Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

```

Messages from outside the Mysterious Realm couldn't be transmitted into it.

Therefore, Yan Yu had no idea that his title of "Yan Zhanlong" wouldn't hang around for long and was soon to be changed to "Yan Fei Jiang."

Of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't have objected. At most he would have sighed and said, "My titles change too swiftly!"

Putting the matter of titles aside for now, there were still many people he needed to shark.

Suddenly engaging in Sword Flight, Yan Yu transformed into a torrential sword light as he swiftly swept over the battlefield.

Shenyuan Guang? I remember this person was Shenyuan's brother, it seems. In my past life, he was killed by Lord Master.

But the problem is, based on my previous life's experience, those who got involved with that brat basically never had a good end.

Yan Yu's sword light suddenly plunged down, aiming straight for Shenyuan Guang at the center of the battlefield!

"Careful!" Deputy commander Sato Akihide hurried to protect his charge, stepping in front of Shenyuan Guang, his body sinking slightly, right hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, ready to draw his blade and slash out at any moment.

The sword light was heading straight for Shenyuan Guang, the intense murderous intent almost making Sato Akihide's hairs stand on end.

In an instant, his arm burst forth with power from a stationary position, his blade drawn to meet the incoming sword light directly!

Samurai might not be able to control swords, but their sword-drawing also had a bright and dazzling light. Their extraordinary power surged along the blade, granting this sword slash the mighty force needed to block techniques of Sword Control!

However, the moment the sword edge swung out, Sato Akihide felt something was wrong because he didn't feel the sensation of the blade striking flesh.

Just as Yan Yu was about to enter his attack range, he suddenly shifted angle slightly, so that he just "brushed past" the edge of his sword light, killing past his left side instead.

Behind him, the cries of his comrades resounded. Sato Akihide quickly turned around, only to see two Onmyoji collapsed on the ground, the Huang Tingjian having slit one's throat and then pierced through the head of the other.

Sato Akihide's eyes nearly burst with rage. Being chosen as Shenyuan Guang's deputy commander, he naturally had a basic tactical awareness. He immediately realized that these two weren't killed instantly due to being weak...

but because the opponent took advantage of the last moment to make an emergency change of direction, using the bright light of his own drawn sword as cover, rendering their comrades unable to see the sword light's change in direction clearly!

Once the sword light separated from the sword glare, and everyone could see where the sword light was headed, it was too late to respond urgently.

Yan Zhanlong was indeed cunning and sly, actually making use of my sword-draw!

The rules of the Yin Yang Bureau were "absolute supremacy of pure strength". So, theoretically, Sato Akihide shouldn't think that the enemy was too cunning and sly, but he couldn't help having such a thought involuntarily.

Yan Yu on the other side easily killed two people, turned his head expressionlessly, not bothering to speak any scornful words, and again turned into sword light to continue the killing.

Sato Akihide thought that this time he couldn't make the same mistake. He had to replace drawing his sword with dodging, so as not to affect his comrades' line of sight in catching the sword light... No, he must not move!

Shenyuan Guang was intently commanding his Shikigami to attack the Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper. If Yan Zhanlong didn't alter his sword path this time and killed through the space from which he dodged, what then?

In the blink of an eye, between the lives of his comrades and the safety of Shenyuan Guang, Sato Akihide subconsciously chose the latter.

What followed was a sense of powerlessness, a furious rage from having his weakness completely perceived by the opponent.

Swallowing his humiliation and rage, he drew his sword with all his might. As he was about to meet the incoming sword light, suddenly he stepped forward, and the sword light instantly surged forward again.

Yet, he still struck emptiness.

Sato Akihide's cunning was ineffective. Yan Yu reacted in advance and shifted his sword path, still brushing past his sword glare, now targeting three Onmyoji to his right.

Having witnessed the tragic fate of their two comrades, these three had already prepared to defend themselves the moment the sword light rushed toward Sato Akihide.

But even on guard, they were still dazzled by the sword glare, slow to react for a moment, and their options for response were limited.

The ninja to the left threw a smoke bomb at his feet, his hands forming rapid signs, the mist spreading instantly.

This mist not only obscured vision but even blocked the divine sense of cultivators. Yet, Yan Yu's sword light hesitated not one bit as it plunged into the fog before veering out to stab through the chest of the Onmyoji on the right, blood spraying wildly!

The momentum of the sword light unabated, it thrust directly towards the Samurai standing at the rear.

The Samurai braced himself, not budging or dodging, concentrated his energy, and roared as he drew his sword to face the Huang Tingjian's sword light head-on. But in the end, the gap in cultivation realms was too large, and he was struck head-on by Yan Yu, who shattered his sword and sliced both the man and his weapon in twain.

```

Behind the sword light, with no one to spur it on, the bewildering smoke had already dissipated, revealing the corpse of the ninja with his throat slit, crumpled on the ground.

The surrounding Onmyoji, upon seeing this, were all shaken to their core, their expressions revealing indescribable horror, some even involuntarily felt the impulse to flee.

This gap in strength... there's absolutely no way we can win!

Of course, escaping was not an option. The rules within the Yin Yang Bureau were strict; deserters, even if they survived, would be captured and executed.

