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

Chapter 686 My Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation
Everyone crossed the square and entered the main hall.

With Yan Yu, the swordsman, by their side, everyone felt more confident. The main hall towered majestically, and within it, several sword beams crisscrossed, clashing and exploding in the air. The sword energy was even more powerful than that of the black-robed female cultivator, even severing the massive pillars that several people couldn't wrap their arms around!

Fortunately, each of these sword lights has a good or evil opponent, otherwise, if even one of them were to pull out a hand to deal with everyone, they would be in an extremely bad situation.

"Horrible! Truly terrifying!" The head of the black-robed female cultivator held in Lin Ning's hand kept making strange excited cries. "That red sword light is the Red Sword Demon! I didn't expect this senior was also among the besieged. Kunlun is doomed this time! The one fighting against him is Kunlun Xuanmingzi. How can the mere Kunlun Seven Friends be a match for the Red Sword Demon? Without the Taiyi Fenguang Sword, even if the Seven Friends attack together, they will surely die!"

"Shut up!" Lin Ning shouted at her to keep quiet so as not to attract the attention from above.

Unfortunately, the black-robed female cultivator's prediction came true. The red sword flashed for only a few seconds before the opponent, along with the sword, was easily killed. He then landed in front of everyone, revealing a rough man with red hair and a curly beard. He stared at the black-robed female cultivator's head, frowned, and asked:
"Young friend Hongchen? How did you get your body chopped off and become like this?"

"Old Demon Red Sword!" the black-robed female cultivator shouted excitedly, "I have now converted to being a disciple of this Sword Immortal. You should also quickly kneel down and submit! Otherwise, when the Sun True Spirit is unsheathed, I will destroy your body!"

Is the sun really dark? As if he had heard something funny, the Red Sword Demon raised his gaze and looked at Lin Ning, who was holding the head.

Just you? A weakling who isn't even at the Golden Core stage!
He flicked his finger out of boredom and shot a sword energy towards Lin Ning, intending to rescue Hong Chenzi first.

The sword energy initially carried only sparks and flew out two or three meters, then suddenly expanded into a gorgeous crimson sword light, as evil as blood and as bright as fire, burning and distorting the surrounding light.

Lin Ning quickly retreated using the Dividing Cloud Eight Diagrams Step, but how could a mere Foundation Establishment Realm footwork dodge the sword energy of a Golden Core True Man? Not to mention that this Red Sword Demon's strength was far superior to that of the black-robed female cultivator!

Before the sword light completely reached her body, she could already feel the extremely high temperature energy, as if a burning beast had opened its bloody mouth towards her.

Then it was torn apart by an even hotter light!

Yan Yu thrust his finger again. His right hand stretched out, and a dazzling light emanated from his fingertips, like a solar prominence erupting at high speed. The crimson tide of sword light instantly swirled back, engulfing the Scarlet Sword Demon before he could even flinch.

Instant kill!

The swords clashing throughout the hall, both good and evil, ceased their attacks simultaneously. Countless gazes from the Golden Core True Immortals cast their gazes, filled with astonishment, fear, amusement, and greed, causing the girls' hair to stand on end.

Yan Yu, however, made a sword gesture with his hands, glanced over threateningly, then turned around and said:
"let's go."

"The Sun Sword Master's divine power is unparalleled!" the black-robed female cultivator's head shouted, "The Sun Sword Master's strength is extraordinary. The Sun Sword Master is invincible!"

"Shut up!" Ningning shouted.

The group walked out from the back of the main hall without encountering any obstruction and came out in such a swagger.

"Captain." Su Yunjin whispered, "They are following us."

Yan Yu swept his spiritual sense back and saw that no one was fighting in the main hall. They just hid their bodies, used the various furnishings in the hall as cover, and quietly followed behind the team.

The evil sect's intentions were simple: to replace the Sun Sword and seize it for themselves. As for Kunlun's intentions, they were a bit more complex. Regardless, intimidated by the title of "Sun Sword Master," these Jindan True Immortals probably wouldn't dare approach him for a while.

"Taking advantage, huh?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intent suddenly spoke in his mind. "Given the design intent of this secret realm, it's supposed to rely on you, alone with your sword, to unleash your swordsmanship to the utmost, relying on your exquisite memory to negate the opponent's realm advantage, ultimately achieving a decisive victory by defeating the strong with the weak."

"And yet you used me to cheat. Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about that?" Yan Yu asked back, "Trading a limited amount of Sun's True Sword Intent in exchange for the Liang Yi Microdust Sword Formation, which can be transformed into a stable combat force, this deal couldn't be more cost-effective, okay? And I won't use you up all at once, so you should have some confidence in your own value."

