My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 179: Backstab Zuo Qiutian!

The selection in the martial arts field is still ongoing.

Kong Ji had already arrived and was introduced to Guan Gui and Cheng Mingyue by Dong Sanchuan.

Despite being a generation older than the three, he shamelessly mixed with these young people. After all, he didn't need to be selected, not because of skill compatibility, but because his individual strength was strong enough.

The four of them watched the battles together, learning from others' combat techniques, which was a hidden strength beyond the panel.

"The fights are quite good, our batch is very strong."

Among the four, Kong Ji talked the most. He had been chattering nonstop for half an hour, "But we can't be careless, the Western Kingdom and the Polar Alliance also have very strong young generations emerging....."

Vrrr, vrrr, vrrr.

The vibrating phone interrupted his lofty discussion. He picked it up and immediately became serious.

He Pengxi called personally, it must be something important.

"Hello, brother, what's up?"

"There are now ten Black Stars in Peach Blossom Spring."

"Oh, hahaha, did that kid unleash all the monsters again? Typical..... huh?! Isn't Peach Blossom Spring a five-star Secret Realm? Where did ten Black Stars come from?"

He Pengxi didn't respond, implying that such nonsense shouldn't be uttered.

The three people beside him secretly focused their attention, but merely listening to his side of the conversation, they couldn't fully grasp the situation.

After all, they were geniuses but still within the realm of normal people, with only Guan Gui slightly leaning towards the monstrous side.

They couldn't imagine how a five-star Secret Realm could mysteriously turn into a ten-star during the course clearance, only feeling that they hadn't correctly understood the situation.

Kong Ji swallowed his saliva: "This isn't right, there must be a World NPC invasion."

"There is, Zuo Qiutian. Li Rui was worried that Hea Yang might get into trouble, so he kicked him out, and now he's awake."

"What about Li Rui himself?"

"He's still inside."

"Is he going to face Zuo Qiutian alone?!"

Kong Ji almost screamed, "He's crazy! This kid is absolutely crazy!"

Even if they couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, Dong Sanchuan and the others understood.

Whenever the name Zuo Qiutian appeared, it would undoubtedly garner extremely intense attention.

When Kong Ji put down the phone, he was met with three pairs of inquisitive eyes.

"Brother Kong, what does it mean to face Zuo Qiutian alone?"

Kong Ji was also dumbfounded: "It means, just as it says."

All four of them fell into silence.

....

"Brother Zuo, don't you remember me?"

Li Rui walked towards Zuo Qiutian, making smacking sounds with his lips.

The latter silently took two steps back: "Who exactly are you?"

Li Rui said in a feigned whisper, "Brother Zuo, we met in the Silent Forest."

"You are from beyond the heavens."

The clone Zuo Qiutian said ambiguously.

"Yes, weren't you plotting...."

Li Rui "cautiously" glanced at the treant elders not far behind, who were filled with suspicion, "Plotting that matter, I agreed with your idea, so I joined."

He didn't know what was being plotted, but the main body of the other party had once revealed that he had plans and goals.

Zuo Qiutian wasn't a Forest Spirit and wouldn't easily believe others' words, but he thought that since the other party knew about the Silent Forest and was from beyond the heavens, it was possible that his main body had attempted to win him over.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "I believe you, but to be safe, I need to check for any Netherworld Blood Gu on you, please forgive me, my wise brother."

"Brother Zuo, you might not know, there is no Netherworld Blood Gu on me because I need to infiltrate Shenxiao Palace, and carrying such a thing would get me discovered."

Li Rui smiled friendly, as if reminiscing with an old friend about past events.

However, both of them were pretending, one didn't believe at all, and the other knew he wouldn't believe, yet forced himself to act.

Zuo Qiutian certainly wasn't deceived by such an excuse and was about to question further when several treant elders began to exert force.

"Daoist! Pah! Scoundrel! How dare you deceive us!"

"You claim to be a Daoist of Shenxiao Palace! What an insult to that name!"

"What are you trying to do!"

If someone else had said that, Li Rui would have suspected it was a show for Zuo Qiutian, however, based on his knowledge of these Forest Spirits, the few old fellows truly thought he was an infiltrator.

There's no choice, Forest Spirit is too gullible; in reality, it's the type to get scammed by Qin Shihuang's text messages.

However, at this moment, they did help a lot. Li Rui didn't want to recklessly approach within five steps of Zuo Qiutian, and it's even less possible to let him check if there's any Blood Gu on him.

If there wasn't this interruption, he might have taken the initiative to attack earlier.

Upon hearing their doubts, Zuo Qiutian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Are you really one of Shenxiao Palace?"

