The night sky was full of stars, a crescent moon hung high above the willow treetops, and the cold wind howled, blowing the dry branches whirring, and even the shadows of the trees swayed.

In the thatched hall, a white moonlight spilled in through the window, and under the moon shadow of the window railing, a black figure loomed, but the two people who were still talking at night on the bed did not find the slightest difference.

"I don't know how Uncle Yao is doing now, I'm really worried." The immature child's voice that whispered in a low voice was none other than Nangong Jin.

"Don't worry, your Uncle Yao is excellent in light skills and has a shrewd mind, even if something happens, you can get out calmly." A cold and slightly warm low male voice comforted Nangong Jin.

"Hey...... Uncle Leng, when can we get out of here? I'm kind of missing Sister Huo'er. Nangong Jin's voice was a little lost, a little hopeful.

"We can't leave yet, we still have important things to do." Yan Lengfeng's tone was full of determination.

"What's the matter?"

"The sect master's weapons are still left at the bottom of the labyrinth, and we have to recruit troops here and stay there for a long time to prepare for the sect master's return."

"But didn't the Sect Master flee to the Akita Castle Empress to recuperate from his injuries? When will he come back? ”

"Soon, soon, the Sect Leader will soon be back and lead us to strangle the Iga Flying Bear!"

As soon as Yan Lengfeng finished speaking, a black knife shadow suddenly appeared at the head of the bed, and in an instant, he swung a knife and slashed directly at Yan Lengfeng's head.

However, there was no blood.

Where the blade goes, it is a cold and hard place.

Haruka Kitajima had already realized that his knife had slashed into a trap.

A pillow made of wood, cut in half, fell to the ground with a grunt, as if mocking the incompetence of the shinobi.

After a while, a lamp turned on, Yan Lengfeng stood in front of the table in a black robe, under the dim candlelight, his shadow flickered high and low, swaying, the ground was covered with a layer of fine golden sand, and Nangong Jin on the bed was completely hidden in Yan Lengfeng's tall shadow.

"You're still here." Yan Lengfeng looked directly at a ghost next to his shadow and said coldly.

"You know I'm coming?" In the small hut, the signature hoarse tone of the North Island Clear Sky came from all directions, and Nangong Jin couldn't stand the ugly howl, and a pair of small hands tightly covered his ears.

"I don't know when you'll come, but I'm sure you will!" Yan Lengfeng didn't care about the black shadow fluttering around, he just stood still in place, completely covering Nangong Jin with his own shadow.

"No wonder you're still here, it turns out that you covet the labyrinth artifact!" Kitajima was visibly angry when he said this, and his hoarse tone seemed to carry endless anger.

Yan Lengfeng sneered, brandished a black sickle in his hand and said casually: "It's originally ours, why covet it?" Listen, not only do we have to take back what belongs to us, but when the Sect Master returns, we also want the entire Mt. Fuji to surrender to our feet! ”

"Arrogance!" Beidao Qingtian roared angrily, and a black shadow suddenly appeared next to Yan Lengfeng's shadow, and the knife shadow quickly pulled out, which was a move to break through the chest and abdomen.

"Carving insect skills!" Yan Lengfeng was naturally not to be outdone, the black sickle in his hand danced quickly, discerning the direction of Beidao Qingtian's speech, as well as the chaotic footprints on the ground, and made a move "Crimson Moon", this knife, fast as lightning, momentum like a broken bamboo, a round of black moon descended, a knife shadow pierced the chest, only to hear two "snorts", the sound of the sword entering the flesh, Yan Lengfeng was stabbed in the chest, and Beidao Qingkong also suffered a barb on the back of his hand.

Beidao Qingtian's knife could no longer be pierced, he could feel the deep internal force like steel in Yan Lengfeng's chest to block, only to see the shadow retract the knife and turn around, immediately slash his left arm, turn into a black shadow again, fly out a few shadow shuriken, and float away.

