Chapter 56: Assassination
Nie Li explained the first part of the Heavenly Scar Body Cultivation Mantra to Nie Yu, and soon, Nie Yu found a place to start cultivating.
The night was getting darker and thicker, and from time to time some blackbirds flew by in the woods.
Nie Li suddenly looked into the distance vigilantly, only to see shadows in the woods on the edge of the cliff thousands of meters away, there seemed to be a few figures passing by, he frowned slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, a black shadow appeared out of thin air, and swept quickly towards the trees.
The demon spirit is released, and if it is not fused with the demon master's body, it will not be able to fight directly, but the demon spirit master can directly sense what the demon spirit sees and hears, and sometimes it is still very useful.
Ordinary demon spirits are released, and their breath is easy to be detected, but shadow demon spirits can hide their tracks, which is very suitable for spying on various situations, exploring the terrain, etc.
The Shadow Demon Spirit quickly detected several figures in the distance, and through the eyes of the Shadow Demon Spirit, Nie Li saw three people in black robes, hiding in the shade of the trees.
Nie Li controlled the shadow demon spirit to hide behind the tree, and his gaze pierced the night to find out where the three people were.
The three were chatting.
"This is the territory of the Scar family!"
"We have to be careful, there are still a few gold-level powerhouses in the Skymark Family! once we touch them, we will definitely die!"
"Are you sure that Nie Li and that kid lives in a dilapidated house down the mountain?"
"Of course, we've already investigated during the day! That kid's parents aren't cultivating, so we can kill them without us knowing!"
These people chatted, and through everything the shadow demon heard, Nie Li frowned slightly, are they from the Divine Family? It seems that these three people came here to attack him! But these three people should only be silver-level!
The voice of one of them was very familiar, and Nie Li suddenly remembered that it was Deacon Yunhua of the Dark Guild!
After encountering it once in Gulan City, Nie Li kept this person's voice firmly in his mind, fortunately, all of them were only silver-level! There were so many gold-level powerhouses in the entire Radiant City, and everyone had a special identity nameplate, so it was difficult for the gold-level powerhouses of the Dark Guild to sneak into the City of Radiance, so the strongest ones who came were only Deacon Yunhua and others from the Dark Guild.
Nie Li frowned slightly, the shadow demon spirit released a powerful perception, and vaguely, Nie Li felt the soul strength of these three silver-level powerhouses, one silver five-star, two silver three-star!
"It's a little difficult to deal with!" Nie Li frowned, if it is a silver one-star or two-star level, Nie Li can easily handle it, even a silver three-star martial artist, Nie Li can also find a way to deal with it, but if there is a silver five-star among the other party, it will be a little difficult.
In case these three people went to Nie Li's house, it would be a big trouble.
"Xiaoyu, you hurry up and tell the adults that a few people from the Dark Guild have been found in the woods in the back mountain!" Nie Li thought for a while and said to Nie Yu.
"People from the Dark Guild?" Nie Yu's eyes flashed with fear, she had heard adults talk about the horror of the Dark Guild when she was very young, "Then what should you do?" Brother Nie Li, let's go together!"
"I'm fine, I won't fight them head-on, I'm staring at them here, you hurry up and call your lord, these people from the Dark Guild have silver five-star, you must find a gold-level one!" Nie Li said, in order to guard against the attack of demon beasts, there will be a gold-level elder in the territory of the Tianji family who is responsible for patrolling and keeping vigil every day, as long as the night vigil elder is called!
"Xiaoyu, hurry up, we can't delay any longer!" Nie Li anxiously urged.
Nie Yu glanced at Nie Li worriedly, and finally nodded, and the petite figure flew away.
Seeing Nie Yu running away, Nie Li breathed a sigh of relief, he asked Nie Yu to find an adult, in addition to looking for a helper, he also wanted to break Nie Yu away, so that he could let go of his hands and feet!
Nie Li carefully hid his figure, slowly approaching the place where the three people were.
Although the strength of the opponent is relatively strong, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, so it is not impossible to fight.
Yun Hua took the other two silver and three-star warriors and carefully advanced among the trees.
