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

Although I don't know what happened, I must save the NPC Hua Jieyu myself.

The game's storyline is fragmented; I might have missed some parts of the plot.

It doesn't matter, I'll take action.

Jin Yuan Daoist made the first move, raising his withered arm and thrusting it forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yue Qingwu.

The longsword pierced through Yue Qingwu.

Her vision went black, and when she opened her eyes again, the withered old man stood before the throne, sword in hand.

Good heavens, is that speed outrageous? No wonder he's a Golden Core cultivator.

Lu Li was careless.

Who would have thought that just one realm could result in such a huge difference in numerical values?

He was instantly killed at the start of the game.

It's been a long time since I felt like I was facing a formidable opponent.

This is the essence of Soulslike games.

That's my favorite thing to do: Hawking fighting Ultraman.

It's all about pushing the limits; it's about blowing up sharks.

Fighting trash NPCs doesn't feel as fun.

Is this the long-lost feeling of exhilaration? It's ignited!

"Come on, let's continue!"

The gaunt old man, brandishing his sword, instantly teleported in front of Yue Qingwu.

Rapier.

A scabbard appeared in Yue Qingwu's hand, and with incredible speed, she sheathed the withered old man's longsword.

At the same time, a red dot appeared on the BOSS in Lu Li's game interface and disappeared in a flash.

Immediately click the left mouse button to execute.

He kicked the scabbard, rotated his other hand to grip the sword in a reverse grip, lowered his body, and thrust upwards.

The long sword pierced through the withered old man's chin and head.

He drew his sword, twirled it, and flicked it, leaving black bloodstains on the blade.

In the game interface, the exaggeratedly thin old man, Jin Yuan Dao Ren, had his health bar drop slightly, down to about one-twentieth, and was slowly recovering.

The gaunt old man glanced blankly at Yue Qingwu, and a sword reappeared in his hand.

He swung his sword and slashed.

Yue Qingwu dodged to the side, and the huge beam behind him was cut off in one smooth motion, causing the beam to collapse.

As expected of someone at the Golden Core stage, they don't lose health when attacked, but getting hit by them instantly resets the game.

The two sides clashed again, and the violent sword energy cleaved the buildings inside the hall into pieces.

Hundreds of rollbacks.

Lu Li plunged his sword into Jin Yuan Dao Ren's chest, reducing the opponent's health bar to almost nothing.

Phew, I finally solved it.

Lu Li then controlled his character to come to the throne bed and pressed the F key to interact.

"I wasn't here... Junior Sister, what are you doing here?"

Hua Jieyu covered her head and propped herself up on the bed, looking at her junior sister Yue Qingwu with surprise.

"You've been kidnapped, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to rescue you," Yue Qingwu said.

"Jin Yuan Daoist? Junior Sister, you killed Jin Yuan Daoist?"

Hua Jieyu also saw the withered old man's body lying on the ground.

She had seen Jin Yuan Dao Ren's appearance before, and she had considered that he might harm her, but in her estimation, it would be her father who came to her rescue.

Instead of his junior sister, since his junior sister was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, she could never be a match for Jin Yuan, a Golden Core cultivator.

"Don't worry, I can stand against the world for you."

Lu Li also made sure to cultivate goodwill.

These words made Hua Jieyu blush.

Just then, Lu Li saw his health bar reappear at the bottom of his game screen.

The display shows "[Jin Yuan Dao Ren has become a demon]".

It's in Phase Two, right?

Lu Li had anticipated this.

"You should get out of the way first, I'll kill him."

"Okay, junior sister."

Hua Jieyu silently stepped back while trying to communicate with her father, only to find that the area was protected by a strong barrier and the communication was ineffective.

"Your strength has exceeded my expectations."

Jin Yuan Dao Ren stood up, his sword already taken from him, and more than a dozen blood-red tentacles appeared behind him.

He reached out his thin, bony hand and grabbed his chest, pulling hard, revealing a blood-red, spine-shaped longsword.

