Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 89: Valkyrie draws her sword! (1010)

When the people on the other side saw that Yan Yu was not there, they were able to remain calm and sent one person to investigate behind the house, which immediately made the girls a little panicked.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough that no one had to worry about being noticed for anything unusual on their faces. They just waited for Chen Lingyun to adjust their tactics.

Chen Lingyun was calm and asked in the channel:

"Tao Xingyuan is conducting a roundabout reconnaissance from the right side. Yan Yu, can you hide?"

Yan Yu said without hesitation: "Yes."

There were no trees behind the thatched cottage either, but there was a small sword-making shop with a furnace for melting gold, an anvil for hammering sword blanks, and a water tank for quenching.

The trough was short and shallow, and the anvil was small, neither of them could cover the body of a grown man.
The furnace was built against the wall, leaving few blind spots. While the interior space was likely adequate, the entrance was also narrow, with an adult barely able to fit an arm through.

Yan Yu observed the inside of the furnace from the entrance for a moment, then walked around to the outer wall and quickly used the wall-penetrating technique, and his entire body quickly "merged" into the furnace wall.

Su Yunjin, who was watching from the roof, was secretly shocked, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

How could I forget the art of walking through walls!
"Yunjin, cast the spell." Chen Lingyun suddenly gave the order.

Tao Xingyuan had already walked around to the side of the thatched cottage and saw the anvil, water tank and furnace there.

Looking from the side from a distance, there was a blind spot behind the furnace that could not be observed, so Tao Xingyuan used the magic of movement to continue approaching, while Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin stood on the roof and began to aim and shoot at him with the charge spell.

Seeing the two girls raise their hands, Tao Xingyuan was already on guard. He quickly stopped the magic of walking and switched to the earth-walking spell, then stretched out his legs and started running.

The charge spell had no way of breaking his defense, but the elephant spell consumed a lot of energy, so the girls had an absolute advantage in exchanging consumption.

Tao Xingyuan ran diagonally to the back of the thatched cottage while enduring the attacks of the charge spell and the elephant spell. After confirming that no one was hiding on the other side of the furnace, he turned around and left without hesitation, while reporting the findings in the team channel.

"Could it be hiding in the sink?" Li Minghu asked.

"The water tank isn't high enough to hide inside," Tao Xingyuan said quickly. "The entrance to the furnace is narrow; even a child can't get in. I've checked all the blind spots on both sides."

"It looks like they've really gone into the thatched cottage," Li Zhaojiang quickly judged. "Sister, should we charge them?"

There are two meanings of charging in: one is to use the advantage of numbers to get rid of the four girls outside; the other is to send people in to cooperate with the goalkeeper to attack Yan Yu, or to prevent Yan Yu from refining the central nervous system.

Li Minghu pondered for a moment, still feeling something was amiss. The keeper inside the thatched cottage was completely unknown. What if they rushed in and got trapped? The four teammates left outside might not be able to withstand the sudden attack of the Annan monks. If I were Yan Yu, I wouldn't be so unwise.

However, she rarely used the Wall-Walking Technique, and she had never seen the furnace in person. For a moment, she really couldn't think of going there, so she simply said:
"I'll go check out the back. Zhaojiang, you lead the attack from the front."

"Alright." Li Zhaojiang nodded and said, "Jiang Honghaoran, you guys go fight Lin Ning; Xingyuan, help me deal with Zhao Jiuzhen."

With Li Zhaojiang's order, the team quickly split into three.

Li Minghu made a detour, while Jiang Hong and Wang Haoran moved diagonally from the right, aiming for Lin Ning beside the stone tablet; Li Zhaojiang, together with Tao Xingyuan, used the magical speed to rush straight towards Zhao Yuanzhen on the left.

On the roof, Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin fired charging spells again, only to see the two opposing teams suddenly stop the brakes, dodge the charging spells, and then speed up again to kill.

The double-cut spell, although not as proficient as Team Yanyu's, was obviously specially practiced - the strength was far ahead of the world line in the previous life, so who should be thanked for this?

"Lin Ning goes left, Sister Zhao goes right, lead them away." Chen Lingyun continued to command.

Without thinking, Lin Ning immediately started moving quickly to the left; although Zhao Yuanzhen was complaining in his heart, he did not complain out loud, but just obeyed the command and rushed to the right.

The two men separated to the left and right, exposing the unguarded main entrance of the thatched cottage.

Li Zhaojiang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly he had the urge to rush into the thatched cottage and kill Yan Yu without caring about anything.

But my sister is still outside the house!
Thinking of this, he quickly suppressed his impulse and ordered:

"Haoran Xingyuan goes up to the roof, Jiang Hong continues to bite!"

So the four Annan soldiers split up again. Jiang Hong and Li Zhaojiang continued to stay on the ground and chased Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen who used kite tactics respectively.

Wang Haoran and Tao Xingyuan turned to the cloud-ascending technique and flew towards Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin on the roof.

Just as they were halfway up, the two girls on the roof launched a charging spell at them. Wang and Tao saw that this was not good. The charging spell was aimed at their chests, and without the Zhen Yuan suppression bracelet, if they were hit, it would not be a question of whether they could withstand it, but a question of how many ribs would be broken.

