This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Chapter 141 Black Robe Battles Jade Capital

The black robe, like a black lightning bolt, carried Xiao Xingchen at breakneck speed.

Even though the black-robed figure's strength was unfathomable, they still encountered many troubles in these deep mountains and forests.

When Xiao Xingchen first set foot in this place, he was just an ordinary person. Of course, he is no different from ordinary people now.

But this time was different from the first. As the black-robed figure released his powerful abilities, a tremendous pressure, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, descended from the sky and violently slammed the two of them back to the ground.

This sudden turn of events left both of them astonished. Xiao Xingchen was astonished because he had been to this place before, and even approached the ancestral land of the royal family, yet he had never sensed the presence of divine might here.

Moreover, that divine might just now was like an emperor reigning over the world, carrying an irresistible domineering aura, pressing down on their shoulders like Mount Tai crushing an egg, giving them no chance to leave the ground at all.

The man in the black robe was completely different; his body was surrounded by swirling black energy, like a surging wave, revealing his hostility for the first time.

He looked up at the sky and said solemnly, "This is the masterpiece of Yujingtian. This place indeed hides a shocking secret. It seems we came to the right place this time."

"Jade Capital Heaven?"

Xiao Xingchen was taken aback upon hearing this, wondering to himself how he could always find himself connected to this Jade Capital Heaven no matter where he went.

"Boy, it seems you haven't lied to me. Only Xiao Jianxian's secret could attract the attention of Yujing Heaven. The wrath of Heaven is unpredictable, and the ban on air travel is a trick they always use."

"What does this mean? Have you clashed with them before?"

"Hmph, it's not just that we've clashed before. The path of sacrifice we've taken is inherently incompatible with the Nine Heavens. This is not only a life-or-death struggle between us, but also a peak showdown between heaven and earth."

The man in black robes snorted coldly, his aura erupting like a volcano. Centered on his feet, a black dragon seemed to rise from the deepest hell, abruptly appearing behind him and letting out a deafening roar towards the sky.

"Watch me break through this insurmountable barrier and show you the power of sacrifice!"

Xiao Xingchen felt as if his body was being lifted up by a gentle breeze, and the sensation of particle separation surged back like a tide.

This time, he was like an observer under a microscope, taking in every detail.

To his astonishment, he discovered that his body was being eroded by a darkness as thick as ink. This darkness, like nimble venomous snakes, tightly coiled around every cell of his body before vanishing like smoke in an instant.

The black-robed figure gripped Xiao Xingchen tightly in one hand, its grip as sharp as an eagle's claw. With the other hand, he swung a sword towards the sky, like a black dragon soaring into the heavens, seemingly trying to break through the oppressive force that felt like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

When his body reassembled, he was already high in the sky, with a black dragon tightly coiled around him like a python. The divine might that had been there melted away like ice and snow with the appearance of the black dragon.

"Hmph, Jade Capital is nothing special. I'd like to see if you have the power to contend with this sacrifice."

The voice in the black robe seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying endless chill.

Black dragons swirled around his body like a whirlwind, and a black longsword appeared in his hand like lightning.

He swung his sword with the force of a storm, slashing fiercely forward towards the Tian Duan Canyon, which seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

"Black Dragon Slash!" A black light streaked across the sky like a meteor, cleaving through the void under the cover of darkness, rushing away like a black lightning bolt.

However, at that moment, a five-colored sword light suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, descending from the sky with unparalleled power.

"The Jade Capital Sword cuts through the yellow earth!" A furious shout echoed through the void, as loud as a thunderclap.

The man in the black robe trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.

"Damn it, how come there's a Jade Capital Sword here?"

The multicolored sword light fell like a meteorite, its dazzling light as bright as the sun, completely devouring the sword light unleashed by the Black Dragon Sword.

Countless multicolored sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, dense and overwhelming, as if to engulf the entire world.

For the first time, the man in black robes showed a look of panic. He and Xiao Xingchen flickered in the void, like a candle in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

In just one exchange, the two were once again forced to the ground by the overwhelming force.

Looking further into the distance, the five-colored sword light shone like a magnificent rainbow, and countless sword immortals rose into the air like locusts passing by, pointing their swords at the two of them.

Its momentum was like a tidal wave crashing in, sending chills down one's spine.

This scene shocked the man in black robes, and his face turned ashen.

"Boy, where exactly is this place? Why are there so many sword immortals here? Are you sure this place holds the secret of the Dawn Sword Immortal?"

It's no wonder the black-robed man lost his composure. He simply couldn't believe that there was a five-colored sword light belonging to Yujing Heaven here, and even more sword immortals behind the five-colored sword light. He even wondered if Yujing Heaven Immortal had personally descended to the mortal world.

Otherwise, why would the sword immortals here be so dazzling?

This was the first time Xiao Xingchen had witnessed such immense power here. No wonder the White Tiger had been torn to pieces; it turned out that the grand palace concealed so many experts.

However, this is for the best. After all, the goal is to frame the Black Robe, and without some experts, he would have found it difficult to plan such a scheme.

"These people must have received the inheritance of the Sword Immortal Xiao. That sword is the one used by the Sword Immortal Xiao in the past. Moreover, so many sword immortals are also proving that the secret of the Sword Immortal Xiao must have been obtained by these people."

"But aren't there just too many experts here?"

