Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Li Muyang Pinch Hitting
Li Muyang remembered that at the start of "The Legend of the Immortal Sword", there were two recommended characters.
One was Jiang Xiaoyu of Black Cloud Fort, whose system-generated descriptor was Ancient Malefic Vessel, Black Cloud's Lost Pearl.
The other optional character was this Luo Feng.
The system's descriptor for him was Half-Demon Body, Youth of Southern Rivers.
Judging from the descriptor, it seemed pretty ordinary.
Originally, he thought it was the protagonist of a traditional RPG, but it turned out to be a resolute and decisive protagonist of an internet novel...
Following Luo Feng's suggestion, Jiang Xiaoyu led the two half-demons through the streets, once again finding the Human Puppet Master.
In the courtyard, the Human Puppet Master was seated like a scholar beneath the porch.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyu appear with the two half-demons, the Human Puppet Master burst into laughter.
[Human Puppet Master: Did Luo Feng send you to kill me? That's quite the underestimation of me.]
The next second, the battle began.
The scene in Li Muyang's vision suddenly changed.
Darkness engulfed him like a tide, and that sensation of falling into the void surfaced once more.
Li Muyang was slightly startled—is this taking me into an instance?
This game isn't third-person?
Why has it suddenly become an immersive instance?
He had thought the game's combat system would be like "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles", an RPG turn-based system, but now it seemed he would have to enter the fray himself...
As the darkness around him receded like the tide, Li Muyang found himself standing in the courtyard of the Human Puppet Master.
Flanked by two half-demons, one to his left and one to his right.
The Human Puppet Master, who had seemed like a scholarly middle-aged man, now stood up toweringly, his height doubling that of an average person.
And Li Muyang stood in the yard, his face a picture of surprise.
At that moment, he did not resemble Jiang Xiaoyu at all, but rather he had his own appearance.
He could even sense the Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman in his bosom and the Magic Artifact Wheel within his Dantian.
—This was Li Muyang's own body entering the game!
Li Muyang's expression was one of surprise, but the two half-demons by his side, as well as the Human Puppet Master ahead, all regarded him as Jiang Xiaoyu.
Even though Li Muyang's appearance had completely changed at that point.
[Human Puppet Master: If you seek my head, first offer up your lives.]
As his voice fell, the Human Puppet Master directly advanced towards the three of them.
With one frightening step, he closed the distance to stand before them.
The Human Puppet Master's equally long arms swung towards Li Muyang.
A chilling wind rushed at his face, the realism of the combat details causing Li Muyang to instinctively dodge.
With a thought, demonic runes faintly emerged on his skin.
The next instant, Li Muyang found himself behind the Human Puppet Master, his speed maximized by the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique.
However, while Li Muyang successfully evaded, the two half-demons weren't so lucky.
They were grabbed by the massive hands of the Human Puppet Master, one in each hand, and then the towering and slender figure proceeded to stuff the half-demons into his mouth.
Amidst the crunching sounds, the two half-demons were silenced instantly, turning into a bloody paste in the Human Puppet Master's mouth.
At this point, Li Muyang was dumbfounded.
He was still processing the shock of his actual body entering the game.
His previous game experiences involved his consciousness entering the game, controlling a game character, but never like this where his own body was directly involved!
But the Human Puppet Master, who had just killed two half-demons, didn't give Li Muyang any time to think.
After crunching up the corpses of the half-demons in his mouth, he turned around with a sinister smile, his huge arm heavily smashing down towards Li Muyang.
```
Li Muyang couldn't dodge in time and was instantly squashed into pulp.
[Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, hero please start over]
A blood-red failure prompt popped up in his field of view, and Li Muyang blinked before he realized that he was still standing on the small platform at the end of the Flying Boat, with the cold wind howling beside him.
Although his character in the game had been squashed into pulp, he was unscathed in reality.
Just that the real feeling of being crushed into pulp was more intense than the previous few times he played the game.
"...Does this round of game combat require me to take the field in person?"
Li Muyang scratched his head, a bit puzzled.
Jiang Xiaoyu was a complete novice, and relying on Jiang Xiaoyu during the combat phase was indeed impractical, so it made some sense for the system to pull him into the game.
But Li Muyang in reality was only at the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and although he was stronger than Jiang Xiaoyu, it was a limited advantage.
For the equally novice Li Muyang to enter the game...
Li Muyang recalled that his combat power and speed seemed to have increased a lot in the game.
His Remnant Cloud Movement Technique, though formidable, couldn't achieve the Instantaneous Movement-like speed that he had just experienced in the game.
Um…
Li Muyang's thoughts stirred, and he entered the game once again.
Jiang Xiaoyu, along with two Half-Demons, came to the courtyard of the Human Puppet Master, and as the Puppet Master rose with a long laugh, they entered the combat phase.
And as the game entered the combat phase, Li Muyang was once again engulfed in darkness.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the courtyard of the Human Puppet Master, with two Half-Demons by his side and the sinister, monster-like Human Puppet Master in front of him.
But this time, Li Muyang was mentally prepared; with a thought, the wheel within his Qi Sea Dantian materialized in his hands out of thin air.
There was no change in the wheel; it was still of the quality level of a common Magic Artifact.
Li Muyang tried introspection to check his Qi Sea Dantian.
But at that moment he discovered that a game was still a game.
He couldn't introspect his own Qi Sea Dantian, and the acute five senses of a Cultivator were also restricted in the game.
The only certainty was that this game body was much stronger than his real one.
Seeing the transformed Human Puppet Master snarling and stepping forward, extending his arms toward the three of them, Li Muyang no longer fled.
This time he chose to confront.
The wheel in his hands spun violently, and an invisible force aimed at the Human Puppet Master in front, intending to immobilize the Puppet Master's soul so he couldn't move.
However, when the soul-snatching power of the wheel fell on the Human Puppet Master, it bizarrely had no effect.
The Human Puppet Master charged at Li Muyang with a grim smile, and his large, slender body seemed to be without a soul.
Li Muyang hastily retreated to dodge, but was quickly cornered by the Human Puppet Master.
He kept activating the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique, dodging around the courtyard as if by Instantaneous Movement.
However, the massive Human Puppet Master was frighteningly agile and would cast strange and evil magic, eventually hitting Li Muyang with his long arms.
[Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, hero please start over]
Looking at the failure prompt in his field of view, Li Muyang let out a long breath, his eyes instead brightening with excitement.
"I think I understand now…"
Although he had died this time, Li Muyang had roughly grasped the mode of combat in this game.
After entering the game, his combat power would be greatly enhanced, roughly on par with the Human Puppet Master.
It's just that the Human Puppet Master was so fast and had several magic spells that could restrict movement, making it somewhat difficult for Li Muyang to defend.
But as long as their power levels were similar, and he could keep up with the speed of the Human Puppet Master and inflict damage, then a death or two was not at all important.
Dying dozens of times while chopping a BOSS in a game is par for the course!
Li Muyang closed his eyes and entered the system once more.
The Game with the Fairies, start!
