The demonized half-demon General Luo Feng was extremely angry about Li Muyang joining the battlefield.
Because not only had Li Muyang joined the battlefield, but he had also brought along a troublesome person capable of dealing with it.
Ink Fairy.
[Ink Fairy: “Hey! Little Luo Feng, after so many years we meet again, and you ignore me upon seeing me? You’ve become less fun to play with.”]
Ink Fairy had an opinion about Luo Feng’s behavior of not speaking to her first after their reunion.
The gigantic demonized general’s sword momentum briefly paused, then his complexion turned dark.
[Half-demon General Luo Feng: “Don’t talk to me in that tone! You fake! You’re not a fairy, you don’t deserve to show off using her identity!”]
The enraged demonized general swung his magic sword, and the sword strike originally directed at Li Muyang now changed direction, slicing toward Ink Fairy.
A red orb violently shook in midair, and a fairy in red attire who almost looked identical to Yu Chan emerged, suddenly dodging to the distance.
[Ink Fairy: “Wow! So fierce upon meeting… Little Luo Feng, you really aren’t cute after growing up.”]
Ink Fairy teased and laughed, continuously provoking the emotions of the demonized half-demon general with her words.
The half-demon general Luo Feng, dark and angry, no longer slaughtered the beings within the city, but swung his magic sword to continuously attack Ink Fairy.
On the edge of the battlefield, Li Muyang took the opportunity to ambush, constantly releasing skills to attack the giant demonized half-demon.
But this mountainous behemoth kept running rampage in the city, sometimes escaping the range of Li Muyang’s attacks.
After the demonized half-demon general left, half-demons under Luo Feng’s command started to emerge from the ground, surging towards Li Muyang.
The battle process was Li Muyang hacking at these elite minions, periodically catching up to half-demon General Luo Feng, inflicting damage on him, and then being surrounded by another group of half-demons.
The confrontation between Ink Fairy and Luo Feng was the main battlefield.
Li Muyang was somewhat hallucinating through this game-like experience of chasing and cutting down the giant, feeling like he was playing the “God of War” series from past years.
However, the difficulty was much higher than “God of War”.
The fight also dragged on very long.
But Li Muyang didn’t mind it.
As he chopped down more and more half-demons, the experience points of the Law Extinguishing Wheel steadily increased.
This was simply a trial field for grinding experience points for the Law Extinguishing Wheel!
Li Muyang could be sure that when he cleared this game, not only would he be able to get the secret manual as a reward, but he would also be able to upgrade the Law Extinguishing Wheel from ordinary grade to the lower-grade spiritual artifact level.
…
“It’s just that clearing this game is a bit tough.”
Once again, Li Muyang sighed as he opened his eyes to the sound of Guan Xiaoshun’s shouting in the courtyard.
Another day had passed, and he still hadn’t defeated Luo Feng.
This guy’s health bar was frighteningly long, and he would even use skills to heal himself during the battle.
Li Muyang’s attacks against this gargantuan boss with over eight hundred thousand health points felt like merely scratching an itch.
Although Ink Fairy could draw Luo Feng’s attention, all her attacks against Luo Feng were blocked by him.
All the damage depended on Li Muyang alone.
Li Muyang, with his attacks dealing only about a hundred or so points of damage, trying to take down Luo Feng with over eight hundred thousand health… this was clearly a grind.
Li Muyang rolled out of bed and shook his head.
“Let’s grind. A few days of playing games for a cultivation secret manual, there’s nothing more thrilling than this in the world.”
Compared with the generous rewards, dying a few more times in the game was entirely acceptable!
Li Muyang stretched lazily, loosened up his muscles, and then headed out with Guan Xiaoshun.
As before, they gathered at the entrance of Wamu Alley, and more than a hundred Outer Sect Disciples, led by Senior Brother Cheng, arrived at the entrance of the Bloodstone Mine.
Finally, everyone entered in single file, groups of three received formation flags, and then they reached yesterday’s location to set them up.
What followed was another whole night of tough endurance.
Li Muyang, Li Yuechan, and Guan Xiaoshun stood guard beside the formation flags, but they didn’t see any ghosts.
The three of them whispered softly among themselves, chatting about this and that, and blatantly slacked off to pass the time.
This regular, back-and-forth lifestyle went on for a full ten days.
After ten days of operating the Soul Refining Formation inside the Bloodstone Mine, it finally began to show some effects.
While Li Muyang and the others were guarding the flags, they faintly heard the mournful wails and roars of the tormented souls from deep within the mine.
Elder Yan’s formation had finally cornered this group of ancient lingering souls, making it difficult for them to hide any longer.
At the same time, Li Muyang’s game was finally seeing the first light of a successful clear.
In his most recent failure, Li Muyang had depleted nine-tenths of the demonic general Luo Feng’s health bar, leaving just a tiny sliver remaining.
Although the boss, now in its dying blood state, went completely berserk and entered a furious mode, increasing its attack frequency and range by several folds, Li Muyang was caught off guard and slain in an instant.
But Li Muyang was not discouraged after being killed instantly.
Years of gaming experience told him, the boss’s fury mode was its final desperate struggle.
As long as he could withstand this final frenzy, he would be able to defeat this formidable demonized boss and clear “Immortal Sword Legend”.
“Us ordinary folk, oh, are so happy today~~”
Humming a cheerful tune, Li Muyang walked out the door, meeting up with Guan Xiaoshun to head to the alley for the gathering.
Curious, Guan Xiaoshun scratched his head and asked, “Brother Li, you seem really happy today? Is there some kind of good news?”
Before Li Muyang could reply, his step-sister Li Yuechan suddenly darted out from the shadows.
The girl said with a mischievous smile, “It’s rare to see you so happy, brother… What’s the matter? Did a beautiful sister agree to be with you?”
Li Yuechan smirked as she teased Li Muyang, while secretly observing his and Guan Xiaoshun’s reactions.
For some reason, this step-sister had recently taken to teasing Li Muyang with topics about romantic affairs.
Li Muyang strongly suspected that the parents back home in Jiuyuan City had sent letters urging Li Yuechan to nudge him to find a wife.
After all, Li Muyang was nearly eighteen, and according to the simple world view of this world, an eighteen-year-old man should be considering marriage.
Faced with his step-sister’s teasing, Li Muyang shrugged as he always did.
“Forget beautiful sisters, I might consider a female ghost. I’m not interested in the living.”
Li Muyang continued to talk nonsense.
Following the team, the three of them stepped into the Bloodstone Mine, thick with the qi of blood and death.
But the moment he stepped into the mine, Li Muyang paused.
In his ears, he faintly heard the extreme cries of a woman’s wail.
It was as if there really was a female ghost deep in the mine…
Li Muyang suddenly felt stunned and somewhat panicked.
“Damn! Did I just jinx it?”
He looked around in alarm, realizing that he was not the only one who had heard the wail of the female ghost—everyone had.
Guan Xiaoshun and Li Yuechan both gave him a meaningful look.
“That… Brother, be honest, have you found a female ghost behind our backs these past ten days?”
With a strange look in her eyes, Li Yuechan whispered, “She’s not coming to find you now, is she?”
