‘This Xu Ning guy…’
Xie Ninghe felt his body stiffen.
He turned his head and glanced at the mercenary warrior.
Although it was hard to believe that this was reality, the mercenary warrior who was equally as strong or even slightly stronger than him, was killed by that terrifying young man!
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong’s heads suddenly began to spin.
Killing a martial artist in the intention realm with one punch was difficult even for a spirit realm warrior.
Right now, Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong could no longer spare any thought about this.
There was only one thought in their minds right now, which was to run!
The power of Xu Ning’s punch had already made them lose all their fighting spirit.
“Run! Run away!”
Xie Ninghe roared and ran without looking back.
Xue Chuntong no longer cared about his injuries. He grabbed a pill out of his pockets. After taking it, he split up with Xie Ninghe and fled.
The instructors of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall who pretended to be part of the caravan also scattered and fled.
“How could this be?! How could this be?!”
Du Che felt his mind collapsing.
Half a month ago, when he met Xu Ning, he was only in the state mind realm, so how could he be able to kill intention realm warriors in such a short amount of time?
‘I must take advantage of the chaos and run!’
Du Che knew very well that if he was caught by Xu Ning, whether he was sent back to the martial arts hall or not, he would end up dead.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Du Che fled in the opposite direction of Chun Rin Canton.
‘He reacted quickly!’
Xu Ning didn’t hesitate when he saw his enemies running.
He decided he would first finish off Xue Chuntong and Xie Ninghe, ignoring the minor characters.
Once Xu Ning decided to pursue them, he took the lead to chase after Xue Chuntong first.
This person had been just injured, so it would be easier to chase after him.
‘If it wasn’t for Punch Three stressing my body out, causing my rhythm to be incoherent, I could have attacked Xie Ninghe before he could even react.’
Although Xu Ning did not fight perfectly, he did not feel regretful.
As he advanced Tidal Fist again in the future, his physical strength would increase as well. At that point, these problems would be solved.
“Xu Ning my friend, I know I was wrong!”

Xue Chuntong felt that Xu Ning was getting closer and closer.
Although he took the Anti-injury Dan just now, his previous injuries were still not completely suppressed.
He was already weaker than Xu Ning, and now that his pace had been slowed down by his injuries, Xu Ning was about to catch up with him.
“I am willing to give you 50% of the shares of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, no, 70% will be given to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall!”
Xue Chuntong begged for mercy loudly. “As long as you can spare me!”
Xu Ning sneered. “If I kill you, we can get 100% of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall!”

Xu Ning continued to chase after him.
Just as Xu Ning was right behind Xue Chuntong, he hit Xue Chuntong’s back again with three punches.
100% power!
200% power!
400% power!
Xue Chuntong, who had no resistance left, instantly died.
‘I’m not a ruthless person. It’s just that you wanted to kill me, so you leave me no choice. If I don’t kill you now, there will be endless troubles in the future.’
Xu Ning took a look at Xue Chuntong’s body, after which Xu Ning then began to chase after Xie Ninghe.
During the process of pursuing Xie Ninghe, Xu Ning glanced at the direction Du Che had fled.
After mapping out Du Che’s escape route in his mind, Xu Ning continued to hunt down Xie Ninghe.
‘Xu Ning is so ruthless!’
The mountains were overgrown with weeds and thorns.
Du Che fled frantically. His hair was messy, and his clothes were damaged. He was in terrible shape.
As he ran away, Du Che wanted to find a fast horse, but the instructors of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall moved faster than him, which left him no horses to ride on.
Therefore, Du Che could only escape on his own legs.
‘I have been running away for so long, so he should not be able to catch up.’
While running away, Du Che kept looking back.
‘If it hadn’t been for Xu Ning’s sudden appearance, I would have advanced to the state mind realm and got together with Junior Sister!’
Du Che’s teeth shook with hatred. “Xu Ning, just wait and see!”
“Wait until I join a Magic Sect and practice some magic techniques, one day I will be promoted to the void realm, then I will come back to take your worthless life!”
Du Che had already made plans to escape far away.
There was no turning back now. The farther he got away from Chun Rin Canton, the better.
“Du Che, who do you want to kill?!”
When Du Che looked back, he suddenly heard a terrifying voice.
