In battles between people... or between intelligent creatures, combat power, or strength on paper, is only one factor that determines victory or defeat. On-the-spot response, environmental factors, IQ and strategy are even more important than pure combat power.
Immortal cultivators are also human beings, intelligent creatures, and their battles also follow these principles.
It doesn't mean that a foundation-building cultivator will die when he meets a Jindan cultivator. It can only be said that the Jindan cultivator has a higher chance of winning. However, if you look back at the results, the winning rate is nothing.
Among the five immortals of the Killing Blade, the strongest on paper is naturally Ma Ze, otherwise he would not be the boss. But unfortunately, he flew into the air as a target and was killed by Li Shiyin's flying sword. The second one is Wang Wu, but he lost his composure and was killed first. Then it was Liu Er...
Liu Er is a physical cultivator, and physical cultivators only cultivate their physical body. To use some impolite words, he is a big fool, a sitting duck, a sandbag that can only be beaten...
No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. No matter how strong your body is, it will eventually be broken by flying swords and magic.
However, among these five people, only Liu Er could fight Li Shiyin head-on. They fought for the longest time and most fiercely. The two of them used one move after another, countering each other's moves, and they accidentally fought over a hundred moves.
It's not that Liu Er is as strong as Li Shiyin, it's just that Li Shiyin lost her sword and couldn't defend against Liu Er. She punched and kicked Liu Er hard, but he was not injured...
Qin Ran was watching from the side. Seeing that Li Shiyin could never break through his defense, he gave some advice on paper:
"Shiyin, the same force will cause different damage to people when using a board, a hammer, or a gun. The same force will also cause different damage when used to hit with the body, with the hand, or with the fist."
Both sides could hear what Qin Ran said, but Liu Er could only ask in his mind: "What the hell is he talking about?" Li Shiyin, on the other hand, could understand it to a certain extent.
"When you normally exert force, the force is in your body, legs, waist, and hands. But if you can concentrate all the force on one point, on your fist. Hit someone with your fist, but use all your strength." Qin Ran was talking about modern boxing theory, but he was just copying what others said. He didn't know how to do it. "Hitting someone with a fist always hurts more than hitting someone with the palm of your hand."
Qin Ran knew what it was, but he couldn't do it; Liu Er could tell it was something important, but he couldn't understand it; only Li Shiyin, who often listened to Qin Ran's lectures, understood it, and then realized something...
She retracted her fist, and all the starlight in her body gathered on her fist, making it shine like the sun. She punched out and hit Liu Er, and the starlight exploded...
"bang!"
Liu Er was knocked away by a punch, blood gushing out, and the place where Li Shiyin's fist hit him was obviously sunken.
.
He fell to the ground, still not understanding what the mystery was in what Qin Ran said, or what the secret of his magical power was.
Li Shiyin chased after him and kicked him, breaking his neck.
At this point, except for Zhang Shan, four of the Five Killing Immortals had died, all killed by Li Shiyin.
After killing Liu Er, Li Shiyin stood there. The boiling blood in her body gradually calmed down, the beating heart in her chest slowly calmed down, and her violent brain gradually became clear. She looked down at Liu Er and thought to herself, "I killed another person. I killed four people in one breath."
Qin Ran came over and looked at Li Shiyin. He was silent for a while and did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, he ordered without any emotion: "Go get the sword and finish him off. Make sure he is really dead."
Li Shiyin turned around and looked at him, her face frosty, while Qin Ran's eyes were calm.
After a while, Li Shiyin calmed down, went to find Ma Ze, drew out her sword, then walked over holding Ma Ze in one hand and the Qingxing Sword in the other.
Walking in front of Qin Ran, she said nothing, silently cut Ma Ze's neck, threw him next to Liu Er, and swung the sword across Liu Er's neck.
“There are two more.” Qin Ran said.
Li Shiyin went to fetch Wu Qing and Wang Wu and gave them both another blow. In fact, Wu Qing had been burned into charcoal by the Earth's Core Fire and was no longer in human form, but she still brought him to Qin Ran and gave Wu Qing a sword.
