I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 49 Assassination

Kangyun County Town.

At each checkpoint outside the city, city guards and even black-armored guards were on high alert.

Wei Changqing issued an order that within three days, no one was allowed to enter or leave Kangyun County except for official business of the Black Armor Guard.

Outside the county town gate, at the corner of a wall in a distant alley, a figure wearing a woolen hat and cotton-padded clothes peeked over.

Seeing the heavy guard, the man slammed his fist against the wall, revealing an undisguised hatred.

This person was Yu Xinghe, whom Duan Yihe had abandoned in the county town.

After Duan Yihe sent Yu Xinghe away yesterday, he took all his belongings and left the city through the Seventh Gate.

In the middle of the night, the truth came out, and Yu Xinghe, half asleep, heard a commotion in the street.

Yu Xinghe, sensing something was amiss, immediately got up and went to find Duan Yihe.

At this moment, Yu Xinghe discovered that Duan Yihe had already left with the Seven Lines Gate.

It was only then that Yu Xinghe realized that he had become Duan Yihe's pawn.

Before he could feel resentment, Yu Xinghe slipped away through a small alley, taking advantage of his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, before the Black Armor Guards could surround the Dayuan Trading Company.

To avoid the Black Armor Guards and City Guards who came towards him on the road, Yu Xinghe hid in a private house.

But even in the early morning, the Black Armor Guards began searching the residences.

Having no other option, Yu Xinghe had to move again, hoping to find an opportunity to leave the city.

But right now, seeing the dense defense, he felt helpless and desperate.

With so many guards, it would be almost impossible to escape unnoticed.

Once exposed, the Black Armor Guards will pursue and he will inevitably be captured.

"Duan Yihe!"

Yu Xinghe was filled with rage: "I've followed you for over twenty years, risking my life to assist you in your dealings with the Seven Lines Sect. In the end, you've thrown me into the mud!"

Yu Xinghe wished he could kill Duan Yihe.

But at this moment, Yu Xinghe was also very clear that, let alone killing Duan Yihe, he could hardly protect himself.

"And then there's that good-for-nothing, Grey Nine..."

Yu Xinghe clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "And... Xu Ning..."

Thinking back to the first time he met Xu Ning, this young man had treated him with an uncomfortable attitude.

In the end, they were the ones who lost out.

Yu Xinghe took a deep breath, his eyes filled with hatred, and disappeared into the alley.

……

night.

Xu Ning returned to the third camp.

At this moment, the third camp was deserted. Apart from a small number of city guards stationed there, none of the new black-armored guards were there, and the entire camp had become an empty shell.

Last night, Qu Dayou felt that the newcomers lacked experience and did not use them.

After the situation was basically under control this morning, there was a shortage of manpower. Everyone, whether they were stationed at the camp or assigned to the outpost, was given a task.

On the contrary, Xu Ning, because the Fengliu Lane Garrison has been thoroughly investigated from top to bottom and the captain is no longer there, simply ignored the Fengliu Lane Garrison when assigning tasks.

Xu Ning, the source of this major event, ironically became the most relaxed person among the Black Armor Guards.

After finishing dinner alone in the communal kitchen, Xu Ning returned to her room.

Tao Qingping was not there, so Xu Ning was the only one left in the room.

"Martial Arts Panel"

Xu Ning silently recited a sentence in his heart.

Since he had nothing else to do, Xu Ning simply brought up the martial arts panel.

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial arts:

Spring Breeze Technique (Mortal Realm Level 3: Inner Abundance Realm) +

Gale Blade Technique (Mastery) +

Source Breath Body Tempering Technique (Great Completion) +

Light Feather Bow Technique (Minor Mastery) +

Available energy: 6 units

-

After upgrading the Source Breath Body Tempering Technique to the Great Perfection, Xu Ning still had 3 units of energy remaining.

However, after absorbing the Yanweihua from the Qingpai resource subsidy, Xu Ning's available energy accumulated to 6 units.

"Only 6 units of energy left, that's really not enough..."

Xu Ning pondered this in his heart.

