Chapter 90
He wasn’t afraid of the demons and ghosts in the city, nor the group of human strongmen, but he was particularly wary of Granny Gu.
Li Muyang was very curious about this.
And so was Jiang Xiaoyu in the game.
【Jiang Xiaoyu: Why are you so afraid of Granny Gu? Does she eat people?】
Luo Feng gave him a deep look.
【Luo Feng: Worse than eating people… According to my intelligence, Granny Gu is not an ordinary person. She is from the legendary ancient times’ evil lineage】
【Luo Feng: She is the sole survivor of the Black Cloud Village turmoil and was brought into the city by Fairy Yu. Although she seems peaceful now, no one knows what she’s plotting in secret】
【Luo Feng: The ancient times’ evil lineage is very strange… you must be extremely careful!】Half-demon general Luo Feng had a deep-seated fear of the ancient times’ evil lineage from Black Cloud Village.
【Jiang Xiaoyu: …】
Would this guy jump out of his skin if he knew Jiang Xiaoyu was also from the ancient times’ evil lineage of Black Cloud Village?
Li Muyang found it amusing but also somewhat curious.
During this period in Nanjiang City, Black Cloud Village had actually been destroyed?
No wonder Granny Gu appeared alone in Nanjiang City… Tsk… at the end of the ancient mythological era, danger lurked everywhere indeed.
Even a place like Black Cloud Village had been destroyed, with only Granny Gu surviving.
He just didn’t know what had become of Xiao Yecao.
It was a pity he didn’t know Xiao Yecao’s real name. Otherwise, he could have inquired about her.
Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to leave, carrying the head of the Shape-shifter Master, and stepped onto the chaotic streets.
Nanjiang City was once bustling and lively, celebrating the fall of Fairy Yu everywhere.
But now, it was a mess, with celebration banners and streamers thrown all over the place.
And the humans who had gathered to celebrate were now scattered and fleeing in panic.
“Demons are killing people!”
“Demons are killing people!”
Similar cries were incessant in the city, and figures ran about in panic.
Jiang Xiaoyu, carrying the head of the Shape-shifter Master, passed through the chaotic fleeing district and quickly arrived at the area where demons and human cultivators were fighting.
Several streets nearby were filled with human practitioners wielding magical instruments and steel blades, setting up barricades on the streets and engaging in close combat with the oncoming demons.
Blood and screams rose together, and the light from magical treasures and martial techniques mixed, turning the scene into a chaotic mess.
【Shape-shifter Master: It’s truly chaotic… Fairy Yu’s beautiful vision of humans and demons coexisting has finally failed…】
The head of the Shape-shifter Master sighed, looking somewhat despondent.
Li Muyang, however, didn’t share these sentiments. He had no attachment to Nanjiang City.
Seeing the battlefield in disarray, Li Muyang directly controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to sneak in through a secluded corner, bypassing the combat zone.
However, the city was more chaotic than he had imagined, with battles between demons and humans visible on almost every street and alley.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoyu sneaked into an alley, he was blocked by two demons ahead.
【Enter combat phase】
After the system prompt popped up, Li Muyang sighed.
As darkness engulfed him like a tide, when he came to his senses, he was standing in that dark alley in place of Jiang Xiaoyu.
The two demons ahead charged at him with ferocity.
Li Muyang directly took out the Soul-Cleaving Gourd and released a flying knife at the demons.
A flash of cold light in the alley and the demon in the lead was instantly beheaded, with a damage number of 【-1233】 floating above its head.
The remaining demon was stunned for a moment, but Li Muyang activated the Soul-Cleaving Gourd again, and another streak of cold light passed by.
【-1197】
The two damage numbers were different, but they were in the same range.
Although the flying knife couldn’t be used indefinitely, dealing over a thousand damage each time is too strong!
After putting away the Soul-Cleaving Gourd, Li Muyang stepped over the two demon corpses and continued forward.
But unexpectedly, a pale white mist flew out from the two demon corpses towards Li Muyang.
【Dharma-Annihilation Wheel: Mortal Grade (32.7%)】
“…Huh?!”
Seeing the experience bar of the Dharma Annihilation Wheel move slightly, Li Muyang was stunned.
These two demons weren’t killed by the Dharma Annihilation Wheel, yet there was experience to be gained?
F*ck?
Although the experience was much less compared to boss-level demon kings, a mosquito’s meat is still meat.
Realizing this, Li Muyang suddenly decided not to hide anymore.
Carrying the head of the Shape-shifter Master, he started to rampage through the chaotic streets.
Wherever he saw demons and human cultivators fighting, he would rush to help.
Either using the wheel to kill or releasing the Soul-Cleaving flying knife.
In any case, no demon could leave standing wherever he went.
【Shape-shifter Master: …No, what are you doing? Our top priority right now is to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword!】
Shape-shifter Master expressed indignation at Li Muyang’s behavior for not following the priority and instead staying here to clear out the minor monsters.
It was puzzling because this guy was previously uncooperative, but now he seemed even more concerned about the task than Li Muyang.
It was unclear what half-demon General Luo Feng had said to him.
Li Muyang, however, was not in a hurry. He controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to run a lap around the combat area.
During this, he died and reloaded five times, killing all the demons in the combat area once.
【Dharma-Annihilation Wheel: Mortal Grade (47%)】
Looking at the experience points on the magic weapon’s wheel, Li Muyang took a satisfying breath.
Although killing these small fries didn’t yield much experience, their sheer number did add up.
The plot of the game ‘Legend of Sword and Fairy’ was visibly progressing into the middle and later stages.
Who knew how many bosses there would be left to kill after obtaining the Startling Swan Immortal Sword?
It seemed better to take the opportunity to kill more minor monsters now and accumulate as much experience as possible.
After Li Muyang had killed all the demons in the combat area, he reloaded the game and returned to the moment just after leaving the half-demon general’s residence.
This time, he confidently grabbed Shape-shifter Master’s head and crossed the combat zone without engaging in further battles.
Reloading was awesome! Despite having killed demons for a good while, he still had plenty of time after reloading.
This time, Li Muyang honestly followed the main storyline, holding Shape-shifter Master’s head as he crossed the combat zone and no longer clearing out the minor soldiers.
After crossing the combat area, he carefully avoided the group of demon armies within the demon area—those were definitely not something he could handle alone.
Eventually, he arrived at a secluded place in Nanjiang City.
This was the boundary between the human and demon gathering areas, very close to the residence of the mysterious Granny Gu.
Following Shape-shifter Master’s guidance, Li Muyang entered an empty courtyard.
He walked around the ancient tree in the courtyard four times clockwise and then four times counterclockwise.
Finally, Li Muyang felt the environment around him change dramatically.
He had left the secluded courtyard and was now standing in a misty fairyland.
In this fairyland, mist swirled around, with rolling mountains in the distance and soft, lush grass underfoot.
In this picturesque secret realm, there stood two quiet graves.
On one of the grave mounds, there was a tombstone that was actually a sword with a restrained edge.
The Startling Swan Immortal Sword!
