Chapter 703 The Last Pretense

Gazing from a distance, Yan Yu had never seen such wonderful swordsmanship.

As graceful as a startled swan, as brilliant as a swimming dragon, she shuttled back and forth among the flocks of Luotouba, suddenly appearing in front, then suddenly behind. Her figure was as graceful as a banished immortal descending to earth, or like the mysterious woman flying into the sky. No matter how the Luotouba flocks surrounded her, detoured, intercepted, and attacked, they couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.

In his previous life, while studying the Valkyrie's diary, Yan Yu had once lamented that she could be considered the forefather of the Calculation Sword Immortal. She had meticulously and carefully anticipated every possible change in sword techniques, and every possible response to each change.

But now seeing her posture after bursting out with all her strength, Yan Yu had to admit that Li Minghu should indeed be a talented swordsman - unlike Lin Ning's extremely fast reaction speed, she was born with extremely accurate judgment ability. No matter what emergency situation she faced, she could immediately choose the most appropriate tactics without thinking.

Quack! Compared to Master Minghu's peerless talent, the combat experience I accumulated through a lifetime of hard training in my previous life is nothing more than a tiny spark of firefly under the bright moon!
Although Yan Yu was dazzled by what he saw, he did not hesitate at all and rushed towards Li Minghu at full speed on his sword.

My lady Valkyrie, your loyal personal knight is here to rescue you!

"Tsk tsk tsk." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intention also commented sharply, "She is completely focused and focused. Although her overall strength level is far inferior to yours, she has left you far behind in the way of the sword."

"So do you want to change your allegiance now?" Yan Yu asked immediately.

"What nonsense!" Jian Yi suddenly shouted, "I only have one last burst of sword energy left. If you waste it saving her, what will happen to Luo Tou Ba's true form later?"

"If you're really a man, you should save your wife yourself!"

Damn, I got taught a lesson by a broken sword... Yan Yu could only grit his teeth and increase his speed to the maximum.

Although he was already rushing towards them at full speed, Li Minghu killed them even faster, so that the number of dead Luotouba exceeded three digits, and soon a hundred-level Luotouba was formed. After falling to the ground, the body and limbs grew out of its internal organs, transforming into a green-faced, fang-toothed humanoid monster.

The remaining Luotouba also exploded on their own, turning into countless gray streams of light, which continued to entangle and condense in the air, and finally turned into eight black bone swords, circling around the monster.

"Did you see that?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intent suddenly said, "As long as you kill them fast enough, these Luotouba will automatically reduce in number and be forced to concentrate their strength..."

The humanoid Ba made hand gestures with his hands, growled, and eight bone swords immediately flew up, forming a complex and mysterious formation.

"Not good!" Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the sword formation appear, and the puppet Ah Zhen fell out of his sleeve.

Akabane Nine Phoenix Fire!
The golden thread shot out from a distance, aiming at the back of the humanoid Ba. However, a bone sword suddenly came down and collided directly with the golden thread spit out by Ah Zhen. It shattered and exploded into a large black mist, blocking Yan Yu's vision completely.

Li Minghu also saw Yan Yu coming to help from afar, and he was delighted. Just as he was about to send a message, he saw the remaining seven bone swords suddenly coming at him together.

Although the bone swords had no special moves, their coordination was unparalleled. Two swords attacked from both sides, two swords blocked the retreat, and three swords attacked from the front, leaving the flashing sword light with no way to avoid or escape!
Li Minghu suddenly became ruthless and mobilized all his energy to meet the three swords in front of him with a powerful move that combined man and sword.

As the two swords clashed, the immense force of the impact, transmitted through the sword light, reached Li Minghu, causing him to spit blood. The sword light spun back, only to be struck by a second bone sword. Li Minghu suddenly withdrew his strength, taking another blow, nearly twisting his internal organs.

The Tianshan Sword was knocked away without any resistance, and the expression on the face of the human-shaped Ba was not happy but angry, because the direction where Li Minghu was knocked away happened to be the only loophole in the entire sword formation!

This loophole should not have existed originally, but the eighth bone sword was shattered in order to resist the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, which caused the Eight Gates Sword Formation it had set up to reveal a flaw. Li Minghu seized the fleeting opportunity and successfully escaped.

Yan Yu finally rushed over, but Li Minghu could no longer maintain the unity between man and sword. He was separated from the sword light in mid-air and fell down weakly, just in time to be caught by him.

He tapped several acupuncture points with both hands and injected a moistening spell to seal the arteries to prevent further bleeding. Yan Yu then tested her carotid artery and found that although her pulse was weak, it was not completely exhausted.

