Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 126

This is Rakshasa Cave, the beginning of a dream.

Ling Yun pushed open the stone door, and was immediately met with a chilling atmosphere that would make ordinary people shudder, but it meant nothing to him at the moment.

As he entered, several ferocious-looking monsters flew towards him, all of them possessing strength starting from A-level.

A bat-like monster swooped down, but Ling Yun used his Free and Easy Wind Control technique to dodge it and then thrust his sword heavily into its neck.

This sword strike contained terrifying power and internal energy. Combined with the Pure Yang Sword's ability to kill demons, it was enough to instantly kill the bat demons that wreaked havoc in the area!

But this was just a warm-up. As the lair of the Rakshasa Witch, there were countless monsters here. After the bat monster died, other demons rushed over one after another.

Ling Yun smiled coldly. Not to mention that his strength has long since reached SS level, just considering the martial arts he has learned and the peerless techniques he created, even if he only had A level strength, it would be enough for him to solo.

An hour later, Ling Yun, his white robes stained with blood, arrived at a treasure chest.

It's not that the monsters are too hard to fight, it's that this road is just too damn hard to walk on!

This inevitably brings up a characteristic of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series of games: dungeons!

Every map where you encounter monsters is a maze. If you don't remember the way and just blindly rush through, you'll quickly get lost. And when you move to the next map and realize you've gone the wrong way, the monsters from the original map have already respawned when you turn back. Plus, the paths are narrow, and the monsters are fast, so they'll quickly run into you and trigger another battle, creating an endless cycle.

However, in reality, the number of monsters in Rakshasa Cave is limited, and Ling Yun has basically wiped them all out. But he still wandered around inside like a headless fly for a while before discovering a treasure chest he had never seen before.

After thinking for a moment, he walked up to the treasure chest.

The box wasn't big, and it looked no different from a jewelry box. However, Ling Yun saw through his X-ray vision that a monster transformed into a wisp of green smoke was actually inside!

Lingyun squatted down in front of the treasure chest and opened it.

In an instant, a wisp of green smoke rose up, and an ugly monster appeared before him.

"Hold your hand, hero!" the demon shouted as soon as he saw Ling Yun holding the Chunyang Sword.

"Who are you?"

"The little demon is named Tu Guai. He stopped you, great hero, to borrow your precious sword."

Ling Yun knew perfectly well that the appearance of this earth monster was one of the conditions for triggering Ling'er's perfect ending. Although he was confident that he could save the girl, it was best not to be too overconfident, just to be on the safe side.

What do you need my Pure Yang Sword for?

"In the cave where the little demon dwells, a blood-horned azure dragon has emerged that can breathe out cold-dispelling poisonous fire day and night. The little demon Dou Zhan borrowed the sword in order to eliminate this great scourge!"

Ling Yun pretended to be deep in thought, and after a few breaths, handed the Chunyang Sword to him: "Take it, I'm not a stingy person."

"Thank you, Master Ling! That poisonous woman is in this direction. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

After saying that, the monster turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Ling Yun looked at the route he indicated, took out his wooden sword, and walked over.

Chapter 303 The Rakshasa Hag [Bonus Chapter with Blades]

When he arrived at the innermost part, he indeed saw the Rakshasa witch who was several meters tall.

The Rakshasa witch had a hideous and grotesque face, and a hunched back. Upon seeing Ling Yun, she immediately let out a dizzying scream.

"Hahaha, here comes another fearless one!"

Ling Yun used a search on her and discovered that this old hag's strength had actually reached SS+, and she also possessed many skills such as poison smoke and flying shadow soul stealing, making her a perfect BOSS template.

But he didn't hold back. With a flick of his finger, the wooden sword was instantly enchanted with the "Turning Stone into Gold" spell, and he charged forward without saying a word.

"Hmph, you dare to come here to die with a mere wooden sword!"

The Rakshasa Witch smiled disdainfully, but still cautiously summoned two A+ level demons, Crying Shadow and Laughing Shadow, to attack Lingyun from both sides.

Although these two little demons were quite powerful, they didn't have much intelligence and just foolishly charged towards us.

