This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

"Trying to run? Did you ask me first?!"

Jiang Liu caught a glimpse of Chu Qingge out of the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and flicked out a sword aura from his fingertip, chasing after her.

Chu Qingge felt a chill run down his spine and quickly dodged to the side. The sword energy grazed his ear, slicing off a piece of flesh.

Jiang Liu stepped forward, holding the Hunling Tianyuan Sword against Chu Qingge's body, and sneered, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Saying that the spoils of war should be distributed by your Qingjian Sect, why are you running away now?"

"Aren't you the eldest brother? Aren't you the pride of the Azure Sword Sect? Your junior brothers are almost all dead, why did you run away by yourself!"

Nonsense, why wouldn't we run and wait to die?

I am a prodigy of Zhongzhou, with a bright future ahead of me. How can I die in a place like this!
Chu Qingge was deeply humiliated by Jiang Liu's coercion, but in order to save her life, she still suppressed her anger and begged for mercy, saying, "I was wrong! Fellow Daoist Jiang, spare my life! If we meet again in the future, I will definitely retreat a hundred miles!"

Hmph, if I survive today, I will surely slay you with my sword in the future!
I will not be a human being if I don’t avenge this!

"Now you're scared? Too late."

Jiang Liu's killing intent remained undiminished, his longsword flashed, and the gathered sword energy caused Chu Qingge's expression to change drastically!

"and many more!"

Chu Qingge panicked and screamed, "You've attacked us righteous cultivators! Aren't you afraid the Taiyi Immortal Alliance will issue an arrest warrant for you?!"

"What am I afraid of? I didn't do it!"

Jiang Liu smiled dismissively: "It was all Taiye City's doing, what does it have to do with me?"

He had already decided that if any news did get out, he would shift the blame to Taiye City.

Who was massacring righteous cultivators in the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons?

It's Taiye City, huh? They're just retaliating because Taiye City is wanted by the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

What does the massacre of righteous cultivators in Taiye City have to do with my Jiangliu?
He enjoys the thrill of defeating righteous cultivators, while Taiye City bears the blame and infamy.

Everyone in Zhongzhou knows that the demonic forces in Taiye City are massacring righteous cultivators. I, Jiang Liu, am still a clean, pure, and righteous cultivator who is wholeheartedly devoted to the righteous path!

"Have you left your last words? Then eat my Three-Element Flying Immortal Potion!"

"Jiang Liu! The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever! I, Chu Qingge, will remember this humiliation!"

Seeing that Jiang Liu had no intention of letting him go, Chu Qingge gritted his teeth and took out a spatial jade slip. This jade slip was his only means of survival, which could instantly teleport him a hundred miles away.

Space jade slips are still very expensive in Zhongzhou, but now, to save their lives, they don't care about the price anymore!

He made a threat, then ran away first!
Jiang Liu had just finished reading the message when Chu Qingge had already disappeared.

"Ran?"

Jiang Liu stared at the empty space directly in front of him, a cold smile spreading across his face. He made no attempt to use the Sacred Escape Technique to pursue them.

You managed to escape from me, but can you escape from General Yang's hands now?
"Jiang Liu! You demonic scoundrel, I, Chu Qingge, will never let you live under the same sky!"

Chu Qingge was instantly teleported to the entrance of the second level. Her face was pale as she looked back and saw the last few Qingjian Sect junior brothers being swallowed by the sword light in the far distance. Their eyes were full of resentment, but they had no fighting spirit at all.

Just as Chu Qingge exited the second floor and returned to the first floor, a heavy punch came flying at her face!
"Tianba blasted across the sky!"

When General Yang saw a righteous NPC fleeing towards him, he immediately unleashed a powerful attack without saying a word!
"you!"

Chu Qingge was shocked and tried to dodge, but it was too late!
He never expected that there would be people blocking the door!
Moreover, those blocking the door were righteous cultivators!
Damn it! Why have so many righteous cultivators become lackeys of demonic cultivators!

Is darkness about to fall in Zhongzhou?

Chu Qingge died tragically, filled with resentment.

The Azure Sword Sect has been completely wiped out!

the other side.

Ye Longying's dark purple demonic energy exploded among the crowd in Hua Can Valley, and the disciples of Taiye City followed closely behind, their long swords slashing and creating fierce winds!
A female disciple from Flower Remnant Valley summoned a petal barrier, intending to trap Ye Longying, but was engulfed by a black dragon phantom unleashed by Ye Longying.

"Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash!"

"A wanted poster from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance? Perfect, I'll use your heads to further enhance my reputation."

Ye Longying sneered, and with a sweep of her longsword, she cut the three Flower Remnant Valley disciples who surrounded her in half at the waist.

Men kill men, women kill women!
Su Lianjin, the prodigy of Hua Cangu, was both shocked and furious. While retaliating against Ye Longying, she screamed loudly, "Hua Cangu has done nothing to provoke you, so why are you slaughtering my Hua Cangu disciples!"

