Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 812: Thank you for your steady performance

Despite the pressure from the surrounding rock walls, Yan Yu's Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique still had a significant slowing effect.

Xie Ruoxi's anxiety was also justified, because the current water supply was far from sufficient, and the rock passage ahead was still very long. In the short term, there was no other possibility of being buried in the mountainside.

It would be incredibly shameful for three Golden Core cultivators to perish in such a place. Even if Yan Yu had a third chance at rebirth, he would never allow himself to die such a humiliating death.

"Quick!" Yan Yu suddenly opened his arms. "Merge!"

Although they didn't know what it meant, Zhou Hongyu and Xie Ruoxi instinctively hugged him from both sides. Yan Yu quickly crossed his legs, clamping them around the waist of the puppet Azhen to secure himself.

The puppet Azhen then violently changed her Daoist incantation, no longer manipulating the waters of the Milky Way to resist the pressure from the surrounding rock walls, but instead focusing all her efforts on blasting everyone forward from behind.

Lang Feiyun!
The Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique is a large-scale, extensive, and crude Daoist method, but that doesn't mean it can't be used with extremely precise manipulation. Fairy Chen Mingyan, who originally taught this method, recorded many moves in the classic texts that can achieve maximum tactical effect with minimal true energy.

The dense, combined barrage of water cannon fire was the same move Su Yunjin used to blast Phoenix out of the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm. Now, with Yan Yu's technique, it was even more formidable. Each strike was powerful and unstoppable, and the direction was perfectly controlled, reminding Zhou Hongyu and Xie Ruoxi of certain unspeakable memories, their cheeks flushing like peaches.

In a vast space, the three were suddenly blasted out by a violent torrent of water.

Behind them, the rock passage slowly closed, eventually forming a seamless rock wall.

Yan Yu stabilized himself on his sword in mid-air, then looked down and saw that the space here was not like the giant flesh and blood serpent, which was a large stomach made up of muscles, blood vessels and connective tissue, but a world of towering mountains.

There were no trees, no snow, and everywhere you looked there were endless rocks, towering mountains, and undulating peaks.

There was no danger in sight, but any cultivator with a brain would not consider this place safe.

Without needing to be reminded, Zhou Hongyu had already begun to perform a hand seal, unleashing a burst of Great Bright Flame towards the surrounding area.

Yan Yu and Xie Ruoxi took the opportunity to consume the pills and restore their true energy. A large number of blazing meteors fell downwards, quickly setting the entire mountainside ablaze.

Crimson demons danced wildly, and black smoke billowed into clouds.

Zhou Hongyu, who has mastered the elite of the acquired fire element, possesses a level of power and endurance in unleashing his Daoist techniques that Yan Yu, a mere novice, cannot match.

The Great Bright Flame quickly spread to every corner of the mountain range. Seeing that Zhou Hongyu was still spewing flames incessantly, threatening to burn the world to ashes, the guy hiding in the shadows finally couldn't stand it any longer.

A dark shadow burst forth from the depths of the mountains and soared into the sky in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Hongyu and Xie Ruoxi's expressions changed drastically. They were pulled by the sudden, powerful gravity, their sword light scattered, and they fell out of control.

At the critical moment, Yan Yu's Yellow Court Sword Light suddenly drifted hundreds of meters to the side without any apparent abnormality. Although his divine sense could not detect anything wrong, he keenly sensed that something had passed through the spot where he had originally been standing.

Invisible matter? Or some form of energy?
Yan Yu's mind raced like lightning. The silver ball fell from his sleeve and instantly transformed into the puppet Azhen. With a light touch of his toes, he unleashed the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step, grabbing the out-of-control Xie Ruoxi as he fell, and then reaching for Zhou Hongyu—but she suddenly vanished from the spot in a flash.

The Nine Numbers of Fire Release!

She used Fire Release technique to teleport to a distant sea of ​​fire, quickly escaping the effects of gravity.

The puppet Azhen once again activated the Southern Dipper Star River Secret Technique, using the Wave Flying Cloud to impact itself, instantly carrying Xie Ruoxi hundreds of meters away. Her body also suddenly felt light, as she escaped the range of gravity.

"Be careful," Yan Yu quickly transmitted to the two of them, "His gravity attack is an attack, not a barrier! Watch out for his casting animation!"

The three of them looked up at the sky. The other person had gray hair and a bare chest. He still had the appearance of that bastard, Kambara Shimei, but his expression was blank and his movements and thoughts were like those of a machine, showing the aftereffects of a broken soul to the fullest extent.

The white-haired demon lord raised his hands, his index fingers forming a gun shape, and once again raised his arms to aim at the crowd.

