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

Chapter 386 The Demon King's Usage

After repelling the third wave of attack, Liu Longtao still stood at the top of the steps in the center, with his hands behind his back, looking calmly down, secretly regulating his breathing to calm his true energy.

Damn it, they're just like cockroaches, no matter how many you kill, they just keep coming back...

Jing Ye was cursing in his heart when he suddenly heard the ghost's voice in his ear:
"The master said, please save some of your true energy and don't squander it too much."

"Haha." Liu Longtao sneered, "I still have at least 70% of my true energy left."

He looked down with disdain and began to calculate again in his mind.

Although the warrior class in the Onmyoji system is short and slender, the increase in the concentration limit of external spiritual energy to the Marrow Cleansing Stage has further strengthened this class's toughness and flesh. Unless it is hit head-on by the Red Dragon Sky Patrol, it is impossible to kill it on the spot.

Considering the high consumption of Taoism itself, it is undoubtedly not cost-effective to simply injure or even repel the warrior - although I have abundant true energy, I can't waste it like this.

What's more, once the opponent realizes that my true energy is beginning to be insufficient, he will definitely quickly intensify his offensive, and then it will not be so easy to intercept him.

Princess Jiang Hai should have thought of this in advance...

Liu Longtao remained silent, secretly practicing his mental skills and summoning another red fire dragon, which smashed down towards the steps in front of him.

Chen Lingyun stood at the main gate of the palace, calmly looking at the battle situation in front, to the left and to the right. He took the Nine Heavens Yin Demonic Beads in his hand, slowly turned it, and pondered in silence.

Although the enemy seemed to be attacking Liu Longtao at the main level, they were actually making frequent attempts at the left and right levels.

As long as Su Yunjin and Yang Linhui showed signs of lacking in vitality, the enemy would immediately withdraw troops from the center and launch an all-out attack from the side.

So, should we deliberately lure the enemy deeper into our territory?
Chen Lingyun's mind moved slightly, and he gently placed the prison flag on the ground. Soon a ghost came back to his side.

"Go and see how Yanyu is doing." she ordered.

Behind the palace, Yan Yu was playing with his opponent with ease.

Every time Kanhara Shimizu summoned a Shikigami, it would be defeated by Yan Yu within half a minute. Although his summons were all carefully selected high-grade Shikigami, a large part of his combat power came from their coordination and cooperation - after all, the summoning style of course required the use of human wave tactics.

However, the environment here is too narrow and flying is prohibited. Even if two Shikigami are summoned at the same time, only one can engage in close combat with the opponent, and the tactical advantage of the Shikigami flow's combined attack cannot be brought into play at all.

Kanhara Simie could only retreat while walking, constantly summoning new Shikigami to delay and block Yan Yu's forward pressure. He already had the idea of retreating in his heart.

Of course there is a method of using a paper man to die in place of someone else, but it would be a waste of a paper man after all. If you can just run away...

Shenyuan Simie suddenly climbed over the railing beside him and jumped towards the Yaochi below. He had already pulled out the talisman paper in the air and held it between his fingers.

Hold me up, Ox-ghost!

A burly Shikigami emerged from below, raised his head to hold up Shenyuan Simie in the air, then twisted his neck hard and swung it outward, throwing it out of the Yaochi range.

Haha, I’m leaving!

Seeing that he had finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, Shenyuan Simie, who was thrown out, was still feeling proud, but suddenly he was hit hard on the back, almost making him vomit his lunch.

He fell heavily to the ground as the world spun around him. He wanted to roll over and get up quickly, but Yan Yu stepped on him, sealed his meridians with a moistening spell, and then tied him up with a rope.

The Huangting Sword flew back to his side from a distance - as early as when Shenyuan Simie climbed over the railing and pretended to fall into the pool, Yan Yu had already seen through his intention and ordered the Huangting Sword to fly out, waiting for him to take advantage of the situation.

When he was pushed out by the Shikigami, the Huangting Sword hit him back like hitting a baseball.

Yan Yu sealed his true energy, tied up his limbs, and then dragged him directly back to the main gate of the palace.

Zhao Yuanzhen exclaimed, and asked curiously:

"Who is this?"

"Nobody!" Yan Yu replied.

"He's just a nobody, so why drag him here?" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately lost interest. Shen Yuan Si Mie, lying on the ground, tied up, smiled contemptuously.
Pretend, keep pretending! Pretend you don't know me, right?

"This is a big fish, we can't kill it." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "It would be a good thing if we kill it."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked curiously, "Are you going to skin him alive, pull out his tendons, take his soul, and torture him slowly?"

