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

Chapter 261 Tsk, nothing more than that
Good news: This time the secret realm gate will be able to communicate.

Bad news: The other party has the same temper as Zhou Hongyu.

Yan Yu glanced around and saw that the ground was flat and there were no obstacles that could serve as cover. He knew that the woman in red was most likely a Dharma practitioner.

The lack of cover means that Taoism can bombard indiscriminately in any direction, and its advantage of large-scale attack is brought to the extreme.

If you want to curb the opponent's advantage, you must fight him in close combat as much as possible.

But will the other party consider this in advance and set up a targeted trap?

Yan Yu looked at the flying sword in the other party's hand, only to see that it was as red as hot iron, shining brightly, and the temperature was so high that even the surrounding light seemed to be scorched and distorted.

Even though this girl in red has studied Taoism in depth, her sword-wielding skills are definitely not weak!
"I'll talk about tactics." Now that Chen Lingyun wasn't there, Yan Yu could only arrange tactics with Su Yunjin. "I'll go get close and entangle her, and you can help me contain her from a distance. Prioritize self-preservation, keep your distance, and maintain mobility. Find opportunities to control her if you can, but don't force it if you can't."

"Okay." Su Yunjin also knew that the situation was urgent, and nodded seriously in agreement.

"Why aren't you coming yet?" The girl in red laughed coldly, "It's still not too late to retreat now."

"Please teach me." Yan Yu bowed slightly.

Since flying with a sword is not allowed here, I can only use the magic of speed.

He suddenly activated his divine movement, charging at the girl in red with the speed of a galloping horse. Su Yunjin also immediately took action, but he slid his vision sideways, his hands already forming Daoist spells.

The girl in red looked back coldly, and the red fairy sword in her hand attacked first, turning into a stream of red light!
So fast!

Yan Yu quickly blocked it with the Huangting Sword, secretly amazed in his heart.

An expert can tell the difference with just one strike. The sword movements of this girl in red were swift, sharp, accurate, and fierce. This was definitely not some common sword technique; it must have been derived from a unique system of sword techniques!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere. The Huangting Sword was a heavy sword, but in direct combat with the crimson sword light, it didn't gain much advantage, and was even inferior in terms of agility and swiftness.

Yan Yu used sword techniques continuously, urging the Huangting Sword to press forward continuously, but he could only push the front lines of the two swords to four steps away from the girl in red, and he could not push any further.

The crimson sword light grew more and more blazing and dazzling as the battle progressed. It was not at all inferior to the heavy sword, and even had a faint tendency to counterattack. Suddenly, the girl in red said:

"I know your sword... well, why don't you activate the forbidden technique on it? Oh, I'm afraid it's the end of the Dharma era and it's no longer viable. With just your meager swordsmanship, it's far from enough to defeat me."

Yan Yu sneered inwardly at this. In my two lives, I've always been the only one to show off in front of others. How could I ever allow others to act pretentiously in front of me?
He remained calm, continued to make sword gestures with his right hand, and shook his left hand silently in his sleeve, then secretly cast the curse.

The Huangting Sword's offensive intensified. The girl in red focused on defense and didn't seem to notice the sneak attack from Chong Zhu. Suddenly, she moved half a step to the side, a look of surprise on her face.
"Curse? That's clever, but..."

Before she could finish her words, a huge wave appeared out of nowhere behind her and slammed down towards her!
While Yan Yu was casting the spell and launching the sneak attack, he sent a message to Su Yunjin who was far away, asking her to quietly perform Taoist magic to the left side of the girl in red.

The curse was fired, and the girl in red flashed to the left like a ghost, seemingly seeing through his sneak attack, but it was exactly what Yan Yu had planned!

By the time Su Yunjin performed the Carp Flip, the girl in red was too late to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the huge wave. Huang Ting Sword took advantage of the opportunity and transformed into a sword light, slashing down on her head, intending to split her head in two!
The girl in red was thrown to the ground by the water, but she stepped sideways and moved backwards a little, just avoiding the slash of the Huangting Sword. Then she suddenly bounced up from the ground. Although she looked unharmed, she was soaked like a drowned chicken, with her hair tangled in clumps. She looked at Su Yunjin and said hatefully:

"Okay, okay, since you're using her Taoism to attack me, then I'll teach you, as your aunt, what it means to respect elders and what it means to honor teachers!"

She made a hand gesture and then a large amount of flames spurted out from her mouth and nose!

While it resembled Zhou Hongyu's Great Bright Fire Dao, its power and scale far surpassed it. Endless flames surged towards Su Yunjin like a tide, instantly blocking her escape route to the left and right, threatening to engulf her and burn her to a crisp.

