The Qingdi City was dark and peaceful at night. Except for some places that were open at night, other buildings stood quietly in the night.

On the deserted street, there was no other movement except the occasional night breeze. No one noticed that a dark shadow was quietly moving in the night.

The reason why Shadow Master is called Shadow Master is because he has the ability to move in the shadows. He is good at hiding his aura, and as long as he is in the shadows, almost no one can detect him. With this ability, he has always served as Chi Xuan's protector and has killed countless people for Chi Xuan.

He never asked about Chi Xuan's arrangements. He did whatever Chi Xuan asked him to do. Although he was much stronger than Chi Xuan, Chi Xuan's brutal personality made him dare not disobey Chi Xuan's decision. He understood that sooner or later, Chi Xuan would be the master of Jiuyou Holy Land, and at that time, he would be able to rise to the top and become the powerful elder of Jiuyou Holy Land, second only to the emperor.

But if he dared to disobey any decision of Chi Xuan, he had no doubt that Chi Xuan would turn him into ashes without blinking an eye, leaving him no chance to reincarnate.

Tonight, Chi Xuan gave him another order, which was to assassinate Lin Xiaoran's fiancé Feng Shao. He had received this kind of order many times before, and the order he received today should be no different from usual.

I guess...

For some reason, Ying Lao suddenly felt a palpitation, a feeling he had never experienced before. As a cultivator, the higher the realm, the more sensitive he was to danger. He did not dare to underestimate this palpitation and observed his surroundings vigilantly. However, no matter how he investigated, he could not find the source of the palpitation.

Standing in the shadows, after thinking for a moment, Ying Lao suddenly said, "Friend, please show yourself!"

After a moment of silence, a voice came faintly: "Are you sure you want me to show up?"

Hearing this, Ying Lao could not help but frown. Just as he expected, someone was indeed watching him. However, when he tried to identify the other party by the direction of the voice, he found that the other party's voice was vague and seemed to be there and not there, and he could not detect the specific direction at all.

Ying Lao knew that he had met a strong enemy. Reason told him that retreating in time was the best option. But when he thought of Chi Xuan's method, he decided to take a gamble.

So he said in a cold tone: "Please show yourself, sir! Playing tricks is not in line with your status."

A faint sigh was heard: "If I show up, then things won't be easy to solve."

Old Ying sneered: "If you don't even dare to show up, then please leave immediately! The Nine Nether Holy Land is not something you can afford to offend!"

After a moment of silence, a sneer came: "Oh? Then I'd like to see it for myself."

This time, the opponent did not hide his position, and Shadow Master locked onto his position in an instant. Without thinking, he swung his hands, and a series of shadow blades flew out of his hands and shot towards the direction where the sound came from.

This was one of Shadow Master's ultimate moves. Countless people died under this move, including some who were stronger than him. However, to his surprise, after he threw out those shadow blades, they had no effect at all. He did not smell blood, nor did he hear any cries of pain. He quickly looked over, and saw a graceful woman quietly approaching.

He was unable to see the other person's appearance clearly for a moment, but the two beams of light, one long and one short, held in the other person's hands made his pupils shrink.

Not long after, the woman came out from the shadows. Ying Lao looked at her and said in a difficult tone: "It's you, Fairy Leng Yue!"

Leng Lingyue, the cold moon fairy, was once known as the "Cold Moon Sword Emperor". Her fame was earned entirely through fighting. And one of her most famous features is the cold moon twin swords in her hands.

The long sword in the right hand is called Wangyue, and the short sword in the left hand is called Shuoyue.

Leng Lingyue stopped and looked at the old man who was almost completely hidden in the darkness. She said calmly, "I'm out now. Now please let me see how the Jiuyou Holy Land is not to be trifled with!"

After a long silence, Ying Lao said, "If I leave now, can you pretend that nothing happened?"

Leng Lingyue shook her head and said, "I've already said it just now. If I show up, some things can't be easily solved."

Ying Lao felt bitter.

Although he was confident in his own strength, he was not sure that he could beat Leng Lingyue. Chi Xuan looked down on Leng Lingyue because he was ignorant and fearless. But Ying Lao knew Leng Lingyue's ability.

This is a tough character who just made his debut not long ago and was able to confront the leader of the Tianxin Sect head-on!

Ying Lao knew that he was going to fail today. At this point, the only thing he could do was to fight to the death.

