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

Chapter 641: Smart Ningning has brains

Lin Ning has clearly realized that the enemy opposite is almost a combination of a general and a magician.

He can summon a large number of "summoned creatures" made of blood, each of which can serve as his eyes and ears, so that he can sense the enemy's position at a very long distance; at the same time, he also possesses extremely powerful large-scale spells.

The combination of the two is equivalent to locking your position at a very long distance, and then launching continuous bombing strikes.

In fact, this multi-professional integration model is a common phenomenon among ordinary transcendents. After all, they rarely have trustworthy partners and lack the funds to continuously explore and deepen their expertise in a specific field. They can only pursue a well-rounded development path, capable of carrying and fighting, and knowing a little about everything - which makes Lin Ning feel like facing a hedgehog, not knowing where to start.

If Lin Ning was still feeling a little tricky, then Yishena on the opposite side had already started to drive Hong Wen crazy.

Civilian transcendents have always been of mixed quality. More accurately, the vast majority are trash, lacking resources, opportunities, or development. Therefore, Yishena's path to godhood wasn't exactly smooth, but it was built on his confidence from countless defeats. He had never seen anyone as incredibly mobile as Lin Ning.

Every time a carpet bombing was launched, I thought the other party was doomed, but the next second I saw them calmly perform ghostly footwork and escape from the gaps between various thunders, explosions and shock waves.

It is said that the Dinghai General Yan Yu is best at his ghostly footwork that is said to be able to dodge all attacks, so Yishena became more and more certain of her guess that "she is Yan Yu". Just as the ascetics in the rear also rushed over, she immediately ordered her men to encircle and intercept her.

Lin Ning scanned the area with his spiritual sense unwillingly, but still couldn't find Yishen's location. Instead, he saw more and more ascetic monks rushing over... Well, there was really no fighting this time.

"I told you to run away." The other party sent a voice message to taunt her again, "It's hard to run away now."

"Shut up." Lin Ning quickly glanced around, his mind flashing with ideas as he quickly mapped out several routes to the city's central water tower.

"What are you hesitating about? Go to the roof!" the other party said again.

"Why?" Lin Ning didn't believe it completely, but just walked quickly in the alley and asked quickly.

"If you walk on the ground, you'll easily be caught by those Asuras lurking in the shadows," the other party said. "Walking on the rooftop will expose you to the pursuers behind you, but with the Dividing Cloud Bagua Step, you won't have to worry about being held back. On the contrary, if they chase you along the ground, you'll have to deal with ambushes all around."

Lin Ning's thoughts raced as he realized that what the other party said made sense.

Although walking on the ground can use various buildings as cover to reduce the pursuit of the ascetics from the rear, you will still be distracted by the mutants lying in ambush nearby, and the complex structure of the alley itself will also affect the efficiency of movement.

With a flick of her feet, she instantly broke free from gravity and reached the roof, jumping and running on the tops of different buildings.

Contrary to Lin Ning's expectations, she also encountered mutant attacks on the rooftop. They hid behind the windows of the second floor, suddenly leaning out to grab people when they passed by, or simply wielding huge, long, barbed weapons to break through the wall and chop at Lin Ning.

However, his own Fenyun Bagua Step can better take advantage of high mobility in the rooftop environment, and he is not afraid of these attacks and ambushes at all!

Lin Ning had mastered her footwork to the point where it was so natural that she didn't even need to focus on it. She'd set a movement path in her mind, and her feet would automatically follow the steps of the Eight Diagrams, flinging numerous attacks behind her without slowing down in the slightest.

Yishena was closely monitoring from a distance and soon realized that it would be impossible to catch up if he continued to chase like this. He quickly ordered two teams to make a detour from the left and right sides and intercept Lin Ning in front.

The left detachment quickly reported: We are being held back by the Ashura lying in ambush nearby!
Isena was speechless and could only throw out the green trident spear, summoning a large amount of lightning to bombard the front road for the left team, and kill all the Asuras who blocked the way.

Before I could catch my breath, news came from the right detachment:

We are lost! The target location has been lost!

Yishena was so angry that he went crazy and began to suspect that these men were the reincarnation of wild boars. He could only quickly pour out the blood cup, turning countless blood into rivers, guiding the lost right-hand team to chase in the direction of Lin Ning.

Lin Ning ran for a long time and found that the attacks from the rear were becoming less and less frequent, so she became alert.

Why did the pursuit suddenly stop? Are they trying to flank me, outflanking me, and intercept me from the front?

