My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 241: Who Can’t Call for Reinforcements?

The bell rang, and the golden figure emerged.

The Divine Spirit, with glaring eyes, seemed to open its mouth and utter some spell.

Boom.

A spell that seemed like fire yet resembled thunder burst forth, striking Zuo Qiutian who couldn't react in time.

This is why Young Master Li desperately moved behind him, to lower the opponent's guard while positioning his past self nine seconds ago to launch an instant offense.

Zuo Qiutian certainly sensed the aggressive spell coming from behind, but he couldn't escape it.

Community Thunder, although slower, is still thunder—it just isn't as fast as Divine Thunder.

If it had been the Great Fire Bell Spell behind him, he might have dodged, but now it was the upgraded All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell, impossible to evade.

Whoosh!

Flames and thunder whirled at his ear, constantly suppressing everyone, yet Zuo Qiutian was directly hit and instantly turned into ashes.

Brother Zuo didn't even have a chance to grunt before he perished.

The crowd was so shocked by the immense and abrupt joy that they were speechless; no one leaped up in surprise, nor did anyone rush forward to embrace Young Master Li and toss him into the air; they all failed to react timely.

Was it over just like that?

Young Master Li, expressionless, took out a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion and gulped it down.

Having expended all his Spiritual Power, he replenished it first to avoid any unforeseen events, just as usual, keeping himself ready to face any mishaps.

As proven, the habit developed under threat was useful.

When everyone thought the task was done, a stench blew by, and the blood puddle on the ground suddenly started to wriggle, gathering into a humanoid form, and the silhouette causing everyone's fear appeared once again before them.

For Young Master Li, this situation was not unexpected.

The All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell and retrospection merely gave him the ability to kill Zuo Qiutian, but this did not mean the latter lacked other means to counter.

Someone who can split their residual soul to create avatars can easily use the shell rebirth tactic.

"Seems you gained significant benefits, Brother Li; it's truly unfortunate, but I can't let you leave today."

As he spoke, the land beside Zuo Qiutian suddenly began to rise, revealing the Earth Escape technique seen in the Community Thunder space.

The youth equipped with dual blades appeared again.

"Ah, who would have thought Mr. Zuo would be pushed to use the Blood Exchange Rebirth Skill; impressive, truly impressive. Can you give me the chance to slice him to death?"

Speaking, he grasped one of the short swords.

Young Master Li could feel the murderous intent, which was not much weaker than Zuo Qiutian's; this person was quite powerful.

Just then, another figure descended from the sky, landing with a thud, causing the ground to crack like a spider's web.

Another person joined Zuo Qiutian's side, tall and stout with a general's belly, holding a fiery red battle axe.

"Mr. Zuo, could you divide that thing, you take thunder, I take fire?"

The three stood firm, each resembling standard world NPCs; from their appearance onward, the situation couldn't become worse.

Even though the cover over Magma Lake collapsed, causing the Burning state to disappear, Yu Xin, Duan Ling, and others healed the curable injuries with Spiritual Medicine, they struggled against just Zuo Qiutian, not to mention the two sudden allies.

"We must scatter and flee."

Yu Xin said, regardless of whether they could be overheard, scattering to escape was open strategy—if anyone could get away by themselves.

But Young Master Li stated, "You can't escape."

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, her heart sinking as well, realizing if Young Master Li said this, the matter was indeed irreparable, beyond doubt.

Now, only fighting desperately remained; it might not bring survival, but at least some dignity.

Looking up, she saw Young Master Li seemed to share her thoughts, raised his head, and confidently walked toward Zuo Qiutian.

Not just Yu Xin, but Duan Ling and others also prepared for a life-and-death battle, waiting for him to initiate a killing move so they could follow suit.

Everyone's hearts beat slightly faster, tense beyond description, instead seeing Young Master Li halfway through suddenly burst into a cheerful smile: "Brother Zuo, why don't we talk this out, things can be discussed."

"....."

Yu Xin and others were dumbfounded on the spot.

Who would want to negotiate with you at this moment!

"Pfft, hahaha."

The young swordsman burst out laughing, "Mr. Zuo, this person is interesting, should we just kidnap him?"

Zuo Qiutian slightly shook his head, "He won't follow your orders."

"Hey, kid, come with me, or I'll chop off your limbs, scorch your meridians, and pack you into a jar to take back."

Yet the swordsman remained defiant.

