My Misfortune Crushed Instances

Huo Huangzun was somewhat puzzled as to why Li Rui always appeared from unexpected directions.

Though it was strange, the fact was, this time he sprang out from behind again, bringing with him a skill that was hard to comprehend.

Li Rui had seen the scene from afar earlier; from the skillset, it was clear that the person punched into the mountain was Cheng Mingyue, and although he hadn’t seen the other person before, the wild combat style was unmistakable—that was Roger Simon.

He urged forward with a forceful charge, slicing through the battlefield with an imposing aura that everyone distinctly felt.

Then a miraculous scene unfolded: everyone in his path scattered at the first sign, unwilling to approach the lightning that wasn’t aimed at them.

Ulysses was in doubt and surprise; he hadn’t expected that Li Rui, who detoured far and wide, would arrive at the battlefield so quickly. He had set out immediately upon hearing the King of Suiye had been ambushed and had come straight, while Li Rui should have made a large circle around Howling Wind Mountain.

He reached out and grasped; the storm of Dark Blades dispersed within a few hundred meters returned to his hand. These were Legendary Level throwing knives, powerful enough that even Vons could hardly contend with them.

He retracted the knives because an unexpected intrusion had occurred on the battlefield, targeting Simon specifically, and by normal logic, he should go to support him.

However, the problem was the unsought guest came to make things chaotic; Divine Son Vons wouldn’t mind muddying the waters further.

"Roar——"

A deafening roar came from the Ice Storm as it conjured an enormous mouth from countless snow and ice.

Ulysses realized he had no chance to leave, so he dispersed the flying knives once again, transforming them into a swarm of spinning crows to form a formation to block the attack.

Boom!!!

The two storms collided, returning to the previous stalemate equilibrium.

Ulysses was a bit annoyed, while Vons remained relaxed; he didn’t care whether Li Rui or Simon would win, hoping that both would suffer significant injuries.

His gaze shifted sidelong to the approaching other side, where a brilliant mass of golden light was nearing Simon, who also refused to back down, instead stepping forward in a charge.

Running forward, he appeared like a giant with each step causing the ground to crack.

Li Rui’s eyes were locked on him, sensing the terrifying energy within that flesh-and-blood giant, yet he still charged forward without hesitation.

"Aoo!!!"

Simon, in a berserker state, let out a roar that seemed inhumanly possible, raising his fist as all his muscles stretched to the limit before he smashed it down.

Boom!

The ground burst in a large circular pattern from the center outward, as if a giant spider web appeared out of thin air.

A half-second later, a shockwave spread out.

The resplendent golden light vanished, replaced by a haze of smoke and dust.

"Didn’t even fly out, got crushed directly?"

Many halted their battles; the punch just now was terrifying.

The Extraordinary of the Western Kingdom naturally rejoiced; from a distance, it seemed Simon had gained victory. From the start, they knew no one could match that flamboyant young man.

Though they were in the same camp, many of the older veterans secretly resented his ways, but on the battlefield, such a person could indeed lead them to victory—they had no choice but to accept it.

In contrast, people from Dragon Country were apprehensive.

Huo Huangzun’s emotions surged and fluctuated unpredictably.

Clearly, before they could watch as the Western Kingdom and Polar Alliance fought like dogs, but who knew Simon’s sudden emergence would immediately incapacitate Cheng Mingyue. Just as they hoped for a miracle, Li Rui arrived on the battlefield, but in an instant vanished from sight.

If Simon indeed crushed two of our strongest combatants with a punch each, then this battle is over.

However, he harbored some hope; after all, the dust on the battlefield hadn’t cleared, and the result was still unknown.

The momentary downturn was just an instinctive reaction. Two or three seconds later, he regained his composure.

Since Li Rui had previously suppressed Vons, there was no reason he would be instantly annihilated by Simon.

This notion had barely formed when he dismissed it himself.

Li Rui’s suppression of Vons wasn’t just under Cheng Mingyue’s assistance; more crucially, he was using ranged spells at that time, whereas now it’s a melee confrontation.

Everyone knew Simon’s melee combat was unbeatable; even Guan Gui agreed with this conclusion after the last battle.

However, the lull on the battlefield was brief, and with these thoughts occupying a few seconds, the dust began to settle.

Everyone saw two figures standing amidst the fluctuating dust.

One of them was Roger Simon, his fists filled with violent power still maintaining their post-punch posture, but the Big Black Umbrella held against his fist prevented him from breaking through.

Li Rui held off that meteor-like melee physical attack with this Rain Summoner’s weapon.

The two maintained their stances, neither moving.

They had a tacit understanding that any action at this time could become a flaw.

For the onlookers unable to believe their eyes, the most shocked was undoubtedly Ulysses, who understood Simon and couldn’t fathom how anyone could combat that guy to a stalemate using melee tactics.

However, this distraction gave Vons an opening; the Divine Son of the Polar Alliance, originally no match for Ulysses, had received considerable benefits upon entering the Secret Realm battlefield, allowing him to catch up quickly under the command’s guidance.

Now, although he found it rather unbelievable, he seized the opportunity, using the temporary state skill of enhanced frost to swiftly gain the upper hand, completely suppressing Ulysses for the first time.

As they engaged in combat, movement finally began on the other side.

Simon was the first to lose patience, not concerning himself with Ulysses’ precarious situation but focusing on the enemy before him.

More than anyone’s shock, he felt only excitement.

It’s been a long time since anyone could take a direct hit from him; this sensation made him itch with excitement—he enjoyed a durable punching bag.

"Aoo!!"

Once more, Simon emitted an unusual roar, this time without a running start, just another punch from where he stood.

Li Rui noticed something strange in the punch, appearing to carry a primitive aura beyond mere brute strength. He had no choice but to use Thunder Shocking Earth to counter it.

This clash brought yet another surprising result for everyone.

One would have assumed Li Rui could truly confront Simon head-on and hold his ground, but now he failed to withstand the second punch, propelled backward like Cheng Mingyue, crashing out.
