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

Chapter 285: The Cunning Swordsman of Lu

Adjutant Deqin, as the deputy of Golden Light Mage Sowin, is certainly not weak in combat ability.

In reality, within the wizard system, being a deputy was a highly risky position. After all, many deputies were obsessed with overthrowing their superiors, and those above them naturally wouldn't take it lightly. Once they saw the opportunity, they would completely eliminate the deputy and replace him with a weaker, less threatening one. Therefore, ordinary wizards simply couldn't handle the position of deputy.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the sword light, Deqin struck the Yin card and released the Yin ghost that was with him.

Hungry ghost!

The hungry ghosts in the southern border are different from those in the land country. They are extremely tall, long, and powerful, and are always in a state of extreme hunger and rage. They are the best choice to be used as meat shields to hold the line.

The moment the hungry ghost fell to the ground, he just happened to block the three incoming sword lights and blocked Deqin behind him tightly.

Deqin, who was hiding behind the hungry ghost, tapped the Yin card without hesitation, releasing two vengeful spirits again and ordered them to fly up quickly to find Sowin to report the news.

As soon as the two translucent vengeful spirits emerged, they were suddenly attracted by something and dragged away by an invisible force - Chen Lingyun had already emerged from behind the tree, holding the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner in her hand, and sucked the two vengeful spirits into the banner through the air.

Deqin was shocked when he saw this, and finally understood why there was so much silence around him: the sorcerers who had landed on the surface to search were all ambushed and killed by these Lu monks!

No matter how confident he was in his own strength, he would not be so arrogant as to think that he could fight ten people alone. He quickly urged the hungry ghosts to attack the surrounding environment frantically, hoping to create a large amount of smoke and dust and attract the attention of his companions above.

The hungry ghost was about to pound the ground, but his body suddenly became unable to move. It was Wang Haoran's Qingshi Changjian that emitted a green light, which directly fixed the hungry ghost.

"Hurry!" Wang Haoran said anxiously, "I can't hold on any longer!"

The Qingshi Changjian's ability to freeze an enemy's time is related to their strength and rank. The hungry ghost was tall and powerful, and the moment the azure light restrained his body, Wang Haoran felt his inner essence draining away like water, and he quickly notified the rest of the team.

But just staying still for a while was enough... Su Yunjin stared at the back of the hungry ghost, silently calculated the approximate distance in his mind, and used the secret technique of the Southern Dipper Galaxy.

The water of the Tianhe River gushed out in a large area. The hungry ghost was unmoved by his huge size, but Deqin was caught off guard and was directly washed out by the flood.

This Master Yin still wanted to resist stubbornly, but Zhao Yuanzhen took advantage of the opportunity and pierced his forehead with the White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin, causing him to die on the spot.

The hungry ghost, freed from the immobilization of the Qingshi Changjian, was slashed by the frantic swords of Lin Ning and Jiang Hong, instantly leaving it with skin and flesh torn and broken bones. It opened its mouth to roar, but Li Minghu's sword blast pierced through its mouth, piercing the back of its head, and its body fell helplessly to the ground.

Seeing that the hungry ghost had fallen to the ground and could not get up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, everyone implemented the strategy of "divide and attack" and "break the whole into pieces", which was to let the team members show up to lure the enemy, and then deliberately separate on the way to escape, inducing the enemy to divide their troops to chase, and then concentrate ambush firepower to harvest in batches - because the enemy's numerical advantage was greatly reduced after several divisions, it only took one or two rounds of combined sneak attacks to wipe out the enemy, which was much faster than the previous killing efficiency of "ten people against twenty people".

These folk sorcerers were all uneducated, with no formal academy education or specialized tactical training. Their only reliance was their numbers. Once they lost their numerical advantage, they would be easily slaughtered by the Lu Kingdom cultivators, who were more powerful individually.

However, the sorcerer who appeared just now was able to react in time when he was attacked. He suddenly released hungry ghosts to block in front of him, which surprised everyone... Fortunately, he was safe in the end.

"We should have finished the killing." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, turning to look at the team members, "Let's take a break?"

