My Misfortune Crushed Instances

Flames ravaged the military formation of the Demon Race in the Royal Court.

Li Rui came to help Ju Ye avenge their old grudges; he did not directly rush in to use the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell or even the more powerful All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell to try to instantly kill all living things around the royal banner.

Revenge naturally requires the personal dispatch of the enemy.

As an ally, what Li Rui needed to do was help them carve a path, as he possessed a powerful weapon against the Demon Race, Community Thunder.

He only needed to use the Great Fire Bell Spell to significantly repel the surrounding Demon Race, and with this support, the Divine Power Ghost Cavalry charged all the way, quickly breaking through the first line of defense.

Whoosh——

Li Rui unleashed another blaze, forcing back the pursuing demons from behind, and turned his head to see a Demon General stepping forward to block the path.

He was accompanied by a group of more elite shield guards, who were clad in heavy armor and held a shield in each hand, with more intricate inscriptions on them.

"Roar!"

With a synchronized roar, the shields stacked into a wall emitted a red glow, forming a barrier, waiting for Ju Ye to lead his team forward.

The Demon General stood three zhang tall, wielding a beautifully crafted golden bow made of ox sinew, drawing it to a full moon, and shot an arrow from behind the shield wall.

Swoosh——

The light on the arrowhead turned into a line, shooting straight at Ju Ye’s face.

However, this Ghost General was not easy to deal with either; holding a lance, he charged fearlessly forward, the arrowhead clashing with the spear tip, sparking countless tiny sparks.

Crackle-crackle-boom!!!

Ju Ye finally broke through the arrow with the momentum of his charge and then reached the shield guards’ formation.

With another loud crash, the ghost cavalry’s lance connected with the shield, aiming for a life-or-death outcome.

The Demon General flashed to the side, not fully steady, but already drawing his bow to ambush the ghost cavalry from the flank.

But just before him, an outsider suddenly appeared.

Li Rui’s Thunderbolt Flash left no trace, with strands of Golden Thunder entangling around him in an instant, sticking to the Demon General.

At the same time, the Thunder Shocking Earth from the Vajra Umbrella was already rushing at him.

The combination of instant movement abilities and close combat tends to have terrifying effects.

At this moment, the Demon General experienced such terror, reacting just as the Golden Thunder nearly touched his body; he had just drawn his demon blade to block, but it was too late.

Pfft!

The forceful Thunder Shocking Earth blasted the upper body of the Demon General to fragments, the demon blade spinning up into the air, finally embedding into the ground; and by then, Li Rui’s figure had already vanished from the original place, dashing towards the next formidable demon opponent.

Once the Divine Power Ghost Cavalry started charging, powerful resistance was needed to stop their iron hooves.

However, this force was once the elite of the elite in the Royal Court, and after being enhanced by the Great Demon Black Law, no group could block them.

To obstruct them required mighty and deeply cultivated demons, all of whom Li Rui sought out and killed.

So, amidst the ranks of thousands, this cold Evil Qi swept towards the central royal banner unimpeded.

Puff!

Li Rui pulled out an arrow shot from the shadows, and with an instant movement, appeared beside the demon Assassin who had released it.

Boom!!

Blood Leech entwined the injury, healing it, yet without glancing, he turned and cast another Great Fire Bell Spell, reducing the surrounding demons to ashes.

To Li Rui’s surprise, after the crimson flames dissipated, several demons neither retreated nor died; they incredulously withstood the attribute-countering Great Fire Bell Spell.

Upon closer inspection, they were only two or three li away from the royal banner, and those demons in silver armor ahead were the Personal Guard under the command of King of Suiye, numbering seven in all.

Jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, lions, sheep, reptiles; the differently shaped Personal Guard stood with arms, blocking the path of Li Rui and the ghost cavalry—the last checkpoint before the royal banner.

When Ju Ye’s cavalry caught up and saw these Personal Guards, they could only let out a roar, ready for a desperate fight.

Ten years had passed, and among the seven demon Personal Guards, three were their old acquaintances. Regarding the strength of these demons, Ju Ye knew fully well, lacking complete assurance to break through.

Ahead lay the banner he longed for day and night, the fire of revenge drove him and his ghost soldiers to disregard life and death.

No matter how slim the odds of survival, they must charge.

Yet, Li Rui’s figure flashed, once again dispelling the heaviness in their hearts.

"Let me do it."

His shout shook Ju Ye’s spirit, and he hesitated only for a brief moment before leading his troops in an arc to bypass.

In the midst of a great army, hesitation was not allowed.

Li Rui glimpsed them moving to the other side with his peripheral vision when the seven demon Personal Guards launched their attack.

Wary of the outsider who had been cutting through their defenses all along, they sent four Personal Guards forward, while the other three demons attempted to intercept the bypassing ghost cavalry.

The Royal Court Personal Guard cultivated techniques personally granted by their king, strong as rocks, swift as the wind; the surrounding demons felt a blur before their eyes, already seeing them charging at Li Rui.

But no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t surpass lightning.

Currently, Li Rui possessed Thunderbolt Flash capable of both offense and defense, a combat power no longer on the same level as before.

The four weapons, accompanied by astral wind, missed their target entirely, chopping at the air; only fragmentary Golden Thunder remained in place, while Li Rui had already reached the side of the other three demons.

Thunder Shocking Earth!

The foremost lion demon was greatly alarmed but had no time to react; feeling a tremendous impact, he was smashed into the ground by an umbrella.

Li Rui activated the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, taking another step to continue the pursuit.

Thunder Shocking Earth!

The second sheep demon, already anticipating an ambush, attempted to block with double blades, yet it too was futile.

Boom!!

Another one fell dead.

Just then, the four Personal Guards originally tasked with killing Li Rui had already closed in, reusing the encirclement tactic.

Yet Li Rui’s Thunderbolt Flash was ready again; he vanished once more, leaving the Personal Guards in despair.

Chasing this man was impossible.

More despair awaited the reptile demon, facing Li Rui’s third Thunder Shocking Earth.

"Hiss—"

The reptile flicked its tongue, scales tightly clinging to its flesh, shrinking completely; a single-handed shield raised before it, while the other hand did not slash with a single blade, only backing the shield with its arm.

Having lost any desire for offense, it gave its all to defense.

But it never anticipated that Li Rui’s attack power grew with each exertion, the third Thunder Shocking Earth being far stronger than the previous ones.

Boom!!!

Amidst an explosion that plunged all demons into despair, this Personal Guard also met a grisly end on the spot.

In an instant, the seven strongest demons guarding the royal banner had half of their number slain by the outsider, even with another four Personal Guards in pursuit.

Li Rui ensured that Ju Ye and the ghost cavalry had a clear path to the royal banner, finally able to focus on the remaining Personal Guards.

This time, they dared not attempt the encirclement tactic again, as it couldn’t even touch a single hair of the enemy.

Thus, the four demons formed a formation advance, shoulder to shoulder, faster than before, and crucially, sustainable.

They already discerned that Li Rui’s instant movement ability couldn’t be used continuously, with a cooldown in-between, so ongoing pursuit meant he couldn’t evade.

But they soon realized that this time, the man seemed disinclined to dodge.

Li Rui used flash to sidestep earlier assaults to ensure Ju Ye could continue charging, but now prepared to deal with the remaining four Personal Guards.

He formed hand seals twice, and the searing aura of the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell began to spread.