After watching Li Shiyin finish, Qin Ran raised his hand again, wrapped Zhang Shan, who was pretending to be dead not far away, in a bubble wrap, and sent him to Li Shiyin, saying, "Kill him too."
"Ah..." Zhang Shan woke up instantly. He turned over and knelt down, crying, "Don't kill me, please, don't kill me!!"
“Master!” Li Shiyin stared at Qin Ran and shouted.
Qin Ran remained silent.
At first, Li Shiyin felt that Qin Ran was like an older brother next door, very gentle and considerate; gradually, she discovered that this older brother was a little dark, but also knowledgeable, gentle and elegant; then, she discovered that he was very cautious, always very fearful deep down in his heart, which made people feel pity for him.
Until now, she still thinks her master is terrifying.
The master has always said that the world of cultivating immortals is dangerous, dark and terrifying. However, perhaps what is terrifying is not this world of cultivating immortals, but the master, a master whose mind is too dark and whose actions are cautious to the point of being abnormal!
She thrust her sword forward, and the Qingxing Sword pierced through the bubble film and Zhang Shan's heart. Zhang Shan's crying and begging for mercy stopped immediately.
"You are the devil!" she said.
She sheathed the Qingxing Sword and walked forward.
"Stop!" Qin Ran shouted from behind.
She stopped.
Qin Ran
He took out the corpse-destroying powder from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Li Shiyin, saying, "Destroy the body and get rid of all traces."
Li Shiyin took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky were red, like blood.
She turned around, walked over, snatched the corpse-dispelling powder from Qin Ran's hand, and sprinkled it all on the corpse.
She watched the corpse-killing powder erode the corpse, as if there was an invisible monster in the space gnawing at the corpse. The corpse disappeared bit by bit, and soon disappeared, leaving only clothes on the ground.
"The clothes are burned." Qin Ran said, "Give me the Qiankun bag."
Li Shiyin burned all her clothes, picked up the Qiankun bag, and threw it all at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran modified the space formation of the Qiankun bag, causing the Qiankun bag to be annihilated by space.
"This is what you have to do after killing someone. Destroy all the remains of the body, and don't be greedy for the valuables in the Qiankun bag." Qin Ran said, "Don't leave any clues."
Li Shiyin looked at the fire on her clothes, her face gloomy and she said nothing.
“After the battle, if you haven’t found a safe enough place, you must quickly adjust your state.” Qin Ran continued, “Be prepared for the next battle that may come at any time!”
The flames of the burning clothes were reflected in Li Shiyin's pupils, but she still didn't speak.
Qin Ran felt pity in his heart and sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he raised his hand and brought out a ball of water, poured it over Li Shiyin's head, and said coldly: "At the same time, remove foreign objects on your body, bloodstains, wounds, marks and the like."
Li Shiyin was soaked all over, her long, soft hair stuck to her face and back. She didn't use her magic power to dry it, she just stood there without saying a word.
"This is how the world of immortal cultivation works. Either you don't do anything, or you do something drastic." Qin Ran finally sighed, "You don't want to kill anyone, but you have to protect yourself."
Having said this, Qin Ran fell silent.
The master and his disciple, Li Shiyin looked at the fire with a sullen face, Qin Ran looked at Li Shiyin in silence, neither of them spoke, they were in a cold war, the atmosphere was silent and scary.
It was not until the clothes were burned and the flames disappeared that Qin Ran realized something and looked up into the distance.
Two black spots appeared in the distant sky, and someone was flying over.
He hurriedly took out the Dahuan Dan and Huiyuan Dan from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Li Shiyin.
Li Shiyin didn't take the pill, but followed him to look over.
Two people flew over there, two women, a young girl and a young woman. The young girl was noble and beautiful, and the young woman was graceful and charming. They came from the distant sky and gradually became clearer, like fairies in the sky, graceful and elegant.
"After taking the pill..." Qin Ran said, "I'm ready for the next battle."
"A more difficult battle!"
