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

Chapter 704 Farewell
He let the sword intent of the Sun's True Desolation fill his entire body, and a kind of arrogance and domineering power that looked down on the world instantly emerged.

At this moment, I am the light!

Yan Yu immediately transformed into a blazing sword light and pushed forward.

The sky breaks through the clouds!

Without needing to mobilize any of his inner essence, the sword light instantly blasted forward several kilometers, leaving a trail hundreds of meters wide. Brilliant as celestial fire, radiant as the sun, all the fallen-headed demons in its path were reduced to ashes. Even the gray spirits within their bodies were completely obliterated by the sword light shortly after leaving their bodies.

"Above the Golden Core stage, you can't use your usual thinking to assess the realm." The sword's will guided him through his sea of consciousness. "Just like these Luotouba clones, they are endless. When they die, they release gray shadows, invisible and intangible. Conventional means cannot harm them. No matter how many you kill, it will be useless."

"Oh." Yan Yu asked, "Then what kind of methods are considered unconventional?"

"You'll understand when you reach the Golden Core Realm," Jian Yi said. "At this stage, you can simply understand it as simply using Golden Core Realm methods to deal with it."

"You might as well just tell me your ID number." Yan Yu said sarcastically, "If you encounter a Jindan enemy, please find the Zhenmei Sword."

"Haha, then I have to go get an ID card." Taiyang Zhenmei Jianyi laughed.

I don't know if it's because his sword intent is almost gone, but he speaks in a very human way, much more gentle and friendly than when we first met, when he would always say "kill you", "chop you", and "kill you".

Yan Yu controlled the sword's light and swept back and forth, attacking and killing with impunity, feeling like he was playing a Wushuang mowing game. The group of Luotouba that had left Li Minghu, the decapitation team, and the entire Lu Kingdom helpless were like fragile flying ants under the powerful sword light!
Not enough fun! Why are you so weak? Let's do something powerful!
Luotouba was obviously unable to bear such an exaggerated loss, and suddenly controlled all his clones to scatter, quickly combining into countless human-shaped Ba floating in the air, and a mighty floating bone sword, quickly forming a huge sword formation.

The wind was howling, the sky was filled with gloom, and a large number of wronged souls that had been devoured by Luotouba were now all released by the bone sword. They wailed and formed an airtight barrier around them, completely isolating the inside and outside.

All the bone swords shot towards Yan Yu simultaneously, each strike carrying the terrifying force of a Jindan Sword Immortal thrusting out with all his might. Even if a mountain stood there, it would be shattered to pieces by these ten thousand swords!

"A mere Yin Demon Secret Burial Sword Formation!" Yang Yang Zhen Mei Sword Intent shouted, "In my opinion, it's completely nonsense! Yan Yu, break the formation for me!"

"Shut up!" Yan Yu thought to himself, how dare you rebel against Tian Gang? At the same time, his mind turned slightly, and the sword light began to spin violently, as if a sun appeared in the center of the sword formation, radiating light and heat like a tide in all directions, immediately shattering, burning, and melting all the bone swords that were pierced into it, completely turning it into powder and ashes, falling down.

The light and heat were still rapidly expanding outward, like an exploding supernova, engulfing and destroying all the bone swords that had not yet been withdrawn.

"How is it?" Yan Yu finally stopped the flash of his sword and asked Jian Yi, "How does my move 'Sunshine' compare to your Zhenmei sword energy?"

"It was just spinning rapidly around itself," Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intent said stubbornly. "Luotouba was so foolish as to let all its clones attack you at once, giving you the opportunity to clear the field with your ultimate move. If it were my supreme sword energy, they wouldn't even leave a trace; they would be vaporized and annihilated on the spot."

"But you only have one sword energy." Yan Yu said disdainfully, "You just relied on your realm level to win. There is no technical content at all."

"Then if you have the ability, then don't use it." Jian Yi said with a sneer.

"I'm really a little reluctant to use it." Yan Yu looked into the distance again, only to see that the remaining humanoid Ba had all regrouped and merged with each other once again. At the same time, countless gray streams of light shot down from the eastern sky, as if the fallen Ba had sensed that the powerful enemy was difficult to defeat and was about to reveal its true form for a desperate fight.

"But we have to use it now." Yan Yu said slowly.

"No need to regret." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intent said solemnly, "Exterminating demons, defending the Way, and protecting humanity is my bounden duty. Even if it means risking my life, even if my sword breaks and my soul perishes, I will not hesitate."

"Yan Yu, although you may have flaws in your character and personal ethics, your commitment to righteousness is unwavering. In this respect alone, you are already superior to many Sun Sword Masters throughout history."

"Damn it." Yan Yu cursed with a smile, "I'm about to leave, can you please stop criticizing my character and personal morality?"

