My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 219: To Deal with You, One Person Is Enough

After a fierce battle, the heart of the rebellious army finally relaxed a little.

Although Li Rui didn't seem to gain a significant advantage over Pile Long, he was not overwhelmed either.

With the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture protecting him, his speed was even faster than his opponent's. Every time he was forced to retreat, he could always quickly withdraw to a safe distance without being harmed by the string of beads or Pile Long's abilities.

It seemed that the two sides would be in a stalemate for a long time.

While others didn't notice, Wu Bing, who was watching on the side, was secretly shocked.

Even though he didn't have much combat power himself, he had participated in Secret Realm activities with other agents, and he had never seen anyone with such high bursts and endurance.

Of course, his "shock" was mostly admiration for this intensity; there wasn't much disbelief, as Li Rui's participation in the Secret Realm battles was already a testament to his strength.

At this moment, Li Bailang's attention was not on that side. He believed that since Li Rui took the initiative, he must have had a plan in mind. It was more important to lead the other troops well and prevent the Bear Race lackeys from aiding Pile Long.

He could command the entire army because others knew of his close relationship with Li Rui, so they were willing to listen.

Now, Li Rui was still confronting Pile Long. He hadn't even noticed that the situation on the entire battlefield was just as it was when Wei Xun confronted Pang Manjun at the border of Liangting.

Only now, the protagonist had changed to him.

The area around him and Pile Long seemed like a forbidden zone of life, with no one able to interfere.

"Roar——"

Magical artifacts are external things. As the power within them gradually releases, they are bound to weaken over time.

Pile Long was furious. He initially planned to kill Mountain Lord Lou and defect to Dangkong Mountain, hoping that at least half of the divine powers within the beads would remain. But after fighting against this inexplicable figure from the Human Race, he had already used up more than half. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He used various methods—tigers, leopards, lions, deer, turtles, wolves—but the opponent always had a way to block them.

The surging waves on the black umbrella, the radiance on his body, and the golden thunderbolts constantly allowed him to evade danger.

In fact, there was something Pile Long didn't know.

Li Rui not only neutralized his methods in various ways, but he also hadn't yet used his trump card of "Endless Growth." More importantly, he was quietly observing the string of beads during the battle.

He now confirmed that Pile Long had utilized all his different skull types, with no further hidden tricks.

At this moment, his spiritual power and stamina were sufficiently consumed to finish the battle.

Zi zi.

Li Rui's figure flashed and retreated to the rear, leaving behind a golden afterimage.

An intuition surged in Pile Long's heart. He knew his opponent seemed to be about to unleash something significant.

If the battle had just begun, he might have chased forward, but now knowing the severity, he didn't dare to be reckless. Not only that, but he also focused even more, ready to activate the divine powers within the beads at any moment.

Then he saw that human retreat to the rear, not rushing forward, but instead making a peculiar gesture with his left hand.

At this moment, the air became scorching, and the warning signs in Pile Long's heart began to frantically alert him.

He realized that the momentum of the person in front of him had changed, standing there yet appearing far more imposing than before.

Inexplicably, this Bear Demon King began to feel fear and decided to fight desperately.

Boom Boom Boom!

Three skulls were simultaneously wrapped in blue flame; he had to exert all his divine powers fully.

Their preliminary actions caused changes in the surrounding spiritual qi, and a strong wind began to sweep through the area of their confrontation.

Wooo——

Dirt and sand were swept into the nearby warring formations; some had their eyes squinted, others looked towards the battlefield's center where one man and one demon were engaged, while others took the opportunity to launch sneak attacks on distracted opponents.

But soon after, all attention was drawn over.

The black smoke surrounding Pile Long began to surge together with the wolf howls, crane cries, and tiger roars, soaring like an overwhelming wave towards Li Rui.

Wu Bing widened his eyes as much as possible. He had previously entered a ten-star Secret Realm, but failed, and had never seen a boss battle, plus his level was very low at that time.

Now, he finally witnessed the kind of battle marked as dangerous even in the Secret Realm.

Because it happened so fast, his worry only lasted for a moment before vanishing, as Li Rui also activated the Great Fire Ball Spell, and in its most worn-out state.

If the black smoke was a frightening tidal wave, the red flame was like a solid barrier; when they collided, a fiercer gale was stirred, neither side able to prevail over the other.

"Who is he exactly! To battle against the Dangkong Mountain Demon Monarch's magical artifact without defeat!"

Pile Long was shocked and terrified. He had already exerted all his strength and had no more power to deploy. If this move couldn't injure his opponent, he couldn't think of another way to defeat that human.

And his Bear Race subordinates couldn't win with fewer against more. Eventually, they would be annihilated by the Demon Dragon Valley's demons, and at that point, he would also fall under their combined assault.

But such thoughts were unnecessary, as at that moment, Li Rui revealed another trump card.

Blood Soul Ring, activate!

At the cost of doubling all received damage, it also doubled all inflicted damage.

Activating this skill might pose some risk if using Thunder Shocking Earth in a charge, but using the Fire Ball Spell from the back has no risk.

Unless it couldn't compare.

But that was impossible.

Without the Blood Soul Ring, he could still hold a stalemate with Pile Long's magical artifact; now, with it doubled, the opponent had no power to fight.

Scarlet flames abruptly started surging forward, wrapping the black smoke and the bear demons behind it in an instant.

Subsequently, everyone heard a crisp bell ring. Flames suddenly soared, black smoke dispersed, and Pile Long staggered backwards a considerable distance before finally collapsing powerless.

To deal with him, Li Rui didn't even need to wait for reinforcements; he alone was sufficient.

Even wielding the Dangkong Mountain magical artifact was useless.

All eyes on the battlefield seemed glued to this spot.

No one expected the once-overbearing Pile Long to be killed in one strike, even when using the Dangkong Mountain magical artifact.

"Kill!"

Li Bailang reacted first, shouting to summon the Demon Race troops to attack the remnants of the Bear Race, most of whom gave up voluntarily after only a few put up a desperate resistance.

Li Rui, holding the umbrella, was slightly out of breath—not primarily from the enhanced Fire Ball Spell but to achieve that might, he had to consume more than half of his stamina, allowing his battered state to provide an enhancement.

He was now more confident that even facing a legitimate ten-star Secret Realm boss, he would undoubtedly triumph, as Mountain Lord Lou hadn't even forced out the Great Fire Ball Spell, and Pile Long relied on a magical artifact given by a Demon Monarch to make him reveal a few trump cards.

But he still had more to spare, as Endless Growth was not yet forced out.

At this point, Zhi Yan ran forward to chop off Pile Long's bear head, having some strong pig demon warriors spear it and shout loudly, showcasing the victory's fruit.

Li Rui and several other Secret Realm agents simultaneously received their rewards.

[Pile Long has been killed, side quest settled.]

[Level up!]
