Xiongjian, the prefect of Guanghe County.

Upon their arrival, the two initially appeared surprised.

Then they saw the corpses of the bald man and the scarred man on the ground.

"Are these the corpses of those two people?"

Before Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao could even exchange greetings, Wei Xiongjian stepped forward and hurriedly asked a question.

Just now, the Cheng family brought news that someone suspected to be wanted by the Prince's Mansion has appeared at a villa outside the city.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiongjian immediately set off with Cheng Jinxian to check on the situation.

Wei Xiongjian knew that if he could capture the two men and retrieve the treasure for the young master, it would be a great achievement.

Originally, Wei Xiongjian was worried that the two might escape beforehand, but when he arrived here, he found that the battle was already over.

"Yes."

Xu Ning said, "This is a secret treasure we seized from them."

Xu Ning handed the two crystals to Wei Xiongjian.

"That's right, this is the treasure the Crown Prince lost!"

Wei Xiongjian examined it and finally confirmed it.

For a moment, Wei Xiongjian felt a surge of joy.

"Patriarch Cheng, your Cheng family has rendered a great service in this matter!"

Wei Xiongjian patted Cheng Jinxian on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

"The Crown Prince's secret treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao exchanged glances, understanding the situation perfectly.

These two must be guards from the royal palace who stole the prince's secret treasure.

"You two took care of them together?"

Wei Xiongjian asked Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao.

"Reporting to the Prefect, I did not contribute to eliminating these two men."

Cheng Zengtao answered truthfully.

"Oh?"

Wei Xiongjian turned his gaze to Xu Ning.

Thank you to the bosses Ziming and Gangwanbudong for the donations!
