Chapter 296 Xu Ning vs. Liu Yi

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Xu Ning was the first to react, grabbing Duan Chaofeng and protecting him behind her.

Bang!

However, the dark arrow did not continue its descent to pierce through the enemy; instead, it suddenly exploded in mid-air.

Then, a cloud of smoke filled the air.

"Protect the Crown Prince!"

Immediately, people started shouting.

"This smoke, like the ash and mist inside the Wind and Smoke Gourd, can block perception..."

Xu Ning instantly understood.

However, this level of sensory shielding was nothing to Xu Ning.

"Your Highness, come with me!"

Xu Ning grabbed Duan Chaofeng's arm and fled in one direction.

Just as they approached the edge of the smoke, two figures appeared, armed with weapons, charging towards Xu Ning and Duan Chaofeng from the left and right.

"Two Grandmasters at the Initial Origin Realm!"

Xu Ning assessed the enemy's strength: "It seems the previous two attackers were a feint, a decoy!"

At this moment, a hint of panic appeared on Duan Chaofeng's face, but he was still trying his best to remain calm.

"How many people did the Hidden Sect actually send this time?"

Duan Chaofeng felt a strong sense of crisis.

Whizzing!

Two early-stage Grandmasters dressed in gray robes had already arrived in front of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning pushed Duan Chaofeng away, creating some distance between them.

Then, the Flowing Cloud Dagger appeared in Xu Ning's hand.

Ding Ding!

The sound of metal colliding.

Xu Ning easily pushed the two of them away.

"It's not just these two, there are other Grandmasters at the Initial Origin Realm..."

As Xu Ning fought, he assessed the situation and discovered that there were still three Grandmasters at the Initial Origin Realm within the range of the smoke.

Moreover, one of them was at the peak of the Initial Origin Realm, and his aura was significantly stronger than the others.

The three of them are currently being held back by two other senior members of the Royal Mansion at the Initial Origin Realm, but the process of resistance is quite difficult.

"We must finish this quickly!"

Xu Ning infused the power of the Dao Realm into the Flowing Cloud Thorn.

Bang bang bang!

Each strike not only amplifies the destructive power of the Flowing Cloud Thorn but also unleashes explosive force.

Upon seeing this, the two opponents immediately unleashed their original techniques.

In an instant, the flashes of swords were everywhere.

Xu Ning was not to be outdone.

"Virtual Beast Shadow! Void Distortion!"

Behind Xu Ning, the phantom of the Void Beast appeared.

The two initial-stage Grandmasters not only had their original techniques neutralized, but each also had a bloody hole appear in their chest.

The two were shocked and tried to escape.

However, Xu Ning gave him no chance at all.

Flowing Clouds Throw.

puff puff!

The Flowing Cloud pierced through the chests of both men, killing them instantly.

"The Wind and Smoke Gourd!"

At this moment, Xu Ning took out the Wind and Smoke Gourd again.

This time, the Wind and Smoke Gourd was not used to fight the enemy, but to absorb the smoke.

Hu Hu Hu.

In the blink of an eye, all the smoke on the field was sucked into Xu Ning's Wind and Smoke Gourd.

At this moment, everything on the scene became clear.

The original villa had been completely reduced to ruins, and the palace and the surrounding battlefield were also affected.

The elite guards of the Prince's mansion lay sprawled on the ground.

There are also survivors who are assisting the two Grandmasters of the Initial Origin Realm from the Royal Palace in fighting against three members of the Hidden Sect dressed in gray robes.

bass!

Within Xu Ning's perception, a pair of emerald green phantom wings appeared behind the peak Initial Origin Realm Sanyin Sect member.

Then, a bright green feather, its tip piercing directly into the heart of a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm of the Royal Palace.

And that person was the old retainer of the Prince's mansion who had just been speaking.

"Be careful!"

By the time Xu Ning prepared to rescue, it was too late.

That old retainer of the royal palace, who was at the initial stage of cultivation, had already passed away.

"Um?"

After killing the old retainer of the Prince's mansion, the man from the Sanyin Sect who was at the peak of the Initial Origin Realm looked at Xu Ning.

"The Transformation Realm?"

This person was none other than Liu Yi.

To ensure the assassination operation tonight goes perfectly, Liu Yi decided to take charge personally.

"A Core Formation Realm cultivator killed two Initial Origin Realm Grandmasters?"

Liu Yi saw the corpses of his men.

A ruthless glint instantly flashed in his eyes: "Such terrifying talent, such formidable combat ability! Is this Xu Ningyao from the intelligence?"

Liu Yi knew he had to eliminate Xu Ning as well.

Otherwise, if someone of this caliber were to grow up, they would pose a huge threat to the Hidden Sect.

"You take the young master away first; I'll deal with these three!"

Xu Ning rushed forward and met the gazes of Liu Yi and the other two.

Upon seeing this, the surviving Grandmaster of the Initial Origin Realm wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Then it's up to you, Lord Xu!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation and that his strength was insufficient, the senior member of the royal family who was a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm took the initiative to break away from the confrontation with Liu Yi.

"Your Highness, come with me!"

The senior member of the Prince's Mansion grabbed Duan Chaofeng's arm and fled into the distance.

"Pursue!"

Liu Yi stared directly at Xu Ning and ordered his two other men to chase after Duan Chaofeng.

However, those two subordinates had just set off.

Xu Ning then threw the Flowing Cloud Dagger backward.

In an instant, the Flowing Cloud Thorn disappeared into the void. When it reappeared, it pierced the chest of a pursuer and exploded.

He killed a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm with a single move.

The other pursuer was so frightened that he stopped moving.

