Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 260 Red-dressed Girl, Secret Realm Goalkeeper

"Then what should we do?" Su Yunjin asked hurriedly.

She tried to examine her inner self and found that she really didn't want to move forward - it was a rare opportunity to sit side by side with the captain on the mountain steps, to talk sweetly, and even to have the chance to sleep on his shoulder. Su Yunjin wished that this time could last a little longer.

But what if this thought is not generated by oneself, but is caused by some external interference?

Thinking of this, Su Yunjin felt a little cold sweat coming out.

"Keep going." Yan Yu made a quick decision. "Since it's trying to stop us from moving forward and even deliberately blocked the sound of the alarm clock, then we should do the opposite. Don't rest and follow the mountain road to the end as quickly as possible!"

"Okay!" Su Yunjin said immediately.

The two of them used their magical speed skills and began to run fast on the mountain road.

The mountain road does indeed spiral up around Tianzhu Mountain. Judging from the surrounding background, it has almost turned five or six times, and its height has exceeded most of the surrounding mountains.

But when I looked up, I still couldn't see any trace of the top of the mountain.

"How high is this pillar of heaven?" Su Yunjin was dumbfounded. Can we really reach the top?
"Whatever," Yan Yu replied quickly, "I made a special note of some of the terrain along the way, and I haven't encountered it again yet."

"So it's not a ghost wall," Su Yunjin said worriedly. "But if the destination is very far away, like it takes three or four months or even half a year, then that's not much different from an infinite loop, right? It's a distance we can't afford."

"It won't be that far." Yan Yu switched to telepathy and said to Su Yunjin, "The restriction on flying with a sword needs to cover the entire secret realm. The larger the secret realm itself, the larger the restriction. It's impossible to make this mountain extremely high and long as you said, and expand the entire secret realm. That's completely uneconomical."

Yan Yu had fought in many secret realms in his previous life, and he could tell that this secret realm was most likely a "test-type secret realm". Otherwise, as long as a large group of enemies were placed on the mountain road, coupled with the silent harassment of the inner demon, the two of them would have been exhausted long ago.

Since this is a testing secret realm, it seems likely it's meant to test our resolve. Otherwise, if we're troubled by our inner demons and stop moving forward, we'll be considered to have failed the test. No matter how strong you are or how good you are at fighting, if you can't withstand the inner demons, you're doomed!

He rushed forward at an incredible speed, much faster than his original walking speed. In the blink of an eye, he circled the mountain pillar several times.
Seeing that the scenery in the distance was becoming increasingly "smaller than all the other mountains", and the mountain road ahead was still empty, Yan Yu became more alert. He just held up the Huangting Sword, sometimes hanging it on the left, sometimes moving it to the right, ready to deal with any enemies that might appear from the surroundings at any time.

Suddenly, Su Yunjin shouted:
"Yan Yu, I can't walk anymore..."

"It's not that you can't walk." Yan Yu quickly transmitted his voice, "It's the inner demon that is amplifying the lazy thoughts in your consciousness, tempting you to give up moving forward!"

Su Yunjin gritted his teeth and wanted to keep up with Yan Yu's pace, but he couldn't help but slow down - after all, he subconsciously wanted to rest, and sometimes he would slow down unconsciously without paying attention. When he found that Yan Yu was getting farther and farther away, he suddenly woke up and hurried to catch up.

Yan Yu also noticed that she was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and guessed that Secretary Su was being troubled by her inner demons, so he deliberately slowed down his pace. After she caught up with him, he grabbed her left hand and pulled her to continue running forward.

This hand-holding was indeed effective. Su Yunjin had a lot of distracting thoughts at first, but when Yan Yu held her hand, all those messy thoughts disappeared instantly, as if she had been given a big mouthful of honey. Apart from shyness, joy, happiness, and intoxication, there was no other distracting thoughts in her heart, and she let Yan Yu pull her and run non-stop.

The invisible inner demon failed to attack Su Yunjin, so he turned to attack Yan Yu, provoking his emotions.

But Yan Yu had lived two lives as a human being, so he had amazing concentration. He suppressed all distracting thoughts and just rushed forward with Su Yunjin in his arms.

As the two climbed higher and higher along the mountain road, the inner demons became more and more ferocious and terrifying, and all kinds of things appeared in their sea of consciousness and attacked them.

Sometimes Su Yunjin saw her parents covered in blood, crying out for her from behind; sometimes she saw her own dead body blocking the way in front... She was so scared that her whole body was trembling, and she didn't dare to look forward or backward. She just lowered her head and stared at the stone steps under her feet, letting Yan Yu grab her and continue to run.

Because Yan Yu's inner darkness was too deep, the illusions he saw were more than a hundred times more brutal than Su Yunjin's. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the underworld or the Avici Hell.

But his endurance is a thousand times greater than Su Yunjin's. He has witnessed the hell on earth more than once or twice in his previous life, so how could he be afraid of the false terror created by his inner demons?
He ignored the flashing swords and the bloody attacks; he turned a blind eye to the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood!
The inner demon conjured up images of the entire Yan family, including his parents and sister, being forced to kneel in a row and then beheaded, their heads twisted and rolling everywhere. However, Yan Yu was a heart of stone, completely unmoved. He pulled Su Yunjin over the corpses and continued to charge forward.

