Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

People upon people, they reach the ground and connect to the sky.

From Yan Yu's perspective, the ground and sky were filled with enemies. A myriad of colored lights, dense and numerous, they didn't rush to attack but simply surrounded him from all sides.

Then came the golden light Sorcerer, Suo Wen, who cast a secret technique to transmit his voice. Surprisingly, he spoke in the Lu Country's language:

"Longcheng Flying General! I respect you as a hero! Yet now you stoop to serve the orders of mere mortals, driven like cattle and horses! Doesn't that diminish your heroic spirit?"

"Why not join the Witch King under my command, and I'll appoint you as the Grand Marshal to conquer the northern borders! From then on, you can have the wind at your beck and call and the rain on demand, even taking seven or eight wives is no trouble at all, so why insist on bending the knee as a lapdog for those in power!"

The other party's Lu Country tongue was not only heavily accented and tonally inverted, but every sentence was also delivered with an exclamation, as if they learned it by watching Lu Country's fantasy dramas.

However, Yan Yu didn't hesitate for a moment, as the light from his Huang Tingjian sword soared into the sky once again, and he laughed:

"You think you're in a position to negotiate with me? Pass a Mandarin proficiency test first, then come talk to me!"

Suo Wen, hearing such a rejection, didn't show any anger on his face but merely sneered and waved his hand.

Thus, an overwhelming flood of Curse Techniques, Resentful Spirits, Magic Artifacts, and more burst forth like a breached dam towards the light of the Huang Tingjian sword!

If it had been any other Cultivator, they probably wouldn't have lasted three rounds before being completely submerged by the barrage of spells. But Yan Yu, with his vast experience, spurred his sword light up into the heavens, instantly plunging into the sea of clouds and vanishing, causing the torrential onslaught of attacks to miss altogether.

Suo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, gripping the prayer beads in his hand firmly. The Yin Ghosts he had quietly released earlier swiftly surged towards the sea of clouds.

He had once acquired these "Divine Evil Prayer Beads" by chance. They imprisoned innumerable Resentful Spirits and evil ghosts, all capable of being unleashed to harm and kill others, making them extremely useful.

Suo Wen, known as the Golden Light Sorcerer, was actually a Curse Technique Master and wasn't supposed to use Magic Artifacts related to Yin Ghosts. But who among the lay Transcendents would care about the Scholarly Faction's strict doctrines?

He immediately treasured it as a precious find and refined it; ever since, he gained the ability to control Yin Ghosts, essentially practicing dual disciplines as a Yin Sorcerer.

Now that the Longcheng Flying General had hidden above the sea of clouds and was nowhere to be found, he naturally couldn't use Curse Techniques to strike, and it was the perfect opportunity to employ the Yin Sorcerer's tactics to seek out his enemy.

No sooner had the Yin Ghosts entered the sea of clouds than they saw the sky-piercing sword light, like a deep abyss or a towering monument, cutting through layers of cloud cover from above!

This sword strike came too swiftly, brushing past countless Resentful Spirits and Yin Ghosts in an instant and directly targeting the Golden Light Sorcerer Suo Wen. Even the surrounding Sorcerers were caught off guard and couldn't react in time.

Suo Wen threw out the Divine Evil Prayer Beads, which spun half a turn in the air, and suddenly met the oncoming light of the Huang Tingjian sword.

These prayer beads were no ordinary object, with Mysterious Seal Script carved upon them, capable of locking down all magical and enchanted artifacts, rendering them void of spirit and unable to be activated.

Yan Yu didn't know what the prayer beads were, but having lived two lifetimes, he had already developed a set of effective methods for dealing with all kinds of strange and unknown magical artifacts.

The sword light flew swiftly towards the prayer beads and, just before it was about to hit, abruptly veered downward, instantly avoiding the collision with the beads. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

But that slight deviation slowed the rhythm of his attack by half a beat, allowing the surrounding Sorcerers to finally react, swiftly launching various treacherous techniques, the brilliance almost blotting out the sky.

Leading the charge were the Curse Technique Masters' ghastly incantations. Numerous little ghosts were laughing, cursing, and wildly clawing their way forward, attacking as swiftly as the wind. Their bodies were as light as a swallow's, and their speed was even faster than Yan Yu's Sword Control...

in truth, it was because Yan Yu's Fasting practice was not yet complete, which caused blockages in his meridians and True Yuan.

Following the ghost incantations were the slightly slower insect incantations. Flying snakes, spiders, scorpions, toads, and centipedes, an orchestra of shrieking Poisonous Insects rustling and bustling in unison, ready to pounce on any Cultivator and instantly bite them to death, not leaving even a shred of bone behind.

With an empty stomach, Yan Yu could not output True Yuan to his fullest potential for Sword Control. Seeing that the sword light was about to be caught up by the little ghosts, he suddenly shifted downwards in a steep angle, revealing his tactical intention to hide within the forest on the ground.

The little ghosts were quick to react, quickly following the steep downward move, tenaciously chasing the tail of the sword light.

Yan Yu suddenly changed direction again, the sword light sharply ascending upward, planning to shake off the pursuers trailing him on the vertical axis.

The little ghosts almost crashed into the forest below, hastily readjusting their direction to chase after Yan Yu as he ascended diagonally... but this change led to a problem!

First moving diagonally downward and then upward amounted to taking a V-shaped trajectory, which was naturally slower than flying straight.

The insect incantations, not as quick to respond as the ghost incantations, maintained a straight-line trajectory instead of adjusting to Yan Yu's changes in flight direction – the result was that the slower-moving second wave of attacks struck the circuitous first wave of attacks!

Curse Technique Masters can only choose one form among three: ghost, insect, or flying incantations. Those employing ghost incantations and insect incantations were not the same practitioners.

Coupled with the volatile nature of the Poisonous Insects, which violently barged into the swarm of little ghosts from behind, there was no holding back as they viciously started biting and gnawing at each other.

The little ghosts, unable to bear the pain, ignored the commands of the Curse Technique Masters and turned to fight the Poisonous Insects in a chaotic melee, with broken wings and dark blood splattering everywhere.

On the Curse Technique Masters' side, as their incantations collectively malfunctioned, they could no longer focus on pursuing Yan Yu and had to quickly mobilize their divine thoughts to suppress the incantations' urge to kill and urgently recall them.

The third wave of attacks, controlled by Yin Sorcerers, consisted of Resentful Spirits and Yin Ghosts. Because they flew even slower, they were not caught up in the mutual destruction of the ghost and insect incantations.