"Because you're an NPC!"

Ye Longying replied coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever, and raised her hand to slash with her sword!

"The Demonic Sword Slashes Across the Heavens!"

Su Lianjin: "??????"

What are NPCs?
Nangong Wentian moved like a ghost, specifically targeting high-ranking disciples from various sects.

Jiang Liu killed another NPC with a single sword strike, watched him fall to the ground in agony, and then sent a message to General Yang.

[Jiang Liu: Is the entrance secured? Don't let a single NPC escape!]

General Yang: Rest assured, anyone approaching the entrance will be killed without exception.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

thirty minutes.

Half an hour later, the second layer of the Blood Wasteland was truly a river of blood!

There isn't a single NPC to be seen on the entire map!

Chu Qingge, Su Lianjin, Qin Lie, and other prodigies from Zhongzhou are all dead!
The Azure Sword Sect, the Flower Remnant Valley, the Blood Dragon Sect, and other sects were all destroyed!
All the righteous NPCs have been killed, and now only players remain in the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons!

Just as the commotion subsided, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the very heart of the Blood Wasteland.

The players' commotion alerted the BOSS on the second floor!

Jiang Liu and his group gathered together, exchanged glances, and fell into a brief silence.

"How to say?"

Nangong Wentian looked at Jiang Liu, General Yang, and Ye Longying with wariness in his eyes, and said cautiously, "If we start a civil war now, righteous NPCs might arrive in a little while."

Their previous agreement was that after killing all the righteous NPCs, the bosses in the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons would fight according to their own abilities.

What does "each relying on their own abilities" mean?

Might makes right!
If it really came down to each person relying on their own abilities, Nangong Wentian was confident that he would be the first to be eliminated.

That won't do. He didn't come to the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons just to be a bystander.

To ensure his own profits, he used righteous NPCs as shields.

If we start a civil war now, what if the righteous NPCs come again? Wouldn't we have to join forces again?

One minute they're fighting each other, the next they're joining forces—isn't that a hassle?

Why not just join forces inside the Demon Tower?

Jiang Liu and the others understood perfectly what Nangong Wentian meant.

Should we split up now, or stay united inside the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons?
After a brief silence, General Yang spoke first: "No one can guarantee that more NPCs won't arrive later. On NPC territory, we players should unite as one."

General Yang expressed his agreement with Nangong Wentian's proposal.

"What did the BOSS say?"

Jiang Liu asked.

"Let's split it evenly."

Nangong Wentian shrugged and said with a friendly smile, "It's just four of us sharing. It doesn't matter how much we get from a few bosses."

Jiang Liu: “.”

You said it wasn't important because you didn't see the attributes of the 100,000-year-old beast bone and soul!
Jiang Liu did not reply. Although the 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls were valuable, they were not enough to make him fall out with other top players.

More like beast bones and souls from tens of millions of years ago.

"I can do it."

Ye Longying said impatiently, "Can you stop dawdling? The BOSS is about to run out of the BOSS room."

"Alright then." Jiang Liu shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "Let's join forces for now during our honeymoon period."

After reaching an agreement, everyone headed towards the BOSS room.

Upon entering the BOSS room, the group finally saw the BOSS's appearance: a black-armored demon bear hundreds of meters tall, with fresh blood dripping from its paws, a golden stripe on its chest, and bloodshot eyes staring at the intruders. It was none other than the second-level BOSS, the Black-Armored Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King!
At its feet lay the corpses of more than a dozen overconfident righteous NPCs, who had clearly been instantly killed when they tried to launch a sneak attack.

"There are still several more layers of maps ahead, let's finish this quickly!"

Not wanting to waste any time, Ye Longying gripped her long sword and charged forward first.

"Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash!"

The Black-Armored Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King roared and raised its paw to strike Ye Longying. The force of the paw sent the surrounding rocks flying everywhere.

Ye Longying dodged the attack with a flash, and at the same time, the long sword formed from demonic energy slashed at the bear's claw, leaving only a white mark, which made her retreat repeatedly.

"What a tough skin!"

Nightfall Cherry Blossom exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Liu summoned six Dao-level spiritual seeds, which floated around his body, and the Hunyuan Heavenly Spirit Sword in his hand gathered energy once more!

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

He leaped into the air, his sword flashing, aiming for the golden markings on the chest of the Mountain-Splitting Bear!

That's clearly the BOSS's weakness.

The sword light struck the pattern, and the Mountain-Splitting Bear roared in pain. Its huge body swayed, and the pattern on its chest glowed with golden light, actually reflecting the sword energy back!

"I'll take it head-on, you guys flank and attack from the side!"

General Yang stepped forward. As a body cultivator, his defense was the best in the Heavenly Dynasty, and he could easily withstand a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection BOSS.

