Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 136 Comparing with Lin Ning

What a fast sword!

Seeing Lin Ning's green bamboo sword turn into a stream of light, the three sword masters in the Longxiong team, Ai Lu, Guo Feiyun and Liu Longtao, were slightly surprised.

The same goes for flying swords and divine movement techniques: the more true energy you give them, the greater their acceleration. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can control them.

If the sword cannot be controlled and the true energy is supplied too strongly, the flying sword will suddenly jump out of the control distance and lose the true energy supply from the sword immortal himself. The speed, flexibility and accuracy will be greatly reduced, which is counterproductive.

But looking at the sword light of the Green Bamboo Sword, which pierced through the three Snow Soldiers with a swift and precise arc, it was obvious that Lin Ning could indeed control this level of sword speed.

It seems that the prior estimate of her combat power was obviously underestimated... I can only say that it's a good thing that there is no team confrontation this time, otherwise I would definitely be given an unexpected big surprise.

"26, if it's a one-on-one fight, can you beat her?" Guo Feiyun asked in a low voice.

Ai Lu was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Why can't you beat him?"

"He's better at swordsmanship than you." Guo Feiyun began to fan the flames. "I'm afraid we'll be outmatched in a head-on fight."

"Then I can attack her from behind." Ai Lu sneered.

"You're such a jerk!" Guo Feiyun was stunned. "Second brother! Please calm down. I really can't take it anymore."

"That's enough, you two!" Liu Longtao couldn't stand it any longer and scolded, "If you want to act like a jerk, go outside and don't cause trouble for me here!"

"It's okay." Yan Yu said cheerfully, "Let's just treat it as a crosstalk."

Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin both covered their mouths and laughed in the back.

Seeing the two beautiful girls looking at them, Ai Lu and Guo Feiyun felt a little embarrassed... After all, they had said before that they wanted to sneak attack their teammates, and although it was just a joke, it was still a little embarrassing to be heard.

"Speaking of which," Yang Linhui suddenly said, "there's no point in letting a young lady go into battle alone, right?"

The two teams were in a cooperative relationship, so their contributions had to be equal. Strictly speaking, Ye Jun's energy consumption was the highest when maintaining the Xuanguang Ruler. Even if Lin Ning rushed out to fight, her energy consumption was actually lower than Ye Jun's.

But matters like this can't be judged solely on substance; appearances must also be considered. In the eyes of the Dingbei monks lagging behind, the sight of the men of the Longxiong team hiding behind their shields while the women of the Zhenhai team, playing away, charge forward is ultimately a bit unsightly... While the soldiers kept silent, they couldn't help but think: Our team is playing at home, so what's wrong with putting in a little extra effort? How stingy.

Liu Longtao pondered for a moment and said:

"Ai Lu, go out and help."

"Alright." Ai Lu immediately stepped out of the protective range of the Xuanguang Ruler. As the green and red sword in his hand swung, he killed several snow soldiers who were heading straight for Lin Ning. Then he said to Lin Ning with a smile, "Classmate Lin, I'll give you a hand. Do you mind?"

"I do mind." Lin Ning replied, "Why don't you go to the other side of the team to clear the enemies? I can handle them all here by myself. One more person won't improve the efficiency."

"Okay." Ai Lu was speechless for a moment, but what she said was indeed right, so he could only turn around and leave embarrassedly.

"26, can you do this?" Guo Feiyun laughed in the team, "Why are you just turning around and leaving?"

"She doesn't want my help." Ai Lu responded.

"Are you dissatisfied with your lack of ability?" Guo Feiyun continued to mock.

"go away."

The two sword immortals cleared the enemies on both sides of the team. As sword lights flew around them, thousands of troops were shattered, greatly reducing the consumption of Ye Jun's Xuan Guang Ruler.

"How is it?" Chen Lingyun stared at Ai Lu for a moment, then quietly asked Yan Yu in the channel.

"You speak first." Yan Yu said.

"My reaction speed isn't as fast as Lin Ning's," Chen Lingyun replied, "but it's accurate. Very precise. So even though I use fewer sword strikes, my killing efficiency is on par with Lin Ning."

"It's not accurate." Yan Yu corrected her, "It's that the angle and trajectory have been calculated. It's rare to meet a sword immortal who uses his brain."

"Like Li Minghu?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.

"There's still a gap between us." Yan Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Li Minghu is similar to Lin Ning. She's also a stream-of-consciousness swordsman, but her physical fitness isn't good enough to allow her to attack recklessly. That's why she's forced to use her brain more... Her calculation ability is something she's developed through practice."

"I see." Chen Lingyun understood. "Is it true that stream of consciousness and stream of calculation are the same in terms of superiority or inferiority? They are just different sword techniques, right?"

"That's right." Yan Yu replied, "It depends on the person. What suits you is the best."

