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

Chapter 659 The Strongest Spear

For Yan Yu and others, it was just a small episode in the process of moving forward, not even worth remembering.

But for the Royal Wizarding Association, such a heavy loss of manpower was a serious matter that was enough to alarm the Queen. Even the Prime Minister couldn't suppress it, because there were many idle wizards who witnessed the incident and no one knew where they had fled to.

The country's reputation was inevitably damaged, and the more difficult problem was that if the news spread widely, it would undoubtedly lead Europe to seriously underestimate the strength of British wizards. Fortunately, Britain's diplomatic strategy was the best in the world, and similar situations were not unheard of.

Brussels quickly received a message: Yan Yu, the Sword Master of Lu, had led his men across the North Sea and was expected to land on the coast near Rotterdam in The Hague. Ten minutes earlier, they had massacred a group of wizards passing by in the North Sea, killing at least 20 wizards.

The European side immediately felt that they were facing a formidable enemy, realizing that Yan Yu and others were most likely coming for the Shroud barrier.

After all, someone just announced that he has the strongest spear, and you immediately announced that the strongest shield has been put into use. So don't blame him for using his spear to poke your shield.

Several extraordinary people were quickly dispatched to the coast north of Rotterdam in The Hague to intercept the enemy before they reached the Vosges Mountains. At the same time, the Allied Command in Brussels immediately called the Apostolic Palace and requested that the blessing ceremony be initiated immediately.

With the arrival of Yan Yu and the other two, the war machine that had been rusting for a long time in the whole of Europe finally began to rumble and run.

When everyone finally reached the coastline, they heard Mei Yingxue say:

"From here on, we'll be blocked at any moment. We need to accelerate. Don't stop, don't engage in a fight, don't talk to them. Get to your destination and complete the mission as quickly as possible to avoid complications."

"Okay." Yan Yu said.

Anna naturally had no objection, so the three of them flew inland at full speed.

Mei Yingxue swept her spiritual sense around her and secretly raised her vigilance.

The Privy Council had prepared a series of contingency plans and strategies for possible European reactions, and Teacher Mei had memorized them thoroughly. Seeing no dense missile swarms raining down from the sky, he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he saw several streaks of golden light shooting towards him from a distance, and he immediately shouted,
"careful!"

European clergy have a special branch of professions, the Angel Advent faction, which can summon angelic spirits to possess them, not only growing wings and agile flight, but also greatly enhancing their qualities and abilities in all aspects. When these clergy reach the same level of cultivation as the "Huafu Stage", they can receive blessings through the "baptism ceremony".

At this moment, masses were being held simultaneously in numerous churches across Europe. Thousands of believers, summoned by clergy, gathered in nearby churches, some praying with their eyes closed, others singing hymns. The unending power of faith was being infused into the three baptized angels of blessing.

At this moment, these three men were blocking the way in front of Yan Yu and his group. The radiant wings on either side of their backs had stretched to over twenty meters. In their hands, they held extremely long sacred two-handed swords, which also burned with a blazing white-gold flame. With a roar, they rushed in front of the group.

Mei Yingxue, being the closest, launched the first move, White Rainbow Piercing the Sun. The opponent swung her sword to block, and the moment the sword light collided with the two-handed sword, she felt as if struck by a raging wave. The flying sword was immediately knocked away by the terrifying force, and even her bones were in intense pain.

Seeing Teacher Mei being crushed during the swordplay clash, the knowledgeable Yan Yu immediately realized that the three blessed angels were now brimming with the power of faith of at least a million believers. Regardless of their cultivation level, considering their mana alone, they were already approaching the Golden Core realm.

"Don't fight them!" he ordered immediately, "Shake them off and keep moving forward!"

Mei Yingxue endured the pain and steady the sword light. Without saying much, she bypassed the angel from the side and swooped down to chop him. Then she accelerated rapidly and followed Yan Yu and Anna, continuing to move forward at full speed towards the Vosges Mountains.

The three blessed angels desperately pursued them, but they were unable to close the gap. The Lu Nation cultivators' flying swords were one of the fastest means of movement in the world, and Anna's flying broom was also a specialized magical tool for movement, so its speed wouldn't be much inferior.

Seeing that the other side did not choose to fight, but instead tried to shake off the blessed angel and continue to head towards the Vosges Mountains, the Brussels Allied Command was suddenly in chaos again.

You have to understand that the vast majority of believers are mortal, and it's impossible for them to sing hymns in church for hours and still be energetic. As time goes by, most people will definitely want to go home and rest, causing the power of their faith to further weaken.

Judging from the destructive power displayed by Yan Yu during the Tianzhu War, the blessed angel without the power of faith could hardly be a match for this swordsman!

