Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 543 - 39: Destined to Win

Flames danced wildly, the sea of fire boiling!

Anna moved her hands slowly, as if she were a conductor of a symphony orchestra, and countless fiery pythons followed her rhythm, licking in all directions. For a moment, it seemed as though the flames enveloped the entire sky, sweeping across the town.

The remaining werewolves that had not been burned to death saw that the situation was bad and quickly scattered to flee. Some dashed into houses, others down alleys, not needing to outrun the blazing serpents; as long as they could run faster than their companions, that was enough.

Yan Yu watched silently from the side, only to see numerous homes around the sea of fire ignited, and the frightened residents running out with their families in tow.

When Transcendents battle, it is always the mortals who suffer!

Seeing Yan Yu's slight frown, Anna, who was still maintaining the spell, explained,

"The chances are high that the lord of this place is already dead. Peter has taken control of the gang, ordering the werewolves to besiege us in order to deplete my mana, so we cannot get entangled with them for too long."

"I'm now setting fire to the city. Even if Peter can stay put, these local werewolves might not be able to endure it. Just wait until someone comes forward to inform us, telling me where Peter is."

"Hmm," Yan Yu said, "I am not very familiar with the customs here; please do as you see fit."

Anna continued to set the city ablaze. Before long, indeed a werewolf dashed into the sea of fire, shouting,

"Stop the fire! Do you want to destroy the entire city? Peter is in the chemical plant over there!"

"Oh?" Anna said with a cold laugh, "Then lead the way."

"Alright!" The werewolf hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

No sooner had he turned around than Anna pointed at his back. The werewolf's body immediately stiffened and was then thoroughly devoured by the nearby fire serpents, turning to ashes.

Yan Yu did not understand Rakshasa's language, but luckily Anna quickly explained,

"That werewolf wanted to lure me into an ambush. Just wait a bit longer; I don't believe they can keep this secret forever."

"I just worry your mana might not suffice," Yan Yu said.

"It's fine." Anna took out a small crystal vial from her bosom, filled with a deep green potion, and drank it all in one gulp.

As long as there's no combat and she can take her time to replenish with potions, sustaining mana is quite manageable.

The other side probably knew better than to hope for her mana to be exhausted, so another person rushed into the sea of fire, this time looking like a mortal without extraordinary powers, his eyes filled with terror, panting heavily,

"Stop the fire! Peter is in that building over there!"

"Lead the way," Anna said.

"Are you crazy?" The man's eyes bulged, "If I lead the way there and they discover it, I'll be the first to die!"

"How many people do they have?" Anna asked again.

"I don't know," the man spoke swiftly, "Peter took three people with him and, after the lord was defeated in a duel, a bunch of werewolves also swore allegiance to him, so I don't know how many enemies are over there! You should conserve your mana and stop burning this place down!"

Anna pondered for a moment, then waved her hand for him to get lost quickly.

"Is the information given by this man true?" Yan Yu finally asked.

"Don't know," Anna shook her head, "There are no obvious flaws; we might as well go and have a look."

The two flew towards the distant building; Yan Yu controlled the flight with the sword when suddenly he spotted a flash of cold light from the top of the building.

"Gun." As Yan Yu transmitted his warning to Anna, the sword light suddenly shone brilliantly.

Sword-Human Unity!

The surge of sword light concealed Anna's figure. The sniper above lost his target and could only fire blindly at the position he recalled, pulling the trigger for a blind shot.

Then, his vision was completely overwhelmed by sword light.

Utilizing Sword-Human Unity, Yan Yu rapidly approached the sniper's position. The robust sword light tore apart the gun and the sniper's entire body, then pierced through the concrete wall behind him, bursting out from the other side of the building and sharply turning mid-air.

Anna was also shaken. When she went on campaigns in the past, it wasn't as if she hadn't been ambushed by modern weapons, but most of the time, she could react ahead of time using the witch's "Spiritual Perception." However, this time the enemy employed a sniper rifle, hiding hundreds of meters away, beyond the limits of Spiritual Perception.

Once the bullet entered the range of Spiritual Perception, reacting would definitely be too late.

An infuriated Anna immediately dropped her broom and swiftly hid in the shadows of the building, concealing her figure as she moved forward silently.

