Chapter 53: Thousand-Meter Pursuit and Kill

  A dark figure was flashing by quickly on a small road outside Blackstone City.

  Take a closer look, it's actually Haitian.

  At this time, he was running quickly towards Chaoyang Town. Since yesterday, after learning from Parina that the last appearance of Jiuxi Temple was in Chaoyang Town, Hai Tian couldn't sit still anymore.

  The Jiusi Temple is shrouded in mystery, and no one knows where its headquarters is located throughout the entire Soul Sword Continent. Even their members rarely show up, but everyone knows that the Jiusi Temple is the true ruler of the Soul Sword Continent.

  Looking at the flat road ahead, Hai Tian felt that his experience was completely opposite to this road, winding and tortuous, with rocks and potholes everywhere.

  He had originally wanted to cultivate well within his family and wait until he had higher strength before going out, but the disappearance of his family members left him with no peace.

  The two words "family" have undoubtedly occupied a great deal of weight in his heart.

  "Little Rain, Father, you must wait for me." Hai Tian clenched his fists and muttered silently.

  Mentioning Xiaoyu, Hai Tian couldn't help but think of his newly acknowledged younger brother Xiao Weihai. When he left in the morning, Weihai was still reluctant to part with him and asked to walk together.

  "Brother Tian, just let me go with you, okay? Don't worry, I absolutely won't hold you back." Wei Hai said coquettishly.

  "Little Hai, Tian Ge is going to look for his family's whereabouts. You haven't cultivated yet, and following me might put you in great danger. I also can't guarantee your safety." Hai Tian comforted him with a smile, but what he said was indeed the truth.

  If he were alone, as long as he wanted to run, no one could stop him, but with Weihai's trouble, it would be a big problem.

  "Wei He also advised beside: "Little Hai, don't be reckless. Master Shu is going to handle official business, not to have fun. You should still stay obediently by Grandfather's side and not run around everywhere."

  "No, Grandfather, I'm going out with Tian Ge. I've been cooped up here for too long." Wei Hai shouted stubbornly, "Tian Ge, didn't you say I haven't cultivated yet? Then teach me now! As long as I have the power to protect myself, I won't be a burden to you."

  "Now? I still have to rush on the road, but I don't have time to wait for you to practice slowly." Haitian tilted his head and shook it, seeing Xiaohai's gaze gradually dimming down. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "How about this, you start practicing with your grandfather first, and when I'm done with my business and come back, if I see that your practice is not bad, then next time I'll take you again."

  "Really?!" Xiaohai's eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed loudly, "Tiangge, is this true?"

  "Of course, with your grandfather as witness, I absolutely won't go back on my word. But I still want to remind you that if by the time I come back, you haven't become a formal swordsman yet, then I'm afraid I won't be taking you along." Haitian chuckled and patted Xiaohai's head, and for a moment, he seemed to see the little Xiu from back then.

  Xiao Hai patted his own chest confidently: "Don't worry, Tian Ge, I'll definitely get it done."

  Thinking back to Xiao Hai's initial appearance, Hai Tian couldn't help but smile. There are many similarities between Xiao Hai and Xiao Yu, if they were to meet, I believe they would become very good friends.

  Chaoyang Town is southwest of Heishi City, about a few dozen kilometers away, not too far. At Haitian's current speed, it won't take half a day to get there, and if he uses the Dance of the Sky or the Five Elements Escape Technique, I believe it will be even faster.

  But these two sword techniques consume too much of Haotian's sword energy, and he can't sustain such a high level of consumption. On the road, who knows when they'll encounter danger, so it's essential to keep his sword energy at its best state at all times.

  The sword consciousness continued to spread out, and the sea and sky clearly discovered several strands of sword consciousness, but their strength was not high, with the strongest one being only a three-star swordsman.

  Suddenly, Hai Tian felt three powerful sword auras rapidly approaching him. The owners of these three sword auras all had at least the strength of a five-star great swordsman or above.

  Haitian furrowed his brow, could it be that these three people were targeting him?

  His vigilance was heightened in his heart, while on the surface he pretended not to have noticed and continued to advance quickly.

  Suddenly a loud explosion came, and three powerful sword auras burst out from the surroundings of Haitian, each one was extremely powerful, it could be seen that they were the strongest blow of these three people!

  Feeling the danger approaching, Hai Tian coldly laughed and jumped up, narrowly avoiding the three sword auras' attack.

  The three sword auras that missed their target directly slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  At the same time, three black-clad men darted out from the woods on both sides of the road, leaping high and wielding their swords straight at Haitian's throat, seemingly intent on taking his life in one swift move.

  "You think you can kill me? Dream on!" Haitian sneered, his waist suddenly bending sharply downwards as three long swords flashed past his face.

  Haitian instantly took out his first sword, Huoyun Sword, from the storage ring.

