Chapter 205 Special Dao Weapon

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Looking at the stunned Elder Gu Juan who had landed on the ground, Xu Ning was a little surprised, but he soon understood.

The reason why Elder Gu Juan attacked him was easy to guess. Either he discovered that Fang Jie had died in his hands, or he transferred the grudge between him and Mi Xingye to him.

Of course, it was more likely to be both. “Huh?’ Xu Ning looked down at the two of them from Little Gray’s back. Suddenly, he noticed something wrong. “The two of them are not half-step dao realm masters.’

Xu Ning could not sense the aura of attribute seeds from them.

‘But the lethality that the two of them showed just now was definitely something only a half-step dao realm master could do with a dao weapon.’

Xu Ning looked at the dao weapons in their hands.

Among the two, Gu Juan held a copper fan. The copper fan was one meter long, with strange lines flowing on its surface. There were also curved spikes on the top of the fan. As for the bald old man, he was holding a copper knife. The lines on the surface of the knife were similar to the lines on the surface of the copper fan in Gu Juan’s hand.

With just a look, Xu Ning felt that these two dao weapons should have come from the same dao realm master.

‘Their dao weapons seem to be different…’

Xu Ning noticed this. ‘And their dao weapons seem to be stronger than mine.’

Xu Ning could clearly sense that the lines on the surface of the copper fan and copper knife were different from the lines of other dao weapons. Compared to his weapons, their weapons had a more mysterious aura.

If an ordinary void realm martial artist held a dao weapon, they could fight enemies above their realm.

But with these dao weapons, Xu Ning felt that they could easily defeat enemies above their realm.

‘What kind of dao weapon are those?’

Xu Ning was intrigued.

‘He is actually so strong?’

While Xu Ning was looking at Gu Juan, Gu Juan was also looking at Xu Ning.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Ning. He was stunned at first, then he was full of fear. Although he and Zhang Tong were only in the true domain realm, the dao weapons they held were relatively special.

This dao weapon was stolen from an injured warrior by him and Zhang Tong when they were young After the injured warrior discovered their deeds, he chased after them. The situation was extremely critical at that time, and if it weren’t for Gu Juan risking his life, Zhang Tong would have been killed on the spot.

Because of this, Zhang Tong owed Gu Juan a huge favor and was used by him until now.

However, after using their attribute domains and their full strength, they were only on par with Xu Ning. They couldn’t get any advantages at all.

“Could this kid have advanced to become a half-step dao realm master?’

Gu Juan’s expression was a little ugly.

Currently, Gu Juan was in a passive position. He and Zhang Tong had already been exposed. If they couldn’t capture or kill Xu Ning, they would be in big trouble.

If this matter was exposed, even Duan Qinghui would not protect him, instead he would even take the initiative to clean up the mess.

Even though Gu Juan could say that Xu Ning had harmed Fang Jie first, there was no substantial evidence for that.

“Little Gray, you go first!” Xu Ning jumped off Little Gray’s back and landed on the ground, facing the two.

Under this kind of situation, Xu Ning couldn’t protect Little Gray forever.

If a huge fight broke out between the two sides, Little Gray would easily be affected. Little Gray gave a cry and flew into the distance.

It knew very well that if it stayed here, it would become Xu Ning’s burden.

“Disciple Xu Ning greets Elder Gu Juan.”

Xu Ning even took the initiative to greet Elder Gu Juan.

When Gu Juan saw this, he sneered with a gloomy face. “Xu Ning, let me ask you, is Fang Jie’s disappearance related to you?” Hearing this, Xu Ning’s eyes twitched.

Since Gu Juan was asking in this kind of tone, it meant that he didn’t have any concrete evidence.

However, this also showed that some vague clues pointed towards him.

“Senior Brother Fang Jie is missing, so why is Elder Gu Juan looking for me?”

Xu Ning obviously wouldn’t admit it.

Seeing that Xu Ning had no intention of admitting it, Elder Gu Juan’s expression became even colder.

After seeing Xu Ning’s attitude, he felt that Fang Jie was most likely killed by Xu Ning.

“Elder Gu Juan, if you attack me like this, I’m afraid it violates the rules of the sect. If I report it, you will be in big trouble. You must know that the previous generation elders of the sect are all active right now.” Xu Ning’s words were laced with threats.

Elder Gu Juan had a gloomy expression on his face. Faced with the threat, he couldn’t say a word.

Zhang Tong’s face was pale. He felt like he had been tricked.

Elder Gu Juan previously told him that they could easily capture Xu Ning.

But he didn’t expect that in a two-on-one fight, they wouldn’t gain any advantages

This meant that no need to mention capturing him alive, even if they wanted to kill Xu Ning, they would have to pay a heavy price. “It was a misunderstanding.” After a long silence, Elder Gu Juan suddenly squeezed out an ugly smile.

He had also realized the predicament Zhang Tong had realized and reacted.

Since he couldn’t take down the killer, he could only retreat and find an opportunity in the future.

