Chapter 53: The Evil Girl Who Becomes Black with the Infernal Affairs

He Lingyun swooped down with his claws less than an inch away from the necks of the two monks. He was about to catch them, but one of them reacted incredibly quickly and drew his sword to meet the attack.

If he didn't change his tactics, he might be able to capture one of them, but he would have to pay the price of having one of the crane's claws cut off. He Lingyun twisted his body in the air, and his wings transformed into arms again, and he drew his sword to fight back.

Sparks flew when the two swords collided. He Lingyun twisted his wrist and used the force to gather the impact force and his own weight and transfer it to the sword body, actually deflecting the man's sword. The two swords slid towards another monk who was still in shock of the explosion.

In the current era, techniques such as Tai Chi swordsmanship that use the opponent's force to counter attack have not yet been born, and sword practitioners have always preferred to release flying swords to defend against the enemy, and their skills in close combat with swords are not profound.

He Lingyun's sword moves, which were based on the basic principles of mechanics, caught his opponent off guard. The opponent had no time to retract his strength, and the sword in his hand went on to hit his teammate, leaving a deep bloody gash on the chest of the monk next to him.

The latter screamed and fell on his back. Before he could draw his sword, he was severely injured and lost his combat effectiveness in an instant.

The cultivator who drew his sword to meet the enemy was a sword cultivator, and the teammate who was accidentally injured by him was a magic cultivator who was well versed in spells, so the two had completely different reactions when they were attacked.

The sword cultivator had sharp awareness and was quick in his actions, so he had just enough time to counterattack. The magic cultivator's physical quality was much worse, so he was a little slow in reacting to the enemy.

These two usually fight hand in hand, cooperating with each other to make up for their respective weaknesses. The magic cultivator's five elements magic is varied, and the sword cultivator's sword control is sharp and swift. If they cooperate well, in a two-on-one situation, cultivators of the same level are often overwhelmed.

The sword cultivator in the duo was originally responsible for protecting his teammates, but the first fight backfired and he ended up chopping down his companion. He was immediately frustrated. He was worried that he would not be able to win alone without help, and he was also afraid of being blamed by the team leader afterwards. His unbalanced state of mind made his sword moves more and more chaotic, and he was clumsy and below par.

He Lingyun seemed to be in a state of concentration, his pair of bright eyes sparkling in the darkness. He moved forward without giving the opponent a chance to distance himself. The sword in his hand seemed to be stabbing and slashing randomly without any method, but each move was carefully calculated and hit exactly the position on the opponent's sword that was most difficult to exert force.

If you regard the legs, torso, arms, wrists and sword as a complex mechanical transmission structure composed of sections of levers, you can judge the trajectory of the sword and the force of the sword just by observing the opponent's movements of moving, shifting, swinging his arms and turning his wrists.

The crane girl, who loves to study and think, is able to draw inferences from one instance to another. In the process of learning theoretical knowledge, she unconsciously connects it with her usual sword practice. The more she practices, the more she understands.

The sword techniques taught in the sect, whether it is the sword-wielding technique for close combat or the sword-flying technique for controlling the sword in flight, every move and every posture seems to contain the principles of basic mechanics.

Gradually, He Lingyun no longer stuck to the sect's sword techniques, but broke down the sword moves in different sword techniques one by one, combined them with the sword's trajectory to perform some calculations, figured out the optimal solution to deal with various situations, and then rearranged the combinations.

Her new understanding of swordsmanship, in the words of martial arts, is "no moves are better than moves", and it also has the "Tai Chi sword meaning" of "transforming strength" and "eliminating force". In the field of close combat with swords, when the monks of the same level cannot use force to break the trick, it is already difficult to find an opponent.

The swordsman of Dingguang Sect who was fighting against her felt that the opponent's sword was getting stronger and stronger. He swung his sword with all his might and it felt like he was cutting on cotton. It was as if he was hitting a golden bell and iron shield, but the force that bounced back was greater than the force he had swung.

