C838 An Unknown Attack

In the blink of an eye, Ye Hongtian had already left Split-Cloud City for three days. Although this was a small world, its area was not much smaller than the four large regions.

Ye Hongtian did not have a specific plan for the three days of travel. He relied on the hazy feeling in his heart to continue.

Along the way, Ye Hongtian passed by a few small cities. After asking around in the city, he found out that he had already arrived at the easternmost part of the Tianyun Kingdom. Soon, he would be able to leave the territory of the Tianyun Kingdom.

Ever since he said goodbye to Bai Xueyan, this body seemed to have become much more relaxed. Although his strength wasn't as good as his own body, it felt no different from his own body.

And that hazy feeling in his heart only appeared after he bid farewell to Bai Xueyan. He guessed that if he followed this feeling, he would be able to find his original body.

"Earlier, that Thunder God said that after removing the obsession of this body, my original body was sent to my side. But this was too far away. How far would I have to go before I can find it?" Ye Hong Tian leaned against a small hill and complained.

He took out some dry food from the bag and took a sip of the water from the water bag. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance.

Ye Hongtian turned around and looked at the sound of horses galloping. He murmured, "Where did the horses come from? It seems to be a carriage. Are they on the run?"

After a while, a carriage pulled by two horses appeared in Ye Hongtian's sight. The driver of the carriage looked terrified, which made Ye Hongtian even more sure that it was a carriage that was running away.

He didn't care about the two carriages. Ye Hongtian was quietly eating his food on the side of the road. After a while, the carriage sped past him.

But not long after the carriage passed by him, a black-clothed martial artist suddenly appeared behind him, making Ye Hongtian's eyes widen.

This black-clothed martial artist held two daggers in his hands, clearly wanting to kill him. Fortunately, Ye Hongtian reacted quickly and hurriedly lowered his head to protect his head.

"That was close, that was close."

Ye Hongtian patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief. Then, he looked up at the black-clothed martial artist, his expression gradually turning cold.

He was a cultivator of the third level of the Void Origin Stage. Besides Yan Jiu, his cultivation was already considered the top in this small world. And it was definitely not a coincidence that this man had appeared here. If he had not come here to kill him... It had something to do with the carriage that had just passed by him.

"You're from that carriage just now?" Ye Hong Tian asked.

"So what?"

The black-clothed martial artist didn't deny it. In a flash, he arrived in front of Ye Hongtian, his two daggers stabbing towards Ye Hongtian's neck. This was yet another killing move.

Every strike of this person contained a thick killing intent that made Ye Hong Tian give up the idea of negotiating with this person. The Dragon Slaying Astral Sword instantly appeared in his hand. His body tilted upwards to dodge this person's twin daggers. The Dragon Slaying Astral Sword in his hand stabbed towards the black-clothed martial artist's heart at a strange angle.

If his speed could be a bit faster, this strike would absolutely be able to pierce through the black-clothed martial artist's heart. Unfortunately, because of this First Level Void Origin body, his Dragon Slaying Astral Sword only managed to cut through a bit of the black-clothed martial artist's clothes.

He had narrowly dodged Ye Hongtian's Dragon Slaying Astral Sword. The black-clothed martial artist had opened up some distance between him and Ye Hongtian. As he looked at the torn clothes on his chest, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"It's not too late to stop now. Although I'm only a First Level Void Essence Realm martial artist, it's still too late. But it might be different from those at the 1st level of the Void Origin Stage that you know. I have no enmity with you. There's no need to fight to the death. " Ye Hong Tian straightened his back and placed the Dragon Slaying Astral Sword behind his back as he spoke.

As if he felt that Ye Hongtian wasn't easy to deal with, a trace of hesitation flashed across the black-clothed martial artist's face. But then, he firmly said, "Since you have already seen the direction in which that person left, then I won't let you live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out a series of afterimages as he rushed towards Ye Hong Tian. The two daggers in his hands constantly transformed into claws, making Ye Hong Tian somewhat unable to grasp this person's attack style.

Ding! Gengci!

The moment this black-clothed martial artist arrived in front of him, Ye Hongtian grit his teeth and slashed out with the Dragon Slaying Astral Vault Sword, deflecting a dagger that stabbed towards his throat. But the other dagger didn't have time to block it. It could only bend its body and allow the dagger to cut across his shoulder.

The black-clothed martial artist wasn't prepared to stop after being struck by the dagger. The hand that had been knocked away gripped the dagger and stabbed back, its target being Ye Hongtian's skull.

"Thunder Shocking Step!"

Ye Hongtian used the Thunder Shocking Step without hesitation. Thunder fell from the sky, and in the next second, he arrived behind the black-clothed martial artist.

At this time, the black-clothed martial artist didn't even have time to react to what had happened. He only knew that Ye Hongtian had suddenly disappeared from in front of him. Then, he saw a long sword pierce through his heart, stabbing out from his chest.

"You! Puff!"0

Just as he was about to say something, he spat out a mouthful of blood. After struggling for a while, he fell to the ground.

As the black-clothed martial artist fell, Ye Hongtian plopped down onto the ground. Without the support of true essence, using the Thunder Shock Steps consumed a terrifying amount of physical strength. Even with his current body, he could only use it five times a day.

Moreover, he couldn't use it continuously. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it for long. He wouldn't even need the other side to attack him and he would die of exhaustion.

"I never imagined that after leaving Split-Cloud City, I would actually be in such a life-threatening situation. Luckily, Bai Xueyan gave me the Dragon Slaying Astral Heaven Sword, otherwise I might really have died here." Ye Hongtian panted as he spoke.

After he had almost recovered, Ye Hongtian pulled out the Dragon Slaying Astral Sword from the black-clothed martial artist's body. After rummaging through this person's heaven and earth pouch for a moment, his eyes widened as he took out a token from this person's heaven and earth pouch. A surprised expression appeared on his face.

This token had the word 'Qi' engraved on it. It was the token of Prime Minister Qi Residence of Split-Cloud City. This kind of token was not something that anyone could possess. It had to be a high-ranking official of Prime Minister Qi Residence or a trusted aide of Prime Minister Qi Nie.

And this black-clothed martial artist's cultivation was high. It was obvious that he was one of the personal bodyguards of Qi Nie. Qi Nie's personal bodyguards only served Qi Nie and even the Emperor could not mobilize them. If Qi Nie died, these personal bodyguards should have taken poison to commit suicide.

But now, a personal bodyguard of Qi Nie appeared here and this made Ye Hong Tian react. He turned his head and squinted his eyes to look into the distance. "Tch." He jumped onto the back of Xue Feng, who was behind him. He shook the reins of the horse and rode the Xue Feng towards the direction of the carriage that had just left.

"Old dog Qi Nie! I didn't think that you would still be alive. This gave me a chance to personally kill you. Maybe after you die, my body will be transported to my side like that Thunder God said!"
