My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 216: The Hardest Battle

Actually, at this moment, if Mountain Lord Lou were a bit smarter, he should at least know to send someone to persuade a surrender, telling these rebelling Demon Dragon Valley demons that as long as they surrender, their lives will be spared, and future benefits will be promised.

However, it can only be said that there is a reason why this demon gathering place has become increasingly weak in recent years. Not only do they not appease the morale of the rebel army and try to persuade surrender, but instead, they send a few Bear Demons to provoke.

"Kill all you mud-legged scum, just wait for death."

Swish swish swish!

Several poisonous blow darts shot out from the battlefield, instantly taking down the Bear Demons.

Wu Bing tilted his head: "Who told you to shoot! In a battle between two armies, the envoy is not to be slain."

Li Rui raised his hand: "I told them to shoot."

"Good shot!" Wu Bing gave a thumbs up.

Li Rui never misses an opportunity to weaken the enemy. Although a few ordinary Bear Demons were just a matter of casually handling to him, since they were free for the taking, there was no reason not to take them.

Seeing the Bear Demons they sent out killed at the front line, King Pi was furious.

"My lord! Give the order!"

Mountain Lord Lou nodded: "Charge, don't leave a single one alive!"

At the command, the deafening war cries erupted.

For these beasts, they don't need a horn to signal a charge. The war cry can not only replace it but also adds a buff to combat.

The unprecedented civil war in Demon Dragon Valley thus commenced, with two final bosses leading countless minions down the mountain.

Li Rui still led the charge, with Li Bailang on his left and right. The former went straight for Mountain Lord Lou, while the latter engaged with King Pi.

An Qing gave all the buffs she could to Li Rui to confront the Demon Dragon Valley king.

Li Bailang realized that the one who entered the secret realm with him was indeed the rumored Foggy Evil Ghost, the one qualified to execute missions with Guan Gui.

He would no longer express any distrust and knew that what he needed to do was to help a few elite NPCs hold off King Pi.

The greatest commotion on the battlefield still came from the two strongest warriors, Li Rui and Mountain Lord Lou.

Li Rui initiated with a move of Thunder Shocking Earth, both to intimidate the opponent and to shed some spiritual power and stamina, getting into a launch-ready state with battle scars.

And Mountain Lord Lou didn't look like a demon at all. On his left hand, he wore a fine gold spirit-patterned tiger-head shield, and in the right hand, he held a ghost-face Soul-Seeking Axe. Facing the imposing Thunder Shocking Earth, he was not daunted. With a tiger roar, he charged directly using the shield to block.

Boom!

Li Rui was surprised to find that the shield actually had at least a mid-level shock effect. The attack and defense moves of the two barely touched before being completely deflected.

Crack!

The ground was shocked into a horizontal crack, like the boundary between Chu and Han, lying between the man and demon.

But they didn't pause at all, and the moment they landed behind, they moved simultaneously.

They had the same thought, both aiming to seize the advantageous position for attack at the critical moment.

The fiendish aura flowed on the Soul-Seeking Axe as if it had been washed in the Nether River, and the massive force of the strike made Li Rui reluctant to face it head-on.

This Demon Dragon Valley king indeed was not on the same level as the previous bosses.

Swish.

He barely evaded the assault using the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture. Relying on his robust physique, he forcibly twisted into an unreasonable position and once again used Thunder Shocking Earth.

This move caught Mountain Lord Lou completely off guard, forcing him to hastily raise the shield. His arm trembled, bursting out golden light, clashing with the Thunder Shocking Earth enhanced by the battle scars.

The two stocks of golden power fiercely collided, ending in a stalemate again.

Li Rui, having prepared in advance, did not get blown away by the collision due to the shock effect this time. He forcibly sank his body, thrust the Vajra Umbrella into the ground, and plowed a three-foot distance to halt the recoil.

Not fully stable yet, he immediately stomped the ground, intending to pursue the advantage. With some luck, he might end the battle immediately.

However, Mountain Lord Lou, as expected, was not an ordinary Tiger Demon; he actually predicted Li Rui's action. While retreating, he took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar.

This was probably a spell similar to the Lion's Roar Skill; of course, his was a Tiger Roar. The violently vibrating air was even visible to the naked eye, and a thick shockwave cut off Li Rui's pursuit path. Since he couldn't attack in the first instant, there was no need to rush. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He stopped, preparing to take it slow.

Having increased his experience in sparring with experts, Li Rui could feel that this opponent was a top-class strongman.

Just like when he encountered Li Xiaolin, this Tiger Demon, Mountain Lord Lou, not only possessed profound cultivation but also abundant battle experience, couldn't show the impatience like Hui You, nor would he have the recklessness like Leopard Jie.

It could even be said that he combined the strengths of all the leaders.

The demon technique he cultivated bore the traits of a soldier cultivator—fierce and open, balanced in attack and defense, solid and hard to break through.

However, Li Rui remained confident.

So far, he had only used two skills: the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture and Thunder Shocking Earth.

Yet, he still had trump cards like the Blood Soul Ring, Great Fire Bell Spell, and the skills attached to the administrator's jacket to switch up his moves.

Finally, Mountain Lord Lou understood why so many native inhabitants of the Demon Dragon Valley would choose to rebel.

With such a brave general, it was natural for the crowd to respond.

This thought arose from his behavioral principles, not considering if there might be reasons for losing people's hearts.

He shook off the evil aura on the Soul-Seeking Axe and launched another charge.

Boom!

The great battle resumed.

While the slaughter between the two strongest on the battlefield was at a stalemate, the fights in other areas were very sticky too.

Li Bailang led more fighting demons because they gathered the power of the three major kings, but the quality was inferior to the Bear Tiger followers.

Moreover, the most crucial point was, King Pi's combat power was too formidable. Li Bailang was completely no match alone; he must lead an entire team of elite monsters to barely hold him off.

Even so, he still felt a bit anxious.

Because even if he exerted all his strength, he still couldn't stop King Pi, who was like a mountain, from approaching Mountain Lord Lou.

"Hold him back, don't let him get closer."

Li Bailang knew he probably couldn't meddle in the ultimate battle. This was the best effort he could make.

He flung a cyan talisman, enveloping himself in a glow, calling upon the Spirit Officer's Strong Power Talisman.

This was an epic-quality talisman, a bit painful to use here, but if it could help Li Rui and assist them in clearing this ten-star secret realm, it would be worth it.

Swish!

His speed increased abruptly, forcibly pulling the nearly out-of-control King Pi back, and his fighting style became more aggressive.

Seeing this, An Qing in the rear also used temporary items, improving reaction speed, to allow more detailed micro-movements, because the closer Li Bailang got to King Pi, the more dangerous it was, needing some buffing too, not just focusing on Li Rui.

This battle was clearly more difficult than the previous ones.

Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, in the awakening room, everyone finally revealed satisfied smiles.

"Finally, six stars."

"That's more like it."

The previous Black Star had puzzled everyone for quite some time. Now with six stars, although far from maxed out, it was still within an acceptable range.

While some action team leaders sighed, Wen Yan shook his head.

"No, according to the time calculation, even if they haven't reached the final boss, they should at least be at King Pi's position by now."

So everyone was awkward again.

If they were already at the fourth boss, according to the difficulty of the Demon Dragon Valley, the Black Star should have been maxed out by now.