"Hello." Lin Ning asked in her heart.

"I'm not calling you hello," the other person said. "I'm an ancient immortal trapped in a mirror..."

"Okay, okay, Fairy in the Mirror," Lin Ning said, "You've been staying here the whole time, right? Then tell me: is that tall tower in the center the only way out of here?"

"No," said the Fairy in the Mirror, "but for you, the only way is to go through this tower, then go up the aqueduct, and finally leave from the underground river exit."

"So the exit is indeed the entrance to the underground river high up." Lin Ning immediately understood. "The reason we can only take the aqueduct is because there's a ban on flying here, and at my current level of cultivation, I can't break through this ban."

"That's right." The Fairy in the Mirror said approvingly.

"In that case, this should be the only route they can take." Lin Ning began to think.

"Why don't you give up..." The Fairy in the Mirror felt helpless, thinking to himself, you woman don't look like a murderous star, so why is your fighting style so radical and aggressive?
However, as a sword immortal, one does need this kind of stubborn determination to move forward without giving in...

However, Yishena carried out long-range bombing and dispatched troops from behind. Finally, he commanded the army to chase Lin Ning. They arrived at the central water tower of the city and began to enter the tower in batches to pursue.

Lin Ning, using the tower's internal structure, engaged in a difficult, seesaw battle with the Indian monks. Her reaction speed was incredibly fast, and her swordsmanship was sharp and precise. Her opponents would often be pierced and killed by the Green Bamboo Sword the moment they emerged from the stairwell.

There are three major schools of ascetics, with the Shiva ascetics renowned for their destructive spells. Seeing the enemy's impressive swordsmanship resulting in countless casualties, the ascetics shouted and called for the Shiva monks to the bottom of the stairs, but they didn't even show their heads, instead hurling various area-of-effect spells at the upper floors.

After hammering away for a long time, there was finally no response from the upstairs. A few ascetic monks bravely climbed the stairs to the center of the tower. Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, their vision was completely filled with sword light. It turned out to be Lin Ning, who had pretended to sheath his sword and go upstairs, but secretly activated invisibility. As soon as the spell stopped, he quietly went downstairs and found a corner to hide.

At this moment, they suddenly attacked, instantly killing all four ascetics and separating their bodies. Seeing this, the people below hurriedly cast a large-scale spell, but they only saw Lin Ning take a split cloud eight trigrams step, and after a few swaying steps, he flashed to the stairs and then flashed upstairs again.

The ascetics on the lower floors looked at each other in bewilderment. After a quarrel, they sent a scapegoat upstairs. The scapegoat climbed up the stairs tremblingly, launched a scattering attack, and after confirming that no one was hiding in ambush, he hurriedly called for the people below to come up.

As a result, a sword light floated down from the stairs, instantly piercing the back of the unlucky guy, and then turned around calmly under the impact of many spells and flew back to the upper floor.

This time, no one dared to go upstairs. When the news reached Yishena in the back, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he felt completely powerless, as if he couldn't lead this bunch of useless people.

Such a clumsy and mediocre performance was understandable. These civilian transcendents were primarily descended from the common people of India, inheriting the country's low literacy rate and low level of education. Many even relied on their sect's teachers to orally teach them how to cultivate. They couldn't even understand Taoist texts, let alone basic military skills and the ability to judge the situation... In these areas, they could easily be beaten by cultivators from the Land Kingdom.

The reason why Lin Ning dared to stay here instead of thinking about withdrawing was because he vaguely realized that the individual quality of these enemies was completely inadequate.

I can kill them all here!
"Don't be silly." The Fairy in the Mirror intervened, pouring cold water on her. "These are probably all outer disciples of the sect. As many die as they can be replaced, the higher-ups won't feel bad at all. If you waste your true essence here, you'll be doomed if you get caught in a major battle later."

"Outer disciple?" Lin Ning asked doubtfully.

"What? Now you don't call them outer disciples anymore?" The Immortal in the Mirror asked her back.

"I understand what you mean." Lin Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, what really determines victory or defeat on the battlefield is actually directly beheading the opposing commander like the captain did. My ability is still far from enough.

Ishna soon issued a new order: all teams were equipped with at least three Shiva monks, who were to cast spells to cleanse the ground before going upstairs and cooperate with other ascetics to climb the stairs; every time the team climbed a floor, they would continue to cast spells upstairs, and they were not allowed to stop throughout the process.

It sounds like a waste of extravagant energy, but there are so many ascetics here that it is more than enough for them to take turns to rest and recover their mana.

