When Ji Tianxing left the Grand Peace Palace, it was already nine in the morning.
Other than the few lights in the Grand Peace Palace, the entire mountain was shrouded in the darkness of night. It was quiet and eerie.
Even though this was the last time he had returned. He had spent almost two hours practicing the Flying Star Sword Technique.
But his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. His footsteps were much lighter.
Fifteen minutes later, he was walking on a small tree-lined path at the foot of the mountain.
There was not a single person on the path. The surrounding forest was also as dark as ink. It was deathly silent.
Suddenly, two cold lights lit up in the forest. They shot at Ji Tianxing's head and chest like lightning.
"Xiu, xiu!"
Those two cold lights were hidden weapons and throwing knives. They pierced through the night sky with a sharp sound.
Ji Tianxing was pondering over the two sword techniques he had just learned. He was suddenly awakened by the sound and his expression changed.
"Damn it! Someone is ambushing me! "
He immediately exploded with a vast amount of True Essence. He moved three meters to the side to avoid the attack of the two hidden weapons.
The two hidden weapons and throwing knives flew in front of him. With two "dong, dong" sounds, they nailed themselves into a large tree on the side of the road.
The finger-long blade was completely embedded into the tree trunk. The handle was still violently vibrating.
Clearly, these two hidden weapons and throwing knives contained a large amount of power. If they hit Ji Tianxing, they would definitely pierce two bloody holes.
Ji Tianxing retreated to the forest on the side of the road. He hid behind a large tree that was as thick as a water bucket.
Suddenly being ambushed, he was angry and puzzled. But he was still calm and did not lose his composure.
He hid behind the large tree. His sharp eyes observed the forest in front of him, looking for the person who had attacked him.
In the next moment, a black shadow charged out of the forest in front of him.
That person was holding a treasure sword that emitted a cold light. He was charging straight at him.
When he saw that black shadow, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned. His eyes flashed with cold killing intent.
"It's him! That night, he was the one who lured me out of the room and then framed me! "
Ji Tianxing instantly recognized him. This black-clothed warrior with a veil over his face was the black-clothed man from that night.
"Just in time! I want to see who's after me! "
He shouted in his heart as he secretly mobilized the True Essence in his body, and a strong fighting intent burst out from his body.
At the same time, the man in black rushed to the front of Ji Tianxing, less than three meters away.
The black-clothed man leaped, jumping more than three meters high, waving his sword and thrusting out a dozen dazzling dark yellow sword auras, enveloping Ji Tianxing.
"Swish swish swish!"
Suddenly, the night sky around Ji Tianxing was illuminated by the sword light. Many branches and leaves were torn to shreds by the sharp sword qi.
At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to use the Flying Star Sword Technique that he had just learned.
"Thousand Feather Blade!"
Ji Tianxing bellowed with a murderous aura. He suddenly shot out three chopstick-length dark golden Sword Qi towards the black-robed man.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The golden sword Qi was as fast as lightning, and it clashed with the dozen or so sword projections, resulting in a series of crisp sword cries.
In just a short time, the three golden sword Qi had struck hundreds of times. It was so fast that people could not see the trajectory and route of the sword Qi.
The black-robed man's more than a dozen dark yellow sword projections were shattered by the sword Qi on the spot, turning into little yellow light spots and dissipating.
However, the power of the Thousand Feather Blade was not limited to this. The three golden sword Qi were still attacking at a very fast speed.
"Swish swish swish!"
In the blink of an eye, the three sword Qi had attacked hundreds of times.
The black-robed man was obviously stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
"Ding ding dang dang" After a series of collision sounds, the black-robed man's chest and abdomen were stabbed dozens of times by the sword Qi. His body trembled again and again, and he let out a painful muffled groan.
He fell from the air to the grass and rolled a few times before he got up.
The black clothes on his chest and abdomen had been shredded to pieces by the sword Qi, revealing the golden soft armor he wore underneath.
Fortunately, he had the protection of the golden soft armor. Otherwise, he would have been pierced into a sieve by the sword Qi.
The black-robed man angrily shouted in a low voice, and unwillingly waved his sword to attack again.
However, Ji Tianxing controlled the three sword Qi, and stabbed hundreds of times in a breath. A large number of golden sword shadows surrounded the black-robed man.
Moreover, he controlled the sword Qi to stab the black-robed man's arms, face, and legs, which were not protected by the soft armor.
The black-robed man waved his sword to resist, and could only block the sword Qi that was attacking his head.
After another series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, the black-robed man's arms and legs were pierced with more than a dozen bloody holes by the sword Qi.
He half knelt on the ground, holding his sword with both hands, and panted violently.
Red blood flowed out from the more than a dozen wounds, sprinkling on the lush grass.
At the same time, Ji Tianxing's Thousand Feather Blade also ended, and the three golden sword Qi flew back to his side and floated.
"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me? "
He asked in a cold voice, and stepped closer to the black-robed man, exuding a strong murderous aura.
The black-robed man did not say a word, and without hesitation, turned around and fled. His speed was as fast as an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the forest.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Ji Tianxing quickly chased after him, and also entered the forest.
However, the night was dark, and it was difficult to tell the direction in the forest.
The black-robed man had the strength of a Profound Understanding cultivator, and he had cultivated a high level of Qinggong. He was also very familiar with the terrain, and his speed in the forest was extremely fast.
Ji Tianxing had only chased for a thousand meters before he was shaken off by the black-robed man.
"Damn it! I let him escape again! "
In desperation, Ji Tianxing could only give up the chase, and unwillingly return to the tree-lined path.
He returned to the place where he had been attacked, and took down the two concealed throwing knives that were nailed to the tree, and searched the nearby area.
Unfortunately, other than the two concealed throwing knives, the black-robed man did not leave behind any clues.
Ji Tianxing could only put away the two concealed throwing knives, and with a gloomy face, rushed back to the Wind Cloud Courtyard.
After returning to his residence, he did not even have the mood to eat dinner, and sat under the lamp, carefully examining the two throwing knives.
However, the two throwing knives were only common concealed weapons, and did not have any identification, nor was there anything special about them.
With just these two concealed throwing knives, Ji Tianxing could not find out the black-robed man's identity.
He put away the throwing knives, and with a serious expression, he frowned and pondered.
"That black-robed man had the strength of a Profound Understanding cultivator, and he was very familiar with the Sect's terrain, so he should be an Inner Disciple of the Sect. He ambushed me midway, so he obviously knew my whereabouts. "
"But other than Ji Ling and Lu Mingyang, who else wants to kill me?"
"Luckily I had just learned the Flying Star Sword Art, or else I would not have been able to block the black-robed man's attack, and I would have most likely been assassinated by him tonight."
"But even if I had learned the Flying Star Sword Art, and could fight with a Profound Understanding cultivator, I did not cultivate a high level Qinggong, so I would not be able to catch up to that black-robed man!"
"It looks like I need to quickly find a high level Qinggong to cultivate. The next time that black-robed man tries to assassinate me, I will be able to catch up to him, and find out his identity! "