"Yeah, that's true." Taiyang Zhenmei Jianyi said, "Then let me put it another way: you should be nicer to them in the future."

"Otherwise, if I find out in the future that you are heartless and disloyal, should I kill you or spare you? For the sake of our friendship in fighting side by side, please don't make things difficult for me."

A man and a sword chatted with each other, while in the distance, the gathering of Luotouba grew larger and larger, finally transforming into a giant human head over two thousand meters tall. Its skin was dry and its expression was full of resentment. With every breath, it spewed out a large cloud of poisonous mist. When it landed on the ground, it instantly withered the forest and corrupted the river water. In the blink of an eye, it spread over dozens of kilometers, turning the entire area into a barren land.

Regardless of the type of evil creature, the Ba (ba) is associated with the concept of "a thousand miles of barren land." Compared to its inherent ferocity and aggressiveness, the pollution that directly damages the biosphere is actually more serious.

"It's about to happen." Yan Yu said seriously, "It's really embarrassing."

"Then go ahead." Taiyang Zhenmei paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yan Yu..."

"It's an honor to meet you."

As soon as the words fell, the sword light suddenly appeared!
Yan Yu once again transformed into the rising sun and headed straight towards the Luotouba.

The latter immediately opened its mouth wide and spit out a huge waterfall of dark green saliva, which transformed into seven or eight dragons in the air. They entangled and twisted, roared ferociously, and all wrapped around the sword light from all sides, carrying the momentum as if to completely crush it.

Then it was smashed to pieces by the hot cross section of the sword energy.

Just as the sword intention said, all objects and spells in the world today, no matter how powerful and domineering, will only end up vaporized and annihilated when encountering the sword energy of the Sun's True Darkness. There is no other possibility!

The Sun Sword's force was unstoppable, completely crushing all the saliva waterfalls. Luo Tou Ba finally realized that something was wrong and tried to use his magical powers to escape, but he found that the surrounding space had been severely distorted and was sealed by the sword's Sun Fire!
It roared in terror on the spot, its voice resounding for thousands of miles, not only throughout the Indochina Peninsula, but even reaching as far north as Jingnan, the Kingdom of Lu. Tens of millions of people heard the sound, and nearly a thousand people had their eardrums perforated and began bleeding on the spot.

The next second, the Zhenmei sword energy finally penetrated into Luotouba's mouth!

Its body suddenly expanded greatly, and first all the pores from top to bottom began to glow, and then its face cracked and broke, and terrifying light and heat flames spewed out from the cracks, like an erupting underground volcano.

This huge Luotouba had a distorted expression and a terrified look, like a firecracker with a huge charge of explosives, and was soon torn to pieces by the true fire of the sun inside!
The shockwave from the ground continued to spread in all directions, completely flattening the trees that had been corroded by the venom. Flames and black smoke rose into the air, forming a massive mushroom cloud that threatened to completely break through the outer atmosphere.

Yan Yu fell straight down from the sky, but Huang Tingjian was falling faster than him, and he arrived below first and held him up.

"Hmph." He looked at the Luo Tou Ba that had transformed into a fireball in the distance and said contemptuously, "What Yamata no Orochi plan? It's nothing more than that."

"You're right, aren't you? It's really embarrassing."

There was silence in the sea of consciousness.

Yan Yu sighed in boredom, slowly turned his sword light, and saw Li Minghu flying towards him from a distance.

The rampage of Luotouba finally ended, but the aftermath of the incident continues.

More than tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in the southern border has been completely polluted. Not only is the surface covered with swamps, but the groundwater has also turned into poison. It is estimated that it will take nature one hundred thousand years to repair itself.

After all, the venom of the Luotouba is not something that can be degraded by microorganisms or ultraviolet rays.

The surface of these lands is perpetually filled with a highly toxic miasma that would kill humans and animals within seconds. Without specialized detoxification magic weapons or spells, even cultivators would be vulnerable.

On the bright side, the Lu Kingdom no longer had to worry about the problems in the southern border, as the sorcerers there couldn't easily cross these polluted lands. However, these miasmas were carried by the monsoons from the Pacific Ocean, and even risked moving northward into the southern border of Lingyou, which was a real headache for the Lu Kingdom.

Yan Yu and Li Minghu returned to the Annan army base and confirmed that half of the decapitation team had returned. The remaining members were still being searched for, but considering that Luo Tou Ba had been killed, as long as they were still alive, they should not be in any danger of death in the future.

After a brief treatment in the infirmary, Yan Yu immediately received a call from Li Weiguo:
"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not that hard." Yan Yu said calmly, "Exorcising demons and defending the Way is just a cultivator's duty."

