My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 63: Let’s Settle This! Just Kidding

The faceless scholar couldn’t understand what Li Rui was saying, but it sensed that this person was quite unusual.

"You, too, are from beyond the heavens, right?"

Li Rui was on guard but not as tense as others; he was curious about this statement: "Do you know who we are?"

"Of course, you are the parasites of this world."

"....."

Li Rui could hear a load of resentment in these words, "And what about you, who are you?"

The faceless scholar didn’t reply, and its pale hands transformed into crimson claws.

Swish!

Its figure moved as fast as lightning, disappearing in an instant, so much so that when it appeared in front of Wu Sun, he almost couldn’t react.

Endless Vitality initiated, Ax Splitter!

However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred; the scholar had extended its index finger, aiming directly at Wu Sun’s throat from the front, a move that should have been hard to retract.

Yet, as the battle axe descended, its figure suddenly shifted sideways like a kite in the wind.

This move didn’t seem flashy but was very effective, quickly throwing Wu Sun off balance.

No wonder other teams were almost unable to resist, all having their throats pierced, lying dead in the forest.

Such unbelievable speed and bizarre Body Technique, without some hidden trick, most people wouldn’t stand a chance.

But it didn’t matter; if he couldn’t keep up with the scholar, there was someone present who could.

When Li Rui was speaking just now, he was not only trying to get information but also secretly upgraded the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture to lv3.

This skill, which can greatly increase action and thinking speed in a short time, is very useful in battle, especially against strong enemies; it can attack or defend, truly deserving the title of a Legendary Level skill.

He discovered that after lv3, the skill upgrade was locked, requiring level 30 for the next upgrade.

However, this was not the time to care about that; he activated the skill, rushing to Wu Sun’s side, his speed not losing to the faceless scholar, perhaps even slightly faster.

Thunderbolt Palm!

He attacked with a killing move, attempting to strike a fatal blow.

Bam—

This palm landed solidly on the unsuspecting scholar’s chest.

It flew like a ragdoll but landed steadily on the ground; its chest was scorched, yet surprisingly not severely injured.

"Brother Wu, fall back; you’re too weak, just protect yourself!"

As Li Rui spoke, he continued to step towards the scholar.

The opponent had no face, so it showed no expression, but it charged head-on.

Yet, just as the crimson claws and Thunderbolt Palm were about to collide, the faceless scholar’s figure floated again, avoiding Li Rui’s attack path, heading straight for Wu Sun.

It planned to attack the weak, either to eliminate the "too weak" Wu Sun or force Li Rui to turn back to aid, exploiting his flaw.

Once again, it used incredible speed to close in on Wu Sun, switching from a finger to a claw, aiming directly at his throat, but surprisingly found another figure flashing from behind, with a longsword suddenly stabbing forth.

He Chengli had taken advantage of the previous time to stealthily position himself behind Wu Sun; now in battle, with the scene in chaos, it was difficult for even the sensitive scholar to track an assassin’s movements.

Meanwhile, Wu Sun also stepped back half a pace, then turned around with an axe.

Li Rui’s earlier words were intentional, meant to lure the enemy to attack the "weak side."

Now the strategy worked, and under the pincer attack, the scholar dared not take it head-on, twisting its body to float backward, sustaining two more wounds on its sides, yet no blood flowed.

However, Li Rui was not one to let a fallen enemy escape; a flash of golden light, he approached the withdrawing scholar from behind.

Another Thunderbolt Palm imprinted on the scholar’s back, causing a shock that sent it flying, crashing through two nearby trees, landing amid the dust.

"Is it dead?"

"No, the event hasn’t settled."

None of the three let down their guard, just to see within the dust, the faceless scholar’s figure, though somewhat damaged, still able to move.

Li Rui was also a bit shocked; now at lv2 Grand Brittle and lv3 Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, in this situation, combining skills hitting twice, yet the other side still hadn’t died.

With strength and speed both top-notch, its vitality so resilient, in this Secret Realm, besides their team, there should be no one else who could handle this creature, or to be precise, they simply had no means to kill it.

So at this moment, to ensure a one-hit kill, he chose to use the last stored skill point.

[Skill—Grand Brittle lv3.]

[Effect: Basic physical attack. Enhanced by physique and spirit attributes. Critical Strike when hitting the face.]

[Attack Type, Fist and Palm.]

[Level Bonus: Damage 10%, gains advanced shock effect.]

No new attack effects were added, but the shock effect was upgraded from basic to advanced, also increasing damage.

His entire body resembled a skipping stone, golden light constantly bouncing on the ground, rushing from afar toward the scholar.

"Let’s decide who is stronger with palm against palm!"

The latter’s crimson claws were also enveloped in blood energy, clearly ready for a desperate fight.

"Roar!!" It emitted an inhuman roar from its mouth.

At this moment, the battle was already beyond others’ intervention, as the two were about to clash in close combat, determining life and death.

Then suddenly, after Li Rui landed again, his entire figure suddenly paused.

"Sorry, tricked you."

Buzz!!!

Thunder Vortex shot forward from his front, crashing into the foolishly charging faceless scholar.

The advanced shock effect made Thunder Vortex not only vibrate continuously while rotating, making its trajectory even harder to capture, but its impact force was also enhanced.

The scholar felt its body strength continuously draining, instinctively roaring, but to no avail.

For Thunder Vortex had torn its body apart.

Its entire frame deflated like it had lost air, visibly shrinking before finally wobbling and collapsing to the ground, turning into pieces.

[World event completed.]

[Level up!]

[You have new attribute points.]

[You have new items.]

Leveling up restored his state, replenishing all the spiritual power consumed earlier.

Not only him, but He Chengli and Wu Sun also each gained a level, the former because it only needed 17,000 experience to go from level 11 to 12, which wasn’t much, and the latter because he had been at level 15 for some time, plus the previous random event completed in Silent Forest, only needed a few thousand experience to level up.

"Wow, Brother Rui, your skill strength has increased again." He Chengli was both admiring and envious.

Wu Sun’s tone was somewhat complex: "You sacrificed again; you used your saved skill point, right?"

Hearing this, He Chengli was moved: "Brother Rui, you must have worried that if this dragged on, we would encounter danger, so you had no choice but to do this!"

"Huh?"

Li Rui clearly didn’t expect him to say such a thing, "No, no, no, I was mainly afraid it would run away, and we wouldn’t get the experience."
