“There is another possibility…”
Li Muyang looked at the bluestone pavement under his feet, and said, “The game might affect reality only after it’s been cleared.”
After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang shook his head.
“Forget it, what’s the use of thinking so much? Just continue playing the game.”
He noted the approximate location of that stone slab, planning to come back and check it after the game was cleared.
This system didn’t even provide a manual, so Li Muyang had to figure out many of the details on his own.
However, the legends of “Immortal Sword” and “Deadly Weeds” were events from thousands of years ago.
Even if they truly had an impact on reality, they were far too distant from Li Muyang.
For now, getting the game rewards was the top priority.
Li Muyang was getting closer and closer to Foundation Establishment and desperately needed a cultivation manual.
He found a secluded spot nearby and entered the game.
Carrying the head of the Human Puppet Master and the Startling Swan Immortal Sword through the combat zone, Li Muyang once again located the half-demon general Luo Feng.
As he left the combat zone, with Li Muyang’s disengagement from the fight, the game’s perspective shifted back to third-person omniscient.
Jiang Xiaoyu, carrying the mission items, found Luo Feng.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Here is the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, who do you wish to kill?]
According to their agreement, after Luo Feng used the sword to kill the person he wanted, he would hand the Immortal Sword over to Jiang Xiaoyu, who would then deal with it as he saw fit.
Now that he saw the Startling Swan Immortal Sword brought back by Jiang Xiaoyu, Luo Feng’s expression showed a hint of excitement.
[Luo Feng: Startling Swan Immortal Sword…]
He reached out to take the sword, his trembling fingertips gently caressing its blade as he murmured under his breath.
[Luo Feng: Immortal Sword, I wish to avenge the fairy. Will you assist me?]
As Luo Feng finished speaking, the Immortal Sword in his hand remained motionless.
[Luo Feng: …in this city, demons and the Human Race have survived only because of the fairy’s protection.]
[Luo Feng: In the dark times of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, if it weren’t for the fairy who founded Nanjiang City, all its people would have perished.]
[Luo Feng: But despite her many years of protection, she’s raised a pack of ingrates.]
[Luo Feng: These scum received the fairy’s protection but showed no gratitude; instead, they spread rumors and smeared her name.]
[Luo Feng: A bunch of fools!]
[Luo Feng: Those demon and human leaders harbor evil designs, each scheming to monopolize Nanjiang City, their minds full of plots and tricks.]
[Luo Feng: And those stupid mortals below, they’ve been sold out yet help these schemers count their money, following along shouting about being imprisoned by the fairy… Fools! They’ve betrayed the fairy, they all deserve to die!]
[Luo Feng: The people who believe rumors and slander the fairy are foolish, those leaders with nefarious intentions are wicked. A bunch of both foolish and wicked people, they all deserve to die.]
[Luo Feng: That’s why I want to massacre Nanjiang City, to slaughter every living being within. They owe their lives to the fairy’s protection; if they can’t be grateful, then they should surrender their lives back to her.]
The young half-demon general Luo Feng, with the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in hand, had cold eyes.
[Luo Feng: Immortal Sword! Don’t you feel wronged? Don’t you feel hatred?]
[Luo Feng: The fairy gave everything to Nanjiang City, even perished in the end defending it, and after her death, she was still vilified by these fools. When you saw the celebration within the city for the fairy’s demise, didn’t you feel outraged?]
The half-demon general Luo Feng’s tone was grim as he revealed his plan.
And Jiang Xiaoyu, overhearing this, was shocked and rendered speechless.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: You… The people you wish to kill with the sword, are all the living souls of Nanjiang City?]
Jiang Xiaoyu was taken aback by the half-demon general.
Outside the game, Li Muyang also widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the half-demon general Luo Feng.
What a character!
Great Western King, huh?
“`
So bloodthirsty?
In the game, as soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, the Startling Swan Immortal Sword trembled lightly, responding to him.
The half-demon general who saw the Immortal Sword’s response immediately wore a broad smile on his face.
[Luo Feng: Good! Immortal Sword, I understand.]
[Luo Feng: Since that’s the case, let us join forces and slaughter all the fools in the city of Nanjiang!]
[Luo Feng: Ungrateful scum don’t deserve to live in this world!]
After receiving a response from the Immortal Sword, the half-demon general Luo Feng’s entire presence underwent a drastic change.
A violent aura of red and black malevolence manifested from thin air around him.
Under the swirling of this malevolent aura, even the space around Luo Feng seemed somewhat distorted.
Standing there, his figure instantly expanded several times, malevolent armor created from the condensed aura covered his entire body, making him appear like a legendary demon king that was deeply unsettling.
A red and black tattered cape fluttered behind him.
The Startling Swan Immortal Sword in his hands grew along with his expanding size.
At this moment, there wasn’t a trace of Immortal Spirit Qi on the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, instead, it was engulfed by the violent malevolent aura.
Luo Feng, holding the huge demonic sword, stood in the midst of the city, extraordinarily prominent.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: …Luo Feng, aren’t you being a bit too extreme?]
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu stood at Luo Feng’s feet, appearing exceedingly tiny.
But he still hesitantly tried to persuade.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Even if there are many foolish people in the city who slandered Lady Jade, I believe they are definitely not the majority.]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: There must be people in this city who are grateful to Lady Jade and who don’t follow the crowd. You want to kill every living thing in the city… Are you also going to exterminate these people?]
Jiang Xiaoyu attempted to persuade.
However, the demonized half-demon general looked down at him indifferently and let out a cold laugh.
[Luo Feng: So what? When the nest is overturned, how can there be any intact eggs!]
[Luo Feng: Let them hate that they lived in this dark era plagued by the five declinations of heaven and man, among these ungrateful wretches.]
[Luo Feng: I would rather kill mistakenly than to let a single one go!]
[Luo Feng: Everyone in Nanjiang city, be they demons or human race, must die!]
The demonized half-demon general Luo Feng stood with the massive demonic sword in hand, roaring to the skies.
The wild Demonic Qi spread in all directions with his roar.
The next instant, he took a step forward and headed straight towards the most lively and chaotic battle zone in the city.
With a swing of the giant demonic sword, swathes of pitch-black Sword Qi swept out, and countless humans and demons perished under its sweep, screaming their last.
Though the demonic sword’s power was shocking, it didn’t harm inanimate objects such as streets or walls.
However, the Sword Qi could penetrate walls and houses.
As the swathes of Sword Qi swept past, piercing through the streets and houses along the way, all living beings caught in its path died completely, turning into flying ash.
This spectacular and chilling scene was almost as terrifying as the time Granny Valley summoned the Evil God.
It made onlookers’ scalps tingle.
“…Has the Immortal Sword turned into a demonic sword?”
Li Muyang, watching this scene from a third-person perspective, was stunned.
The young half-demon general, who had seemed so gentle and refined, was also one of the selectable protagonists in the game. Li Muyang had thought that the story would ultimately lead to Jiang Xiaoyu and Luo Feng joining forces to defeat all the monsters in the city and restore order.
In the end, the plot twisted so that the demons were no longer important; Luo Feng transformed and became the final boss?
My god!
This plot is too thrilling.
