Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 413 Be mine

The golden silkworm Gu with hundreds of poisons in the previous life would terrify most cultivators, but in Yan Yu's eyes, it was nothing to be afraid of.

The insect's only means of attack is to attack in a straight line. It can't even move in an arc or make feints. It is too simple and mechanical. There is no insect monk behind it to command it, so it is not difficult to defend against its attacks.

But Tang Xiaolian couldn't do it.

I'm not afraid of great opponents, I'm afraid of idiot teammates. Given this little girl's reaction speed and swordsmanship, she probably couldn't withstand the attack of the golden silkworm Gu at all. Yan Yu could only use most of his energy to protect her and try to quickly get her through the flower field.

When the poisonous golden silkworm Gu attacks, it first hovers in the air, chirps for a moment, opens and closes its fangs, and reveals its ferocious appearance. Then it turns into a golden light and pounces fiercely. If it hits a person, it will immediately create a bloody hole. The poison will seep into the wound, flow through the body along the meridians, and finally enter the heart, killing the person instantly.

Seeing that the vicious insect was always pounced on, it was knocked away by the Huangting Sword in the next second. Tang Xiaolian was a little scared at first, but gradually she calmed down and gathered her courage. She continued to hold Yan Yu's hand and asked curiously:
"Captain Yan, can you kill it?"

"No." Yan Yu shook his head.

"Why?" Tang Xiaolian was puzzled. "Can't you completely defend against its attacks?"

"There is no means of counterattack." Yan Yu replied.

Invulnerable to swords and spears, and invulnerable to water and fire, it was destined that the only thing capable of countering the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu in the world was either some method of sealing and trapping the enemy, or a supremely powerful divine sword technique. Even Xie Ruoxi's Divine Thunder, renowned for its all-around lethality and ability to control the flesh, was only at the Marrow Cleansing stage, so Yan Yu wasn't sure if she could defeat the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu.

Only me! Even though this vicious insect's power is overwhelming, I can still remain invincible. Strong!
Yan Yu was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a strange female voice from the surrounding flower fields, sometimes far away, sometimes near, vague and uncertain:

"The second assessment involves actual combat. Your swordsmanship is already qualified, but your companions didn't make a move. This allowed you to fool the stone gate checkpoint ahead, but it won't work against me."

"I am the one who pursues the inheritance of Changmei." Yan Yu replied in a deep voice, "She is not."

The female voice smiled faintly and continued:

"Since she came in with you, she must undergo a swordsmanship test. This is the rule here. You can either find a way to make her pass the actual combat, or take her back home and come alone next time."

Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to Tang Xiaolian and said:
"Let's go back."

"At least let me try!" Tang Xiaolian immediately went crazy and shook his hand off. "My swordsmanship is not bad either. Why don't you even give it a try and just say I can't beat you?"

"Then you go and try it." Yan Yu said.

"Let's try it." Tang Xiaolian pinched the sword gesture with her hand, and the Taoyao sword turned into a pink stream of light, killing the golden silkworm Gu that was rushing towards her.

There was another crisp sound of metal clashing, and the attack of the Golden Silkworm Gu, which was a hundred poisons, was blocked by the Huangting Sword. The pink light missed and froze in place, just like Tang Xiaolian's embarrassed expression.

Yan Yu:………………

Tang Xiaolian: ………………

"Go back." Yan Yu said again, this time with a much firmer tone.

"I don't want to!" Tang Xiaolian refused to admit defeat. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said coquettishly, "Captain Yan, please help me! You are so powerful, please teach me some swordsmanship so that I can pass this level, okay?"

"I beg you!"

Yan Yu felt a bit of a headache after hearing this. After all, to beg someone, one must first reveal himself... No, mainly you are not from our team, nor are you a sword immortal. What's the point of passing this sword test?

But on second thought, helping this little girl is not completely without benefits.

Everyone knows Zhou Hongyu is a relentless fighter, stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and she's completely reckless in a fight. If Li Minghu in her previous life was exhausted to death, then she committed suicide, making the tragedy less tragic and more humorous.

Li Minghu and Yan Yu were still on good terms, so it would be easy for him to intervene in her fate later. However, Zhou Hongyu was still stubborn and might not even reply to three messages. Although he and she were not completely estranged, Yan Yu had no firm grasp on how to change her fate.

If I could develop this Tang Xiaolian into my own... For example, secretly tipping me off within the Fire Phoenix Team, helping me build a closer relationship with Xiao Zhou, or even calling on me to save the situation at a critical moment? Okay, let's do it!

"I can give you some guidance." Yan Yu said.