"Hey, can't fool you, right? I know Chongxu and Zhenyue. They even taught me the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, barely making me a registered disciple. So you let me go undercover in Shenxiao Palace to gather intel."

Li Rui said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're a puppet or an avatar, right? Can't contact your main body? If there's a way, a question would make it clear."

He knew the other party must not have a way, otherwise they would have done so long ago.

Zuo Qiutian remained silent, seemingly in thought.

"What evidence do you have?"

Li Rui cheerfully took out Zhenyue's token.

"You can look but not touch, this has his Divine Thought on it, if you contact it, you'll be found out."

Zuo Qiutian's extended hand withdrew, secretly thinking that Shenxiao Palace has indeed devised new means.

Seeing this object, his thoughts began to waver, just as when he first saw Chongxu's token in Silent Forest.

For someone of his level, a glance reveals the authenticity of the item, and even the original Zuo Qiutian would feel a headache meeting Shenxiao's Four Disciples; unless gifted by the party, obtaining this item is nearly impossible.

And someone who can go undercover in Shenxiao Palace is of high value. If killed rashly and the main body finds out he's genuinely one of ours, it would be embarrassing.

Li Rui saw his hesitation and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, presenting another ironclad evidence, a blood mist bomb.

Which righteous person would possess such an evil object?

He said, "Moreover, I also know you placed Sun Qian in Cloud Temple and revived the Demon King in Silent Forest, but unfortunately, it failed over there."

"What?"

Zuo Qiutian couldn't hold back, "Silent Forest failed?"

Li Rui was even more sure that this avatar must have been placed by Zuo Qiutian before going to Silent Forest. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Exactly, at that time Zhenyue and Wei Xun from Liangting's Demon Suppression Bureau arrived, disrupting the plan. My strength is weak, couldn't stop them, just pretended to be with them to secretly delay and help you escape."

Zuo Qiutian's eyes flickered, what he said was getting more and more believable.

"Then why did you come here?"

"To stop what you're doing here; this is Shenxiao Palace's trap!" Li Rui repeated his trick, knowing this guy fears Shenxiao Palace the most.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zuo Qiutian didn't feel sleepy.

"I don't know why either, anyway, I overheard Chongxu and Zhenyue talking, they said 'just wait until the person surnamed Zuo succeeds in Peach Blossom Spring, then we can act, and when that time comes, it won't matter where he hides.'"

Li Rui spoke with great conviction, meanwhile secretly assessing the sensed crisis and searching for the opponent's flaws.

He knows that to deceive this person into directly canceling the plan is unlikely, after all, he has no evidence, can at most delay.

But Peach Blossom Spring is secluded, there won't be strong reinforcements this time, so a fight is inevitable.

The good news is this Zuo Qiutian isn't the real body, considering the crisis felt from himself, he can fight, but it's challenging.

Therefore, his plan is to find a way to sneak attack, weaken the opponent first, then fight.

However, Zuo Qiutian isn't easy to deal with, from just now until now, although it seems he's believed quite a bit, he hasn't relaxed completely.

"Forget it, regardless of whether what you said is true, since the Array is broken, no Spirit Monster here can stay, let's kill them first."

Li Rui was about to nod immediately but suddenly felt something was wrong; this was a test, he promptly said, "That couldn't be… we're supposed to unravel Heavenly Dao, wantonly slaughtering living beings goes against our principles."

A true outsider would never directly agree to go along, there'd at least be some objection.

Additionally, this sentence has a gambling aspect; the main body of Zuo Qiutian once said in Silent Forest, he could discern outsiders because he saw through a trace of Heavenly Dao, so he daringly guessed.

If this gambling statement is correct, then the other party should relax more, perhaps an opportunity to strike could be found.

However…

"Ha, you still spoke incorrectly."

Zuo Qiutian's hands turned blood red, already in attack posture.

"Heavenly Dao is unjust, all beings suffer, not only will I unravel it, I'll suppress the vile heavens forever!"

He walked past Li Rui, turning his back to approach a group of Tree Spirit elders, "But you outsiders are always stubborn, if you don't want to act, I'll do it myself."

Li Rui may not have fully guessed his ideology, but it's apparent he gained the trust of this avatar.

Perhaps he merely thought this young man couldn't understand his will, yet the arrow pointed at Heavenly Dao indicates his main body deeply conversed with him.

At this moment, Li Rui didn't care how absurd this ideology was since he was letting Divine Thunder infiltrate his Diamond Umbrella, as he faced the boss turning his back, he launched Thunder Shocking Earth.

Boom!!!
