Chapter 348: Who Would Be So Reckless?
Foggy Evil Ghost, is it really that powerful?
The assassins of the Field Clan didn’t expect, and neither did the Extraordinary of the Western Kingdom.
Their intelligence reported that several months ago, this person showed great prowess in the level 25 arena, indeed very strong, but theoretically, this person should be at most less than level 40 now, so even if strong, it’s limited.
Even though the Western Kingdom’s intelligence agency had left some risk space, Li Rui’s strength still greatly exceeded the expectations of those who came to apprehend him.
And Rossi and Vince felt even more complicated.
Throughout the journey, Li Rui barely took action, and when encountering enemy scouts, he sent the two of them to deal with it.
They once suspected that they might have overestimated this person; perhaps he was sent by Dragon Country to the heart of hostile territories for missions simply because his overall abilities were relatively strong.
Such thinking was not without reason; from the highlands to approaching the massive island’s center, Li Rui hadn’t showcased any combat ability, but his team management and morale maintenance were excellent. At least, the two middle-aged assassins felt inferior.
If not for witnessing Li Rui enter a Demon Race forbidden area at the location of Swift Wind Nine Turns and emerging unscathed, they might have underestimated him even more.
But now the situation is different.
They didn’t know what happened under that highland cliff, but witnessing him endure a round of skill bombardment and still be lively; it’s no wonder his body could withstand the cliff’s gale.
Li Rui’s skills and items were sealed, but not his equipment.
He merely activated the earth block Poison Barrier, coupled with his natural resistances, and stubbornly used his formidable physique to withstand part of the melee, smoothly passing through that offensive round.
But after it passed, he didn’t rest; despite being in a silenced state, he surprisingly didn’t solely delay but instead charged forward, wielding the Vajra Umbrella and rushing towards the group of Western Kingdom Extraordinary.
Li Rui was silenced by skills, but others were silenced by Li Rui’s actions.
They couldn’t even instantly figure out how to deal with this lunatic right in front of them.
Who rushes forward even after being skill-locked?
Li Rui didn’t care about these things; the silence was only five seconds. He closed in on the target, making it difficult for others to act recklessly.
Even without Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, his speed exceeds ordinary people, first finding the Silence Master, ignoring others chasing from behind, he picked up the Vajra Umbrella and began smashing.
Bang!
The opponent had no choice but to use a short-handled battle axe for defense, but one strike was all it took to disarm the weapon as the power gap was too immense.
Li Rui showed no mercy; despite the gusty wind approaching from behind, he continued to punish the fallen enemy.
Even Rossi behind couldn’t believe his eyes.
How could a silenced person even think of killing the Silence Master in the presence of several others?
The most puzzling was not his audacity but the fact that he was actually succeeding.
The Silence Master was under significant pressure, forced to use an escape skill, sliding backward with a forced displacement.
Generally, professions not good at frontal assaults possess numerous life-saving means (except for Prophet).
Li Rui felt a bit regretful; without skills, he truly couldn’t catch up, and now the pursuit behind was upon him, forcing him to turn back with a lateral sweep.
Clang.
The power of these genuine battle professions shouldn’t be underestimated; Li Rui was knocked flying by the massive impact, though the Vajra Umbrella swiftly blocked the weapon’s chop in front.
He ascended, directing himself towards the Silence Master, not hesitating to twist his body forcefully, chasing once more.
"....."
The Silence Master was dumbfounded.
Why such hatred and resentment?
He turned and fled.
Li Rui grinned, finding his escape somewhat amusing.
Other Extraordinary couldn’t allow it to succeed and continued pursuing behind.
This scene didn’t last long, as the silence period ended.
Li Rui regained his normal state, a flash of gold light flickered over him, and he vanished from his original position, causing yet another enemy skill round to miss.
The Silence Master only saw a blur before that Big Black Umbrella carrying a shadow slammed towards him.
So fast, so strong.
Bang!
After dispatching one person, Li Rui turned back and blew out a Great Fire Bell Spell; witnessing this, the group of Extraordinary hurriedly retreated, only to realize the fire was just a diversion, as Li Rui used the chance to gain a side position due to his speed advantage.