Chen Lingyun's smile froze, because she knew that the Demon Sect witch was not joking when she said the second half of her words.

"Let me think about how to deal with this." Yan Yu put one foot on Shenyuan Shimie's back and said thoughtfully, "How about cutting off one hand first and see if it will trigger the paper man's death-by-surrogacy method."

"You can try." Shenyuan Shimie said with a smile, still speaking in that awkward Lu Guoyu accent.

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment. This guy's combat ability wasn't that strong. What truly made him a demon king were his unreasonable survival skills, such as the paper manipulative death-for-him technique. If he cut off his arm and triggered the paper manipulative death technique, it would be a shame for him to slip away.

Well, but, could it be that he is bluffing?
Just as I was thinking, I heard Liu Longtao's voice coming from the front:

"How did you capture this bastard?"

"This guy tried to sneak up on me from behind, but I caught him." Yan Yu suddenly had an idea. "Got it! I remembered a historical allusion!"

He beckoned Ye Jun over, gave him some instructions, and then called out:

"Old Liu, get out of the way! I'm about to drop a bomb!"

Liu Longtao subconsciously retreated to the side and saw Shenyuan Simie, who was tied up with a rope, rolling down the stairs - the other end of the rope was held in Yan Yu's hand.

The warriors below were about to charge again when they suddenly saw a man tumbling down from above. They thought it was some kind of "human bomb chariot technique" invented by the Lu cultivators. One of them quickly raised his katana and prepared to chop, but was suddenly forcibly pulled back by his companions, who cursed:
"You're crazy! That's Lord Kanhara!"

Kanhara Shimie was wearing a red and white, wide-sleeved Onmyoji costume, almost the same as a samurai wearing armor, so everyone recognized him quickly and rushed over to catch him.

As a result, Yan Yu pulled the rope hard, and Shenyuan Simie immediately stopped his momentum and was quickly pulled back up.

How could the warriors give up? If they didn't show their utmost dedication to the rescue, they would most likely face harsh treatment from Kanhara-sama later. After all, the Demon Lord was notoriously moody, and with the paper doll method of death in his place, he was sure to return alive this time to exact his revenge.

Without thinking, three or four warriors subconsciously rushed forward to snatch the person, but were hit by Liu Longtao's Red Dragon Sky Patrol and were all reduced to charcoal.

Someone reported the news to Xiandao Jingyin, who was immediately furious and said angrily:

"Kill Kanhara! What are you doing?! He has a method of using a paper doll to die in his place. If you kill him, he will come back. If you don't kill him and leave him to suffer torture in the enemy's hands, it will all be your fault in the future!"

The ninjas and onmyojis acted quickly and were no longer in a hurry to attack the monks on the stairs. Instead, they focused all their attacks on Kanhara Shimie.

Yan Yu cast a chanting spell and pulled the rope with both arms, dragging Shenyuan Simie back quickly. He threw countless attacks at Shenyuan Simie below, knocking him so hard that his face was bruised and swollen, and he stammered, unable to even scream.

"Large-scale attack!" Sendo Kagamine ordered again.

So everyone didn't hesitate to waste their spiritual energy, and fired a group of shurikens and various area spells. It was so overwhelming and dense that those who didn't know what was going on thought that Sendō Kagamine and Kamihara Shimie had a grudge against each other, and that he was ordering the Onmyojis to cut him into pieces!
Shenyuan Simie also struggled constantly, trying to find a step to trap himself, not wanting to be dragged back by Yan Yu.

Just when he was about to be killed on the spot by these attacks when he was only a short distance away from the top of the stairs, a flower of light suddenly covered him and protected him tightly!
This time Shenyuan Simie was really vomiting blood: his face had collided closely with the steps before, and several teeth were knocked out. Now he just spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, looking at the attacks coming towards him with anger, landing on the light flowers of Xuanguang Ruler, and making the shield shaky.

Hmm? It seems like it can be broken?
Hope suddenly ignited in his heart, only to see the light flower finally unable to bear the weight and shattered.

However, the next second, Yan Yu suddenly exerted all his strength, dragged the helpless Shenyuan Shimie back to the top of the stairs in one breath, and threw him behind the railing where the enemy could not reach him, saying:

"That won't work. I originally wanted him to be a tank, forcing the Onmyoji to be cautious, but instead he wants to kill him right away."

"In that case, why not use their strategy against them?" Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "How about using him to draw fire?"

Yan Yu was immediately astonished: I envy you for being so quick-witted! You have so much evil in your stomach!

"This girl is incredibly vicious." Liu Longtao whispered to Yan Yu, "Look, Old Yan, you better be careful. Don't be fooled by her sweet appearance."
