My Misfortune Crushed Instances

"Listen to me, Sister Yue, the situation is a bit serious. The enemy here is exceptionally strong, we can’t overpower them."

Li Rui looked at the armory below and lowered his voice, saying, "We have to find a way to sneak in, and then get the stuff."

Cheng Mingyue knew this place was strange, but she didn’t expect it to be this bad.

Originally, she thought with Li Rui’s ability, plus her own assistance, they could crush their way in, get the loot, and leave without much problem.

But Li Rui is also uncertain now; he’s unsure of the real level of those Divine Generals ahead. If they’re as formidable as those encountered during advancement, then it’s extremely dangerous.

But now there’s no way out, and they can’t avoid the danger.

"Let’s maneuver through this side."

Li Rui led the way to the other side; at least they couldn’t approach from the front of the armory, they would be discovered by the guards at the entrance before getting close.

"Wait."

Cheng Mingyue stopped him and put a buff on both of them.

[Stealth Fall: Significantly reduces presence, reduces damage dealt by 40%.]

"If a fight breaks out, I’ll use a dispersal skill to remove this state," she said.

Li Rui felt this woman was indeed versatile, as if she could play a role in any situation.

With the cover of this buff, their margin for error was now higher.

The two of them fumbled down from the hillside, trying not to make any noise, until they reached the tall wall on the side.

"Hey, look."

Cheng Mingyue tapped Li Rui’s shoulder and pointed behind, speaking softly.

He turned around, only to see that the cliff and greenery they had descended earlier disappeared completely; in its place was a misty cloud, as if they were in the clouds high above.

He frowned.

As expected, this place was the same as Celestial Street, lacking surrounding mountains and rivers; if the environment inside the entrance was like this, they should have been discovered long ago. Instead, the mountains and greenery helped them evade the guards’ eyes.

Li Rui couldn’t help but recall during advancement, some mysterious force also concealed his presence, preventing him from being easily discovered.

It’s as if something higher than those Divine Generals is aiding him.

He didn’t dwell on it further; this wasn’t a good place, matters to ponder could be saved for later.

"Let me go up first. Once I confirm it’s safe, you follow."

He instructed and leaped onto the tall wall.

The good news was, the inside of the armory was different from Celestial Street’s Thunder City; it was just a warehouse, unexpectedly lightly guarded, aside from the guards at the entrance, there wasn’t anyone else in sight.

Li Rui turned his head, gestured for Cheng Mingyue to come up, and the two flipped into the large courtyard.

Among them were more than a dozen storerooms, each tightly closed, with seals on the outside.

[Thunder Division Decree: Seal.]

"Thunder...?!"

Cheng Mingyue almost exclaimed aloud at the sight of these words, but fortunately, Li Rui covered her mouth.

"Keep~ it~ down~."

He whispered in her ear.

She nodded, pointed toward the main entrance with her eyes, and said in an extremely low voice, "Did you know from outside?"

Li Rui nodded silently, "We’ll talk outside, stay close to me."

For Li Rui, who had been to Celestial Street Thunder City whether in reality or dream, he was very familiar with this style of architecture and knew well the "creatures’" methods here.

Originally when stealing the Divine Fire General’s nameplate, if he hesitated even a bit, he would have been obliterated.

Inside, the Divine Generals, even the weakest are at the world NPC level, at least above level 60.

Though he now possessed the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell, a somewhat unreasonable technique, outside there were still two guards, perhaps he could put up a hard fight but winning would be unlikely.

Anyway, the best scenario was still to find what they were looking for without alarming the guards.

The two stealthily ran to the nearest warehouse, hoping to slip in by pushing the door slightly open, but as they exerted force they found it wouldn’t move at all.

Although the door was large for them, they were both extraordinary; if it were a normal door, they could even carry it and run, there’s no reason it wouldn’t move.

Obviously, the Thunder Division Decree on the door was not mere decoration; it indeed contained powerful strength.

"I’ll try to peel it off; if there’s a noise, we’ll hide behind that step."

Li Rui prepared a retreat in advance, let Cheng Mingyue hide away, then used the riding wind ability to float up to the level of the seal.

This golden, shining yellow paper was over a person tall, vertically placed on the door crack.

Li Rui grabbed the lower end of the seal, just about to exert force when a flow of light flashed across the paper.

Bang!

A golden thunder burst open, sending excruciating pain through his arms, turning them bloody and mangled; if not for his quick reflexes and speed, his hands might have been chopped off on the spot.

But at that moment, he couldn’t care less about the injury, instantaneously using Thunderbolt Flash to vanish, teleporting to the pre-set hiding spot.

Meanwhile, a guard suddenly appeared at the door, glancing around somewhat puzzled.

"What’s going on?"

Another voice called from the door.

The guard inspecting didn’t speak, just checked the seal and found no damage.

"Maybe it’s a false alarm." He said while staring at the seal, shook his head, and walked back toward the door.

After a while, making sure the guard had indeed left, Li Rui began healing his arm injuries with Reviving Peach Mist.

Cheng Mingyue was initially worried, but couldn’t speak earlier; now seeing the injuries on his hands visibly recovering, she finally relaxed.

"Could this really be the legendary Upper Realm?"

Li Rui glared at him with annoyance, speaking softly, "Did you think it was fake?"

"I thought it was just a projection. Now this is bad, the door won’t open, those two guards are ridiculously strong, how do we escape?"

Cheng Mingyue was still in shock, but she knew now wasn’t the time to be stunned.

"Don’t worry, there must be a solution. Let’s investigate other areas first."

Li Rui’s mindset was very calm; he had faced numerous Thunder Division Divine Generals before, only two guards here meant much less pressure.

After healing his hand injuries, the two began sneaking off in other directions.

All the storerooms here were similar, with golden seals neatly arranged on the doors around.

The two guards seemed quite assured of the vicinity, not very alert, so with Cheng Mingyue’s stealth skill, the two were not discovered.

The only issue was, without tearing off the seals, they couldn’t penetrate inside, not yielding anything.

"What to do?"

"...Tear down the wall?"

"Too noisy."

"Plus, judging by its materials, these things don’t seem ordinary; may not break easily."

They muttered as they stood quietly in front of the largest warehouse.

"So what do we do?"

Just as they were at a loss, a shadow suddenly drifted past, alerting them to look up—only to see the seal on the warehouse door slowly flutter down, landing on the ground.