If only his swordsmanship was suppressed, he could still hold on for a few rounds until the team leader woke up from the shock wave and came to rescue him. However, He Lingyun's footwork was also unique. Although He Wu's body movement was difficult to display in the narrow cave, her ability to expand her thinking cleverly turned disadvantages into advantages.

If the ground in the cave is regarded as the combat area, it is indeed very narrow and one can easily bump into the cave wall if one is not careful.

But if we break away from the two-dimensional plane and expand the battle area to three dimensions, then the cave walls and the cave ceiling are the footholds for the crane dance, and the earth is not necessarily only under your feet!
He Lingyun just happened to have the innate ability to maneuver in three dimensions in a narrow space. Her untransformed crane claws were extremely sharp, and the tips of the claws could easily pierce through rocks and tightly grasp the cave walls. She could jump on the cave walls and run upside down on the cave ceiling. The entire inner wall of the cave was like a moving platform for her, as if it were flat ground.

As a result, in the deep and dim cave, the crane girl's figure was like a ghost. The sword cultivators of Dingguang Sect could not only not keep up with her pace, but even find it difficult to see her elusive figure and follow her movements with their eyes.

In a flash, several vital acupoints on the body of the Dingguang Sect's swordsman were hit by the sword tip that came at a strange angle. His meridians were blocked and his spiritual power collapsed. He slowly fell to his knees, his acupoints sealed and he could not move.

It's too late, but it's soon.

From the time He Lingyun launched a surprise attack to the time the two were defeated, it took no more than ten breaths, which was only five or six seconds longer than if they had been choked and knocked unconscious by the crane's claws.

Wen Rui, who had already connected to the electronic eyes of other bionic insects and restored the surveillance footage, was stunned. He knew that Junior Sister He had something, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

When Wen Rui chose He Lingyun as the tester of Jian Erling and tricked her into assassinating Fashan, he didn't make the choice blindly. How could the old scoundrel who always planned before taking action randomly pick an unlucky junior sister to push into the fire pit?

The one he chose was not a human being. It was a small matter that his stupid junior sister died accidentally, but it was a big matter that his plan to escape from hell was destroyed.

The intelligence of this innocent little crane had been collected very well. Most of the intelligence of Lishan's junior sisters was filed with Wen Rui. The electronic files of each junior sister were so many that they had to be stored in a cabinet. In front of Luan Qingyu, Wen Rui's evaluation of He Lingyun was not aimless. Through behavioral analysis, daily records, psychological analysis, character profiling and other assessments, Wen Rui deduced that this little crane had a natural warrior personality buried deep in her subconscious before meeting her.

It was not until this moment that Senior Brother Luo from Dingguang Sect woke up from the shock and dizziness, and stared at He Lingyun with a pair of malicious eagle eyes.

He Lingyun had just dealt with the duo and had not yet remembered to hide his body. When he was locked in his sight, he simply gave up hiding, stood up with sword in hand, protected in front of Niu Xiruo, and confronted him from a distance.

"I only wanted to save my junior sister, and I didn't want to harm the lives of your companions. If you don't stop me, then let it go. I won't pursue your evil deeds. I will take my junior sister away, and you can be free to treat your companions."

He Lingyun said coldly.

The monk surnamed Luo turned his head and took a look at the female monk who was blown away. He saw her lying on the ground with her head and face charred black and her chest covered in blood. However, her chest was still rising and falling slowly, and she had not yet died.

Seeing his opponent looking at his injured companion, He Lingyun added: "I advise you to make a decision early. It's not too late to save her now. If you delay any longer, her life will be in danger!"

Not in a hurry to save his companion, monk Luo turned around and looked at He Lingyun with interest. He licked his lips and said frivolously, "Haha, how can that bitch be compared with a top-notch like you? I'm tired of playing with her anyway, so it's no pity if she dies."

"But you, little fairy, are so beautiful that it makes people feel itchy."

