Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

For safety reasons, the plane that the Zhenhai Team took was not a passenger jet, but a modified transport plane.

Some seats and soft chairs were added to the interior, but the overall layout still resembled that of a transport plane, with features like a jump hatch that supported parachuting.

When the plane descended to the jump altitude, the crew opened the hatch, and the girls' complexions changed once again... At this moment, the cold wind raged furiously inside the cabin, the temperature plummeted, and it felt as if the floor was beginning to shake and jitter, whether that was an illusion or not.

"Jump one by one! After jumping out, try to fly with Sword Flight!" Yan Yu shouted near the hatch against the violent wind, "Don't be too scared! If you can't learn it in one go, I'll catch you before you hit the ground!!!"

But the girls' faces looked even worse. Listen to what the captain was saying, not "I'll catch you," but "I'll catch you before you hit the ground." Does that mean they'd have to struggle against the King of Hell's grasp at death's door?

Zhao Yuanzhen was quite amused watching from the side. When she was learning Sword Flight, there were no senior sect members throwing them from the sky... How busy were the elders? They hardly had time to care about the juniors' cultivation, right?

Now that the little thief is willing to take care of you, just silently be grateful!

"Lin Ning, Su Yunjin, Chen Lingyun!" Yan Yu continued to yell, "Come here in this order and line up!!!"

"Seriously." Lin Ning was a bit scared but still managed to retort with a complaint, "If the wind is strong, just use sound transmission, why shout so loud... Ah!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!"

She was directly hurled out of the hatch by Yan Yu.

"Yan, Yan Yu." Su Yunjin was completely terrified, "You don't have to push people, right? That, Ningning..."

"Don't be afraid." Yan Yu comforted her with sound transmission, "It'll be your turn soon."

Then he too leaped out of the hatch, turning into a streak of sword light as he went.

Lin Ning continued to plummet sharply, her vision upside down and chaotic, while her mind was completely dominated by the fear of facing death head-on.

It took her about ten seconds or so to finally react, attempting to fly with Sword Control.

Where was Yan Yu?

Where was Yan Yu? No good, she couldn't find Yan Yu, she had to save herself...

I must survive!

Lin Ning fiercely executed the sword techniques with her hands, and the Green Bamboo Sword quickly turned into a streak of sword light, approaching her rapidly.

"I did it!" Finally engulfed in the sword light, Lin Ning shouted excitedly, "I succeeded!"

"What did you succeed at?" Yan Yu's voice came from beside her, "I'm the one guiding your Sword Flight, otherwise, you would've fallen to your death already."

"...Eh?"

"You do nothing but stare blankly for nearly ten seconds after being thrown out?" Yan Yu taunted her with a chuckle, before suddenly becoming serious, "Hmm, but considering you managed to do that, your performance isn't too bad. A few more tries and you should have it down."

The streak of sword light with Lin Ning in tow caught up with the still-flying plane, entered through the open hatch precisely, and ended the flight smoothly upon landing, without damaging the aircraft.

Lin Ning still seemed a bit shaken, while Yan Yu had already turned his stern gaze towards Su Yunjin:

"We're short on time, let's go, Yun Jin."

"Eh? Wait..." Before Su Yunjin could speak, she was pushed out of the hatch by Yan Yu.

Anna came out from the rear cabin, looking puzzled at the open hatch and the pale-faced girls around, and asked in confusion:

"What are all of you doing?"

"We're practicing," Su Yunjin said with a wry smile.

After practicing three or four times, Lin Ning had managed to master Sword Flight and was now voluntarily practicing extra, helping Yan Yu train their teammates.

Despite having practiced around a dozen times, she had only grasped a faint sense of it, barely able to draw the Coral Tears towards her... Why is there such a huge gap in talent between people?

The streak of sword light suddenly rushed in from outside, dispersed, and revealed Yan Yu's figure, as well as Xie Ruoxi, whom he had thrown onto a chair.

Xie Ruoxi was a complete mess, though unharmed, with a vacant stare, twitching shoulders, and completely slumping in her seat, looking as if she had truly free-fallen from ten thousand meters and splattered into mush upon the ground.

"Seems like I had to scare you to get you to learn," Yan Yu said shaking his head in resignation.

"Ruoxi has learned it already?" Su Yunjin asked in surprise.

"Yes, she has," Yan Yu replied, "I lied to her saying she was too heavy, and my True Yuan was insufficient, so we might as well die together... and then she managed to pull it off."

"Really..." Su Yunjin was somewhat at a loss for words. She wanted to go and comfort the frightened Xie Ruoxi, but then she remembered that she had already mastered Sword Flight, and suddenly, she didn't feel like bothering with her anymore.

"Why did you come out?" Yan Yu asked Anna.

