Chapter 592 - 592: You Can't Win Forever
“Yes, the corpse of the Ancient Great Demon is your special gift!”
The words of the Ancient Spirit made Li Muyang’s heart suddenly shiver.
The corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor actually had a plot trigger?
No wonder the head of the Temple Seal Emperor had entered the system’s props bag.
But what kind of plot would the corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor trigger?
Faced with the mockery of the Ancient Spirit, Li Muyang’s demeanor remained cold, as he relentlessly attacked without responding.
And seeing Li Muyang’s indifference, the Ancient Spirit also stopped speaking.
It stood there elegantly and indifferently, clearly being continuously hit by Li Muyang’s Sword Qi, its health bar steadily decreasing, yet the Ancient Spirit was not at all in a panic.
Soon, two-thirds of the Ancient Spirit’s health bar was gone.
But at that moment, Nie Yubing and the Glass Fairy could no longer resist the siege of the thirteen demon spirits + the corpse of the nine-tailed fox.
With the retreat of the two girls, big and small, Li Muyang suddenly found himself surrounded by enemies, and the balance of the battlefield tipped in an instant.
[Nie Yubing has died, game over]
The system notification that popped up in his field of vision made Li Muyang take a deep breath.
“Again!”
He was not discouraged at all, and he read file again to re-enter the game challenge.
After repeatedly reading files and challenging, failing seven times in a row, Li Muyang finally knocked down the headless corpse possessed by the Ancient Spirit, the Temple Seal Emperor.
As the health bar of the Ancient Spirit vanished, the headless corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor fell to the ground somewhat painfully.
The aura of the Ancient Spirit also became weak at this moment and started to dissipate.
Above the altar, the voice of the Ancient Spirit could be heard.
“…Ascendant, you have won again.”
The defeated Ancient Spirit spoke with an air of utter indifference.
Obviously, it did not care about this loss.
It said to Li Muyang, “But you cannot always win.”
“When you lose, that one time, you will lose everything.”
As the voice faded, the aura of the Ancient Spirit dissipated.
The headless corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor completely lost its life force, lying stiff and motionless on the ground.
Li Muyang directly released his power skill at the headless corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor.
There was something mysterious about this corpse; he wanted to utterly destroy it.
However, as a torrent of endless Sword Qi flooded over the headless corpse of the Temple Seal Emperor, obliterating its body rapidly, a swarm of tiny black bugs suddenly flew out of the corpse.
The swarm of black bugs started off the size of a fist, but as they flew into the sky, they swelled up with the wind.
In just an instant, their numbers had inflated to tens of thousands.
Buzzing as they called out, they continued to multiply crazily in the wind.
Before Li Muyang could even react, these screeching bugs suddenly exploded and swarmed towards everyone present.
Apart from Li Muyang and his two companions, these black bugs even attacked the thirteen demon spirits, as well as the corpse of the nine-tailed fox!
Li Muyang continued to swing his Sword Qi, trying to kill the black bugs.
But as his stark and cold Sword Qi slashed through, the bugs that were hit became more excited and frenzied.
They flew towards him, surrounding the swathes of Sword Qi he had released, frantically nibbling and devouring the Sword Qi.
The fearsomely sharp Sword Qi seemed like a tonic to them.
As Li Muyang’s Sword Qi struck through, not only did the number of bugs not decrease, but it doubled.
The sky was covered with bugs, their screeching engulfed the battlefield occupied by both good and evil.
Then, they beat their wings and flew towards the emperor on the altar, towards the cages holding the mortals on the high platform, as well as the demon spirits scattered across the platform…
[Nie Yubing has died, game over]
In his field of vision, a system prompt popped up again.
Li Muyang had a bit of a headache, “Inside Elder Temple’s body, there’s still this kind of strange thing hidden?”
What the heck was that bug, capable of even devouring Sword Qi?
And it kept growing in number, swelling by hundreds of times in a short period.
Li Muyang’s top forces from the Tianyuan Continent actually had no way to deal with them.
As a disciple of the evil lineage and a little girl who had already awakened her power, Nie Yubing, perished so quickly in the swarm of bugs…
Li Muyang reloaded a save and re-entered the game.
This time, he defeated the Ancient Spirits even more skillfully and easily.
In the graceful and indifferent exit lines of the Ancient Spirits, Li Muyang didn’t attack Elder Temple’s body but instead used Sword Qi to form five columns of light that descended from the sky, sealing off the limbs and the heart of Elder Temple’s headless corpse.
This time, Elder Temple’s body finally did not undergo any transformation.
Li Muyang freed up his hands to join the battlefield, starting to help the little girl Nie Yubing and the Lustrous Fairy in fighting against the thirteen demon spirits.
Li Muyang’s entrance greatly relieved their pressure.
But the combat power of those thirteen demon spirits was extremely strong.
Each demon spirit possessed a unique Divine Skill.
Some could slip into darkness, attacking from the shadows of the three…
Some could turn any part of their body indestructible, immune to any damage from attacks…
Others could split into three or four figures, all of which could briefly become intangible, dodging any attack…
This group of demon spirits, each with different Divine Skills, was incredibly difficult to deal with.
Even with Li Muyang joining them, the three were still forced to constantly retreat.
Finally…
[Nie Yubing has died, game over]
After persisting for twenty minutes, Li Muyang became careless for a moment and immediately had his soul swapped by a demon spirit; he unexpectedly left the Ancient Sword Immortal’s body and entered the body of that demon spirit.
And when the demon spirit entered the Ancient Sword Immortal’s body, it immediately launched a surprise attack on Nie Yubing and the Lustrous Fairy beside it.
Caught completely off guard, the two perished instantly.
Above the head of the Green-Mantled Mantis, Li Muyang furrowed his brow and shook his head.
“What a hassle…”
These demon spirits had strange Divine Skills, and their power was extreme, with health bars so thick they induced despair.
Such thirteen demon spirits gathered together, plus one nine-tailed fox corpse… the difficulty level was still high.
No wonder the Emperor was so confident in handing over the three of them to his subordinates’ minor monsters.
Li Muyang rubbed his temples; he didn’t even have time to rest, entering the game again.
Now, he had to race against time with the system.
No matter how hard it was, he had to clear the level as quickly as possible.
But just as Li Muyang had entered the game for not too long, he heard the voice of the madwoman again.
He immediately opened his eyes to see a vague silhouette of the madwoman in the mist ahead.
In the dim and bleak Peaceful Realms, this woman hidden in the mist truly seemed as malevolent as a female ghost.
Li Muyang looked at her impatiently and said, “What are you doing here again? Come to see if I’m dead yet?”
He was fed up with this madwoman and didn’t want to deal with her now.
But with her staring on the sidelines, Li Muyang couldn’t dare immerse himself completely in the game system.
He could only think of a way to drive her away.
However, this time, the madwoman did not go crazy as usual.
She hid in the mist, just laughing coldly and said,
“…I’ve come to remind you, someone who you call a friend is nearby on your path.”
