Chapter 99 Which Eye of Yours Saw Me Being Bewitched by Her
```
The red dialogue box that popped up in Li Muyang's view left him stunned for a moment.
"Shura difficulty?"
After selecting the second option, did Ink Fairy really just leave like that?
Watching the huge demonic shadow slaughtering everywhere in the city, Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to fight his way back.
Then he personally experienced the true value of the "Shura difficulty."
The blood bar above the half-demon general Luo Feng, who had undergone demonization, had at least 800,000.
And Li Muyang's regular attack could only cause Luo Feng to lose a couple hundred health points, while his strongest technique, "Soul Severing Gourd," even after consecutive hits, could only reduce Luo Feng's health by a little over 10,000.
Meanwhile, the mountainous Luo Feng needed only a single sweep to easily turn Li Muyang to ashes.
After dying thrice in a row, Li Muyang obediently loaded a save and chose the first option.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: There's a demonized half-demon causing chaos in the city, please, Fairy, subdue it.]
This Shura difficulty should simply be called "impossible to complete."
There is no chance of victory at all!
After Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, the mysterious woman let out a light laughter.
[Ink Fairy: The half-demon going on a killing spree in the city? Sure, I can lend a hand.]
[Ink Fairy: But little guy, are you sure you want to use your precious favor for this? You're not from Nanjiang City, yet you care for the people and want to rescue them, such nobleness is quite endearing.]
Ink Fairy's tone was teasing, and Li Muyang rolled his eyes in response.
"If I don't clear the level, will you reward me?"
After Ink Fairy finished teasing him, she directly took Jiang Xiaoyu and flew skyward.
A mere red orb of light, yet it radiated a mischievous and lively young girl vibe.
She took Jiang Xiaoyu straight towards the city, landing right in front of the rampaging half-demon general Luo Feng.
[Entering combat phase]
The moment this prompt appeared, Li Muyang was engulfed by pitch-black tides and entered into the game.
But he saw the floating red orb beside him had transformed into an exceedingly beautiful fairy clad in red.
She looked at Li Muyang with a smiling face and said, "Little guy, let's begin."
Li Muyang was astounded as he watched her, reminded of the opening CG from the game 'Immortal Sword Legend,' that beautiful jade fairy lying on the broken bridge...
The Ink Fairy before him looked exactly like the Jade Fairy!

After exiting the game, Li Muyang stretched wearily.
"Ink Fairy must be a vile incarnation that split from Jade Fairy, right?"
Li Muyang mumbled to himself.
This Ink Fairy's form was strange, not like a living being.
It greatly resembled the vile incarnations spoken of in the Path of Immortality by cultivators.
It is said that some Path of Immortality cultivators will sever their vile incarnations to keep their minds extremely clear and pure.
With Ink Fairy's assistance, the demonized half-demon general Luo Feng wasn't so hard to tackle anymore.
The most successful attempt by Li Muyang resulted in depleting Luo Feng's health bar by half.
This half-demon general, although intimidating and possessing invincible skills, wasn't as tough to fight as the creatures at the bottom of the lake.
With the help of Ink Fairy, most of Luo Feng's attacks could be blocked or dodged.
And if a boss in a game can have its attacks blocked or dodged, then no matter how high its health bar or how strong its attacks are, defeating it is just a matter of time.
On the other hand, those small bosses with bizarre attacks that ignore defense, like the ones at the bottom of the lake, are often much more troublesome.
Li Muyang logged out of the game and hummed a tune cheerfully.
Having struggled with 'Immortal Sword Legend' for so many days, he was finally about to complete it.
After clearing the game, he'll immediately choose the secret cultivation scripture, and then commence Foundation Establishment.
Once he becomes a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Li Muyang will have the confidence to travel outside.
In the world of cultivation, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage is an extremely important milestone.
```
Qi Refining Realm cultivators are as common as blades of grass, but reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage barely qualifies one as a personage.
It was like on Earth in my previous life, where passing the university entrance exam was also a significant barrier.
Even though a bachelor's degree wasn't worth much, this barrier would still filter out a vast number of people.
Li Muyang hummed a tune as he stepped out of his house and saw Guan Xiaoshun packing up.
Upon seeing Li Muyang come out, Guan Xiaoshun said,
"Li bro, be quick, we should be departing soon."
This afternoon, Li Muyang and their group of Outer Sect Disciples were assigned a task.
Elder Yan, who had been idling in Demonic Sword City for many days, finally had enough rest and decided to deal with the ancient residual souls within the Bloodstone Mine.
Li Muyang and the group of Outer Sect Disciples, having come with Elder Yan, naturally had to accompany her now.
Everyone was very curious about the Bloodstone Mine.
Bloodstone was a mid-level material for Demon Cultivators, which was high-grade and almost inaccessible to Outer Sect Disciples.
Before heading out, this group of Outer Sect Disciples went around inquiring and discussing eagerly.
Many people debated whether there would be any consequences if they took two pieces of bloodstone from the mine on the sly,
and how much the raw bloodstone would sell for on the market…
Compared to the optimism of the Outer Sect Disciples, Li Muyang, who knew the true nature of the mine, was much more cautious.
He and Guan Xiaoshun walked at the end of the group, constantly observing the surroundings and looking for escape routes.
If things went south, he was ready to run immediately.
It was at this moment that his little adopted sister, Li Yuechan, quietly approached him.
As the siblings walked side by side, the young girl whispered,
"Brother, don't go too far later. If something happens, we'll have to look out for each other..."
Li Muyang had no objections to this.
But suddenly, a low exclamation arose from the crowd,
"Demons... they're the centipedes from Centipede Ridge!"
As Elder Yan had not arrived yet, the group of Outer Sect Disciples weren't as restrained in front of Brother Xiao Cheng.
When everyone saw the dazzling, exceptionally beautiful demons from Centipede Ridge appearing, they all had their eyes wide open.
"So pretty!"
"They're all big beauties..."
"Are all demons really this beautiful?"
The disciples were astonished and kept stealthily checking out the group of demons nearby.
And those flirty, girlish demons also gathered together, chirping and laughing nonstop, seemingly discussing the Demon Sect disciples here as well.
Guan Xiaoshun quietly tugged at Li Muyang's sleeve and said, "Li bro, stay calm. These demons consume people without spitting out bones, don't be enchanted by them..."
Li Muyang glared at him irritably and said, "Which eye of yours saw me being enchanted by them?"
Amidst the laughter, Elder Yan appeared with several Direct Disciples.
Instantly, the team fell silent; everyone closed their mouths.
Elder Yan glanced over the crowd with a cold look and said, "Let's go."
Accompanied by the City Lord of Demonic Sword City, Elder Yan led the group to the entrance of the Bloodstone Mine in Demonic Sword City.
Above the massive Bloodstone Mine, rows of demon-suppressing patterns were engraved, used to suppress the demonic energy within the mine.
Inside the Bloodstone Mine, the demonic energy was dense.
Li Muyang wasn't too concerned; he just wanted to finish up quickly and then go back to gaming, to finish the level and claim the rewards as soon as possible.
But as he followed the crowd into the thick blood fog of the Bloodstone Mine, he vaguely heard a familiar sound of sword whistling.
That deep, somber sword cry, like a demon growling, instinctively made one's scalp tingle.
And Li Muyang, who had died several times at the hands of the half-demon general in the game, was all too familiar with that sword cry.
His complexion suddenly changed.
The demonized Startling Swan Immortal Sword... was it actually slumbering inside this Bloodstone Mine?!