1
He turned his head around, only to see Xu Ning’s face appear in front of him.
He was carrying a cloth bag with a few round things inside, and the bag currently had blood dripping off of it.
“You…”
Du Che’s heart suddenly tightened, his whole body trembled.
He was nervous and speechless, his mind blank.
“You traitor!”
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning stepped forward and hit Du Che’s chest with his fist.
Du Che’s entire body absorbed the impact, and blood started to spurt out of his mouth, killing him instantly.
Xu Ning had heard what Du Che said just now.
This person had betrayed the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall without any remorse, and he even wanted to join a Magic Sect and practice magic techniques to get his revenge.
If this kind of person was not eliminated, it could come back and bite him in the back.
‘The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall crisis has finally been averted.’
Xu Ning said as he looked at Du Che’s body.
After killing Xue Chuntong, Xu Ning caught up with Xie Ninghe.
In order to survive, Xie Ninghe was forced by Xu Ning to spill the details of Du Che’s rebellion and their plans for the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
As he revealed the details, Xie Ninghe took the opportunity to attack Xu Ning, but Xu Ning easily dodged the attack and killed Xie Ninghe in return.
After everything was done, he cut off the heads of the three culprits and prepared to take them back to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
This was mainly to give Han Huxiao an explanation.
As for Du Che, Xu Ning hesitated at first whether or not to kill this person.
After all, he was the only apprentice of Han Huxiao, so it was best to hand him over to Han Huxiao for trial.
But Xu Ning was worried that Han Huxiao would be too softhearted, and after hearing Du Che’s words of revenge just now, Xu Ning made the decision to deal with Du Che on the spot.
‘I’ll return to the city.’
Xu Ning took out a short knife, cut off Du Che’s head, and wrapped it in the bag.
Afterwards, Xu Ning rushed back to Chun Rin Canton.
At that moment, the sun had just begun to rise.
…
Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
“What did you say? Xu Ning followed Du Che out of the city?”
Han Huxiao’s tone filled with suspicion as he asked Han Yue.
“Yeah, Dad.”
Han Yue said, “I heard this from an instructor that the two of them are heading out of the city.”
“If they are going out of the city, why didn’t they tell us?”
Han Huxiao asked.
“Um…” Han Yue asked, “I don’t know either.”
Han Huxiao looked worried.
“Father, what are you worried about?”
Han Yue noticed this. “Do you think that Deputy Hall Master Xu and Senior Brother both escaped?”
Han Huxiao did not respond. He paused for a while before asking, “Han Yue, do you think Du Che has been acting weird lately?”
“Acting weird?”
Han Yue thought about it carefully. “Kind of…”
She really didn’t pay much attention to Du Che recently.
“What’s the matter, Dad?”
Han Yue wondered.
Han Huxiao waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s wait and see.”
“Hall Master!”
An instructor’s voice came from outside the door.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu is back!”
Han Huxiao had already given out an order that if Xu Ning or Du Che returned, they must report it to him immediately.
“How about Du Che?”
Han Huxiao asked.
“He didn’t come back.”
The instructor said.
“Let’s go, let’s see what happened.”
Han Huxiao wanted to get out of bed.
“Dad, your injuries…”
Han Yue said with concern.
Han Huxiao waved his hand dismissively. “It’s okay.”
Han Huxiao seemed to have realized something.
With the help of Han Yue, Han Huxiao arrived at the backyard.
Xu Ning was already standing in the backyard.
Many instructors gathered next to Xu Ning.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu…”
Han Huxiao saw the bloody bag in Xu Ning’s hand.
“Hall Master Han, Miss Han, instructors…”
Xu Ning said to everyone present, “The crisis of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall has been averted!”
Xu Ning threw the cloth bag in his hand.
Heads of several people rolled out.
“T-this is…”
Han Huxiao walked two steps forward and took a closer look.
Immediately after, his entire body froze, his eyes full of disbelief.
Xie Ninghe, owner of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Xue Chuntong, owner of Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, the intention realm warrior who ambushed him, as well as his only disciple Du Che.
Han Huxiao suddenly felt confused.
Not just Han Huxiao, Han Yue and other instructors felt the same.
They had been in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall for a long time, so they easily recognized top players such as Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu, what’s going on?”
Han Yue didn’t know how to describe her mood at this time.