The inner demon then conjured up many girls from the Zhenhai Squad, their arms and legs broken, their intestines pierced, their stomachs rotten, writhing and wailing on the ground, calling for the captain to save them. Yan Yu still turned a deaf ear to them, and with his divine speed he quickly stepped onto the stone steps, leaving them all behind.

His stubborn and paranoid attitude finally angered the inner demons lurking around him. Countless demons appeared from the air, each with three heads and six arms, green faces and fangs, and rushed towards Yan Yu and Su Yunjin.

These were real demons. If one treated them as illusions and ignored them, they would surely be seriously injured if suddenly attacked and bitten... But how could Yan Yu make such a mistake? His spiritual sense swept over them, and he swept the Huangting Sword across his body, pushing away all the surrounding demons and forcing them to retreat.

Su Yunjin was still charging forward with his head down when he suddenly heard Yan Yu shout, "Why aren't you taking action yet?"

This earth-shattering thunder finally woke her from her panic. Su Yunjin looked up suddenly, seeing all kinds of demons flying around. Without hesitation, she pinched the Dao formula in her hand and activated the secret technique of the Southern Dipper Galaxy.

Jiao Chong rushed out with a mighty stream of water, forcing the approaching demons away again. Then he shot out Coral Tears, piercing through several demons, but no blood was shed. Only Yan Yu could be heard saying:
"Don't stop, fight while you go."

After hearing his reminder, Su Yunjin also reacted:
The demon on the other side had been struck by the flying sword, but he didn't look injured at all, still jumping around vigorously, which meant he was definitely not afraid of physical attacks. If we slowed down our advance to deal with them, we would be putting the cart before the horse.

Looking at Yan Yu's sword attack, which was wide-open and sweeping in all directions, and he never chased any demon relentlessly, it was known that he was now mainly focusing on forcing the enemy to retreat, and was not thinking about how to kill.

Escape first!
The demons were flying everywhere, and as soon as they broke into the sword circle of the Huangting Sword, they were pushed out again by the water of the Tianhe River. They had no chance at all and could only circle around the two people, insulting and cursing them, and all kinds of dirty words came out one after another.

Su Yunjin blushed upon hearing this, but Yan Yu remained indifferent. Instead, he quickened his pace. Seeing that the end of the mountain road finally appeared in front of him, he hurriedly took two steps at a time and rushed over like flying, pulling Secretary Su with him.

All the demons in the back were crowded on the last step of the mountain road, as if they had encountered some invisible barrier. They just bared their teeth and laughed ferociously.

In front of us is the towering Taoist palace, which is tall, magnificent, splendid and glorious, like a palace in the sky or the residence of immortals.

However, when Yan Yu and Su Yunjin swept their spiritual sense over, they found that there was an invisible barrier in front of the palace, preventing their spiritual sense from further penetrating into it.

Directly in front of the palace is a magnificent white marble square.

In the center of the square, a girl in red suddenly stood there.

Clearly, the square should have been empty when the two of them arrived. But when Yan Yu withdrew his consciousness from the direction of the palace, he saw the girl in red standing gracefully, holding a long sword in her hand, looking at him with a cold gaze.

Both her appearance and her cold temperament are quite similar to the green-clothed girl in the secret realm of Longquan Mountain in the past, but there are some differences when you look closely.

The figure of the girl in green is lonely and desolate, while the girl in red is cold, arrogant and stubborn, with a condescending look in her eyes.

"She has no shadow." Su Yunjin whispered, "Just like that... Chen Mingyan in the Longquan Mountain Secret Realm, she must be just someone's remaining divine consciousness and phantom."

"Let's try to see if we can communicate first." Yan Yu also replied.

The opponent should be the goalkeeper who controls the core of the secret realm. It would be best if we could get the core without fighting, but based on our experience in previous lives, that is unlikely.

"You..." Before Yan Yu could say anything, the girl in red spoke slowly, her voice filled with coldness, "Miss, the magic you used on the way to heaven just now was the 'Secret Art of the Southern Dipper Galaxy'?"

"Yes." Su Yunjin asked cautiously, "Excuse me..."

"That's good." The girl in red ignored her and continued to talk to herself, "I hate people who use this spell the most, and I also hate this spell."

"Since you've mastered this spell, I assume you're her successor. If that's the case, it's only reasonable for me to increase the difficulty of the test, right?"

Su Yunjin: ………………

"Let me do it." Yan Yu interrupted her and said, "I'll accept your test."

"You want to be a hero and save the beauty?" The girl in red said coldly, "That's not something you can decide."

"Although the Path to Heaven was a replica of Mother's, it still harbors many inner demons. The fact that you were able to complete it shows that your character has some merit."

"But in this world, simply having a good heart is far from enough. My test here is a test of strength: no matter how you join forces or what means you use, as long as you can defeat this incarnation of my divine consciousness, you will be considered a success! Everything in this secret realm, including those demons, is yours to take and do with as you please."

"But if you're not strong enough and I kill you, don't blame me in the underworld!"
