The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 250 The Man with Grievous Sins

"Bai Muchen actually died under the Glazed Fairy Sword?"

In the private room of the tavern, Li Muyang opened his eyes and realized this fact.

In that moment, he was slightly stunned.

In the fourth stage of "Deadly Wild Grass," the prolonged daily quests were slightly monotonous.

Moreover, many daily plots were quickly skipped, making it impossible to experience the details within. Continue reading at empire

But there were still some characters, and some events, that remained vivid in Li Muyang's memory in the game.

For instance, the extravagantly luxurious Dragon King's birthday feast, the woodsman in the mountains who furiously slew a god, and the free-spirited swordsman Bai Muchen who roamed the world with his sword…

This lone swordsman, Bai Muchen, roamed the world with his sword, fond of good wine, unrestrained, and feckless, seeking only the Sword Dao in his life.

He had traveled together with Li Muyang, Little Wild Grass, for half a year in the game.

Once under the moonlight, he had drunk with Li Muyang, laughed, and said his life's wish was to die under the blade of a peerless Immortal Sword, so his lifelong pursuit of swordsmanship would not be in vain.

Finally, beneath a solitary pine tree, he and Li Muyang, Little Wild Grass, bid farewell, saying he was going to the North Sea to search for the legendary giant Peng bird.

The two then parted ways and never met again.

Little Wild Grass assessed this man.

"Although he is a mortal and lacks cultivation, he was able to enter the Dao through the sword, transcending the mundane. Perhaps in the future he really could become a unique Sword Immortal in this world…"

Yet unexpectedly, this fellow didn't become a Sword Immortal.

Instead, he achieved his lifelong wish, dying under the blade of an Immortal Sword…

Recalling the bits and pieces from the game, Li Muyang sighed without a word, for a time not knowing whether to feel sad for this man or relieved for him.

Two minutes later, Li Muyang composed his emotions and entered the game once more.

He came to Little Wild Grass.

The small boat floated downstream through the gorge, and Li Muyang said, "Originally, that white-robed swordsman, Bai Muchen, you mentioned his sword had a fatal weakness."

"What was that weakness again?"

Li Muyang asked.

Little Wild Grass blinked in surprise, "Big brother, why are you suddenly caring about such strange things today…"

Li Muyang sighed and said, "Just tell me, what is the weakness of that white-robed swordsman."

Pressured for time, Li Muyang didn't plan to waste time reloading and getting familiar with the white-robed swordsman's swordplay again.

He directly came to ask Little Wild Grass for the answer.

Since Little Wild Grass happened to know the weakness of the white-robed swordsman…

Aboard the small boat, the woman propping her cheek in her hand smiled at Li Muyang, shaking her head.

"Big brother, you are quite odd today…"

As the woman spoke, she casually took down the hairpin from her head, lightly gesturing in front of Li Muyang.

"Bai Muchen's swordplay, naturally flawless, not constrained by any sword technique or form, this is his strongest point, but also his greatest weakness."

"He's not yet perfected his Dao, and though his swordplay seems naturally flawless, there are still traces to be found. If he encounters an opponent of higher realm, his swordplay could be instantly deciphered."

"If I were to confront him, I could even accurately predict every move he would make with his sword…"

Little Wild Grass smiled, holding two wooden hairpins, gesturing in front of Li Muyang.

"If you were to strike him like this, he would definitely swing his sword like that to defend, and in his defense, his blade would veer left, using offense as defense…"

…

On a hill floating with Sword Spirits, Li Muyang reloaded the game once again.

A broken sword flew up, and a carefree and unruly shadow materialized.

However, this time Li Muyang, with relaxed and calm footsteps.

He stepped forward boldly, swinging his sword in a direct thrust.

Three minutes later, the shadow was pierced through the chest by Li Muyang, dissipating within the sword domain.

On the hill strewn with fragments of divine weapons, the Sword Spirit beside murmured with a frown.

"What kind of move is this?"

They were merely some basic techniques, with nothing particularly special or exquisite about them.