The enemy seemed to have finally run out of options. They all climbed to the upper levels without encountering any further obstacles.

Yishena sneered inwardly, and suddenly received a report from the front line: the enemy had left the top floor of the water tower and was rapidly advancing along the top of the aqueduct, rushing towards the exit of the underground river at the end!
Oh no, General Dinghai is about to escape!
Following Ishena's order, the ascetics in the tower rushed to the aqueduct together, chasing and killing the enemy to block their retreat; Ishena himself threw out the Linga Trident Spear again, bombarding them from the air with thunder and lightning, showing his firm determination to keep Lin Ning.

The aqueduct wasn't spacious, leaving little room for maneuvering. With the storm's thunder blocking her path, Lin Ning's progress was indeed hampered. The pursuers behind her seized the opportunity to speed up their pursuit, and just as they were about to catch her, Lin Ning suddenly enveloped herself in sword light and leaped toward the side of the aqueduct!

Yishena immediately activated the Blood-Containing Tribulation Cup, forming a large sea of blood right below Lin Ning, intending to lure her into a trap.

As a result, the Green Bamboo Sword performed a move called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". The tail of the sword swung lightly downward, and the tip of the sword went up again, making a U-shaped route and returning to the water channel - Yishena was almost irritated to the point of vomiting blood.

While Yishena had not had time to cast a spell, Lin Ning simply rushed forward on his sword, flying low over the surface of the aqueduct, and finally rushed to the underground river cave at the end and plunged into the river.

Damn it, she still escaped!

Yishen's face was gloomy, and his heart was filled with strong resentment and frustration, but he saw a red sword light breaking through the water and flying down along the pillars of the aqueduct.

Ok?
He suddenly noticed that the supporting pillars of the giant aqueduct had become dilapidated at some point. Part of the damage was caused by the Linga Trident magic that Yishena had used to block Lin Ning's path. Other parts looked like they had been cut by a flying sword...

Flying sword cutting?

Oh right! Doesn't this woman know how to wield a sword with both hands? Why was she the only one who saw the azure sword light on the aqueduct?

Yishena's eyes fell on the large number of ascetic monks who were still chasing on the aqueduct, and his face finally became horrified. He was about to give an urgent order for everyone to turn around and evacuate, but he saw the Danyan sword light flying past like a red meteor, and the pillars of the aqueduct began to collapse one after another like dominoes!

Pillars crumbled, canals collapsed, and the scene was truly earth-shaking. In this flight-forbidden environment, all the Indian cultivators, regardless of their flight abilities, lost their footing and fell, plummeting from the 200-plus-meter-high aqueduct, helplessly flailing in mid-air.
Fire blazed in Yishen's eyes, and the golden light grew increasingly blazing. He finally realized that he had been tricked from the very beginning by this cunning Luguo woman, and the price he paid was the lives of these ascetic monks who had faithfully carried out her orders!

Listening to the continuous screams, wails and muffled sounds of falling to the ground in the distance, Isena stared at the entrance of the underground river, and the strong flame of revenge burned uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.

I'll remember you! Yan Yu, the Divine General of the Lu Kingdom! One day, I'll make your head into a urinal!

Lin Ning had no idea what the other party was thinking. She didn't even look back to see the results of the battle. After shooting out the Danyan Sword, she turned around and went upstream along the underground river.

After a while, the Danyan Sword finally flew back to its owner, and the Mirror Fairy said:
"I was wrong about you. You are not only brave, but also smart."

"What should we do next?" Lin Ning did not respond to her flattery, but asked back.

"There are many paths you can take," the Fairy in the Mirror said slowly. "Ultimately, it depends on where you want to go."

"If you want to go to the Pure Land Yellow Spring, it's southeast of you. Turn right at the next intersection. If you want to go to the Zhenmei Sword Sect, you have to go northeast and turn left at the next intersection."

Lin Ning fell silent after hearing that. She didn't know what the Pure Land Yellow Springs or Zhenmei Sword Sect were. She just wanted to reunite with the captain as soon as possible... and everyone else. Anyway, she would return to the team first.

But where are the captain and the others?
"I'm looking for someone," Lin Ning asked. "Where are people who enter this secret realm most likely to be teleported to?"

"Then I suggest you go to the Pure Land of the Underworld." said the Fairy in the Mirror.

"why?"

"Because those who are teleported to the vicinity of Zhenmei Sword Sect basically do not survive for more than an hour." The Fairy in the Mirror said lightly.

　The Ning Ning line has come to an end temporarily!
