Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Yan Yu still wanted to gather more intelligence about Jobby, but seeing the self-important Sword Immortal in white nearly at his limit, he directly thrust his sword into the fray.

He invoked sword techniques with both hands simultaneously, the Liangyi Sword flying to aid the man in white while the Huang Tingjian attacked Jobby, aiming to relieve Zhao by besieging Wei.

Jobby was naturally unafraid, his mana robust beyond measure. Even though he had expended a lot along the way, maintaining eight Light Swords was still well within his capabilities. He decided to split them into two groups, four attacking the Sword Immortal in white and the other four going after Yan Yu, his eyes also glancing outside at Anna, provocatively twitching his eyebrows to signal that she was welcome to join the fight.

The next second, his expression changed drastically!

The Liangyi Sword flew in support of the Sword Immortal in white, managing to maintain a stalemate against the four swords. The Huang Tingjian, however, didn't entangle with the four Light Swords at all but instead slashed directly toward Jobby's location. The latter let out a sneer, transforming into lightning in an instant, and disappeared from the spot.

Look who has Flash!

As the four Light Swords went to slash at Yan Yu, he executed the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, and his figure also vanished like a ghost.

Jobby was slightly startled, then revealed a smug smile, thinking to himself how impressive the mobility of the Divine General Dinghai was, something that didn't quite strike him when watching the videos, but witnessing it in person, he had to admit it was indeed fast.

However, it's not as fast as my Thunder Flash!

He flashed near the palace gate, conjuring another Light Sword and shooting it directly at Anna, who was outside the arena.

Anna, not having received instructions from Yan Yu, was hesitating about whether to step in and help, but she couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes widened as she unleashed the Witch's specialty.

Weakness Curse!

As Jobby's gaze met hers, his body suddenly felt drained, his strength significantly sapping away, prompting him to flash away quickly.

"Idiot!" Yan Yu dodged the pursuit of the four Light Swords and suddenly said, "She's a Witch, not a Werewolf. She doesn't even move her legs since she relies on spells; what's the use of putting a physical weakness curse on him?"

"What are you on about! I never intended to kill him with the curse!" Anna slowly explained, "I'm just serving him an appetizer first!"

She then took out a handful of sulfur powder from her waist and flung it vigorously into the main hall.

Where the scorching wind passed, smoke arose, and soon several fire serpents emerged, coiling and twisting in the air before they each carried a wind laden with poison and fire, charging majestically toward Jobby.

And then he evaded them with several flashes, flying around the arena, making it impossible for them to hit him.

Jobby also started to feel uneasy. Although he wasn't afraid of facing three opponents, their firepower was too strong, forcing him to constantly flash away, unable to counterattack, and he couldn't even summon his Light Swords anymore. If this continued, he would be worn down until death right there.

Time to run!

Suddenly, he flashed, transforming into a surge of Thunder Light, and in an instant flew from inside the hall to the outside, then down the steps with several more dashes, directly entering the Sword Puppet Formation.

The rest followed him out of the hall, and Yan Yu commanded arrogantly:

"You, go and control the Sword Puppet Formation, blast that Alien Race to death within the formation!"

"Why should I listen to you!" the Sword Immortal in white initially protested, then appeared to remember the dignity of being the Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper, and coughed solemnly before saying, "Since coming to Xiankong Island's Mysterious Realm, it's to accept the challenge of this realm. Though he's an alien Cultivator, even if he passes the test, he can't inherit the teachings of this place, but I can't break the rules to kill him, get it? If you want to resolve your personal grudge with him, you have to do it yourselves."

Anna looked towards the Sword Puppet Formation and saw Jobby had stopped using Flash, starting to return and swiftly navigate back through the formation, prompting her to frown and ask:

"Do we have to walk through this big formation again to chase and kill him? How bothersome is that!"

"Right," Yan Yu echoed, "Isn't there a door that can only be opened from this side?"

"Oh, there is," the white-robed Sword Immortal's eyes lit up, he rolled up his sleeves and pointed, "That side door over there, after you push it open and go left, you can directly circle back to the reception hall, which is also the entrance to the Sword Puppet Formation."

"Then let's get going," Anna was about to pull Yan Yu to proceed when suddenly she heard him ask, "After we leave, can we return the same way?"

