Observing the traces of the fight on the ground, the footsteps of those experts were orderly and without any panic.
It was evident that they were all professionally trained individuals.
Li Yang arrived at the scene and saw that Murong Xue had her subordinates surround the area. She was personally searching for clues about these people at the site.
Upon seeing Li Yang, she quickly rushed over to him, "Li Yang, you're here. Hurry and take a look. Those people killed Situ Jue. Situ Jue is now unconscious, and I don't know if he can be saved."
"Don't worry, take me to see him first."
Li Yang calmly comforted her and followed Murong Xue to Situ Jue.
Situ Jue lay motionless in the car. There was a needle-shaped wound on his chest. Although the bleeding had stopped, it had not revived Situ Jue.
Li Yang grabbed Situ Jue's pulse to diagnose him, then flipped open his eyelids and checked his breathing. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Those people used hidden weapons to quickly seal Situ Jue's seven orifices, causing him to suffocate instantly. Moreover, the hidden weapons contained poison, which quickly entered his heart. He is completely dead," Li Yang explained.
"What? So there's no chance of saving him. These detestable scoundrels, I will definitely capture them all, skin them alive, and leave none of them."
Murong Xue was so angry that she slammed her palm on the car door, her heart filled with resentment.
Li Yang placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "You don't need to be angry. At least we've apprehended the great villain Situ Jue. You can now send people to seal all of Situ Jue's antique shops and quickly search his home."
"Perhaps his home still holds other secrets about the traitors from Sakura Country."
"You're right. Although this guy is dead, when he was alive, he must have colluded with the traitors from Sakura Country quite a bit. I'll send people to search immediately."
Murong Xue agreed and immediately dispatched her subordinates to Situ Jue's home.
Next, Murong Xue instructed them to keep a close eye on Tang Yilong, lest he be assassinated again. He might still have some unknown information, and he must be interrogated strictly upon their return.
As Li Yang escorted Murong Xue and her group into their car to leave, his peripheral vision suddenly swept across a rooftop not far away. He saw a dark figure flash by.
The next second, Li Yang immediately moved to pursue. In an instant, he leaped onto the rooftop. Looking down at the street below, he saw a Sakura Country expert dressed in ninja attire, carrying weapons and fleeing rapidly down a small alley.
Li Yang clenched his fists, thinking that this person must know the clues about the assassins who had just killed Situ Jue.
So he leaped down from mid-air, his footsteps swift as he pursued.
This was the only lead to find those traitors, and he could not afford to lose it.
Boom!
When Li Yang was less than half a meter away from the man, he suddenly unleashed a palm strike from behind, hitting the man squarely in the back.
The man cried out in pain and instantly fell to the ground, rolling several times before looking back at Li Yang and quickly assuming an offensive posture.
Li Yang landed steadily on his feet and said coldly, "Tell me, where is the stronghold of your Sakura Country traitors?"
"Hmph, your observation skills are not bad. I was so far away, and you still detected me. Unfortunately, you won't get any clues from me. If you want to know, go ask the King of Hell in the underworld."
As the words fell, the ninja expert instantly drew his sword and unleashed his full power, cleaving towards the ground. In a flash of lightning, a blade energy shot from the ground towards Li Yang.
Li Yang leaped into the air, appearing before the ninja expert in the blink of an eye, and began to exchange blows with him.
This ninja expert's moves were extremely swift, and his swordsmanship was exquisite. He unleashed dozens of consecutive sword techniques, flowing like water, each strike aimed at Li Yang's vital points.
Unfortunately, his internal energy was shallow, and his speed was slightly slower. Li Yang was able to easily dodge his moves every time.
After he had completed a set of sword techniques and was preparing to pull out hidden weapons to launch a surprise attack, Li Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed. Before the ninja could make a move, Li Yang instantly appeared before him and grabbed his wrist, twisting it and breaking it on the spot.
"Ah!"
The ninja expert let out a piercing scream, and the silver needle hidden weapon in his hand dropped to the ground.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me where your stronghold is? Who is your boss? What are you doing in Jiangcheng?" Li Yang held his vital throat and asked coldly.
"I don't know. If you have the guts, kill me. Even if I die, I won't betray our boss." The ninja expert endured the pain and said.
"Still won't talk? Falling into my hands, dying is a luxury for you."
As Li Yang spoke, he grabbed his other arm and twisted it with the same force. The sound of bones cracking echoed, and cold sweat poured down the ninja expert's forehead.
"The acupoints I've stimulated are all your death points. Every time you move, your muscles will atrophy faster, and the pain in your abdomen will double."
"When it reaches a certain stage, you will experience what it's like to have needles piercing your internal organs and your intestines being pulled like ropes, until all your meridians are broken."
After speaking, Li Yang added another finger strike to his thigh. Instantly, he felt his intestines in his stomach being violently pulled, as if they were about to be torn apart.
At the same time, he saw his muscles rapidly degenerating. His legs, which were originally normal, became as thick as his arms and continued to degenerate.
"No, don't torture me anymore, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
The ninja expert couldn't endure this pain for even a minute and immediately said to Li Yang, "Our boss is indeed Ku Teng. He is at Chongtian Pavilion, a building he bought years ago. The antique items we traded with Situ Jue before are all hidden there."
"He came to Jiangcheng this time for a treasure map. Legend has it that whoever finds the treasure map can obtain a batch of treasure from Shen Wansan. I've told you everything I know, can you let me go now?"
"Congratulations, you won't have to suffer anymore, and you won't experience any pain."
Li Yang said with a cold expression and immediately struck him on the head with a palm. His seven orifices bled instantly, and he died on the spot.
Li Yang would never let such evil villains go.
After dealing with the ninja, he immediately asked Qian Long to handle the body and then prepared to go to Chongtian Pavilion to find those Sakura Country experts.
"Hello, Bao Li Jie, what's up?"
Just as Li Yang was about to set off, Bao Baoli called him. On the phone, she told him the clues she had found.