Sun's True Sword Intention: ………………

The arrogant tone you use is just as excessive as when your 996 boss says, "I still have 12 hours left for you!"

"By the way," Yan Yu asked again, "what will happen if the sword's will runs out? Will you die?"

"What, you can't bear to leave me?"

"I'm thinking about whether to burn paper for you."

"Haha, no need." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intention replied, "I am the sword intention separated from my main body. To put it in an analogy, it's like a dream you had while sleeping."

"The dream will eventually end, and sooner or later I will be exhausted and shattered, returning to my true form... When it truly wakes up, it will remember you and me, just like remembering a dream after waking up."

"I see." Yan Yu said, "Then I can go ahead and cast it."

"Hmm," Sword Intention continued, "But Lu Kingdom wouldn't want this to happen, would it? Without Sun Zhenmei Sword Intention, you would have no reason to continue occupying the transcendent position of Lu Kingdom's Sword Master."

"You must have made a mistake," Yan Yu said. "It's the Lu Kingdom that needs a Sword Holder, not me. Strength that doesn't belong to me is like a mirage or a castle in the air. As long as it can bring me the results I want, I won't feel bad even if I squander it lavishly."

"Alas," Jian Yi sighed, "If Chen Yanwei had been as aware and thoughtful as you back then, he wouldn't have ended up like that."

"Nonsense, don't compare yourself to me with trash."

While Yan Yu was chatting nonsense with Taiyang Zhenmei's sword intention, he led everyone around the courtyard wall and down the cliff path on the right.

More and more people followed. As time went on, some people who were ready to make a move could no longer hold back and tentatively shot flying swords from a distance.

Lin Ning quickly took action to meet the attack, continuously making sword gestures with both hands, and frantically intercepting the attack with the Danyan Sword and Qingzhu Sword.

"They are testing." Li Minghu said to everyone in a voice transmission, "Testing whether Yan Yu's sword intent can still be used." If Yan Yu is really the genuine Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Master, then as long as he swings a few more swords, he can kill all the Jindan Zhenren who dare to test him in seconds, and there will be no doubt.

The problem is that Yan Yu is not the master of the Sun Zhenmei Sword, and the sword intent in his body is limited. Of course, he cannot waste it all in this secret realm!

"Everyone!" Lin Ning said, "We are here to help, we can't hold Yan Yu back!"

"That's right." Su Yunjin also echoed, "We should withstand these attacks as much as possible and not give Yan Yu a chance to attack. Let's make sure the enemy can't figure out our strengths and weaknesses, so as to delay as much time as possible!"

"I'm fine." Ye Jun said.

"Me too." Li Minghu agreed.

The four of them quickly reached a consensus, and then swung the swords in their hands out, stirring up a myriad of brilliant lights in the air, dazzling and extremely bright!
The enemy's strength level was truly at the Jindan realm, which was the limit allowed by the current spiritual energy concentration. This overwhelming level meant that even tentative attacks at 70% or 50% strength were a heavy pressure that the girls could hardly withstand head-on.

The simplest and most direct way to defeat the strong with the weak in swordsmanship is to "stack the swords." If I can't block your strike in a single blow, I'll repeatedly intercept and absorb the force, using distance as a buffer, buying space for time, and completely dissipating your force in batches.

Su Yunjin possessed the strongest true essence among all the others, so he used his Coral Tears to charge forward, intercepting the attacks head-on. Lin Ning and Ye Jun followed suit, while Li Minghu remained responsible for checking for any gaps and being ready to intervene at any moment.

She secretly surveyed the entire arena and noticed that Yun Jin's swordsmanship was rapidly improving. Originally, she had only needed to intercept the blow in time, but at some point, she had begun to slightly adjust the angle of the swords' collisions to better absorb the force.

The ability to fine-tune the angle of a sword strike—not even 5% of the Sword Immortals in Lu Country could master this technique. After all, the clashes between Sword Immortals were as fast as lightning, and often victory came simply by intercepting the opponent's attack. Who had the extra reaction time to fine-tune the angle?
Reflexes are a skill that requires talent. The most impressive one, of course, is Lin Ning, who, during swordfighting, can even make targeted secondary adjustments after her opponent makes a minor angle adjustment. Her reflexes are a bit insane… Su Yunjin's ability to make minor angle adjustments proves her reflexes aren't too slow, and what she lacks is actual combat experience.

