Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

The sky dimmed, all colors turning silent.

The entire ancient city soon fell into the deep curtain of night. The drones in the sky switched to night vision mode and continued to capture the scene below along their preset routes.

"Alright, let's see what changes have occurred in the Mysterious Realm! The scene has suddenly entered night mode!" Xu Dongming said excitedly, "Something is about to come out!"

Suddenly, dim lights lit up in the countless houses around.

Yan Yu's Divine Sense swept the surroundings... No, there was no need for Divine Sense, he could see with his naked eyes that a large number of Yin Soldiers had appeared on the streets.

Fully armored and carrying swords and bows, the Yin Soldiers were rough in appearance and numbered in the hundreds. At the same time, more Yin Soldiers continuously poured out from the alleyways, innumerable at a glance, seemingly endless.

Yan Yu stealthily performed the Invisibility Technique, crouching motionless on the rooftop, vanishing from the drone's vision in the air.

One of the Yin Soldiers looked up and drew his longbow fully, releasing an arrow with a whoosh, and the drone immediately sparked into flames and fell to the ground.

"Everyone saw our OB drone has been shot down," Zhou Erhe exclaimed, "That was no ordinary arrow! It was a Flying Sword!"

Realizing his companion had stated the obvious, Xu Dongming hurriedly added:

"The shooting prowess of these Yin Soldiers' arrows is on par with that of Flying Swords. Our drone was flying at an altitude of over a hundred meters, no ordinary cold weapon archery could reach that height! Director, switch to the replay of the falling OB...

you can see, the arrows shot by the Yin Soldiers have a distinct purple-black glow in their trajectory, resembling the light of Flying Swords, their power must be far superior to that of normal bows and arrows!"

"Okay! The director has switched back to the camera on Yan Zhanlong, and we can see that Yan Zhanlong has timely engaged the Invisibility Technique! The Yin Soldiers have not noticed Yan Zhanlong's presence! What does professional reaction speed mean? It means at the moment of close combat, I become invisible right in front of you, and you're just dazzled, completely unable to react..."

Xu Dongming was still boasting when he saw several Yin Soldiers charge to the building where Yan Yu was located, pointing upward as if they were saying something.

One of the Yin Soldiers took out a torch from behind and lit it.

Wrapped with straw and grass rope, the torch should produce a bright yellow glow, yet as the Yin Soldier lit the torch, the flame was a ghostly blue.

The ghostly blue light, resembling the maggots of gangrene, shone on the spot where Yan Yu was crouched. His Invisibility Technique was still active, but the Yin Soldiers below were already looking up at Yan Yu in silence.

Yan Yu slightly narrowed his eyes, aware that his Invisibility Technique had been seen through.

In the live broadcast room, when those skeleton-like Yin Soldiers raised their heads and stared at the camera with their hollow eye sockets, the barrage of comments exploded:

"Damn, he's been spotted!"

"I got so scared I dropped my phone!"

"It's over, Yan Zhanlong can't stand the jinxing..."

"Stop jinxing him!" Zhou Erhe urgently called from the commentary desk, "Yan Zhanlong's Invisibility Technique has been seen through! Now let's see how he responds! He's retreating on the rooftop, trying to leave the Yin Soldiers' line of sight!"

"It's fine," Xu Dongming quickly reassured, "This kind of ancient city environment is very complex with many blind spots for visual cover, as long as he shakes off these few Yin Soldiers, Yan Zhanlong still has a chance to remain hidden!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a desolate horn sounded suddenly.

The director quickly switched between different perspectives, discovering that whether it was Yan Yu's camera or those of the Zhenhai and Flying Dragon Battle Teams, all could hear the resounding and powerful sound of the horn—it enveloped the entire city!

The next second, countless Yin Soldiers who heard the horn started running at full speed on the streets!

Realizing the situation was dire, Yan Yu quickly disengaged his Invisibility Technique and stood up, his movements swift as lightning as he leaped to the neighboring rooftop.

Behind him, several long arrows whistled past, emitting piercing explosive noises.

The broadcast team hiding outside the city once again launched a backup drone, and the night vision lens swept over the city below to see all the Yin Soldiers rushing towards Yan Yu's position, enemies approaching from all directions, leaving no time to find another hiding spot.

