Chapter 141: Dao Weapon, Terrifying Enemy!
“Bao Ruyuan, you dare kill a fellow disciple?!”
Blood flowed out of Xie Wenyue’s mouth as she fled quickly with a look of despair.
After entering the mystic realm, Xie Wenyue was sent to a secluded forest.
Xie Wenyue got into dangerous situations several times.
After surviving through them, Xie Wenyue found the remains of a powerful warrior.
There, Xie Wenyue obtained a supreme-grade longbow. The material of the longbow was special, and when a thunder attribute martial artist used it, they could display strength beyond their own level.
This ability luckily coincided with Xie Wenyue’s martial arts attribute.
However, when Xie Wenyue came out from the place where the remains of the powerful warrior was, she met Bao Ruyuan.
Xie Wenyue was alert. She wanted to distance herself from Bao Ruyuan, afraid that Bao Ruyuan would secretly attack her.
But the reality was that Bao Ruyuan was more arrogant than Xie Wenyue had imagined.
After he discovered that Xie Wenyue had obtained a treasure, he didn’t hide his greed at all, and he just went after his fellow sect disciples.
“Xie Wenyue, if you put down the longbow, I will let you live!”
Bao Ruyuan chased with his longsword. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
Xie Wenyue didn’t believe Bao Ruyuan at all.
In fact, from the moment Bao Ruyuan attacked her, he would never let Xie Wenyue go.
Because once they left the mystic realm, the fact that Bao Ruyuan attacked a fellow disciple could not be covered up at all.
Even if Elder Gujian protected him, Bao Ruyuan would definitely be sent to the Disciplinary Hall to be executed.
“You stand still! When I reach a safe distance, I will put down the longbow.”
Xie Wenyue felt that she was in a huge crisis.
After being injured by Bao Ruyuan previously, Xie Wenyue’s injuries still had not completely healed yet.
Once she was caught, there was no possibility of fighting back against Bao Ruyuan.
After hearing what Xie Wenyue said, Bao Ruyuan just smiled and stopped talking.
But his speed had increased again. His desire to kill Xie Wenyue was even greater now.
“You have no way out!”
Bao Ruyuan waved the longsword in his hand.
A half meter wide wind blade pierced through the air.
“Not good!”
When Xie Wenyue saw the wind blade coming towards her, her palm flashed with lightning.
She held the longbow, with her hand on the bowstring.
The lightning on her palm was instantly absorbed into the bowstring, forming a lightning arrow.
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced through the air.
The lightning arrow and wind blade collided.
Bang!
There was a violent sonic boom.
Immediately afterwards, the wind blade instantly disintegrated, but the lightning arrow still had residual energy left, so it shot towards Bao Ruyuan.
“Huh?”
Bao Ruyuan looked surprised.
Bao Ruyuan easily dodged the drained lightning arrow.
But the power of the lightning longbow still made Bao Ruyuan’s envious.
‘This lightning longbow is definitely a dao weapon carved with dao marks!’
Bao Ruyuan instantly realized. “Only a dao weapon can have such power!”
‘I have to get this lightning longbow!’
Bao Ruyuan was now more determined to pursue Xie Wenyue.
Although the lightning longbow did not match his martial arts attribute, after obtaining it, he could easily exchange it for a huge amount of resources, or even exchange it for a dao weapon of his own attribute.
With a dao weapon, one could have the strength to kill enemies above their realm.
In the Yuelan Sect, apart from Mi Xingye, Elder Gujian, and Elder Yuancheng, no one else had a dao weapon.
Not even He Mingye and Fang Jie.
If he obtained it, he would definitely become a top-tier core disciple in the future.
Bao Ruyuan’s ambition began to swell.
‘Fortunately, Xie Wenyue’s injuries have not healed yet, and she is still not familiar with this dao weapon. Otherwise, I would be in danger!’
Bao Ruyuan was glad.
At the same time, he lowered his head and glanced at the crystal chip in his hand.
“Senior Brother Chen is coming soon. The two of us are about to meet up. I have to get this lightning longbow before he comes, otherwise if he comes and “helps” me, at most I will get half the value of that dao weapon.”
Inside Bao Ruyuan’s body, wind qi began to surge, causing his speed to increase yet again.
A wind attribute void realm martial artists were the fastest among their peers.
‘He still hasn’t given up.’
Although the arrow just now had also allowed Xie Wenyue to know the value of the lightning longbow in her hands, her impending doom was still coming.
It was true that the dao weapon was powerful, but it also consumed a lot of stamina and true qi.
As such, after using it, Xie Wenyue’s speed slowed down.
Bao Ruyuan also noticed this. After closing the distance again, Bao Ruyuan’s wind blades flew out like a net.
