The Game with Fairies

The red dialogue box that popped up in his field of vision made Li Muyang pause.

“Shura difficulty?”

After choosing the second option, did the ink fairy really just leave like that?

Watching the huge demonic shadow slaughtering everything in the distant city, Li Muyang had Jiang Xiaoyu fight his way back.

Then he personally experienced what “Shura difficulty” entailed.

The demonized half-demon General Luo Feng had a health bar of at least 800,000.

Li Muyang’s regular attack could only chip away a couple hundred health points from Luo Feng, and even his strongest move, Soul-Cutting Gourd, could only deal a little over 10,000 damage if it hit consecutively.

On the other side, the mountainous Luo Feng needed only one sweeping attack to easily turn Li Muyang into ash.

After dying three times in a row, Li Muyang honestly reloaded the game and chose the first option.

This Shura difficulty might as well be called “impossible difficulty.”

There was no chance of winning at all!

After Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, the mysterious woman let out a soft laugh.

【Ink fairy: A half-demon rampaging in the city? Sure, I can lend you a hand.】

【Ink fairy: But little guy, are you sure you want to use your precious favor for this? You’re not from Nanjiang City, yet you care for the lives within and wish to save them. Such nobility is quite endearing.】

The ink fairy’s tone was teasing, and Li Muyang rolled his eyes.

–If I don’t clear the game, will you reward me?

After the ink fairy finished teasing, she took Jiang Xiaoyu and flew up.

She took Jiang Xiaoyu directly to the city, landing right in front of the rampaging half-demon General Luo Feng.

【Enter combat phase】

The moment this prompt appeared, Li Muyang was engulfed by dark tides and entered into the game.

He saw the floating red orb of light beside him transform into a stunningly beautiful red-clothed fairy.

She looked at Li Muyang with a smile and said, “Little guy, let’s begin.”

Li Muyang was astonished as he looked at her, recalling the opening CG of the game 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》, the beautiful Fairy Yu lying on the broken bridge… 𝑅𝔞

The ink fairy before him looked exactly like Fairy Yu!

……

After exiting the game, Li Muyang stretched lazily, feeling tired.

“The ink fairy must be the evil thoughts and three corpses split from Fairy Yu, right?”

Li Muyang murmured to himself.

This ink fairy’s form was odd, not like a living being.

It was very similar to the evil thoughts and three corpses that cultivators from the path of immortality talk about.

It’s said that some cultivators cut off their evil thoughts and three corpses to keep their spiritual platform extremely clear and pure.

With the help of the ink fairy, the demonized half-demon General Luo Feng wasn’t so tough to beat anymore.

Li Muyang’s most successful attempt saw Luo Feng’s health bar emptied by half.

Although the half-demon general looked intimidating and had powerful skills, he wasn’t as tough to fight as the monsters at the bottom of the lake.

With the ink fairy’s help, most of Luo Feng’s attacks could be blocked or dodged.

And in a game, as long as a BOSS’s attacks can be blocked or dodged, no matter how high its health bar or how strong its attacks are, defeating it is just a matter of time.

On the other hand, the monsters at the bottom of the lake with their strange attacks that ignored defense were often much more troublesome to deal with.

Li Muyang exited the game while humming a tune cheerfully.

After so many days of struggle, he was finally about to clear the game 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》.

Once he cleared the game, he would immediately choose a cultivation secret manual and then enter the Foundation Establishment phase.

As long as he became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Muyang would have the confidence to walk the outside world.

In the cultivation world, reaching the Foundation Establishment phase is an extremely important threshold.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators are as common as hairs on an ox, but Foundation Establishment cultivators are considered significant figures.

It’s like in Li Muyang’s previous life on Earth, where getting into a university through the college entrance examination was a threshold.

Although a bachelor’s degree might not be worth much, this threshold could still filter out a vast number of people.

Humming a tune, Li Muyang walked out of his room and saw Guan Xiaoshun tidying up.

Upon seeing Li Muyang come out, Guan Xiaoshun said,

“Brother Li, hurry up, we should be leaving.”

Li Muyang and the other outer disciples were assigned a task this afternoon.

Elder Yan, who had been leisurely spending many days in Demon Sword City, had finally rested enough and decided to deal with the ancient souls in the bloodstone mine.

And Li Muyang and the other outer disciples, who had come with Elder Yan, naturally had to accompany her.

Everyone was curious about the bloodstone mine.

Bloodstone is a mid-level demonic cultivation material, quite advanced for outer disciples, who almost never had the chance to come into contact with it.

Before leaving, the outer disciples were all inquiring and discussing animatedly.

Many were debating whether they would get in trouble if they casually took a couple of bloodstones from the mine and how much raw bloodstone would sell for on the market…

Compared to the optimistic outer disciples, Li Muyang, who knew the true nature of the mine, was more cautious.

He and Guan Xiaoshun walked at the end of the group, constantly observing their surroundings and looking for escape routes.

If the situation turned dire, he would run away immediately.

Just then, his little sister Li Yuechan quietly approached him.

As the siblings walked side by side, the young girl whispered,

“Brother, don’t go too far later. If something happens, we need to look out for each other…”

Li Muyang had no objections to this.

But suddenly, a low gasp arose from the crowd.

“Demons… It’s the demons from Centipede Ridge!”

Elder Yan hadn’t arrived yet, so these outer disciples were less restrained in front of Senior Brother Xiao Cheng.

When everyone saw the flamboyantly dressed and stunningly beautiful demons from Centipede Ridge appear, their eyes widened.

“So beautiful!”

“They’re all beauties…”

“Are demons really this gorgeous?”

The disciples were astonished and kept stealing glances at the group of demons not far away.

The flamboyant girlish demons also gathered together, chirping and laughing non-stop, seemingly discussing the Demonic Sect disciples on this side.

Guan Xiaoshun quietly tugged at Li Muyang’s sleeve and said, “Brother Li, stay calm. These demons eat people without spitting out their bones; don’t be bewitched by them…”

Li Muyang gave the boy an annoyed look and said, “Which eye of yours saw me being bewitched?”

Amidst the laughter and noise, Elder Yan appeared with several direct disciples.

Instantly, the group fell silent, and everyone shut their mouths.

Elder Yan glanced coldly at the crowd and said, “Let’s go.”

Accompanied by the lord of Demon Sword City, Elder Yan led the team to the entrance of the bloodstone mine in Demon Sword City.

Rows of demon-suppressing patterns were engraved on the tall bloodstone mine to suppress the demonic aura within.

Inside the bloodstone mine, the demonic aura was dense.

Li Muyang wasn’t too concerned; he just wanted to finish quickly, go back to playing his game, and get the rewards as soon as possible.

But as he followed the crowd into the bloodstone mine, shrouded in thick blood mist, he faintly heard a familiar sound of a sword’s hum.

That low, gloomy hum, like a demon’s growl, made one’s scalp tingle subconsciously.

And Li Muyang, who had died several times at the hands of the half-demon general’s sword in the game, was all too familiar with this sound.

His face suddenly changed.

The Startling Swan Immortal Sword, transformed by demonic energy… was it actually slumbering within this bloodstone mine?!