Yan Lengfeng quickly dodged the shadow shuriken, looked at the bloody arm that suddenly fell from mid-air, and sighed: "It's a pity that this knife didn't hit his torso, otherwise he would definitely die." ”

Nangong Jin saw that the battle was over, hurriedly jumped out of bed, found a piece of white cloth and handed it to Yan Lengfeng, and asked with a concerned expression, "Uncle Leng, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a skin wound." Yan Lengfeng briefly treated the wound, touched Nangong Jin's little head, and continued: "You behaved very well tonight, you didn't show any panicked posture, and Beidao's arm also has your credit." ”

Just as Yan Lengfeng and the others were whispering, there was a sudden rush knock on the door outside the door, obviously someone in the village was aware of the fight in the cottage.

"Lord Black Butler, are you alright?" Knocking on the door was none other than Yuki Miyama.

"You come in first, Miyama Hall Master." Yan Lengfeng quickly sorted out his robe and sat down at the head of the bed.

Miyama Yuki heard Yan Lengfeng speak, hurriedly pushed the door in, pulled out his long knife and looked around, but only found a bloody broken arm on the ground.

"Lord Black Butler, what is this?" Yuki Miyama couldn't understand the situation a little.

"This is one of the arms of the North Island Clear Sky, Master Miyama, this arm will be handed over to you to deal with, and it can be regarded as helping you avenge the broken arm." Yan Lengfeng's tone was still cold, but his tone was full of unstoppable arrogance.

Yuki Miyama carefully picked up the broken arm that was bleeding black blood, and then looked at his empty left sleeve robe, only to see him "plop", then knelt on the ground, and thanked Yan Lengfeng: "Thank you, Lord Black Butler, for helping the villain avenge this great revenge!" ”

Yan Lengfeng waved his hand, motioned for him to stand up and speak, and then spoke: "Although your arm was not injured by the North Island Clear Sky, it has nothing to do with him, and in the future, waiting for the return of the Heavenly Demon King, what he North Island Clear Sky wants to leave behind is not just an arm!" ”

After Miyama Yuki thanked him again, he withdrew from the house with the broken arm, and Yan Lengfeng comforted Nangong Jin a few words, and soon turned off the lights and rested.

This night, in fact, Yan Lengfeng had expected it.

Since Yao Shuang left, he has been on guard against the assassination of Kitajima Clear Sky all the time, in fact, when it comes to the reason, it is nothing more than his open recruitment outside Huoli Town to strengthen his body, and he must have been worried about Iga Flying Bear, the so-called "Outer Heaven Plan" for forging the Yaqi Night Demon Armor has been leaked, Iga Flying Bear will never allow it to be destroyed again, and Kitajima Clear Sky is proficient in assassination, so he naturally can't wait to assassinate Yan Lengfeng, and tonight's results are also the result of Yan Lengfeng's careful preparation for a long time.

Needless to say, Yan Lengfeng's martial arts are strong, when he dived outside the house in the clear sky of Beidao, the sound of the small friction of sand had already woken up the vigilant Yan Lengfeng, and soon he woke up Nangong Jin in his sleep, signaling him to silence, while he hid in the quilt, made the pillow into his head, and pretended to chat with Nangong Jin, and the content of the chat was actually decided.

The purpose of the clear sky in the North Island is nothing more than two points.

First, kill Yan Lengfeng; Second, determine Yan Yunxing's life and death. Yao Shuang had already eavesdropped on the "Extraterrestrial Plan" before, for the sake of Nan Huatian's life, Yan Yunxing had to live, and he had to live outside the labyrinth, and he must not let the North Island Clear Sky know where Yan Yunxing really was, so the conversation between the two revolved around Yan Yunxing's life and death from beginning to end, which was also to confuse the North Island Clear Sky and prevent him from disturbing Yan Yunxing under the stone, and by the way, Nan Huatian's lie was fulfilled and his life was saved.

As for the only one-knife duel between the two, although Yan Lengfeng guessed the true location of the North Island Clear Sky with the footprints on the ground, but the void knife is inevitably still difficult to hit, the poison gas invades, and it is already a very good result to be able to abolish one of the arms of the North Island, after this battle, the North Island will never underestimate the name of the black deacon, and he can also concentrate on the development with peace of mind, if Iga Feixiong leads the troops to attack, he will flee the village, if he occupies the Huoyun Village, he will go to harass the rich merchants and giants in the two towns of Shizuoka and Huoli, so fight guerrilla warfare, It should also be able to hold out until Silver Fire City returns with its troops, or when Yan Yunxing is released from prison.