Xie Wenyue could only dodge and shoot arrows.
But the situation was difficult to change. Bao Ruyuan had already caught up with Xie Wenyue.
“It’s over!”
Bao Ruyuan looked excited.
He condensed the true qi in his body. The wind qi in his body surged as he swung his sword.
The wind blade was a meter wide.
It was not only bigger, but also faster and fiercer. It slashed towards Xie Wenyue.
Xie Wenyue was completely exhausted. She couldn’t even fire an arrow anymore.
‘Is this the end of my martial arts path?’
Xie Wenyue felt lonely.
However, just when the two felt that the situation was fixed and irreversible.
The huge transparent wind blade that was about to cut Xie Wenyue suddenly burst into flames.
Whoosh!
When the wind blade was about to reach Xie Wenyue’s nose, the flames completely swallowed it.
The wind blade was destroyed!
Just the Bright Fire Blade could break it apart.
“Bao Ruyuan, you really didn’t take Elder Yuancheng’s warning seriously at all!”
Xu Ning’s tall figure appeared in front of Xie Wenyue like a tall mountain, completely blocking Bao Ruyuan.
“X-Xu Ning!”
Xie Wenyue’s eyes lit up with hope when she saw Xu Ning.
“Xu Ning?!”
When Bao Ruyuan saw Xu Ning, his fierce eyes twitched.
Last time at the Elite Square, Xu Ning suddenly appeared and saved Xie Wenyue.
So the events today were like a replay of that day.
“Bao Ruyuan, killing a fellow disciple is a crime punishable by execution. Last time at the Elite Square, you still had room for negotiation in the name of a spar, but now, you are hunting down your fellow disciples. Even if Elder Gujian protects you, you will still be executed!”
On top of Xu Ning’s feud with Bao Ruyuan’s family, they also hated each other.
Now that he had a legitimate excuse to attack Bao Ruyuan, Xu Ning did not hesitate.
Bao Ruyuan wanted to kill Xie Wenyue, and Xu Ning wanted to kill him.
‘Xu Ning seems to be much stronger than before!’
Bao Ruyuan faced Xu Ning, his mind spinning.
His wind blade was close to his strongest attack, but Xu Ning’s attack completely swallowed it.
‘Attribute materialization, Xu Ning has already been promoted to the materialization realm!’
Bao Ruyuan knew that facing Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue, he no longer had the opportunity to seize a dao weapon by himself.
Now, he could only wait for Chen Xiaoyi to come over and join forces.
“Junior Brother Xu!”
Bao Ruyuan was ready to delay Xu Ning and wait for Chen Xiaoyi to arrive. “Do you know what Xie Wenyue is holding?”
“It’s a dao weapon!”
Before Xu Ning could answer, Bao Ruyuan took the lead and said, “It’s a dao weapon carved with dao marks by a dao realm master. With a dao weapon, you have the strength to kill enemies above your realm! This dao weapon is a top-notch treasure!”
“Dao weapon?”
Xu Ning knew little about this.
But after hearing Bao Ruyuan’s description, he now knew how powerful a dao weapon was.
“What makes Xie Wenyue think she can control a dao weapon?”
Bao Ruyuan said in a bewitching tone, “Why don’t you and I work together to kill her and take her dao weapon. After we get out, we can exchange her dao weapon for more resources, then split it 50-50. No, 70-30. How about that?”
Bao Ruyuan of course did not mean what he said. He just wanted to delay Xu Ning for the time being to buy Chen Xiaoyi time to come, then kill the two of them together.
Bao Ruyuan had already disliked Xu Ning, and now that Xu Ning had a hold over him, Bao Ruyuan wanted to get rid of Xu Ning.
“Junior Brother Xu
”
Xie Wenyue’s expression changed.
Although Xu Ning rescuing her made her feel extremely grateful towards Xu Ning, Bao Ruyuan’s words were too tempting.
She was afraid that Xu Ning would change his mind and attack her instead.
After all, the two had not known each other for long, and they did not have a deep relationship.
“Junior Brother Xu, I am willing to give you this dao weapon!”
Xie Wenyue was decisive.
Xu Ning didn’t expect Xie Wenyue to be so decisive.
However, Xu Ning did not fall into the temptation of a dao weapon.
“Senior Sister Xie, this dao weapon is yours, you don’t have to give it to me.”
Xu Ning was not moved at all. Instead, he clenched the two swords in his hands.
“Bao Ruyuan, I’m actually more interested in your head than the weapon!”
Xu Ning took a step forward. “I am punishing a disciple who violated the rules on behalf of the sect, so it should also be a merit, right? Senior Sister Xie, when we leave this mystic realm, remember to testify for me!”