She could only ask Xu Ning.
Xu Ning had prepared his words for a long time. “Previously, they ambushed Hall Master Han, which greatly injured Hall Master Han. The people that wanted to destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall were Xie Ninghe from the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, and Xue Chuntong from the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall!”
“And I have personally dealt with them!”
Xu Ning’s words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone’s heart.
“As for Du Che, this guy was a traitor!”
Xu Ning threw out another bomb that made everyone feel numb.
Xu Ning explained the process of Du Che luring him out of the city to ambush and kill him.
He told everyone what Xie Ninghe had revealed to him.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu, are you saying that the reason why my father was ambushed at the previous escort mission was because of Du Che?”
Han Yue couldn’t believe for a moment that her senior brother actually wanted to kill her father, his master.
“That’s right.”
Xu Ning looked at Han Huxiao. “Hall Master Han, if you don’t believe me, we can go to Fenghe Martial Arts Hall; there must be evidence on Xie Ninghe’s desk!”
“No need!”
Just when Xu Ning was about to prove his argument with empirical evidence, Han Huxiao let out a long sigh and said, “Deputy Hall Master Xu, I believe you!”
In fact, Han Huxiao had always felt that Du Che was suspicious after the ambush.
This was why Han Huxiao was worried about Du Che and Xu Ning going out of the city.
Han Huxiao had guessed that something was wrong with Du Che, but he did not sense any malicious intent from him. And since Du Che had been with him for a long time, Han Huxiao did not think much of it.
Xu Ning’s words enlightened him.
Especially since Xu Ning’s words exactly matched his experience.
If it hadn’t for Du Che, he would have never gone on that escort mission.
“Du Che betrayed the martial arts hall, linked up with outsiders, and tried to murder his own family members! He deserves to die!”
After Han Huxiao recognized this reality, he was disappointed at first before getting furious.
He was an upright person, so he couldn’t stand a traitor.
Du Che was not the only student of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, the instructors were also students of Han Huxiao.
Even if Xu Ning did not kill Du Che, Han Huxiao would follow the rules of the hall and kill Du Che himself.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu.”
Han Huxiao took a step forward, cupped his fists Xu Ning, and bowed deeply. “Thank you for saving the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall!”
After seeing Han Huxiao act like this, Han Yue and the other instructors also did the same.
They cupped their fists and bowed deeply to Xu Ning. “Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Xu!”
In fact, they were all grateful to Xu Ning from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Xu Ning was their deputy hall master, he had only recently come to the martial arts hall.
However, over this short period of time, Xu Ning saved the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall with his own efforts and solved the crisis for everyone.
“Hall Master Han, everyone, you’re all too kind!”
Xu Ning humbly said, “When I first came here, I was taken care of by Hall Master Han and everyone here. We are all martial artists of the same sect, so we should of course help each other!”
Xu Ning’s remarks made everyone respect him even more.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu, you have worked hard. Let’s rest first. We will go to the restaurant to celebrate in the afternoon.”
Han Yue knew that since Xu Ning fought against strong enemies, she guessed that he must be tired.
Xu Ning waved his hand after hearing her words. “It’s not the time to celebrate yet.
He turned his head to look at Han Huxiao. “Hall Master Han, isn’t it our turn to cause trouble for the other halls?”
“What?”
When Han Huxiao heard this, he instantly reacted.
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong were dead, so Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall were now left unguarded.
Although they wouldn’t be able to completely take over the halls, they should act as soon as possible.
“Then I’ll have you thank you in advance, Deputy Hall Master Xu.”
Han Huxiao said to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning nodded in response.
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong wanted to take over the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
But now, Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall were about to be divided up and taken apart.
“Han Yue, select a few people and follow Deputy Hall Master Xu to take over the other halls!”
Han Huxiao ordered Han Yue.
“Yes.”
Han Yue answered.
After a while, a group of people left the martial arts hall.
The instructors who followed Xu Ning were all very excited.
It had been a long time since they walked with such great confidence.
Because Chuxue Martial Arts Hall was closer, they went to the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall first.
When Xu Ning and the others arrived at the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall had not yet opened.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The head instructor knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
A voice came from inside the door.
The head instructor who knocked on the door was full of confidence.
“Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, we are here to teach a lesson!”
