Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 775 - 33 The Promise Once Made_2

"You’re nearby," Li Minghu immediately understood and calmly asked, "How should I find you?"

"Bluetooth settings—signal strength, check the Signal-Strength number," Yan Yu said. "At the same time, raise your phone and take a few steps around. If the number increases, it means the distance between us is growing."

"Confirmed." Li Minghu’s spatial imagination was indeed excellent—it took him just half a minute to pinpoint Yan Yu’s position relative to his own. "Wait a moment, I’m coming to find you."

"Okay," Yan Yu replied.

His phone did not have long-range Bluetooth technology, so he could only sit and wait for Li Minghu to find him.

During the wait, he glanced at the messages Li Minghu had sent him earlier.

This Mysterious Realm was a huge underground cavern. Li Minghu had explored inside for over 24 hours and still had not encountered anyone or any boundary.

Considering that a large number of people had been involved in this Mysterious Realm, it could be assumed that the realm itself was extraordinarily large, and the fact that he had been transported near Li Minghu could only be attributed to some mysterious unknown luck at play.

Or more precisely, it seemed like the bond and connections between me and the Valkyrie were at work!

Around twenty minutes later, Li Minghu finally arrived at the cave chamber where Yan Yu was.

"How are you so seriously injured?" Yan Yu stood up and asked.

"Not too bad, they are just superficial wounds." Li Minghu showed him the wounds. "The bleeding has stopped."

"Ointment." Yan Yu handed over a bottle.

"Thank you." Li Minghu did not decline; he took the ointment for external injuries and began applying it.

"What caused the injuries?" Yan Yu asked.

"Puppets," Li Minghu replied.

"Puppets?" frёeωebɳovel.com

"Not your kind of puppets," Li Minghu explained. "It was some kind of faint gray shadow capable of controlling the Flying Sword."

"Sword puppet," Yan Yu immediately concluded. "These creatures are most fond of ambushing. We must stay alert."

"Right." Li Minghu finished cleaning the arm wound and turned around. "Can you help me apply it to my back?"

She took off her outer garment, exposing a back where only an undergarment strap remained, revealing a back as white as jade, peppered with numerous scattered wounds. Most of them left only faint marks, clearly having been treated with the external ointment. The ointment had run out before she could treat the new wounds, which is why they hadn’t healed yet.

Yan Yu squeezed some ointment and began applying it to her back.

Perhaps he was applying too much pressure, for Li Minghu suddenly let out a soft moan.

"What’s wrong?"

"It’s... it’s nothing." Li Minghu said uncomfortably.

"Then I’ll continue applying." Yan Yu finished applying the ointment to the main wounds; the new flesh around the wounds was rapidly growing. This Cultivation Elixir was indeed effective!

Hmm, although there were no obvious wounds in other areas, who knew if there might be internal injuries? To be safe, I should apply it there as well.

Li Minghu frowned, initially because the touch on her wounds caused pain, so she endured it, but she found it strange and baffling that there was no pain where Yan Yu applied the ointment later.

"I’ve finished applying to the back," Yan Yu said. "Turn around, let me apply it to the front."

"I can apply it to the front myself," Li Minghu said.

"Oh, here you go," Yan Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ah, this Valkyrie is great in all aspects, just a bit too shy! She should learn from Hongyu. Nowadays, modesty is not really a virtue for young women!

Li Minghu finished treating her injuries, then put her outer garment back on and said,

"Let’s go."

The two walked together along the cave passage and soon reached the main cavern again, where Yan Yu saw the massive sword at the center.

"The True Obscurity Sword Sect?" he recalled for a moment, confirming that he had not heard of this sect in his previous life.

However, "True Obscurity" belonged to the Cultivation lexicon, like the "Qianling True Obscurity Fire" he had encountered before in the Departure Palace, so it was hard to glean much information from just a name.

"Can you tell its history?" Li Minghu asked.

"I don’t know," Yan Yu shook his head. "When we encounter a sword puppet later, we might see what kind of swordsmanship it uses."

The two continued down along the cliffside path, seeing the path grow narrower. Eventually, even with their backs pressed against the cliff wall, the fronts of their feet had to hang in the air.

"Are you sure we should be heading down instead of up?" Yan Yu asked.

"I came from the very top," Li Minghu replied. "When I reach a fork, I always choose the path that goes higher."

"You ended up here, which means there was no way to go further up," Yan Yu quickly concluded. "We are most likely at the upper boundary of the Mysterious Realm, and the main body of the realm should be deeper down."

"That’s right." Li Minghu smiled. She found that her communication with Yan Yu was so in sync that often things didn’t need to be spelled out; she just began to speak, and he already guessed all your thoughts on the other end.

"We can’t use Sword Flight here; we still need to be cautious with every step," Yan Yu cautioned. "Make sure each foot is firmly placed before shifting your weight."

"Right..." Li Minghu hadn’t finished speaking when her body suddenly leaned towards the right and downward.

It was not because she stepped into empty space, but because the rock that supported her weight suddenly crumbled!

Yan Yu was quick with his reflexes, swiftly grabbing her forearm, yet he was pulled off balance and began to fall as well. In midair, he quickly held Li Minghu in his arms and began using the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, with his Divine Sense immediately locking onto a protruding rock below.

Step!

He bent his knees rapidly to disperse the force, but the rock obviously couldn’t support their weight and soon broke off at the protrusion.

The two slightly slowed down but then continued to fall again. After that, they found no similar foothold, and their fall accelerated even more.
