Chapter 22 Sword Qi
After Ji Tianxing left the Qingyun Palace, he walked out of the Lingyan Palace against the cool night wind and stepped onto the carriage parked by the road.
Without his command, the driver Lao Lei naturally understood, drove into the darkness, and returned to Jifu.
Ji Tianxing sat in the carriage, pulled a strip of cloth and simply bandaged the wound on his calf, then frowned and thought about what happened just now.
After a while, the carriage drove into a dark and dark bluestone road.
Although the path is a bit remote and there are only a few families nearby, this is the only way to return to Jifu from Lingyan Palace.
The path is covered with trees on both sides, and it looks dark and depressing in the night.
The carriage drove slowly, and only the sound of hooves could be heard in the night sky.
Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound rang out.
The coachman Lao Lei let out a muffled groan and rolled off the carriage and fell to the ground.
Ji Tianxing woke up instantly, immediately opened the curtain of the carriage, jumped off the carriage and rushed to the driver's side.
I saw that the driver Lao Lei lay motionless on the ground and was about to die.
There was a sharp arrow stuck in his chest, and blood poured out of the wound, staining his clothes.
Ji Tianxing's face became very gloomy, and cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
He knew that there were assassins in ambush here.
Sure enough, footsteps sounded immediately on the road ahead, and two figures in black were galloping.
Ji Tianxing rushed into the woods by the side of the road and ran wildly in the direction of Jifu.
The dense branches and leaves were knocked away by him, making a "crashing" sound.
The two vigorous figures also rushed over like a gust of wind, chasing into the woods without hesitation.
The two of them ran wildly with murderous aura, and the sword they held in their hands lit up with a cold light under the night.
Although Ji Tianxing ran desperately, his left calf was injured and he couldn't get up to speed at all.
After just a few breaths, the two vigorous figures chased after him and launched an attack with a low voice.
"Shh! Shh!"
The two cold swords were raised high and slashed towards Ji Tianxing's head at almost the same time.
The branches and leaves standing between the two killers and Ji Tianxing were instantly twisted into slag by the fierce sword energy and splashed around.
At a critical juncture, Ji Tianxing could only stop, holding the blood dragon sword in both hands, turned around and swept the sword to resist the opponent's assassination.
"Clang! Clang!"
The three swords collided violently, and a crisp metal symphony burst out.
The powerful impact force came from the Blood Dragon Sword, causing Ji Tianxing's arms to go numb, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He can instantly conclude that the other party is a warrior of the true essence realm.
Sure enough, when he took a closer look, he found that the swords of the two killers were covered with a faint layer of true yuan brilliance.
Judging from the red and yellow True Yuan Guanghua, the opponent should be the first and second level of the True Yuan Realm.
"The strength of the first and second levels of the real yuan realm also wants to assassinate me?"
"However, I'm not sure how many killers there are, I have to deal with it carefully!"
Ji Tianxing secretly sneered in his heart, and there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes.
He pretended to be invincible and continued to flee in a hurry.
The two masked killers dressed in black were really fooled, they rushed forward with all their might, and stabbed him in the back with all their strength.
Probably because they were too confident, or they were eager to kill Ji Tianxing and leave this place as soon as possible to avoid revealing their identities.
Both of them used a unique trick to assassinate Ji Tianxing, but ignored their own defenses, and the central door opened wide, revealing many flaws.
Just when the two were full of excitement and thought they could kill Ji Tianxing on the spot, they saw Ji Tianxing turn around abruptly, revealing a playful sneer.
"die!"
Ji Tianxing let out a murderous low voice, suddenly bent down and squatted down, narrowly avoiding the assassination of the two swords.
Both swords brushed past his head, only two inches apart, but they both failed.
Moreover, the chest and abdomen vital points of the two masked killers were also presented in front of him without defense.
Ji Tianxing was waiting for this moment!
He put down the blood dragon sword without hesitation, raised his palms and slapped the chests of the two killers with all his strength.
"Bang bang!"
In the muffled sound, his palms hit the two killers firmly.
Two dark golden sword qi shot out from his palm and pierced into the hearts of the two killers without hindrance.
The two masked killers suddenly shook their bodies, and their rushing footsteps stopped.
The two of them turned around, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they stared at Ji Tianxing, with a vague low voice in their mouths.
"You! You are not..."
"how can that be?!"
The eyes of the two were full of fear and anger, and they couldn't believe that they were defeated by a "three-level body training" waste.
Knowing that they would die, they were unwilling to wave their swords and stab Ji Tianxing in the forehead.
But Ji Tianxing had already grasped the Blood Dragon Sword, swept his sword out with a wave of his hand, and bounced their swords away.
The two killers took a few steps back, holding the tree weakly, blood pouring out of their mouths, soaking the mask.
The two of them couldn't say a word again, a "cluck" sound came from their throats, and the vitality in their eyes quickly disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them fell down softly and lay in the grass without making a sound.
Ji Tianxing hurriedly used his sword to lift their veils, and after seeing their appearance, he revealed a sneer as expected.
"Humph! Ling Yunfei, you still won't let me go!"
Because, he recognized one of the killers, the bodyguard who often followed Ling Yunfei's side.
He was worried that there were killers in ambush nearby, so he didn't dare to stay, turned around and continued to run away.
After passing through the dense woods, he fled to Jifu along the path.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Tianxing returned to Ji's residence without any risk, and he did not encounter an ambush on the way.
After returning to the room in Qingfeng Xiaoyuan, he asked Huan'er to bring the medicine box and carefully treat the sword wound on his calf.
After taking care of the injury, he let Huan'er retire to rest, while he entered the secret room and went back to practice.
Several events that happened tonight made him realize that the opponent couldn't wait to get rid of him.
Now not only can he not leave the city, but even the imperial city is not safe, and he will be ambushed by killers on the way home.
He couldn't help but wonder, would the next opponent send someone to sneak into Ji Mansion to assassinate him?
At this point, his desire to improve his strength became stronger.
"Cultivation! We must condense the sword embryo as soon as possible and return to the real Yuan realm!"
Ji Tianxing soon entered a state of cultivation, focusing on the way of swordsmanship and condensing new swordsmanship.
The night passed quickly.
In the early morning of the next day, he condensed two more sword qi and stored them in two acupoints in his body.
He recovered the strength of the twelve sword qi, and endured the pain like Ling Chi, trying to carry the sword qi to gather at Dantian.
The result was obvious, he failed again.
The twelve sword qi are stored in the twelve acupoints in his body, which are distributed on the backs of his hands, arms, shoulders and chest.
It is almost impossible to transport those sword qi to the dantian in the abdomen!
His weak meridians could not withstand the tearing and cutting of sword energy at all!
Ji Tianxing had no choice but to suspend his cultivation, and rested in the secret room with some frustration.
He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, thinking constantly in his mind, what went wrong?
Why did he try more than a dozen times after he practiced twelve sword qi, but still couldn't condense the sword embryo?
Could it be that something went wrong in cultivation? Or is the training method wrong?