Xu Ning instantly appeared in front of the man, took the Flowing Cloud Thorn, and stabbed him.

However, just as Xu Ning was about to make another move, a bright green feather flew over.

Xu Ning sensed the threat and dodged.

The pursuer immediately shook off Xu Ning and went after Duan Chaofeng.

"Your opponent is me!"

At this moment, Liu Yi blocked Xu Ning's path.

"You reclusive sects are incredibly audacious, daring to assassinate a member of the Duan royal family!"

Xu Ning said sternly.

At the same time, Xu Ning distanced himself from the man and sensed a threat emanating from him.

The person in front of me, although also at the Initial Origin Realm, seems to be somewhat different from other Initial Origin Realm cultivators.

Liu Yi sneered, completely ignoring Xu Ning's questioning.

"Xu Ning, you are truly amazing! To kill a cultivator at the Initial Origin Realm while only at the Core Formation Realm—there are very few people in Wansheng Prefecture who can do that!"

Liu Yi said, "Why not join my Sanyin Sect? I guarantee you will become the sect's top core disciple, with countless resources allocated to you, allowing your martial arts realm to advance by leaps and bounds."

Xu Ning remained unmoved.

"Illusory Beast Shadow!"

Behind Xu Ning, the phantom of the Blood Blue Wolf appeared.

A crimson, transparent wolf head appeared, enveloping Xu Ning and charging towards Liu Yi together.

At this moment, Xu Ning also thrust his sword into Liu Yun, pouring in a large amount of Dao Realm power.

"That's strong!"

Seeing Xu Ning's fierce attack, the illusory image of emerald green wings reappeared behind Liu Yi.

Then, a phantom image of a blue-headed bird shot out from the void and confronted Xu Ning head-on.

boom!

The two collided and exploded instantly.

Waves of air pushed outwards, turning the already collapsed buildings into dust.

The guards of the Prince's Palace who were originally standing nearby, ready to help Xu Ning at any time, were also affected, and some of them even suffered serious injuries.

In order not to hold Xu Ning back, they led the injured around them and withdrew from the area where the two were fighting.

"This person also has a very deep background!"

After a fierce exchange, Xu Ning and Liu Yi were evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.

"This person from the Hidden Sect must have cleansed his inner core more than forty times during his Core Cleansing Realm. This person even has the ability to survive a fight against a Grandmaster at the eighth level of the Dao Realm."

Xu Ning also began to take Liu Yi seriously.

"Is that the Flowing Cloud Dagger that Xu Ning is holding...?"

As the fight progressed, Liu Yi also noticed the special treasure in Xu Ning's possession.

"The Flowing Cloud Thorn is said to be a top-tier secret weapon frequently used by Ye Wang Duan Yunyi in his youth. Unexpectedly, he didn't leave it to Duan Chaofeng, but instead gave it to Xu Ning..."

A hint of greed also appeared in Liu Yi's eyes.

The Azure Feather Sword in his hand is just an ordinary secret treasure.

"The top-tier secret treasure Flowing Cloud Thorn, the powerful primal skill Illusory Beast Shadow—Xu Ning, you really have quite a few trump cards!"

Liu Yi's figure hovered directly in mid-air.

A Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm already possesses the ability to fly.

"This person has a very broad range of knowledge..."

Xu Ning threw the Flowing Cloud Dagger at Liu Yi.

The Flowing Cloud Thorn disappeared into the void.

Whoosh!

However, when the Flowing Cloud Thorn reappeared, Liu Yi managed to dodge it.

"Such strong spatial awareness..."

The Flowing Cloud Thorn returned to Xu Ning's hands.

"Since that's the case..."

The next moment, the phantom of the Night Beast, resembling a giant worm, appeared behind Xu Ning.

"The abilities of the peak-level demonic beast, the Night Beast?"

A hint of panic finally appeared on Liu Yi's face.

He knew that the Ye Wang Mansion had previously attempted to capture the Soya Beast, but had failed miserably and paid a heavy price.

To his surprise, the Ye Wangfu group had actually obtained the blood of the Soya Beast during their failed capture attempt.

"Illusory Beast Shadow, Weaver of Night!"

This is Xu Ning's strongest killing move.

Sure enough, Liu Yi's senses began to be devoured.

At the same time, Xu Ning threw out the Flowing Cloud Dagger again.

"not good!"

Liu Yi felt all his senses being pulled into darkness, and it seemed that even his sense of control over his body was being gradually lost.

He desperately wanted to get out of this state.

For Liu Yi, this darkness and depravity will not hold him captive for long. He will likely be able to break free from this state in just a few breaths.

However, in a duel between experts, those few breaths were enough for him to be killed hundreds of times over.

"There's no other way; we have to use that power!"

Liu Yi hardened his heart and made a decision.

Then, a piercing cry rang in Liu Yi's mind.

The cry made Liu Yi feel as if his head was about to explode.

However, this discomfort quickly disappeared.

Before Liu Yi's eyes, a blue light dispelled the darkness, and he regained his senses.

bass!

A wisp of cloud streaks across the sky.

Swish!

Liu Yi dodged the attack with a swift movement.

"This is……"

At this moment, Xu Ning, sitting opposite Liu Yi, showed a surprised expression.

Just now, Liu Yi's upper clothes were ripped open, and his originally fair skin was instantly covered with a layer of scales.

Liu Yi's face also became ferocious. His mouth protruded like a bird's beak, his pupils turned dark yellow, and his hands turned into sharp claws.

Most noticeably, the emerald green wings that had appeared when he used his original technique behind him had now materialized.

Thanks to the boss of "Old Driver Brakes" for the donation!
