Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 542 - 38: Yan Yu, I curse you!

Under Yan Yu's incessant urging, the beauty-entranced Anna could only reluctantly get up, straightening her disheveled clothes and trousers — the blonde had even pulled down her trousers halfway, leading Yan Yu to click his tongue at her aggressive boldness, which was faintly reminiscent of the domineering nature of the Eclipse Queen from his past life.

Among all the women I know, I must admit you are the most dominant!

Of course, while Yan Yu admired her, he couldn't help but worry about his Primordial Yang.

He had a strong premonition that if he stayed any longer in the Northern Border, he was sure to lose his virtue... It would be better to quickly deal with Peter and then make a run for it.

Off they went, one on Sword Flight, the other riding a broomstick, quickly departing from the rooftop and flying towards the distant west.

"So you really are confident, right?" Yan Yu asked once again, "All I need to do is create an opportunity for a one-on-one duel for you, is that correct?"

"You don't believe in my strength?" Anna retorted.

"How can I believe in your strength when I've never seen you fight?" Yan Yu retorted her retort.

"Hmph." Anna smirked smugly, "Ever since you left last time, I've been studying all sorts of poison curses and now I am ranked first in combat strength among the Witch's Group, with no one better at fighting than me!"

"Oh." Yan Yu was noncommittal in response.

"Don't believe me? Want to see my strength?" As Anna spoke, she suddenly pointed her finger.

Weakness Curse!

The ferocity of curses lies in their invisibility, silence, and absence of any trace of Spell flight. Once targeted by the caster's finger, the cursed would immediately feel the effects, making evasion almost impossible.

With a slight movement of her heart, Anna had already silently shaped her Magic Power, but she saw Yan Yu's sword light suddenly shift downward, causing her Magic Power to miss its mark.

She didn't hit him!

Still in disbelief, Anna stretched out her finger again for another distant point.

Once more!

Yan Yu's sword light braked sharply again, just enough to avoid it a second time.

Anna was dumbfounded for a while, then purposefully pointed her hand without actually casting a curse, only to see Yan Yu's sword light drift once again, not letting her finger aim at him.

This broke the case: the opponent couldn't actually see through her curses, but he knew the curse's lock-on required hand gestures, so he intentionally avoided her aim.

"How did you know?" Anna asked in shock,"No, how did you do it?"

"You said something like 'let me show you my strength,' and then suddenly pointed at me. I thought your fingertips would shoot out a spell," replied Yan Yu.

"But how did you manage to dodge them all?" Anna asked curiously.

"When you pointed at me, I just dodged to the side," Yan Yu answered.

Anna fell silent for a moment, realizing he might indeed not be lying.

Curses have no visible form, so you can't see the curse and avoid it as it comes at you; the only clue is the witch's hand movements.

But when I did just that—a simple point—you managed to avoid it. How fast must your reaction speed be to do that!

In other words, I can't just use a curse on Yan Yu afterwards and have him under my control, taking him back to Amur to marry me and enter the bridal chamber!

"Waaah!" Anna, riding on the broom, suddenly cried out loudly, venting the frustration in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu asked.

"I've lost my confidence," Anna declared proudly, "I originally thought that with one curse, I could knock that what's-his-name Peter flat on the ground, but seeing how effortlessly you dodged... it made me feel like I'm useless, and couldn't win a fight!"

"There's no need to lose confidence over this," Yan Yu said leisurely. "In the whole world, I am the only one who can dodge a curse like this."

In my past life, the Amur Witch's Group unified the Northern Border quite late, so naturally, there were numerous witches among the various demons and entities that caused trouble every year. Because the Dingbei Army was under constant pressure, it collected most of the intelligence on witches, including the gestures and conditions required to cast their curses.

After intensive high-pressure training, most of the Mortal Warriors in the Dingbei Army could dodge the "easier" curses, but for the harder ones, it was down to luck. As for the record of dodging one hundred percent of the curses, to this day, only Yan Yu has achieved that, and no one has broken his record.