"Of course not," the white-robed Sword Immortal said sternly, "To enter the main hall, you must pass through the Sword Puppet Formation, which is a rule set by mother. It's just that mother didn't specify how to leave, so I can allow you to leave through the side door, but if you try to take this shortcut back the way you came, definitely not."

"Why are you being like this!" Anna immediately glared with wide eyes and roared, "Haven't we already passed through the Sword Puppet Formation!"

"But you didn't refine the nerve center, did you," the white-robed Sword Immortal said with a smile, "Without refining the nerve center, I call the shots in this Mysterious Realm, which means the rules my mother established call the shots. Don't agree? Come defeat me, take the Central Law Sword, and then you can do whatever you want afterwards."

Anna, infuriated, rolled up her sleeves to make a move, but was stopped by Yan Yu extending his hand.

If they had to fight the Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper and then clumsily refine the nerve center, Jobby would have long been gone. This guy had no past grudges with me; at most, he could be considered a burglar this time. Personally, I had no particular reason to kill him, but now that he has signed with the Superhero Alliance, if not eliminated today, he will become a great enemy of my Zhendong Army someday.

A man takes his ruler's grain, he gives his ruler service. As a top cultivator in the Zhendong Army, it is my duty today to eliminate this threat in its cradle!

He turned his head to look at this white-robed Sword Immortal and began to consider how to persuade him, when he suddenly noticed a familiar air of arrogance about the man.

"May I ask your esteemed surname?" Yan Yu inquired, clasping his hands.

"Name's not important, surname Chen, given name Zhanyun," the white-robed Sword Immortal said arrogantly, hands clasped behind his back, "Don't bother trying to get chummy. Defeat me, and we can talk; fail, and please return the way you came, I won't see you off."

"Do you know Chen Dandan?" Yan Yu brought up the name of a Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper whom he and Su Yunjin had previously encountered and fought with in a Mysterious Realm. Just like this White-Robed figure, that red-robed female immortal also had an incredibly arrogant aura about her, virtually a carbon copy of this man before him, identical to a fault.

The white-robed Sword Immortal just blinked before quickly responding:

"That's my sister. How do you know her? Oh, I remember she created her own Grotto Heaven and crammed our mother's lineage in there, so you guys took her stuff, huh."

"Since you know her, then there's no mistake," Yan Yu immediately showed an understanding expression and nodded, "Chen Dandan once said she had a brother. Although his swordsmanship might be a bit lacking, he was at least upright and thoroughly sensible. Therefore, I thought that if what she said was true, you would help us deal with this threat. Otherwise, if he escapes and brings an army of Alien Races to attack, won't there be a risk of this Mysterious Realm falling into the hands of an Alien Race? This is a matter of justice, which cannot afford to be neglected."

"Bullshit! Bullshit! Where's my swordsmanship lacking?" The white-robed Sword Immortal became furious when he heard the first half, protesting, "When I duel with her, I can win at least five times out of ten, okay? As for being upright and sensible, that's well-known... Wait, with Dandan's arrogant nature, why would she spontaneously talk about me to you guys? That's not right."

Your character isn't much better, is it? Anna internally retorted, then listened as Yan Yu said:

"She didn't mention it verbally, but it was brought up in the swordsmanship classics she left behind. She wrote about how in the days of yore, when practicing swordsmanship with her elder brother Chen Zhanyun, she deeply recognized his virtuous character. When defeated, he accepted defeat without making excuses or causing a ruckus."

The white-robed Sword Immortal's eye twitched and after a long pause he replied:

"I let her win. As an elder brother, I can't pick on the younger one. It wouldn't be right to upset my sister by using my true skills, would it? Stop talking, I'll help you."

He quickly formed a spell with his hands, and the Sword Puppet Formation suddenly shifted. Numerous sword puppets began to move their legs, and in the blink of an eye, the maze transformed into a circle, trapping the caught-off-guard Jobby right in the middle.

"There, I've trapped him," the white-robed Sword Immortal said, clapping his hands, "But rules are rules, this is a trial of lineage succession, so I can't kill an outsider. Who's going to do it?"

"I'll go," said Yan Yu, "Anna, you take care of this gatekeeper. When I come back, I want to see the nerve center in your hands."
