Assassin!
The person in front of him was definitely an assassin!
This assassin not only had top-notch concealment methods, but his strength was also very strong. The killing intent all over his body was even more terrifying, almost able to be controlled freely, making people feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
If not for Nie Tian thought of having a tenacious nature, he would most likely lose his composure after being targeted by this person.
A hundred meters away, the black-clothed person's eyes twitched when he saw Nie Tian staring at him calmly, not avoiding his gaze in the slightest, seemingly somewhat angry.
In the next instant, the black-clothed person's figure moved, disappearing in a flash.
"Little thief, where are you running?" Tong Fu already yelled loudly before Nie Tian moved, leaping and giving chase.
"Fu!" Nie Tian and Gu Yi yelled at the same time, but Tong Fu's figure was already a hundred meters away.
"Old Gu, Young Lord Ding, you guys wait here, I'll go after Fu," Nie Tian said as he sprinted madly.
That assassin clearly wanted to lure Nie Tian over, but Nie Tian had no intention of going over. But now that Tong Fu gave chase, he had no choice but to go over.
This assassin was able to avoid so many Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards and directly appear within a hundred meters of the dragon bloodstone mine, it was enough to show his strength.
And the sword qi he shot out just now was extremely sharp. It was the most terrifying sword qi Nie Tian had seen since his rebirth.
If Nie Tian guessed correctly, this person's Sword Dao realm must have reached the Sword Intent Realm.
The Sword Intent was a level higher than the Sword Heart Realm.
Sword qi contained Sword Heart, Sword Heart condensed Sword Intent, Sword Intent produced Sword Force.
Sword Heart, Sword Intent, Sword Force, these three Sword Dao realms were closely related.
Swordsmen who could reach Sword Intent Realm were absolutely Sword Dao geniuses. Especially in these three thousand small worlds, it was even more rare.
Although Tong Fu's strength had already reached First Level True Essence, with Nie Tian's deduction, he was absolutely not a match for the black-clothed assassin.
Nie Tian was worried about Tong Fu's safety. The Proud Sword Heaven Wings appeared on his back. The wings flapped, and in the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to Tong Fu.
The two stopped in a canyon, and the black-clothed person's aura completely disappeared.
"Strange, that thief is gone. I clearly saw him enter this canyon. How did he disappear in the blink of an eye? "Tong Fu looked around in confusion, but couldn't find the figure of the black-clothed man.
Nie Tian frowned slightly, feeling extremely nervous. He spread out his Spiritual Sense and searched within a thousand meters, but there was no aura.
"This person is a professional assassin. His concealment skills are very good. If he doesn't want to show himself, I won't be able to find him," Nie Tian thought. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Fu, let's leave." On both sides of the canyon were cliffs and huge rocks. The man in black could be hiding anywhere. Nie Tian thought that something bad was about to happen. As he spoke, he retreated cautiously.
"That little thief got lucky. He's definitely here to snatch the Dragon Bloodstone." Tong Fu was carefree, completely unaware of the danger.
Of course, Nie Tian knew that this man in black was definitely not here to snatch the Dragon Blood Stone.
This person had concealed himself for a long time and directly attacked Nie Tian. Clearly, he wanted to kill Nie Tian with a single strike.
Therefore, this assassin must have been ordered by someone to take Nie Tian's life.
To be able to hire such a terrifying assassin, Nie Tian had already faintly guessed that the person behind this was most likely Diao Zhengde.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! " Just as Nie Tian and Tong Fu retreated cautiously, a sharp whistling sound rang in the air. Two Sword Qi like two silver snakes shot towards them.
Nie Tian saw it clearly. Although the two Sword Qi didn't look imposing at first glance, their speed and aura were extremely terrifying. Even a True Element Realm martial artist's True Element Qi might not be able to withstand it.
"Sword Seventeen!" Nie Tian reacted extremely quickly. He turned his palm and Sword Qi gushed out from his palm, forming a sword shield in front of him. At the same time, his body flashed with a green light. Extreme Wood Blue Sky Battle Armor was activated.
Tong Fu also took out the Hammer of Destruction and held it horizontally in front of his chest as a shield.
"Bang! Bang! "Two explosive sounds rang out as the Sword Qi hit Nie Tian and Tong Fu at the same time. The two figures hurriedly retreated.
Nie Tian's sword shield was broken, and even the Extreme Wood Blue Sky Battle Armor was cracked.
Tong Fu had the Hammer of Destruction. The Sword Qi bounced off the cliff and sank into a ten-meter-tall boulder.
"Bang!" In the next moment, the boulder couldn't withstand the surging force of the Sword Qi and suddenly exploded into rubble.
"Damn! This little bastard's Sword Qi is so powerful! "Tong Fu exclaimed, a look of panic on his face.
Nie Tian stabilized his body and slightly frowned. His brain was working at full speed. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled into a strange smile. Immediately, Heaven Rend appeared in his hand. With a thrust of the sword, tens of thousands of sword shadows suddenly appeared in the sky.
The sword shadows formed a large net and spread out.
"So powerful!" Tong Fu exclaimed, a look of surprise on his face.
However, Nie Tian still looked nervous. As if suddenly sensing something, he raised the Heaven Rend in his hand and slashed down.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the Sword Qi overflowed and the sword light shone brightly. A hundred-meter-long sword shadow appeared and pressed forward majestically. The sudden burst of momentum made people's hearts palpitate.
