Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

Master Xuanzhen made a cold snort upon seeing the situation, forming a sword technique with one hand to control the flying sword under his feet as he dove downwards. With the other hand, moving like a phantom, he formed hundreds of illusory flying swords around himself using Daoist mana.

He led the way like a torrential sword rain, fiercely sweeping down from the top of the wild mountain, causing the demons who couldn’t dodge in time to be shattered by the hundreds of flying swords in the blink of an eye.

"One Sword to Break the Heavens Style!"

"Gale Swordsmanship!"

"Qiankun Eight Trigrams Palm!"

"Great Dao One Qi Sword Skill!"

...

Following closely behind Master Xuanzhen, his disciples also took action to exterminate the enemies. Most of them used Daoist swordsmanship, filling everyone’s vision with flying swords and sword lights. A few Daoists preferred close combat, directly engaging in unmatched battle among the demons.

There was no alternative; these demons were of ordinary types, not even reaching the level of a Demon General. They had no means to resist the power of the Daoist sects from Celestial Essence City, only to be exterminated or flee in all directions.

Two players also joined in.

A youth from Xia Country wearing sunglasses rode on a sky-blue skateboard, switching the silver pistol in his hand for a rotating machine gun.

He maintained flight while pursuing the fleeing demons below, controlling the multi-barrelled gun to spit out terrifying tongues of fire, tearing the demons to shreds while excitedly shouting:

"Trash! Feel the allure of the Gatling gun!"

In another direction, a freckled white woman with a strange appearance painted a different picture.

Her figure flickered, arriving above a section of demons temporarily unchecked hundreds of meters away. Then, her eyes emitted a slight crimson hue, and a special power enveloped all the demons she gazed at.

Without a sound, the demons fell silently in waves, with all the corpses becoming extremely desiccated within a second, turning into a heap of dry bones, as if long deceased.

During this process, she didn’t make any obvious sounds, and the crimson glow in her eyes wasn’t eye-catching. It can be said that she effortlessly annihilated a large number of demons in a strange manner.

"What kind of ability does this woman possess?"

Wang Zhifan, observing this scene through his incarnation, couldn’t help but feel curious. It was the first time he saw such a simple yet fierce attack method, worthy of being called a ’blink-and-kill’.

"Her strength may be formidable... Her decisive attack on the demons suggests her chance of being an inside agent is reduced, but it can’t be ruled out that she may be acting, since ordinary demons are mere fodder without any status..."

Wang Zhifan thought to himself, continuing to watch closely if this woman would look for an opportunity to betray and attack the Daoists, or if she’d exhibit any other suspicious behavior, which would provide evidence of her identity.

Sure enough, he quickly saw this strange white woman making unusual movements.

After annihilating a large group of demons in the blink of an eye, instead of immediately attacking another group of demons, this woman subtly glanced at the fighting teammates beside her, then suddenly turned her back to all allies, opening half her lips.

The clone Wang Zhifan had arranged to closely monitor this woman immediately repositioned to see that the woman, with a lollipop in her mouth, suddenly extended multiple crimson, slender "tongues" from between her teeth, like agile tentacles, swiftly enveloping a demon’s dead, desiccated body on the ground.

This corpse was then enveloped by these tongues, defying the laws of physics as it was instantly dragged into her mouth! It was utterly incomprehensible how a demon’s corpse larger than an adult could smoothly slip into her half-open mouth! This defied all logic of space and size!

"Damn! That’s definitely not human!"

From far away in the Martial Venerable Hall, Wang Zhifan almost jumped from his mat when he saw this, almost unable to restrain the urge to move in and strike this bizarre female player with thunderous force, but ultimately decided to continue observing for a while longer.

He then saw through the clone’s vision that this white woman, with her back to the allies behind her, had a few more small red tongues emerging from the corner of her lollipop-holding mouth, as if eager to pick another demon corpse from the ground to fit into her mouth; however, she suddenly turned her head sharply, looking towards an empty spot with cold and alert eyes.

"Not good! She found out!"

Wang Zhifan immediately controlled his incarnation to dive deep underground, quickly changing position.

Without a doubt, his earlier observation had been noticed by that white woman. Even if she hadn’t seen his incarnation, she must have detected some clues and became vigilant.

"I’ve startled the snake... She’ll likely change her behavior now, putting on a better disguise... or becoming directly enraged?"

Wang Zhifan thought, controlling his clone to reveal a trace of movement in the distance. He no longer cared if the woman could detect him; he just wanted to see what she would do next, determining whether he needed to move in and eliminate this bizarre being.

Yet, to his speechless surprise, when the woman appeared again within the clone’s perception and sight, she had reverted to a relatively "normal" look.

She left the position where she had previously "absorbed" the demon’s corpse, no longer using those crimson eyes to kill demons en masse, but instead choosing to wield the lollipop in her mouth against the enemies.

She seemed to mimic the Daoists controlling their swords, lifting her hand to control the children’s lollipop flying through the air like a sharp little flying sword, continuously piercing through the bodies of nearby demons. This highly efficient slaughter was accompanied by a scene of absurdity tinged with strangeness.

"She’s started disguising indeed, though such a peculiar disguise makes one wonder at her line of thinking... Yet, she hasn’t attacked any ally so far, only killing demons... What exactly is her background?"

In the Martial Venerable Hall, sitting on the meditation mat, Wang Zhifan felt utterly bewildered, sensing that the woman’s identity was utterly unfathomable. From many aspects, it was evident she wasn’t human, yet she had the identity and stance of a player, making him feel she could betray at any time, yet she hadn’t truly betrayed.

At this moment, five hundred miles away, Breaking Wilderness Mountain suddenly exploded into chaos!

On the ground where the demons gathered, a massive evil signet suddenly pulsed with rings of bloody light. These blood glows quickly merged into a unified form under the astonished eyes of nearby Daoists, forming a hunched figure with immense power.

Within the afterglow of the blood light, an inhuman, strange voice excitedly spoke:

"Kekekekeke... Just as I arrived, there’s so much blood for me? The Calamity Realm truly is wonderful beyond compare!"

Then, everyone watched as a withered arm suddenly reached out from the blood light. It extended astonishingly fast over a thousand meters, then instantly retracted, grabbing a Daoist attempting to escape via sword flight and dragging him into the blood light, followed by screams and crunching sounds.

"Everyone retreat! Quickly retreat!"

Simultaneously, Master Xuanzhen shouted, issuing the most urgent warning, urging all present disciples to evacuate from the blood light’s entity as fast as possible.

This was because he’d determined it to be a Demon Venerable, one of the talking Demon Venerables recorded in ancient texts, a terrifying entity completely beyond their ability to resist.

"Flee! Flee! Kekeke... I do love to see you all scrambling desperately like bloodied prey!"

The terrifying entity within the blood light didn’t hinder them, instead growing more excited with his eerie laughter.

But his excited laughter stopped within two seconds, with all attention turning towards a specific direction, due to the emergence of a presence he couldn’t ignore.

"Is that... the Martial Venerable?!"

Originally flying away with his sword, Master Xuanzhen came to an abrupt stop, turning to look at the ground behind him, discovering a presence that filled him with immense joy.

Indeed, it was as Wang Zhifan realized the anomaly and swiftly arrived through dream entry and breaking dreams, ready to test the strength of this unknown Demon Venerable.

Just as he was about to move, the freckled white woman he had kept an eye on suddenly charged ahead of him.