Yan Yu activated his sword technique, and the Huangting Sword quickly suppressed the crimson sword light, forcing the red-clothed girl to distract herself and control the sword. Su Yunjin seized the opportunity to perform Jiao Chong, but her target was actually her own feet. A column of water appeared out of thin air, carrying her high into the air, and then landing just outside the edge of the sea of fire. As soon as she touched the ground, she unleashed the Divine Movement Technique, urgently creating distance between herself and the still-burning Great Bright Flame.

"Master? So this girl in red is..." Su Yunjin quickly suppressed his thoughts and once again activated the Dao formula, unleashing Lang Feiyun. A large number of water bullets shot towards the back of the girl in red.

The opponent's body changed direction continuously like a ghost, and with a few wrong steps, he dodged Lang Feiyun. Suddenly, he turned around and spewed out flames again. Fortunately, Su Yunjin was prepared this time. When she turned around, she immediately sprinted at full speed and left the sea of fire chasing her behind.

Yan Yu could see clearly that the opponent was not using the Divine Movement + Cloud Climbing to achieve the sprint and change of direction, but a unique footwork.

If flying with a sword is a superior substitute for the art of divine movement, then footwork is a superior substitute for the art of cloud climbing. Since practicing it is as monotonous and boring as sword techniques and requires a lot of mechanical practice, it belongs to the professional field of sword immortals.

This red-dressed girl possessed not only the sword techniques and footwork of a sword immortal, but also powerful fire magic. She was a combination of a sword immortal and a magic cultivator, completely disregarding the basic principles of combat...

However, Mei Yingxue in the previous life did seem to have revealed that in ancient times when spiritual energy was extremely abundant, there was indeed no division into combat professions. Sword immortals could play with magic weapons, magic practitioners could command ministers, and there were even people who were not good at combat and only practiced breathing and refining energy.

It was only in the later period when spiritual energy was scarce that the cultivators were forced to divide the various methods and pick out the four most adept combat routes from the perspectives of killing efficiency and saving true energy... In other words, the time point in which this red-clothed girl lived should be earlier than the time of Mei Yingxue and Zhao Yuanzhen.

While he was distracted by these thoughts, he continued to engage the red-clad girl in swordplay. Su Yunjin provided support from a distance, sometimes suppressing her with Lang Feiyun, and sometimes launching sneak attacks with Jiao Chong or Li Fan. However, her footwork was too abnormal. Every time, she would suddenly and precisely move out of the range of the Nan Dou Xinghe secret technique at the last moment, leaving Su Yunjin with the feeling of being "sparring with the captain."

Looking at the Huangting Sword Light and the Crimson Sword Light, they flew up and down in a fierce battle. Considering that the Huangting Sword is a heavy sword, it has the advantage of weight and strength in direct combat. Doesn't this mean that the red-clothed girl's swordsmanship is slightly better than the captain's?

Su Yunjin was secretly worried and anxious, and did not dare to send a voice message to Yan Yu to ask for instructions, for fear of distracting him from the battle. While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Yan Yu's voice message:

"Keep suppressing, don't stop."

"How to suppress it?" Su Yunjin asked quickly.

Yan Yu didn't answer, making her wonder if she had asked a stupid question.

Just as he was about to use the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique again, he heard Yan Yu's voice transmission reply:

"casual."

Whatever? Su Yunjin was puzzled, but he still pinched the Dao formula in his hand and attacked the girl in red with the water of the Tianhe River.

The red-dressed girl used her footwork again, easily dodging Lang Feiyun's water cannon attack. At the same time, she directed the red sword light to block the Huang Ting sword's slash. Suddenly, she heard Yan Yu laugh:

"I see. Your swordsmanship and Taoist skills must have been taught by the same master; but your footwork, which allows you to move and twirl, must have been taught by another master."

The red-dressed girl was slightly startled, but her sword moves did not stop, and she said:
"so what?"

"Your swordsmanship and Taoist techniques are incredibly well-coordinated. You were able to attack both me and Yun Jin simultaneously without losing any rhythm or order." Yan Yu said with a calm smile, "But the combination of your footwork with your swordsmanship and Taoist techniques is a complete mess. Why? Didn't the master who taught you the footwork later teach you how to integrate all three?"

The red-dressed girl's face was cold, and she retorted sarcastically:
"How shameless! You said there was something wrong with my footwork, then why don't you break it for me!"

Su Yunjin performed the Carp Flip again. The girl in red hurriedly used her footwork and instantly escaped from the range of the huge waves. But she heard Yan Yu say:
"Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward instantly.

The girl in red was startled and quickly directed the red sword light to block it, but it was intercepted by the Huangting Sword.

At this moment, Yan Yu had already taken the opportunity to break through the defensive circle of the red sword light and rushed into her two-step range. He activated the chanting spell, his arm strength surged, and he punched her chest with a punch, chuckling and saying:

"That's all."
