Chapter 115: The Man in Black Returns
When Ji Tianxing left Tai'an Palace, it was already the hour.
Except for a few lights in the Tai'an Palace, the entire mountain is shrouded in dark night, quiet and secluded.
Although this was the latest time he had returned, he had been delayed for nearly an hour in order to practice the Flying Star Sword Technique.
But his heart was full of excitement and anticipation, and his steps were much brisker.
A quarter of an hour later, he was walking down the tree-lined path at the foot of the mountain.
There was no one on the trail, and the surrounding mountains and forests were as dark as ink, dead and silent.
Suddenly, two cold lights lit up in the woods, and they shot at Ji Tianxing's head and chest as fast as lightning.
"Woohoo!"
Those two points of cold light were suddenly hidden weapon flying knives, which made a sharp sound of breaking through the night sky.
Ji Tianxing was pondering the two swordsmanship he had just learned, when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of breaking the air, and his face suddenly changed.
"Damn! someone ambushed me!"
He immediately burst out with a majestic True Yuan, and retreated sideways three meters away, dodging the attack of those two hidden weapons.
Two hidden weapon throwing knives flew in front of him, and they were nailed into a big tree by the side of the road with two "doo" sounds.
The finger-long blade sank into the trunk of the tree, and the hilt shook violently.
Obviously, the power contained in these two hidden weapon flying knives was extremely great, and if they hit Ji Tianxing, they would definitely stab out two blood holes.
Ji Tianxing retreated to the woods beside the road, hiding behind a big tree the size of a bucket.
When he was suddenly attacked, he was angry and confused, but he remained calm and did not lose his senses.
He hid behind a large tree, his eyes keenly observing the woods in front of him, looking for someone to attack him.
The next moment, a black shadow rushed out of the woods in front of him.
The man, with a sword shining with cold light, came straight for him.
When he saw that black shadow, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"It was him! That night, he lured me out of the room and framed me!"
Ji Tianxing instantly recognized that this warrior in black and wearing a masked scarf was the man in black that night.
"Just in time! I was about to see who's going to deal with me!"
He let out a low cry in his heart, secretly mobilized the true yuan in his body, and exuded a powerful battle intent all over his body.
At the same time, the man in black rushed in front of Ji Tianxing, less than three meters away.
The man in black jumped forward, jumped more than three meters high, and stabbed out more than a dozen dazzling dark yellow sword rays with his sword, enveloping Ji Tianxing.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the night sky around Ji Tianxing was lit up by the sword rays, and many branches and grass blades were crushed by the fierce sword qi.
At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to use the Flying Star Sword Technique he had just learned.
"Thousand Feather Blade!"
Ji Tianxing let out a murderous low shout, and suddenly shot out three chopstick-length dark golden sword qi, killing the man in black.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The golden sword qi was as fast as a lightning-fast assassination attack, colliding with more than a dozen sword rays, and bursting out with a crisp sword sound.
In just one breath, the three golden sword qi stabbed hundreds of times, so fast that it was impossible to see the trajectory and route of the sword qi.
More than a dozen dark yellow sword rays of the man in black were shattered by the sword qi on the spot, turning into bits of yellow light and dissipating.
However, the power of the Thousand Feather Blade was more than that, and the three golden sword qi were still stabbing and attacking at an extremely fast speed.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the three sword qi attacked hundreds of times in a row.
The man in black was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
After a "clanging" crash, the black-clothed man's chest and abdomen were stabbed dozens of times by the sword qi, his body trembled repeatedly, and he let out a muffled snort of pain.
He fell from mid-air onto the grass and rolled around a few times before getting up.
The black clothes on his chest and abdomen had been twisted into pieces by the sword qi, revealing the golden soft armor he was wearing inside.
Fortunately, he was protected by that golden soft armor, otherwise he would have been stabbed into a sieve by the sword qi.
The man in black let out an angry snort, and unwillingly swung his sword to attack again.
But Ji Tianxing manipulated the three sword qi, and stabbed hundreds of times in a single breath, and a large golden sword shadow surrounded the man in black.
Moreover, he manipulated his sword qi to specifically stab the arms, face, and legs of the man in black, all of which were not protected by soft armor.
The man in black swung his sword in embarrassment to resist, and could only block the sword qi that attacked his head.
After another crisp sound of "clanging", the arms and legs of the man in black were pierced by the sword qi into more than a dozen bloody holes.
He knelt on the ground with his sword in both hands, gasping violently.
Crimson blood poured out of a dozen wounds and sprinkled on the dense grass.
At the same time, the Thousand Feather Blade that Ji Tianxing had cast was also over, and three golden sword qi flew back to him and levitated.
"Who are you, and why did you assassinate me?"
He asked in a cold voice, and stepped closer to the man in black, exuding a thick murderous aura all over his body.
The man in black didn't say a word, turned around and ran away without hesitation, as fast as an arrow from a string, and in the blink of an eye, he burrowed into the woods.
"Don't want to escape!"
Ji Tianxing hurriedly rushed to catch up, and also followed into the woods.
However, the night was dark and it was difficult to find a way through the woods.
The man in black has the strength to pass through the Xuan Realm, has cultivated a clever light skill, and is also very familiar with the terrain, and the speed of shuttling through the woods is extremely fast.
Ji Tianxing chased him thousands of meters away, and he was thrown off by the man in black.
"Damn! let him escape again!"
In desperation, Ji Tianxing could only give up the pursuit and return to the tree-lined path unwillingly.
He returned to the place where he had been attacked, removed the two hidden knives nailed to the tree, and searched the vicinity again.
It's a pity that apart from the two hidden weapon flying knives, the man in black didn't leave any clues.
Ji Tianxing had no choice but to put away the two hidden weapon flying knives and rushed back to Fengyun Courtyard with a gloomy face.
When he returned to his lodgings, he didn't even have the heart to eat dinner, and sat under the lamp to carefully observe the two throwing knives.
However, the two knives are just ordinary hidden weapons, with no identification and nothing special.
With only these two hidden weapon flying knives, it was impossible for Ji Tianxing to find out the identity of the man in black.
He put the throwing knife away, and his face was solemn and he frowned in thought.
"That black-clothed man has the strength to pass through the Xuan Realm, and he is very familiar with the terrain of the sect, so he should be the inner disciple of the sect. He ambushed me halfway through, apparently knowing where I was. ”
"But apart from Ji Ling and Lu Mingyang, who else wants to kill me?"
"Fortunately, I just learned the Flying Star Sword Technique, otherwise I wouldn't be able to resist the attack of the man in black, and I would probably be assassinated by him tonight. ”
"But even if I have practiced the Flying Star Sword Technique and can fight with the master of the Tongxuan Realm, I have not cultivated the light skills of the master, and I can't catch up with the man in black at all!"
"It seems that I have to find a high-level light skill to practice as soon as possible. The next time that man in black comes to assassinate me, I'll be able to catch up with him and find out who he is!"
