A few people exhaled in relief, realizing that the elite monster actually had a few minions hidden in the dark. Fortunately, a skilled person passed by; otherwise, with these few small monsters, the group would have surely met their doom.
The ’Immortal’ faced the swarm of Bone Feather Vultures with indifference.
Ten Thousand Sword Technique!
He casually launched dozens of streaks of Sword Qi.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the multitude of sword shadows swept forth like a storm; those flying swords could even track attacks. In an instant, the small monsters were felled, leaving only the elite big monster, which, after being hit with several bursts of Sword Qi, charged even more furiously at the ’Sword Immortal.’ Yet, the ’Sword Immortal,’ disinclined to continue fighting, turned and swiftly flew away.
The Bone Feather Vulture relentlessly pursued.
"Eh, why is the immortal running away?"
The few people were puzzled. This immortal was so powerful, surely he couldn’t be unable to handle just one elite monster?
The answer came in the next second: a rumbling sound suddenly erupted from the forest behind them.
The rumbling swiftly approached, punctuated with the crunch of breaking trees, and even the ground began to shake.
When they turned around, they saw a mass of monsters chasing from the direction behind them.
The four were so frightened they quickly dashed out of the woods and hid behind a large tree. Turning around, they saw countless demons flying in the direction the ’Sword Immortal’ had flown.
Having narrowly escaped death, each of them was filled with lingering fear, yet they were also immensely curious about the Sword Immortal. If they could form a relationship with such a master, even a little assistance would greatly benefit them.
Having struggled in this deadly game for so long, the four dreamed of securing a powerful ally.
"Let’s retreat!" Wutang Xuebi timidly said.
"No, let’s follow and see," Xiangfeng Yuye decisively said. The group cautiously followed from behind, unable to help but marvel—so many demons!
That Sword Immortal would fly a distance and then circle back, shooting a wave of sword rain at the pursuing demons to maintain their aggression.
He seemed uninterested in focusing fire to eliminate any of the monsters, consistently spreading the sword rain as widely as possible to hit as many enemies as possible.
While many demons were hit, most were injured but not killed. Occasionally, if some tried to flee, the immortal would fly over to deliver another blow, ensuring no monsters left the group.
The few watched and quickly grasped the approach.
"He’s pulling the monsters for someone!"
Pulling monsters is a common tactic in games, where a profession with high speed and long-range capability attracts a large number of monsters together, allowing a profession with AOE abilities to wipe them out efficiently. It’s one of the most efficient ways to grind and level up.

But in this deadly game, the four wouldn’t dare attempt such ’high-level operations’; battling even two monsters simultaneously felt too much, encountering three to five monsters was inconceivable.
Seeing someone pull hundreds of monsters at once, they were utterly speechless.
Is this game playable ?
At this time, the demons charged into a valley.
The group climbed to the edge of the valley’s cliff, looking down to see a shocking sight. Hundreds or thousands of demons were flooding into the valley like a tide, rushing towards its end.
The valley was gourd-shaped, with slopes to the west and a narrow exit to the east.
Not only the white-clothed Sword Immortal was pulling monsters, but on the other side of the slope, there was a person in black, riding the wind in the sky, shooting out handfuls of flying knives, leading a large group of demons into the valley.
At this moment, the valley was already packed with monsters, and at the valley’s end stood a five-meter-tall Golden Armored Giant, blocking the exit, forcing the tide of monsters to stay within the valley.
The white-clothed Sword Immortal flew right over the Golden Armored Giant’s head, causing the small monsters to merge into the demon tide, blocked by the Golden Armored Giant.
"Holy shit, that’s amazing, is this a god?"
Looking at the Golden Armored Giant, the few were stunned.
Though the Sword Immortal was impressive, he merely relied on speed to kite the monsters. But the Golden Armored Giant was directly confronting thousands of monsters.
Those demons that took all four of them to defeat were now being cut down like wheat, piling up in layers at the valley entrance.
This person was unbelievably strong!
Even I Want to Be Immortal, at the core of the battlefield, thought the same.
With a full set of epic equipment, his defense reached terrifying levels, with resilience high enough to tank a Boss head-on.
The Protective Divine Light made him incredibly resistant to the demons’ various demon arts, feeling no fear at all.
The Demon-suppressing Spirit Light and Netherworld Aura suppressed the monster’s attributes to the lowest level.
The Giant Spirit Embodiment + Giant Technique granted him an enormous size and strength boost.
And allowed him to wield the strength to face thousands alone—geographic advantage played a big role too. Truly surrounded by thousands of monsters, he wouldn’t stand a chance, but when stuck in such a gourd-shaped entrance, he genuinely became a one-man army.
Combat Skill—Thunder Shock!
Boom! The hammer struck down, releasing a massive shockwave, its power proportionally increased with the size, producing an ultimate effect from a high-level combat skill.
A dozen demons were immediately pulverized into corpse fragments. The Dragon Bone Hammer·Shattering Star’s massive damage, combined with Giant Spirit’s demon-suppressing power and Demon-suppressing Spirit Light, made slaying small monsters as easy as snapping twigs.
A huge-headed elite demon squeezed past its companions, charging at I Want to Be Immortal.
Combat Skill—Barbaric Bull Horn Charge!
The rest of the demons followed, preparing to win with numbers.
One should be cautious with such an elite monster.
I Want to Be Immortal suddenly posed, kneeling on one knee, gathering strength to jump.
Secret Technique—Nine Heavens Demon Falling!
The Golden Armored Giant soared into the sky, rising high before crashing down like a golden comet, heavily striking the off-course bull-headed demon.
A massive shockwave burgeoned from the impact point, spreading outward.
A vast area was blown away, even the elite demon was trampled underfoot.
The distant demons began casting spells.
Seven or eight demon arts instantly struck the Golden Armored Giant, visibly pausing its form.
Without giving the demons a chance to counterattack, a giant bear descended from the sky.
Sorcery—Ox Demon Split Earth Wave!
Rumble! The shockwave flipped another large group of demons on the ground.
"I’ll hold them off, quickly recover your health."
"Understood." I Want to Be Immortal quickly retreated to restore health and breath. An Ran, in her barbaric giant bear form, directly entered a frenzied state, unleashing the Ox Demon Split Earth Wave incessantly on the ground, each strike sending the surrounding enemies flying.
Just one person and one bear blocked the valley’s exit securely.