Yet the moment Li Muyang drew his sword, the swordsman's shadow in front seemed as if struck by a spell, each move blocked, every sword stroke dissolving into nothingness.

In the end, he effortlessly pierced the chest of the powerless shadow with his sword.

The Sword Spirit was puzzled, "The swordsmanship you used seemed specifically designed to counter this person... but you clearly have never encountered this person's illusion before."

To be able to execute swordsmanship that precisely counters someone you have never met...

Li Muyang laughed, "Didn't you say I possess the ability to see the future? Perhaps I really do have such a skill?"

The Sword Spirit fell silent for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then proceed directly to the final trial. There's no need to waste any more time."

As the Sword Spirit finished speaking, a figure appeared from the depths of the sword domain.

His handsome face, with its sharply defined features, instinctively inspired a sense of fondness.

Holding no weapon or magical artifact, the mere appearance of this figure startled Li Muyang.

This... isn't this me?

Staring in astonishment at the figure before him that looked exactly like him, Li Muyang said, "The final trial is myself? Isn't this the inner world of the Glass Immortal Maiden?"

Why would the last boss of the Glass Immortal Maiden's inner world be him?

Li Muyang looked bewildered.

And the Sword Spirit, with a cold expression, said, "Correct, this is Chu Qingxue's mental realm, and indeed, it is you who has trapped her soul."

"The Immortal Law she cultivates was supposed to allow her to transcend affection and desires, but her heart opened because of you, leading her to be troubled by the Heart Demon, and forcibly activating the power of the Immortal Sword caused her spirit to sink into dismay completely trapping her."

"If you wish to awaken her spirit now, you must personally defeat this Heart Demon illusion."

The Sword Spirit began to explain.

Looking at the handsome, cool guy in front of him who was identical to himself, Li Muyang was somewhat speechless, "Heart Demon... transcending affection..."

The Glass Immortal Maiden Chu Qingxue was a high and indifferent character devoid of desire, and he knew it from the first time they met.

He hadn't expected that this was a result of her cultivation technique.

As for the notion that Chu Qingxue liked him and had opened her heart because of him... Frankly, Li Muyang really had not noticed it.

The maiden had always been indifferent to him, and her attitude could only be described as friendly.

And quietly, just because of him, a Heart Demon had arisen?

Tsk... A man with grave sins indeed.

Li Muyang shook his head and said, "I just need to defeat this Heart Demon illusion, right?"

Li Muyang raised his sword, readying the Startling Swan Sword Technique.

However, a strange occurrence unfolded; the Heart Demon illusion on the hilltop also executed the Startling Swan Sword Technique, and a broken sword on the hill flew up, mirroring Li Muyang's moves exactly.

A question mark appeared over Li Muyang's head.

He turned to the Sword Spirit, "This Heart Demon knows my Sword Control Secret Art?"

This is supposed to be Chu Qingxue's inner realm, not his own Heart Demon; how could it possibly know his Startling Swan Sword Technique?

Question marks filled Li Muyang's mind.

The Sword Spirit, expressionless, replied, "At this moment, its form is entirely a projection of your existence. What you know, it knows; what you don't know, it doesn't either."

"Or perhaps, it's precisely because of your arrival that the capabilities of this Heart Demon have been perfected, making it appear more vivid and real, hence presenting the opportunity to draw it out and slay it."

"Before your arrival, this Heart Demon was formless and insubstantial, pale and void, and external forces had difficulty driving it away."

"Now, it has become fleshed out and embodied due to your presence. But as a result, it has also become your Heart Demon."

"You are qualified to slay it, but it will be exceedingly difficult."

The Sword Spirit explained the situation coldly, "This is Chu Qingxue's final lifeline. Perhaps your supposed foresight brought you here at this crucial moment to save the day."

"In any case, if you can defeat the Heart Demon, she can live."

"If not, she will be utterly lost in the mental realm, until drained of all mana by the Immortal Sword, and thus perish."
