I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 347: Easily Subdued

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although the foundation of the Wind Sea Institute was stronger than the Ice Feather Institute, their strongest members were only two rank six arcanists.

It was impossible for them to be mobilized just to assassinate rank four arcanists. At this moment, Xu Ning’s true strength as a rank five arcanist had not been exposed.

“You have to be extremely careful.”

Although the hatred in his heart was boiling, Jiang Xu did not lose his mind.

“While you do that, I will secretly restart my investigation of the death of the Old Institute Head.”

Jiang Xu said, “Once I find some evidence, I will announce it to all the arcanists in the Ice Feather Institute and even the southern part of the Barren Wind Region. I will completely ruin Yin Qingleng’s reputation.”

“Mmm…”

Xu Ning nodded.

No one knew that Yin Qingleng, Gu Chixing, and the Wind Sea Institute had secretly colluded.

Even the other instructors on Yin Qingleng’s side didn’t know these secrets.

Once they learned the truth, they would inevitably separate from Yin Qingleng.

“Alright, I will find Instructor Xu and communicate with him in advance.”

After a short negotiation, Xu Ning left Jiang Xu’s study to find Xu Siqi.

Three days later.

In the early afternoon, Xu Ning and Xu Siqi went out together.

Because the Ice Feather Institute was located deep in a dense forest, they had to pass through a dense forest first.

As soon as the two walked out of the Ice Feather Institute, several figures began to secretly follow them.

“Instructor Xu, be careful.”

Xu Ning reminded Xu Siqi to be wary as they traversed through the forest.

When Xu Siqi heard this, his eyes narrowed. He knew that Xu Ning was telling him that the assassins who were preparing to ambush them were nearby.

Three days ago, after Xu Ning left Jiang Xu’s study, he went to find Xu Siqi and told him everything.

After Xu Siqi heard this, he was angry and shocked, but after calming down, he still listened to Xu Ning’s opinion and prepared to use himself as bait to catch the Wind Sea Institute’s assassins.

Currently, Xu Ning and Xu Siqi were riding on two horses.

These two horses were very tall and muscular.

Moreover, there were very prominent special lines on their bodies.

The surface of the lines exuded the power of an arcanist.

In the Arcanist World, there were no naturally formed demon beasts.

But some special arcanists could alter living creatures to give them extraordinary power.

The two horses under Xu Ning and Xu Siqi had been specially altered. Once altered, they could run extremely fast and had strong endurance.

If a rank six and below arcanist did not use their arcanist’s power, their physical strength alone would not be comparable to these two horses.

Clop! Clop! Clop!

The horses galloped through the dense forest.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, more than a dozen ice arrows flew out from both sides of the dense forest trail.

“Be careful!”

Because of Xu Ning’s reminder, Xu Siqi was already prepared.

The moment they realized that danger was coming, the two instantly dodged and jumped off their horses.

The two horses were not injured, but they were frightened. They shook off the two of them and fled into the dense forest.

After avoiding the salvo of ice arrows, five figures appeared in the dense forest.

They were all wearing gray clothes and masks that covered their faces.

‘One rank five, four rank four…’

Xu Ning determined the strength of the five people.

Xu Ning’s mouth curved slightly. He knew very well that with his strength, it was not difficult to deal with these five people.

“Attack!”

The rank five leader gave the order.

Immediately after, the four rank four arcanists quickly activated their arcane techniques and attacked Xu Ning and Xu Siqi.

Among the four rank four arcanists, two activated their close combat arcane techniques, while the other two activated their long-range arcane techniques.

“Storm Barrier!”

Just when the arcane techniques were about to arrive, Xu Ning activated his arcane technique.

A thick wind wall instantly appeared next to him and Xu Siqi.

There were also wind blades attached to the wind barrier.

When the assassins’ arcane techniques touched the wind barrier, some of the power of the arcane technique was eliminated, while the other portion was reflected back.

Xu Ning’s Storm Barrier was released so suddenly that the assassins couldn’t react at all.

The reflected arcane techniques actually injured them.

‘Not good!’

The face of the leading rank five arcanist suddenly changed.

“The information is wrong, one of the targets is a rank five arcanist!”

The leader shouted, “Retreat!”

Xu Ning did not give them a chance.

“Gravitational Spiral!”

The four rank four arcanists who wanted to get away from Xu Ning suddenly felt their bodies being pulled.

Then, a strong pressure and tearing force of a spiral wrapped around them.

After several screams, the four rank four arcanists were all lying on the ground, barely surviving.

Xu Ning did not kill them, but with just one attack, he had reduced all their combat power.

‘I’m in trouble!’

The rank five arcanist turned around and fled when he saw that.

He had realized that this rank five arcanist that was disguised as a rank four was stronger than him.

“You want to leave?”

Xu Ning immediately chased after him.

He used another Gravitational Spiral to stop the leading assassin from escaping.

“Corrosive Rain!”

Almost immediately, Xu Ning used another arcane technique.

Whoosh!

In a small area, black raindrops fell.

The leading assassin also immediately reacted to the arcane technique. A light screen appeared around him, blocking the corrosive rain.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The corrosive rain fell on the light screen, making a sizzling sound.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Soon, the light screen of the leading assassin could no longer withstand the corrosion and shattered.

‘Not good!’

The leading assassin was about to be drowned by the corrosive rain

But just before the corrosive rain could land on the leading assassin, Xu Ning stopped the corrosive rain with a thought, then knocked out the rank five arcanist with a Gravitational Spiral.

‘All done…’

Xu Ning had subdued all of the assassins in just a short amount of time.

From the very beginning, Xu Ning displayed tremendous combat power, so much so that the rank five assassin did not manage to use his full strength.

“Hsss…”

On the other side, Xu Siqi gasped.

He was dumbfounded.

Xu Ning instantly dealt with all the assassins so smoothly.

Moreover, Xu Ning did not just kill them, he captured all of them alive.

This feat was infinitely more difficult.

‘This is not the strength of an elementary rank five. Even a peak rank five is not this strong…’

Xu Siqi was stunned.

He was really glad that Jiang Xu had brought Xu Ning back a few months ago.

“Instructor Xu, take these assassins and return to the Ice Feather Institute.”

Xu Ning said, “After returning secretly, let’s interrogate these assassins to get useful information from them.”

“Okay.”

Xu Siqi immediately responded.

At this moment, he was completely convinced by Xu Ning.

After subduing the assassins, the two found their two horses that had fled into the dense forest before returning to the Ice Feather Institute with the five completely subdued assassins.
