I speedrunned the Fairy Strategy Game

The next day.

After a night's rest, everyone in the Enforcement Hall was full of energy.

Shouyin stretched comfortably and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's definitely more comfortable to stay in an inn."

Li Muyu joked.

"You've changed your tune so quickly, camper."

Shouyin, having received a bribe, unusually refrained from arguing back, merely letting out a soft hum in response.

Ji Yudie didn't get a good night's rest last night, and her pretty face looked a little tired.

The inn was basic and poorly soundproofed.

Lying in bed, I could even clearly hear the sounds of a man and woman making love in the next room, which continued until dawn.

Listening to that alluring, soft voice, Ji Yudie couldn't calm her mind even while meditating.

She couldn't help but recall her ambiguous interactions with Li Muyu, and felt that she had changed a lot since getting to know him, becoming more and more emotional.

In the past, I would never have acted impulsively and done something so shameful.

It is near Xiaguang Mountain.

Ma Zouri took the initiative to approach Li Muyu and chatted with him for a few minutes.

The gist of it is that their Enforcement Hall disciples have sufficient combat strength and excellent teamwork, and they don't want Li Muyu to interfere, so they can just lie low and relax.

Li Muyu had no objection to this.

"Do less, get more; reap without sowing" has always been his guiding principle.

"The Ape Demon is probably only at the seventh realm of cultivation, nothing to worry about."

"But don't blame me for not warning you, don't go deep into the mountains and forests, there lives a fifth-realm bull demon there, which you can't handle."

Shouyin didn't take it seriously and muttered with a pout.

"You think you can just say you have it? Do you own this mountain?"

Li Muyu has said this much; whether they believe it or not is up to them to decide.

As everyone ventured deeper into the mountains, Li Muyu leisurely lay on a rock, basking in the sun.

Ji Yudie spoke up.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Li Muyu said.

"Didn't you hear? They wouldn't let me get involved?"

"If Fairy Ji wishes to help slay the demon and display her skills, I have no objection."

Seeing Li Muyu's indifferent attitude, Ji Yudie couldn't help but sneer, her impression of him plummeting to the lowest point.

There were rumors in the sect back then that Li Muyu, as a disciple of the Sword Immortal, was chivalrous and hated evil.

Looking back now, it seems his only skill was bullying women.

Li Muyu lay on the rock, when suddenly an idea struck him.

"Does Xu Zhengyang know you've come out this time?"

Upon hearing Li Muyu mention Xu Zhengyang, Ji Yudie's expression grew even more gloomy, as if she did not want to discuss the matter.

"That makes sense. Given Xu Zhengyang's magnanimity, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly all night if he knew about this."

Before Li Muyu could finish speaking, Ji Yudie suddenly became furious, her pretty face as cold as frost, like a snow plum blossom on a cold branch, cold and piercing.

"Li Muyu!"

Do you really think I'm some kind of clay idol, without any temper?

Seeing that Ji Yudie was angry, Li Muyu simply smiled and did not provoke her further.

To win over a woman with such a strong sense of self-respect, you need to strike a balance; sometimes being too tense can backfire.

Nine shallow and one deep is the optimal ratio.

Xiaguang Mountain.

The members of the Enforcement Hall worked together seamlessly, with a clear division of labor.

Ma Zouri led a few people to set up a magic array in advance, and sent a skilled disciple to lure the ape demon.

Before long.

A commotion could be heard coming from the woods in the distance.

Ma Zouri and his men lay in ambush in the bushes, speaking in hushed tones.

"Get ready, the Ape Demon is coming."

In the distance, a disciple in white robes swept through the forest, pursued relentlessly by a demonic ape that leaped among the tree trunks. The ape-like creature had a blue face, fangs, and drool dripped from its mouth.

A human and an ape are about to enter the magic array.

Ma Zouri raised his hand, indicating that everyone should attack together once the ape demon entered the array's core.

One of the disciples was a little nervous and misunderstood his meaning. When he saw the ape demon step into the formation, he got up and formed a hand seal.

The magic array lit up, startling the ape demon. It leaped and, with a few somersaults, darted into the forest.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Ma Zouri disregarded everything else and immediately shouted.

"Chase!"

