Seeing Gu Juan who had already fallen to the ground with a slightly astonished expression, Xu Ning was a little surprised at first, but soon understood.
The reason why Gu Juan shot at himself like this can be easily deduced.
Either he found out that Fang Jie died at his own hands, or he transferred the grudge with Mi Xingye to himself.
Of course, the greater possibility is a combination of both.
"Um?"
Xu Ning sat on Xiao Hui's back, condescendingly, looked down at the two of them, suddenly, he noticed something was wrong.
"The two of them are not half-step Taoist masters..."
Xu Ning did not notice the overflowing aura of attribute seeds from them.
"But the lethality that the two of them erupted just now can only be achieved by a half-step Taoist master holding a Taoist soldier."
Xu Ning looked at the Taoist soldiers in their hands.
Among them, Gu Juan is holding a copper fan. The copper fan is one meter long, with strange lines overflowing on the surface, and the top of the fan bone has hooks and spikes.
On the other hand, the bald old man was holding a copper knife. The pattern on the surface of the copper knife was similar to the pattern on the surface of the copper fan in Gu Juan's hand.
Just taking a look, Xu Ning felt that these two Taoist soldiers should be from the same Daoist master.
"Their Taoist soldiers seem to be very different..."
Xu Ning noticed this: "Their Dao soldiers seem to be stronger than mine..."
Xu Ning could clearly feel that the patterns on the surface of the copper fan and copper knife were different from those of other Taoist soldiers, and carried a more mysterious aura.
If it is said that general Void Realm Martial Artists hold Dao soldiers, they can leapfrog against the enemy.
Then Xu Ning felt that holding their Taoist soldiers could completely defeat the enemy by leapfrogging.
"What kind of Taoist soldier is this..."
Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat.
"It's so strong?"
When Xu Ning was looking at Gu Juan, Gu Juan was also looking at Xu Ning in turn.
He held his head up and looked at Xu Ning's expression, first in astonishment, then full of fear.
Although he and Zhang Tong are only in the real realm, the Taoist soldiers they hold are quite special.
This soldier was stolen from a wounded strong man when he and Zhang Tong took risks when they were young.
At that time, after the injured strong man found out, he chased and killed the two of them.
The situation was extremely critical at that time, if Gu Juan hadn't tried his best to save him, Zhang Tong would have been killed on the spot.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tong owes Gu Juan a huge kindness, and has been used by him all the time.
However, with this more powerful special Dao soldier, after the two of them released their attribute domains and tried their best, they were only on par with Xu Ning, without any advantage at all.
"Could it be that this kid has already been promoted to a half-step Taoist master?"
Gu Juan's face was a bit ugly.
Now Gu Juan is very passive, he and Zhang Tong have been exposed now, if Xu Ning cannot be captured or silenced, then they will be in big trouble.
If this matter is exposed, even Duan Qinghui will not protect himself, and will even take the initiative to clean up the door.
Even if Gu Juan said that Xu Ning murdered Fang Jie first, there is no substantive evidence.
"Little Hui, you go first!"
Xu Ning jumped off Xiao Hui's back, landed on the ground, and confronted the two.
In this situation, it is impossible for Xu Ning to protect Xiao Hui all the time.
When a war broke out between the two sides, Xiao Hui would easily be affected.
Xiao Hui let out a cry, and flew into the distance.
It is very clear that if it stays here, it will become Xu Ning's burden.
"Disciple Xu Ning, I have met Elder Gu Juan."
Xu Ning also took the initiative to greet Gu Juan.
Seeing this, Gu Juan snorted coldly, with a gloomy face: "Xu Ning, let me ask you, is Fang Jie's disappearance related to you?"
When Xu Ning heard this, the corners of his eyes moved.
Since Gu Juan asked this question, it means that he has not got any definite evidence yet.
But this also shows that some vague clues have already pointed to him.
"Senior Brother Fang Jie is missing, what is Elder Gu Juan looking for me for?"
Xu Ning naturally wouldn't admit it.
Seeing that Xu Ning did not intend to admit it at all, Gu Juan's expression became more and more serious.
Based on his feeling, seeing Xu Ning's posture, he felt that Fang Jie was most likely to fall into Xu Ning's hands.
"Elder Gu Juan attacked me like this, I'm afraid it's against the sect's rules. If you report it, you will be in big trouble, Elder Gu Juan. You know, the elders of the past are all present in the sect now."
Xu Ning's words also implied threats.
Gu Juan had a gloomy face and didn't speak.
Zhang Tong, who was narrating, had a livid face and a feeling of being cheated.
The previous Gu Juan told him that with the two of them, Xu Ning was easily captured.
But I didn't expect that when the blow collided and went all out, the two-on-one didn't take advantage of it at all.
So this shows that let alone capturing him alive today, even if he wants to kill Xu Ning and silence him, he may have to pay a heavy price.
"Misunderstand."
Gu Juan, who was silent for a while, suddenly forced out an ugly smile.
He also reacted to the predicament that Zhang Tong realized.
Since the strong attack failed to win, the only way to advance is to retreat and look for opportunities.
"Xu Ning, Fang Jie has been missing for a long time, and I have listened to the slander and instigation of some villains, so I took action against you."
