Just as Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao opened their mouths to warn him, Ji Tianxing had already retreated ten meters away.
Swoosh!
He brushed past a few black-robed men and narrowly avoided the siege of more than ten black-robed men.
Although a few black-robed men's sharp claws had scratched his robe and hair, he was not injured.
However, he was not injured. There were only a few cuts on his white robe.
Only then did Ji Tianxing see clearly that there were a total of sixteen black-robed men.
Moreover, the black-robed men's height, appearance, and aura were exactly the same. It was extremely strange.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sixteen black-robed men's attacks all missed, but they immediately reacted and turned around to pounce on Ji Tianxing in unison. Their speed was even faster than before.
This time, Ji Tianxing was already prepared. He immediately activated his majestic True Essence and released three golden sword rays. He performed the first move of the Flying Star Sword Technique.
"Thousand Feather Blade!"
The three golden sword rays carried a sharp and domineering aura and attacked those black-robed men as fast as lightning.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The three sword rays split into nine and stabbed more than two hundred black-robed men in the blink of an eye.
The dazzling sword rays covered an area of twenty meters and illuminated the dark sky.
Under the illumination of the golden light, Ji Tianxing finally saw clearly that the eyes of the black-robed men were filled with emerald green flames.
His body suddenly shook, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"These black-robed men … are not human!"
At the same time, six black-robed men who were not covered by the sword rays pounced over like ghosts and launched a siege without fear of death.
Ji Tianxing was about to perform the Flying Star Sword Technique to block the attacks of the six black-robed men.
At this time, Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao had already rushed to his side.
Long Yun Xiao raised his hand and slapped out a huge flaming palm, bursting with the power to destroy the heaven and earth, slapping towards the black-robed men.
With a muffled bang, two black-robed men were hit by the flaming palm and burned on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the two black-robed men were burned to ashes and scattered on the grassland.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing was even more certain that these black-robed people were not humans, but more like ghosts or puppets!
At this moment, Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao attacked at the same time and smashed the four black-robed men who had rushed to the front.
After the four black-robed men collapsed, they spontaneously combusted and turned into black ashes that scattered across the grassland.
In the blink of an eye, only ten of the sixteen black-robed men were left.
The ten black-robed men were stabbed by the Thousand Feather Blade over a thousand times, and their fates were too horrible to endure.
Six of the black-robed men were smashed into pieces by the sword light. After a burst of fire, they turned into black ashes.
Among the four surviving black-robed men, one of them seemed to be afraid of the battle. With a 'swoosh', he dived into the grass and disappeared.
The other three black-robed men did not know the difference between life and death, and rushed towards Ji Tianxing without any regard for their lives.
The result was obvious. Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and Long Yunxiao casually attacked and smashed the three black-robed men into pieces and burned them to black ashes.
Fifteen of the sixteen black-robed men were destroyed, and only one of them escaped without a trace.
Ji Tianxing and the others did not chase after him. They lowered their heads to examine the black ashes on the grass, hoping to find clues from them.
After a while, Yun Yao spoke first, "There's no need to investigate. The sixteen black-robed men just now are not living people. Someone used some kind of secret technique to create puppets with wraiths!"
Ji Tianxing and Long Yunxiao revealed a look of understanding.
"I see."
"No wonder they were so ghastly."
During the battle just now, Ji Tianxing used his spiritual consciousness to investigate the black-robed men's backgrounds.
Unfortunately, he did not detect the black-robed men's strength and realm. He only detected the ghastly Ghost Qi.
He frowned and said with a serious face, "I don't know who wants to deal with us. They used wraiths and secret techniques to create puppets, and they all have the strength of the seventh level of the Tong Xuan Realm."
Long Yunxiao's face was also a little gloomy. He shouted in a dignified tone, "It's most likely the damned Demon Clan. They found out about our whereabouts and set up an ambush here!"
"I didn't expect that the cruel and bloodthirsty Demon Clan would not only cause trouble in the Central Plains, but also in the territory of the human race!"
Yun Yao pondered in silence for a while. Then, she shook her head and said, "It's too early to make a conclusion now."
"This kind of secret technique to create puppets with wraiths should be some kind of incantation. Not only the Demon Clan is proficient in it, but some evil sects and forces also know how to use it."
Ji Tianxing nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Sister is right. This is a key clue. We can investigate from the people who are proficient in incantation …"
Yun Yao also nodded and said, "Fortunately, there are very few people who are proficient in incantation. As long as we investigate with all our strength, it shouldn't be difficult to find the truth."
Long Yunxiao could not help but feel a little jealous when he saw the two of them echoing each other and maintaining the same point of view.
However, he did not show it. He quickly suppressed those distracting thoughts and focused his attention on the investigation and the mission to exterminate the Demon Clan.
Not long after, night fell.
Ji Tianxing hurriedly led Yun Yao and Long Yunxiao to the side of the black stone tablet in the grassland.
He took out the Atlas Badge and placed it on the black stone tablet. Then, he silently injected his True Essence.
The stone tablet immediately lit up with a silver light and emitted a powerful formation fluctuation.
Soon, Flame Spirit City's Great Protective Formation was activated. The scene in front of the three of them changed.
An ancient black city appeared out of thin air on the originally empty grassland. The enormous city gates were tightly shut.
The three of them walked together toward Flame Spirit City's gates.
… …
At the same time, in the haunted house in the western district of Flame Spirit City.
"Whoosh!"
A skinny black-robed man suddenly emerged from the ground and appeared in the dark secret chamber.
Granny Ghost and the Blood Demon King had been waiting quietly in the secret chamber.
When he suddenly saw the black-robed man appear, the Blood Demon King's eyes immediately revealed a strong sense of anticipation.
"Granny Ghost, quickly take a look at the results."
Granny Ghost's left hand formed a seal and her right hand shook the snake-headed walking stick, casting a secret spell.
Suddenly, the black-robed man's ghostly fire eyes flickered violently, as if he was conveying some kind of message.
Granny Ghost silently sensed for a while. Then, she gently shook her head and sighed. "Those three little bastards are quite strong. The Phantom Puppets could not find the results and were all scattered."
As she spoke, she formed another seal and shook the snake-headed walking stick to cast a secret spell.
The black-robed man suddenly twisted and turned back into a scarecrow with a 'whoosh'. He quietly lay on the stone table.
The Blood Demon King stared at the scarecrow with a look of deep disappointment.
Suddenly, he saw a faint trace of black on the yellow scarecrow.
"What is this?"
He frowned in confusion and instinctively looked down. Only then did he realize that there was a strand of black hair on the scarecrow.
He reached out and twirled the strand of black hair. He muttered to himself, "A strand of hair on the puppet's body? Whose hair is this? "
Hearing this, Granny Ghost's gloomy eyes suddenly emitted a faint green light.
