The Game with Fairies

Chapter 88

Senior Brother Cheng was startled by the terrifying scene of the giant rat ghost leaping out of the darkness.

“Is there really such a huge rat?” Senior Brother Xiao Cheng hurriedly shielded Li Muyang, and at the same time, he spat out a beam of cold light.

“Rise!”

The cold light expelled from the youth’s mouth instantly flew across the long street, reaching an extreme speed.

The flying sword, nurtured within his body, possessed astonishing power once unsheathed.

The semi-transparent giant rat was instantly penetrated by the cold light of the flying sword.

However, this powerful flying sword did no harm to the vengeful spirit of the giant rat.

The rat continued to charge forward, hissing as it spat out several orbs of cold, ghostly fire toward Li Muyang.

The white-robed youth in front of Li Muyang frowned and snorted coldly, “How dare such a little remnant soul be so presumptuous!”

Although the attack of the flying sword was ineffective, the youth remained confident.

He could tell at a glance that the power of the giant rat’s remnant soul was weak, only capable of bullying Qi Refining period outer disciples.

As several orbs of ghostly fire attacked simultaneously, the youth didn’t retreat but advanced, striking out with the palm of his hand.

Then, amidst the sound of blood splattering, the youth spat out blood and was sent flying, half of his body covered in frost.

“Pfft…”

“What a strange ghostly fire!”

Senior Brother Xiao Cheng was filled with shock and astonishment at the power of this cold ghostly fire.

He quickly shouted to the two outer disciples behind him, “You guys, quickly ru…”

He wanted to tell the two outer disciples to run away, as this vengeful spirit was more troublesome than he had imagined.

But when Senior Brother Xiao Cheng turned around, he found that the two outer disciples had already run far away.

Under the moonlight, only the retreating figures of Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun could be seen, getting further and further away on the street…

…….

Moments later, the three who had escaped danger regrouped.

Senior Brother Xiao Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and furrowed his brows.

“Did the lord of Demon Sword City deceive us? He clearly said that the remnant souls in this city were extremely weak and couldn’t attack the living.”

Not only could a remnant soul attack the living, but even he, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn’t defeat it…

Looking at Li Muyang and the others, he continued, “You two stay here and make sure no one else enters this district. I’m going to find the lord of Demon Sword City!” ??

Although the lord of Demon Sword City was the local ruler of Demon Sword City, in terms of power, he might not be able to provoke the elite among the inner disciples.

And Senior Brother Xiao Cheng was such an elite.

Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun were left to wait, watching Senior Brother Xiao Cheng’s departing figure.

Guan Xiaoshun whispered, “Brother Li, do you think Senior Brother Cheng will end up fighting with the lord of Demon Sword City when he goes to confront him?”

Guan Xiaoshun was somewhat worried.

Li Muyang, however, was not concerned with the infighting within the Demonic Sect.

He was more concerned about that strange giant rat vengeful spirit.

When the vengeful spirit leaped out from the darkness, the reason Li Muyang could react instantly and dodge in time was because the magical artifact wheel in his dantian had sensed it.

This magical artifact wheel seemed to have a strong reaction to dead things like the Crimson Flame King’s ghost.

Considering the visions that occurred when the wheel was forged… Could it be that this wheel specializes in dealing with fierce ghosts and vengeful spirits?

To be honest, if it weren’t for Guan Xiaoshun being right there, Li Muyang really wanted to take out the magical artifact wheel and have a couple of rounds with that Rat King’s vengeful spirit.

The Rat King’s remnant soul wasn’t powerful. It was just that its methods were peculiar, which caused the Foundation Establishment period Cheng Feiyang to suffer a loss.

In fact, the Rat King’s remnant soul couldn’t even catch up with Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun, who were in the Qi Refining Realm, which showed how weak it was compared to its former self.

With this in mind, Li Muyang went to sit by the side of the street and said,

“Xiaoshun, you keep watch. I’m going to take a nap. Wake me if there’s any trouble.”

The night in Demon Sword City was eerily quiet and desolate, and it was boring for the two of them to stare at each other while guarding the street corner.

Moreover, the unexpected encounter with the ghost suddenly gave Li Muyang an idea, and he decided to give it a try in the game.

Pretending to be asleep, Li Muyang closed his eyes, opened the system, and re-entered the game.

As usual, he loaded the game at the combat stage and directly ambushed the Crimson Flame King emerging from the house.

But this time, after a successful ambush, Li Muyang didn’t linger for a fight.

Instead, he fought while retreating, forcibly luring the Crimson Flame Rat King out of the Metasequoia Courtyard.

However, although the Crimson Flame King was arrogant, he refused to chase after him once he saw Li Muyang leave the Metasequoia Courtyard.

“Damn thief!”

The Crimson Flame King roared from atop the courtyard wall, its eyes blood-red: “You can’t escape! I will mobilize the entire city’s demon race to hunt you down!”

Once he left the courtyard, the rat would not give chase.

But now, facing the Crimson Flame King’s threats, Li Muyang chuckled and said, “If Lord Bifeng finds out you’ve been with his wife… I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble before I am.”

Li Muyang bluntly exposed the Crimson Flame King’s scandalous deed and used it to threaten him.

The giant rat was immediately enraged: “You little thief… When did you hear that?!”

Realizing that Li Muyang had overheard its secret rendezvous with Lord Bifeng’s wife, the Crimson Flame Rat King immediately leaped over the wall and charged towards Li Muyang while roaring.

It was the same tactic and the same trick.

The giant rat spewed out a red and black smoky fire, attempting to obscure the vision with the smoke.

Just as it had covered the area with smoke, Li Muyang had already ducked and rushed out of the smoky area.

As he ran wildly, the red and black strange smoke always surrounded him, refusing to disperse.

However, within the smoke, the attacks from the Crimson Flame Rat King became less frequent.

Sensing this, Li Muyang smirked.

Your smoke is indeed fierce, but I don’t believe you can cover the entire city with it!

Li Muyang sprinted through the smoke, occasionally defending against sudden attacks from within it.

And the Crimson Flame Rat King, which was chasing him and spewing smoke, clearly didn’t have an endless supply of it.

It couldn’t keep chasing Li Muyang and spewing smoke indefinitely.

Finally, Li Muyang burst out of the range of the smoke and arrived on a spacious long street.

And from behind him, within the smoke, came the roar of the Crimson Flame King.

“Good! Boy! You’re quite something!”

“Since you’ve heard what you shouldn’t have, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Today, I’ll go all out against you!”

Amidst the roar of the beast, the next moment, the smoke behind Li Muyang dispersed with a bang.

A terrifying figure engulfed in blazing flames appeared in Li Muyang’s field of vision.

It was a giant fire rat, but the smoky fire on its body writhed like a venomous snake, making its entire form appear even more bizarre and terrifying. And the health bar above its head had hardly decreased at all.

But there was no doubt that this terrifying demon king monster had entered its second phase.

Seeing this, Li Muyang let out a sly smile and stopped running.

He turned around and faced the monster head-on.

Assassination in broad daylight!
