Chapter 022: Sword Qi Vertical

After Ji Tianxing left Qingyun Palace, he walked out of Lingyan Palace in the cool night breeze and stepped into the carriage parked on the side of the road.

There was no need for him to open his mouth, the coachman Lao Lei naturally understood, drove into the darkness, and returned to the Ji Mansion.

Ji Tianxing sat in the carriage, pulled a strip of cloth and simply bandaged the wound on his calf, and then frowned and thought about what happened just now.

After a while, the carriage pulled into a dark bluestone path.

Although the path is a bit remote, and there are only a few families nearby, this is the only way to return to Jifu from Lingyan Palace.

The path is lined with large trees, which looks dark and oppressive at night.

The carriage drove unhurriedly, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the night sky.

Suddenly, a sharp cracking sound sounded.

The coachman Lao Lei let out a muffled snort, and his body rolled off the carriage and fell to the ground.

Ji Tianxing woke up instantly, immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and rushed to the coachman's side.

I saw that the coachman Lao Lei was lying motionless on the ground, and he was about to lose his breath.

He had an arrow stuck in his chest, and blood gushed from the wound, staining his clothes.

Ji Tianxing's face became very gloomy, and his eyes flashed with cold killing intent.

He knew that there were Assassins in ambush and attack.

Sure enough, footsteps immediately sounded on the path ahead, and two black-clad figures were galloping towards them.

Ji Tianxing immediately rushed into the woods on the side of the road and ran wildly in the direction of Ji Fu.

The dense foliage was knocked open by him, making a "bang" sound.

The two vigorous figures also rushed over like a swift wind, and chased into the woods without hesitation.

The two of them ran murderously, and the sword in their hands lit up in the night.

Although Ji Tianxing ran desperately, his left calf was injured, and his speed couldn't be fast at all.

After just a few breaths, the two sturdy figures chased after him and launched an attack with a low shout.

"Whew!"

The two cold-glowing swords rose high and slashed towards Ji Tianxing's head almost simultaneously.

The branches and leaves that stood between the two killers and Ji Tianxing were instantly crushed into pieces by the fierce sword qi and splashed in all directions.

At the critical moment, Ji Tianxing could only stop, holding the Blood Dragon Sword in both hands, turning around and swinging the sword to sweep to resist the other party's assassination.

"Bell!

The three swords collided violently, bursting into a crisp metallic sound.

The powerful impact force came from the Blood Dragon Sword, making Ji Tianxingzhen's arms numb, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He could instantly conclude that the other party was a martial artist of the True Yuan Realm.

Sure enough, when he looked at it, he found that the swords of the two killers were shrouded in a faint layer of True Yuan brilliance.

Judging from the red and yellow True Yuan Guanghua, the other party should be the strength of the first and second True Yuan Realm.

"The strength of the first and second levels of the True Yuan Realm also wants to assassinate me?"

"However, I can't be sure how many killers there are, and I have to be careful!"

Ji Tianxing secretly sneered in his heart, and there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

He pretended to be invincible, and continued to flee in a hurry.

The two masked killers dressed in black were fooled, and they rushed forward desperately, swinging their swords and stabbing him in the back with all their might.

It was probably because they were too confident, or they were in a hurry to kill Ji Tianxing, so as not to expose their identities as soon as possible.

Both of them used a trick to assassinate Ji Tianxing, but they ignored their own defenses, and the middle door was wide open, revealing many flaws.

Just when the two of them were full of excitement, thinking that they would be able to kill Ji Tianxing on the spot, they saw Ji Tianxing turn around abruptly, revealing a playful sneer.

"Die!"

Ji Tianxing let out a murderous low shout, suddenly bent down and squatted, narrowly avoiding the assassination of the two swords.

Both swords grazed over his head, only two inches apart, but they missed at the same time.

Moreover, the chest and abdomen of the two masked killers were also presented in front of him without defense.

Ji Tianxing is waiting for this moment!

Without hesitation, he put down the Blood Dragon Sword and raised his palms to slap the chests of the two killers with all his might.

"Bang bang!"

With a muffled sound, his palms struck the two killers firmly.

Two dark golden sword qi burst out from his palms and pierced into the hearts of the two killers without hindrance.

The two masked killers suddenly shook their bodies, and their rushing footsteps stopped.

The two of them turned around, their eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Ji Tianxing, and a muffled low cry came out of their mouths.

"You're not ......"

"This ...... How is that possible?!"

The eyes of the two were full of horror and anger, and they couldn't believe that they were defeated by a waste hand of "Triple Body Refining".

The two of them knew that they would definitely die, so they were unwilling to swing their swords and stab Ji Tianxing's head.

But Ji Tianxing had already grasped the Blood Dragon Sword, and with a wave of his hand, the sword swept out, and the two of them bounced their swords away.

The two killers took a few steps back, leaning weakly against the tree, blood gushing out of their mouths, soaking the masked towel.

They could no longer say a word, a "gurgling" sound came from their throats, and the vitality in their eyes quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them fell limply, lying in the grass, no longer silent.

Ji Tianxing hurriedly picked off their masked scarves with his sword, and after seeing their appearances clearly, he showed a sneer that was really so.

"Hmph, Ling Yunfei, you really still refuse to let me go!"

Because, he recognized one of the killers, it was the guards who often followed Ling Yunfei.

He was afraid that there were still killers in ambush nearby, so he didn't dare to linger, turned around and continued to escape.

After passing through the dense woods, he fled along the path to the Kifu.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Tianxing returned to Ji Mansion without danger, and did not encounter another ambush on the way.

After returning to the room in Qingfeng Courtyard, he asked Huan'er to bring a medicine box and carefully treat the sword wound on his calf.

After taking care of his injuries, he asked Huan'er to take a back seat to rest, while he went into the secret room and went to retreat and practice.

Several events happened tonight that made him realize that his opponent couldn't wait to get rid of him.

Now not only can he not leave the city, but even inside the imperial city is not safe, and he will be ambushed by killers on the way home.

He couldn't help but wonder if the next opponent would send someone to infiltrate the Ji Mansion to assassinate him?

As soon as he thought about it, his desire to improve his strength became stronger and stronger.

"Cultivation! We must condense the sword fetus as soon as possible and return to the True Yuan Realm!"

Ji Tianxing soon entered a state of cultivation, focusing on cultivating the way of sword heart and condensing new sword qi.

The night passed quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, he had condensed two more sword qi and stored them in the two acupoints in his body.

He recovered the strength of the twelve sword qi, endured the pain like Ling Chi, and tried to carry the sword qi and gather it in the dantian.

The result was obvious, and he failed again.

The twelve sword qi were stored in the twelve apertures in his body, which were distributed on the back of his hands, arms, shoulders, and chest.

It was almost impossible to carry all those sword qi to the belly dantian!

His weak meridians couldn't withstand the tearing and cutting of the sword qi at all!

Ji Tianxing had no choice but to suspend his cultivation, and lay down in the secret room to rest in some frustration.

He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, his mind constantly wondering, what was wrong?

Why did he try more than a dozen times after cultivating the twelve sword qis, but he still couldn't condense the sword fetus?

Could it be that something has gone wrong in cultivation? Or is the cultivation method wrong?