As for the option of escaping, it didn't exist at all, because I had never heard of anyone escaping from Leng Lingyue's hands.

Ying Lao took a deep breath. The next moment, his entire figure disappeared into the darkness.

Leng Lingyue stayed where she was, motionless, as if she had no reaction at all.

However, in an instant, something unexpected happened!

Under the cover of darkness, shadow blades shot towards Leng Lingyue from all directions. Leng Lingyue snorted coldly, waved the moon-gazing long sword in her right hand, and a full moon seemed to appear behind her. Then, the moonlight suddenly shone, and a sound as dense as popping beans rang out. Countless shadow blades were swept by the moonlight and dissipated like snow meeting the sun.

At the same time, Leng Lingyue's left hand held the New Moon Dagger, which circled lightly at her fingertips. Then she swung her hand, and it drew an arc in the air and stabbed into the darkness.

Then, a scream was heard, and a figure stumbled out from the shadows.

Although it was only a brief fight, Ying Lao's body was already covered with knife marks. No one knew how Leng Lingyue did it.

Ying Lao gritted his teeth and hid in the darkness again. A moment later, a three-foot-long knife flashed from Leng Lingyue's right side and swept towards Leng Lingyue's neck.

Leng Lingyue's expression remained calm, and she swung her Moon-Watching Sword to block the attack.

The old shadow didn't hit him, but he didn't dare to fight any more, and immediately became invisible again. But in the blink of an eye, another shadow blade slashed at him. This time, the shadow blade slashed from the lower left behind Leng Lingyue, aiming directly at Leng Lingyue's slender waist, as if he wanted to cut Leng Lingyue in half with this blade.

But Leng Lingyue turned around lightly and easily dodged the attack. While dodging, she grabbed the New Moon Dagger with her backhand and slashed back!

Another faint scream was heard, but Ying Lao still did not show up, and attacked Leng Lingyue again from another angle.

The two of them fought dozens of times, one attacking and one defending. However, no matter where Ying Lao attacked from, Leng Lingyue easily blocked it. Not only that, Leng Lingyue also took advantage of the gaps between each time he switched attacks to counterattack.

It was clear that Ying Lao was the one who attacked, but after the fight, he was the one who was covered in wounds.

Leng Lingyue parried another knife attack. This time, Leng Lingyue seemed impatient and kicked back. With a muffled groan, a figure was kicked out from the shadows and flew more than ten meters before falling heavily to the ground.

Old Ying struggled to stand up again, and there was a hint of desolation in his eyes as he looked at Leng Lingyue.

He never expected that one day he would face such a desperate situation.

Leng Lingyue looked at Ying Lao with an indifferent expression, as if the fierce fight just now was not even a warm-up for her. She said indifferently: "If this is all you have, then you can only die here today."

After a moment of silence, Ying Lao asked bitterly, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Leng Lingyue snorted coldly, "I don't like that kid either, but who do you think you are, Jiuyou Holy Land? How dare you touch my Yunjian Pavilion's people?! I came here to prevent old guys like you from taking action. As long as I'm here, none of you old guys can touch him!"

Old Ying gritted his teeth and said, "But you can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime! Even if my Nine Nether Holy Land does not take action, there will be masters from other forces who will take action against him. You want to protect him? Can you do it?"

Leng Lingyue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll kill every one that comes. If I kill enough of them, the rest won't dare to come."

Mr. Ying was speechless.

"Okay, enough fun. Do you have any last words for your son? I can be merciful and help you pass them on." Leng Lingyue said with a smile.

Ying Lao couldn't help cursing in his heart. This is a murder! It's said to be a will, but in fact it's clear that he wants to take this opportunity to drag Chi Xuan into the water!

No wonder some people say that Leng Lingyue is not only extremely powerful, but also very meticulous!

Seeing that Ying Lao said nothing, Leng Lingyue showed disappointment on her face: "It seems that you have no last words. In that case, then you can get on your way!"

As he spoke, Leng Lingyue swung his long sword, and a beam of moonlight passed across Ying Lao's neck. Then, Ying Lao's head fell to the ground like a ripe fruit.

After killing Ying Lao, Leng Lingyue looked meaningfully in several directions, and then left leisurely.

In the darkness of the night, one could faintly hear whispers, but these were lost in the sound of the wind, like falling leaves, without causing a single ripple.

There was only a body with its head and body separated, lying quietly on the quiet and deserted street.
