Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 569 - 61 The Valkyrie’s Will_2
Chapter 569 -61 The Valkyrie’s Will_2
At this time, there were at least seven or eight Yings trailing behind Yan Yu and Li Minghu. They spread their wide sleeves as if they were kites gliding in the air, continuously firing dense Black Wind Sand Scrolls.
Simultaneously being attacked by seven or eight Hua Fu Stage ghostly creatures, even with Yan Yu’s exceptional Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, he was forced to use it to its full potential, constantly making abrupt movements up, down, left, and right in his running path, immediately changing direction with every step to dodge all the biting attacks locked onto his back, barely escaping each time by the skin of his teeth.
Such exquisite and carefree movement technique did indeed possess a graceful beauty reminiscent of flowing clouds and water, but if one were to experience it from his first-person perspective, the incessant high-frequency acceleration changes would be enough to make one vomit.
Li Minghu had long been fascinated by Yan Yu’s “Lightning Body Technique” and had specifically practiced it to enhance her own mobility. However, her own movement method, “Godspeed Acceleration, Ascend to the Clouds and Stop on a Dime,” was undeniably at a disadvantage compared to Yan Yu’s Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step—the frequency and rhythm of his direction changes were just too fast!
Even Valkyrie felt a strong sensation of the world spinning, clenching her teeth to suppress the rising nausea, she decisively closed her eyes. She stopped looking at the rapidly changing and sickening surrounding scenery and focused solely on sensing Yan Yu’s movement.
She quickly sensed that, compared to jumping up, sinking down, or moving right, Yan Yu dodged more often to the left, and the sounds of attacks from behind also tended to come from the right side.
Internally calculating their relative positions, Li Minghu suddenly squeezed Yan Yu’s waist with her legs to stabilize herself, freeing her hands to perform a sword technique!
Without clear sight and unable to lock on with Divine Sense, she relied entirely on mental calculations and directed the Sky Flash Sword toward a specific direction!
The first sword stroke missed, quickly returning to the sword master’s side. Undeterred, Li Minghu fired the second sword, White Rainbow Across the Sky!
It hit!
The heavy force transmitted from the sword made her realize her Sky Flash Sword must have intercepted the enemy’s Black Wind Sand Scroll, promptly recalling it to her side. Based on the hit, she further corrected the estimated position in her mind.
The third sword, released!
A low-flying Ghost Eel was too slow to dodge and got impaled by the Sky Flash Sword, plunging downward immediately.
“You can’t be serious?” Yan Yu finally exclaimed, “You hit it like that?”

“Just good luck, cough cough,” Li Minghu coughed a few times and said with difficulty, “These ghost creatures… have no Spiritual Wisdom, they don’t dodge.”
“Still, that’s quite impressive,” Yan Yu admitted with sincere admiration.
How exaggerated full deployment of the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step was, he himself knew all too well. Honestly, anyone who could keep from vomiting on his back was already winning.
Xie Ruoxi had also been on his back before, acting as a mobile artillery platform, but she would just blindly shoot forward, with Yan Yu targeting for her. That was nothing compared to Li Minghu’s ability to shoot backward and penetrate enemies at a distance, a significantly different level of skill.
Truly befitting of Valkyrie! In the past life, I outdid you, and in this life, you’ve quickly adapted to my fighting style. We’re naturally the perfect partners!
Such were Yan Yu’s thoughts when he suddenly heard someone shout:
“This way, quickly!”
He swept the area with his Divine Sense, leaping swiftly into a courtyard ahead and jumping down a dried well.
The Ghost Eels followed but had their line of sight obscured by the courtyard walls and failed to see the two descend into the well. They began to patrol and search the vicinity.
After falling into the well, Yan Yu found that the one who had called out to warn him was a raggedly dressed little girl.
“Are you both alright?” the little girl asked Yan Yu.
“We’re fine, thanks for the warning,” Yan Yu said as he looked around.
Beneath the well was a space carved out by underground water, appearing quite vast, with distinct upstream and downstream channels.
On the banks of the channel sat many civilian ghost souls, some dressed in ancient loose clothing, and others in modern shirts and T-shirts, ranging from middle-aged men to old men.
Well, this explained why when they first entered the town, there were no people to be seen on the streets.
They were all hiding here!
Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then heard Li Minghu’s telepathic voice say:
“With so many people taking refuge here, there must be an organizer. Find him and ask about the situation inside the Netherworld.”
“I was thinking the same thing,” Yan Yu replied immediately.
What is rapport? This is rapport! The detail-oriented Valkyrie, the telepathic Yan Yu!
“Little friend,” Yan Yu asked the little girl soul next to him, “who is in charge here?”
The little girl blinked and turned to lead the way.
The deeper they went along the channel, the worse the lighting and the heavier the Yin energy. But unlike mortals, what was uncomfortable for them became an advantage for ghosts, so the darkest places were often left for the elderly.
In a corner at the deepest part, they met the leader of the civilian ghost souls—an old man dressed in ancient clothing.
“You’re outsiders, cultivators, aren’t you?” the old man asked.
“There are local cultivators here?” Yan Yu asked in surprise.
“Of course,” the old man replied, “the Netherworld is the border between Yin and Yang. Cultivators who have various reasons for losing their physical bodies and wish to step onto the path of ghost cultivation will consider residing in the Netherworld to avoid being scorched by True Solar Fire. Even some Necromancers will rear ghostly creatures here, to facilitate the absorption of the Yin energy from this place.”
