Li Muyang remembered that two recommended characters appeared at the beginning of the game “Legend of Sword and Fairy. ”

    One was Jiang Xiaoyu from Black Cloud Village, with the system tags of ‘The lost gem of Black Cloud, the ancient evil lineage’.

    The other selectable character was this Luo Feng, tagged by the system as “The half-demon youth of Nanjiang.”

    Judging from the tags, he seemed quite ordinary.

    He had thought it was a traditional RPG protagonist, but it turned out to be a decisive and ruthless protagonist typical of Xianxia web novels...

    Following Luo Feng’s suggestion, Jiang Xiaoyu led the two half-demons through the streets and once again found the Shape-shifter Master.

    In the courtyard, the Shape-shifter Master sat like a schoolteacher under the porch. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu appear with two half-demons, the Shape-shifter Master laughed heartily.

    【Shape-shifter Master: Did Luo Feng send you to kill me? That’s quite an underestimation of this old man.】

    The next second, the battle began.

    The scene in Li Muyang’s view suddenly changed.

    Darkness engulfed him like a tide, and that feeling of falling into the darkness emerged once again.

    Li Muyang was slightly startled—was this taking him into an instance? Wasn’t this game in third-person?

    Why had it suddenly turned into an immersive instance?

    He had thought the game’s combat system would be like that of ‘Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record’, an RPG turn-based system, but now he had to step into the fray himself...

    As the darkness around him dispersed like a receding tide, Li Muyang found himself standing in the Shape-shifter Master’s courtyard, flanked by two half-demons.

    Before him stood the Shape-shifter Master, who, resembling a middle-aged schoolteacher, now loomed twice as tall as a normal person. And there stood Li Muyang, his face filled with surprise.

    At this moment, he was not in the appearance of Jiang Xiaoyu but in his own form.

    He could even sense the Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman in his bosom and the magical treasure wheel within his dantian—this was none other than Li Muyang himself who had entered the game!

    Li Muyang’s expression was one of astonishment, but the two half-demons beside him, as well as the Shape-shifter Master in front, all treated him as Jiang Xiaoyu even though Li Muyang’s appearance had changed significantly.

    【Shape-shifter Master: You must first offer up your lives if you wish to take this old man’s head.】

    As his voice fell, the Shape-shifter Master moved towards the trio. With one frighteningly long step, he was right in front of them.

    The Shape-shifter Master’s long, dangling hands swung towards Li Muyang.

    Then a cold wind rushed at his face.

    The realistic details of the battle made Li Muyang instinctively dodge.

    With a thought, the treasure wheel from his dantian’s sea of qi materialized in his hand.

    The wheel remained unchanged, still at the level of a common magical instrument.

    Li Muyang tried to look inward to see his sea of qi and dantian, but at that moment, he realized that a game was still a game.

    He couldn’t inspect his own sea of qi and dantian, and the sharp senses of a cultivator were also limited in the game.

    The only certainty was that this game body was much stronger than his real one.

    As the transformed Shape-shifter Master approached with a sinister smile, extending his arms towards the trio, Li Muyang no longer fled.

    This time, he chose to confront. The wheel in his hand spun fiercely, and an invisible force aimed at the Shape-shifter Master, intending to immobilize his soul and render him motionless.

    However, when the wheel’s soul-capturing power hit the Shape-shifter Master, it eerily had no effect.

    Laughing sinisterly, the Shape-shifter Master continued his assault on Li Muyang, his huge and slender body seemingly devoid of a soul.

    In a rush, Li Muyang retreated and dodged, cornered by the Shape-shifter Master. He continuously activated the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique, dodging around the courtyard with teleportation-like speed.

    Despite his large size, the Shape-shifter Master was frighteningly agile and could cast strange and sinister magic, ultimately striking Li Muyang with his slender arms.

    【Victory or defeat is a common occurrence in warfare. Hero, please try again】

    As Li Muyang watched the defeat message in his field of vision, he took a long breath and his eyes lit up with excitement.

    “I think I’ve got it...”

    Although he died this time, Li Muyang had roughly figured out the combat system of the game.

    After entering the game, his combat power would increase by many levels, basically on par with the Shape-shifter Master.

    It was just that the Shape-shifter Master was too fast and had several spells that restricted movement, making it somewhat difficult for Li Muyang to cope.

    But as long as their combat power was comparable, and he could keep up with the Shape-shifter Master’s speed and inflict damage, then one or two defeats didn’t really matter.

    In a game, it’s quite common to die dozens of times while fighting a boss!

    Li Muyang closed his eyes and re-entered the system.