Looking at Ye Jun again, her skills were clearly not as refined as Su Yunjin's, but her overall perspective was quite impressive. Each time she chose to intercept an attack, it would be difficult for Yunjin and Lin Ning to block it due to their positioning or timing, saving her from having to save herself many times.

What a coincidence. Yun Jin, who had allied with Lin Ning, had also become as adept at reflexes and micromanagement as she was. Ye Jun, who was working with him, had begun to learn his strategic swordsmanship...

They are all making rapid progress, so it seems I can't fall behind.

Li Minghu made a series of sword gestures in his hand, and suddenly shot out the Tianshan Sword, blocking a hidden and vicious sword light attack in the air.

Yan Yu walked quickly along the path along the cliff, also secretly keeping an eye on the back with his spiritual sense.

He was ready to come to the rescue at any time, but he didn't expect that these four people could work together to block the probing attacks from a distance without any explanation, which saved him the trouble.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu suddenly burst into laughter and raised his middle finger towards the distance.

Seeing that the Sun Sword Master was suddenly preparing to attack, the enemies who were still hiding behind the cliffs used their magical powers and ran away in an instant.

"Oh, trash." Yan Yu said with contempt.

The girls were speechless. It took all our might to block the attack, but the captain scared them off with just a middle finger!

The gap between people is too big!
After a while, probably realizing that the Sun Sword Master did not make a move, many of the tracking figures in the distance came back, but they did not launch any tentative attacks for the time being.

But that doesn’t matter anymore, because Yan Yu and others finally arrived at the entrance of Fenbao Rock.

When you walk in, you will see a kind-looking old man sitting on a rock with his eyes closed.

"Greetings, senior." Yan Yu stepped forward and bowed.

"You're quite right," the old man said, closing his eyes. "My Daoist friend Changmei once said that the person he envisioned as his successor must be able to do the impossible and achieve the unthinkable. Even if he were to face a celestial being alone at the Golden Core stage, he would still unhesitatingly strike the sword in the face of life and death. Now that you've passed this life-or-death test of the weak defeating the strong, do you understand his good intentions?"

"Disciple understands." Yan Yu said.

Sorry, old man with long eyebrows, I cheated by relying on the Sun Sword! I understand the idea of the weak defeating the strong, but... I'll talk about it next time!
"Very good." The old man twisted his fingers lightly and picked up a lotus petal from under his seat. Then he flicked his fingers slightly and the petal flew out, floating and landing on the Liangyi Weichen Sword.

"The seal has been broken," he said calmly, "but with your strength not yet reaching the Golden Core stage, you won't be able to unleash the full power of the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword. You must diligently cultivate and understand your own nature. You must not neglect your cultivation and let down Changmei's good intentions."

"That's all I have to say. Leave now!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt dizzy and found themselves back outside the snow-capped mountains and lakes.

"Is this the end?" Ye Jun said in surprise, "I thought we would have to deal with another boss after entering the Treasure Dividing Rock."

"That's impossible." Su Yunjin said tactfully, "The enemies ahead are all at the Jindan realm. If we need to arrange a more powerful goalkeeper at the end, does that mean we need to go to the Yuanying realm? The current spiritual energy concentration won't allow it."

"Everyone's been fighting hard up front," Li Minghu said with a smile. "Just like the old Taoist said, as long as you dare to defeat the strong with the weak, and still dare to swing your sword in the face of life and death, even if you can pass the test, you don't have to play goalkeeper."

"It doesn't matter whether we hit the goalkeeper or not!" Lin Ning urged, "Captain, show us your sword!"

"Hmph." Yan Yu smiled triumphantly, pinched out the sword formula to summon the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword, waved his hand and shouted, "Liang-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation, rise!"

As soon as the words fell, a line flashed out and began to cut the surroundings rapidly.

Then came two, three... four! The four sword energies swirled and twisted, and the light also twisted and fragmented along with the space, as if the very essence of the Great Dao was being cut and pulverized!
The Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation directly slices through physical space with terrifying force. No matter what defensive spells or magic weapons you have, they will shatter upon contact, making them impossible to defeat! If there are tens of thousands of sword energies, even dismembering the Earth would be a piece of cake!
Then, the four lines of sword energy disappeared at the same time!
The air grew colder and colder, and the girls subconsciously held their breath and swallowed quietly, as if a big disaster was about to happen.

Yan Yu slowly put away his sword technique, took out a pill and put it in his mouth, then said incoherently:
"The Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation is my trump card in actual combat. How can I just perform it here for you to watch? Who do you think I am? When the empire is about to collapse and I am needed to save the day, I will show you my true strength!"