In her previous life, she was able to single-handedly behead the Witch King and repel the coalition forces. Although this Valkyrie did not take care of her body, she was ultimately good at calculations and could always use existing conditions to survive until the last moment... It was a blessing.

"Yan Yu." Li Minghu said weakly, "Be careful..."

Seven bone swords had already flown over under the control of the humanoid Ba, surrounding Yan Yu in the center and reorganizing into the shape of a sword formation.

"It's okay." Yan Yu ignored the surrounding bone swords and just looked down at Li Minghu in his arms, saying gently, "There's no need to fight anymore."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, it's very auspicious." Li Minghu was about to close his eyes to rest, but after hearing the second half of his words, he suddenly said helplessly, "Don't say such unlucky things..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Yu stretched out his right hand and made a gesture.

Bone swords were coming from all directions, completely locking him from front to back, left to right, but Yan Yu just stood there without moving. The puppet Ah Zhen had already stepped into the Fenyun Bagua Step, and his body was shaking rapidly.

In the past, manipulating a puppet to perform footwork would have been incredibly difficult. Now that his spiritual consciousness had been incorporated into the puppet, controlling it was like manipulating a second body, and so stepping on the Tiangang was effortless. Ah Zhen's footwork was continuous, his form like a ghost, as he spun around Yan Yu in a swift circle, blocking all the surrounding bone sword attacks.

The bone sword's slashing force was so strong that even Li Minghu could not withstand it, but the puppet Ah Zhen had the Tianhe Dingdi Divine Needle as his heart, and the force of his casual chop was also tremendous. In addition, the bones of his limbs were made of the divine dragon wood that could ward off all evil, and it could restrain evil things like the bone sword. Therefore, not only did he not show any signs of being unable to defend himself, but he even became more courageous and vigorous as the battle went on.

The humanoid Ba finally looked serious, and secretly cast a spell to fuse the seven bone swords together again to turn them into a more powerful weapon, but he only saw a line suddenly flash before his eyes.

He quickly turned his head to avoid the line, but saw a second line coming again, this time aiming at his left rib.

The humanoid Ba hurriedly dodged, but the third and fourth Yin-Yang Micro-Dust sword energies came one after another, and each time seemed to be able to predict the direction of his avoidance. If he attacked, he would be rescued, and if he didn't dodge, he would be hit. As a result, the humanoid Ba couldn't even control the sword formation. He could only struggle left and right, looking extremely embarrassed. In the end, he was finally pierced in the chest by the sword energy. His body froze, and the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust sword had teleported over and pierced into his heart fiercely.

The four sword energies flashed and flickered repeatedly, piercing the humanoid Ba more than fifty times in just two seconds, which meant that he was repeatedly slashed by the Liangyi Microdust Sword more than fifty times, and finally forced open the hard skin all over his body, making the inside a mess.

The humanoid Ba and the bone sword exploded at the same time, turning into countless gray smoke again and flying straight into the eastern sky.

At the same time, the Luotouba scattered throughout the southern border suddenly seemed to have received some kind of instructions.

Started flying towards Yan Yu's location.

Yan Yu landed and found an open space in the woods. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense to make sure there was no one around. Then he used his hand as a knife to neatly tear open Li Minghu's clothes.

Miserable.

The Valkyrie's body was not directly attacked. The only damage she suffered was that she was hit twice by the bone sword while she was in a state of unity with the sword.

Her thigh was fractured, its base twisted unnaturally. Her lower abdomen was also swollen and red. Although the skin had not been broken, the impact had penetrated the skin and fat layer, severely damaging her internal organs.

Yan Yu took out the pill bottle and poured out two pills for healing injuries; one was crushed with the Huangting sword, mixed with water into a paste, and quickly spread on the red and swollen areas; the other was stuffed into her mouth and helped her swallow it.

Li Minghu had fallen into a deep coma, unable to even swallow on her own. Yan Yu didn't want to stick his fingers down her throat, so he simply lifted her up by the waist, placed the pill at the base of her tongue, and then blew hard. Done!

The most serious internal injuries have been treated, and the next is the leg fracture, which is much simpler to deal with.

First, the broken bones were straightened and stabilized, then the Run Curse True Essence was injected to force the broken bone fragments back into place, and then the True Essence was used to stimulate the cells to repair and bond...

Li Minghu woke up slowly and saw Yan Yu putting his hand on his thigh, with roughly torn cloth scattered beside him.

