My Misfortune Crushed Instances

Li Rui still didn’t know that a certain Divine Son had personally designated him as the protagonist, and he didn’t have time to think about anything else because he was on the charge.

This time, he didn’t let the Heavenly Power Ghost Riders charge by themselves, but led the way himself, running at the forefront.

Although he didn’t have a Ghost Spirit Warhorse, enveloped in Divine Thunder, he wasn’t any slower than the Ghost Riders.

At this moment, the Western Kingdom camp below the mountain pass hadn’t realized what was about to happen. No matter what, they couldn’t imagine that the fugitive, who according to logic should be being pursued, would actively charge toward this camp.

This place was originally garrisoned by a total of two thousand from the Human and Demon Races, a heavily defended area, but due to the Dragon Country’s response being more intense than expected, most of the Human Race extraordinaries were withdrawn for emergency aid, leaving only three hundred Demons.

They didn’t focus much on guarding the pass, most were merely chatting, speculating about the situation on the Grainwater battlefield.

So when the earth trembled, the sentry looked up and saw the ominous Evil Qi of the Ghost Riders already charging within visible range.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemy attack!!"

He used a horn made by the Demon Race to start summoning everyone in the camp.

But the Ghost Riders’ speed was too fast, almost on par with Li Rui, who had activated the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture. There wasn’t enough time to prepare.

Boom—

The camp gate was shattered by the Nether Fire burning beneath the hooves.

"Kill!!"

The roars of the Ghost Riders made the defending army’s hearts and minds shatter, just one charge and they were routed.

Whoosh—

Li Rui’s Great Fire Bell Spell turned a large swath of Demon Race into ashes, and the defenders’ morale completely collapsed.

The Western Kingdom extraordinaries stationed here weren’t particularly powerful. Among the regular, caution, dangerous, and high-danger levels, most were just regular, with a few at the caution level, only the one in charge was rated as dangerous.

This dangerous rank was an iron knight advanced from a warrior, and he would never back down. As the officer in charge of this pass, if he abandoned his post, a large amount of merit would be deducted, essentially meaning he could forget about any rewards in this Secret Realm battlefield.

Driven by the desire to avoid punishment and to achieve great merit, he made a mistake he would never forget in his life, charging head-on against Li Rui.

Clang!

As he charged, a layer of silver light enveloped him, forming heavy plate armor. His one-handed sword transformed into a two-handed greatsword, each stride causing the earth to tremble.

One Demon Race being caught in his path, though merely brushed aside, was instantly swept away, muscles torn and bones broken.

Yet this didn’t slow down the iron knight’s speed; he ran faster and faster, closing in on the Foggy Evil Ghost from the rumors.

Seeing someone charging directly towards him, Li Rui naturally felt elated. He activated only two skills.

The Legendary Level Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, and the Epic Level Iron Cavalry Charge.

If anything, there was also a passive state, a 30% enhancement from Battle Scarred.

Boom!!

Li Rui didn’t use Thunder Shocking Earth, just a simple Flying Dragon Face Smash.

The two sides were utterly incomparable, like a speeding truck crashing into a dog.

The iron knight fell completely behind from the front, blasted backward, and was torn apart by the following Heavenly Power Ghost Riders.

From the beginning of the battle to the end, it only took a few minutes.

By the time the behemoth led by the Field Clan caught up, the pass was no longer in existence, with only a few Demons fleeing backward.

"Since we’ve started, we can’t stop. From now on, speed is everything, advance eastward."

"Yes!" Nearly a hundred Ghost Riders thundered in unison to obey.

Ju Ye felt a moment of dizziness; this swift and resolute momentum of breaking through and taking cities was quite reminiscent of charging alongside the former king.

Breaking through an unknown mountain pass, Li Rui led the team east to the next node, which was also a Demon Race town, with similarly few defenders, as it wasn’t a critical location.

At Li Rui’s command, they resumed the charge.

This time, the assassins of the Field Clan also joined the battle, their goal being to assassinate the leaders amidst the chaos.

After another fierce fight, the enemy army was defeated, and once again Li Rui gave no pursuit order, instead leading the team into the distance.

He couldn’t afford to give the enemy time to communicate; he had to break through the defenses at lightning speed. As long as they reached the rice and water area, they would be safe.

However, things wouldn’t always go smoothly.

For reasons unknown, the Western Kingdom still managed to get intel about his breakout attempt.

Despite Li Rui’s efforts to avoid all avoidable defense points, they were still intercepted by a regular army.

Seeing the Highland Demon Race flag opposite, Ju Ye’s Evil Qi surged wildly.

"Do you know them?" Li Rui sensed his abnormality.

"Benefactor, there are twelve heavy armored cavalry divisions on the highland, and the ones ahead are the Crown Power, Brave Power, and Gangli divisions."

"How do they compare to you?"

"The former king ranked the twelve divisions into four grades, my Divine Power Division being the first and only class, these three are all second-class."

Li Rui grinned: "Leave these three divisions to you, no problem?"

Ju Ye’s eyes burned with Ghost Spirit fire: "Subordinate orders!"

Compared to the fierce battle spirit of the Heavenly Power Ghost Riders, the two from the Field Clan were a bit battle-shy.

As a force from the Land of Chaos, they generally didn’t directly conflict with the Three Great Nations. Charging against remnants at the previous two passes was one thing, but now facing obviously more powerful extraordinaries, with even two notable names, they felt deeply uneasy.

Li Rui didn’t offer words of encouragement; he merely said, "Protect Kawina well, if you can’t beat them, hold them back. Let me kill them all, then you can join in."

Saying this, his figure vanished from sight.

Rossi and Vince took a few seconds to understand what he meant, and before they could be shocked, they saw a figure leap down from the Great Strength Warrior.

"Charge with me!"

Kawina wielded a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, heading straight for the Demons surrounding from another direction.

So-called protection and delay didn’t mean staying idle in the rear; on such a chaotic battlefield, if you don’t kill, you’ll be killed.

The two assassins didn’t have time to hesitate and, alongside the Giant Ape, joined the battle.

Even Yuan Erliang wasn’t idle; he’d collected numerous Demon Race daggers and daggers along the way, standing in the frame, hurling hidden weapons with all his might, although not very effective, it was at least the thought that counts.

When Li Rui arrived at the front lines, several cavalry units had already begun mutual slaughter, and in front of him, a couple of dozen Secret Realm agents from the Western Kingdom had surrounded him.

"Foggy Evil Ghost, right?"

The leader, a short-haired young man, spoke up, "The front line is fiercely fighting, let’s not join the fray, how about playing here a bit?"

Li Rui gently shook his head: "I have no time to play with you, come at me all together, I’m in a hurry."

He tossed a handful of pills into his mouth, first maxing out his state with a rare consumable, then activated Mist Flow Control.