Whoosh!
Xu Ning swung his sword.
Water Cross Sword, water line cut.
‘What terrifying sword qi!’
Bao Ruyuan’s hair stood on end.
Xu Ning had condensed his true qi into a line, then materialized his water attribute. With everything ready, his sword floated over, seemingly invincible and indomitable.
Bao Ruyuan quickly waved his sword and released a wind blade.
But the wind blade immediately dissipated, and the water line instantly slashed across Bao Ruyuan’s shoulder.
Poof!
A piece of flesh on Bao Ruyuan’s shoulder was cut off, revealing his bones.
‘This is not the initial phase of the materialization realm, but the peak, right? Even if he practiced a double secret scroll, Xu Ning shouldn’t be this strong, right?!’
Bao Ruyuan was stunned.
The Bright Fire Sword came with a ball of fire.
Bao Ruyuan was about to raise his sword to deal with it, but his injured arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Xu Ning’s attack just now was not only infused with the nature of cutting, but also the nature of penetration.
Not only could Xu Ning apply a nature to his attributes, but he could also merge the natures of his attributes. This was another change after breaking through to the void realm fifth stage.
Splash.
The corrosive and destructive nature of the Bright Fire Sword was already burning Bao Ruyuan’s sword and flesh.
“No choice!”
Bao Ruyuan gritted his teeth and slapped his waist with his other hand.
Immediately after, a layer of membrane covered Bao Ruyuan’s body.
Then, the flames on Bao Ruyuan’s body disappeared. The pain on his body also disappeared.
This was a life-saving item given to Bao Ruyuan by Elder Gujian. Bao Ruyuan had never been willing to use it, but now that the situation was urgent, he had to use it.
If he was stingy now, he wouldn’t be able to delay until Chen Xiaoyi arrived.
“Run!”
‘Xu Ning is obviously in the same realm as me, but he is absolutely demolishing me. His talent may even be higher than He Mingye’s!’
‘He’s obviously holding a mortal weapon, but he is making it look like he is holding a dao weapon!’
Bao Ruyuan knew that he was no match for Xu Ning, so he fled in the direction of Chen Xiaoyi.
“A life-saving treasure?”
When the membrane appeared on Bao Ruyuan’s body, Xu Ning also realized it.
Since Mi Xingye could give him a life-saving treasure, Elder Gujian could also give his beloved disciple a life-saving treasure as well.
Now, Xu Ning didn’t know if he could kill Bao Ruyuan.
But he still wanted to try.
“Senior Sister Xie, rest here first. I will go after him!”
Xu Ning turned his head and said.
“Okay!”
Xie Wenyue quickly responded.
Xu Ning chased after Bao Ruyuan and attacked him.
Bao Ruyuan was forced to face the attack. He was powerless to resist, but Xu Ning could not hurt him with the help of the protection membrane.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Xu Ning slashed at Bao Ruyuan’s protective membrane.
“It works!”
As Xu Ning continued to slash the membrane, Xu Ning noticed that Bao Ruyuan’s protective membrane was getting thinner and thinner.
“Senior Brother Chen is almost here, I have to hold on!”
Bao Ruyuan fought back and resisted the ongoing tide of attacks.
‘With another hundred strikes, I will definitely be able to break Bao Ruyuan’s defenses!’
Xu Ning was confident.
However, just when Xu Ning was about to continue his assault, he suddenly noticed that Bao Ruyuan had a strange smile on his face.
Soon, a terrifying aura overwhelmed Xu Ning.
Xu Ning suddenly felt suffocated.
“Die!”
A thunderous roar.
He saw Chen Xiaoyi with a gold crown on his head, holding a folding fan in his hand.
He punched at Xu Ning.
The earth element instantly condensed around his punch. A huge sense of oppression came.
An earthen fist condensed, with countless complex lines appearing on it, emitting a dark yellow light.
The punch flew towards Xu Ning with a fierce momentum, as if it wanted to punch Xu Ning into meat paste.
“This is
 the common seal realm!”
Xu Ning instantly felt a sense of danger.
Bao Ruyuan’s helper, Chen Xiaoyi, had broken through to the common seal realm!
This time, Xu Ning wanted to escape.
But the giant fist imprinted with countless lines was too fast and too terrifying.
Xu Ning couldn’t escape at all. He was instantly hit by the punch.
Just when Xu Ning felt that he was going to become a meat paste, the round crystal on his chest suddenly lit up.
A spherical membrane instantly appeared, protecting Xu Ning’s body.
The yellow punch did not hit Xu Ning. It just collided with the spherical membrane.
Bang!
Kacha!
The punch landed.
The earthen fist disappeared, and the spherical membrane protecting Xu Ning also shattered.