Ling Yun skillfully dodged the monster's attacks using the Free and Easy Wind technique. He even took advantage of the little demon's attack to hide behind the Rakshasa Witch, causing her to take damage from one of his summoned creatures.

"what!"

A sharp explosion rang out again, and the crying and laughing figures vanished instantly. The furious Rakshasa witch turned and grabbed at Ling Yun.

The sinister and terrifying Ghost Claw is several times stronger than the Nine Yin Divine Claw. I'm afraid that if Huang Shang's ghost came with a halo above its head, it would be blown away by this old hag's claw.

Ling Yun was not afraid at all. He had already mastered the Dugu Nine Swords, which he had absorbed into the vast ocean. The strongest aspect of this sword technique was its ability to break through enemy moves. Every sword strike he made had no set moves, but its power was incredibly terrifying.

The blazing light, as intense as the sun, shone from the wooden sword. Even without the Pure Yang Sword, the Rakshasa Witch's Ghost Yin Claws were shattered head-on by him, and then the sword, still powerful, pierced her body.

boom!

The attack was like the roar of a missile, causing the entire cave to shake violently. Countless rocks fell from the sky, and the way out began to be destroyed.

The Rakshasa witch was sent flying backward, her clothes ripped to shreds, revealing her disgusting and repulsive true form.

However, this attack did not kill the Rakshasa Witch directly. As a "BOSS" character, if the Rakshasa Witch were killed instantly by Ling Yun's sword, all those years of her life would have been for nothing.

However, Ling Yun was not worried at all, because no matter whether he won or lost this battle, even if he died here, it would have no connection with the subsequent plot.

Improving martial arts skills requires real combat experience. In the main world, he couldn't be too conspicuous, so he just cultivated alone in the back mountain of the Su family, but in the end, he couldn't find a suitable opponent to spar with.

The current Rakshasa Witch is a perfect punching bag, allowing him to test his strength.

The old hag also roared and fought with Ling Yun, but as the battle intensified, Ling Yun also discovered the key to the problem.

If this fight continues, he probably won't be able to kill this old hag.

This Rakshasa witch has another characteristic: after she takes action, whether she is blocking or attacking, she will recover a certain amount of her injuries.

Even with his strongest sword technique, it would take more than ten consecutive strikes to completely kill her, but she recovers after each strike, so it's as if he hasn't attacked her at all.

The Rakshasa witch also realized that Ling Yun was powerless against her, and she chuckled as she prepared to enjoy her human flesh feast.

In the original game, this Rakshasa hag had 4500 health points, and it was a turn-based game where she would recover 1000 health points each turn. Even if the protagonist Li Xiaoyao didn't use any potions and went all out, he couldn't deal 1000 damage in a single turn, so his defeat was inevitable.

But he is not Li Xiaoyao. Even though this is just the beginning of a dream, he is unwilling to leave any regrets.

"You think I can't kill you, huh?"

Ling Yun sheathed the wooden sword and drew out Mo Bai.

hum~

A powerful wave emanated from the entire cave, which was on the verge of collapse. Ling Yun felt that Mo Bai was like his arm, able to cooperate with him at will to use various moves.

Moreover, he also sensed a strong sense of joy from Mo Bai, which was like a spoiled child conveying joy and happiness to him.

The Rakshasa Witch also realized something was wrong, but she was already in a difficult situation. She spewed out infernal fire, determined to fight Ling Yun to the death.

Ling Yun swung his sword and slashed. He could now use the Meteor Slash as a normal attack, as it didn't consume much internal energy.

The power of the Meteor Slash also increased with the improvement of the internal energy of the self-created martial arts. One strike was comparable to several previous sword strikes, and the old hag's wails echoed throughout the entire cave.

Finally, Ling Yun cornered her, and Mo Bai pressed his hand against her neck.

"You old hag, today I will rid the people of this scourge and kill you, you demon!"

Unexpectedly, after he said this, the Rakshasa witch opposite him suddenly laughed, and her aura continued to rise, and her wounds were quickly healed!

Ling Yun was stunned. Damn it, was this going to be a forced plot kill?

The Rakshasa witch's face also began to change, her figure became incredibly ethereal, and she turned Ling Yun around and suppressed him in the corner.

“You…” Ling Yun felt weak all over, and even the black ink had lost its luster.

