Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Only One Strike Was Used
Li Rui didn’t know what the Exorcism Institute was, but now he had no ti to hesitate. Before the move, he activated the never-ending, continually regenerative, earth block, poison barrier, and Blood Soul Ring.
Anyway, he used all the enhancing states.
The All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell was just a gauge of strength. When he felt he had the chance to strike instantly, he had to put everything on the line.
At that mont, the black mist had already shrouded between the two sides. Li Rui activated Blood Eye, still able to accurately pinpoint his target. In a flash, he was ready, casting the Reverse Yin and Yang All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell in this state.
However, this ti, sothing different unfolded.
The air did not beco scorching from the powerful spell; instead, it turned extrely cold.
At the sa ti, what appeared in mid-air was not crimson and gold intersecting thunder, but a chilling frost and Evil Qi.
The Cave Profound Yin Yang Umbrella, embedded with Great Demon Black Law, changed the state of the Thunder Fire, leading them to another extre.
The Divine Thunder specifically expelled Yin Sha, transforming into rolling Evil Qi, surpassing even Ghost City and Mire Marsh. The Community Thunder, which killed innurable beings, instead beca a frigid storm.
Even Vons’ Ice Storm couldn’t compare to the cold within, and Guan Gui’s gathered Evil Qi couldn’t reach its level.
anwhile, Cheng Mingyue was shocked by the terrifying montum but didn’t stop her actions. She cast a control skill, invisible shackles binding two Divine Generals.
The two joined forces instantly.
The Reverse Yin and Yang All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell descended, charging into the dark poison fog.
Just when Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue thought things were about to succeed, they heard a crisp sound. One of the Divine Generals unexpectedly broke free from the shackle with brute strength, instantly rushing out of the poison fog.
The mist scorched his skin, but it wasn’t fatal.
But the remaining Divine General was different. He could only watch as the Evil Qi slamd down, covering him.
"Aow——"
Amidst the tragic roar was the sound of tal striking, as if it wasn’t a living creature, but a huge machine.
However, the soul-stirring roar stopped abruptly, and under the wash of the cold Evil Qi, he turned invisible, dissipating in the poison fog.
Both Cheng Mingyue and Li Rui felt a bit excited. They joined forces to slay an Upper Realm Divine General comparable to a world NPC, and they were both under level 50, unheard of for such a feat.
This level of Extraordinary, even in killing world NPCs, typically relies on a large team to expend, but just two people was too exaggerated.
anwhile, the remaining Divine General was more bewildered. He no longer displayed the arrogance he had before, instead showing fear, his body starting to transform into a beam of light as he tried to use the Escape Technique to flee.
Li Rui sneered, directly reverting to full state nine seconds prior, and the second Reverse Yin and Yang All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell landed.
Cheng Mingyue didn’t have the ability to reverse ti, unable to cast two major moves consecutively within a short period, so she resorted to using space barriers to obstruct. However, her own strength was far from the world NPC level, so the transparent barrier was instantly broken.
At this mont, Li Rui’s skill descended, narrowly missed by half a body length, just grazing his eye.
The Divine General, originally turning into a stream of light, visibly faltered, his Escape Technique canceled, revealing his figure, half an arm missing, but he swiftly used so thod, shaking a silver bell in his hand to escape again.
"Chase!"
Cheng Mingyue shouted and was about to follow when Li Rui pulled her back.
"Chase him, I have no skills left."
Li Rui said irritatedly, "While he’s running, quickly find the door."
He didn’t hesitate at all; if that Divine General escaped, he would certainly call for reinforcents.
Even at the lowest level of warriors, the two of them could barely handle them together, but if so of those with divine duties from Thunder Division in Thunder City arrived, the current duo would surely et a dead end.
The good news was that after the escaping Divine General was completely distant, Li Rui saw a small door appear on the clearing at the arsenal entrance, pulling Cheng Mingyue through swiftly. The arsenal might contain more treasures, but he couldn’t concern himself with that now; survival was paramount.
Bam!
After entering, Li Rui quickly grabbed the door and slamd it shut. The good news was it rged with the wall, disappearing, seemingly cutting off the path.
"Mommy, such a reward, anyone else coming in wouldn’t possibly survive to claim it."
"Fortunately, there were only two guards."
The two leaned against each other, slumping to the ground along the wall base, only feeling the fatigue from excessive spellcasting once the danger was completely gone.
.....
In the northern part of Zhangye State, the alliance between the Western Kingdom and the Polar Alliance was fully established.
Due to the weakness of the Western Kingdom, Ulysses had to sign an "unequal treaty," promising to cede most benefits after defeating the Dragon Country. Although also losing out, it was still better than not forming an alliance.
Now he wasn’t only considering from a public standpoint but also his own.
Simon had already died before the final showdown, expelled from the Secret Realm. Considering the Western Anomaly Bureau’s emphasis on the young man, Ulysses was bound to be penalized, at least be disliked by superiors.
However, if he could possibly recover so losses, then perhaps the outco could be slightly better.
When the two sides allied together, their power had grown considerably larger than before. Although half of the Wind Slave Royal Court’s remnants had dispersed, so remained, combining to likely reclaim so territory from the Dragon Country.
The plan and reality were not far apart; when they began their northern expedition, the front lines changed rapidly. On the first day, the Dragon Country retreated dozens of miles.
Just as Ulysses and Archbishop Leslie were celebrating, scouts reported bad news.
"Commander! Your Grace Bishop, the Dragon Country people are too cunning, nearly all the spoils from the places they gave up have been carried away."
Upon hearing this news, Ulysses curled his lip, and Leslie also felt a bit disgruntled, but neither was surprised.
"Cheng Wen is no fool; he would definitely do this."
The Archbishop rubbed his two hands together in thought, a habit when thinking. "No matter, we’ll continue to compress their space tomorrow. Based on ti, they could only manage to develop these spoils; we will have the gain."
Ulysses was about to speak when he saw another Polar Alliance mber burst in from outside.
"Your Grace Bishop! Gods above, sothing big has happened!"
Leslie frowned, "When delivering ill news, do not invoke the na of the gods."
"I, sorry, but the situation is really, too bad."
Upon hearing their conversation, Ulysses showed no emotion, yet felt a bit pleased. He wanted to hear what trouble had befallen the Polar Alliance; if their forces weaken, his leverage would be higher.
Leslie felt sowhat displeased, silently reproaching him for showing such panic in front of outsiders.
"Speak, what exactly happened."
The man said, "A formidable Dragon Country person ca up from the south, killed Hopkins."
Originally still gleeful, Ulysses nearly slamd his fist on the table.
Why the hell are you reporting my losses and finding Leslie for it?!
No way around it; that was a mber of the Polar Alliance.
Leslie’s mood improved considerably, still speaking calmly, "Seems like our old friend Cheng Wen is up to tricks again. Was it the Foggy Evil Ghost responsible?"
If the deceased were from the Western Kingdom, he wouldn’t mind.
"No, sir, it was soone unknown, wielding two short knives."
Enraged, Ulysses grabbed his collar and asked, "What person from the Dragon Country has he used what skill?"
"Un, unknown."
The communicator looked to his grace, the Bishop, who helped pull Ulysses off, "What does unknown an?"
The communicator said, "Just, he killed Hopkins with rely one slash."
Leslie and Hopkins exchanged a glance, neither speaking a word.