The group tried to intercept him, but the ape demon was agile and moved with ease in the deep forest. In no time, he escaped into the depths of the mountains and disappeared without a trace.

The disciple who had acted rashly felt very guilty.

"It's all my fault, I let the ape demon escape."

Ma Zouri waved his hand.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

"Brother Ma, what should we do?"

"Li Muyu said there's a Five Realms Bull Demon in the forest, should we chase after him?"

Ma Zouri was also hesitant. Although it was only Li Muyu's side of the story, he couldn't risk his brothers' lives.

One of the disciples was indignant.

"He's never been here before, how would he know there's a Bull Demon? I think it's just an excuse he's making up because he's afraid to face the monsters."

"Furthermore, our Enforcement Hall has cooperated in slaying countless demonic beasts. Even if there really is a Bull Demon, we might still be able to fight it."

Ma Zouri hesitated slightly, but finally made up his mind.

"Chase!"

Outside the forest.

The sky gradually darkened, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Li Muyu and his companion sat down under a tree to take shelter from the rain.

Name: Li Muyu

[Realm Level: Perfected in the Sixth Realm (2940/3000)]

[Cultivation Technique: Azure Sky Transformation Cloud Technique, Intermediate Earth Rank (Great Success 3540/5000)]

[Eight Directions Prison Tiger Technique, High-Level Earth Rank (Minor Completion 1423/2000)]

Ji Yudie calmed down at this moment and frowned slightly when she saw that the people in the Enforcement Hall had not moved for a long time.

"You said there are five Bull Demons in the mountains, is that true or false?"

Li Muyu laughed.

"I lied to them, saying I was afraid of dying. Would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yudie couldn't help but sneer.

That's true, it does fit his cowardly and afraid-of-death nature.

Presumably, it was Gu Qingxue who slew the five-realm snake demon with the sword at Zheyun Mountain, and the credit was ultimately given to him.

The two were talking.

"Moo—"

A cry suddenly came from deep within the mountains and forests, echoing throughout the entire Xiaguang Mountain.

Li Muyu's expression immediately changed.

"These idiots!"

They immediately sped off into the deep forest.

Ji Yudie followed closely behind, her expression complex as she gazed at the figure ahead.

I initially thought it was all just Li Muyu's story, but the roar he just made was undeniable.

Beside a small pond deep in the forest.

The members of the Enforcement Hall are fighting a bull demon.

It is ten feet long, with a bull's head and a human body, a broad back and a wide body, white fangs, a pair of huge, curved, sharp horns, and dark brown skin with a blood-red sheen.

His muscles were like a suit of flesh and blood armor, allowing everyone to slash and stab him with all their might, yet they could not be harmed in the slightest.

Ma Zouri leaned on his broadsword, his body soaked by the rain, his face ashen and pale, and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

He was just charged head-on by the Bull Demon. Although he managed to block with his sword in time, the Bull Demon's immense brute force still sent him flying dozens of feet. His trembling hands made it impossible for him to even hold the sword steady.

Watching his disciples fall one after another around him, Ma Zouri was filled with remorse. If he had listened to Li Muyu's advice, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Watch out!"

Bull Demon flung one of his disciples away, then suddenly adjusted his spear and charged straight at Ma Zouri.

Shouyin darted out from beside him and shoved Ma Zouri aside, but he himself was caught off guard and was run over by the Bull Demon.

"Little Guardian!"

Watching him fall to the ground before him, Ma Zouri could no longer suppress his anger.

"You beast, I'll kill you!"

Ma Zouri roared, gathering all his true energy. The broad blade of his sword trembled uncontrollably, and the rainwater evaporated instantly, as if falling on a red-hot iron.

A sword was thrust forward.

The bull demon's feet dug deep into the ground as if rooted to the spot, carving out two furrows, yet it remained standing.

Ma Zouri collapsed to his knees, powerless, his broadsword shattering into fragments that scattered across the ground.

This sword strike, delivered with almost all its might, only severed one of the Bull Demon's horns.

Looking at the maddened Bull Demon charging towards him, and the disciples lying dead not far away, Ma Zouri gave a self-deprecating smile and closed his eyes resignedly.

boom--

A loud bang, a gust of wind blew past my ears, and the ground shook.