She looked at Yan Yu quietly, then slowly closed her eyes, acting shy and powerless, ready to be taken advantage of.

Yan Yu:………………

No, I'm just treating your injuries, I don't have any other intentions. Why are you acting like this?
He quickly treated the surface injuries and then took off her coat so that she could cover most of her body.

Li Minghu was wearing Yan Yu's coat, revealing two fair and lovely legs, which he pressed tightly together, and whispered:
"I didn't send you a message, how did you know I was in danger?"

"That's a long story." Yan Yu pressed his hand on her abdomen to help her refine the medicinal power - then he found that there was not only medicinal power to treat external injuries in her body, but also a lot of medicinal power to harmonize the five elements. The Valkyrie probably swallowed all the pills he gave her before leaving.

"I want to listen." Li Minghu insisted, his voice trembling, obviously trying to hold back something.

"Yes, it was your brother who sent me a message," Yan Yu said concisely. "Then I went deep into the southern border and found the scene where you assassinated the Witch King. Based on the traces left behind, I guessed that you had left the main group and led the pursuers away alone, so I followed your trail and found you here."

"Is it that simple?" Li Minghu laughed, his breathing a little rapid. "I thought you would say something funny, like you and I have a telepathic connection."

"We are indeed in sync." Yan Yu sighed and said, "When I saw someone staying behind to cover our retreat, I immediately guessed it was you."

"It's not hard to guess." Li Minghu closed his eyes.

"After all, you never take your body seriously." Yan Yu said.

"But I knew you would come to save me." Li Minghu said softly, "It's also because we have a telepathic connection."

"It seems that we really have a good understanding." Yan Yu said with a smile.

"But I wrote a suicide note." Li Minghu took out his phone and opened the chat window with Yan Yu. "Look."

Yan Yu looked carefully and saw only two words and a punctuation mark:
Sorry.

"Why apologize?"

"Because I thought I couldn't fulfill my promise to you." Li Minghu paused for a moment and lowered his eyelids again. "It's my fault."

"I'm glad he's okay." Yan Yu didn't dwell on it. "However, I thought you would type a few more words. Was it because the situation was critical and you didn't have time?"

"No." Li Minghu shook his head and opened his eyes. "It's just that some of the words are too corny. I'd be embarrassed to write them in a suicide note, so I can only tell you in person."

In her eyes, as gentle as autumn water, Yan Yu's face with a curious expression was reflected:
"As my life is coming to an end, the person I subconsciously miss is not my family and friends, but you."

"I love you, Yanyu."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment and said:
"Uh……"

Before he could finish his words, Li Minghu had already held his cheeks and kissed him hard.

Yan Yu knew that she didn't want him to worry about how to answer, so he simply used this kiss to tell him.

I don't need you to respond to my confession, I just want you to know that I love you.

The two of them lingered like this for a long time, their bodies intertwined, wishing they could merge into one, until the voice of Taiyang Zhenmei Jianyi rang out in Yan Yu's mind:
"That's enough. Are you guys planning to have your wedding night here?"

Yan Yu gently pushed Li Minghu away and asked with concern:
"How is your health?"

"My injuries have almost healed." Li Minghu felt a little embarrassed and stood up and said, "Let's go. I wonder how the others are doing."

"Most of the Luotouba are in their lowest form. It won't be difficult for you to kill them if you gather together," Yan Yu said. "Just don't try to attract the attention of the group by yourself."

"What if..." Li Minghu's expression suddenly changed before he could finish his words.

The next second, Yan Yu's consciousness also scanned the movement in the distance, and he quickly jumped up and merged with the Huang Ting sword light, shouting:

"Lift off!"

The two of them simultaneously entered a state of unity between man and sword, and suddenly rushed out of the upper jungle, and saw a large and endless dark cloud floating in the distance.

To be precise, it was an almost innumerable number of Luotouba flying in the air, almost covering the sky and the sun.

"Minghu, you go first." Yan Yu ordered, "Go around to the west and then north to find the others and meet up with them."

"What about you?" Li Minghu asked quickly.

Yan Yu did not answer, but his body became more and more dazzling and bright. The sword intent of the Sun began to fill his meridians, gradually turning him into light.

"Without activating the sword energy, relying solely on controlling the sword to kill, how long can you hold out like this?" he asked in his sea of consciousness. "If you can't do it, just admit it, so I can switch to another sword."

"Three days and three nights won't be a problem." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword Intention sneered, "That's enough for you to show off one last time."

 I must not give in to the deadline, I need to start adjusting my sleep schedule!
