The black-clothed assassin could not understand, nor did he dare to believe this fact.
While he was still in a daze, twelve streaks of Sword Qi had already arrived in front of him like lightning.
Swish! Swish!
Sword Qi crisscrossed, and a faint golden light flickered in the night sky.
The black-clothed assassin's chest, shoulders, and face were instantly pierced with twelve wounds. Dark red blood spurted out from the wounds.
When experts exchanged blows, they couldn't afford to be distracted or hesitate.
The twelve wounds on his body were the result of being in a daze.
Although these injuries were not fatal, the excruciating pain made him suck in a breath of cold air, and his back broke out in cold sweat.
The Black-Clothed Assassin flew into a rage, fiercely waving his two blades. After shaking off the many sword energies, he charged towards Ji Tianxing.
"Bastard, die!"
As the black-clothed assassin pounced over, there was also a thick murderous aura that made people tremble in fear.
Ji Tianxing was still calm and composed. He did his best to control the twelve Sword Qis to block the assassin's attack.
In this way, the black clothed assassin was unable to approach him any longer, and he was surrounded by danger by the numerous sword qi attacks, causing him to be in an extremely sorry state.
In a short span of ten breaths, the black-clothed assassin had been stabbed thirty-seven times, and his body was covered with wounds.
Blood gushed out and soaked his clothes, making him look like a bloody person. He looked exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
Even the ferocious Crimson Fire Ape would not be able to withstand such heavy injuries, let alone a Fourth Level True Energy Stage assassin in black!
The consequence of losing too much blood was that his vision became blurry, his strength quickly dissipated, and his footsteps became even more unsteady.
The black-clothed assassin's heart was filled with terror. He no longer had any will to fight and only wanted to turn around and flee.
However, Ji Tianxing controlled the twelve Sword Qis and chased after him, stabbing into his head and neck.
The black-clothed assassin barely managed to take five steps before he fell to the ground with a plop.
He lay on the ground and twitched for a while before he breathed his last.
After all, his neck and the back of his head had been pierced by the Sword Qi, and those were fatal wounds.
Fresh blood splattered on the grass, filling the air with a thick stench of blood.
When Ji Tianxing saw that the black-clothed assassin was dead, he immediately retracted the twelve Sword Qis into his body and fell weakly onto the grass.
Within a day, he had manipulated the Sword Qi in his body to fight twice.
This greatly exhausted his mental and physical strength, and he was already on the verge of fainting.
He closed his eyes and lay on the grass, feeling that every nerve in his body was exhausted. His head was so heavy that he just wanted to sleep.
At this moment, the little ice fox flew out from the Gloomy Forest and landed beside Ji Tianxing.
Just now, when Ji Tianxing was fighting with the black-clothed assassin, it saw that the situation was not good and quietly hid in the forest, waiting for the battle to end before coming out.
"Hmph, there are many demonic beasts in the Taiye Mountain Range that have a grudge against me. I didn't expect you to be hunted down by your enemies as well."
"Sigh … How are we going to escape in your current state?"
The little ice fox sighed and muttered, but its little paws were not idle. It hurriedly took out two small jade bottles from its bag and pushed them in front of Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing panted for a while and recovered a little of his strength. He hurriedly opened the small jade bottle and poured out a few elixirs to consume.
He closed his eyes and lay down for another fifteen minutes. When he heard the roars of demonic beasts coming from all directions, he forced his exhausted body to stand up shakily.
"The stench of blood on the grass will attract the demonic beasts. We should leave now."
He said in a weak voice and carried the bag and the Blood Dragon Sword on his back. With heavy steps, he walked into the darkness.
In the next few hours, Ji Tianxing endured his injuries and hurried on with his journey while gritting his teeth.
With the help of the little ice fox, he was always able to avoid those dangerous demonic beasts in advance, as well as some warriors who were searching for the Red Star Flower in the mountains.
Along the way, there were scares but no mishaps. However, his mental and physical strength were exhausted.
Every time he went over a mountain, he had to rest for fifteen minutes. During this time, he also ate elixirs and dry rations twice.
The long, dark night finally passed.
When the first ray of light shone in the morning, Ji Tianxing finally let out a long sigh of relief. He found a cave in the mountains and hid in it to recuperate and rest.
He first bandaged the wounds on his body and then circulated his energy to heal the injuries in his body.
After treating his injuries, he rested in the cave for another four hours.
When it was noon, Ji Tianxing finally recovered his strength and 60% of his physical strength.
He then left the cave with the little ice fox and rushed towards the exit of the Tai Ye Mountain Range.
After he went over four mountains in a row, it was almost evening. He finally returned to the exit of the mountain range and entered the lush valley.
When Ji Tianxing was crossing the valley, he met a few warriors who were entering the mountains.
These people were all here for the Red Star Flower.
Their minds were filled with thoughts of how to find and snatch the Red Star Flower. When they brushed past Ji Tianxing, they only glanced at him casually and did not stop at all.
But they would never have thought that the Red Star Flower had been picked long ago and was in Ji Tianxing's possession.
When night fell, Ji Tianxing quietly returned to Tai Ye Town.
The town, which had been bustling with noise a few days ago, was quiet at this time and had returned to its usual desolation.
After all, all the warriors who came to look for the Red Star Flower had entered the Tai Ye Mountain Range.
Ji Tianxing did not return to the Fortune Inn, nor did he look for his Frost and Snow Chasing Wind Horse.
Because he knew that the people who wanted to assassinate him and the assassins of the Blood-clothed Tower must be watching the Fortune Inn.
The black-clothed assassin who had tried to assassinate him in the mountains must also be from the Blood-clothed Tower.
He was just wondering in his heart who had hired the Blood-clothed Tower's assassins to assassinate him.
Regarding this question, he vaguely had an answer in his heart, but he was not sure yet.
In his current situation, it was impossible for him to investigate this matter. The best choice was of course to return to the Imperial City immediately.
That night, Ji Tianxing got a horse in the town and left Tai Ye Town overnight.
For the next three days, he galloped on his horse and rushed to the Imperial City without stopping under the night and the sky.
After a bumpy journey of 2,000 miles, he finally rushed back to the Ji Mansion in the morning of the third day.
After returning to the Ji Mansion, Ji Tianxing did not have time to report the news to his father and went directly to the Breeze Courtyard.
He told Huan 'er that he would be in seclusion for a few days and that no one should disturb him.
Then he entered the secret chamber and prepared to use the power of the Red Star Flower to condense the Sword Embryo.
In the dark secret chamber, the Vital Energy Gathering Array was activated and was absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth from all directions and gathering it in the center of the array.
Ji Tianxing sat cross-legged in the array and held a sandalwood box with both hands.
Looking at the six silver petals in the box, a gratified smile appeared on his face. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
In the past ten days, he had desperately rushed more than 4,000 miles and almost lost his life several times when he encountered life-threatening situations.
Now that he had the Red Star Flower, the running and danger of the past ten days were all worth it.
He could finally condense the Sword Embryo.
"I've been waiting for this day for too long!"
