My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 270: Who the Hell Wants a Cage Match with You?

A sentence from Li Rui reignited the battlefield, but at this moment, the Demon Beasts found themselves in a dilemma.

Two Demon Kings died in an instant, what's the point of fighting? Continuing to fight only means death.

But if they don't fight, and the strategic granary falls, they'll also be accounted for, still resulting in death.

The only relief for them was that the human had no interest in ordinary Demon Beasts. After killing two Demon Kings, he headed straight for the Barbaric Beast General.

"Brothers, lend a hand, I want him alive!"

Of course, Li Rui aimed to capture the Barbaric Beast General. This person, possessing the Dragon Thunder, was obviously one of the twelve personal Barbarian Generals empowered by the Barbarian Emperor, as mentioned by Tao Yun.

This kind of person must be captured and interrogated for clues.

Upon hearing his request, all who still had some strength left looked maliciously at the Barbarian General.

?

The personal Barbarian Generals were not just common Barbaric Beast Generals. Though their power wasn't as strong as the Barbarian Monarch, they were "close ministers to the emperor," possessing high status and a portion of the Dragon Thunder, naturally intimidating other Barbaric Beasts.

The twelve personal Barbarian Generals in the Golden Scale Marsh, even the Barbarian Monarch would treat them with deference. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Upon hearing that a human wanted to capture him alive, anger surged in his heart, and the White Thunder on his right arm grew more intense.

"Ha—"

He punched the ground, spreading a hellish thunderstorm outward.

Except for Li Rui, who had extremely high defense and resistance, everyone else retreated backward, leaving the cage behind.

[Triggered a long-term exploratory clue event: Cage Match to the Death.]

[Mission Objective: Kill Zhu Liu, capture the Dragon Thunder Fragment.]

[Mission Reward: Dragon Thunder Fragment.]

"Oh? In this case, there's no need to capture him alive."

This was the first time Li Rui triggered a related event concerning a long-term mission. This thunder was much more explicit than the previous two. At least for now, it seemed all twelve of the Barbarian Emperor's personal Barbarian Generals must be killed.

Without any further hesitation, he charged forward.

Bang!

The Thunder Shocking Earth strike slammed down, trying to first control the opponent with advanced shocks.

However, in the next moment, something even Li Rui didn't anticipate occurred. The Thunder General punched again, and the White Thunder met the Golden Thunder, not only blocking the damage from Thunder Shocking Earth but without staggering backward, or being affected at all, advancing smoothly with a body technique and launching another punch at himself.

Swish.

Li Rui hurriedly used the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture to move back, but was still a beat too slow, his left shoulder hit by a punch.

The wound, bones, and flesh visibly healed at an appreciable speed. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The battle had just begun, yet he was forced to use this skill.

This was mainly due to the opponent's unexpected supernatural abilities.

Li Rui didn't rush forward again as he realized the opponent's immunity to control likely also came from the divine might within.

According to the materials from the Superpower Division, someone had found a tattered book depicting folk legends in a Level 70 Secret Realm. It recorded that the Dragon Thunder, also known as Water Thunder, had powers over commanding thunder to bring rain, relieve drought, raise wind and clouds, and manage the Water Mansion.

The so-called mountains have no constant shape, water has no constant form; this thunder having the ability to evade control doesn't seem surprising.

Meanwhile, the Thunder General opposite felt a sense of astonishment.

After only a short confrontation, he realized this opponent was bizarre, seemingly without weaknesses.

Not only were the spells powerful and the strength immense, but the speed was also incredibly fast with extremely strong recovery abilities.

This time he had encountered a tough opponent.

The Thunder General glanced around and saw that beyond the hellish thunderstorm he had unleashed, other humans were charging against the groups of Demon Beasts, some burning the granary and wrecking the arsenal, while others were attempting to dismantle the hellish thunderstorm to help Li Rui.

The dire situation was beyond his imagination.

Originally, another Barbaric Beast General was stationed here, but because safeguarding the supply route was crucial, this Thunder General had specifically replaced that one, yet such an incident still occurred.

He knew he had to do something.

"My name is Zhu Liu, who are you?"

The Thunder General announced his name, and as he spoke, his body began to transform: white hair grew atop his head, while his lower body turned a shade of crimson.

Li Rui raised an eyebrow, announcing his name in return.

Zhu Liu plunged his sharp claws into his chest, pulling out a narrow rib, with the resulting blood hole quickly healing itself.

As he gripped the bone in his right hand, the White Thunder spread over it.

"The strength is immense, the speed is decent, recovery ability enhanced, and immune to control."

Li Rui memorized the opponent's tactics in his mind, and then advanced again.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Within the thunder cage, both sides unleashed their full power upon each other, the white and gold figures repeatedly clashing and weaving past each other, causing a ruckus seemingly larger than in any other area of the entire battlefield despite being just two people.

Of course, there's a psychological factor at play; anyone with even a little power here could feel the terrifying aura occasionally leaking from that cage.

Li Rui found that after the beast transformed, all its attributes increased.

The speed was roughly equal to his, its strength was in no way inferior, and its reactions were quick and agile.

"It is indeed formidable. Tasks related to the Five Thunders Skill are never simple."

Li Rui had tried various tactics: shadows, explosive traps, even his endless flow technique, but still couldn't overwhelm the opponent.

Boom!

After yet another clash, he charged towards the cage formed by the White Thunder.

"Perish!"

Zhu Liu, thinking he was about to escape, grew more aggressive, ready to chase him down.

However, Li Rui paid no mind, simply tossing out a Thunder Shocking Earth, aiming at the cage.

We are all part of the Five Thunders, I don't fear you!

The Thunder Shocking Earth with an annihilation attribute blasted a gap in the cage. Li Rui darted out.

"Stop!"

Zhu Liu continued to chase relentlessly, but with Divine Thunder augmented, the speed was notably fast; if not for the higher baseline of this Thunder General, he would surely be left behind.

However, as he chased, something started feeling off.

Surrounding him were Nan Jiumei, Ning Huchen, Qian Yi, Li Ding, and several Soldier Cultivators ready to assist.

Li Rui cracked a wicked smile: "Who the hell said I'd fight you in a cage match, brothers, hit him!"

The group, previously suppressed relentlessly by two Kings and a General, now had the chance to avenge each grudge and repay each debt.

Nan Jiumei's skill cooldown had already reset. The second round of concentrated bombardment surged towards Zhu Liu, and he couldn't withstand it—not because he couldn't endure the intensity of the skill, but because everyone else had their own methods.

Most crucially, that strongest umbrella-wielder was eyeing from the sidelines. Any slip-up would likely invite that spell, capable of instantly killing the Demon King, to strike.

Zhao Jia realized he had been too conservative before, thinking pressuring the mid-line was enough. Now the pressure on the Barbaric Beast General has already reached its peak.