Li Minghu was already beginning to feel the strain and took another pill to restore his vitality. The others also looked exhausted. After all, even if they had won consecutive battles, after the constant killing, killing, and killing, even a fine steel sword would inevitably become blunt. The cultivator's tense spirit was not made of steel.

"No need to rest." Li Minghu was in the worst physical condition among the group, but his tactical style was the most radical. "Team Yan is still fighting the enemy up there. Let's move on."

"That's fine," Chen Lingyun said leisurely. The overall strategy they had agreed upon was very clear: to lure the enemy into splitting up and reducing the numerical disparity. The ground-based sorcerers had already been secretly wiped out, and with only about 300-400 remaining in the high-altitude area, their attention almost entirely focused on Yan Yu, now was the perfect time for a surprise attack.

Of course, a sneak attack doesn’t mean just charging in blindly, otherwise what’s the difference between you and these unscrupulous sorcerers?
Chen Lingyun led everyone to the edge of the battlefield, below a group of sorcerers, and said:
"Is Ningning ready?"

"Come on." Lin Ning said seriously.

These sorcerers were patrolling back and forth in the air, watching Yan Yu and Suo Wen fighting back and forth in the distance, when suddenly they heard screams from below.

Looking down, he saw a green sword light flying across the treetops in a panic, and five other sorcerers were chasing it closely from behind, shouting and cursing.

One of them suddenly looked up and shouted at them:

"Stop slacking off there! Come and help!"

This person spoke very standard Yangon dialect, and his appearance and clothing were no different from those of an ordinary sorcerer. No one suspected anything and just laughed and responded:

"I'm coming!"

The green sword light fell into the jungle again, and the five people followed suit. Then came the team of sorcerers that was originally patrolling in the sky. A dozen people chased the front troops and all sank into the forest and disappeared.

Died quietly in silence.

Looking at the corpses lying all over the place, the monks from Lu State also sighed.

The five sorcerers who had pretended to chase Lin Ning were the five ghosts from Chen Lingyun's banner. These five ghosts were proficient in various transformations and usually appeared as large dogs, but they could also transform into the human race of the Southern Territory with remarkable accuracy.

But what made them truly impeccable was that they were actually able to communicate with the other side - Lu Guogui couldn't do it. It was all thanks to Chen Lingyun's personal teaching and letting the five ghosts repeat it.

Deputy Captain Chen could actually speak more than one Southern Territory language... Who would have thought? It could only be said that the Zhenhai team was truly full of talented individuals, each one a hidden gem.

With the five ghosts who could speak the southern dialect and transform into southern people, the sorcerers in the sky no longer suspected him and were lured to land in the forest one after another, and then ambushed and killed.

The other sorcerers were watching Yan Yu and Suo Wen fighting, and didn't pay much attention to their companions gradually disappearing at the edge of the battlefield.

When the total number of people dropped to less than 200, it was Soe Win who first noticed something was wrong: Why did there seem to be fewer people?

wrong!

He was about to call everyone in the distance to gather, but he saw Yan Yu's attack suddenly intensify and his speed increased by more than a little.

The frontal pressure suddenly increased, and Suowen could only continue to use the Golden Light Dao to block the front of him and prevent the Huangting Sword from getting close to him.

Finding that he couldn't attack from the front, Yan Yu quickly turned around and launched high-speed attacks from the side and rear. He moved like lightning and came and went like the wind, leaving Suo Wen exhausted from saving his life and defending himself. He didn't even have a chance to release the ghost to report the news!

Only then did Soe Win finally realize that the other party had been letting him win from the very beginning!
The sorcerer, who came from a self-taught background, had no experience in fighting against the sword master of the Lu Kingdom, so the other party cunningly and deliberately withdrew his strength, making him mistakenly believe that he could fight him on equal terms.

But now that the other side was using all their strength, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. He had to fight to protect himself and had no time to give orders, while his subordinates in the distance had already become numb and careless, and were still watching the excitement, thinking that victory was in their grasp, completely unaware that a devastating disaster was approaching!