Gu Juan actually began to admit his mistake: "It's all because of my sudden overheating that made this mistake, please forgive me."
It is obviously difficult to reconcile the situation, but Gu Juan is extremely decisive and chooses to admit defeat.
Decades of combat experience have made Gu Juan realize that unless he uses dark hands today and is willing to pay a heavy price, he will not be able to escape unscathed.
The best result right now is that Xu Ning is also afraid of the exposure of his assassination against Fang Jie, and he is unwilling to expand the situation, and the two sides will settle down.
"Did you take the initiative to bow your head..."
Xu Ning was also slightly surprised, he didn't believe Gu Juan's soft attitude at all.
From the moment Gu Juan shot at him, it was decided that the two sides had become mortal enemies.
"The elders of the Zongmen take action against the disciples of the Zongmen. This matter is of great importance."
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "So, it's better to report to the sect."
In Gu Juan's eyes, a cold light flickered.
"It's not good to be soft, it seems that you can only come to hard..."
Gu Juan also saw Xu Ning's tough attitude.
He turned his head slightly and gave Zhang Tong next to him a meaningful look.
Zhang Tong also noticed this, and nodded slightly understandingly.
"Sure enough, I still have to use that hole card..."
Zhang Tong subconsciously glanced at the copper knife in his hand, with deep fear in his eyes.
"The two of them..."
Xu Ning naturally saw the exchange between the two.
Swish!
The next moment, suddenly, Gu Juan and Zhang Tong moved at the same time.
Gu Juan stabbed his own arm with the hook on the copper fan.
Zhang Tong also cut his palm with the copper knife.
Blood oozed from their wounds, all seeping into the copper fan and copper knife.
At the same time, the two also stimulated the power of true energy and attributes, pouring it into it crazily.
"Um?"
Xu Ning noticed something unusual.
On the surface of the Taoist soldiers in the hands of the two, a dangerous aura spread from the surface wave after wave.
"These two people still have backhands!"
Xu Ning reacted in an instant, urged all his strength, and rushed towards the two of them.
But when the field spread and the sword rain poured down.
Inside the copper knife and copper fan, two phantoms suddenly appeared.
The phantom was several meters high, and it was the head of a ferocious blue wolf.
Qinglang's head has scarlet eyes, and the ends of the tail are respectively connected to the two bodies.
The next moment, Gu Juan and Zhang Tong also had red eyes and a violent aura.
At first glance, it looks like a magician.
"What method is this?"
Xu Ning was shocked.
Now his knowledge of martial arts is very profound, but this is the first time he has seen this scene.
"Quick battle!"
Gu Juan secretly transmits voice to Zhang Tong.
He and Zhang Tong, with the phantom of the blue wolf, shot at Xu Ning crazily.
"The phantom of the blue wolf brought them stronger external blessings!"
Xu Ning also rushed to attack.
This time, Xu Ning felt strenuous.
The phantom of the blue wolf not only brought bonuses to the two of them, but also had a big mouth, and could devour his own attribute power to maintain the domain.
This caused the consumption of Xu Ning's attribute power to increase sharply.
"What exactly is this?"
Although the situation was a bit critical, Xu Ning did not panic at all.
Because Xu Ning could sense it, the moves of the two of them were very impatient, as if they wanted to get rid of themselves in a very short time.
"They don't seem to be able to maintain this state for long!"
Xu Ning found that when the two of them carried the phantom of the blue wolf, they also bore an extra load.
Now that the opponent's weakness has been discovered, it will be easy to handle.
"If I can keep from being attacked for a short period of time, then their offensive will collapse on its own!"
Xu Ning began to actively shrink the domain, concentrating the domain only on his side.
In this case, Xu Ning's consumption will be reduced a lot.
"Flame Breathing Bone Meridian!"
Xu Ning even started to reduce consumption, willing to bear some injuries.
While bearing the injury, he also operated the Yan Xi Sheng Bone Meridian to repair it.
In this way, Xu Ning's consumption was reduced to the extreme.
"Trouble!"
Xu Ning stabilized, but Gu Juan and Zhang Tong were in a hurry.
They are all aware of the side effects of the blue wolf phantom.
If this continues, they will be backlashed more and more by the phantom of the blue wolf.
"I can't beat him!"
Gu Juan gritted his teeth: "Zhang Tong, let's go!"
At this time, Gu Juan had already decided to give up his identity as the elder of the Yuelan Sect and go far away.
Zhang Tongxin was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
From then on, he will also be on the Yuelan Sect's blacklist, and will be hunted down by the Yuelan Sect in the future.
"Walk!"
Zhang Tong also responded.
Retaining the last strength they could bear, the two gave up attacking Xu Ning, turned around and left.
"Can't hold it anymore?"
Xu Ning's eyes lit up.
My chance has come.
Compared with consumption, with Xu Ning's background, no one is his opponent in the Taoist realm.
Wow!
Xu Ning took out a handful of pills from the space ring and stuffed them all into his mouth.
The effect of these elixir is not to repair the injury, but to improve one's short-term explosive power.
Although it will be weak for a while afterwards, it is worth it for now.
"This time, it's me!"
Xu Ning's shrinking area instantly expanded, covering the fleeing two.