This is Yan Lengfeng's plan, even if you are still breathing under your nose, you must always remember the existence of Dong Ling's spiritual flow, and do a good job in the role of "a thorn in the flesh in the eye", which is the biggest success of the black butler.

……

The black butler on this side has a clear sky, and the red butler on the other side has also ushered in the biggest test in his life, that is, as a young leader of the wind ninja clan, he will guide the promotion path of the shadow ninja juniors.

In fact, the life of the Six Dao Ninja is the life of the promotion to the third-order path.

The first order, known as the "Trial of the Ninja". In short, it is the young children of the Six Paths Ninja who are learning ninjutsu for the first time, taking the Shadow Ninja as an example, as long as you can pass the test of the first order of Stonehenge, it proves that you have learned the skin of the "Shinto Shadow Technique", and from then on you have officially become a member of the Shadow Ninja. The other ninja paths are much the same.

The second order, known as the "Trial of Assassination". It's still Stonehenge, but it's just more difficult, and if it is successfully passed, it proves that the "Shinto Shadow Technique" has been completed and can become an assassination ninja in the ninja clan. Other ninja paths are just different names, such as the "Trial of the Herald" of the Wind Ninja, the "Trial of the Phantom Rain" of the Water Ninja, and so on.

The third order is known as the "Elder's Trial". It is also Stonehenge, which has also increased the difficulty, and it can be regarded as the likes of the elders, and if it passes successfully, it represents the success of cultivating the "Supreme Shadow Seal", but this "Supreme Technique" is an insurmountable gap in the Six Paths of Ninja, and only a few people may master this advanced and profound seal technique, and within the Shadow Ninja, only the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Four Elders have successfully passed this test. It is conceivable the difficulty of this "supreme technique", on the other hand, Kato Junichi was also surprised by the mysterious middle-aged man's knowledge of the "Supreme Wind Seal", because of the difficulty of the cultivation of the "supreme technique", and the whole leopard can be seen at a glance.

What Yao Shuang is going to visit today is the first trial of the Shadow Ninja, and most of the participants are the younger generation of the Shadow Ninja, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls.

On this day, the day was bright and the sun was rising, Yao Shuang was woken up by the attendants outside the door, and after grooming and taking care of his face, he went to the direction of Stonehenge under the leadership of the attendants. Questioning tentatively all the way, Yao Shuang roughly understood the function of Stonehenge that he saw the night before, and although he was curious about how Stonehenge operated, he still wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

All the way through the garden hunting ground, through the martial arts arena and the light theater, I also saw many young ninja children in a hurry, all of them went to the direction of Stonehenge in the south, Yao Shuang didn't think about it anymore, and soon came to the periphery of Stonehenge.

A new high platform was built on the periphery of Stonehenge today, and there were eight benches in front of the high platform, and a long table in front of the bench was placed with all kinds of fruits and food, and in the center sat three gray-haired masked ninjas, one of whom Yao Shuang knew, was the elder on the right who he saw on the first day.

At this time, many masked disciples of the Shadow Ninja clan had gathered next to Stonehenge, and in the crowd, Beidao Youxiang obviously saw Yao Shuang's figure, and soon invited him to sit on the high platform, and after a while, the eight benches were full of people, and Beidao Youxiang whispered to Yao Shuang one by one from east to west.

The easternmost side is the disciple of the Eight Elders, Yao Shuang also happens to know this person, it is the Kitajima Jiesuchuan who was drunk that night, Jiesuchuan saw Yao Shuang looking at him, so he smiled and waved his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.

Next to Kitajima Susugawa is a young man named Kitajima Ban, who is the proud disciple of the Great Elder, and after Kitajima Ban is the Ten Elders, the Eighth Elder, and the Seventh Elder, the one Yao Shuang knows is the Eighth Elder, and after the Seven Elders, it is Kitajima Yuzhen, Kitajima Yuxiang and Yao Shuang himself.

After listening to Kitajima Youxiang's introduction, Yao Shuang already had a general understanding in her heart, and the three forces within the shadow ninja had all surfaced.