They quickly interrupted the Cloud Ascending Technique and immediately switched to the Earth Elephant Spell, barely blocking the two impact spells that hit their chests.

But without the support of the Cloud Ascending Technique, his body was quickly pulled down by gravity again.

"This won't work." Wang Haoran landed on the ground and said immediately.

You definitely can't get up to the roof. As soon as you use the Cloud Ascending Technique, people will curse you and hit you, causing you to vomit blood. What can you do while you're in mid-air?
You can't just use the Elephant Mantra the entire time and climb up with your limbs! Even if you have the climbing skills, when you're almost to the roof, if someone uses the Warp Mantra to kick you, how can you dodge it?
Tao Xingyuan also had a quick mind and reminded:
"Charge!"

Since we can't go up, let's just shoot and curse at them on the ground and compete with them in reaction speed and accuracy!
Wang Haoran also reacted. The two of them each chose the right moment and suddenly switched from the Xiang Curse to the Chong Curse. The sharp energy of the Gold Element tore through the air and shot towards Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin.

But Chen Lingyun was prepared for this. She smiled slightly and pulled Su Yunjin down to squat.

The roof of the thatched cottage was convex in the middle, sloping on both sides, and with eaves on the edges. When they squatted like this, they were just behind the slope of the roof and could not be hit at all.

Tao Xingyuan was at his wit's end. He wanted to get on the rooftop to fight close-range, but he couldn't. He couldn't use the fire spell to counterattack, but the enemy had cover. It seemed his only option was to use the fire spell to blast him.

However, the Fire Curse has a lag of about half a second. If you cast the Fire Curse directly, it will be difficult to hit the opponent unless the opponent cannot see it or cannot dodge it.

The two were hesitating when they heard Li Zhaojiang say in the channel:

"Xingyuan Haoran is back."

Although Li Zhaojiang was chasing Zhao Yuanzhen, he could still hear their conversation on the chat channel. The enemy occupying the high ground was indeed difficult to deal with, so it would be better to quickly come over and surround and kill the two running around.

When Tao Xingyuan and Wang Haoran received the news, they immediately abandoned the roof and went to surround Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen separately, using charging spells from time to time to force the other party to change direction.

At this moment, a scream of pain suddenly came from behind the house.

When the news reached here, Li Zhaojiang was shocked:
Oh no! My sister is still over there!
Time moved forward a little, and it was said that Li Minghu left the team at the beginning and went around the side to the back of the house.

She was very alert and always kept a safe distance from the rooftop - the kind of distance where she could easily dodge the incoming curse.

Chen Lingyun did not turn her attention to her, but just kept an eye on her out of the corner of her eyes.

Li Minghu wandered around and watched from a distance, and found that, just as Tao Xingyuan said, the anvil was too small and the water tank was too shallow to hide anyone inside.

The furnace was leaning against the wall, with nowhere to hide on either side. Moreover, the entrance to the furnace was extremely narrow. It was no problem to send the sword mold in, but it was impossible for a person to get in.

Was I really wrong? He had already rushed into the thatched cottage?
Wang and Tao had already begun their assault on the rooftop. Chen Lingyun pulled Su Yunjin down to a crouch. Li Minghu, without hesitation, quickly rushed to the furnace and activated his Cloud Ascending Technique to fly towards the rooftop, intending to coordinate with his teammates on the other side for a two-pronged attack.

Chen Lingyun didn't turn back even after the Cloud Ascending Technique was halfway through. Li Minghu sensed something was amiss, and a glimpse of the furnace below him instantly interrupted the Cloud Ascending Technique and switched to the Curse Technique. He twisted his waist mid-air and unleashed a powerful chop, striking down with a tomahawk-like force.

Right below her, Yan Yu quietly used the wall-penetrating technique to "break out of the furnace" and used the cloud-climbing technique to rise into the air to attack her, but he didn't expect that Li Minghu would suddenly react and even fight back.

Oh, not bad?

Yan Yu immediately switched to the Wood Curse Curse. With quick eyes and hands, his right hand stretched out like a poisonous snake, just in time to catch Li Minghu's ankle that was chopped down, and he pulled it downwards with force.

The person's ankle was pulled again in mid-air, and the pull was enhanced by the chanting spell. No matter how powerful Li Minghu was, she couldn't react in time. Her body was thrown to the ground by the huge force, and she screamed in pain.

Yan Yu landed steadily not far away, folded his arms, but did not rush to attack. Instead, he asked with concern:

"How are you feeling? If you can't handle it, surrender. I'll call the medical team over."

"Thank you, I can still fight." Li Minghu struggled to stand up, coughed twice in pain, grabbed the hilt of the sword next to him, gritted his teeth and pulled the broken sword out of the ground.

Yan Yu was immediately filled with awe.

Li Minghu held the sword in both hands, ready to charge.

Although judging from her movements, she didn't have any experience in swordsmanship at all.

But this resolute attitude of fighting silently and never wavering seemed to subtly overlap with the image of Li Minghu in Yan Yu's previous life, the Valkyrie who stood alone with a sword in front of the coalition of monks in the Indochina Peninsula.