Although the spell's shape was not visible, fortunately, Yan Yu had given a warning, and everyone would immediately dodge whenever the White-Haired Demon Lord aimed at someone.

Yan Yu's sword light was the most elegant, stretching horizontally, falling vertically, and soaring upwards, like a swallow striking the rain or an eagle facing the wind, completely dispelling the strange and invisible attacks.

Zhou Hongyu was used to a strong and domineering style of attacking head-on, and was not actually good at this kind of agile movement. However, the mobility of the Nine Numbers of Fire Escape Technique was strong enough. His figure exploded in the rising flames, and in the next second he teleported to a distance, making it impossible for the white-haired demon lord to aim at him.

Xie Ruoxi was also not good at dodging and weaving, but her voice was loud and full of energy. With just one sentence, "Captain, save me," she could make the puppet Azhen use the Cloud-Splitting Eight Trigrams Step to carry her flying down as if walking on flat ground, and she was not hit by the gravity wave.

Seeing that this method was completely ineffective, the white-haired demon lord suddenly withdrew his palms and made a strange spell gesture.

Before everyone could prepare, a sudden change occurred below, with mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open!
In the midst of a continuous mountain range, a peak suddenly rose abruptly from the ground. Jagged cliffs loomed overhead, rocks rained down, and much of it defied gravity, rising rapidly like a rocket before hurtling directly towards the group!

Yan Yu's sword light shot out instantly, advancing instead of retreating, and crashed headlong into the mountain.

The Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Formation erupted!

Countless sword energy lines surged forth in an instant, initially swirling around Yan Yu, but quickly spreading out over several thousand meters, cutting, grinding, chopping, and slicing, actually carving out a large hole in the very center of that giant mountain.

Zhou Hongyu breathed fire and flashed into existence, while Xie Ruoxi rode her puppet. The two of them quickly returned to Yan Yu's side, dodging the mountain's impact from the center of the large hole.

Emerging from the cave, darkness gave way to light. Before their vision could fully clear, they saw the white-haired demon lord still standing high in the sky, with three mountain peaks rising behind him, one after another crashing down!

"This can't go on!" Zhou Hongyu said irritably. "Cover me!"

Without a word, Yan Yu immediately unleashed the Primordial Chaos Mist, completely enveloping the three of them. This was a defensive magic treasure, but it was being used as a means of concealment. The solidified mist spread out, impenetrable to light and divine sense, making it impossible for anyone on the outside to see inside.

The white-haired demon lord frowned slightly, then suddenly looked down and discovered that his abdomen had been pierced by the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire.

However, Zhou Hongyu, taking advantage of the cover of the Taiqing Yuanqi Smoke and Mist, quietly used the Nine Numbers of Fire Escape Technique to teleport to a distance, and then launched a sneak attack on the White-Haired Demon Lord.

The golden thread struck the dantian (lower abdomen). If an Onmyoji were in this situation, they would most likely have suffered a loss of spiritual energy and perished on the spot.

But the white-haired demon lord did not die immediately. Suddenly, several stones flew down from below, sticking to his abdominal wound like putty. Then came more boulders and cliffs... until the entire mountain range began to sway and crumble. One mountain after another was uprooted, flying into the air, sticking together with the white-haired demon lord to form a huge rocky planet.

Without Yan Yu needing to remind them, everyone immediately unleashed their attacks without reservation, because it was obvious that a rock of this quality, used to seal the White-Haired Demon Lord, was not just for his protection.

Once all the stones in this cave are gathered together, it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly exploded from the inside out, crushing everyone to death.

The Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire pierced through the rocky planet, and the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation swiftly sliced ​​through it. Both were sharp methods for splitting mountains and shattering rocks, but compared to this rocky planet that was a collection of many mountain ranges, it was like trying to cut a giant elephant with a fruit knife, not knowing how long it would take to reach the center.

Xie Ruoxi lifted the puppet Azhen from its arms, flew through the air on her sword, and looked up at the giant rock above her head, thinking that the other party should not attack now.
If you don't attack, it'll be my turn next!
She took out Thor's Cone again and took a deep breath.

These Thor's Cones are also a pair of extraordinary treasures. According to the scientific research department, they belong to a special type with very high limits on both the upper and lower limits of their use.

If someone is someone who can't handle lightning magic, even if they drain all their true energy, they can only produce a crackling electric arc. But in the hands of a cultivator like Xie Ruoxi, who is naturally suited to lightning magic, it's like a hundred-pound golden hammer meeting the innate strength of Li Yuanba.

Only she can use it!
The powerful true energy that made Yan Yu tremble with fear surged wildly from the acupoints on Xie Ruoxi's hands and was then injected into the Thunder God Cone Hammer.