Thunder Shocking Earth!
Yin Thunder Blitz!
Big Dayou!
Instantly, the remaining Extraordinary also perished on the spot.
At this time, Ju Ye had already led his subordinates into battle with the enemy; leadership presence makes a significant difference.
Once Li Rui finished dealing with Human Race Extraordinary, he turned towards the Demon Race.
If he were alone, dealing with hundreds of Demons would be difficult, but with allies, that’s not an issue. After a few skills, the enemy forces that could originally contest with Ghost Riders had their morale shattered, and most Highland Demon Race soldiers fled in all directions.
"Don’t chase."
Li Rui halted all Ghost Riders.
Initially, due to saving grace, his words carried weight, but this time the influence seemed weaker.
"Liusan is dead!"
"And there’s Zhejue."
Ju Ye sternly stopped the ghost soldiers, telling Li Rui: "Some of our brothers’ souls were scattered by them."
Though they’re ghosts, strictly speaking, they haven’t undergone death because, in Ghost Cave, merely being swept by evil winds causes automatic soul-body separation, so those ambushed and subsequently scattered souls experienced the first true separation.
Li Rui nodded, stepping towards the passionately emotional ghost soldiers.
"Your enemies are false kings; even sending them to ambush you were false kings, killing a few nobodies is futile! Follow me in the charge, penetrate enemy lines, and eradicate the evil prime!"
"Kill!"
The face-rushing sensation was indistinct, either Evil Qi or murderous aura, but the alliance of men and ghosts was ready to bring a minor shock to the main battlefield.
...
Simon no longer resembled a human.
That’s the thought Guan Gui had internally, not disparaging, but merely descriptive.
This advanced Berserker grew increasingly formidable as the battle raged, with every injury triggering bodily mutations; gradually, the guy became more and more like a grotesque monster, only maintaining a human form, with his body composed of terrifying muscles and bulging veins.
Due to size growth, his dual-handed sledgehammer became a single-handed hammer, almost like a mallet.
Although ugly, he was excessively strong.
To date, his primary attack method was slashing, yet he employed numerous state skills centered around boosting his own power and speed. Under these skills’ enhancements, each hammer swing possessed mountain-splitting stone-cracking power.
The four resurrected beings, all summoned before, were smashed into pulp.
And what troubled Guan Gui most was, despite having many skills swapping reason for power on him, his thoughts remained unaffected, even growing colder, which was uncharacteristic for a Berserker.
The two had been in a stalemate for long, yet time stood on Simons’ side.
Since the Western Kingdom’s fundamental aim was merely to halt Dragon Country, affording rear troops the time and resources to siege Li Rui; the strategic objective appeared to declare retreat against the opponent but truly involves holding ground.
Guan Gui rarely felt anxiousness, but he now indeed wished to accelerate matters.
Pushed thus, he was compelled to reveal methods previously never shown to living beings.
Hundred Ghosts Rebirth Skill.
Thump thump thump....
Countless coffins rose from beneath, from which numerous resurrected emerged.
Observing them, Simon uttered a muffled laugh through twisted lips, thinking them akin to toys, each individual unimpressive; yet soon, he ceased laughing.
Hundred Ghosts Rebirth was merely the first move, Guan Gui had more means.
Legendary Level skill.
Qi Gathering to Transmute Life and Death Technique.
Whoosh——
A blast of eerie wind swept by, and the newly emerged resurrected transformed into black smoke, converging upon an empty field.
Bang!
A hand stretched from the ground, Guan Gui crawled out from it, intentionally leaving the hidden Half-Earth Escape Space, enveloped by Evil Qi.
By the time he reappeared, his skin turned a pale bluish hue, eyes pitch black, hands became claws, emitting dangerous aura all over.
The essence of this skill was self-refinement, transforming himself into a Corpse King, gathering the aura of a hundred ghosts.
Simon’s body trembled.
"Hehehehe....."
"Great, very great."
He spoke Dragon Country’s language for the first time, "This is what I want to smash."