The man in the black robe frowned deeply.

"Didn't you say that the power of sacrifice is the strongest? Are you afraid of these sword immortals? I just noticed that many of them are only at the second or third level of the Heavenly Realm. They shouldn't be troublesome for you, right?"

Xiao Xingchen was right. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, he was all too familiar with the aura of a sword immortal. Behind the multicolored sword light, many young figures appeared and disappeared. These people were at most at the second or third level of the Heavenly Realm, a world apart from the black-robed figure.

"You're wrong. Even ants can kill an elephant. Besides, the Jade Capital Sword has been awakened by my sacrificial power. This is troublesome."

Perhaps sensing Xiao Xingchen's sharp, suspicious gaze, the man in black surprisingly offered an explanation.

"Sacrifice and Heaven are mortal enemies!"

After speaking, he touched Xiao Xingchen's forehead lightly like a ghost, and a jet-black dot instantly appeared on his body, as if it were a brand from hell.

"Now that I've come, how could I leave empty-handed? I'll leave the power of this sacrifice within you. You'd better not try to escape, because no matter where you run, as long as I have a thought, you will die. Just stay here and wait for my return."

The black-robed figure shot into the sky like a black lightning bolt, hurtling towards the numerous sword immortals.

As the power of the black robe surged, the multicolored sword light, which had been as dazzling as a jewel in the night, was swallowed up by the endless darkness for the first time, losing its former luster.

A deafening roar echoed from afar, signaling the imminent battle between the black-robed warriors and the ancestral land.

This was the first time Xiao Xingchen had witnessed a clash between the world's most powerful forces. The five-colored sword light was unstoppable, and each strike of the sword destroyed a mountain peak of Cangshan like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

The black robe was even more mysterious and unpredictable. His body was like twinkling starlight. Every time the five-colored sword light slashed towards him, his body would shatter like a phantom and then reassemble in another direction.

This bizarre supernatural power not only made Xiao Xingchen frown and stare intently at the black robe like a statue, but also shocked the many sword immortals above the ancestral land, leaving them frozen in place, unable to move.

The battle between the five-colored sword light and the black-robed figure seemed like a contest that did not belong to the human world, leaving them no room to intervene.

On the twelfth floor, the first floor, his eyes shone like stars. At this moment, he had no doubt that the black-robed man was performing the ritual he had dreamed of all his life.

Sacrifice is an extremely strange and elusive power, like the most mysterious star in the night sky, whose true form cannot be seen.

Just like heaven and earth, day and night, Jade Capital Sword and Sacrifice, they are all in a resolute confrontation. How could a force capable of contending with Jade Capital Sword be something of the mortal world?

"Keep a close eye on that man in black robes; if we can bring him under our control..."

Lou Yi gritted his teeth and said to the person next to him. As soon as he said this, the other landlords nodded in agreement.

In that instant, their years of painstaking planning finally saw a glimmer of hope. It was indeed the power of the sacrifice that even the Jade Capital Sword was helpless against. Once they had it, what in the world would they have to fear?

The fierce battle between the black-robed figure and the Jade Capital Sword caused the ground to tremble continuously in this deep mountain. The rampant sword energy seemed to be enraged, and after witnessing that the multicolored sword light could not harm the black-robed figure in the slightest, and that the black-robed figure even began to use sacrifice to corrode the Jade Capital Sword during the stalemate,

The Jade Capital Sword, which hung high on the ninth floor of the Nine Heavens Palace, finally flew out of the hall like an arrow released from a bow, as fast as lightning. Everyone only saw a flash of white light before their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a spray of blood splattered from the black-robed figure with a "thud."

"There's something strange about this sword!"

The black-robed figure swayed precariously, nearly cleaved in two by the sudden sword strike. Had it not been for the power of the ritual that alerted him, he would likely be decapitated by now.

His figure once again transformed into twinkling starlight, gazing into the distance at the nine-tiered palace in the canyon. At this point, he had no more doubts; this must be the hiding place of the Sword Immortal Xiao.

This place is like a treasure trove of sword immortals, and the inheritances of the nine great sword immortals stand out like brilliant stars among the young men and women, shining brightly.

Furthermore, there is the mysterious five-colored sword above the Jade Capital Heaven, which seems to be the most magnificent treasure in the world, radiating a dazzling light that captivates the soul.

Aside from the legendary Xiao Jianxian, who shocked the world back then, he couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, Xiao Jianxian was considered by their organization to be the closest to breaking through the Jade Capital Heaven.

Xiao Jianxian's rise was too sudden, and his disappearance too swift. The organization has suspected more than once that Xiao Jianxian is not alone, and that there must be a greater secret behind him. Once this secret is found, their organization will have the power to fight against the heavens.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that there was a hidden sacrifice here, like a giant beast sleeping in the abyss, which made people shudder.

For so many years, this was the first place that made him feel as if he were in a fog, unfathomable. Apart from Xiao Jianxian, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could have such abilities.

"He's trying to escape, let's chase him!"

Seeing the black-robed figure disappear like a ghost, Lou Yi was furious and flew away like an arrow, with the other immortals following closely behind.

The Third Elder, who had witnessed everything, was about to speak when the First Elder blocked his way like an impenetrable wall.

"Don't go. This man in black robes is unfathomable, like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness. We are helpless against him in the dark. Let's wait until dawn to make a plan!"