Silvery-white arcs of electricity surged from the top of the cone, quickly weaving the shape of a dragon. This time, Xie Ruoxi had used all her strength, her face and neck turning red from straining. The true energy in her dantian was circulating wildly, and the thunder dragon was stretched to three times its usual length. As soon as it appeared, it let out a long roar and leaped into the air!

The giant dragon rapidly ascended into the sky and charged headlong into the gap created by the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire and the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Formation.

The dragon's head had already plunged deep inside, bursting open, while its body continued to violently penetrate it, causing spiderweb-like radiation cracks to rapidly spread along the planet's surface, with faint golden-red light emanating from the gaps.

That was lightning with extremely high energy density, which forcibly melted all these mountain-sized rocks into scorching, boiling magma!

Zhou Hongyu and Yan Yu were both dumbfounded. They knew Xie Xianzun's talent was extraordinary, but seeing it with their own eyes, they never expected it to be so heaven-defying. "We've been cutting for so long and haven't even cut a third of the radius. This one lightning dragon has blown at least half of it through, and another one might blow it all the way through!"

"Good! It works!" Xie Ruoxi was unaware of the turbulent waves surging in their hearts. She was simply emboldened by the success of the attack and shouted excitedly. She then once again mobilized all her true energy and fiercely struck the lightning cone, pulling out a second giant lightning dragon.

The white-haired demon lord hid on a rocky planet, lost in thought. If he still possessed human emotions, he would most likely have already fled into a trance.

The rocky planet began to tremble violently again. Just like the rocky passage they had traveled through earlier, the cracked passage that had been forcibly blasted open by the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Formation, and the giant thunder dragon was about to close up again under the pressure of the rocks from all directions.

But a second Thunder Dragon pierced through it again!

The dragon shape disintegrated, transforming into pure thunderbolts. Those who touched it at close range would vaporize it instantly, while those who were far away would have a chance to melt it into magma, which would then drip continuously along the cracks.

The corresponding shockwave was still rapidly impacting inwards, and the violent earthquake was tearing at the white-haired demon lord's body, almost shattering it into several pieces.

Xie Ruoxi shouted and struck the Thunder God Cone again. The third giant dragon was about to take shape, but suddenly the rocky planet in the sky collapsed on its own and turned into endless flying rocks and falling rocks, falling uncontrollably.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the surrounding scenery dissipated, revealing the Bohai Sea and the sky. Yan Yu rode his sword light into the rain of stones, circling and soaring for a long time before finally flying back to the two of them.

Liu Longtao, Yang Linhui, and Su Yunjin also arrived on their swords, only to see Yan Yu holding a strangely shaped boulder in both hands, which he then threw away.

Master Jing reached out to catch it. The moment it landed in his hand, the light on his sword instantly diminished, and he uttered a horrified curse:
"Holy crap, what the hell is this? It's so heavy!"

"I don't know," Yan Yu replied. "Most likely it's the heart of a giant snake."

"You'd better keep it safe," Liu Longtao said solemnly, then tossed it to Yang Linhui.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Yang Linhui asked, puzzled, as he struggled to catch it.

"Aren't you happy that I'm giving you credit?" Master Jing retorted.

"Alright." Yang Linhui sighed, turned around, and flew towards Tianjin on his sword.

"We finally managed to defeat the Bohai Giant Serpent, but we didn't even get a reward," Yan Yu sighed dramatically. "At least before there were cash rewards, commendation ceremonies, and honorary titles. Now, there's nothing for making a contribution."

"What other rewards do you want?" Liu Longtao criticized him righteously. "Are you short of money now? Do you still need honor? You are already a divine general of the Lu Kingdom, what other title do you want from the country? The Great General of the Universe? Comrade Lao Yan, I despise you. Your ideological awareness has degenerated. I must despise you severely."

"Don't give me that," Yan Yu laughed. "I don't need any other rewards. Just don't assign me any more work. You can handle the rest of the giant snakes, right?"

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said." Liu Longtao changed the subject. "Now that things are settled here, I should go back and reunite with He Ye."

"Disperse, disperse!" Yan Yu announced directly, transforming into a sword light and fleeing southwards. "Tell Ye Yun for me that we're heading back!"

Su Yunjin, Zhou Hongyu, and Xie Ruoxi exchanged glances for a moment before bidding farewell to Liu Longtao and then flying back to Jinling on their swords.

Liu Longtao chuckled and turned to look at Tianjin Prefecture in the distance. He saw the purple cloud formation in the sky slowly dissipating, gradually calming down like the surging Bohai Sea beneath his feet.
