In Nanjiang City, smoke billowed and shouts of killing shook the heavens.
After demonizing, the half-demon General Luo Feng’s figure was massive, like a mountain spanning across the city.
The houses and residences within Nanjiang City were only as high as his knees, making him appear even more towering.
He ceaselessly swung the demon sword in his hand, a pitch-black Sword Qi sweeping and reaping lives throughout the city.
The intense battle raging within the city was abruptly halted.
Luo Feng’s indiscriminate killing of both demons and the Human Race forced both sides to temporarily cease their attacks.
The leadership of both the Human Race and the demons soared into the sky, trying to stop Luo Feng.
However, after demonizing, the violently malevolent aura of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword made it so that under its sweep of Sword Qi, there was hardly an enemy in a single match.
The figures flying around Luo Feng were all top fighters from their respective groups.
However, at this moment, facing the demonized Luo Feng, they dared not approach and could only engage in a distant struggle, trying to stop Luo Feng’s massacre.
Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu running through the chaotic city, constantly witnessing half-demons along the roadside slaughtering every living being they came across.
Rivers of blood and widespread lamentation described Nanjiang City at that moment, as if the city full of cheers and celebration from the previous day was another age entirely.
This time, Li Muyang controlling Jiang Xiaoyu effortlessly reached the broken bridge within the city.
On the desolate surface of Drowning Soul Lake, there were no ripples on the water, and no one was seen by the lakeshore.
Li Muyang controlling Jiang Xiaoyu walked onto the broken bridge and directly leaped down.
After entering the water, Jiang Xiaoyu’s Drowning Soul Order emitted a faint glow.
This glow coated Jiang Xiaoyu with a transparent film, allowing him to breathe underwater.
And the Drowning Soul Order’s glow faintly transformed into an arrow pointing forward.
Following the direction indicated by the arrow, Jiang Xiaoyu swam ahead.
Under the dark and eerie Drowning Soul Lake, not a single fish was seen.
Waterweeds entwined at the lake bottom surged with the water flow, resembling boneless arms swaying.
Jiang Xiaoyu swam deeper into Drowning Soul Lake and finally saw the ancient well mentioned by Granny Gu.
There was a well in the lake; this scene looked somewhat odd.
Jiang Xiaoyu swam over and landed next to the ancient well.
From a third-person perspective, Li Muyang saw a pale red light orb floating inside the well.
Countless intersecting cold chains entwined inside the well, tightly locking up the orb of light.
“Is this light orb the residual soul mentioned by Granny Gu?”
Li Muyang prepared to release the light orb.
But at that moment, the game’s background music suddenly became sinister and unsettling.
A black fog enveloped a fat, dark shadow that emerged from the deep waterweeds of Drowning Soul Lake.
In its hand, it dragged a strangely shaped large knife, its corpulent body covered in fat. Layers of fat piled up on its belly, ugly and nauseating.
This monster’s back was also covered with long, strange dark cyan hair.
As the monster swam rapidly, those dark cyan hairs on its back dragged through the water.
In Li Muyang’s view, a long BOSS health bar appeared.
“Azure-Haired Beast”
The feeling of being submerged by dark tides emerged once again.
When Li Muyang entered the game, he saw that the dark fog-enshrouded chubby monster quickly approached him.
The background music’s BGM became shrill and penetrating, like a female ghost wailing piteously.
Paired with this frightfully ugly non-human monster, the horror experience was maximized!
Li Muyang immediately summoned the Extinguishing Wheel, which rapidly spun underwater, transforming into a cold light aiming at the sea monster.
Stay connected through empire
However, as the monster dodged the wheel, its body violently shook.
Long dark cyan bizarre hairs were flung from it.
These hairs moved as if alive in the water, ceaselessly wriggling and chasing Li Muyang.
Li Muyang gathered power trying to block them, but those snake-like cyan hairs ignored his defenses and directly burrowed into his body.
In a flash, Li Muyang was pierced by hundreds of green hairs and fell down, his body stiff.
[Victory and defeat are common for those in battle, please retry.]
Staring at the failure message that popped up in his view, Li Muyang was startled.
“…Dead just like that? This monster’s skills can ignore defense?”
That’s a bit absurd.
He was killed in an instant.
It was his first encounter with a creature that could ignore defense; everything about Drowning Soul Lake was deeply sinister.
Li Muyang pondered for a moment before reentering the game and loading his save.
Jiang Xiaoyu swam in the lake and arrived beside the ancient well in the middle of it.
Not far away, in the dark aquatic plants, a rolling black fog approached, and the game’s background music suddenly turned gloomily eerie.
Facing that monster with bulging flesh, ugly and nauseating, Li Muyang immediately released the Law Annihilation Wheel.
The wheel flew through the water and struck directly into the black fog.
[-139]
Simultaneously, Li Muyang pulled out the Soul Cleaving Gourd and unleashed flying knives at the monster.
17 flying knives shot out almost at once, but the monster was more agile than expected.
It raised its strange greatsword, slicing through the air, blocking nearly all the 17 knives, with only one striking its target.
[-799]
The damage from the Soul Cleaving Flying Knife was still astounding, but it was a pity it only hit once.
After blocking all the flying knives, the green-haired monster immediately shook its body, and the green long hairs swarming behind it moved like water snakes, chasing after Li Muyang.
The dense green hairs overwhelmed him; Li Muyang continually changed direction in the water, attempting to escape the hair’s pursuit. However, the eerie hair chased him relentlessly and eventually caught up with him.
[Victory and defeat are common for those in battle, please retry.]
“…”
Li Muyang, failing yet again, rubbed his brow wordlessly.
“This is quite difficult.”
The guardian of the well, this BOSS, had a fragile health bar, even lower than that of the Human Puppet Master.
But its bizarre skill that ignored defense was really troublesome.
If he confronted it head-on, it was almost an instant kill.
But trying to attack it with ranged skills, it could fend off with its greatsword.
“It can’t possibly expect me to rush up and slash it face-to-face, can it?”
Li Muyang, suspicious, entered the game and loaded his save again.
This time he didn’t use his ranged skills but directly rushed toward the black fog with the Law Annihilation Wheel.
When that monster with a sinister BMG charged out of the underwater plants, Li Muyang swung the wheel in his hand and gave it a fierce strike.
[-116]
The Law Annihilation Wheel slashed across the monster, causing the bulky unsettling creature to stiffen and pause momentarily.
Taking advantage of the heat, Li Muyang quickly swung the Law Annihilation Wheel at the monster two more times.
[-97]
[-104]
After two damage numbers popped up, the monster’s stiff state disappeared.
The next second, it furiously swung its greatsword at Li Muyang.
Li Muyang rolled to dodge and again swung the wheel at the monster fiercely.
[-87]
Seeing the damage numbers rise and realizing that the monster didn’t throw any green hairs this time, Li Muyang finally confirmed that close combat was the way to go.
He must suppress it in close combat, leaving it no room to toss its head, not giving it a chance to use its skills.