"Yeah." Li Weiguo didn't ask him about the Sun's True Darkness Sword Intent, but simply said, "The team that went to the Pacific Ocean to search for the Sun's True Darkness Sword has yet to find any results."

"It's not easy to find the entrance to a secret realm in the deep sea," Yan Yu sighed. "But he told me before that the reason he could sense the approximate location of the original body was because someone had disturbed its slumber."

"Yin Yang Courtyard." Li Weiguo pondered.

"If we can follow the recent movements of the Yin-Yang Academy, perhaps we can find clues to the Sun Sword." Yan Yu's speculation wasn't groundless; he had already considered this issue. "I remember Liu Longtao once said that the Yin-Yang Masters aren't monolithic, and some might be willing to cooperate with us."

"We'll assign someone to handle this," Li Weiguo said gently. "You've just been through a big battle, so don't worry too much. Go back to the base and get some rest."

Yan Yu wanted to say, "I'm not really that tired. My main combat power comes from the Sun's True Sword Intent." But the thought of this made him feel depressed. Although this sword intent was arrogant at first and then respectful, pedantic and foolish, they had been together for a long time after all, and I missed it suddenly without it.

Forget it, let’s go back first.

After returning to the Wudang Mountain base, Yan Yu gathered the girls of the Zhenhai Team and announced loudly, "Your captain is back."

"Captain, you've worked hard." Lin Ning immediately said, "I'll go make you something to eat. What do you want?"

"I want to eat fried chicken legs." said Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Okay, I'll go make fried chicken legs..." Lin Ning subconsciously turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly realized what was happening and said angrily, "Sister Zhao, don't interrupt! Let the captain decide what to eat first!"

"It's okay." Yan Yu waved his hand, "Let's just fry the chicken legs."

Su Yunjin looked at his expression and secretly warned everyone:
"Although the captain looks nonchalant, he must be very sad that the Sun's True Sword Intent has disappeared. Everyone, please pay attention these few days and take care of the captain's emotions. Don't add fuel to the fire."

"Yeah, I can relate." Xie Ruoxi sighed and said, "When I was a kid, I raised a white-feathered chicken. I raised it for half a year from the time it hatched. When it passed away, I was very sad too."

"How did you leave?" Chen Lingyun suddenly asked.

"Yeah, it was bitten to death by the neighbor's tabby cat," Xie Ruoxi said sadly. "When I came back, it was already in the pot. I could only cry while eating. I still remember the taste of that meal."

"Cats really are annoying animals," Chen Lingyun nodded. "They're free and undisciplined, and they don't obey rules. Besides their cute looks, they're useless."

"Isn't that right?" Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly asked, "Why do I feel like your mother killed the chicken and lied to you that it was killed by a cat?"

"Definitely not." Xie Ruoxi said sullenly, "That cat has a criminal record. I've raised ducks, pigeons, and fish before, but they were all killed by it not long after they grew up."

"Why are you all so quiet?" Yan Yu suddenly asked, "You're whispering to each other behind my back again, right?"

"Nothing, we were just discussing what to eat." Su Yunjin quickly explained, "Ningning is going to the cafeteria to get food."

"Hmph." Yan Yu stood up unhappily, feeling even more annoyed with them. "I'm the one who came back from the battlefield, but you irrelevant people are just trying to get a free meal."

"Captain, where are you going?" Lin Ning asked.

"Go back to your room and call me when you're done."

Yan Yu left without looking back. Lin Ning wrote down the names of the dishes everyone had ordered and then walked towards the base cafeteria.

There is a cafeteria at the Wudang Mountain Base, because there are not only fasting monks working here, but also many mortal civilian staff and engineers.

The chefs in the kitchen had all known her for a long time, and they all came over to help the monk and diligently prepared food for her.

Lin Ning picked up the spoon and put the oil into the wok. Suddenly, she heard the voice of the Mirror Fairy in her sea of consciousness:

"Your captain went to fight in southern Xinjiang this time, why didn't he take you with him?"

"What's so strange about this?" Lin Ning explained subconsciously, "The southern border is originally the defense zone of the Annan Army and the Pingxi Army. Why should we, the monks of the Zhendong Army, go there? As for the captain, he is the Sword Master of Lu Country, so we are going together."

"I see." The Mirror Fairy suddenly realized, "So the gap between your captain's strength and yours has already opened up an insurmountable gap. From now on, the missions you'll be tasked with won't be difficult enough to require him to accompany you; but for the missions he's about to handle, your strength isn't enough to accompany him."

Lin Ning suddenly felt suffocated because the words of the Fairy in the Mirror once again hit upon what she was most worried about.

But she still said stubbornly as usual:

"Who said that? He's no longer the Sword Master. From now on, it all depends on his own strength. After I achieve Dan Formation, maybe I'll be able to catch up with him!"
