Chapter 333 Counterattack Arrives

"Secretary..."

The bodyguards of the Kuangfeng Escort Agency suddenly felt their bodies stiffen.

They are now in a very awkward situation.

If the goods behind them are not delivered to Wuliu Courtyard, they will definitely be punished by Wuliu Courtyard, and they will most likely not survive the punishment.

However, if they insisted on confronting this master head-on, it seemed that they would only face certain death.

While everyone else was panicking, Xu Ning was the only one who remained calm.

"Although this person in front of me gives me a sense of pressure and danger, it's not the kind of feeling that I can't resist or fight back against..."

Xu Ning thought to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, this person's strength should be at the mid-stage of the first tier... Facing such a master, I should be able to defeat him..."

With this in mind, Xu Ning also began to secretly prepare for his attack.

Although he had no experience fighting against mages, the memory crystal that Duan Huiyao had given him contained detailed information about mages, especially low-level mages.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to cut off your own right arms?"

The old man in the straw hat opposite suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

With a flick of his long sleeve, the old man in the straw hat unleashed a cloud of poisonous smoke that hurtled towards the group from the Mad Wind Escort Agency.

"Poisonous smoke?"

Xu Ning held her breath instantly.

Small-scale, area-of-effect attacks with altered properties are the primary means of combat for low-level mages.

This method of attacking enemies is relatively efficient and can cause area damage.

"not good!"

Not everyone reacted as quickly as Xu Ning. Several镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) at the front of the Kuangfeng镖局 (Booth Escort Agency) did not react in time, were corroded by the poisonous smoke, their faces turned ashen, and they fell off their horses.

"Kill them and take the goods!"

The old man in the straw hat gave orders to the four men in black beside him.

"yes!"

The four men charged straight at them.

At this moment, only a few people from the Gale Escort Agency still had the ability to fight, but because they were facing the Mystic Master, their mentality was greatly affected, and they could not exert their full strength at all.

In an instant, the two sides clashed.

One of the men, dressed in black, charged directly at Xu Ning.

"These four aren't much of a threat; the key is to deal with that old man in the bamboo hat..."

Xu Ning first engaged in combat with the man in black, then secretly observed the old man in the bamboo hat.

puff!

Suddenly, Xu Ning killed the man in black who was fighting him after parrying and counterattacking.

Then, he suddenly charged forward, raising his knife to kill the old man in the straw hat.

"What?!"

Xu Ning's actions caused a stir elsewhere.

Yao Feng, Du Xiao, and the others, who were struggling to hold off Xu Ning, never expected that Xu Ning would dare to take the initiative to attack the secret master.

Even the old man in the straw hat looked somewhat surprised when he saw Xu Ning rushing over.

However, he reacted immediately, retreating rapidly and condensing a ball of black, sticky liquid in his palm, which he then threw at Xu Ning.

Bang!

Just as the black slime approached Xu Ning, it suddenly exploded.

The black slime was about to explode and cover Xu Ning's entire body.

Xu Ning remained expressionless, his long sword whirling in his hand, blocking all the black slime, not a single drop splashing onto his body.

However, although the person was not injured, the surface of the long sword had been completely corroded and hollowed out.

"What a brilliant move!"

Xu Ning threw his long sword, blocking the old man in the bamboo hat from retreating.

Seeing that Xu Ning was unharmed, the old man in the straw hat also realized that Xu Ning was extraordinary.

Although he is a first-level strategist, his close combat ability is extremely weak, and his physical strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary people. Once Xu Ning gets close, he will be in great danger.

"Help me!"

The old man in the straw hat roared.

The three men in black who were still fighting the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) of the Kuangfeng镖局 (Magic Wind Escort Agency) continued to retreat and defend.

Meanwhile, the old man in the bamboo hat once again condensed black corrosive sap in his hand and attacked Xu Ning.

However, with previous experience, Xu Ning's dodging skills became more proficient.

Xu Ning easily dodged the black, corrosive liquid.

bass!

Xu Ning drew another short blade from his waist.

He had already reached the old man in the straw hat.

The old man in the straw hat was filled with terror.

puff!

The old man in the straw hat tried to say something, but Xu Ning cut him down with a single stroke.

Immediately, blood spurted out, and he died.

"this!"

The bodyguards in the distance nearly popped their eyes out when they saw this.

Xu Ning actually killed a first-level expert!

The three retreating men in black were terrified and tried to turn and flee, but Xu Ning caught up with them one by one and killed them easily.

"Brother Yao, hurry up and get the group together, let's continue!"

After killing the three men, Xu Ning spoke to Yao Feng, who was still stunned.

Yao Feng then realized what was happening: "Quick, get the team organized!"

Everyone was still somewhat dazed after escaping death.

Xu Ning took this opportunity to search the old man in the bamboo hat.

He pulled a cloth bag from the old man's waist.

Those cloth bags contained pebbles that possessed special power.

These pebbles even triggered a notification on the martial arts panel, indicating that they contained usable energy.

However, Xu Ning did not absorb it directly, but instead put the bag away.

Afterwards, the group hurriedly continued on their way.

"Are there still pursuers behind us?"

As he rode his horse, Du Xiao spoke with concern.

"Probably not."

Xu Ning said, "That hooded master from earlier must have been an independent master, without any master organization. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to commit such a robbery."

"good."

Yao Feng added, "Secret masters with affiliations have stable resource supply channels and would not do such a thing. This old man in the bamboo hat must have gathered information from elsewhere and learned that we were transporting goods to Wuliu Academy, which is why he decided to rob us."

After this explanation, the group felt much more relaxed.

After the fierce battle, only eight people remain in the team.

"Brother Xu, I owe you a lot again this time."

Yao Feng said gratefully.

Although they had already witnessed Xu Ning's prowess, this performance still gave them a new shock.

"It's alright, I'm just doing this for money."

Xu Ning said.

The group traveled quickly and finally arrived at the county town.

They rested in the county town for three days, one day longer than expected, before setting off again to transport goods to Wuliuyuan.

Another month has passed.

Finally, the group passed through a dark forest and arrived at Wuliu Courtyard.

The journey this past month has been much smoother than before.

They did not encounter any more deadly dangers, only two encounters with bandits.

Xu Ning easily drove away the bandits, and there were no further injuries or casualties.

"Wuliuyuan..."

Xu Ning could see the huge manor in the distance.