"What's going on?" Deacon Yunhua suddenly felt something strange, as if something strange was peeking at him in the corner, although this feeling was very faint, so faint that there was nowhere to find the source of all this.
"What's the matter, Lord Deacon?" asked the two silver-star warriors next to him, confused.
"Could it be that my feelings are wrong?" Deacon Yunhua frowned, he let out a low snort, and a huge black demon tiger phantom appeared out of thin air, with a cold gaze, coldly scanning the surrounding dark woods.
Silver Five-Star Demon Spirit Master, Heavenly Star Black Tiger Demon Spirit!
This is even more difficult to deal with!Nie Li frowned, he hid in the dark shadows, holding his breath, and the shadow demon spirit was also hiding behind the tree and did not move.
Nie was fifty or sixty meters away from Deacon Yunhua, this Celestial Star Black Tiger was only silver-level, it was impossible to detect it so far, as for the Shadow Demon Spirit, it was only five meters away from Deacon Yunhua and the others, and its figure had completely vanished.
The pupils of the Heavenly Star Black Tiger emitted a blue light in the dark night, and after scanning around, he found nothing, and Deacon Yunhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe I'm too worried!"
Deacon Yunhua took back the Heavenly Star Black Tiger, and the demon spirit was exposed, and the breath was easily sensed by other demon spirit masters, so it was better to be careful.
"Let's wait here, Liu Qing, you go down and investigate first, and if you make sure that the patrol of the Skymark Family is not there, send us a signal!" Deacon Yunhua groaned slightly, this matter is still quite dangerous, and he is not willing to take the risk himself.
Liu Qing was a little depressed in his heart, thinking to himself why did he let me go, but he didn't dare to refute Deacon Yunhua's words, nodded yes, and then swept down the mountain.
Deacon Yunhua and another man named Liu Yan slowed down.
Seeing that Liu Qing in front of him was separated from Deacon Yunhua and Liu Yan, Nie Li raised his eyebrows slightly, this is a good opportunity!
It is still too difficult to deal with three people with Nie Li's strength, but against the last silver three-star martial artist, there is no suspense, although Liu Qing is two levels higher than Nie Li, but after all, he is a martial artist, and Nie Li is a demon spirit master!
Especially what Nie Li uses is the Shadow Demon Spirit, a demon spirit that he has never seen at all, and ordinary people don't know the characteristics of the Shadow Demon Demon Spirit at all!
Under Nie Li's manipulation, the shadow demon spirit turned into a black light, flew back, and quickly fused with Nie Li, and Nie Li's body continued to change.
Nie Li looked at Liu Qing not far away, the corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc, his mind moved, he disappeared and slowly approached Liu Qing.
"What's the matter?" After Liu Qing ran for hundreds of meters, he suddenly felt a strange aura, he stopped and looked around suspiciously.
In the stillness of the night, there was nothing but the rustling of the evening wind through the trees.
Is it because I am too careful, Liu Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued to walk forward, he slowed down, thinking in his heart that it would be okay to casually perfunctory Deacon Yunhua anyway, there is no need to take too much risk.
Nie Li held his breath and approached Liu Qing silently, with the concealment ability of the shadow demon spirit, it was difficult for ordinary people to detect his breath.
Five, three, two......
Liu Qing didn't know that Nie Li had already arrived behind him.
Suddenly, Liu Qing felt a killing intent lock on him, and a sense of crisis penetrated through the vest, he was startled, suddenly turned around, raised a kick and kicked out.
This kick didn't hit anything, and there was nothing behind it!
"What the hell is it?" Liu Qing was chilled, he obviously felt the killing intention, why did he turn around and find nothing?
Just when Liu Qing was stunned, beside him, a figure suddenly condensed, only to hear a "whoosh", a cold light flashed in the dark night, and crossed Liu Qing's neck.
Liu Qing had a blood mark on his neck, and streams of blood gushed out, he opened his mouth, didn't say anything, his eyes slowly dimmed, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".
Liu Qing didn't figure out what he was attacked by until he died, since he cultivated, there were not thousands of enemies, but hundreds of times, but he had never encountered such an attack.
But he never had a chance to figure it out again.