"What about Jing Ye?" "Him?" Yan Yu chuckled, his emotions unclear. "We're discussing software, but he basically crushed them with hardware."

"Puff." The sarcasm in Chen Lingyun's laughter was more obvious. "So, even if you practice both magic and sword, you're not familiar with either magic or sword."

"It's probably because I'm too talented and strong." Yan Yu didn't deny it, "So I don't have the energy to delve into the technology."

The group quickly advanced to the middle of the mountain, where the terrain became flat. They saw three more bodies frozen to death in the snow in front of them.

After arriving at this location, the Wind Blade and Frost Sword Formation's attacks had become quite frequent. On average, there were about two waves of attacks per minute, each wave consisting of seven or eight Snow Soldiers riding the wind. The sound of whistling swords was everywhere, and it was impossible to tell the source of the sound.

Even with Lin Ning and Ai Lu constantly cleaning up on both sides, there would still be some fish that slipped through the net and broke through the defense line and slammed into the shield of Xuanguang Ruler... It can be seen that if Yan Yu had not had the foresight to suggest that Ye Jun activate the magic weapon, the Lu Kingdom team would have suffered casualties like the Korean monks.

"Could it be that they have all been killed by the formation before we arrived?" Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

"That would be great." Ye Jun agreed, "It saves us a lot of effort."

It's not that she is afraid of fighting, but there are too many dangerous factors in this secret realm, such as the Wind Blade and Frost Sword Formation, the enemy monks, and the gatekeepers.

If one of the three can be eliminated, the pressure on the cultivators of Lu State will be immediately reduced a lot.

"Tsk tsk." Yan Yu turned one of the bodies over with his foot, "Look at this."

"What happened?" Liu Longtao asked seriously, looking at the bloody wound on the corpse's throat. "Was this torn open by a sharp object?"

"Yes, but not with a sword." Yan Yu turned to Chen Lingyun and said, "Call the medical team."

Liu Longtao frowned slightly, unsure whether he should waste time here... but considering that Yan Yu didn't seem to be the type of person who would joke about serious matters, he acquiesced calmly.

Soon, the medical teams from the Zhendong Army and the Dingbei Army arrived.

Both sides took a short while to do a quick autopsy, and finally came to a conclusion that no one expected:

He died by having his throat ripped open by sharp claws.

"Is it a human or a beast?" Liu Longtao asked in surprise.

"I don't know." The medical team's answer was simple. "The preliminary autopsy concluded that the killer didn't leave any traces of tissue in the wound."

The variables increased again. Everyone had no choice but to secretly raise their vigilance and continue to use the magic of speed to hurry on their way.

"What do you think it is?" Chen Lingyun quietly approached Yan Yu, using the whistling wind as a cover, and asked softly, "Could it be a ghost?"

"The body's cervical vertebrae are slightly deformed," Yan Yu replied. "If a ghost possesses immense power, it will usually be larger in size and won't rely on ripping the throat to kill."

Chen Lingyun thought of the secret realm of ghosts in Fengdu County in the past. Whether it was the Bull-Headed Ghost or the Judge Ghost, their attacks would come directly on your forehead... They would definitely not be accurate enough to aim at your neck.

They will specifically aim to tear the throat and twist the cervical vertebrae in the process. First of all, they should be relatively small but fast enemies, and secondly, they should be very strong.

"Could it be a vampire?" Chen Lingyun sneered, "The kind from Twilight?"

"No, of course not." Yan Yu was immediately baffled. "This is Lu Country, where do vampires come from? And the kind you're talking about is a setting from modern literature... But the answer is pretty close."

"Similar to a vampire, but not a ghost." Chen Lingyun thought for a moment, "Zombie?"

"Yes," Yan Yu said, "People in Northeast China often say: There is a stele at the foot of Changbai Mountain."

"Cloud Top Palace, right?" Chen Lingyun laughed in surprise, "So what's buried inside? The King of Ten Thousand Slaves?"

"I guess it's some kind of corpse cultivation sect." Yan Yu shook his head and denied it. "Whether it's refining corpses from living people or refining souls through torture, it's essentially an inhumane path of cultivation. So this secret realm was probably tightly sealed in my previous life. I really don't have any memory of it."

"What a shame." Chen Lingyun smiled, "I'm actually very interested to know which is stronger, the corpse cultivator or the ghost cultivator."

"None of them work." Yan Yu said indifferently, "At this point in time, there is no zombie or ghost that can appear in the secret realm that can be called 'unsolvable'."

"When you say 'no,' you're comparing yourself to your own strength, right?" Chen Lingyun, already understanding his way of thinking, said with a smile, "How about comparing yourself to us?"

"It's indeed a bit difficult for you to deal with." Yan Yu said calmly.

If it is indeed a corpse cultivation school, then the difficulty of conquering this secret realm will probably be far greater than all the previous secret realms.
