The Game with Fairies-Chapter 274 - The Resilient Tortoise

Chapter 274: The Resilient Tortoise

After being released from the black prison, Li Muyang did not return to his former position.

Once a Banner Master, Li Muyang once again became an idle person without rank in the Blood Lotus Sect.

This was somewhat strange.

According to Li Muyang’s guess, Shen Yan had pulled him out of the big prison probably to utilize the powerful combat strength of his Martial God Tyrant Body to deal with those troublemakers.

However, Shen Yan only assigned him a leisurely task—protecting the poisoned and comatose Ruan Mei.

Although Ruan Mei was important and had taken care of Shen Yan after her father’s death and was a senior who had watched Shen Yan grow up, assigning Li Muyang, with his formidable combat power, to protect Ruan Mei felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The people assigned to protect Ruan Mei, besides Li Muyang, were the young disciples he had promoted in the Hall of Enforcement.

After Li Muyang was arrested and imprisoned, his law enforcement disciples were also jailed and subjected to investigation.

After Shen Yan pulled Bu Hongsheng and Liu Fu out, they were continuously tasked with protecting Ruan Mei.

Now that they saw Li Muyang released from prison, everyone was extremely excited.

Only Liu Fu and Bu Hongsheng, after experiencing this incident, no longer had their former ambition and seemed somewhat downcast.

It was clear that their enthusiasm had been greatly damaged by their loyalty to the Blood Lotus Sect, which had resulted in imprisonment and demotion.

However, Li Muyang was indifferent to this.

After his release, he was arranged to live next to Ruan Mei.

In the room next door, Ruan Mei was in a comatose and poisoned state, like a vegetative person.

Two physicians skilled in the art of poison treated her daily, detoxifying her three times a day in a slow and meticulous manner to save this attacked Helmsman.

Li Muyang and the others stood guard inside and outside the courtyard to ensure Ruan Mei’s safety.

Thus, Li Muyang’s main daily task was to sit in a wicker chair at the door of Ruan Mei’s room to prevent the entry of unrelated people.

But every time he closed his eyes, Li Muyang would play games.

The situation in the Blood Lotus Sect had not spiraled out of control, even though people from both sides had died.

Both factions were trying to restrain themselves.

According to what Li Muyang learned after his release, not only Ruan Mei and Shen Yan had been attacked, but several Banner Masters on the opposing side had also died.

Now, the only thing left before an all-out conflict was for the Sect Leader and several Helmsmen to personally step in.

But this final step had yet to be taken by anyone.

The root cause of all this was the existence of the Blood Lotus Sect’s blood oath.

The blood oath allowed these disciples to be resurrected after death and also prevented them from defecting, making it impossible for them to easily leave with their forces even in a life-and-death struggle.

Both sides were at a stalemate, waiting for the other to give in.

After understanding the situation, Li Muyang became even more focused on his game.

With the situation so tense, these people would definitely fight once Li Muyang completed the game and caused the Blood Lotus Sect’s blood oath and the miracle of resurrection to fail.

Even if they didn’t fight, the Helmsmen and Incense Masters who didn’t want to endure Fang Yingtian’s humiliation would leave with their forces.

At that time, the Blood Lotus Sect’s ’empire’ would crumble, and the Demon Refining Sect would be perfectly positioned to defeat them one by one.

In the misty ghost city, the giant Emerald Blade Mantis carried Shen Miao towards the final Black Tortoise flag.

The huge Black Tortoise flag stood in the north of the Ghost City, and as soon as Li Muyang entered the range of the Black Tortoise flag, he immediately entered a secret realm.

On the vast ocean, a mountainous Black Tortoise divine beast floated on the sea like an island.

Its colossal body stirred the entire ocean into a frenzy, with endless water and storm surges slapping towards the Emerald Blade Mantis.

Li Muyang controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis to swing its blade arms, continuously shattering the water currents flying towards him.

The girl Shen Miao, standing on top of the Emerald Blade Mantis, shouted as she threw dark red blood arrows.

Each blood arrow that hit the giant Black Tortoise divine beast took a small chunk off its health bar.

However, this mountainous Black Tortoise divine beast not only had a huge body, but its health bar was also frighteningly long.

The health bars of the three divine beasts they had previously defeated combined were not as thick as this Black Tortoise’s.

As a result, although the Black Tortoise’s attacks were not fierce, its huge health bar posed a significant challenge.

Li Muyang, controlling the Emerald Blade Mantis, carried Shen Miao through the stormy currents, and even after hitting the Black Tortoise dozens of times, they could only reduce its health by five or six percent.

If the Black Tortoise’s attack hit them once, the 【Water】 bar in their field of vision would increase by ten percent.

If hit by the Black Tortoise ten times, once their bodies were filled with water vapor, they would be forcibly expelled from the secret realm and would have to wait for the water vapor to dissipate before they could continue the challenge.

Continuous failures made Shen Miao somewhat discouraged.

“This big tortoise is too tough!” the girl said in utter frustration.

“Brother-in-law, this guy is too hard, can we really defeat it?”

The colossal health bar of the Black Tortoise divine beast made Shen Miao despair.

Li Muyang, however, was completely calm: “After failing a few times, you’ll get used to its attack frequency.”

He had taken down many high-health bosses in online games in his previous life.

It was all about reaction and stamina.

This little girl was just too impatient and couldn’t keep her composure.

In Li Muyang’s view, although the Black Tortoise had a lot of health, it was actually easier to handle.

Once he got used to the Black Tortoise’s attack pattern and developed muscle memory, defeating the Black Tortoise would be a matter of course.

He sat outside Ruan Mei’s room every day, playing his game peacefully, completely unconcerned about the turmoil outside.

Although Liu Fu and Bu Hongsheng would often tell him about the current situation, such as another branch dying or someone causing a ruckus in front of the Sect Leader, Li Muyang showed little interest in these gossip news and was indifferent.

He even suggested that the two young men pay less attention to external affairs and avoid getting involved.

Li Muyang had already vaguely realized that the power struggle within the Blood Lotus Sect was more complicated than he had imagined.

The Sect Leader Fang Yingtian seemed to want to eliminate more than just the thorns who did not submit to him...

In such a chaotic situation, it’s best for small fry without any backing like Liu Fu and Bu Hongsheng to keep a low profile.

......

As days passed, Li Muyang stayed comfortably in the courtyard without venturing out, showing no concern for the outside world.

He spent his days avidly playing video games, teaming up with Shen Miao to conquer the final divine beast, Black Tortoise, continuously familiarizing themselves with its attack patterns.

Finally, through trial and error, they took a crucial step forward—they managed to deplete half of Black Tortoise’s health bar, entering the second phase!

This was definitely a milestone.

When the divine beast Black Tortoise began to roar and transform, swelling up in the sea, Shen Miao, who had been tensely battling for over an hour, couldn’t help but jump up in joy.

“We did it! We finally made it!”

Although it was just the beginning of the second phase, such progress was still heartening.
