The Game with Fairies

Chapter 7

Li Muyang’s time-stop ability lasted only seven seconds, but he had the chance to reload his save.

So, after seeing the monster’s head, Li Muyang didn’t rush to act.

Instead, he leaped to the side of the monster’s head to gather information about the creature.

In the obstacle course game, information is more important than simply slaying monsters.

From the side, he finally saw the full form of the creature.

—It really seemed to have emerged from thin air.

To be precise, it came out of the mist that enveloped Loushan City. It had only a head as if the rest of its body was still hidden in the fog.

Behind this eerie mist seemed to be a connection to a strange space. Now, the monster’s head was poking out, attacking the carriage carrying Li Muyang and others.

After seeing the full form of the monster, Li Muyang drew his sword from its sheath once again and struck at the creature.

This time, he managed to break through its defenses, but that was all. He only left a wound a few inches deep.

For a monster of this size, such a wound was equivalent to a minor scratch.

The imperial saber that came with his game character had a rather indescribable killing power.

Li Muyang tried to return to the carriage to fetch Fairy Liuli’s immortal sword, but as soon as he got back to the carriage, the time stop ended.

A huge tremor swept through the carriage, and everything went dark before Li Muyang’s eyes.

“…The output of this game character is a bit weak.”

Li Muyang sat somewhat dejectedly on the hard straw roof, lamenting the weakness of his game character.

He closed his eyes once more, restarting the tutorial for beginners.

Load the save!

When Li Muyang opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the moving carriage, with Fairy Liuli in front of him conversing with the guide.

Li Muyang stood up and spoke directly: “Fairy, may I borrow your immortal sword? Something seems off.”

He spoke concisely while unapologetically reaching out his hand towards Fairy Liuli to ask for the sword.

Such a sudden and rude gesture shocked the guide, who was speaking at the time.

Clearly, he did not understand why Li Muyang, who had been silent all the way like a follower, would suddenly make such an outrageous request.

That was the spirit sword of a Mystic Sword Sect cultivator, intertwined with her life—how could it be casually lent to you?

But before the guide could speak, Fairy Liuli had already stood up solemnly.

“Is there danger again?”

The fairy hesitated for a moment but ultimately made a decisive gesture with her hands, and the immortal sword on her back chimed, instantly flying into Li Muyang’s hands.

“Please, Lord Wuming…”

Before Fairy Liuli could finish speaking, a massive tremor suddenly struck the carriage.

In that instant, Li Muyang activated time stop.

This time, with the immortal sword in hand, he pushed open the carriage door and charged out.

In the pale black and white world, the sharp immortal sword swung effortlessly in his hand.

Li Muyang easily split the huge monster’s head in two.

The monster’s head, which had been difficult to cut through with the imperial saber, was as fragile as tofu under the edge of the immortal sword and was easily severed.

Li Muyang watched as the monster’s head was split in two, then he lifted the time stop.

Immediately, a cloud of blood mist exploded in front of the carriage.

The monster’s split head vanished into the blood mist, and the carriage on the street passed through it without any hindrance.

The guide on the carriage’s eyes widened in shock.

“Just now… what…”

He stared dumbfounded at Fairy Liuli, then incredulously at Li Muyang by the carriage door, as if questioning his own existence.

The sudden appearance and disappearance of the blood mist, along with a terrifying monster… the scene was like something out of a nightmare.

Fairy Liuli looked sternly at the dissipating cloud of blood mist behind her and said, “This seems to be a Blood Demon Beast… a legendary creature that dwells in the Nine Nether Hell, roaming within the River of Blood.”

“It descended from the void, attempting to assassinate us. Fortunately, Lord Wuming resolved the situation in time.”

After explaining the situation, Fairy Liuli turned her gaze to Li Muyang, her eyes flickering with astonishment.

“Lord Wuming, how did you detect the imminent appearance of the Blood Demon Beast?”

The moment the Blood Demon Beast appeared, Li Muyang effortlessly slay it… His terrifying agility and insight once again shocked Fairy Liuli.

Just as Li Muyang was about to answer, a tremendous force suddenly struck him from behind the moment he opened his mouth.

He watched helplessly as a pitch-black claw pierced through his chest…

“F*ck! Will this kind of random death never end?”

Li Muyang, who had just opened his eyes in the dark cottage, took a deep breath and immediately closed his eyes.

Reload!

After decapitating the monster, Li Muyang swiftly turned around and struck with his sword the moment Fairy Liuli began to speak.

The sharp edge of the immortal sword fell, slicing a mantis-like creature that had just appeared in the air cleanly in two.

The creature had barely materialized, its dark, sharp claws not yet poised to strike when it was already cleaved apart by Li Muyang.

The guide was dumbfounded: “Do you have eyes in the back of your head?”

Li Muyang’s counterattack was so sudden it exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Even until the moment he struck, there was nothing behind him. But as the sword fell, a Blood Demon Beast conveniently appeared right where the blade landed.

The scene looked as if the monster had deliberately thrown itself onto his sword’s edge, eerily unsettling.

Facing the guide’s bewildered gaze, Li Muyang said indifferently, “Nothing special, it’s just because I’m used to it.”

I’ve died to these monsters’ ambushes many times. I can predict their every move with my eyes closed!

As Li Muyang spoke, he casually threw out another sword strike.

The sharp immortal sword whizzed past the guide’s ear, slaying another Blood Demon Beast that had just appeared behind him.

These bizarre Blood Demon Beasts that popped out of thin air would also vanish abruptly after death, leaving no corpses behind.

In the short span of a few sentences, several strange Blood Demon Beasts had appeared around the carriage.

Their unpredictable appearances furrowed Fairy Liuli’s brows.

“It seems that the Blood Demon Sect practitioners in this city do not wish for us to meet General Wu.”

Fairy Liuli continued, looking at Li Muyang: “This method of summoning the Nine Nether Blood Beast is a forbidden art that requires a great sacrifice within the Blood Demon Sect.”

“They definitely wouldn’t summon Blood Demon Beasts If there were other methods.”

“Now that the Blood Demon Sect practitioners only summon Blood Demon Beasts to attack and refuse to show themselves, it seems that their own strength is not strong, or it may be inconvenient for them to act.”

At this point, Fairy Liuli’s eyes turned slightly cold: “The seven demonic cultivators who ambushed me outside the city are probably the only forces that the mastermind behind this can muster.”

“Now that it has lost its minions, it can only resort to the forbidden art of summoning Blood Demon Beasts, still using secret techniques to obstruct us… Could it be that the mastermind is hiding close to General Wu? Does it not want us to meet General Wu?”

From the changes in the situation, Fairy Liuli keenly deduced key information.
