Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 787 - 38 Little Brother-in-law, how are you feeling now?

The Shaolin Scripture Pavilion had its Sweeping Monk, whose depth in Inner Strength was immeasurable;

The True Obscurity Sword Sect also had its Gatekeeper Taoist, whose mastery in swordsmanship was equally profound and terrifying—Yan Yu realized at a glance that the Gatekeeper Taoist’s Cultivation Realm was at least that of a Golden Core Master, who was merely limited by the current Spiritual Energy Concentration of the Mysterious Realm and thus unable to unleash his full strength.

However, the formidability of a Golden Core Sword Immortal lay not only in the greater strength and speed of their Flying Sword but also in their rich experience in actual swordfight combat, and the wide array of exquisite and unpredictable sword techniques they had seen, which were incomparable to those of the Sword Immortals who had not achieved Core Formation—of course, this was excluding natural sword technique prodigies and Reincarnators with memories of two lifetimes.

The Huang Ting Sword clashed with the Red Sword, and the force transmitted along the blade was almost irresistible, nearly causing it to be flung away on the spot. Yan Yu swiftly transitioned into the Triple Cloud Strike, and with the full force of True Yuan behind it, he managed to drive the Huang Ting Sword down with great force, just barely stabilizing his balance. Then the Azure Sword charged from the side, and the Liangyi Sword immediately performed Cang Song Ying Ke to intercept.

The interception was successful, but it got knocked away. If the Huang Ting Sword, as a heavy sword, couldn’t withstand the Golden Core Sword Immortal’s Flying Sword, then how could the Liangyi Sword stand a chance? It immediately lost its balance and was sent flying away.

Seizing the chance, the Red Sword thrust forward, while the Huang Ting Sword executed White Crane Spreads Wings to block, but it was entangled by the gentle pull of the Azure Sword.

At this time, the Liangyi Sword was still mid-air, unable to return to assist. Just as he was about to be impaled by the Red Sword, Yan Yu’s footsteps abruptly hastened, sidestepping to avoid.

The Red Sword’s thrust missed, and suddenly changed tactics to a rotating downward slash. Yan Yu stepped back once more to avoid, the sword tip grazing inches from his throat. The Red Sword’s slashing force neared completion, but then tilted in a curve, and immediately followed by another downward slash.

Eagle Strikes the Sky!

The swordplay resembled the fierce dive of an eagle catching a rabbit, allowing for multiple consecutive slashes in a short time. The high frequency of slashes made it extremely difficult to defend against with a sword, let alone the fact that Yan Yu didn’t have his Flying Sword nearby at that moment!

He retreated once again, eluding the slash. The Red Sword’s strike hit nothing, and its hilt spun around harshly to smash forward, which Yan Yu narrowly avoided by leaning back his head, as the Red Sword took the opportunity to adjust and suddenly execute a reverse slash from below, aiming precisely within the blind spot of Yan Yu’s line of sight while tilting his head back.

But Yan Yu was a veteran of battles; each time his vision shifted, his Divine Sense would sweep through the blind spots. Sensing the inverted strike from the Flying Sword, his body violently lay back, and then with a push from his feet, the Cloud Bagua Step was activated, shifting his body several meters to the side.

Just as he was about to get up, the Red Sword already pursued, with the Overlord Splitting Mountains descending from the sky, which was dispersed by another retreat from Yan Yu, striking the floor tiles into fragments and sparks flying.

The Liangyi Sword had also finally stabilized. Yan Yu manipulated the Sword Technique, but instead of calling back the sword to defend, he charged straight toward the Gatekeeper Taoist.

The Gatekeeper Taoist strung sword techniques one after another, with the Red Sword continuing to pursue Yan Yu, meanwhile, the Azure Sword swung away from the Huang Ting Sword in an attempt to turn back and defend.

Up until this point, Li Minghu, who had been present and yet to make a move, finally launched a sword attack like lightning!

She had been watching clearly from the side: both Yan Yu and the Gatekeeper Taoist were using Dual Sword Control, and due to the difference in their cultivation progress, Yan Yu was essentially at a disadvantage in the Swordsmanship Combat—but fortunately, his Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step made up for agility, thus preventing the Gatekeeper Taoist from utterly overpowering and Blast Killing him.

Li Minghu was alone and wielding only one sword; if she rashly joined the fight, she could at most barely even the situation. So she had yet to strike, merely shifting her position constantly, presenting a posture as if she was about to take action at any moment.

Although the Gatekeeper Taoist was quite arrogant and braggadocious with his words, his sword technique was meticulous and precise. Every time Li Minghu adopted the stance ready to strike at any time, he would adjust his position accordingly, preparing to respond to her sword attack.

The Valkyrie also had a natural aptitude in the way of swordsmanship and immediately realized that the potential deterrence she posed could have a better effect than directly assisting Yan Yu, thus shifting her position at critical moments of the battle and intentionally forming the Sword Technique with her hands to distract the opponent and seize part of his attention.

Now that the Liangyi Sword turned back to assault the Gatekeeper Taoist himself, Li Minghu finally made her move!

The Sky Flash Sword transformed into a beam of golden light, intercepting the Azure Sword attempting to return to defense, buying time for the Liangyi Sword’s assassination!

"Good!" the Gatekeeper Taoist shouted loudly.

What he praised was not their swordplay, but their cooperation. Yan Yu’s use of the Liangyi Sword to assassinate him was a spontaneous reaction, but the fact that Li Minghu could seize the opportunity to assist in an instant was no longer just a simple matter of cooperation or tacit understanding but could be described as reading each other’s minds!

Regrettably, the experience was still too lacking!

The Azure Sword executed Bai Niao Chao Feng, attempting to bypass the Sky Flash Sword’s restraint. Li Minghu immediately worked her Sword Technique, urging the Sky Flash Sword to continue blocking the path, but unexpectedly, the Azure Sword suddenly shifted direction with Bai Niao Chao Feng, making a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, and was now heading straight for Li Minghu!

In the blink of an eye, Li Minghu suddenly realized: the actual target was herself!

After the direction was reversed, the Sky Flash Sword and the Red Sword became front and back, plus the Gatekeeper Taoist’s cultivation was stronger and his Flying Swords moved even faster and more fiercely. Seeing that hoping for the Sky Flash Sword to defend was already too late, Li Minghu was about to dodge with the Shifting Technique, but from the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a golden thread sweeping over!

Puppet Azhen spewed out the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, forcefully repelling the Red Sword about to strike her. The Gatekeeper Taoist became enraged and yelled:

"As a Sword Immortal, to actually employ such petty tricks with puppets!"

He fully energized the two swords, sword light blazing, ready to directly overpower and annihilate through cultivation advantage. Meanwhile, Yan Yu had already reached Li Minghu’s side, scooped her up around the waist, and dashed towards the side entrance.