  The sword body was instantly filled with majestic sword energy, and with a low growl, Haitian kicked open the three swords that were pressing down on his head, while using one hand to support himself on the ground, he fiercely kicked away the three people above him.

  Affected by the three kicks of Haitian, the three black-clothed men with veils on their faces simultaneously let out a muffled hum, and their bodies flipped over in mid-air before steadily landing on the ground.

  "It's no wonder you're a great swordsman, to receive such a heavy kick without any discomfort." Haitian held the Huoyun sword upside down, staring fiercely at the three black-clothed men in front of him, "What are you people after all?"

  The three of them looked at each other and suddenly shouted in unison: "We are here to take your life!"

  Before the words had fallen, three long swords flashing with cold light came again, and the surging sword spirit power on the sword body could already be felt from afar.

  Facing the attack of three great swordsmen, Haitian would not be foolish enough to resist head-on: "If you want to come and kill me, you should have investigated clearly first. With just the three of you, it's impossible to kill me."

  As he spoke, Haitian thought of directly diving into the ground to hide. Even if he was extremely powerful, it was impossible for him to deal with the simultaneous attacks of three great swordsmen who far surpassed him.

  However, Haitian's face suddenly changed greatly, and he found that he couldn't dive into the ground. The mud that was originally soft for him turned out to be harder than steel.

  In his haste, Hai Tian immediately switched to using the Golden Concealment Technique, but what shocked him was that even this technique didn't work at all now.

  Three-handled sword instrument has come, the majestic sword spirit power is pressing on the throat of the sea and sky.

  "Damn it!" Haitian cursed, not expecting his Five Elements Escape Technique to fail at this time. The opponent's attack had already arrived, and Haitian rolled on the ground, stumbling and dodging to get away.

  Before Haitian could get up, the three black-clad men launched another wave of attacks.

  "What the hell is going on?!" Haitian used Wood Concealment, Fire Concealment and Water Concealment again, using all five elements of concealment, but what was frightening was that none of them worked.

  "Haitian, your doomsday has arrived!" The three men in black uniforms simultaneously launched their final attack, aiming to kill Haitian with one blow.

  As he saw the opponent's sword approaching his throat, Hai Tian could no longer hide his secret. The sword spirit energy in his body was suddenly released, and a white semi-transparent aura suddenly appeared around his body.

  This aura supported Haitian and directly flew into the air, narrowly avoiding the nearly fatal blow from just now.

  "What's going on? Haitian actually flew up!" The three black-clad men on the ground shouted in shock, their intelligence had never said that Haitian could fly.

  After panting heavily in mid-air for a few moments, Hai Tian finally calmed down and discovered that his left arm had been slashed open at some point, with bright red blood slowly flowing out.

  "What kind of people are you? Why can't I use my teleportation?" After coming back to his senses, Hai Tian finally focused his gaze on the three black-clothed men who were shocked on the ground.

  "Haitian, are you using Flying Sword Technique?" The black-robed man in the middle asked instead of answering.

  "Of course, apart from flying sword techniques, what other method can make a six-star swordsman like me fly in the air?" Ha Tian said with a proud smile, while also secretly letting out a sigh of relief. If he hadn't just learned the Dance of the Empty Sky last night, he would probably have lost his life here today.

  "Just thinking about being unable to use teleportation makes Hai Tian feel increasingly headachy: 'I answered your question, so you should also answer mine. Why can't I cast teleportation?'"

  "We're not afraid to tell you, we've been ambushing on this road for a long time, and we've also applied special restrictions within a radius of one thousand meters. Your escape technique is indeed very powerful, but it's completely useless in this area." The black-clothed man asked again.

  It wasn't until then that Hai Tian suddenly realized, "No wonder my escape technique couldn't be used, and only the three of you great swordsmen were sent to kill me. If I didn't have my flying sword technique, I'm afraid I would have been killed by you."

  "Hmph, even if you can fly with your sword skills, what's the difference? Killing you will only be slightly more difficult, but it won't change our final outcome." The black-clothed man sneered.

  "Is that so? I wonder how long it takes for you to run a thousand meters?" Haotian suddenly smiled warmly, the smile on his face making one forget that they were enemies just before, and an outsider would think they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

  The words of Haitian stunned the three men in black, but at this moment, Haitian flew rapidly towards the west, disappearing from their sight in an instant, leaving behind a white trail.

  "Not good! We've been deceived, chase after him!" The three men in black reacted and immediately chased after Hai Tian in the direction he flew.

  Feeling the pursuit of the three people behind him, Hai Tian's own heart was also lifted to his throat.

  As long as he flew out of this kilometer range, Haitian could freely use his teleportation skill, and at that time, the three black-clothed men would never be able to catch up with him again.

  This last kilometer is the key for Haitian to escape from being hunted down!

  "Come on! If you've got what it takes, come and catch up with me!"