"It's nothing, don't worry about me, you go on with your work," Anna expressed her consciousness as an outsider, indicating she had no intention to pry into the secrets of the Rikoku Cultivator team, and turned to head back to the rear cabin.

"Yun Jin, shall we go?" Yan Yu invited.

"Yeah, let's go," Su Yunjin nodded.

After practicing about ten times, she had basically adapted to the fear of heights, and even felt a subtle sense of security knowing the captain would always save her.

Of course, that sense of security wasn't good, as it would slow down her practice... so she still needed to push herself.

Yeah, I need to push on too!

Thinking this, Su Yunjin stood at the hatch, looked down, and without needing Yan Yu to push her, she closed her eyes and jumped straight down.

"Why is Old Yan still not here?" Liu Longtao said impatiently, "Isn't his surname Yan? Why is he flying so slowly?"

"The plane at ten last night," Ye Jun checked the time. "He should be here soon."

"Soon?" Liu Longtao shook his head, "The Onmyoji crowd has already reached Black Dragon Isle, and we're still here waiting for Old Yan, waiting until the damn sun is almost rising."

"Well, to be fair," Ye Jun reminded him, "it's only about seven hundred kilometers from Beigayi to Black Dragon Isle, but it's over two thousand kilometers from Jinling Prefecture to here. The distance is three times as much."

"Exactly," said Liu Longtao with a stern face. "Why can't he live a bit more to the north? Why does he have to stick around that broken Jinling Prefecture fussing over his Twelve Hairpins?"

"What Twelve Hairpins?" inquired Ye Jun curiously.

"It's nothing," Liu Longtao realized his slip of the tongue and quickly waved his hands, "Give him a call to hurry him up."

"I urged him half an hour ago," said Ye Jun reluctantly.

"Urge him again, tell the pilot to step on it," Liu Longtao waved his hand.

The other members were snickering, Ye Jun helplessly took out his phone, about to call, when he saw six streaks of sword light slash across the sky, swiftly landing before them.

Zhenhai Team, all members present. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"You all can perform Sword Flight?" Liu Longtao asked, surprised.

The Dragon Soar Team had three Sword Immortals in its ranks, and Ye Jun was a workaholic; out of five people, four had mastered Sword Flight, now only the spellcaster Yang Linhui lagged behind.

But the Zhenghai Team... had all the Assistant Officers, Envoys, and spellcasters rushed to master flight techniques?

Liu Longtao's gaze swept over Zhao Yuanzhen, Chen Lingyun, and Su Yunjin, finally resting on Xie Ruoxi.

No way, even the substitute has learned it?

"We've arrived," Yan Yu had just landed on the ground, and without rushing to greet anyone, sent a message to Chen Tianming and Li Weiguo, then looked up and asked:

"What's the plan?"

"What else can it be? Let's set out," sighed Liu Longtao indifferently, waving his hand. "First to see the witch."

It was initially assumed that only Yan Yu and Lin Ning from the Zhenhai Team knew how to perform Sword Flight; that is, out of 11 people, only 6 could fly, meaning each of them had to carry an extra companion... Ai Lu and Guo Feiyun even argued over which girl each would carry.

Turned out, all girls from the Zhenhai Team could fly, which made the Dragon Soar Team, on the other hand, lag behind, causing Liu Longtao to feel a bit of subtle frustration.

"Who's carrying Old Yang?" he asked Ai Lu and Guo Feiyun.

"Ai Lu should," Guo Feiyun promptly stated.

"I won't argue with Old Guo; Old Guo has a bit more True Yuan, let him carry," Ai Lu quickly added.

"You two are big idiots!" Yang Linhui was instantly dumbfounded, "Valuing beauty over friendship, huh?"

"Forget it, I'll do it," Liu Longtao didn't want to waste words and swept up Yang Linhui in a flash of sword light.

The remaining three exchanged glances for a moment before turning into streaks of sword light and took to the sky.

The Zhenhai Team quickly followed suit, with Yan Yu carrying Anna to the forefront of the formation, looking down at the undulating mountains and forests.

Suddenly, illusions sprang to life in his mind — as if the one flying with him was not Anna, but the famous Eclipse Queen from years later, giving him a devilish smile:

"Look down there, Yan Love Concubine, these are the lands I have conquered for you."

"Pick a forest. From now on, you'll live here with me, and you won't be going anywhere else..."

Yan Yu shook off the illusion sharply, cursing himself for scaring his own mind.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked, puzzled.

"Nothing," Yan Yu replied nonchalantly, "The wind got in my eyes."

"Do you want me to blow it for you?" Anna immediately offered, eager to try.

"No, no, no, flying on a Flying Sword here!" Seeing her mouth approaching, Yan Yu quickly stopped her, "Don't mess around!"