Soon, several clergymen who were proficient in the Lu language, after receiving the order from the headquarters, intercepted Yan Yu and the other two from the side, shouting in the Lu language:

"Swordsman Yan Yu, come and challenge me in a duel!"

"Fight me, Yanyu!"

"Yan Yu, you cowardly rat!"

As long as the other party couldn't help but stop and beat them, giving the three blessed angels time to close the distance, their mission would be a perfect success!
Yan Yu ignored these shouters and continued to fly on his sword. At the same time, he made a series of sword gestures in his hand, and the Liangyi Microdust Sword moved over like a ghost. Before the three priests could react, he quickly killed them all.

The Brussels Command witnessed the complete failure of PLAN-A through satellite monitoring footage, and realized that even if an ordinary superhuman successfully provoked Yan Yu, they would not be able to hold him back.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Yan Yu did attack these three people, proving that the psychologist's character portrait of him was very accurate:

This person likes to show off extremely much, and the tolerance of the provocation of small fry is very low, so you can use this to target him!
PLAN-B: Find a more powerful superhuman to stop him.

Two extraordinary people who were hired in advance set off quickly. They were the "Phoenix" Phoenix and the "Styx" Oliver. Both of them were priests of the gods with many methods. They were known for their extremely difficult to kill and durable style. They were sure to be able to hold Yan Yu, the swordsman of Lu State, to the spot!

Arriving in front of Yan Yu and the others, Phoenix transformed into a firebird, the Phoenix, while Oliver summoned a small boat from the River Styx and sailed up the wind. Before they could even see Yan Yu, they both opened their phones, revealing a recording of Lu Guoyu speaking in a clear and precise voice:

"Trash Yan Yu, the sick man of East Asia, do you dare to come and fight your grandfather?"

Yan Yu and Mei Yingxue hadn't reacted yet. Anna from Spirit Land was furious and was about to attack them when she heard Yan Yu suddenly say:
"If they want to fight so badly, just give them a demon to play with."

"Okay!" Anna immediately took out the spell materials, which were a smelly liquid made from venomous snake blood, toad powder and rat tail bones. She stretched out her hand to write a poisonous curse in the air and recited obscure blasphemies.

A few seconds later, a large demon over ten meters tall broke through the void, struggled out from the space crack, and cast a resentful and hateful gaze at everyone present.

"Be careful," Anna quickly warned, "It's hard for me to control a demon of this level..."

"No control." Yan Yu said, "Let's just leave."

"Huh?" Anna was confused.

Seeing that Mei Yingxue had caught up with Yan Yu, Anna could only immediately urge the broom, injecting a large amount of magic power into it without reservation, and the speed almost reached the limit.

The three fled immediately. Phoenix and Oliver tried to catch up, but were caught in a close-quarters attack by the great demon, forcing them to fight back in self-defense. Phoenix flames, Styx water, and malevolent ferocious energy clashed madly, creating a monstrous roar in the air.

Still unable to stop Yan Yu and his men, the Brussels headquarters fell silent for a moment. In reality, there was a contingency plan in place should Yan Yu refuse to engage; Phoenix and Oliver were equipped with emergency acceleration devices. But now, being closely entangled by the demon summoned by the witch, forcing them to leave the battlefield and pursue Yan Yu and his men would be tantamount to exposing their defenseless backs to the great demon—something the two would absolutely not agree to.

PLAN-B also completely failed, which seemed to indicate that among the extraordinary people who could be mobilized, no one could keep Yan Yu where he was.

So the representative of a certain country at the meeting proposed a rather tough military plan: to use the ASMPA supersonic missile, carrying a nuclear warhead equivalent to 30 tons of TNT, to explode directly on the head of the sword-wielding man of the land country.

It is said that the Swordsman of Lu State is a nuclear bomb in the flesh. Let's see if he can withstand a real nuclear bomb!
The plan was immediately rejected by the headquarters for two reasons: first, the battlefield was located in mainland Europe, and Brussels would never agree to it; second, if nuclear weapons were used to attack the Sword Bearer, the Land Kingdom would most likely react with extremely fierce hostility, which would risk triggering a world-class nuclear war.

It's now a global consensus to let the extraordinary become extraordinary. If this were to escalate unchecked into a large-scale military confrontation, the end result would inevitably be the destruction of the Earth and the extinction of all mortals... However, the extraordinary are unlikely to be wiped out, as they are not subject to the fragility of the mortal body.

The mortal bureaucrats who still hold ruling positions today certainly have no intention of attacking each other or even perishing together, and handing the world over to the extraordinary people.

The Allied Headquarters in Brussels soon fell into chaos, with bureaucrats and representatives arguing with each other and failing to reach an effective decision on the next step - or in other words, at a time when it was almost impossible to stop Yan Yu, how to shirk responsibility and attack political opponents afterwards became the more important thing to consider at this stage.

