The Nine Steps of Heaven was the name of this movement technique. There were a total of nine levels to the Nine Steps of Heaven. Every level was different. Li Xingyun had only just started from the first level.

When he had first met Ding Bao, he had doubted the movements of the shadow guard beside Ding Bao. In the end, he had even secretly observed him for a long time!

However, this movement technique was the strangest. It would change depending on how each person practiced their cultivation technique. Thus, even if two people practiced the Nine Steps of Heaven's Shadow as well, they would not be able to see each other while in stealth mode.

This was the supreme movement technique from his previous sect. Very few people could practice this movement technique. Even if they did, they could only learn the first three stages!

In reality, this movement technique was obtained from the Spirit Void Scripture. Li Xingyun was the personal disciple of Venerable Shengyan, so naturally he was fortunate enough to learn it!

At this moment, as he disappeared into the void, he soon arrived at the place where the light had shone. However, at this moment, there was nothing.

After carefully inspecting the place, Li Xingyun once again changed directions and chased after them. And this time, he was heading towards the east!

To the east was the most chaotic place in the Crippling Sun City. Moreover, because of the Heaven Breaking Mountain Range, the cultivators there were generally stronger.

Li Xingyun continuously advanced along with the faint killing intent in the air. As for where he was going, he completely ignored it. This was because he was confident in his own movement technique!

This kind of tracking continued for two hours. Finally, at some point, he stopped!

There were tombstones of various sizes around this unmarked cemetery, as well as piles of loess that had been dug up. Some of the bones had been dug out by wild dogs, making it look extremely cold.

After arriving at this place, Li Xingyun couldn't help but frown. He felt that it was a bit strange, so he wondered why Leng Yue's killer had come here.

He immediately stopped and carefully observed his surroundings.

Creak ?

When his foot landed, it was as if bones were crushed as he emitted an ear-piercing sound. However, there was not a single trace of him in the entire cemetery. His killing intent had also disappeared from this place. Could it be that he had gone from Heaven to Earth?

"Heaven and Earth?"

Suddenly, Li Xingyun's heart tightened as he quickly left his original position. At the same time, his movement technique had also been completely withdrawn, exposing his body!

Clang!

Just as he retreated, a small, shining dagger appeared where he had been standing.

"Such keen intuition!"

The other side did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he praised Si Yang.

As the voice faded, two figures walked out from the graves on both sides. The one who spoke was on the left!

Both of them had covered their faces. However, the one speaking on the left was wearing the usual gray robe while the one on the right was wearing a black night-attire. From this, it could be seen that the two of them were not in the same group.

"Did Scarlet Cloud send you?" Li Xingyun looked at the grey-robed man and asked.

The gray-robed man clearly hadn't expected Li Xingyun to reveal his identity so easily. A hint of panic flashed across his eyes.

When Li Xingyun saw this, he knew that he was right. As for the black-clothed man, he didn't ask because there was no need to ask. He was definitely Leng Yue's killer.

He ignored the grey-robed man's expression and asked curiously, "I find it strange. How did you two get together and how did you know I was in the North City?"

His actions tonight had been done without thinking, and when he came out, he was confident that no one would see him, let alone follow him. However, even if that was the case, the other party had still found him.

He looked at Li Xingyun with disdain and said, "If the elder deduced that you were injured today, perhaps due to unwillingness, you would definitely come out at night. However, we don't know where you are, so we contacted Qing Leng Yue and set up dozens of such traps in the entire city, and the north side of the city is just one of them!"

The Elder has long seen that you have a vengeful nature, so he has predicted that you will definitely follow after Qing Leng Yue once you see her. However, what makes us helpless is that even when you arrived, we did not know about you.

The grey-robed man was obviously proud, which was why he sounded so arrogant. However, the man in black was different. He had been silent the entire time, and it was clear that this was more in line with his identity as an assassin!

When Li Xingyun heard the other party's words, his heart stirred as well!

Previously, he had warned himself not to underestimate any of his enemies, but now that he had stepped into the enemy's trap, the enemy's attempt to lure him out of the cave was indeed a good move.

"This plan should be suggested by Xu Yuan, right? Maybe Chi Yun can only think of adding fuel to the fire, but he didn't think that I would be able to draw a snake out of its hole based on my personality, right? "

Li Xingyun didn't seem to be afraid. He was actually speaking frankly.

Seeing that he was not scared at all, the gray-robed man immediately became angry and shouted, "Kid, tonight, the unmarked cemetery will be your burial ground!"

"Ha ha!" Hearing that, Li Xingyun sneered and looked pitifully at the other person, "You guys can't stop me!"