Thus, without needing Sato Akihide to give any orders, everyone around him let out an enraged shout and, disregarding the six-armed demon god, focused all sorts of attacks on Yan Zhanlong.

It's a fight to the death!

Yan Yu instantly increased his ethereal movement, dashing to the right of an Onmyoji's body that hadn't completely hit the ground, grabbed her shoulder, and swiftly spun around, blocking all incoming shuriken and crossbow bolts, then transformed into a streak of sword light speeding off, shifting quickly to the left, causing all the spell attacks to trail behind him on the right side.

The Onmyoji hurriedly calculated where to aim next, setting their sights on his anticipated path. But Yan Yu seemed to have predicted this, suddenly defying physics with an instantaneous change of direction to the right, once again leaving all the attacks behind him.

"Use area-of-effect spells!" someone shouted.

The Onmyoji who specialized in spells snapped out of their daze, about to quickly unleash massive area spells for indiscriminate bombardment, when they saw Yan Yu abruptly change direction and charge again, heading for the third time towards Sato Akihide... and Shenyuan Guang behind him.

Shenyuan Guang was still focused on directing his Shikigami to slay, leaving Sato Akihide no choice but to bellow furiously, drawing his sword for the third time in a flying slash!

Before the sword light could clash with the blade light, a whirling torrent suddenly spun beneath their feet, wrapping around Sato Akihide in an instant, tossing and turning him up into the sky!

Rolling back time by about ten seconds, Yang Yu, without a word, left behind the phrase "I won't be held back by you" and directly initiated sword flight into the sky, leaving the girls feeling somewhat indignant.

Sure, we can't beat you! But to say we're "holding you back" is an exaggeration, isn't it?

Someone like Zhao Yuanzhen, who couldn't stand the slightest provocation, had already taken mental note of this in her heart, vowing revenge in the future... No, wrong! She wanted revenge now! She was going to make sure blood flowed like rivers!

"Ling Yun!" she called out fiercely.

"Let's go too," Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

"Let's go!" the girls cried out in unison, sharing a common enemy.

"Lin, go left one, Zhao, go right one," Chen Lingyun quickly said, "Ruoxi, you learn first, you'll join later."

Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen rapidly surged forward with ethereal movement, alerting the surrounding Onmyoji, who quickly redirected their firepower from the Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper to these two girls charging in front.

A ninja aimed a shuriken at Lin Ning with his right hand, while his left hand swiftly formed a seal. The shuriken split into two, then four, then eight... in an instant it exploded into more than a hundred, densely packed like a hail of arrows, filling all the space around her, sealing off her escape.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! Although it's seen as a novice move in anime, the blades were all imbued with corrosive, potent poison, meant to counteract the defense of the Rikoku Cultivators' Earth-Element Sturdiness Curse.

But Lin Ning was no ordinary cultivator; her Divine Sense immediately detected the anomaly, and the light from the Green Bamboo Sword burst forth, rapidly swirling around her and propelling her into the sky, evading the rain of blades while fiercely attacking the ninja who unleashed it from behind.

That ninja hadn't expected the existence of Sword Flight, a novelty that had only recently appeared; in a panic, he threw down a smoke screen at his feet, and the purple mist quickly spread, completely obscuring his form.

"Left," Chen Lingyun transmitted her voice individually.

The azure sword light instantly plunged from the sky, and suddenly, a figure burst from the left side of the smoke—Chen Lingyun had directed several invisible dogs to charge into the mist, colliding with the ninja caught off guard and knocking him out into the open—Lin Ning did not hesitate to execute a sword flight slash, piercing his chest in an instant.

To the right, Zhao Yuanzhen faced off against a brawny, well-built samurai, with muscles as strong as those of a Body Cultivating Cultivator from Lu Country, possessing exceptional defense.

The opponent had already set himself, ready to draw his sword for a head-on clash with the Demonic Sect Enchantress, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

Su Yunjin quietly executed Lang Feiyun's spell, creating a torrent of water that materialized out of thin air, turning into a high-pressure water jet that pushed the samurai from behind. In his confusion, he managed to swing his sword, only to have Zhao Yuanzhen grab his wrist, the power of Curved Curse enhancing her strength, and with a great swing, she spun him up into the air.

The Demonic Sect Enchantress demonstrated astonishing combat wisdom. Having been frequently beaten up close by Yan Yu during training, she had mastered the fighting techniques of the Yan family. First, she spun the samurai around, using him to block the incoming attacks aimed at her, and then with a forceful throw, she hurled him upwards as her left hand quickly changed into a sword technique.

The Yin Wind Sword whistled down like a vengeful spirit seeking lives, chopping down at the samurai with countless strikes... in an instant, it wasn't clear how many times she had slashed, but the samurai's body erupted with blood, shaking violently, as he was cut from the air and slammed to the ground.

Before he could recover, the sword light pierced through his chest, passing straight through his heart, pinning him dead to the earth.

Although Su Yunjin had supported Zhao Yuanzhen, she kept a constant watch on Yan Yu's situation. Suddenly, she turned around and gave Sato Akihide a surprise attack—Jiaochong immediately surged, lifting him high into the sky.

"Stay focused," Chen Lingyun transmitted, "You don't need to worry about him."

"Sure," replied Su Yunjin casually, turning back around.