After Nie Li's blow was successful, his body slowly blurred again and hid again.
Nie Li lurked around Liu Qing's corpse, preparing for the next ambush.
For this first sneak attack, Nie Li was not very satisfied, before the attack, he was actually sensed by Liu Qing to kill the machine, although the sneak attack was successful in the end, but for Nie Li, it was still a failure.
A real assassin should be to kill the opponent with one blow without the other party reacting and unaware!
The Shadow Demon Spirit had just merged with Nie Li, and Nie Li's manipulation of the Shadow Demon's ability was not proficient, and it was normal for him to make mistakes. The first time he could do this, if he were someone else, he would already be very satisfied, but Nie Li was very strict with himself and strived to be perfect.
Nie Li quietly hid in the shadows, waiting patiently.
A faint smell of blood spread through the forest.
"What's going on?" Deacon Yunhua frowned, he keenly sensed that something was wrong, and flew forward, Liu Yan followed closely behind.
After flying forward for a distance, they saw Liu Qing's corpse on the ground, and their pupils couldn't help but contract violently.
"Someone!" Deacon Yunhua gasped and immediately became vigilant, the other party actually quietly killed a silver three-star martial artist not far from him, could it be that the other party was a gold-level existence?
Liu Yan next to him saw this scene, and suddenly felt a little frightened, Liu Qing ran out of such a distance, and was killed, without making a sound at all, how did the other party do it?
The two men slowly retreated together, back to back, warily inspecting the nearby jungle.
In the dark night, there were bursts of birdsong from time to time in the quiet jungle, and there was nothing as far as the eye could see, but there was a faint feeling of being targeted, and the cold hairs on the two of them stood up.
Seeing that Deacon Yunhua and Liu Yan didn't make any moves, Nie Li didn't make any moves, just waited quietly.
Anyway, it would be beneficial for him to continue to drag it out, and it wouldn't be long before Nie Yu could call the elders of the clan over.
Minutes ticked by.
As if sensing something wrong, Deacon Yunhua frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" He is a cautious person, since he has encountered an unexpected setback in this trip, then go back first, there is no need to take risks.
Liu Yan couldn't wait to leave, so he nodded immediately.
Deacon Yunhua swept up, ready to leave, and Liu Yan next to him was also ready to follow.
"If you want to leave, it's not that easy!" A cold glint flashed in Nie Li's eyes, and he suddenly appeared, wielding the sickle-shaped bone spur and slashing towards Liu Yan.
Nie Li had been lurking beside Liu Yan for a long time after he had become virtual, only five or six meters away from Liu Yan, and after the sudden outburst, the speed was extremely fast.
At the moment when Nie Li suddenly appeared, Liu Yan and Deacon Yunhua's pupils suddenly constricted.
"Who?!"
Someone lurked so close to them, and they didn't notice it for so long!
"Kill!" Nie Li's eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a cold killing intent, slashing at Liu Yan as fast as lightning.
Liu Yan snorted coldly, and his body suddenly burst out with Dao divine light, he had two silver-level arm guards on his body, he raised his arm guards to block, wanting to block Nie Li's attack, and at the same time kicked at Nie Li.
As a silver-level martial artist, Liu Yan can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles and extremely experienced in combat, and in this kind of critical situation, his reaction can not be described as unpleasant.
It's a pity that it wasn't an ordinary person who attacked him, but Nie Li, who fused with the shadow demon spirit!
Nie Li faced Liu Yan head-on, suddenly straightened his forearm, and the barb on the bone spur instantly moved to the back of Liu Yan's head, and with a slight hook, "poof", the barb pierced into the back of Liu Yan's head.
Liu Yan's pupils dilated instantly, and he couldn't understand until he died, why the guy in front of him had such a long arm and actually went around the back of his neck to attack.
It's just that in such an instant, Nie Li killed another one.
In terms of strength, Liu Yan is stronger than Nie Li, but Nie Li did not face Liu Yan head-on, and suddenly launched an attack, and at the same time, the way of attack was completely unexpected by Liu Yan, so fast, Liu Yan couldn't react at all, so he was attacked by Nie Li and killed with one blow!
