Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

In the midst of vagueness, it felt as if his whole body was drenched in sweat.

Yan Yu raised his head with a ferocious expression, his Flying Sword swiftly cutting through the steel forest. The voice of the coordinator came through his earpiece:

"...continue straight ahead, turn right at the crossroads ahead."

"Follow the northbound Tongjiangnan Road, 300 meters to reach site number 7, your last mission for today. I wish you success."

His sword light flew faster and faster, switching from Sword Flight to Sword-Human Unity. The foreign True Yuan, like burning molten lava, was mechanically compressed, pumped out, and injected into his Dantian. It then ignited all of his meridians, making every cell in his body tremble and moan.

The Military Manor ahead was already a field of corpses.

The civilian Cultivators had already stormed the Manor, aiming for a batch of Elixir Medicine stored inside. The military Cultivators stationed within were putting up a valiant resistance, but they were few in number and on the verge of being wiped out.

The sword light suddenly burst onto the battlefield!

Slash! Chop! Cut! Shave! Slash again! Carve!

Stab! In the blink of an eye, seven civilian Cultivators were slain.

Yan Yu altered his hand gesture slightly, shaking off the sticky blood from his sword, and was about to step into the government hall when suddenly he staggered.

A feeling of indescribable weakness and powerlessness began to slowly spread from his lower abdomen, where the Dantian was located.

"Is there something wrong with your body?" the coordinator, seeing the data was incorrect, cried out in shock, "I've requested a replacement. Go to a safe place and rest!"

"No, I'll do it," Yan Yu said, pulling out an injection from his waist and administering it cleanly into his left arm vein. "There are too many enemies; they won't be able to handle it."

"Calm down, Comrade Yan!" the coordinator urged in a rush, "You've already taken three suppressants today! Another injection won't last much longer and will only cause your body to collapse!"

"Then have the emergency team wait for me at the entrance." Yan Yu once again merged with his sword and charged into the Manor, passing through countless corridors and rooms. Blood and sword light interweaved, and cries of agony rose and fell.

As the number of suppressants injected in the short term increased, the body's resistance to the medication grew stronger, and the time the Dantian could accommodate external True Yuan grew shorter.

His body was burning out even more intensely, but his consciousness became colder and clearer. His Divine Sense swept like a relentless radar, frantically scanning and seeking out enemies, laying out numerous potential paths in his mind, dense and numerous, as if branded in his vision, impossible to dispel.

...Just need to kill them all before my body collapses...

Kill them all!

Suddenly, the wall burst open, and Yan Yu's sword light thrust forward desperately, barely countered by the Cultivator leader's Flying Sword. The formidable power of Sword-Human Unity pushed the opponent, smashing through wall after wall, until they burst out of the Manor and onto the artificial lake, creating two towering waves!

The momentum came to a stop, and sword and man separated. Yan Yu threw a punch directly at the chest, which the opponent dodged by stepping aside. The opponent took several quick steps back and threw out a defensive artifact resembling an umbrella.

Just as the golden light shield appeared, it was fiercely struck by Yan Yu's sword light, followed by a punch with the Curved Curse technique, causing cracks to appear on the shield. He then connected with the Eagle Strike sword technique, one two three four five!

The sword light changed and struck five times in quick succession, all precisely hitting the same spot, eventually smashing the shield to pieces from the outside by brute force!

As the shield shattered, a thousand dazzling golden flowers burst forth, blindingly bright! Yan Yu instinctively closed his eyes, but his Divine Sense suddenly alarmed, his head jerked aside as if something grazed his cheek. Soon, a faint sting was felt. He immediately opened his eyes, but all he saw were blinding lights and afterimages, unable to clearly see anything.

Fortunately, his Divine Sense was still working perfectly, it locked onto the enemy's figure unfailingly. His stepping technique propelling him from the ground, he picked up speed, leapt, and performed a Sword Flight slash!

The sword light pierced through the Cultivator leader's chest, then diagonally into the ground ahead. Yan Yu tumbled out of the light, clumsy and disoriented, and fell to the ground. His True Yuan depleted, his strength exhausted, and pain all over his body, his limbs numbed as if they no longer belonged to him.

With effort, he propped his body up with his arms, but his palms slipped in the muddy soil by the riverbank, and he plunged face down into the mud, the foul and rotting smell invading his mouth and nose. After gasping desperately for a moment, he exerted strength again to push himself off the ground, and finally managed to stagger up.

