When Ji Tianxing left Tai'an Palace, it was already Haishi.
Except for a few lights in Tai'an Palace, the entire mountain was shrouded in darkness, quiet and eerie.
Although this was the latest time he went back, he was delayed for nearly an hour practicing the Flying Star Sword Technique.
But his heart was full of excitement and expectation, and his steps were much brisker.
A quarter of an hour later, he was walking on the tree-lined path at the foot of the mountain.
There was not a single soul on the trail, and the surrounding mountains and forests were as dark as ink and silent.
Suddenly, two points of cold light shone in the woods, shooting towards Ji Tianxing's forehead and chest as fast as lightning.
"Boohoo!"
Those two points of cold light were clearly hidden weapons, flying knives, which passed through the night sky and made a sharp sound.
Ji Tianxing was pondering over the two sword techniques he had just learned when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of breaking through the air, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it! Someone ambushed me!"
He immediately burst out with majestic true energy and retreated three meters away to avoid the attacks of the two hidden weapons.
Two concealed flying knives flew in front of him and hammered into a big tree beside the road with two "doudo" sounds.
The finger-long blade was completely submerged into the tree trunk, and the handle was still vibrating violently.
Obviously, these two hidden weapons and flying knives contained great power. If they hit Ji Tianxing, they would definitely pierce two bloody holes.
Ji Tianxing retreated to the woods beside the road and hid behind a big tree as thick as a bucket.
When he was suddenly attacked, he was angry and confused, but he remained calm and did not lose his sense of proportion.
He hid behind a big tree and watched the woods ahead with keen eyes, looking for the person who attacked him.
The next moment, a black shadow rushed out from the woods ahead.
The man held a sword with cold light in his hand and came straight towards him.
When Ji Tianxing saw the black shadow, his brows suddenly furrowed, and cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"It was him! That night, he was the one who lured me out of the room and then framed me!"
Ji Tianxing instantly recognized that this warrior wearing black clothes and a mask was the man in black that night.
"You came just in time! I was just about to see who was going to deal with me!"
He shouted in his heart and secretly mobilized the true energy in his body, emitting a strong fighting spirit.
At the same time, the man in black rushed in front of Ji Tianxing, less than three meters away.
The man in black jumped up to a height of more than three meters, swung his sword and thrust out more than a dozen dazzling dark yellow sword lights, covering Ji Tianxing.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Suddenly, the night sky around Ji Tianxing was illuminated by the light of the sword, and many branches and grass leaves were crushed by the sharp sword energy.
At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to use the Flying Star Sword Technique he had just learned.
"Thousand Feather Blades!"
Ji Tianxing let out a murderous roar and suddenly fired three chopstick-long dark golden sword energy towards the man in black.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The golden sword energy's lightning-fast assassination attack collided with more than a dozen sword rays, and a crisp sword sound erupted.
In just one breath, the three golden sword energy struck hundreds of times, so fast that one could not see the trajectory and route of the sword energy.
The dozen or so dark yellow sword lights of the man in black were shattered by the sword energy on the spot, turning into little yellow lights and dissipating.
However, the power of Thousand Feather Blades is more than that, the three golden sword energies are still stabbing and attacking at a very fast speed.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the blink of an eye, the three sword energies attacked hundreds of times in succession.
The man in black was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
After a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound of impact, the man in black was stabbed dozens of times in the chest and abdomen by the sword energy. His body trembled continuously and he made a painful groan.
He fell from mid-air to the grass and rolled several times before getting up.
The black clothes on his chest and abdomen had been torn into pieces by the sword energy, revealing the golden soft armor underneath.
Fortunately, he was protected by the golden soft armor, otherwise he would have been stabbed into a sieve by the sword energy.
The man in black shouted angrily and waved his sword unwillingly to attack again.
But Ji Tianxing controlled three sword energies and stabbed hundreds of times in one breath. The large golden sword shadow surrounded the man in black.
Moreover, he used his sword energy to specifically stab the man in black's arms, face and legs, all parts that were not protected by soft armor.
The man in black swung his sword in a panic, but could only block the sword energy attacking his head.
After another crunching sound, the man in black's arms and legs were stabbed with more than a dozen bloody holes by the sword energy.
He was half-kneeling on the ground with his sword in both hands, breathing heavily.
Red blood flowed from more than a dozen wounds and sprinkled on the lush grass.
At the same time, Ji Tianxing's Thousand Feather Blades also ended, and three golden sword energies flew back to him and hung in the air.
"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me?"
He asked with a cold voice, and stepped closer to the man in black, exuding a strong murderous aura.
The man in black said nothing, turned around and ran away without hesitation, as fast as an arrow leaving the string, and got into the woods in the blink of an eye.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Ji Tianxing quickly ran after him and followed him into the woods.
However, it was dark at night and it was difficult to discern the direction in the woods.
The man in black has the strength of Tongxuan Realm, has practiced superb Qinggong, is also very familiar with the terrain, and can move through the woods extremely fast.
Ji Tianxing had just chased him a thousand meters away when he was thrown away by the man in black.
"Damn it! Let him escape again!"
In desperation, Ji Tianxing could only give up the pursuit and returned to the tree-lined path unwillingly.
He returned to the place where he was attacked, took down the two hidden weapons and throwing knives nailed to the tree, and searched around the area again.
Unfortunately, except for two hidden weapons and throwing knives, the man in black left no clues.
Ji Tianxing had no choice but to put away the two hidden weapons and flying knives, and hurried back to Fengyun Courtyard with a gloomy expression.
After returning to his residence, he didn't even think about having dinner. He sat under the lamp and carefully observed the two throwing knives.
However, the two flying knives are just common hidden weapons, with no identification and nothing special about them.
With just these two hidden weapons and flying knives, it was impossible for Ji Tianxing to find out the identity of the man in black.
He put away the throwing knife, frowning solemnly in thought.
"The man in black has the strength of Tongxuan Realm and is very familiar with the sect's terrain. He should be an inner disciple of our sect. He ambushed me halfway and obviously knows my whereabouts."
"But besides Ji Ling and Lu Mingyang, who else wants to kill me?"
"Fortunately, I just learned the Flying Star Sword Technique, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of the man in black, and I would probably be assassinated by him tonight."
"But even if I have mastered the Flying Star Sword Technique and can compete with Tongxuan Realm masters, I have not mastered Qinggong and cannot catch up with that man in black!"
"It seems that I have to find an advanced Qing Gong to practice as soon as possible. Next time the man in black comes to assassinate me, I can catch up with him and find out his identity!"