Ma Zouri slowly opened his eyes and saw a white-clad figure standing in front of him.

Li Muyu pressed his palm down on the Bull Demon's head, his five fingers pressing down, and with his physical body, he forcefully stopped the Bull Demon's attack.

"You're not dead yet, are you?"

Ma Zouri exhaled a heavy breath.

"It's not far now."

Ji Yudie followed closely behind, and when she saw the devastated battlefield, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Li Muyu clenched his fist and sent the Bull Demon flying back ten feet.

"Take them away from here."

Ji Yudie said.

"And what about you?"

Li Muyu rubbed his hands together, a hint of interest gleaming in his eyes.

"I'm going to bullfight!"

Ji Yudie waved her sleeve, and white silk ribbons danced like cranes, entangling the people of the Enforcement Hall and causing them to retreat.

Since Li Muyu began practicing the Eight Directions Prison Tiger Technique, he has not yet used his full strength. Today, he will use this Fifth Realm Bull Demon to test the strength of his physical body.

Ji Yudie led everyone to a distance, took out a jade bottle from her Qiankun bag, and gave each person a healing pill.

After confirming that everyone was safe, they were worried that Li Muyu wouldn't be able to handle the situation alone, so they prepared to go back to help.

A loud thud.

A massive figure, like a sandbag, was thrown into the pool, creating waves several meters high.

Li Muyu arrived on the wind, his expression slightly disappointed.

"Is that all the intensity you're looking for?"

"How come he's even weaker than that cauliflower snake from Jade Void Palace?"

As the waves splashed, the Bull Demon's massive body burst out of the lake, its eyes bloodshot. Although it knew that the human before it was incredibly powerful, it still charged recklessly.

"What a stubborn ox!"

Li Muyu had had enough fun, so he raised his hand and summoned a jet-black sword arrow, ready to finish it off.

Thunderfire Sword, specially designed to slay minotaurs!

With a casual slash from Li Muyu's sword.

The bull demon, who had nearly wiped out the entire Law Enforcement Hall, slowly collapsed and passed away peacefully.

[Slay the Fifth Realm Bull Demon, reward 3000 Steamed Bun Coins]

The members of the Enforcement Hall watched the scene unfold from afar, their faces showing shock, but also a hint of self-mockery rising in their hearts.

Even though you try your best, you're still not as good as others. Is this the difference?

Even Ji Yudie couldn't help but show surprise, her eyes, as cold as a deep pool, rippled with emotion.

Slaying demons of the fifth realm was not difficult for Ji Yudie, who ranked fourth on the Sky List, but it was certainly not as easy as Li Muyu's task.

In fact, Li Muyu's sword strike relied more on the Thunderfire Sword's natural advantage over the demon race. Otherwise, this bull demon, with its thick hide and tough flesh, would not have been so easy to defeat, even though it was no match for him.

Seeing Ji Yudie staring straight at him, Li Muyu teased,

"Isn't it a pity I didn't die at the hands of the Bull Demon King?"

Ji Yudie gave a soft snort and glanced away.

"Heaven is blind!"

Li Muyu raised his hand as if to strike.

Ji Yudie immediately became like a frightened bird, instinctively covering her buttocks, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Muyu.

In front of everyone, Li Muyu naturally wouldn't actually do it; he was just trying to scare her.

Despite his injuries, Ma Zouri bowed respectfully.

Thank you!

The group had previously held many prejudices against Li Muyu, but they never expected that he would save them at the crucial moment, which made them somewhat embarrassed.

Li Muyu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

In fact, he had no choice but to take action this time.

As the leader of the Enforcement Hall, he couldn't explain to the Enforcement Elders if too many people were lost.

The idea of ​​repaying evil with good is something that will never happen to me.

-

Mount Nainai.

Pei Yourong's attic.

Gu Qingxue was pulled aside by her master for a casual chat, and inadvertently glanced at the bed and noticed a man's underpants lying on it.

"This looks like it belongs to my junior brother."

Pei Yourong explained that she had stayed up too late last night and forgot to put it away.

"I was washing clothes for Mu'er a few days ago, and it must have been brought here by accident."

Gu Qingxue touched it with her hand, but it was still wet.