But the enemies inside the building no longer had time to search for her, as Yan Yu once again charged into the lower floors with his Flying Sword, leaving the defending werewolves decimated, limbs strewn about in disarray!

In the security center, witnessing the hellish scene on the screens, Peter finally stood up:

"I will deal with him," he said.

"Wait a moment," Sullivan said, "He's just luring the enemy out. The Eclipse Queen, Anna, has yet to appear."

"Even if the two of them come at me together, I am not afraid," Peter said proudly.

Sullivan was silent for a moment before speaking:

"But he is not worthy. How can the dignity of a king be affronted by ordinary soldiers?"

This comment seemed to scratch Emperor Peter exactly where he itched, so he sat back down and asked:

"Then who among you will take him down?"

"I'll go," Xie Liufu stood up.

"Xie Liufu is adept at defense. Against a mobile and flexible Lu Country Sword Immortal, there could be no better match," Sullivan agreed, "You'll win."

Having wiped out everyone in the vicinity, Yan Yu wondered whether he should explore upwards or downwards next, or perhaps run outside the building to wait for Anna?

Suddenly, he heard a massive crash, as the wall directly to his right front collapsed.

From within emerged a giant man with a full beard and bulging muscles, carrying a huge double-bladed battle axe in his right hand and a smaller throwing axe in his left, appearing before Yan Yu with a nonchalant air.

Yan Yu studied his face carefully.

He had never seen this man in his past life; probably one of the extras killed off by the Eclipse Queen.

"Grey Blood Xie Liufu," the man announced his name in a muffled voice.

Yan Yu did not respond, but slightly curved his finger, signaling him to bring on the fight.

In the Western world, exchanging nicknames is part of the dueling etiquette, ensuring that if one were to die in battle, at least the opponent would know who they had slain—if one did not announce their name, it carried a humiliating implication that your death was certain.

As expected, Xie Liufu was provoked. His left hand swiped at his waist and he hurled the throwing axe, trailing a low whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

Yan Yu quickly sidestepped to avoid it, his Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step already executed as he vanished behind the cubicles in an instant; meanwhile, the Huang Ting Sword flew high into the air, descending towards Xie Liufu's head.

With a roar, Xie Liufu swung the double-bladed battle axe with his right hand, deflecting the Huang Ting Sword away.

Such tremendous strength! Yan Yu was somewhat surprised.

The Huang Ting Sword was a heavy blade, and with the force driven by the Sword Control Technique, even a tank cover could be split apart. That it was repelled by the Berserker's battle axe indicated the colossal strength of his opponent, which, even among the Berserkers of the world, was a force to be reckoned with.

If he had not been eliminated early by the Eclipse Queen in his past life, he probably could have made quite a name for himself.

The Liangyi Sword shot out from the shadows, only to be blocked by Xie Liufu's second, smaller axe. Yan Yu's hand continuously shifted his sword technique. He observed that this man possessed an incredibly strong physique and exquisite combat skills, making him the type of enemy a Sword Immortal least liked to face—firstly, because the man wielded massive weapons that made it difficult for a flying sword to penetrate, and secondly, even if he was injured, his robust body suggested that his vitality would be extremely hard to extinguish; he was simply not easy to kill.

Forget it, time to cheat! No more tangling with him!

Yan Yu flicked his sleeve, releasing the Puppet Silver Pellet which transformed into the slender-legged beauty Ah Zhen, with slightly parted lips.

Anna had already burst into the first floor of the building, also appearing on the security cameras.

Without a second word, Peter picked up his golden greatsword and rushed out of the room, leaping down the stairs.

A battle of kings, to decide life and death!

Sullivan waved his hand, and two muscular men armed with machine guns proceeded with their orders. If Peter couldn't win the duel, they would use modern weaponry to give Anna a "Sir, the era has not changed" treatment.

But turning his head, Sullivan saw that the upper floor had been engulfed in flames, leaving only the half-burned corpse of Xie Liufu standing in the camera's view, with a cauterized slash at his waist bereft of any blood...a sight that shocked Sullivan!

Something was wrong! Since when did a Lu Country Sword Immortal possess spells?

Could it be that the Anna below was merely an imposter, and the true Queen Witch was upstairs?