The monk surnamed Luo had a lewd expression and smiled obscenely, "I've heard that the Lishan demon girl is extremely beautiful. I thought I got a poisonous one this time and I wouldn't have the chance to get close to her, but you came to me. My ancestor bless me, and give me such a great fortune. When I've enjoyed enough, I can sell it to the sect leader and get countless resources in exchange. It's really a great combination of wealth and beauty."

How could a cultivator named Luo, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, be frightened by the threat of a mere female cultivator in the Golden Core stage? What's more, both the other party's appearance and figure were extremely beautiful, rare in the world. Even if the other party's realm was higher than his, he was bold enough to give it a try.

As for those companions, even if they were just casual friends, they could just abandon them. "A fellow Taoist would rather die than let me die" is a virtue of monks passed down from ancient times. Monk Luo had no guilt in abandoning them.

As for the blame for the team leader's dereliction of duty that led to the annihilation of the training team, it was even easier to resolve. He was able to bring back to the sect a top-quality newt's skin and a stunningly beautiful demon. His contribution far outweighed the losses, and he also had fewer accomplices to share the spoils. It was truly the best of both worlds.

Having seen ruthless men like Fashan and scum like Wen Rui, He Lingyun has developed some resistance to the bad men's despicable words and deeds. He is not disgusted to the point of physical discomfort affecting his combat performance, and his state of mind is not affected.

Her pretty face was frosty, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she silently raised her sword, with the tip of the sword pointing at the monk surnamed Luo. She didn't say a word, but her meaning was very clear, that is, a brave man draws his sword when he meets someone on a narrow road!
The cultivator named Luo was horrified in his heart. He had clearly checked repeatedly with his spiritual sense and found that the other party's realm was indeed only high-level Jindan and had not even reached the great perfection.

According to common sense, with such a huge gap in realm, the stunning demon girl had no chance of winning. However, she was so calm in the face of an invincible enemy, which made the monk named Luo feel uneasy.

Thinking about it carefully again, the cultivator surnamed Luo suddenly became alert. The beautiful girl in front of him was at a high-level Jindan realm. She defeated three Jindan cultivators of similar realm in an instant in front of him.

Including the two people on sentry duty at the cave entrance, five Jindan cultivators from Dingguang Sect had been killed by her delicate hands!
The monk surnamed Luo's expression became solemn. He knew that he was blinded by lust. He was glad that he woke up early. If he had taken her lightly, he would have suffered a great loss because of underestimating the enemy.

The cultivator surnamed Luo immediately regarded He Lingyun as an equal opponent, but he did not dare to act rashly as he did against a weaker lower-level warrior. He used force to crush him. He also concentrated his mind and gathered his strength, looking for flaws in the opponent.

The two men faced each other from a distance, their momentum was equally matched, as if they were opponents of the same level.

"Humph! You rat, I gave you a chance to escape but you didn't cherish it..."

He Lingyun was the first to speak and break the stalemate: "This place is not far from the Lishan Immortal Sect. When I came here, I sent someone back to the sect to ask for help. I believe the elders of the sect will be here soon. When my master Caiyunxian comes, see if you dare to say what you just said to her again!"

She said this to attack the enemy's heart. In order to save time, she did not send any reinforcements. However, this would disrupt the enemy's morale, and they would either lose their will to fight and flee, or their psychological pressure would increase, and they would make hasty moves in order to win quickly and expose their flaws.

When facing a powerful enemy who is one realm higher than oneself, if the opponent has a stable state of mind and advances step by step steadily, then the war of attrition will undoubtedly be lost if there is a huge gap in spiritual power.

You won't lose anything anyway. Talking about it won't just waste a few drops of saliva, but it can increase your chances of winning. Why not do it?
This is exactly the mentality that He Lingyun had learned from Senior Brother Wen subtly and unconsciously. Birds of a feather flock together, and his heart is no longer as pure and innocent as it was before.
