My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 284: Elder Fei Xiong Did Not Object

With Li Rui’s perceptive abilities, how could he not be aware of a mere cup of poisonous wine and drink it down in one go?

He looked toward Fei Xiong, who had instinctively hidden behind Xuan You.

"Your double-dealing doesn’t surprise me, but Elder, if you have chosen the wrong side, you might have to pay the price."

Fei Xiong shouted angrily, "Traitor! You killed my chieftain, how dare you think I would sincerely support you?! You have only foolhardy courage, yet lack cunning. Today, you will surely die here!"

Xuan You did not reply. He was the strategist of the Profound Bear clan. Upon hearing about Li Rui’s actions, he was not concerned about whether the Flying Leopard clan chief lived or died but rather that he couldn’t allow anyone to undermine the Bear clan’s dominance in the southern part of the Divine Wood forest.

At that time, Fei Xiong had already detailed the events of the previous day in the letter he handed over. After reading it, Xiong You became very wary, knowing that such a formidable person must be eliminated early. So, he prepared the poisoned wine intending to weaken Li Rui first, then arranged for the ambushing Profound Bear clan assassins to attack.

Unexpectedly, this outsider with unknown origins was sharp enough to see through the poisoned wine plot.

Li Rui, seeing him remain silent, smiled again and said to Fei Xiong, "Elder, you are mistaken, I never believed you’d support honestly."

"You little brat, still so stubborn. If you didn’t believe it, why would you bring me here alone?"

Yuan Erliang trembled, yet still dutifully translated in the same voice.

Li Rui chuckled, "Why would I? Because I don’t care."

Swish!

A flash of golden light, and in the blink of an eye, his figure was within three feet of Xiong You and Fei Xiong.

Both were shocked. The latter was instinctively fearful because he had seen Li Rui extinguish the lives of four Flying Generals and the Flying Leopard clan chief with a single fire breath.

And though Xiong You was a strategist, his own strength was also considerable. He clearly saw that the outsider, before taking action, did not forget to bring along the little Monkey Demon.

When he raised his arm to intercept, he suddenly realized the other party somehow had a black umbrella in his hand.

Xuan You was even more startled.

However, Li Rui wasted no time, striking Xuan You’s skull three times efficiently.

Thud!

Wonder if anyone has ever used a stick to crack a watermelon.

The Thunder of the Monkey King might not be as lethal as the Thunder Shocking Earth, but it was more than enough against Xuan You. This Bear Demon was likely just between the level of an Elite Monster and a minor boss.

In this area, only Xiong Linjun would make Li Rui exercise some caution.

After killing Xuan You, without looking back, he grabbed the curled-up Yuan Erliang and darted out of the wooden house. The residual power of the Thunder of the Monkey King directly electrocuted Fei Xiong. The latter’s eyes turned black, dying on the spot.

When Li Rui rushed outside, he noticed there were dozens of ambushing Bear clan assassins around, evidently determined to kill.

He was unafraid, still holding Yuan Erliang single-handedly to keep him safe, and charged directly into the Bear Demon formation with his umbrella.

In this battle, he deliberately did not use the more restrictive Great Fire Bell Spell on the Demon Race, nor the Thunder Shocking Earth, but instead constantly utilized the newly acquired staff skill to increase his proficiency.

Now dealing with these not so strong demons was an opportunity to practice; if met with a strong enemy without having adapted, it could lead to trouble.

Boom! Boom!

The steel umbrella constantly slammed against the Bear Demons, each strike capable of killing one.

Relying on the flexibility of his new skill, Li Rui moved back and forth among the enemy crowd, unstoppable by any demon.

These Profound Bear demons were hexagonal warriors with high agility and strength, yet before him, they seemed like infants.

At this time, even Yuan Erliang had adapted and did not flinch like before; though he still covered his face, he occasionally peeked through his fingers to watch the surrounding situation.

He realized that this gentleman, who came to save their tribe, was unmatched even on the territory of the Profound Bear clan.

"Truly amazing, truly amazing!" he chirped.

At this time, the Herculean Warriors and the fifty Flying Leopard Demons were waiting outside. Hearing the commotion in Lin Village, they were puzzled as the Profound Bear guards at the entrance watched fiercely with unfriendly expressions.

The Leopard Demons dared not act rashly; the Herculean Warrior, however, was somewhat alarmed and stepped forward to ask, "What is happening inside?"

The guard merely glanced at him, saying, "Just wait."

Boom!!

Another loud noise echoed.

The Herculean Warrior couldn’t sit still anymore; the noise erupted shortly after his entrance, clearly indicative of danger.

He thumped forward, his towering figure pressing down, "I must enter the village."

"Seeking death!"

The two Bear Demon guards raised their weapons to confront him, only to be slapped away.

Though the Ape Race was far from matching the Bear Race in power, the Herculean Warrior was at least a leader-level demon among them, and ordinary Profound Bear guards were no match for him.

"Howl——"

With a roar, the Herculean Warrior charged toward the source of the noise.

The remaining fifty Leopard Race elites were unaware of Fei Xiong’s schemes, hesitated momentarily, and then followed suit, charging in.

A group of demons formed a battle array, advancing while killing, finally reaching the battle’s location.

Even as they approached, they were filled with dread.

In the midst of a bloody pool formed by Bear clan corpses stood a figure holding an umbrella, his whole body bathed in blood, a god of death incarnate.

Seeing the "rescuing" Herculean Warrior and the other demons, Li Rui coldly said, "The Profound Bear clan intended to kill me; Elder Fei Xiong died valiantly in battle, sacrificing heroically."

After Yuan Erliang translated this, he suddenly froze.

Hmm? Is that actually the case?

No matter what, at least Elder Fei Xiong himself didn’t express any disagreement.

The Leopard Demons dared not doubt, and the Herculean Warrior spoke, "Sir, let us quickly charge out of the village. If not, more Bears will surely come."

Li Rui nonchalantly remarked, "Ah~ no rush, since we’re here, let’s first hear what Lin Jun has to say."

He knew the Profound Bear clan leader must be here; the earlier claim of being away was just a pretext by Xuan You.

Sure enough, a thunderous roar came.

"Who dares! How dare you kill my kin, quickly state your name!"

Li Rui, upon hearing it, frowned, "What did he say?"

The roar carried an intimidating effect that could distract anyone with a weaker mental fortitude for a moment.

After Yuan Erliang translated a sentence, Li Rui said, "Tell him that reporting names can wait until he bows and submits. If he doesn’t surrender, he shall die today."

The Herculean Warrior, knowing Yuan Erliang’s voice wasn’t sufficient, shouted the message himself.

Soon after, a figure rivaling the Herculean Warrior in size appeared in the distance. With long limbs, unlike others of its kin, it even seemed more agile.

"Ignorant child, spouting arrogance."

Upon this bear’s arrival, not just the fifty Flying Leopard clan elites but even the Herculean Warrior felt an immense pressure.

In this surrounding region, most clans had similar powers to the Powerful Ape and Flying Leopard clans, but the Profound Bear clan was the strongest.

Other clans had territorial disputes, but not with the Profound Bear clan, not because they loved peace but because anything the Profound Bear clan desired was not worth contesting; it was easier to simply hand it over.
