My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 210: Killed in Three Moves

With a buff, Li Rui felt his combat strength had risen a notch.

He dragged the Vajra Umbrella straight towards King Zhi, quickly accelerating under the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture and various buffs. He reached the boss immediately, closing the gap between them to mere meters—already in melee range.

Seeing the situation, various thoughts surfaced in the minds of the other Secret Realm agents.

King Zhi was fierce and bloodthirsty, known for his strength, his long blade delivering high-level shock, making the earth tremble with each slash.

In short, anyone with a normal mind would not fight this kind of boss head-on.

Yet Li Rui stood before the towering shadow, two yards high, and though humans seemed insignificant compared to such monsters, he appeared fearless.

Bzz—

Thunder Shocking Earth was ready.

Seeing someone challenge him head-on, King Zhi was not afraid; he was even excited.

When his blade swung down, few people wouldn't be instantly shattered to death. He reveled in the sight of foes being split in half, then torn into pieces by the residual power.

With their differing emotions, the moves of both sides collided.

BOOM!!!

The earth shook, cracks spreading beneath their feet, thunder surged from the Vajra Umbrella, while blood light soared from the blade edge.

Li Bailang, closest to the collision, realized that neither side suffered any damage from the clash. Yet, he was utterly shocked, pausing instinctively.

Because no injuries meant Li Rui could evenly confront this boss directly.

In a ten-star Secret Realm at the corresponding level, fighting a boss to a draw was shocking enough.

What surprised Li Bailang even more was the Rain Summoner didn't intend to retreat after clashing head-on.

At this moment, Li Rui felt dissatisfied with himself.

He thought with An Qing's support, he could suppress the opponent with this move, but it turned out to be a draw.

Thus, he struck with the Thunderbolt Palm, exchanging attacks with King Zhi's sneak attack using his other hand, then unleashed Thunder Shocking Earth again.

King Zhi now understood this human was different from others he had encountered.

"Is he from the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

He even became somewhat nervous.

The Frontier Army of Liangting posed little threat to him, but the experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau were another story entirely.

Then he thought if they were true experts, they wouldn't bother inciting rebellion but would simply massacre everyone, putting his mind somewhat at ease as he released the second blood light shock blade.

BOOM!!!!

This time, the clash was even more formidable, drawing not only the attention of the constantly observing Secret Realm agents but the entire battlefield.

They saw golden lightning entwined with blood light, the ground growing more fragmented, and what terrified them most was King Zhi staggering backward.

The boss, previously dismissing Li Rui, was now frightened.

He noticed the second attack showed the opponent growing stronger than before, significantly.

But as he worried and feared, the third Thunder Shocking Earth struck.

More?!

King Zhi, unable to escape, had no choice but to grit his teeth, channeling demonic power through his entire body, toughening his fur, as he slashed the third blade.

Everyone was too late to glance at the ground blasted into a pit, instinctively ignoring the deafening roar.

Their focus was entirely on King Zhi.

This once-arrogant lord of the Ancient Forest clashed with the opponent three times, then fell backwards without a single cry.

He was killed outright by three strikes.

Li Rui put away the Vajra Umbrella, feeling somewhat unfulfilled.

Compared to before, his mental attributes had improved markedly. Now, with three Thunder Shocking Earth strikes, his physical strength and spiritual power consumption was just over half, meaning the battered gains were only at 50%.

However, that Pig Demon possessed some skills, the blood light on the blade had an annihilation attribute, the first two clashes, Divine Thunder failed to act, but the third time, lightning broke through the blood light.

With high-level shock control, physical attack fusion skills, and fiery elemental amplification, King Zhi transformed into a meticulously roasted wild boar.

[Main Mission Updated: Zhi Er is dead, settling rewards...]

[Level Up!]

Now, leveling up required over 300,000 to nearly 400,000 experience points. Previously, completing optional tasks in the Ancient Forest meant he was only 10% away from leveling up.

The stage settlement of the main mission directly propelled him to 31.

Li Rui was quite satisfied with this progress. While the subsequent stages had no optional tasks, they could involve random events.

As he cheerfully prepared to step over King Zhi to the next area, he suddenly noticed an awkwardness on other parts of the battlefield, especially among the personal elite guards.

We just started fighting, and the boss is dead, what do we do now?

Li Rui forcefully slammed the Vajra Umbrella onto the ground, fiercely shouting at the elite guards: "Drop your weapons and surrender, or face merciless killing!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Under the fierce intimidation, the guards relying on King Zhi wilted, clattering their weapons onto the ground, then froze in bewilderment.

Li Rui called Yue Ni over, instructing him to comfort and absorb his colleagues, indicating past grievances were forgiven, preventing trouble later.

At this moment, Li Bailang was completely confused.

The Vajra Umbrella was indeed the Rain Summoner's common weapon, but the combat performance just witnessed puzzled him completely.

No way this could be the Rain Summoner, right?

Not just him, even Wu Bing hadn't anticipated Li Rui to be this fierce.

"Worthy of the strength to participate in the Secret Realm battlefield," he secretly thought to himself.

After a few gathered, preparing to discuss the next steps, they saw the soldiers approaching.

"You warriors truly possess extraordinary skills, pardon my previous offense."

At this moment, the officer's mindset had changed. Initially thinking the general spent heavily to hire them, requiring usefulness or he wouldn't agree to pay.

However, now he simply wondered, "How much favor did the general employ to hire such formidable people for so little money?"

Of course, for Li Rui, monetary rewards were frivolous; true rewards came from the Secret Realm system.

"Sir, shall we proceed deeper?"

"Ah, I wouldn't dare, my lord, my surname is Hu, you may call me Chengshan." The officer dared not play tough in front of him, obediently stating his name.

"Oh, Chengshan, shall we go?"

"Uh, then let's go, shall we?"

Hu Chengshan gestured invitingly.

Just then, new prompts appeared.
