Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Under the manipulation of the necromancers, those resentful spirits circled over the battle scene and followed the light of Yan Yu's Huang Tingjian sword into the sea of clouds.

After a while, the sword light pierced through the clouds again, resorting to the same tactic and striking at Suo Wen.

Although Suo Wen did not spit blood when he saw this, he was extremely depressed in his heart.

The Curse Technique Masters' curse techniques were extremely ferocious, and when their killing intent arose they wouldn't even recognize their own kin. Fooled by the strategy of the Longcheng Flying General, they were now slaughtering each other, and nearly half of them had already been wasted.

As for the necromancers' Yin Ghosts, their flying speed was too slow, and they simply couldn't keep up with the light of the Huang Tingjian sword... While the enemy was almost upon them, those Yin Ghosts were still emerging from the sea of clouds, desperately trying to hustle back.

The best plan for the moment was to lure him close enough so that he wouldn't have time to dodge the curse techniques, and then to bomb him collectively with the Curse Technique Masters, using various curse techniques to directly pulverize him!

Suo Wen calmly clasped his hands, allowing Yan Yu's sword light to strike close to him.

700 meters... 600 meters... 500 meters! A little closer, and he would blast him!

Just as the Huang Tingjian sword light was about to descend to a height where the Curse Technique could not be avoided, Suo Wen's hands hidden in his sleeves had already formed the light of the Golden Light Subjugation Curse, and suddenly he waved his sleeves, striking out hastily.

Immediately after, he couldn't help but roar in rage.

Damn it!

But he saw the light of Yan Yu's sword suddenly shift sideways, performing a drift right at the gate of hell, narrowly and thrillingly evading all the curse techniques at a critical moment.

Then the sword light shot downward fiercely, completely ignoring the empty-handed Suo Wen, and headed straight into the crowd of Curse Technique Masters.

Close combat was always the best way to deal with ranged attackers.

The Curse Technique Masters who could follow Suo Wen were of course also battle-hardened from the Southern Border, and they immediately stopped the curse technique bombardment, scattered, retreated, and opened up the distance, allowing their Tattooed Charm Masters and necromancers to step in.

Some of the Tattooed Charm Masters activated the tattoos and charms, manifesting various majestic law bodies behind them to protect the retreating Curse Technique Masters. The necromancers, on the other hand, tapped their yin plaques to propel zombies forward, trying to encircle and trap the light of the Huang Tingjian sword to death.

Yan Yu killed four Curse Technique Masters in a row and then suddenly veered left, attempting to break out of the encirclement. Two law bodies stretched out fan-like giant hands to block him, but the sword light moved down, then up, and down again, performing an ultra-fast Z-shaped maneuver, slipping through the narrow gap between the two law bodies.

The crowd hurriedly scrambled to adjust their formation, retreating when needed, and closing in to surround, but after all, they were a ragtag army and hadn't properly trained to deploy troops and arrange formations, so their adjustment speed couldn't keep up with Yan Yu's formation-breaking speed.

Oftentimes, before the encirclement could be fully established, he would burst through the gap, then continue to kill several more, waiting for you to re-establish the encirclement, and then repeat the trick to slip away before it was completed.

Golden Light Master Suo Wen was watching from above, feeling his blood pressure almost sky-rocketing.

The situation was becoming ever more clear, that the Sword Flight of the Longcheng Flying General was too fast and too agile. Any attack strategy that couldn't keep up with his speed, whether it was meant to encircle or to lure the enemy, simply couldn't hit him.

Those who could keep up with that speed?

The Curse Technique Masters took quite some effort but finally managed to suppress the mutually killing cursed beings with their evil methods, and then urgently called them back to go and kill Yan Yu.

Facing layers upon layers of various curse techniques, Yan Yu was not afraid at all but suddenly revved up his sword light...

...and ran away.

Suo Wen finally spat blood. Fight and run, this Longcheng Flying General really had no sense of martial honor!

The Curse Technique Masters wanted to again drive the Cursed Techniques to chase and kill but were immediately stopped by Suo Wen:

"Everyone's been chased! Do you want to repeat the same process again?"

Recalling the scene of the cursed beings slaughtering each other, the frantically enraged Curse Technique Masters finally calmed down.

The nature of the cursed beings was ferocious, and their ability to automatically seek enemies were supposed to be advantages, but somehow the Longcheng Flying General had played some trick, turning these around to be used against them, resulting in severe drawbacks...