As the sound of his voice faded, he disappeared into thin air once more. There wasn't even a trace of him!

The grey-robed person was not anxious in the slightest when he saw this scene, and he sneered repeatedly as he looked forward!

Sou sou sou ?

Right at this moment, a dozen or so figures suddenly appeared around them. They were all wearing the same color of night attire. It was obvious that they were all from the Cold Moon Sect.

These people were all in the Spirit Opening Realm, not as powerful as the man in black from before. Both the man and the grey-robed man were in the cyan realm.

Li Xingyun had disappeared into the darkness and was about to leave when he discovered that his surroundings were covered with fine ropes. There were also many small bells on the ropes; no matter where he broke through, he would cause a commotion and then be surrounded by these people at the first possible moment!

Seeing this, he finally understood the seriousness of the situation. Since the other party had used this move, then he must have taken his own ability into account, and his relationship with the two brothers had been revealed, exposing the superiority of his movement technique.

At this moment, he was hidden in front of a stone tablet, and in front of him was the grey-robed man. He was measuring the difference in strength between himself and the grey-robed man, and how confident he would be in his sneak attack!

Right now, the distance between the two was less than two zhang. With his speed, this distance was definitely sufficient to accomplish the task. Moreover, the man in black had already gone to the other side.

This was the moment!

Li Xingyun's emotions churned, and he made up his mind to no longer hesitate. With a flip of his palm, the tiny conical short sword that he had obtained from the killer earlier in the day appeared in his hand!

It had to be said that the weapon used to kill Qing Leng Yue was indeed handy. This cone-like short sword was one foot long and one foot wide. It was completely black, and was most suitable for assassinations and the like!

However, he could not understand why his opponent would release such a bright light when killing the target.

The light was good for hiding and killing, but from an outsider's point of view, it was useless!

At this moment, he was not an assassin, so he could not release the same kind of light. However, his movement technique could be hidden in the dark and act like a ghost, like a fish in water!

The grey-robed man seemed to be a bit nervous, his entire mind was focused on the surrounding bells, and the long blade in his hand was slightly trembling.

When Li Xingyun saw this person's state of mind waver, he knew that he was lucky this time around. The person he met didn't have much mental strength.

With this thought, he picked up a stone and threw it out!

Clank, clank ?

When the bell on the side was hit, it immediately rang, attracting everyone's attention. The gray-robed man did not hesitate to slash down towards that direction, however, just as he was about to raise his blade, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, followed by an ice-cold feeling assaulting his heart!

Li Xingyun retreated after his strike and continued to hide.

He did not attack the center of the back of the gray-robed man, because the most sensitive part of a person's body was the fatal part.

Other places were different, such as the abdomen!

This part of the body would usually cause one's movements to become sluggish. Moreover, it was not the most fatal part. No matter how sharp one's spiritual sense was, it would not be able to detect it.

"AHH!"

The grey-robed person seemed to be slow to react as he clutched his abdomen. Only after a long time did he finally let out a mournful howl.

Upon hearing his shout, the others immediately looked towards him. However, they did not lend a helping hand.

Most of the killers were cold-blooded. Even if their companions died, they would not question them, let alone a stranger.

Li Xingyun did not hold back in his attack. After his dagger stabbed into the gray-robed man's body, he had used his hidden strength to shatter his dantian. Thus, the gray-robed man was actually just a cripple right now. He was no longer a threat to him!

After attacking once again, Li Xingyun hid himself. His eyes constantly flickered with a sharp light. It was obvious that he was thinking of a countermeasure.

He was used to seeing blood when killing people, so naturally, he was not touched!

At this moment, the faint smell of blood permeated the air. The leader of the assassins, who seemed to be in the Netherworld Realm, finally spoke.

"Everyone spread out, contract the bell net!"

A hoarse voice rang out, and very quickly, those black clothed people began to move, narrowing the area of the encirclement!

As for the leader, he seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the gray-robed man's wound. His gaze quickly landed on the stone tablet, and he unhesitatingly shattered it with a single palm strike.

Bang!

The stone fragments flew in all directions, but there was not the slightest movement!

This kind of situation was not good for them. Assassins would usually hide in the dark to fight, but today, they also encountered the feeling of being assassinated.

To be honest, this kind of feeling was undoubtedly very aggrieved for them. However, there was nothing he could do right now. Li Xingyun's concealment technique was a natural enemy for them.

If he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, he would have to force out his opponent, and kill him with absolute strength. Fortunately, his opponent did not seem to be that strong!