Yan Yu and others finally arrived at the Vosges Mountains, only to see a huge pale golden light shield standing in the mountains.

The light shield itself was completely transparent, impossible to discern with the naked eye. But even the slightest breeze, as matter flowed through the shield, instantly refracted a pale golden brilliance, flowing delicately along the direction of the energy, like logic circuits carved into a chip.

Anna was eager to ask:

"Are you going to blow it up?"

"No," Yan Yu said, "Defensive technology is more valuable than offensive technology."

If we were to find extraordinary people in the world who could break this barrier, we could probably find at least a dozen. But what if they were asked to protect a large number of people? I'm afraid not even one of them would be able to do it.

"Let me see," Mei Yingxue ordered, "Yan Yu, try to attack the shield with minimal force."

"Okay." Yan Yu pinched the sword gesture in his hand, and the Liangyi Sword immediately flew out and hit the shroud barrier.

There was no sound, but it was clearly encountering resistance, making it difficult to advance. The defensive effectiveness was quite astonishing; after all, being able to easily block a flying sword's thrust meant it was no ordinary creature.

When the news reached the Brussels headquarters, it immediately caused everyone to become nervous:
Yan Yu was attacking the Shroud barrier! He wanted to completely penetrate the barrier and capture or kill the technicians inside!

Mei Yingxue, who was at the scene, carefully observed the energy circuits that emerged and realized that they were very different from traditional cultivation formations.

If the formation is like a Chinese ink painting, focusing on the overall form and spirit over the details and patterns, then the technology underlying this shroud barrier is more like the coding of a modern computer, which is continuously encapsulated from the underlying logical structure of cold machinery...

"Come again and take a closer look." Mei Yingxue continued.

"Where are you looking?" Yan Yu asked.

"I haven't seen it." Mei Yingxue said concisely.

Yan Yu immediately changed his sword technique, and the Liang Yi Micro Dust sword energy shot out rapidly, causing the Liang Yi Sword to constantly flash and teleport around, thus creating a large number of "ripples" on the barrier, and the circuits in various places emerged clearly.

Mei Yingxue carefully examined each node and the direction of energy, and gradually formed the outline of some kind of national defense formation in her mind.

She had previously known nothing about formations, but as she gradually obtained texts on formations from secret realms across the country, Teacher Mei had already been studying them on her own for a long time. In fact, due to her own background in the world of cultivation, she was even more efficient in learning formations than those researchers.

If that's possible... I could also learn from this... And there, is it the distortion of details caused by upgrading from 2D to 3D? Actually, it can be improved by infinite segmentation...

Yan Yu was testing the formation, Mei Yingxue was observing it, and only Anna was idle and bored at the side. Seeing the three blessing angels coming from behind, she couldn't help but remind them:

"I say: the pursuers are coming again."

"Anna, go stop them." Yan Yu immediately ordered.

Anna sighed helplessly and turned the broom around, summoning a large number of demons and setting curse traps around her, preparing to stop the pursuit of the three blessed angels.

The previous journey took too long, and the power of faith gathered from all directions had weakened, but the angels became more and more angry and fanatical, especially when they saw the blasphemous creatures like demons, which aroused their 120% fighting spirit. They jumped up and pounced on the demon army, cutting them like melons and vegetables, with poisonous blood flying everywhere.

Anna silently estimated for a moment, realizing that she alone could not stop these three cheating guys, and quickly turned around and urged:
"Done yet?"

Yan Yu immediately asked Mei Yingxue:

"Done yet?"

"Let's take a look." Mei Yingxue replied.

"Let's take another look." Yan Yu relayed to Anna.

"Look!" Anna was a little overwhelmed. The speed at which she summoned demons could not match the speed at which the other party mowed the grass. The curse that the witch was proud of was restrained by the power of faith in the other party. She couldn't help but turn around and shout, "I can't take it anymore, you come!"

"Wait a minute." Yan Yu said to Mei Yingxue.

"No rush, I just need to think for a while." Mei Yingxue closed her eyes and began to organize her thoughts.

Yan Yu rode on the Sun Sword and turned around to pierce the clouds with a burst of light.

Powerful sword intent surged through his body, and he truly became light. He swiftly charged towards a Blessing Angel. The angel barely had time to raise his two-handed sword, and before he could even attempt a parry, the sword's light struck his gauntlets. The terrifying force destroyed the blade's structure, but the intense heat and light were even more deadly, ripping through the sacred fire surrounding the blade and completely igniting the Blessing Angel's entire body.

The angel's body was engulfed in flames, and the accumulated power of faith within it raged everywhere. The backlash flowed back through the blessing ceremony, so that in churches across Europe where masses were still being held, thousands of devout believers suddenly raised their heads and cried out in pain, as if the "devil believers" tied to the judgment stake in the Middle Ages were spewing golden flames from their eyes, mouths, and noses!