"Rakshasa hag, do with me as you please, but when I return next time, it will be the time to take your life!"

"How dare you call me a Rakshasa witch?"

The old hag's voice came from above, and then she took out a spatula.

Ling Yun blinked, and then the spatula slammed heavily onto his head...

"Whoa!"

A sharp pain shot through his head, and Ling Yun immediately clutched his head and got out of bed.

The spatula owner's strength was terrifying; even in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, he would probably be considered a master close to the extraordinary realm!

He gasped, realizing he had woken up from a dream when he saw the blanket covering him.

A faint fragrance wafted from beside me, but along with that fragrance came a strong chill.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful woman standing next to him, her face full of anger, one hand on her hip and the other holding a spatula. It was clear that this was the woman who had just hit him.

"You... are you?"

"Heh, Ling Yun, you were just calling me a Rakshasa Witch, have you forgotten already?"

Ling Yun's mouth dropped open, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.

Name: Sun Lan

Age: 37, ☆

[Value: 170, D]

[Rating: 94]

[Combat Strength: S-]

[Affection: Falling in love]

Aunt Li's original name was Sun Lan. Because she married into the Li family, she was called Aunt Li.

But what's going on here? This woman is so beautiful, how come she looks so different from the Li Da Niang in the original game!

"Ling Yun, are you asleep or something?"

Sun Lan yanked off his blanket, and when she saw what was inside, she blushed with embarrassment.

There's no other reason than that Lingyun is used to sleeping peacefully, which is good for his physical development. He didn't expect Xiaona to bring this over to him as well.

Ling Yun immediately pulled the blanket back up and coughed lightly, "Auntie, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to barge into my room like that?"

"Oh, so now you know to call me auntie?" Sun Lan pinched his ear. "You brat, you eat my food and live in my house, it's already broad daylight, why aren't you up to help me with the chores? Do you want to sleep until noon?"

Ling Yun pretended to be in pain and begged for mercy, but in reality he was carefully watching Sun Lan's appearance.

Indeed, she was completely different from the Aunt Li he remembered from his childhood. But that was fine too. Who would want to stare at an old hag every day with a beautiful aunt?

Chapter 304 Yuhang Inn [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

"Aren't you getting up?"

Seeing that Ling Yun remained silent, Sun Lan immediately raised her voice to hide her somewhat flustered state of mind.

That fleeting glimpse made her realize that the brat who used to follow her around was now such a big young man.

Her deceased husband, Li Sansheng's family, had originally been kind to her Sun family, having arranged a marriage between them when she was a child. Although she had no affection for this man, she could only accept her fate due to the arrangements made by her parents and the matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, on the very night she married into the family, the Li family's enemies attacked her on her wedding night.

Sun Lan was no pushover either. In her early years, she was known in the martial arts world as "Iron Palm Flying Phoenix," possessing superb martial arts skills and being famous for her "Cloud Piercing Palm," earning her a formidable reputation in the martial arts world.

She and Li Sansi and his wife fend off the enemy's pursuit, but Li Sansheng, an ordinary man who knew no martial arts, died in the conflict.

Although she didn't like Li Sansheng, her reputation was completely ruined after she lost her husband so soon after marrying into the family.

Later, Li Sansi and his wife worried that other enemies might come looking for them, causing trouble for their sister-in-law. They could simply leave and wander the world, but what about their young children?

Although Sun Lan seems to have a fiery temper, she is actually a kind-hearted and generous person. She adopted their child, renamed him Lingyun, and claimed to the public that she had found him. She successfully raised him to the age of 20.

Ling Yun clutched the blanket, somewhat speechless, and said, "Auntie, are you sure you want to watch me change my clothes?"

Sun Lan was taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening, released his ear, and walked to the door.

"Hurry up, we have a very important guest in our store today!"

"Ok!"

The door closed, and Ling Yun immediately climbed off the bed and took out a set of simple clothes from his spatial ring to change into.

He didn't go down directly, but instead walked to a corner.

Sure enough, just like in the original story, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the woodshed below.

After he opened the wooden valve of the secret passage, Sun Lan, who had already gone downstairs, called out again.

"Lingyun, are you done yet!"

"Come on, come on!"
