Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 778 - 34 Li Minghu Takes Medicine_2

Damn, so many!

Thank God we discovered this early, otherwise by the time these sword puppets formed an impenetrable encirclement and began a concentrated flurry of stabbing and shooting from within, even with the Curved Curse activated, I’d become a hedgehog!

Without saying another word, Li Minghu grabbed Yan Yu and started running forward. But Yan Yu reacted even faster; the moment he surged forward, he scooped up her waist, and the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step was already executed.

Hurry!

Naturally, the sword puppets surrounding them were not willing to let their two prey escape. Yan Yu had only charged a few meters when several dim sword lights slashed towards him aiming for the legs, waist, neck, and head with ferocious intent. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Yan Yu’s steps were unceasing as he charged towards the sword puppets. Before they could even reach him, the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword Qi appeared horizontally, followed by the Instant Teleportation of the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword itself, chopping down, parrying from above, cutting straightly, and slashing diagonally! With incredible precision, he blew up all four sword puppets attacking him and then, with a flash of sword light, teleported away from the spot.

Puppet Azhen, trapped in a heavy encirclement further away, bore the brunt of the fiercest firepower. Her clothing was completely shredded, her limbs ragged, revealing the inside’s Divine Dragon Wood skeleton, harder than gold and iron.

Suddenly, she opened her delicate mouth and spat out a very fine golden thread, swiftly sweeping clockwise in a circle. It not only reduced the surrounding sword puppets to pieces but also cleaved open all of Yan Yu’s enemies in front.

Holding Li Minghu, Yan Yu finally took the opportunity to rush into the cave opposite them. Following close behind was Puppet Azhen who, relying on the unreasonable hardness of the Divine Dragon Wood, charged through amidst the barrage of Flying Sword attacks, directly entering the cave. She cut off the escape route for the two of them and blocked the pursuers.

Numerous sword puppets continued their frenzied pursuit into the cave’s corridor. Before long, another blast of the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire shot out from the cave, blowing numerous sword puppet corpses out.

"Impressive!" Li Minghu exclaimed.

The Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, in its golden thread form, is most suited for sweeping cuts, but due to the narrow passageway inside the cave, it couldn’t exert its full cutting power. Therefore, Puppet Azhen simply spat out a circle of fire instead — the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire created a huge flare and shattered a large number of pursuers behind them.

A few remaining sword puppets lunged at them, only to be killed one by one by Li Minghu with the Sky Flash Sword. Yan Yu set Li Minghu down from his embrace, took a brief look behind them, and said,

"It seems they haven’t followed."

"Mm-hmm," Li Minghu replied, still feeling jittery, patting her still-restlessly heaving chest.

Being surrounded by a large number of sword puppets in an open environment is undeniably a deadly situation because the number of enemies is enough to implement a saturation-style continuous strike. Unless one possesses defense-oriented magic treasures like the Xuan Guang Ruler, even the most skillful display of swordsmanship would be futile.

Fortunately, the two of them detected the anomaly in advance and took advantage of their surroundings to escape in time... cough, cough, cough!

"Started coughing again?" Yan Yu asked.

"Just an old problem," Li Minghu coughed and said, "It happens when I’m overly exerted. It’s nothing."

"Try this," Yan Yu took out the Elixir Medicine they had obtained from the Mysterious Realm last time.

"What’s this?" Li Minghu asked curiously.

"It’s said that this medicine can harmonize the body’s imbalance," Yan Yu replied.

Li Minghu swallowed one pill and refined its power in her belly for a moment. Her complexion seemed to improve, so she returned the Elixir Bottle to Yan Yu.

"You keep it," Yan Yu declined to accept it, saying, "This is for you."

"Let me try it first," Li Minghu said with a smile, "If it truly works later on, I’ll ask you for more."

Hearing her say this, Yan Yu had no choice but to put away the Elixir Bottle and took out the Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Mist magic treasure they had received last time, sinking into thought.

This item, like the Xuan Guang Ruler, also specialized in defense, a niche magic treasure. It was originally intended for Xie Ruoxi, but she already had the Wave-Propelling Transverse Flute. Zhao Yuanzhen had the Red Lotus Bowl, which was both offensive and defensive, so there was no immediate need to bolster her defenses in that area. Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin specialized in control-type combat and didn’t have a strong need to bear the front-line pressure of battle, thus leaving Yan Yu or Lin Ning.

Both were sword immortals who prioritized mobility in their techniques, with little demand for defensive magic treasures under normal circumstances: ’Why would I block when I can dodge?’ For this reason, Yan Yu kept it on hand, planning to exchange it for something more useful later on.

However, the dangers present in this Mysterious Realm were now extraordinary. Taking the earlier sword puppets as an example, each one had the strength of the Hua Fu Stage, and there were hundreds upon thousands of them—one mistake could be fatal.

The best suited for this situation were undoubtedly magic cultivators with wide-area bombing capabilities, followed by Assistant Officers with group combat magic treasures, while sword immortals who excelled in individual combat were at the greatest disadvantage.

Minghu and I are both sword immortals! What a dilemma!

After much consideration, it seemed best to refine and take ownership of the Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Mist after all.

Yan Yu was always frugal with the use of his True Yuan, wishing he could split even a wisp of it in two to use. Such defense-oriented magic treasures, if to achieve their full defensive potential, would inevitably become big consumers of True Yuan... But now, given the urgency of the situation, and to ensure the Valkyrie’s safety, waste be damned!

Ownership claimed!

Yan Yu refined and activated the Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Mist, and immediately, a mist engulfed his body like an otherworldly ascetic.

Li Minghu, having primarily refined the medicine’s power, felt a warmth returning to her belly, but soon a sensation of heat began to arise, and her skin flushed with a feverish red.
