What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

"If we hadn't watched you grow up, we would all have believed it," Hua Jieyu said with a gentle laugh, covering her mouth.

"However, the fact that you were able to hold your own against a Foundation Establishment cultivator shows that your talent surpasses ours."

Yi Qing had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his face was serious and unsmiling. His body was straight like a drawn sword, and he was a man who looked like a sword cultivator at first glance.

"No, I was just lucky." Yue Qingwu shook her head helplessly.

"Excessive humility is not right. Come here, we also want to hear the opinion of a Qi Refining cultivator whose strength is no weaker than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Flowers can speak.

Her junior sister was still as obedient as she remembered. It was just that the Foundation Establishment puppet at the entrance indicated that her junior sister was not as weak as she appeared.

I just don't know if the rumors are as outrageous as they seem.

As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they acknowledged the strength of their youngest junior sister.

"Okay." Yue Qingwu went over to look at the map on the table.

"According to our investigation, a group of Blood Fiend Sect demonic cultivators are gathering around Yunyuan Ancient City, intending to retake it."

"We need to find a way to take the initiative and not let them accumulate strength so leisurely." Hua Jieyu pointed to several locations on the map.

"Junior Sister, do you have any thoughts or opinions?" Hua Jieyu asked.

"Third Senior Sister, our mission is to guard Yunyuan Ancient City so that we have a safe retreat route should anything happen to our Master at the front lines."

"There's no need to take the initiative. They might be waiting for us to leave the barrier of Yunyuan Ancient City," Yue Qingwu said after a moment's thought.

"This isn't like you at all," Nie Ning said from the side.

"What style do I have, Senior Brother Nie?" Yue Qingwu asked, puzzled.

"Logically speaking, you should have already fought your way out by now, and you should have gone to the Fruit Forest with your master on the very first day you arrived in Yunyuan Ancient City, instead of staying behind."

Nie Ning had been to Stone Village with her junior sister Yue Qingwu and had been spending time with her within the sect, so she knew Yue Qingwu's character very well.

"On the contrary, your behavior over the past month has been too abnormal."

"Senior Brother Nie, this is who I am. This is how I have always been."

Yue Qingwu said expressionlessly.

I'm not going to leave the city to hunt down the Blood Fiend Sect's demonic cultivators. There are Foundation Establishment cultivators eyeing us from the outside; Yue Qingwu really can't beat them.

"Fine, you're still not happy about telling the truth." Nie Ning shrugged.

"Let's go, let's go out of the city and investigate before making a specific decision," Hua Jieyu said.

Everyone readily agreed to Hua Jieyu's arrangement.

The group walked on the streets of Yunyuan Ancient City. There was a barrier above them, and to leave the city, they had to go through the barrier exit of the city gate.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Qingwu." A disciple of the Shangqing Sword Sect greeted her on the way.

Greetings to all Foundation Establishment seniors.

"I like polite NPCs."

Yue Qingwu intended to respond with a smile as usual, but her mouth involuntarily uttered another sentence.

"Li has awakened from his slumber?" Yue Qingwu was startled, but at the same time felt a sudden sense of relief.

He finally woke up.

I no longer need to worry about failing to protect my master's retreat route.

With Li around, no accidents will happen in Yunyuan Ancient City.

"Qing, what does 'Senior Sister Qingwu NPC' mean? I don't understand." A beautiful female sword cultivator dressed in the attire of the Shangqing Sword Sect looked uneasy.

She thought she hadn't listened to Senior Sister Qingwu's words and was therefore disrespectful, which led to her being beaten.

"It's nothing," Yue Qingwu said.

Hua Jieyu and the other two exchanged amusement. Was their junior sister really that scary?

"Hehehe! You scum of the Shangqing Sword Sect, prepare to die!" A streak of bloody light shot out from the side of the street.

They headed straight for the beautiful female sword cultivator next to Yue Qingwu.

"It's great to start doing dungeons right away."

Yue Qingwu quickly concealed the female sword behind her and swung it.

A white, transparent veil appeared in the sky, blocking the streak of blood-red light.

"I'll show you what's what."

Yue Qingwu unleashed another ink-wash sword aura, and the demonic cultivator not far away was moved beneath it.

It was split in two on the spot.

A large number of Blood Fiend Sect demonic cultivators suddenly appeared from nowhere and engaged in a fierce battle with the righteous cultivators in the city.

At the same time, five imposing figures appeared above Yunyuan Ancient City.

"Prepare to die, you ants of the Shangqing Sword Sect! Today, we will refine you all into resources for our cultivation of the Great Dao!"

"Well done!" Yue Qingwu excitedly drew his sword and charged into the crowd of demonic cultivators.

Blood stained her clothes and her beautiful face.

"This is our junior sister." Nie Ning nodded, looking exactly as I expected.

On the contrary, Hua Jieyu and Yi Qing were both dumbfounded.

Is this still the kind-hearted junior sister they remember?

The female sword cultivator from the Shangqing Sword Sect, who had just been protected, was both frightened and respectful when she saw the blood-covered Yue Qingwu with its murderous expression.

"As expected of Senior Sister Yue Qingwu, she's amazing."

"It seems that the rumors about the Shangqing Sword Sect aren't all false," Hua Jieyu said.

Yi Qing expressed his strong agreement.

"Let's go deal with those five Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators in the sky too." Hua Jieyu's expression also turned serious.

The ancient city of Yunyuan has a defensive barrier that can withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it is not without its limits.

They need two Foundation Establishment cultivators to protect the barrier formation and use the spiritual energy from the spirit stone mines beneath Yunyuan Ancient City to power the formation and kill the enemy.

Yue Qingwu fought his way from one end of the street to the other, his body covered in blood.

She then cast a cleansing spell to restore herself to cleanliness.

Lu Li's green experience bar on the game interface kept rising.

"As expected, you get more experience from running dungeons," Lu Li exclaimed.

Yue Qingwu listened to the inexplicable words, but she had no mind to think about what they meant.

All she knew was that after this incident, all her efforts over the past month to improve how others perceived her had been in vain.

Fortunately, those he killed were all demonic cultivators. Even though the process was a bit bloody, he was still able to maintain his identity as a righteous cultivator.

We've cleared out most of the mobs, time to go fight the boss.

Lu Li, controlling the game interface, saw five Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking the barrier in the sky, while two NPCs standing next to him were fighting against them.

It seems to be still in the CG story stage.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this game, the combat style will likely change.

Lu Li looked at the cutscene animation at the top of the game interface and guessed how the game would play next.

The current Sword Immortal game features 2D, soul-based combat. Occasionally, you'll encounter bosses that require flying to dodge, but most of the battles are ground-based.

In the game, once a character breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their stats will increase, and the combat style will likely change from 2D to 3D.

To put it simply, what was supposed to be a game of warships battling each other at sea has turned into an aerial dogfight.

There is now one more dimension in the battle scene.

This game will probably become even more difficult to play in the future.

Fortunately, Lu Li had played dogfighting war games before, so he was somewhat familiar with them.

"Junior Sister, don't worry. This barrier was created by Master using a high-grade Earth-level array plate brought from the Shangqing Sword Sect and spiritual veins. It can withstand attacks from late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Nie Ning thought his junior sister was worried that the formation barrier would be broken, and that her two senior brothers, Hua Jieyu and Yi Qing, would not be able to withstand five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"It will break," Yue Qingwu said.

This is clearly a cutscene. It's not like the game designers would create a huge scene, then not let the players fight the boss and just end it there.

Was it really necessary to make such a big show just to show off your CG technology?