"Ah, shut up!" Zhou Erhe interrupted Xu Dongming again, "Stop talking! Let me do the commentary!"

```

He hailed from Lin'an Prefecture in Jiangnan Province, while Xu Dongming currently resided in Jianghai Prefecture. In fact, both of them were fans of the Zhenhai Team. If Yan Zhanlong were to be killed by over-nurturing, it wouldn't just be a blow to Zhenhai Team's fans—they themselves would be greatly dismayed.

"Okay, let's switch to the backup OB!" Zhou Erhe quickly said, signaling the director to change to the aerial perspective, "You can see that the recent horn sound has alarmed the entire city, and now the Yin Soldiers are all pursuing Yan Zhanlong... Watch out! Nicely done! Yan Zhanlong makes a sharp stop to dodge the barrage of arrows!

I'd like to remind everyone that our OB drone uses night vision lenses, so it can capture the deep purple light of the arrows flying past, but Yan Zhanlong doesn't have night vision gear—he actually can't see it clearly! His evasion from the Yin Soldiers relies primarily on his prediction, his outstanding tactical awareness, and excellent combat intuition!"

"He has Divine Sense scanning though!" Xu Dongming exclaimed from the side.

"Ay, I've told you to shut up already!" Zhou Erhe interrupted his colleague again, then casually corrected, "With Divine Sense scanning, Yan Zhanlong effortlessly dodges the arrows from the pursuers behind! He's speeding up! Good, after a few swift moves like a rabbit dodging a hawk, he shakes off the pursuing forces... but there's a large troop ahead! What is Yan Zhanlong going to do!!!"

Yan Yu took to the rooftops, crossing neighborhoods, and as he shook off the troops behind him, he saw a larger number of Yin Soldiers charging over on the main road ahead.

The front row suddenly came to a halt and knelt down, while the back row also stopped in place. Two rows of Yin Soldiers drew their longbows fully, and the dark purple glow circulated and condensed around the arrow clusters, forming something akin to energetic whirlpools and torrents aiming at where Yan Yu stood.

Yan Yu's Divine Sense swiftly swept across again.

There was no mistake, it was a spell from the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner.

In this Mysterious Realm, there was at least one Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner, continuously refining these ancient Yin Soldiers...

Before he could fully assess the situation, countless arrows were launched, sealing off his front, back, left, right, and even above—locking him in completely!

Yan Yu's figure suddenly plunged down as he activated the Wall-Penetration Technique in a flash, crashing through the roof and abruptly entering the building interior, thereby avoiding the barrage of arrows—and he also vanished from the drone's field of vision!

This move caught even the director off guard; they scrambled and quickly switched to his personal camera view, while the live broadcast chat exploded once more with a myriad of question marks. Xu Dongming began to explain:

"The Wall-Penetration Technique is the most miraculous spell among the Three Arts. It allows one to pass freely through any terrain without regard for obstacles, but the cost is that it consumes far more True Yuan than the other two arts, so it can only be used in life-saving moments.

Yan Zhanlong is very calculating in this regard; unless absolutely necessary, he definitely won't use the Wall-Penetration Technique lightly. And just now was indeed a critical moment when it was absolutely necessary!"

Finally, the director switched to the camera worn by Yan Yu, but the angle was extremely shaky—he had fallen from the rooftop into the house, then leaped out the window, twisting in mid-air to dodge several arrows. His speed remained undiminished as he landed and immediately veered left at an oblique angle, bursting out from behind the wall cover. Read exclusive content at empire

As he turned sharply to retreat, a new wave of arrows flew past where he had been just moments before. Defying the laws of physics, Yan Yu sharply retreated, stopped short, and took cover behind the wall to avoid the arrow rain, then suddenly accelerated forward again.

Taking advantage of the Yin Soldiers reaching for more arrows, he brazenly crossed the main road and flew onto the rooftop of the opposite block.

The live chat began rapidly posting messages again:

"The camera switches too fast, I'm getting dizzy!"

"Don't give Yan Zhanlong the first-person view!"

"Switch to the aerial OB, switch to the aerial OB, switch to the aerial OB, switch to the aerial OB..."

The production team also realized their mistake. Since Yan Yu's quick changes of direction were so frequent, sudden, and disorienting, experiencing it through the first-person perspective was simply too nauseating for the viewers. They had to switch back to the aerial drone perspective quickly.

"Ah, Yan Zhanlong really is amazing, just watching his first-person view is enough to make me want to vomit," Zhou Erhe commented, "Alright, let's watch Yan Zhanlong again from the aerial OB view. He moves swiftly onto the rooftop, running fast—there comes the arrow rain! Good, a sharp stop to dodge, then another dodge, and another—hahaha, they can't hit him at all!

Do you understand how valuable Yan Zhanlong's movements are, you lost souls and ghosts?"

"Eh, wait!" Xu Dongming suddenly said, "Look at the number of Yin Soldiers around! Their encirclement is rapidly shrinking!"

"Yes," Zhou Erhe also realized the problem and quickly added, "From the aerial view, we can see that although Yan Yu hasn't been hit, he also hasn't managed to kill any enemies, so the number of Yin Soldiers around him is indeed getting more and more concentrated, and his space to maneuver is decreasing."

"He's not going to get himself killed, is he?" Xu Dongming said anxiously, "Oh no, don't just go round and round in one place. You should kite them all over the city, make them follow you like a train!"

"Could it be that Yan Yu doesn't think there are enough Yin Soldiers around him?" Zhou Erhe pondered, "He feels he's still not in enough danger, that he can still manage, that he can still show off his skills for a bit longer."

"Very likely!" Xu Dongming exclaimed, "We're looking from a God's point of view, able to overlook the entire scene. But he's different from us, his perspective is shaking so much, he's probably just focusing on dodging the arrow rain and may not have had the time to check the number of enemies around him! If this continues, he could get himself trapped to death!"

"Oh dear, this is getting troublesome," Zhou Erhe frowned, "Let's see what Yan Yu will do next..."

In the Palace of the Qing Prince in Lingnan Province, the members of the Qing'an Battle Team were also watching the live broadcast.

"Yan Yu's not really going to get himself killed, is he?" Li Zhaojiang said in astonishment, "His movements are indeed flashy, but what good is that? With thousands of Yin Soldiers closing in, you'll soon not even have room to move! Showboating has to be appropriate to the occasion."

"Don't listen to the commentators guessing wildly—he's not showboating," Li Minghu suddenly said, "He's timing his moves."