“Xu Ning, Fang Jie has been missing for a long time, and I heard some slanderous words from some people, so I attacked you.”

Elder Gu Juan took the initiative to admit his mistake. “It’s all my fault. I was too hot-headed. Please forgive me.”

Although the situation was difficult to reconcile, Elder Gu Juan chose to surrender. After decades of combat experience, Elder Gu Juan knew that unless he used a sneak attack and was willing to pay a heavy price, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

The best result now was that Xu Ning was afraid that his scheme against Fang Jie would be exposed and he didn’t wish to blow up the situation.

‘He actually lowered his head…’

Xu Ning was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that Elder Gu Juan would admit defeat.

The moment Gu Juan attacked him, it was decided that the two sides had become mortal enemies.

“A sect elder attacking a sect disciple is a serious matter.”

Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said, “So, it’s better to report it to the sect.”

A cold light flashed in Gu Juan’s eyes.

‘Since the soft approach won’t work, I have to use the hard approach.’

Gu Juan could also see Xu Ning’s tough attitude.

He turned his head slightly and gave Zhang Tong a meaningful look.

Zhang Tong noticed this and nodded.

‘So I have to use my trump card in the end…’

Zhang Tong subconsciously glanced at the copper knife in his hand, his eyes full of fear. The two of them…’

Xu Ning naturally saw their exchange of glances.

Shua! Shua!

Suddenly, Gu Juan and Zhang Tong moved at the same time.

Gu Juan used the curved spikes on the copper fan to cut his arm. Zhang Tong also used the copper knife to cut his palm.

Blood seeped out of their wounds and seeped into the copper fan and copper knife.

At the same time, the two also activated their true qi and attribute power, pouring them into it.

‘Huh?’

Xu Ning noticed something strange.

A dangerous aura was starting to spread from the surface of the dao weapons in their hands.

‘These two have backup plans!’

Xu Ning reacted instantly. He activated his full strength and attacked the two.

But just as the domain spread, a rain of swords fell.

Two apparitions suddenly emerged from the copper knife and copper fan. The apparition was several meters tall, and it was the head of a terrifying cyan wolf.

The eyes of the cyan wolf were red. Behind them, there was a tail that connected to the two of them.

The next moment, Gu Juan and Zhang Tong’s eyes were red, their auras violent.

At first glance, they looked like demonic path martial artists.

‘What kind of technique is this?’

Xu Ning was shocked.

He was quite knowledgeable about martial arts, but this was the first time he had seen such a technique.

“Let’s end this quickly!”

Gu Juan secretly transmitted to Zhang Tong.

He and Zhang Tong controlled the cyan wolf apparition and attacked Xu Ning.

“That cyan wolf apparition gave them an even stronger external boost!’

Xu Ning quickly responded.

This time, Xu Ning felt pressure. Not only did the cyan wolf apparition give the two of them a boost, but it could also devour the attribute power of his domain.

This caused Xu Ning’s attribute power to be consumed rapidly.

‘What is this?’

Although the situation was a little dangerous, Xu Ning did not panic at all.

This was because Xu Ning could sense that the two of them were impatient, as if they wanted to get rid of him in the shortest time possible.

“They don’t seem to be able to maintain this state for long!

Xu Ning discovered that when the two of them were controlling the cyan wolf apparition, they had also taken an additional burden.

Since he had discovered the opponent’s weakness, it was easy to deal with.

‘If I can maintain my defenses for a short period of time, their technique will collapse on its own!’

Xu Ning began to shrink his domain, condensing it around him.

By doing this, Xu Ning’s consumption would be greatly reduced. “Flame Breath Bone Sutra!”

Xu Ning even began to reduce his consumption of energy by willingly taking on more injuries.

While bearing the injuries, he activated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to heal them.

As such, Xu Ning’s energy consumption had dropped to the extreme.

‘We are in trouble!’ While Xu Ning was stabilizing his condition, Gu Juan and Zhang Tong began to grow anxious.

They both knew the side effects of using the cyan wolf apparition. If this continued, they would suffer more and more backlashes from the cyan wolf apparition. “We can’t defeat him!” Gu Juan gritted his teeth. “Zhang Tong, let’s go!”

Gu Juan had decided to give up his status as an elder of the Yuelan Sect and escape. Zhang Tong was unwilling, but he had no choice.

From now on, he would be blacklisted by the Yuelan Sect, and he would be hunted down by the Yuelan Sect.

“Go!”

Zhang Tong responded.

Reserving the last of their strength, the two gave up on attacking Xu Ning and turned around to escape. ‘Can’t take it anymore?’

Xu Ning’s eyes lit up.

His opportunity had come.

If they were fighting a battle of attrition, with Xu Ning’s foundation, no one below the dao realm was his opponent.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning took out a handful of pills from his interspatial ring and stuffed them all into his mouth.

The effect of these pills was not to heal injuries, but to increase his immediate combat power.

Although he would be weakened for a while after the increase, it was worth it.

‘This time, it’s my turn!

Xu Ning’s shrunken domain instantly expanded, enveloping the two fleeing people.