Li Rui quickly said, "No, no, no, I'll go with you. Brother Zuo has such deep prejudices; how could I disobey?"

The swordsman looked at Zuo Qiutian smugly, as if to say: Look, haven't I frightened him?

However, the latter knew that this person was full of deceit and would never honestly return.

The giant wielding the halberd showed his trust in Zuo Qiutian: "I'll cripple him and drag him back directly."

"Go ahead."

As soon as the words were spoken, the giant leaped up like an iron tower, pressing directly toward Li Rui.

Seeing this, the others naturally wouldn't agree and rushed forward, forming a formation beside him to defend against the enemy.

However, the giant merely emitted a wicked laugh and tossed the fiery great halberd, which transformed into a fire dragon, darting to the ground and then attacking simultaneously from another direction.

"I'll handle him personally; you deal with the fire dragon."

Li Rui instructed, then charged at the giant, holding the Vajra Umbrella, meeting him head-on with Thunder Shocking Earth.

Boom!!

For the first time, Thunder Shocking Earth lost in terms of strength.

The giant used merely his flesh and palms to disperse the Divine Thunder forcibly, sending Li Rui crashing to the ground.

Bang.

The dust rose into the air.

On the other side, the fire dragon once again injured everyone who had just recovered, though the injuries varied in severity.

"Heh heh, not so tough after all."

The giant landed, and the fire dragon returned to his hand, reverting into a great halberd.

These people's strengths were incredibly outrageous, comparable to Zuo Qiutian's, though the latter relied more on unorthodox methods, while the giant evidently excelled in straightforward combat, rendering everyone incapable of fighting after just one round.

"Kid, Mr. Zuo simply doesn't want to kill you because you carry Celestial Majesty. It's not that he can't defeat you, so don't get too cocky."

The words clearly held a flattery and exaggerated praise.

Li Rui clutched his chest, realizing he might have broken a few ribs and that his body was afflicted with trembling, fear, and other negative effects, yet he showed no weakness whatsoever.

"That's truly unfortunate. Now, even if he wanted to kill me, he couldn't."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the giant seemed to sense something, leaping back to Zuo Qiutian's side. Just as he retreated, countless peach blossoms burst from the ground, each one harboring lethal intent, enveloping the spot where he had just stood.

A majestic woman, standing over ten feet tall, appeared before Li Rui, and anyone could guess her identity upon seeing her.

Peach Blossom Spirit.

"I felt the Celestial Majesty dissipate and came immediately. Luckily, I wasn't too late. Young Master Li, how are you?"

"I'm fine, not dying."

Seeing her arrival, Zuo Qiutian was not alarmed but rather pleased.

"Hmm? Dear Brother Li, this is indeed a delightful surprise. I thought I had already miscalculated, but if the Peach Blossom Spirit is here, perhaps there's a way to strip the Celestial Majesty from you."

Li Rui grinned: "Well, you'd have to win in a fight first."

The swordsman's figure flashed in an instant to stand before the Peach Blossom Spirit, moving incredibly fast, slicing down with a blade, and the latter instantly turned into countless petals, vanishing from the spot.

When reappearing, though intact, a tiny slit had opened on her cloth.

"She's too weak; she can't protect you all."

The Peach Blossom Spirit was infected with Flame Demon poison, much weaker than a thousand years ago, and was not their match.

The crowd initially thought a savior had arrived, only to find it was still useless, leaving them even more disappointed.

But Yu Xin noticed that Li Rui wasn't discouraged at all, instead appearing confident, having already taken out a bottle of Golden Wound Medicine, leisurely starting to treat his injuries as if those three people didn't exist.

At the same time, the swordsman's figure disappeared again, returning to Zuo Qiutian's side; the three remained highly vigilant, as if facing a great enemy.

With a swish.

An old Daoist with white hair and beard emerged from the void, wide-robed and broad-sleeved, with an immortal-like demeanor.

Sizzling.

Another group of golden electric lights flew down from afar, revealing another old Daoist in them, his eyebrows and eyes were dignified, and his posture upright.

Beside him, behind Zuo Qiutian and the others, two more Daoists arrived, having used some profound Escape Technique, surrounding them.

"Who is this?"

A man called Xiaowang tugged Duan Ling's sleeve, thinking the latter, being a Daoist, might know their origins.

Duan Ling stood dumbfounded and stuttered: "Could it be... Shenxiao's Four Disciples: Chongxu, Zhenyue, Fuhai, and Jichuan?"
