Chapter 331: First Encounter with an Arcanist

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ning was relieved. He could finally come into contact with arcanists.

If he could seize this opportunity and obtain some arcanist resources, or even gain the opportunity to enter the Black Willow Institute to work, then he could officially begin his journey as an arcanist.

“Okay!”

After seeing Xu Ning accept the job, Du Xiao also smiled.

After all, there were still risks on the road. He was worried that Xu Ning would refuse.

“When do we leave?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Tomorrow morning.”

Du Xiao responded.

“In that case, I will pack up and go to your Fierce Wind Escort tonight.”

Xu Ning said.

“Okay.”

Du Xiao replied.

A month went by quickly.

The roads were muddy from the heavy rain that was falling.

A group of people, wearing tight clothes and a raincoat on top, rode on horses and surrounded a carriage loaded with goods.

Most of them looked cautious.

They were the members of the Fierce Wind Escort who were preparing to escort some goods to the Black Willow Institute.

“We will reach the county city ahead in another twenty miles. We will find a place to stay there and rest for two days before continuing on our journey.”

The burly man riding in front of the team turned around and shouted.

This burly man was the leader of the Fierce Wind Escort, named Yao Feng.

Because this escort mission was extremely important, Yao Feng personally took action.

After hearing Yao Feng’s shout, the dozen people in the team behind him all smiled.

They had traveled non-stop, causing their bodies and minds to be extremely exhausted.

If they could rest for two days, it would benefit them greatly.

Xu Ning was also in the team, but his mental state and physical state were much stronger than others.

“Brother Xu.”

Du Xiao, who had invited Xu Ning to come on this escort mission, rode over.

He was very polite to Xu Ning.

Over the past month, the members of the Fierce Wind Escort had encountered three bandit groups.

The first two groups were all small fries so the members of the Fierce Wind Escort dealt with them easily.

But in the third group, they encountered a powerful group of horse bandits.

Seeing them, the members of the Fierce Wind Escort were all nervous and were ready to sacrifice a lot of people.

But at this time, Xu Ning stepped forward and severed the head of a horse bandit at the speed of lightning, easily dissolving a battle that could have caused huge casualties.

This also allowed the members of the Fierce Wind Escort to realize that the swordsman in front of them was very powerful.

Because of this, Xu Ning gained a lot of prestige in the Fierce Wind Escort and won the respect of many members.

“Brother Du.”

After a month of traveling together, Xu Ning was quite familiar with Du Xiao.

“With you accompanying us, we feel much more at ease.”

Du Xiao was glad that he had pulled Xu Ning over.

“My brother said that once we arrive safely, he will provide you an additional reward.”

Du Xiao said.

“Thank you very much then.”

Although Xu Ning said this, there were no waves in his heart.

Clop! Clop! Clop!

The sound of horses galloping echoed in the rain.

The team continued forward.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, an instinctual sense of danger rushed into Xu Ning’s heart. His entire mind tensed up.

Whoosh!

A sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the dense forest.

“Be careful!”

Xu Ning shouted.

Pfft!

Yao Feng, who was riding at the lead, was shot in the arm.

“Enemy!”

Yao Feng was shocked.

When Xu Ning shouted, Yao Feng also sensed danger.

He quickly dodged, but he was still a step too late, causing him to be hit by the arrow.

“There is poison on the arrow!”

Yao Feng checked his wound and noticed that there was a green-black poison spreading in his wound.

Yao Feng gritted his teeth, pulled out his longsword, and cut off his injured arm.

With Yao Feng’s years of experience in the martial world, if he hesitated for any moment longer, he would have lost his life instead of his arm.

The team panicked when they were attacked and their formation became messy.

Whoosh!

A rain of arrows came.

But because these armed escorts were prepared and experienced, they were not injured by the arrows this time.

At this moment, more than a dozen masked figures emerged from the dense forest and rushed towards the members of the escort company.

“Face the enemy!”

Yao Feng immediately roared.

Afterwards, the two sides began to fight.

‘This ambush seems to be different from before!’

Xu Ning thought to himself as he slashed the enemy with his knife. ‘The people who robbed us previously only treated us as random targets, but this group seems to be deliberately targeting us.’

Pfft!

Xu Ning killed the person who was trying to assassinate him.

Afterwards, he turned around and took the initiative to attack a few stronger enemies.

At the end of the battle, Xu Ning basically took down all of the difficult targets.

On the side of the Fierce Wind Escort, they stabilized their formation and either killed the enemies or drove them away.

“The enemy has retreated!”

When Yao Feng saw this, he said, “Quick, protect the goods, let’s speed up!”

Yao Feng only wanted to enter the county city as soon as possible. Only by entering the city would his safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Everyone began to move faster.

“Wait!”

Xu Ning suddenly stopped everyone.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw several figures walking in the rain from a distance away.

Walking in front were four cold-looking men dressed in black.

Their eyes were cold, and they held long knives in their hands. There was a cold aura on their bodies. They were obviously masters.

The four of them stood still. After that, a person walked out from behind them. That person was wearing a loose robe and a hat on his head. The raindrops could be seen sliding down his hat and onto his clothes.

It wasn’t known what material his clothes were made of, but they were not soaked in the rain.

“This is…”

When Xu Ning saw the man in the hat, his pupils contracted.

Xu Ning’s instincts told him that this man in the hat was extremely terrifying and that this man definitely had the strength to kill him.

‘Could it be…’

Xu Ning thought of a possibility, ‘Could it be that he is an arcanist?’

The reason for this inference was because Xu Ning’s physical strength was already at the limit of a mortal, and the martial arts technique he mastered was the essence of the years of training from the martial arts world.

In a sense, Xu Ning was invincible among mortals.

It was impossible for anyone to give Xu Ning this kind of pressure, except for arcanists who had touched the transcendent power in this world.

“Leave your things and break your right arm, then I will let all of you live.”

The robed man lifted his hat, revealing an old and ruthless face.

“This…”

The expressions of Yao Feng, Du Xiao, and the other experienced armed escorts changed at the same time.

They realized that the old man in the hat in front of them was actually a terrifying arcanist.

The enemy was actually an arcanist…

The atmosphere was extremely tense.
