I Have A Martial Arts Panel

‘An arcanist…’

The escorts of the Fierce Wind Escort suddenly felt their bodies stiffen.

They were in an awkward situation.

If the goods behind them were not delivered to the Black Willow Institute, they would definitely be punished by the Black Willow Institute. By then, there was a high probability that they would not survive the punishment.

But if they insisted on fighting this arcanist head-on, they would have a high chance of dying as well.

Just as everyone was panicking, Xu Ning was the only one who was calm.

‘Although this person in front of me gives me a sense of oppression and danger, it is not until the point where I can’t resist or fight back…’

Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘If I’m not wrong, this person should be in the mid-level of rank one. I should be able to defeat such an arcanist…’

Thinking up to here, Xu Ning began to secretly prepare to engage in a fight.

Although he had no experience fighting against arcanists, the memory crystal Duan Huiyao gave him had detailed information about arcanists, especially low-level arcanists.

“I said to break your right arm, didn’t you hear me?”

The old man in the hat suddenly sneered.

“Since you are not listening to them, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

The old man in the hat waved his long sleeves and a ball of poisonous smoke flew out of his sleeves, directing the members of the Fierce Wind Escort.

‘Poison smoke?’

Xu Ning held his breath.

A small area-of-effect technique by manipulating nature was the main offensive method of a low-level arcanist.

This kind of tactic was relatively efficient as it could cause group damage.

‘Not good!’

Not everyone reacted as quickly as Xu Ning. The escorts of the Fierce Wind Escort that were in the front couldn’t react in time. They were invaded by the poisonous smoke, and they quickly fell off their horses.

“Kill them and take away the goods!”

The old man ordered the four men next to him.

“Yes!”

The four men rushed over.

Only a few members of the Fierce Wind Escort still had combat power, but because they were facing an arcanist, their mental state was greatly affected, so they were not able to use their full strength.

The two sides began to fight.

Among them, a black-clothed man rushed towards Xu Ning.

‘These four people are not a big threat. The key is to deal with the old man in the hat.’

Xu Ning first fought with the black-clothed man, then he secretly observed the old man in the hat.

Pfft!

Suddenly, Xu Ning counterattacked after a block and killed the black-clothed man.

Afterwards, he quickly rushed forward and slashed at the old man in the hat.

“What?!”

Xu Ning’s actions caused a great commotion.

Yao Feng, Du Xiao, and the others didn’t expect Xu Ning to dare to attack an arcanist.

Even the old man in the hat was a little stunned when he saw Xu Ning rushing over.

However, he reacted to the situation immediately. He quickly retreated before condensing a ball of black mucus in his palm and threw it at Xu Ning.

Bang!

Just as the ball of black mucus was about to approach Xu Ning, it suddenly exploded.

The black mucus was about to land all over Xu Ning’s body.

Seeing this, Xu Ning’s expression did not change. The long blade in his hand spun and deflected all the black mucus. In the end, not a drop of mucus splashed on his body.

However, although he was not injured, the surface of the long blade had been completely corroded.

“What a powerful technique!”

Xu Ning threw the long blade in his hand, blocking the old man’s retreat.

When the old man in the hat saw that Xu Ning was unharmed, he realized how extraordinary Xu Ning was.

Although he was a rank one arcanist, his close combat ability was extremely weak, and his physical strength was not much stronger than a mortal’s. Once Xu Ning approached him, he would be in extreme danger.

“Save me!”

The old man in the hat roared. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

The three men dressed in black who were still fighting against the members of the Fierce Wind Escort retreated.

Afterwards, the old man in the hat condensed the ball of black corrosive mucus in his hand again and attacked Xu Ning.

However, with his previous experience, Xu Ning was more adept at dodging this technique.

Xu Ning easily dodged the ball of black corrosive mucus.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning pulled out a short knife from his waist.

He had already arrived in front of the old man in the hat.

The eyes of the old man in the hat were full of fear.

Pfft!

The old man in the hat wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Xu Ning with a knife across his throat.

Blood splattered everywhere, and he was dead.

“This!”

The armed escorts in the distance widened their eyes.

Xu Ning had actually killed a rank one arcanist!

When the three black-clothed men saw this, they were extremely frightened. They wanted to turn around and escape, but Xu Ning caught up with them one by one and easily killed them.

“Brother Yao, quickly organize the team, let’s continue to set off!”

After killing the three men, Xu Ning said to the stunned Yao Feng.

Hearing this, Yao Feng came back to his senses. “Quick, organize the team!”

Everyone was still in a daze from escaping death.

Xu Ning took this opportunity to search the body of the old man.

He found a cloth bag on the old man’s waist.

Inside, there were some broken stones that contained special power.

These stones even prompted a notification from the Martial Arts Panel, indicating that they contained usable energy.

However, Xu Ning did not absorb them directly, instead he put them away in the cloth bag.

Afterwards, the group of people continued to hurry towards their safe haven.

“There won’t be more pursuers behind us, right?”

Du Xiao asked worriedly as he rode on the horse.

“Probably not.”

Xu Ning said, “That arcanist just now should be an independent arcanist without an arcanist organization behind him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

“That’s right.”

Yao Feng also added, “Arcanists with affiliations all have stable resource channels, so it is impossible for them to do such a thing. That old man must have heard the news from somewhere and after learning that we are delivering goods to the Black Willow Institute, he wanted to plunder the goods.”

After explaining this, the group of people relaxed a lot.

There were only eight people left in the team after that incident.

“Brother Xu, it’s all thanks to you again.”

Yao Feng said gratefully.

Although they had already witnessed Xu Ning’s strength previously, this performance still gave them a huge shock.

“It’s okay, I was paid to do my job.”

Xu Ning said.

Everyone traveled quickly and they finally arrived at the county city.

They rested in the county city for three days, one more day than expected. Afterwards, they set off again and went to the Black Willow Institute to deliver goods.

Another month later.

Finally, the group passed through a dark forest and arrived at the Black Willow Institute.

This month’s journey was much smoother than before.

They did not encounter any more great dangers and only met two more groups of horse bandits.

And those horse bandits were easily driven away by Xu Ning with none of them injured or killed.

“The Black Willow Institute…”

Xu Ningyuan saw the huge manor in front of him.
