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

Chapter 398 The Fall of Sendou Kagamine

"How long will it take?" Yan Yu asked in a voice transmission.

"Seven minutes." Chen Lingyun replied.

"Oh."

"Can you still hold on?"

"Of course, who do you think I am?" Yan Yu asked back.

"You are the strongest in this world~" Chen Lingyun said slowly.

Yan Yu did not answer this question, but his spiritual sense quickly swept across the entire place.

The swordsmen from Lihuayuan were attacking the high ground below the right steps. The swordsmen from Luguo were responsible for dismantling their swordsmanship, while the magic cultivators focused their firepower on the main gate of the palace.

Inside the palace, the Yin-Yang masters repeatedly tried to break out, but were forced to retreat due to the firepower of the four magicians.

All in all, to summarize the current battle situation, it is "the enemy army is divided into three routes, the sword immortal leads one route, the magic cultivator leads one route, and the flying general of Dragon City leads one route alone."

Yan Yu's sword gestures shifted, and the Huangting Sword unleashed a triple Floating Cloud attack, swift as lightning and heavy as thunder. The first strike struck a Priest of the Gods from the side, severing him in half. The second struck a Berserker from behind, and the warrior, in the nick of time, spun around and blocked with his sword, only to be knocked back, sword and body, tumbling down the stairs.

The third sword was the most powerful, sweeping across the stairs. All the superheroes hurriedly retreated to avoid it wherever it passed. Some even retreated so fast that they accidentally missed the steps and fell down.

The power of a sword is so terrifying!
Yan Yu laughed heartily, recalling the previous life when the Valkyrie assassinated the Witch King with one sword over the South China Sea, and forced back the Southern Border Coalition with another sword.

Li Minghu, how do you think my current level of might and dominance compares to your peak period in your previous life?
He looked down upon the whole audience with his domineering attitude, and finally someone below couldn't hold back anymore and pushed through the crowd to come out.

"Phoenix" Phoenix!
Last time in the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm, the Three Eagles teamed up but their companions were killed by Yan Yu, and then they were beaten out of the Treasure Ship Secret Realm by Su Yunjin's three Lang Feiyun. Phoenix has been holding back his anger for a long time, and he must use this opportunity to wash away the shame and regain his worth!
He made a provocative gesture towards Yan Yu, meaning "one-on-one challenge".

Of course Yan Yu ignored him. "Psycho!" You're going to fight me one-on-one, and your other companions are taking the opportunity to rush forward and join up with the Yin Yang Master and the others, right?
When Phoenix saw that Yan Yu ignored him, he suddenly became furious.

Fuck! Don't you recognize me? I'm Phoenix! The superhero "Phoenix" Phoenix! The one you fought before!

He was blinded by rage, and with a snap of his fingers, a raging fire instantly ignited all over his body. He spread his arms like the wings of a phoenix, and slid up the stairs and crashed into them!

The surrounding superheroes exchanged glances, and immediately used their own methods, lowering their bodies and quickly climbing the stairs!

Yan Yu knew that the Phoenix's self-ignition magic was quite troublesome. If you were careless and touched by even a little bit, these divine fires would burn on you, and they would use your true essence as fuel... In theory, it was extremely effective against professions like magic cultivators that required a large amount of true essence to be consumed.

As a Sword Immortal, Yan didn't have high demands on the endurance of his True Essence. However, his fighting style was to carefully calculate every ounce of True Essence, and he certainly wouldn't let the Phoenix succeed. So, he simply unleashed the Dividing Cloud Eight Diagrams Step, weaving his opponent left and right in a Z-shaped pattern. The violently pulsating, self-igniting divine fire splattered everywhere, missing the Dragon City flying general but instead igniting several superheroes on either side who couldn't dodge.

The live broadcast in the outside broadcast room has been going on for nearly twenty hours, and the staff in the studio are quite exhausted.

Yet no one complained. After all, the monks on the front lines fought tirelessly and intensely, taking six or seven hours to clear the battlefield, and the attack and defense of the palace took another ten hours, with not even a break—at least the staff could still take turns going to the bathroom!
"Long Cheng Fei will face 'Phoenix' Felix!" Xu Dongming's voice was a little hoarse, but he still refused to lower his voice and shouted, "Other superheroes are taking the opportunity to rush in from both sides! But they can't get through! Yan Yu's every move is calculated, luring Felix, who is chasing him, into a flame that will spread all over the field! There is no safe escape! The superheroes affected by the flames have reached 6! 7! 8 people!"

"Felix has clearly lost his mind!" Zhou Erhe roared, "He's completely oblivious to the fact that the divine flames emanating from his body are burning his companions and hindering the team's progress! General Long Chengfei still maintains absolute dominance on the battlefield, able to turn every factor around him to his advantage, even enemy attacks!"

"We are witnessing the birth of a miracle!" Xu Dongming declared loudly, shouting at the top of his lungs. "He single-handedly killed seventy or eighty foreign transcendents who were trapped at the steps! Who else in the world could pull off such a terrifying feat? This is truly a case of one man standing guard against ten thousand! There are no mighty passes here, only the Flying General of Dragon City! He alone is comparable to Hulao Pass, Sishui Pass, and Shanhaiguan Pass!"

Damn, these three barriers were finally broken! The executive director outside the field was too tired to complain, but he was too lazy to correct the commentary. Because Yan Yu really carried the entire battle line alone...

"Hey! What's going on?" Zhou Erhe suddenly exclaimed, "An Onmyoji rushed out!"

"It's Sendou Kagamine!"

The bombardment of the main gate of the Li Palace by the Lu Kingdom cultivators had reached an inhumane and terrifying level. Snowstorms, floods, fire dragons, and thunder roared and raged. Even the elite team organized by Xiandao Jingyin could not break through this death zone.

