Illusion!
As Nie Tian recalled what had just happened, he was convinced that the ghost-faced swordsman had killed his opponent with an illusory magic.
The Ghostly Swordsman's sword intent contained extremely powerful psychic power. It was the psychic deterrence in the sword intent that made his opponent hallucinate and self-destruct.
Nie Tian had to admit that the Ghostly Swordsman's sword intent was too strange. It was the first time he had seen something like this in his life.
Among swordsmen, it was extremely rare to find someone who could integrate psychic power into the sword intent. And it was even rarer to find someone who could use the sword intent to create illusions.
This Ghostly Swordsman could perfectly integrate illusion into the sword intent. It was truly terrifying.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the Ghostly Swordsman didn't even move. He only released some sword intent to kill his opponent. This kind of killing technique was terrifying.
No wonder Fat Cat had asked Nie Tian to pay attention to this person. It turned out that this guy was a swordsman who could use illusion techniques.
In fact, Nie Tian's sword intent also contained a psychic sword intent. The Soul Devouring Sword Intent could attack the opponent's mind invisibly.
However, this Ghostly Swordsman's control of psychic sword intent was much more profound.
"It seems that this guy will be a formidable opponent for me." Nie Tian calmed down and said to himself.
"Yeah." Fat Cat nodded and said, "This Ghostly Swordsman hasn't revealed his true strength yet. If you encounter him, you must be very careful. Even if you have the Holographic Divine Glyph, you may not be able to escape his illusion."
Nie Tian let out a deep breath and nodded slightly.
Illusory magic was a very unreasonable method of attack. Even a peak Paramount God would be played like a fiddle in the palm of the caster's hand.
Just like the swordsman who had just died, he didn't even know how he died.
Nie Tian looked at the Ghostly Swordsman and said to himself, "Which force are you from?"
He had already confirmed that the Ghost-Faced Swordsman was an assassin, so his first guess was that this person was from Ni Lin.
If the Ghost-Faced Swordsman was a member of Ni Lin, then it was highly likely that he had come for Nie Tian. After all, Nie Tian had killed the Thirteen Thorns of Ni Lin. Ni Lin would certainly not let him off.
First, it was Xuanyuan Yuncong, then it was Wind-Fire, Ice, and now there was a Ghost-Faced Swordsman who could use Sword Intent to create illusions. This Evil Edge Sword Duel was getting more and more interesting.
Nie Tian did not have much fear in his heart at this moment. Instead, he was a little excited. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful beings would appear next.
Then, Nie Tian had his third match. His opponent wasn't strong, so he easily won.
After three matches, Nie Tian's battle for the day was over. Next, he could focus on observing the battles of the other swordsmen.
"Nie Tian." At this time, Gui Wucan had also ended his battle. He came to Nie Tian's side and said worriedly, "This time, there are a lot of powerful beings in the Evil Edge Sword Duel. I guess it will be difficult for me to enter the top 16."
Gui Wucan had won all three of his battles today.
However, he had only encountered weak opponents. Therefore, it was hard to say if he could continue to advance.
"I also didn't expect that the Evil Edge Sword Duel would attract so many powerful beings." Nie Tian smiled bitterly, but the determination in his eyes did not change.
Jian Jingyun had also ended his battle and came to Nie Tian and Gui Wucan's side. He frowned but did not say anything.
He had always been steady, but at this moment, he could not help but become worried.
"Jian Jingyun, what are you thinking about?" Nie Tian looked at Jian Jingyun and asked with a faint smile.
"Nie Tian, there are so many powerful beings in the Evil Edge Sword Duel. Do you still have the confidence to obtain the position of Sword Leader?" Jian Jingyun nodded as he voiced his worries heavily.
He already knew that Nie Tian wanted to use the Evil Edge Sword Duel to save Jian Qingchi.
However, the prerequisite to saving Jian Qingchi was that Nie Tian had to obtain the position of Sword Leader.
Previously, Jian Jingyun was very confident in Nie Tian, but now, he began to worry.
Windfire, Ice, and company were just too powerful. Their strength was comparable to the legendary figures of the older generation. Would Nie Tian be their match?
"Don't worry, I must obtain the position of Sword Leader." Nie Tian knew what Jian Jingyun was worried about. He smiled faintly and exuded great confidence.
Jian Jingyun nodded, but he still did not look too good. He hated himself for being so weak that he could not carry the burden of saving Jian Qingchi with Nie Tian.
At this moment, Gui Wucan suddenly cried out in joy and pointed at a sword duel. "Look, Lian Wuyi is on stage!"
Nie Tian suddenly looked up and saw Lian Wuyi appear on a stone pillar in the sword duel.
Lian Wuyi's Bloodweeping Swordsoul had been extracted from her body, but her battle prowess was still not to be underestimated. She had the strength of a peak overgod and had reached the Intermediate Sword Dao realm. She was strong enough to fight early or even mid Paramount Gods.
Nie Tian reckoned that even Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan might not be Lian Wuyi's match.
Therefore, as long as the opponent wasn't too strong, Lian Wuyi would definitely win.
Many of the people present recognized Lian Wuyi, so her battle naturally attracted a lot of attention.
A moment later, a figure landed on the stone pillar in front of Lian Wuyi.
"Huh? Who's that? " As this figure descended, the crowd frowned. Their gazes were filled with doubt, and their faces were filled with confusion.
The figure was very strange. Her entire body was hidden in a loose black robe, and the place where the face should have been was a pitch-black hole. It was very strange.
Judging from the figure, it was most likely a woman.
"Hmm?" When Nie Tian saw the black-robed figure, he couldn't help but tremble in surprise.
The black-robed figure gave him a very familiar feeling, but its aura was very strange, which made Nie Tian feel very strange.
Nie Tian immediately activated his holographic divine patterns in an attempt to get a better sense of the black-robed figure's aura. But strangely, his holographic divine patterns didn't even get close to the figure before they bounced back.
Nie Tian was taken aback, and the confusion in his heart deepened.
"This, this is …" Right at this moment, Fat Cat's voice suddenly sounded. He was extremely shocked, and he trembled for a few seconds before saying, "The Underworld Emperor Holy Robe!"
"The Underworld Emperor Holy Robe?" Nie Tian's eyes trembled when he heard these words, and the shock in his heart was written all over his face.
The Underworld Emperor. When Nie Tian heard this name, he naturally thought of another person — Xue 'er.
Although he didn't know what the Underworld Emperor Holy Robe was, the fact that the black-robed figure could wear it clearly meant that this person was closely related to the Underworld Emperor.
"The black-robed figure has the Meridians of Three Lives, could she be …" Fat Cat ignored Nie Tian's shock. Instead, his expression became extremely horrified.
Right at this moment, the black-robed figure suddenly moved. A crimson longsword appeared in her hand, and it exuded an extremely terrifying aura of sword intent.
"This is …" Nie Tian's eyes trembled when he saw the crimson longsword, and his expression instantly stiffened.