Eyes opened from the sword.

Will this really pass the review?

Lu Li couldn't help but wonder.

Before he could think, dozens of tentacles came crashing down, and at the same time, Jin Yuan Dao Ren launched a lightning-fast close-range attack.

Faced with the attack, Lu Li used parrying as usual.

However, Jin Yuan Dao Ren seemed to have already noticed, and withdrew the longsword from his spine while reaching out to grab Yue Qing Wu with his other hand.

Hold it in the air.

Oh no, this dung monster isn't fighting me head-on anymore, it's switching to throwing techniques.

"You have good talent. Surrender and become my disciple, and I may spare your life."

"As long as you eat a Heart-Eating Gu Worm." Jin Yuan Daoist pulled a long, multi-legged worm from his body, which crawled up his arm and rustled towards Yue Qingwu.

"Qingwu!" Hua Jieyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw her junior sister being captured.

She drew her sword, intending to rush over, but then she remembered that Yue Qingwu's life and death were in the hands of Daoist Jinyuan, and she knew that she couldn't save her junior sister with her own abilities.

Father, where are you? Come quickly! Junior Sister is about to be killed.

Hua Jieyu was almost frantic with worry.

Only her father, who is also at the Golden Core stage, could possibly save her junior sister.

"Really? If I swear allegiance to you, you'll spare my life?"

"Yes, I keep my word."

"Your talent is considerable, which is why I didn't kill you."

"That's what Jin Yuan Dao Ren said."

"Open your mouth, open your mind, and let it in."

"But I refuse!" Yue Qingwu grabbed the multi-legged worm and crushed it to pieces.

He looked at Jin Yuan with a defiant expression.

"What? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Jin Yuan Dao Ren's voice was filled with astonishment.

"One of the things I, Yue Qingwu, enjoy most is saying no to those who think they are powerful!"

It's just a throw, it's just getting one-shotted, so what if we start over?

But since you've said something like that, I'd rather be dead than not respond.

This reduces most of the fun in the game.

"Junior sister, he's so brave!"

Even when her life was hanging by a thread and she was being threatened, her junior sister still did not bow her head and even mocked the other party.

Such luck and courage are beyond my ability to understand.

But this would really kill my junior sister.

[Hua Jieyu's Affection Level: 35 + 5]

Upon seeing the game prompt, Lu Li, controlling his character, glanced at the NPC, Hua Jieyu.

You're very knowledgeable, aren't you? It turns out that your NPC mission to save you wasn't in vain.

"You're courting death!" Jin Yuan Dao Ren's tone rarely showed anger, and he slammed his raised hand down onto the ground.

Boom!

The floorboards shattered, and dust and smoke billowed up.

Just when Lu Li thought he had to reload his save file, he discovered that he was not dead.

Countless blood-red tentacles emerged from the cracks in the ground, binding and imprisoning his character like iron chains.

"Since that's the case, just watch and see how I kill my senior sister right here."

"Jin Yuan Dao Ren said, and slowly walked towards Hua Jieyu.

What? You're not going to kill me but instead want to bully me? That's going too far!

Please, please, this is the only one that won't do.

How could Lu Li tolerate this? He immediately decided to reload his save file.

"Stop struggling. You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator; you can't possibly break free from my spells," said Daoist Jinyuan.

Lu Li noticed an extra F interaction key on the game interface, with a red progress bar jumping left and right.

He immediately started pressing the F key repeatedly to fill the loading bar.

The blood-red iron chains on his body shattered.

He immediately unleashed the skill Lightning Whirlwind Strike, drawing a jet-black bolt of lightning across the hall.

Lu Li stepped on Jin Yuan Dao Ren's back and pulled the long sword out of his body.

"No one can touch her today. I'll protect Hua Jieyu."

Hua Jieyu looked at her junior sister, who was holding a sword and protecting her behind her, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

His body was stained with blood, he held a long sword, his posture was upright and his aura soared to the sky.

"My junior sister is so cool."
