“Jiang Xiaoyu! You dare to hinder me!”
The blood-evil energy surged to the sky in Nanjiang City, which had already become a river of blood.
The tragic deaths of hundreds of thousands of creatures almost solidified the blood-evil energy that permeated the city.
Luo Feng, the demonized half-demon general, gigantic as a mountain, had a ferocious face.
By this point, he had been driven to a dead end by Li Muyang and Ink Fairy.
His half-demon soldiers had been almost completely slain by Li Muyang, leaving him without any minions.
With the suppression from Ink Fairy, Luo Feng’s magic sword greatly reduced in power.
Now, as Li Muyang had eliminated all his minions, this demonized half-demon general, backed into a corner, roared in fury.
Yet Li Muyang remained unfazed, entirely ignoring the enormous boss’s roar.
His attention was fully on the boss’s health bar.
Luo Feng’s health bar was left at only ten percent.
Having been cornered, the demonized half-demon general Luo Feng entered a frenzied mode.
His body continuously mutated, and the degree of demonization deepened.
Eventually, he transformed into a huge demonic dog, with fangs alone several meters long.
With a heavenward howl, he carried an immense magic sword in his mouth, and with a toss of his head, waves of pitch-black Sword Qi covered everything and quickly overwhelmed the street where Li Muyang was.
But Li Muyang, well-prepared, dodged the instant the Sword Qi surged.
He then activated the Dharma Annihilation Wheel, launching a lethal move against the enormous monster.
With the Startling Swan Sword Technique powering the Dharma Annihilation Wheel, its power ascended another level.
A brilliant blue light flashed through the air, and a critical strike number popped above the boss’s head.
[-3321]
Although the frenzied giant demonic dog’s skill range increased, its defense had fallen.
Ink Fairy laughed gleefully, flying around the huge demonic dog, continuously drawing its attention.
Li Muyang took advantage of the boss’s focus on attacking Ink Fairy to keep dealing damage to the boss.
Finally, with a painful whimper, the huge, mountain-like demonic dog exploded and dissipated into the air as black smoke.
Luo Feng, the half-demon general now returned to human form, lay broken on the ground.
[Demonized half-demon general Luo Feng defeated]
This notice popped up in Li Muyang’s view, after which he was engulfed in darkness and restored to a third-person perspective.
In the game screen, Jiang Xiaoyu walked up to the demonized half-demon general Luo Feng.
However, the uncontrollable Startling Geese Magic Sword flew up suddenly, stabbing directly toward Jiang Xiaoyu.
In this critical moment, the game echoed with the sudden, urgent incantations of Ink Fairy.
She activated the Startling Swan Sword Technique, forcibly stopping the rampaging magic sword.
The magic sword hovered in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, who, in-game, broke out in a cold sweat.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: This sword has gone mad…]
With no one wielding it, yet it actively attacks him, gone was the ethereal aura of an Immortal Sword.
Ink Fairy raised her hand, activating the Startling Swan Sword Technique, forcibly drawing the magic sword into her hands.
[Ink Fairy: You’re right, this sword has indeed gone mad]
[Ink Fairy: It has killed too many and absorbed too much resentment and malicious intent, completely demonizing it. Even though Luo Feng has been defeated, this magic sword continues to crave the slaughter of lives]
Ink Fairy stroked the constantly trembling magic sword, her expression somewhat sad.
The mysterious figure of Granny Valley appeared amid the ruins at this time.
[Granny Valley: There is another way to seal the sword underground, suppressing it alongside the resentful blood aura that pervades the city.]
[Granny Valley: After a thousand years, when the blood aura has settled and dissipated, the magic sword will shed all resentment and revert back to the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.]
The Ink Fairy, dressed in red, sighed and shook her head. Your next chapter awaits on empire
[Ink Fairy: The world is perilous, and all beings suffer. Who knows what the situation will be like after a thousand years?]
As the Ink Fairy spoke, she turned to look at Jiang Xiaoyu.
[Ink Fairy: Jiang Xiaoyu, you saved the souls of Nanjiang City, defeated Luo Feng… What do you think should be done with this sword?]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Let’s do as Granny Valley suggested, and suppress the sword underground. The blood aura in the city is so intense; if left unchecked, it would inevitably breed a terrifying specter.]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Using the magic sword to suppress the city’s malevolent aura would kill two birds with one stone, removing both threats.]
Jiang Xiaoyu stood atop the ruins, gazing out over the expanse of Nanjiang City, and sighed softly.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: It’s a pity, such a fine city Nanjiang was, now it’s ruined. Without Nanjiang City, all its people will become prey to the wild spirits of the wilderness…]
Jiang Xiaoyu’s tone was complex.
However, the Ink Fairy merely chuckled softly.
[Ink Fairy: What nonsense are you spouting, you rascal. If the Jade Fairy could build Nanjiang City from nothing, am I, the Ink Fairy, any lesser?]
[Ink Fairy: This fairy here is lacking a domain, so I’ve decided it shall be Nanjiang City. From now on, Nanjiang City belongs to me, and all its creatures fall under my control.]
[Ink Fairy: Granny Valley, you have no objections, right? Whether assisting the Jade Fairy or me, it’s all the same. The rules set by the Jade Fairy, that demons and humans alike may reside here, will still apply.]
[Ink Fairy: Just, this fairy has quite a temper, not as easy-going as the Jade Fairy. Whether it be the demons and ghosts here, or human cultivators, whoever dares challenge me… hehe… I’ll take them down to vent my anger first!]
The Ink Fairy in red chuckled, raising an eyebrow at Granny Valley.
Her words sounded less like a discussion and more like a decree, brooking no refusal.
Granny Valley remained silent for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.
[Granny Valley: …Do I even have a choice?]
The Ink Fairy laughed heartily, joyously crossing her arms.
[Ink Fairy: Good! From now on, Nanjiang City is my territory!]
[Ink Fairy: Jiang Xiaoyu, you have achieved a great feat. I could give you Luo Feng’s position… How about it? Interested?]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: No, thanks. I’m merely a passerby, and now that this matter is settled, it’s time for me to leave Nanjiang City. I’ll visit you if I happen to pass by again.]
Jiang Xiaoyu spoke with a nonchalant air.
Though the battle had just ended, he had already turned to leave.
The Ink Fairy did not attempt to retain him.
[Ink Fairy: Leaving is probably for the best. In today’s world, Nanjiang City is no place of peace, and staying might not bring good outcomes.]
[Ink Fairy: But lad, the next time you pass through Nanjiang City, if this fairy is still alive, make sure to find me. I still owe you a favor!]
The Ink Fairy’s laughter was hearty; she made no move to keep Jiang Xiaoyu back.
Jiang Xiaoyu waved without turning his head and disappeared under the blood-red sunset.
The game screen froze at this scene.
[Game—Legend of the Immortal Sword Cleared]
As Jiang Xiaoyu’s silhouette vanished into the blood-red sunset, a game completion alert popped up in Li Muyang’s view.
Seeing the end credits, Li Muyang sat up straighter, invigorated.
After such a long struggle, he had finally cleared the game.
Legend of the Immortal Sword was definitely the most time-consuming game he had played so far.
And it was also much harder than any other game.
Now that he had successfully cleared it, he wondered what reward he would get.