General Yang drew the aggro head-on, while Jiang Liu, Ye Longying, and Nangong Wentian unleashed their ultimate attacks from three different directions around the Black Armor Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King!
"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

"The Demonic Sword Slashes Across the Heavens!"

"A myriad of stars fall!"

"Roar!"

Several powerful attacks rained down in succession. The Mountain-Splitting Bear let out a shrill scream, its massive body frozen in place, the crimson in its eyes gradually fading.

boom!
With a loud bang, the Black Armor Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King crashed to the ground, its body gradually turning into specks of light and dissipating, leaving behind only a black tombstone that didn't even have a refresh time.

next second.

As soon as the BOSS died, four figures rushed towards the dropped items and grabbed them with all four hands!

Jiang Liu was the fastest, scanning all the dropped items in one go. Before anyone else could speak, he shouted, "I'm posting the dropped items on the public chat!"

As they spoke, two item names appeared on the public chat.

[Black-Armored Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King Beast Bone]

[Year: 100,000 years]

Location: Sternum

[Attributes: +200% Defense, +50% All Attribute Resistance]

【Black-Armored Mountain-Splitting Demon Bear King Beast Soul】

[Year: 100,000 years]

【Attribute: Mountain Split】

[Effect: Applies an 'Armor Penetration' effect to melee attacks, ignoring 20% ​​of the target's defense]

"There are only two 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls, that's all."

Jiang Liu shamelessly squinted at the Dao-rank materials.

"Beast bones and beast souls?"

General Yang frowned slightly: "These attributes are really not good."

"There are only two, how do we divide them?"

Nangong Wentian tentatively said, "Give me the honor, I'll take one first, and then I'll let you have the rest?"

"It's not your turn to take it first!"

Ye Longying said without any politeness, and then said, "According to the rules of the martial arts world, let's roll the dice."

Good rules. So here's the question: Does the game "Cultivation Era" have a dice-rolling function?

Really!
The four people started rolling the dice.

Jiang Liu: 24.

"Depend on!"

When he saw the score, he knew he had no chance.

Night-blooming Cherry: 65.

General Yang: 91.

Nangong Wentian: 6.

Nangong Wentian: "."

How can you roll a 6?

After the dice roll, the two 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls belonged to General Yang and Ye Longying.

"You guys go first this time, then it'll be our turn on the next floor."

Jiang Liu reminded him again.

"You don't need to say anything more, I can't take advantage of you."

Ye Longying snorted and took the 100,000-year-old beast soul without hesitation. She said to General Yang, "The beast soul is of the attack attribute, so I'll take it. The beast bone is of the defense attribute, so I'll give it to you. Is that alright?"

"no problem."

General Yang nodded. He wasn't overly eager to compete, and besides, the 100,000-year-old beast bone was a perfect fit for him.

After dividing the spoils, they didn't stay in the BOSS room for long and went straight to the third floor.

The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons has nine floors, but the monsters inside are too few to be effective for leveling up. It's better to clear it quickly.

The group stepped into the passage, which was pitch black inside, with only the faint glow of the demonic fire on the walls. The demonic energy in the air was even denser than on the second floor, and the roars of demonic beasts could be faintly heard from ahead.

"The monsters on the third floor should be even more powerful, everyone be careful."

General Yang reminded them in a deep voice that although they didn't need to worry too much about the strength of the monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, General Yang's personality was to be cautious above all else.

The members of the Taiyao tribe huddled together, while Ye Longying led the players from Taiye City at the forefront, her long sword ready to be drawn at any moment. She could sense that there was more than one powerful demonic beast aura ahead, and they were getting closer and closer.

Light gradually appeared at the end of the passage, and the roars of the monsters became clearer.

As the group emerged from the passage, they were greeted by a dense forest of demonic vines. The vines writhed on the ground as if they were alive, and in the distance, dozens of crimson eyes stared at them, radiating a bloodthirsty aura.

"It seems there are more monsters on the third floor than on the first two floors!"

Jiang Liu was slightly excited and walked towards the Demon Vine Forest without hesitation: "Clear these little guys first, then go find the BOSS on the third floor."

Ye Longying immediately followed, slashing her long sword at a wriggling demon vine beside her. The vine was instantly severed, and green sap flowed out.

The demonic beasts in the Demon Vine Forest were quickly alerted, and dozens of blue-eyed demonic foxes darted out of the woods and pounced on the group.

Although these fox demons were only 18,000 years old, each of them was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Their strength was not high, but they had the advantage of large numbers and extremely fast speed. For a time, they were entangled in a battle with the group.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

Jiang Liu swept his sword out, instantly killing several demon foxes.

The little fox was jumping around, which annoyed him.

The monster on this level is a blue fox demon, and the map scene is a forest of demonic vines.

The small, exquisite fox spirits darted through the demon vine forest with extraordinary agility, making them incredibly slow even when soloing, let alone fighting groups of monsters. (End of Chapter)