She activated the magic mirror to create a protective shield around her body, but she rushed in a few steps before it was shattered by Xie Ruoxi's thunder. She had no choice but to use a life-saving spell, leaving a mirror image incarnation in place. Before her real body could get out and take three or four steps, the mirror image incarnation was chopped into pieces by the green bamboo sword shot by Lin Ning.

Every time this mirror incarnation is divided, one has to reduce one's existing spiritual power by half, and consume the power of the magic mirror's origin, in order to create a real incarnation with the same body shape and appearance, which even the cultivator's consciousness cannot distinguish...but it ends up being wasted in such a place, which makes Xiandao Jingyin feel very painful.

But she knew that this was not an ordinary situation. The Yin-Yang Master had fallen into a big trap dug by the monks from the Lu Kingdom. If she couldn't explain it clearly in time, how would she be able to give it to them when they came out of the secret realm and people asked her for the treasure?

Now that Luguo is powerful and has heroes like the Dragon City Flying General, only a tripartite alliance can unite them! For the long-term, for the sake of the country, the tripartite alliance cannot afford to fail!
Xiandao Jingyin created another mirror clone, remaining in place to draw fire, her true form finally escaping the Lu Kingdom cultivators' bombardment range. By this point, only about 20% of her true essence remained, and her magic mirror was riddled with cracks, its essence severely damaged. Xiandao Jingyin forcibly mobilized her remaining spiritual energy, activating the magic mirror and unleashing a lightsaber to attack Yan Yu. Secretly, she conjured a thousand paper cranes, sending them flying towards Stevenson, who was in the crowd behind her.

Stevenson knew some Sakura language. Seeing Sendō Kagamine's paper crane flying towards him, he instinctively reached out to catch it. The crane landed in his hand, its pointed beak opening and closing as it uttered a female voice:

"Something went wrong in the palace! Those treasures..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and looking at Sendo Jingyin on the steps, his throat had been pierced at some point, his eyes were wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

The one who killed her was a girl with a thin waist and long legs. There was a sword blade protruding from her wrist. She stabbed the body of Sendo Kagamine and then swung it hard, throwing it to the bottom of the stairs like a rag. Then she leaped a few times to Yan Yu's side and suddenly disappeared.

Yan Yu quietly turned his wrist and put away the silver pill that the puppet Ah Zhen had transformed into. Then he looked down at the "Phoenix" Phoenix who was chasing him again and said with a smile:

"Goodbye."

His figure turned into white light, and together with the Lu monks on the steps, they all chose to teleport out of the secret realm and disappeared completely.

Inside the palace, the Yin-Yang masters finally managed to rush out. Suddenly, they heard a creaking sound behind them. The palace gate unexpectedly closed without any wind. At the same time, a simple and ethereal female voice rang in everyone's ears:

"Twelve hours have passed, and the Palace Trial is over. After one stick of incense, everyone will automatically teleport out of the secret realm."

Kanhara Shimie rushed to the bottom of the stairs and reached out to check Sendō Kagamine's body.

There's no hope. He's already dead.

Pitiful, lamentable, pathetic, Xiandao Jingyin! With your demon king-level strength, if you weren't bound by some sense of righteousness for your country, continuously expending vast amounts of spiritual energy and even the essence of your magic mirror, breaking through the siege at all costs, how could you have ended up like this, being easily killed by Longcheng Feijiang and left here?

And what could the message you risked your life to send change? If you die, all the responsibility for the failure of this trip out of the palace will be put on your head by the bigwigs. How tragic!
...No, it's not sad, but hateful and ridiculous.

Ultimately, the so-called Four Demon Kings were nothing more than four loyal dogs kept by powerful figures. If a transcendent being couldn't transcend the forces of the mundane and fully control their own destiny, their fate would likely end up like Sendō Kagamine, dying somewhere for some illusory belief, without even their loved ones being able to see them for the last time.

Shenyuan Simie stood up with an expressionless face, only to see Stevenson and Park Changmin rushing up to him and questioning him urgently:

"What happened? Why did the palace suddenly close? What did you do in there just now?"

no answer.

Kanhara Shimie just stared at them, then suddenly burst into weird and wild laughter.

"It's better to go home!" He turned and climbed the stairs, laughing. "The world is full of suffering! It's better to go home!"

Stevenson tried to grab him from behind, but only caught a flash of white light.

Shenyuan died and teleported away.

Immediately afterwards, the Onmyojis on the stairs also teleported away.

Seeing this, the superheroes and the Lihuayuan swordsmen were stunned for a moment, and endless anger surged on their faces, almost wanting to bite someone!

Stevenson didn't say a word to Park Changmin. He simply turned back to look at the superheroes, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:

"Kill them all!"

The superheroes disappeared in white light.

"I've said it before, these Yin-Yang masters can't be trusted!" Park Changmin turned around and fiercely addressed the enraged swordsmen, "They're pretending to be in a tripartite alliance, but they're secretly colluding with the Lu cultivators to steal the treasure!"

Even though Li Qingjun and Choi Seung-hyun were used to disagreeing with him, they couldn't stand by the Onmyoji now. After all, the Lihuayuan swordsman had gained nothing on this trip, while more than half of the Onmyoji had entered the palace and who knew what valuables they had taken... The mere thought of this made them furious.

"Kill!" Someone among the swordsmen shouted.

"Kill!" Park Changmin gritted his teeth. "Since this trip yielded no results, I'll have to rely on military exploits instead! I want to see how many of these Onmyoji dare to break the agreement and take all the treasures for themselves, and how many of them can actually bring the treasures back alive afterward!"