Xu Ning is currently at the Inner Abundance Realm. To advance further to the Qi Sensing Realm, he needs 25 units of energy.

Compared to the target of 25 units, 6 units at this point seem far too few.

"However, six units is just enough to upgrade the Light Feather Bow Technique to its highest level..."

Xu Ning's mind raced, and he glanced at the longbow hanging beside his bed.

This was also one of the basic weapons issued upon joining the Black Armor Guard.

New recruits of the Black Armor Guards receive basic archery training, but they only need to master aiming and power techniques; they do not need to specifically study archery skills.

However, after weighing the options for a moment, Xu Ning finally gave up the idea of ​​improving his Light Feather Bow technique.

Previously, in the Yunze Mountains, there was a lot of room to utilize archery skills.

However, Xu Ning will hardly have any opportunities for long-range combat now, so improving his Light Feather Bow Technique to the highest level will not be of much help.

"Um?"

Just then, Xu Ning glanced at the door.

Xu Ning frowned.

However, Xu Ning quickly looked away, picked up a storybook that Tao Qingping had bought, and began to read it by candlelight.

Less than half an hour later, Xu Ning put down the storybook.

He yawned, quickly washed his face in the room, then turned on the oil lamp and went to bed.

The room was completely dark, with only Xu Ning's even breathing sounds remaining.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

A very faint sound came from outside the door.

The sound was very faint, difficult to hear even when awake, let alone when someone was fast asleep.

At that moment, an eye appeared through the narrow crack in the door.

His eyes twitched, and when he realized the table was empty, a chill crept into his pupils.

"Xu Ning... since we don't know if we'll even have a chance to leave Kangyun County alive, we might as well take care of you first..."

The owner of the eyes outside the door was none other than Yu Xinghe.

Because he had previously bribed the city guards at the Third Camp, Yu Xinghe knew the exact room where Xu Ning was staying.

After a day of hiding, Yu Xinghe was on edge the whole time.

This sense of pressure caused Yu Xinghe's hatred for Duan Yihe and Xu Ning to continue to grow.

Finally, night fell, and Yu Xinghe decided to vent his anger by killing Xu Ning first.

If I were to be exposed after killing Xu Ning, I would have fewer regrets.

If we don't get exposed, we'll have a chance to escape alive and then slowly figure out a way to find Duan Yihe and take revenge.

Yu Xinghe took out a short blade and inserted it into the crack in the door.

The bolt on the outside of the door was slowly moved open by the push of the short blade.

Yu Xinghe is an expert in the Inner Realm and also specializes in swordsmanship, possessing a highly accomplished swordsmanship technique.

Because of this foundation, Yu Xinghe's movements were very steady, and he could hardly make any noise while operating the equipment.

Finally, the bolt was completely removed.

A hearty smile appeared on Yu Xinghe's face.

Next, as soon as he pushes open the door, he will unleash his full power and arrive at Xu Ning's bedside in an instant.

At this moment, Xu Ning must still be asleep. Even if he wakes up, he will be dazed. At that time, with a slash of the short blade in his hand, Xu Ning's neck will be torn apart instantly.

As blood splattered across the ground, Xu Ning's life would also vanish silently.

Thinking about all this, Yu Xinghe finally felt a sense of relief.

"Xu Ning... just wait to die."

Yu Xinghe reached out and placed his hand on the door. He then began to push gently.

squeak……

The door slowly opened, and Yu Xinghe's legs were already gathering strength.

The assassination is about to begin!

"have not seen you for a long time."

however!

Just as the door was fully opened, Xu Ning's face was revealed from the shadows in the dimly lit room.

Before Yu Xinghe could react, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

"you!"

Yu Xinghe looked down and saw a short knife already piercing his heart.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to slash Xu Ning's neck with the short blade in his hand, but then he felt a pain in his chest.

Xu Ning twirled the short knife in his hand, and Yu Xinghe's heart was instantly shattered.

Yu Xinghe had lost all his strength, and only a faint "hoarse" sound remained in his throat.

puff.

Xu Ning drew his sword.

thump.

Yu Xinghe collapsed and died.