Tang Xiaolian was immediately delighted, and heard him say:
“But you can’t point fingers in vain.”

"But I helped you find this place." Tang Xiaolian said quickly.

"That was to repay the favor I gave you for teaching you how to cleanse your marrow." Yan Yu corrected himself while flying his sword again to knock away the poisonous golden silkworm Gu.

"Don't be so stingy as a grown man!" Tang Xiaolian shouted.

"I can't hear you," Yan Yu said pretentiously. "Oh, the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu is here again. I have to defend against its attack. I don't have time to talk to you anymore."

Tang Xiaolian puffed up her cheeks again, thought angrily for a long time, and asked tentatively:
"Then can I owe Captain Yan another favor?"

Yan Yu originally wanted to "make Tang Xiaolian owe me a favor", but he didn't expect that she would actually bring it up herself. This girl is quite sensible!
"Okay." He nodded rather reservedly.

Tang Xiaolian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Captain Yan had no intention towards me in that regard. Fortunately, I would not betray Captain Zhou... Although Captain Yan was indeed powerful, domineering, reliable, and a handsome man of the same age, I, Tang Xiaolian, would be a member of the Fire Phoenix Team in life and a ghost of the Fire Phoenix Team in death!

However, since I owe Captain Yan a favor, I can take this opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with him - I mean friendship. After all, more friends mean more paths. Given Captain Yan's strength and status, being friends with him will at least open up thousands of paths for me, and my future life will certainly become more and more extensive.

"I'm ready." Tang Xiaolian pinched the sword gesture with his hands and said in a deep voice.

Seeing the golden light coming towards him again, Yan Yu said in a deep voice:
"A white rainbow penetrates the sun."

"What is a white rainbow piercing the sun?" asked Tang Xiaolian.

Yan Yu almost fell down on the spot. He quickly urged the Huangting Sword to intercept the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu and asked:

"No, don't you read the sword-controlling textbook?"

"I'm not looking at it." Tang Xiaolian was puzzled. "I'm not a sword immortal, why would I look at that?"

Yan Yu was speechless and choked. After a while, he recovered his breath and taught her earnestly:

"It depends. As a cultivator who isn't a Sword Immortal, we don't expect you to master the sword technique, but you still need to know the four entry-level sword techniques. For attack, use White Rainbow Piercing the Sun; for containment, use Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix; for interception, use Cang Song Welcoming Guests; and for blocking, use Ye Zhan Ba Fang. Mastering these four sword techniques will only benefit you, not harm you."

"Captain Zhang also mentioned these four introductory moves." Tang Xiaolian also remembered and explained to Yan Yu, "But he said that Magic Cultivation and Sword Immortal are required to learn, while Assistant Officers and Envoys don't have to learn them. After all, our responsibilities are not to output. Learning them is just icing on the cake, not a timely help."

"Xiao Zhang knows nothing!" Yan Yu immediately cursed. "He can't even beat Ning Ning from our team, and he's still misleading us! If you don't learn these four basic moves, how will you protect yourselves if you're alone? Will the enemy hold back just because you're not a DPS class?"

"Hahaha." Tang Xiaolian laughed dryly and continued, "Captain Zhang also explained that if we were left alone, it would be a major tactical error for the team. Even if we learned the four basic moves, we might not be able to defeat a DPS class alone. It would be better to use our limited time and energy to improve our own abilities so that we can better cooperate with the team's tactics. In the future, when we have free time, we can slowly learn the basics of sword control."

"What if the team system is abolished in the future?" Yan Yu sneered, "If the teams are disbanded, how will you protect yourself if you go into battle alone?"

"Huh?" Tang Xiaolian was puzzled. "The team won't disband, right?"

Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said:
"Never mind, let me show you. The so-called White Rainbow Piercing the Sun is actually very simple; it's just a long-distance thrust. This move has three variations: pure straight line, straight ahead and curved, and curved ahead and straight ahead. The pure straight line White Rainbow Piercing the Sun is the fastest to engage the enemy; curved ahead and straight ahead has a longer acceleration distance, so it's more lethal; and the straight ahead and curved ahead makes an emergency turn in the second half of the sword's path, often used in situations where you need to divert attention or make a feint to the east and attack in the west. It's considered a deceptive tactic."

"Wait, let me write it down!" Tang Xiaolian quickly took out her phone and started typing, muttering, "White rainbow piercing the sun, three variations..."

"What are you writing about?" Yan Yu snatched her phone away. "There's no time for you to take notes on the battlefield! Fly your flying sword and imitate my sword moves!"

"Look carefully, this is the white rainbow piercing the sun!"