Tong Fu looked surprised and puzzled because he couldn't see anyone in front of him, nor could he sense any aura.
However, in the next moment, a strange scene appeared.
"Puff!" A soft sound broke through the air. The huge sword net formed by the sword shadows seemed to be broken by something. Then, a vague outline appeared in the air. In the blink of an eye, it became clear and actually turned into the appearance of a black-robed man.
"This …" Tong Fu was stunned. He couldn't understand how the black-robed man appeared out of thin air.
The black-robed man rushed out of the sword net. A light shadow short sword appeared in his hand. With just a slash in the air, a thin layer of shield visible to the naked eye was formed around his body.
"Boom!" The hundred-meter-long sword shadow fell like a mountain collapsing. The whole canyon shook violently, and a terrifying ravine immediately appeared on the ground.
Suddenly, gravel and dust flew everywhere.
After a long time, the gravel in the air gradually fell, but the black-robed man had already disappeared.
"Mister Nie, that little thief was killed by your sword?" Tong Fu couldn't find the black-robed man and asked in shock.
However, Nie Tian frowned and shook his head, saying, "He escaped."
Although the gravel was flying and he couldn't see anything clearly, Nie Tian sensed that the black-robed man's aura was tyrannical. It was obvious that he wasn't injured.
Moreover, the thin shield around the black-robed man's body was condensed from sword intent. Although it looked very weak, its defensive power was no weaker than the True Essence of a True Essence martial artist.
Although Nie Tian's sword just now was powerful, it was impossible to break through the shield condensed from sword intent.
At the critical moment, the black-robed man chose to use sword intent to defend instead of True Essence. This undoubtedly meant that his strength was at the Giant Spirit Realm and hadn't reached the True Essence Realm yet.
What puzzled Nie Tian was that with his current rank 45 Spiritual Power, he actually couldn't sense the black-robed man's strength.
"Mister Nie, what happened just now? Why was that little thief able to appear out of thin air? Could it be that he's a ghost? "Tong Fu still didn't know what happened just now, so he asked.
Nie Tian said, "He was invisible just now."
"Invisible?" Tong Fu cried out strangely, "How is that possible?"
"Of course it's possible." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "There are countless martial techniques in the world. Some martial techniques can allow a martial artist's body to fuse with space, achieving the effect of concealing one's figure and aura. There are even some martial artists whose innate primordial spirits have the ability to conceal themselves. "
"Holy sh * t! Then wouldn't a martial artist who can conceal himself be able to approach anyone at will? "Tong Fu cried out strangely and said.
Nie Tian smiled and said, "Although the concealment martial technique is peculiar, it can't make a martial artist's body disappear. It just can't be detected by other martial artists. Every martial artist has a certain aura around them. If someone else enters your aura, you'll naturally be able to detect it, even if you can't see that person. "
"Aura?" Tong Fu had a suspicious look and said, "Why don't I have it?"
"Of course you do. It's just that you don't know it." Nie Tian looked at Gu Yi and smiled. However, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, "This assassin has failed this time. He definitely won't let it go. Looks like I'll have to be extra careful from now on."
Nie Tian had used the sword net to determine the position of the black-clothed man. Then, he slashed down with Heaven Piercing Sword. He originally thought that he would be able to severely injure the black-clothed man, but he didn't expect the latter to escape.
It was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by an assassin who could conceal himself.
"Sword Intent Swordsman, you're originally a pretty good piece of unpolished jade. Why do you have to do such a dirty job as an assassin?" Nie Tian shook his head slightly. He actually felt pity for the assassin.
Nie Tian could sense that this assassin wasn't old. He should be around 20 years old. To be able to reach the Sword Intent Realm at this age, his talent in the Sword Dao was pretty good. He wasn't much weaker than Duanmu Lu.
Duanmu Lu was 15 years old and had reached the Sword Qi Realm. However, this was under the situation where he was suppressed by the Eight Extreme Sword Seal. If he didn't have the Eight Extreme Sword Seal, Duanmu Lu's Sword Dao Realm would at least be at the Sword Heart Realm or even the Sword Intent Realm.
It was a pity that this black-clothed man had embarked on the path of no return as an assassin.
On the path of the Sword Dao, if one wanted to walk far, one must have a pure heart for the Sword Dao. The profession of an assassin was bloody and dirty. Living in the darkness, it was destined that a true Sword Dao expert could not be produced.
Swoosh! Right at this time, an ear-piercing sound rang in the air. Something flew towards Nie Tian.
Nie Tian frowned. Without hesitation, he extended his hand to catch it. It was actually a bronze token.
"City Lord Nie Tian, we will meet again." Just as Nie Tian was bewildered, a faint voice came from the air and gradually disappeared.
The assassin just now actually didn't leave. He only left now!
Nie Tian looked at the black token in his hand. There was only a scythe carved on it. There was nothing else. This made him frown uncontrollably.
A moment later, Gu Yi and Ding Yifan rushed over with over a dozen Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards. Seeing that Nie Tian and Tong Fu were fine, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Old Gu, you came at the right time. Take a look. Do you recognize this token?" Nie Tian handed over the bronze token and asked.