Now, to think of a way to break this situation, we must prevent the Curse Technique from automatically seeking enemies, lest we be led into attacking each other by the enemy. However, if the Curse Technique Master has to direct every Curse Technique, then it cannot fly too far and it would be impossible to catch up with the Longcheng Flying General.

Suo Wen had already made sense of this conundrum. Although he still could not accept the fact that a thousand of his men were being toyed with by one person on the other side, there was a saying in Lu Country that fit well, "Observation and detail are the precursors to capturing a skilled adversary."

The current task at hand was that if the entire army were to chase after the Longcheng Flying General, they would be played and delayed by him, falling right into his trap.

"I, Master of Light Suo Wen, how could I fall for such a low trick?"

"Forget about the Longcheng Flying General!" Suo Wen quickly ordered, "Continue to blockade high altitudes and spread a net in the woods for a search! Find all the other Cultivators! I refuse to believe that all the Cultivators from Lu Country can achieve the level of the Longcheng Flying General!"

The Sorcerers were also greatly invigorated. After all, the most enjoyable thing in life is to pick on the weak, and the most painful thing is to have no choice but to collide an egg against a rock, regardless of the nationality.

Find the other Cultivators from Lu Country!

In Pingjing Prefecture, Lu Country's Privy Council.

Satellite surveillance had already divided into two areas, with the main screen monitoring the war situation in the Southern Border within the territory, and the auxiliary screen tracking the performance of the Champion Marquis squad outside the border.

The situation in the Southern Border was relatively stable. Beyond the border, permanent herbicides had been deployed, clearing large areas of open isolation zones. Any Sorcerer that appeared was immediately subjected to remote firepower projection.

The effect could be described as significant but also useless. Significant in that it indeed eliminated enemies, but futile because there were still sporadic Sorcerers entering the Southern Border... with no idea how they managed to infiltrate, presumably through some unknown methods like invisibility.

Fortunately, the defensive teams within the territory were efficient, able to fly over promptly with Sword Control and eliminate the enemies. So far, there have only been injuries among the populace, with houses and properties damaged, all caught in the aftermath of attacks.

A more severe issue was the high vegetation coverage in the Southern Border and the massive swarms of miasma that obscured visibility, which meant that the main force of the Witch King had not yet been located.

Whether the enemy would infiltrate in scattered units or concentrate their forces to break through with protective amulets, was still entirely unknown.

An extreme solution was proposed by the military advisors: to douse the entire Southern Border with permanent herbicide and remove all the vegetation. After high-level discussions, this was still vetoed because the Southern Border has an area of 4.57 million square kilometers. First, how much herbicide would be needed, and how many airplanes and drones would be required to complete this operation?

The level of technology in Lu Country of this world was not yet at a point where they could reshape a planetary surface on a large scale, except by using nuclear weapons.

Let us turn our attention back to the Champion Marquis squad. If they could decapitate the Witch King, then the entire Allied Forces would naturally crumble.

Of course, Lu Country was not the only one closely monitoring the situation in the Southern Border.

At the Grand Onmyoji Institute, the bigwigs were also using disguised weather satellites to watch the battles unfolding on the surface of the Southern Border.

Previously, in the secret battle at Black Dragon Isle, Yan Zhanlong accomplished the feat of fighting one against two hundred. Afterward, the Institute conducted a tactical review and believed that Shenyuan Guang had underestimated Yan Zhanlong's strength, leading his men to focus on continuing to slay enemy generals and capturing flags.

If he had mobilized personnel in time to surround and pursue Yan Zhanlong, the defeat would not have been so disastrous.

Now, Yan Yu was single-handedly kiting a thousand men, and his sword light was still as if entering a realm without adversaries, causing the bigwigs to feel a sense of disarray as if their knowledge was being refreshed once again.

Damn it! Yan Zhanlong, what kind of Pokémon are you, to evolve into a Longcheng Flying General? Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

Experience proved that even if a large number of people were mobilized to hunt him down, if the average skill level could not catch up with the Longcheng Flying General, no matter how many there were, it would be in vain.

To gather a large group of high-level Onmyoji capable of combating the Longcheng Flying General was also unrealistic. Upon careful consideration, one would still need to resort to risky tactics, finding some kind of specialized means to restrict him.

Such as barriers, such as seals.

The Grand Onmyoji Institute regarded Yan Yu as the ultimate enemy, but the Superhero Alliance did not share this life-and-death opposition.

They were currently discussing internally whether or not to negotiate with Lu Country's Privy Council and sign a cooperation agreement regarding the division of the Pacific Ocean.

Using the time zones as boundaries, the entire west side of the Pacific belongs to you, just don't come to the east side!
