Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 719 - 11 I am the Underling of a Big Boss_2
```
When the Flying Swords clashed, Number Two by his side also saw clearly: They passed straight through the flames during their flight without causing any disturbance... It was indeed an illusion!
She immediately fired her Flying Needle Magic Treasure, aiming precisely at the incoming direction of one of the Flying Swords.
However, Number One and Number Three were not new to this line of work; they had intentionally controlled their Swords to arc towards Yan Yu just to prevent the other side from judging their position based on the flight trajectory, so Number Two’s Flying Needle Magic Treasure completely missed its target, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground where the blue bricks were laid.
Yan Yu had charged into the sea of flames, with nothing but firelight in sight and the crackling sound of burning wood in his ears, while his Divine Sense swept through only to find a vast ocean of raging flames with no one visible.
But he didn’t care about the rest and just dashed towards the direction of the Flying Swords. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Number Three, seeing the other party charging over, thought that he had also broken through the Illusion Realm and was escaping, so he hastily called his Flying Sword back in front of him to prepare for close defense.
Then Yan Yu closed in like lightning, with Huang Tingjian coming down on him heavy as Mount Tai. Number Three hurriedly used Sword Control to block, but the force transmitted through the sword was overwhelmingly terrifying, and his Flying Sword was instantly beaten and sent flying away.
Just as he was about to retreat swiftly, Yan Yu had already formed the White Crane Spreads Wings sword technique, and Huang Tingjian followed it up with a Half Moon Sweep. Number Three only felt a pain at his waist, and his body was sent flying as well.
Bisected at the waist.
Yan Yu felt the force on Huang Tingjian and immediately knew he had hit his enemy. His left hand swiftly changed sword techniques, and the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword Qi shot out instantly, as if someone had drawn a line in mid-air, hitting Number One’s Flying Sword from a distance.
Number One reacted quickly too, guessing that Yan Yu hadn’t broken through the illusion but had instead forced Number Three to retract his sword for defense, and then located him along the direction of the Flying Sword... So he quickly moved towards the outskirts of the area while controlling his Flying Sword to shoot in the opposite direction.
But Yan Yu’s experience in swordsmanship was extremely vast; how could he not distinguish between "retracting the sword for defense" and "a feint to control"? With just a glance at the trajectory of the sword, he immediately knew that the other party was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword Qi immediately shot out in the opposite direction.
Number One only felt a chill beside him, as the Sword Qi shot past three inches from his ear, startling him so much he almost instinctively called his Flying Sword back for defense—he forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and didn’t change his move, but then he saw the line of Sword Qi suddenly vanish and reappear the next second!
This time it was even further from him, almost two to three meters away. Before Number One had time to sigh in relief, he saw the line of Sword Qi vanish at the original spot and then suddenly stab into his right shoulder!
He bit hard on his teeth to keep from crying out in pain, which could reveal his position, yet suddenly his vision began to spin... The Liangyi Micro Dust Sword had instantly teleported to his shoulder, then proceeded to sever his neck.
Inside the sea of flames, even knowing that the surroundings were all illusions, Number Two still dared not move at will but simply used her Flying Needle Magic Treasure to shoot aimlessly everywhere, hoping to make the other party wary of damaging valuable items, thereby deterring their attack.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt a slap on her face.
She nearly jumped on the spot in fright but upon scrutinizing more closely, found that the sea of flames around her had completely disappeared.
Yan Yu stood in front of her, nodding and saying:
"So it was by relying on pain to break through... That’s right, the more one fears pain, the less likely one is to enter the sea of flames, and thus they would not be able to see through this Illusion Realm."
It was then that Number Two noticed her scarf, used to cover her face, had fallen to the ground. She hurriedly picked it up to put it back on, only to hear Yan Yu chuckle and say:
"No need to cover up, I’ve already seen it."
Number Two didn’t reply, wrapped her scarf around meticulously, only revealing her eyes, and then looked towards the two corpses lying in the distance.
Number Three was bisected at the waist by Huang Tingjian, his body now in two separate pieces, a sight unbearably bloody; Number One had his head chopped off, his face still wearing an expression of disbelief, utterly unable to accept that he could be killed in return.
"Look at that." Yan Yu smiled, "Was it not an instant kill?"
Number Two opened and closed her mouth, lost in a trance as she considered the outcome of the battlefield, and she couldn’t help but blurt out a word:
"Boss!"
"What is it?" Yan Yu asked.
"Boss, take me under your wing!" Number Two finally suppressed her shock, adopting a flattering, saccharine tone, "Are you still in need of a lackey?"
"You want to be my lackey, huh." Yan Yu pondered for a while, "Alright."
It would not do if you wanted to become a concubine or a warming pan; your looks and figure don’t meet my standards. But the requirements for a dog are obedience, cleverness, and loyalty, and judging by your earlier performance... you pass!
Number Two was instantly somewhat speechless, thinking to herself that "lackey" was just a metaphor, not that she really wanted to become his dog!
But seeing the two corpses still lying on the ground in the distance, Miss Number Two felt a bit frightened. The boss’s lethal ability was there for all to see; if I renege on the spot, would he get angry out of embarrassment and chop off my head or cut through my waist?
"I’m asking you." Yan Yu said, "The entrance to this Mysterious Realm opened up inside the Mount Wutai scenic area, didn’t many mortal tourists get sucked in? Where did all these people go?"
"I know that." Miss Number Two let out a sigh of relief, thinking it’s alright as long as she wasn’t asked to bark like a dog, and she honestly replied:
"I heard that if you walk clockwise or counterclockwise along the outer wall of the temples, you will eventually find a large camp. The Military Mansion Cultivators have gathered the mortals there for protection and are calling on everyone to spread the word and tell the mortals to go there for refuge."