Spitting out the mud in his mouth, his other hand grasped the sword hilt. Divine Sense once again sought out enemies to confirm the direction. Dizzily turning around, he dragged the heavy body of the Huang Tingjian, his steps faltering and staggering, to the side of the Cultivator leader.

The other party was not yet dead, reaching for the Elixir Medicine at his waist, but no longer had the strength. Seeing Yan Yu, broken and blind, approach, he knew his death was certain, yet he said with a malicious smile:

"Good! Good! Good! You can kill me, but can you exterminate all the Cultivators under the sky! Sooner or later, someone will capture your family, flay them, draw out their tendons, extract their souls, refine their spirits....."

Before he finished speaking, the Huang Tingjian heavily chopped down!

The Cultivator leader was still blurting out curses incoherently, but soon it turned to wailing and begging for mercy, and finally, silence ensued. Yan Yu continued to lift the heavy sword rigidly and numbly, chopped down, lifted the sword again, and chopped down... until the body was mutilated beyond any human likeness.

Only then did he plunge the heavy sword into the ground, his hands barely supporting the sword blade, leaning on it to prevent himself from falling.

Are there any more enemies...

His body was on the verge of passing out, his consciousness sinking into an abyss, yet strangely, his rationality seemed to float upwards as if his soul was about to depart from his shell.

Kill, kill, kill...

Something landed behind him with a thud. Yan Yu suddenly gripped his sword with both hands and forcefully pulled it out, intending to use the spin of his body to slash at the newcomer. However, for some reason, he missed, and then two pairs of arms firmly held him down from left and right. A somewhat familiar voice rang out:

"Medical team! Comrade Yan, we're from the medical team! Don't be agitated! All the enemies are dead, and we've finished clearing the scene. You can rest now... "

The rest was unclear...

......

Yan Yu slowly opened his eyes, the morning sun streaming through the window grilles casting a subtly warm glow on his face.

I'm so tired.

Every time he dreamed of a battle memory, he would wake up extremely exhausted—not with physical soreness and weakness, but a fatigue that stemmed from the soul.

Can I stop dreaming about battles? I just want to live a peaceful life now!

Yan Yu sat up in bed, the fragrance left by Zhao Yuanzhen seemed to still linger by the bedside.

That's right, last night she soaked in the hot spring too late and only came to find me for dual cultivation and breathing exercises in the middle of the night. We cultivated until two in the morning...

No wonder I dreamed—we were still practicing at two in the morning! I was dead tired, and her True Yuan continued to pour into me. How could I not dream?

Of course, I'd dream about past memories! When I used to store Spiritual Energy in an external device, I had this annoying feeling of being continuously infused with someone else's True Yuan!

After washing up in the bathroom, Yan Yu decided the Demonic Sect Enchantress was fully to blame for the nightmare. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door from outside:

"Captain! The driver is here to pick us up for the club!"

Yan Yu went to the door and swiftly opened it, startling Lin Ning who was about to knock again. Regaining her composure, she huffily gave a light kick, which Yan Yu casually dodged.

"Why do you walk without making a sound?" Lin Ning asked him.

"Is it possible that it's your ears that are bad?" Yan Yu countered.

"Pfft, it's your ears that are bad!" Lin Ning turned and walked away, throwing back, "Hurry up and gather at the entrance!"

Yan Yu left the room and arrived at the villa's entrance, seeing two cars parked there. The girls hadn't boarded yet and were chitchatting away.

"The captain's here," Su Yunjin said with a smile, "Let's get in the car."

"Let's go!" Zhao Yuanzhen said with a flourish of her hand, as she and Xie Ruoxi got into the car.

The other three girls didn't move. Su Yunjin and Lin Ning seemed to be plotting something as they looked at Yan Yu.

Seeing through their scheme, Yan Yu took the front passenger seat in the car with Zhao and Xie, to the great disappointment of the two girls.

Chen Lingyun watched, amused, then joined the other two girls in the second car, and they all set off for the club.

The Shijingshan Club doesn't have an official name to the public. Operating on a members-only basis and expanding clientele solely through member referrals, it has no need for any advertising. The clientele, wealthy and prestigious, proves that membership itself is an indicator of status.

Upon reaching the club's entrance, the person taking over the cars turned out to be Ye Jun.

The girl wore makeup and sunglasses, looking charming and sexy. She greeted the ladies with a smile:

"Captain Liu had something come up at home today and couldn't make it. I'll be hosting you all today, haha."
