My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 176: Ensuring Client Safety

When Li Rui and the elders arrived, they saw nothing but burning huts, gallantly struggling Vine Spirit guards, and ordinary Spirit Monster residents fleeing in panic.

Amidst the flames, a Vine Spirit figure, terrifyingly menacing at the height of two people, was locked in battle with the guards.

Unlike the usual Vine Spirit, the branches and roots on its body and head were blood-red, writhing like exposed veins.

"What is that!"

A few Tree Spirit elders could not believe their eyes.

Li Rui took out the Diamond Umbrella: "It's Vine Number One."

[World event triggered: Fallen Vine Spirit.]

[Objective: Eliminate the Vine Spirit tainted by the Blood-Evil aura.]

[Rewards: Experience +90000, Free attribute points +4, Excellent quality item x1, Random quality enhancement materials x8.]

Hea Yang was already numb. He thought triggering many random events was already rare, but now even a world event had appeared.

Even though he hadn't encountered anything similar before, he could guess that the scholar from earlier was definitely some world NPC.

He was just curious because it seemed like Li Rui knew about this person all along.

Of course, He did not know that Li Rui had dealt with Zuo Qiutian many times and had taken quite a few benefits from him.

"This is a boss-level enemy, be careful when you engage."

Li Rui said.

Huh?

Hea Yang realized the opponent's strength just by looking at the rewards, and although he had already taken out his warhammer, his intention was only self-defense, never to engage.

"Me, going alone?"

"Of course, you alone."

Li Rui said inexplicably, thinking that those Tree Spirit elders didn't need to engage either.

However, he didn't understand that Hea Yang meant: Why don't you do it?

And the opponent didn't understand either, that if Li Rui seriously engaged, the boss might be defeated instantly.

Regardless, Hea Yang roared furiously, activated his rage, and obediently charged forward.

His thought was simple: from the start to the end, Li Rui never tricked him, always allowing him to claim rewards that would have otherwise been out of reach. Now that he was asked to go alone, he did.

Other Tree Spirit elders were about to transform into their original form but were stopped.

Li Rui said: "Gentlemen, it's dangerous here, leave it to us two, you should organize the rescue of the injured and put out the fire."

A few Tree Spirit elders did not hesitate because the Vine Spirit captain investigating had confirmed that the areas disrupted by evil forces had returned to normal, and the two "Daoists" were both good people with extraordinary strength.

As for them, the Forest Spirits, it was indeed daunting to face this boss.

Because as Zuo Qiutian said before, the Spirit Monsters revolve around the Eldest, but the truth is the real awake ones are singular, and here it is the Peach Blossom Lady.

And the other Spirit Monsters were essentially byproducts; rather than being inspired by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, they awakened by following the Peach Blossom Lady.

Therefore, their strength was not strong, and with the Spiritual Qi going astray, they were even weaker.

And that Blood-Evil Vine Spirit received an unknown enhancement from Zuo Qiutian, gaining capabilities far beyond its peers instantly.

Boom!

Nearby, the enraged Hea Yang engaged with the Blood-Evil Vine Spirit and was slapped away.

His basics from the previous Secret Realms were too weak, even at level 24, it was impossible to defeat this boss alone.

But getting thrashed and knowing there was someone backing him up, his rage state only intensified.

"Hah—"

The warhammer emitted a battle cry akin to an army formation, this was his active skill.

The Blood-Evil Vine Spirit's body writhed, the blood-red vines wove into a shield, and again clashed.

This time, at least Hea Yang was not knocked away, but the enemy stood firm as well.

Li Rui, holding his umbrella and standing guard, felt a little like how Wang Ba watched him and Wu Sun spar back then.

If the client encounters danger, he would use the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture to rescue them immediately.

Meanwhile, the elders organizing the evacuation and firefighting of residents were also secretly observing. They hadn't seen Li Rui or the other person in action, naturally curious, but more importantly, since evil creatures appeared in the Sacred Land, as the elders managing Peach Blossom Spring, they were deeply concerned.

However, after watching for a while, the elders felt puzzled.

This person's skill level was not much different from the warriors in their clan, so how did he clear out the evil disturbances in places like Five-Colored Cave?

Hea Yang had exchanged multiple blows with the boss, feeling his blood surging. He realized that continuing against it could break his rage, and he might suffer grave injuries, so he decided to use his last trump card.

He popped a Strength Pill into his mouth, and his aura transformed entirely.

Even the Tree Spirit elders noticed, nodding privately: Surely there's strength here.

"Roar!"

This roar came from Hea Yang's mouth, Berserker rage added with the Strength Pill, making his skin turn red with bulging veins, roaring like a beast.

This was his strongest state.

Boom!

A resounding explosion was heard as the warhammer struck the Blood-Evil Vine Spirit's shield again, but this time, the shield shattered resoundingly.

It's done!

All Forest Spirits who witnessed this believed so.

But Li Rui did not agree; as the strongest being present, he could sense the Blood-Evil Vine Spirit still had a card left to play, it wasn't about reason, but an intuition.

Sure enough, after the vine shield broke, fresh red liquid gushed from the broken branches, known to everyone that it wasn't bleeding from being wounded since the blood floated around the Blood-Evil Vine Spirit like numerous sharp swords.

"Oh wow, the warrior has turned into a Sword Cultivator, unbelievable."

Li Rui was still watching the spectacle, recalling the blood river Zuo Qiutian personally pulled out in the past.

He was relaxed, but Hea Yang was in turmoil, never imagining that his hard-won advantage was simply a setup for the second phase.

How could he win this?

But since Li Rui didn't speak, he didn't plan to retreat, just prepared to muster courage, to face it again, when he heard a sharp whistle. All of the blood swords formed a sword array, charging menacingly at him.

Hea Yang felt a bit dazed. From that blood, he seemed to hear endless wails, an intense resentment within those blood fainting him.

He understood. This evil power-infused liquid was the Blood-Evil Vine Spirit's driving force.

"Uh? Wait, understanding is one thing, but I seem to be done for?"

As he was pondering, the blood swords were already upon him, closing in with such speed and force that evasion and defense were impossible. In a second, he would be pierced through.

"Why isn't anyone saving me, aren't I the client?"

With that thought, he couldn't help but turn his head to look and then saw an increasingly larger shoe sole.

Bam!

Li Rui, using the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, arrived just in time, kicking Hea Yang aside, then turned and executed a Thunder Shocking Earth move.

Sizzle—

The blood swords swiftly dissipated in the golden light, followed by a resounding boom. The Blood-Evil Vine Spirit was hit square in the face by the Big Black Umbrella, and was indisputably finished, with no room for rescue.
