I Have A Martial Arts Panel - Chapter 49

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kangyun County.

There were city guards and even Black Armored Guards stationed at every entrance to the county.

Wei Changqing gave out an order that for the next three days, no one could enter or leave Kangyun County, except for Black Armored Guards.

Near the gates of the county city, a figure wearing a beanie and a wool coat peeped over the corner of a wall.

The figure looked at the strict line of defense and slammed the wall with his fist.

This figure was Yu Xinghe; the person who was thrown to the wolves by Duan Yihe.

After Duan Yihe sent away Yu Xinghe yesterday, Duan Yihe took all of his belongings and followed the Seven Line Gates out of the city.

Late into the night, the incident happened.. Yu Xinghe heard the riots in the street as he woke up from a dream.

Yu Xinghe sensed something was wrong, so he immediately got up and went to find Duan Yihe.

Unfortunately for him, Yu Xinghe discovered that Duan Yihe had already left with the Seven Line Gates.

Only then did Yu Xinghe realize that he had become the scapegoat for Duan Yihe.

Yu Xinghe slipped away into the alleys before the Black Armored Guards surrounded the Dayuan Trading Company stores.

In order to avoid the oncoming Black Armored Guards and city guards on the road, Yu Xinghe hid in a private house.

But in the early mornings, the Black Armored Guards began to search houses.

Thus, Yu Xinghe had no choice but to move again. He wanted to find a chance to get out of the city.

However, after he saw the strong line of defense, he felt helplessness and despair.

With such tight defenses, it was almost impossible for him to escape without being noticed.

Once exposed, the Black Armored Guards would chase after him, and once that happened, he would definitely be caught.

‘Duan Yihe!’

Yu Xinghe was full of anger, ‘I have been with you for more than 20 years, risking decapitation to help you communicate with the Seven Line Gates. In the end, you put me as the fall guy!’

Yu Xinghe wanted to kill Duan Yihe.

But right now, Yu Xinghe knew that he should forget about killing Duan Yihe, as he could barely protect himself.

‘There is also that moron Hui Jiu…’

Yu Xinghe clenched his fists with a murderous intent in his eyes, ‘And… Xu Ning…’

Ever since he first met Xu Ning, Xu Ning had been constantly giving him a hard time.

In the end, it was him that took the downfall.

Yu Xinghe took a deep breath and disappeared into the alleyways with a hateful look in his eyes.

…

At night.

Xu Ning returned to Camp Site Three.

Camp Site Three was empty, except for a few city guards stationed there. None of the new Black Armored Guards were present.

Last night, Qu Dayou felt that the newcomers were inexperienced and thus, he did not use them.

After the overall situation was basically under control this morning, there was a shortage of manpower. Whether they were stationed at the camp or assigned to a guard station, everyone had a job to do.

Because the Maple Lane Guard Station had been flipped upside down, the lieutenant was no longer there. Thus, as a member of the Maple Lane Guard Station, Xu Ning was not assigned a task.

And Xu Ning, the source of this incident, became the idle Black Armored Guard.

After eating dinner alone at the dining hall, Xu Ning went to his room.

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

“Martial Arts Panel.”

Xu Ning said silently in his heart.

With free time in his hands, Xu Ning decided to take out the Martial Arts Panel.

—

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Spring Breeze Tactic (Mortal realm third stage: inner enrichment)+

Gale Knife Method (Intermediate)+

Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic: (intermediate)+

Light Feather Bow (elementary) +

Available energy: 6 units

—

After upgrading his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic to the intermediate realm, he had three units of energy remaining.

But after absorbing the Swallowtail Flower that he received from being a cyan plate, Xu Ning now had 6 units of energy left.

‘I only have 6 units of energy left; it is not much…’

Xu Ning contemplated.

Xu Ning was now in the inner enrichment realm, and if he wanted to advance further into the qi realm, he needed 25 units of energy.

6 units of energy was a lot away from 25 units.

‘However, 6 units is just enough to upgrade the Light Feather Bow Technique to the intermediate realm…’

Xu Ning glanced at the longbow hanging by his bed.

This was one of the most basic issued weapons in the Black Armored Guards.

The Black Armored Guards newcomers had gone through basic archery practice, but they only needed to master the skills of aiming and exerting force. They did not need to specialize in archery techniques.

However, after weighing his options for a while, Xu Ning finally gave up the idea of leveling up his Light Feather Bow Technique.

Back then, there were plenty of opportunities to use his archery technique in Yunze Mountains.

But now, Xu Ning did not have any opportunities to fight from a distance, so there was no reason to upgrade his Light Feather Bow Technique.

‘What?’

Xu Ning suddenly glanced outside the door.

Xu Ning’s eyebrows furrowed.

But soon after, Xu Ning looked away. He grabbed a notebook that Tao Qingping had bought, faced the candlelight, and started reading.

After less than half an hour, Xu Ning put down the notebook.

He yawned, washed his face, put out the oil lamp, and went to bed.

The room was dark. Xu Ning could only hear his breathing sound.

Cha! Cha! Cha!

There was a quiet noise outside the door.

The sound was so quiet that it was difficult to hear even if someone was awake, not to mention asleep.

An eye appeared in the narrow gap of the door.

The eye moved, and it was that there was no one at the table. Suddenly, a trace of coldness appeared in the pupil of the eye.

‘Xu Ning… I don’t know if I can leave Kangyun County alive, but I will deal with you first…’

The person outside the door was obviously Yu Xinghe.

Because he had bribed a city guard at Camp Site Three in the past, Yu Xinghe knew the specific room where Xu Ning stayed.

After hiding around all day, Yu Xinghe was extremely nervous.

This kind of anxiety increased Yu Xinghe’s hatred towards Duan Yihe and Xu Ning.

Finally, when it was nightfall, Yu Xinghe decided to relieve his anger and kill Xu Ning first.

Even if he was captured in the future, he would feel less regretful if Xu Ning was dead.

And if he was not captured, he could take the chance to escape and eventually find a way to take his revenge on Duan Yihe.

Yu Xinghe took out a knife and pushed it through the door gap.

The bolt outside the door slowly began to turn.

Yu Xinghe was an inner enrichment realm warrior, and he was also a master of swordsmanship.

Yu Xinghe’s movements were stable, so he hardly made any noise.

Finally, the door bolt was completely open.

A cheerful smile appeared on Yu Xinghe’s face.

Now, he just had to push open the door and enter, then burst out with all his strength and appear above Xu Ning’s bed.

Xu Ning should still be asleep. Even if he woke up, he would be in a daze. With the short blade in Yu Xinghe’s hand, he could easily pierce Xu Ning’s neck.

Xu Ning’s life would disappear silently as his blood splattered on the ground.

Yu Xinghe finally felt relieved in his heart.

‘Xu Ning… go to hell.’

Yu Xinghe reached out his hand and pressed the door. He began to push gently.

Squeak!

The door slowly opened. Yu Xinghe’s legs were already tensed up.

The assassination was about to begin!

“Long time no see.”

However!

Once the door was completely opened, he saw Xu Ning’s face under the moonlight.

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

“You!”

When Yu Xinghe looked down, he saw a short knife piercing into his heart.

Veins popped up in his forehead as his eyes narrowed. He wanted to cut Xu Ning’s neck with the blade in his hand, but he instead felt another sting in his chest.

When Xu Ning turned the short knife in his hand, Yu Xinghe’s heart was instantly mangled.

Yu Xinghe lost all his strength as he desperately tried to breathe.

Xu Ning took out the knife.

Thump!

With a thump, Yu Xinghe fell to the ground.
