In the courtyard filled with rising evil energy, the tall and slender-limbed Shape-shifter Master screamed as it fell to the ground.
However, instead of blood, a continuous stream of black malevolent energy spewed from the severed head that Li Muyang had chopped off.
Watching the Shape-shifter Master fall, Li Muyang let out a satisfied chuckle.
That’s how the game is.
You, the boss, can win a thousand times, but it doesn’t matter. I, the player, only need to win once!
Can’t beat it? Then I’ll try ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!
No matter how complex the boss’s attack patterns are, you get used to them after dying enough times.
Li Muyang, who had personally entered the game, although previously constantly killed by the Shape-shifter Master, had come to enjoy this method of personally projecting himself into the game to fight monsters.
He had managed to level up to the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm by stacking resources, but he hadn’t learned a single combat spell and had no clue about the techniques of cultivation and combat, making his battle experience frighteningly low.
After projecting his real self into the game and clashing with the high-difficulty boss Shape-shifter Master for two days and dying over a hundred times, he gradually got the hang of it.At this point, Li Muyang had finally gained some combat experience.
It’s hard to say about fighting others, but he was definitely confident in taking on this Shape-shifter Master.
As the Shape-shifter Master fell in the alley within his view, Li Muyang recalled the floating wheel in the air.
He could now skillfully control the wheel with his mind, making it fly around like a flying sword, agile and nimble.
As Li Muyang recalled the wheel, he was surprised to see a wisp of green smoke rising from the fallen body of the Shape-shifter Master, landing on his magical wheel.
Seeing this, Li Muyang was slightly taken aback.
“What did my wheel absorb from the Shape-shifter Master?”
It couldn’t be the soul because the Shape-shifter Master’s severed head was still there, howling and talking non-stop.
Previously, when he killed a leopard in reality, a wisp of white smoke had floated out from the leopard’s body, and now, killing a boss in the game, there was a similar wisp of smoke?
Li Muyang glanced at the magical wheel in his hand and noticed that data had appeared on it.
【Dharma-Annihilation Wheel: Mortal-grade (18%)】
“Huh?” Li Muyang’s eyes widened in surprise.
Although he knew the wheel could grow and its limit was that of an immortal weapon, he had been too busy to study the wheel’s upgrade path since he got it.
After killing the leopard, Li Muyang had a vague idea that the wheel needed to kill to grow. But he didn’t expect that killing a game boss would also contribute to its growth.
Unbelievable.
Moreover, killing a single game boss Shape-shifter Master directly yielded 18% experience——the bosses in this game provided quite high experience points. ⱤåŊổ𐌱Εş
Inside the game interface in the alley, Jiang Xiaoyu, holding the Shape-shifter Master’s head, was frozen in action.
Returning to the third-person perspective, Li Muyang saw this and chuckled.
“Killing a boss in the game absorbs essence and allows the wheel to grow…”
Instead of proceeding with the game’s storyline, he directly loaded a previous save, returning to the moment before Jiang Xiaoyu killed the Shape-shifter Master.
When Jiang Xiaoyu, accompanied by two half-demons, entered the Shape-shifter Master’s courtyard, the Shape-shifter Master which Li Muyang had already killed once smiled nonchalantly.
However, after Li Muyang defeated the Shape-shifter Master this time, no white smoke rose from its body, and the wheel’s progress remained at 18% experience.
“Does this thing only give essence on the first kill?” Li Muyang, refusing to believe it, loaded the game two more times, killing the Shape-shifter Master repeatedly. But after the three subsequent boss kills, no essence appeared.
He had to admit that the system was very well designed, giving him no chance to exploit any bugs.
“Well, that’s still good enough.”
Unable to exploit and take advantage of the system, Li Muyang clicked his tongue in resignation.
Although he couldn’t exploit it, the fact that killing game bosses gave experience to the wheel was already a pleasant surprise for Li Muyang.
The bosses in the game gave a lot of experience points.
Killing one Shape-shifter Master gave 18%, so surely there must be other bosses in this game, 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》?
If he killed all the bosses in the city, could he upgrade it to a low-grade spiritual weapon?
Hehe…
Li Muyang entered the game full of vigor.
He controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to pick up the Shape-shifter Master’s head from the ground, carrying the incessantly babbling Shape-shifter Master’s head through the streets and alleys until he found the half-demon general Luo Feng.
【Luo Feng: You’ve obtained the Shape-shifter Master’s head? Excellent!】
【Luo Feng: Hand over the head to me, and I’ll have someone interrogate it. We’ll soon find out the whereabouts of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.】
【Main Quest: Defeat the Shape-shifter Master has been completed.】
A quest prompt popped up in his field of vision.
The half-demon general Luo Feng spoke again.
【Luo Feng: While we extract information from it, could you do me a favor? You’re not busy right now, and I’m short on people.】
The classic RPG task of making the protagonist run errands appeared at this moment.
–Why should I, the future savior who will rescue the world, go find your lost cats and dogs?
But as Li Muyang looked at the 【Accept the commission?】 option that popped up in his field of vision, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Sure, sure, absolutely.”
The best would be a monster-killing quest. The more monsters killed, the faster the magic weapon upgrades.
He didn’t hesitate to choose yes.
With the situation being so chaotic… There shouldn’t be any small errand tasks in this city, right?
Sure enough, Luo Feng assigned him a monster-killing transition quest.
【Luo Feng: There is a demon in the city called the Crimson Flame King. He is a schemer among demons and has always wanted to overthrow Nanjiang City.】
【Luo Feng: You were able to defeat the Shape-shifter Master, so with your strength, defeating the Crimson Flame King shouldn’t be difficult.】
【Luo Feng: Please kill the Crimson Flame King for us. He will be going alone to the Metasequoia Courtyard tonight to meet another demon king’s wife.】
【Luo Feng: This is an excellent opportunity. The Crimson Flame King won’t bring his followers when meeting his secret lover.】
【Luo Feng: Kill him and clear the obstacles in our search for the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.】
【Main Quest: Go to the Metasequoia Courtyard and kill the Crimson Flame King.】
Seeing this system quest, Li Muyang didn’t question why killing a demon would clear the path to finding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
All he knew was that there was another BOSS to slay.
“The Crimson Flame King, huh?”
A boss of the same level as the Shape-shifter Master should also give about 18% experience, right?
A few bosses of this caliber, and he could upgrade his revolving wheel to a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Li Muyang accepted the quest and hurriedly controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to leave and set up an ambush at the Metasequoia Courtyard.
This Crimson Flame King had also appeared on the broken bridge before and was one of the demon leaders of Nanjiang City.
Who would have thought this guy would actually play with another demon king’s wife… Tsk tsk…
Such a heinous act must be condemned!
Following the system’s map instructions, Li Muyang traversed the vast Nanjiang City and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the eastern part of the city.
This area was full of demons, and most of the city’s residents were demons.
But the Metasequoia Courtyard was a quiet place on the edge of the demon settlement, with hardly any demons outside the gate.
Li Muyang hid in the darkness and waited for a while until he saw the figure of the Crimson Flame King appear at the gate.
He then followed stealthily, sneaking in from the shadows.