Therefore, when Yan Yu said, "I am the only one," it wasn't a boast without basis, the record from his past life spoke for itself.

Anna, however, was somewhat skeptical. She thought, since you're so wary of me pointing at you, what if I change the curse? That should be okay, right?

She pressed her fingertip against her lips and blew Yan Yu a kiss.

The Enthralling Curse was meant to make the target obsess over her briefly, following her every command. It would be triggered the instant the target saw the flying kiss.

But Yan Yu's sword light suddenly widened, and he averted his gaze in time, still unaffected by the curse.

Anna was so angry she gnashed her teeth, her competitive spirit flaring up. She thought to herself, whether through surprise or underhanded tactics, you have to be hit by one of them today!

She unleashed a variety of curses at Yan Yu, excluding only those that were too lethal, throwing everything else she had at him.

Yan Yu's response was very straightforward: I duck, I dodge, I twist away, not touching, not approaching, not looking directly at you, making your curses miss.

Still, the number of curses Anna controlled did surprise Yan Yu.

This blonde does have some skills indeed! Deserving of her status as the Eclipse Queen in the past life, she must have put a lot of effort into studying this stuff, considering she was a complete novice just a year ago!

In contrast, someone didn't have to flee for her life this life, thus has been indulging in the comfortable life—eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, with no evidence of self-study in malicious spells beyond team training. I'm afraid I might have spoiled her.

When the two arrived on the outskirts of Yakutsk, Anna had already missed countless times and was incredibly irritated. She took the lead in landing in the urban area with Yan Yu and ordered the Spirit Communicators who gathered around:

"Summon Lord Ivan!"

Yan Yu stood by quietly, aware that the so-called "Lord Ivan" was likely a vassal of the Amur Witch's Group.

In the North, where modern societal structures have completely collapsed, you can't expect the establishment of a central imperial hegemony, because local Transcendent forces have a natural tendency to resist centralization. Therefore, the Amur Witch's Group maintained a certain suzerainty policy over the surrounding areas, allowing local Transcendent powers extensive autonomous rights in exchange for limited loyalty, allegiance, and tribute—a bit like a feudal system.

In the Saha Region near Yakutsk, the dominant Spirit Communicators were the Saha Werewolves. The ruling class of the Witch's Group was called the "Elders," while the werewolves referred to their leaders as "Lords." Judging by Anna's imperious and commanding attitude, this Lord Ivan was probably not a very powerful figure, so Anna wasn't afraid of offending him.

Wait a minute…

"Anna," Yan Yu suddenly said in a low voice, "we've been flying for over an hour now. Before we started, Clara reported that 'Peter has arrived at Yakutsk.' What do you think happened during this hour?"

Anna was initially startled, but then quickly understood.

The Saha Werewolves swiftly surrounded the two of them; one of the leaders pushed through the crowd, revealing a sinister, mocking smile, and said:

"Ivan is busy right now, unable to greet the two of you. If you want to see him, please follow us."

Anna threw a glance at Yan Yu and smirked:

"Sure, lead the way... Attack now!"

Before her words even finished, Yan Yu had already formed a sword technique,

Two swords flew from his back's sheath, ferociously plunging into the pack of wolves. The Huang Tingjian clove through flesh, limbs flying; the Liangyi Sword pierced with rapid thrusts, penetrating chests and disemboweling. Even though the werewolves were prepared, they were forced into a retreating disarray, completely unable to defend themselves.

Anna's attacks were more akin to those of a Magic Cultivator's, throwing handfuls of golden powder and with a snap of her fingers; the powder instantly turned into a vast sea of flames, spreading dozens of meters in a blink. The surging Red Flame, the towering heatwave, and from within it, countless Fire Serpents and pythons emerged, roaring and lunging in every direction!

The werewolves struck by Fire Serpents caught fire, their bodies burning as they howled miserably, rolling on the ground trying to extinguish the flames, but soon they were motionless and silent, reduced to blackened char, with the residual fire continuing to burn.

Yan Yu watched, quite astonished, thinking to himself that he really should have brought Xiao Zhou to see how someone plays with fire magic!
