Of course, Li Rui was very excited. Three Dragon Thunder fragments had arrived at once, and with the previous kill of Zhu Liu, twelve Thunder Beasts made up a third — he was certainly happy.

"Chairman Wu, be alert."

As he spoke, he grabbed Wu Mengying’s arm and then used the Wind Gale Nine Turns, lifted off the ground, and fled in another direction.

The three Thunder General guards initially thought they had cornered the human who dared to intrude here, but unexpectedly, the other party ran just like that, naturally infuriating them.

"Chase!"

Their former subordinates, an elite group of Armored Beasts, had been slaughtered by Li Rui, so naturally, they wanted revenge, and immediately pursued with their other subordinates.

According to the speed and retreat range of the Wind Gale Nine Turns, Li Rui could have easily made these Barbaric Beasts lose all desire to chase him.

But unfortunately, he didn’t flee too far. The reason for rushing out of the encirclement was the fear that Wu Mengying couldn’t protect herself alone against three Thunder Beasts.

After all, for him, such level Barbaric Beast Generals were no longer a match for his strength. He was now at the level of a half-step world NPC, but Wu Mengying was different. Even if she was outstanding at the same level, she wouldn’t easily provoke three Thunder General guards all at once; they were ultimately bosses of the same level.

Therefore, Li Rui employed the Escape Technique, but deliberately did not go far, landing only a few miles away.

"Chairman Wu, I’ll handle them. If you’re in danger, prioritize your safety. I’ll settle it quickly."

In the past, Li Rui might have sought a way to properly organize and find ways for Wu Mengying to earn some experience, but now wasn’t the same. The real-world situation was extremely urgent; he had to seize every moment.

He finished his sentence, his figure transformed into a flash of golden light, instantly disappearing from the spot.

When Wu Mengying looked again, she saw that he had already charged several hundred meters away, only then did she recall that sentence.

"Going alone?"

After a moment’s thought, she activated her flying sword and followed.

When encircled, she indeed felt a bit overwhelmed alone, but now that she was out, she could contribute a bit.

As her advanced profession was Sword Master, she didn’t overly emphasize her Body Technique; instead, she focused on enhancing her lethality, so her speed was far from catching up to Li Rui. She hadn’t yet gotten closer when she saw flames erupt in the distance — the battle had already started.

After Li Rui turned around, stepping on the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture and Golden Horse and Iron Horse, he turned to meet the three pursuing Thunder Generals.

The opponents were also surprised that the human who was clearly just fleeing for his life had suddenly turned back.

"Kill!"

The three Thunder Generals roared in unison; there was no such thing as virtue on a battlefield like this. They attacked simultaneously from the front, unleashing the Dragon Thunder power hidden within them, intertwining in white light.

In the past, whenever the three of them used this move together, it was always unstoppable, and they’d never faced an enemy that could withstand it. To them, today was no exception.

At the same time, Li Rui also sensed the might of this move, realizing that upon its release, he couldn’t even feel the threat above White Thunder anymore, which meant...

This water attribute Thunder Skill possessed an elusive nature, making it hard for even him, or someone with high sensory attributes, to predict the upcoming attacks during the match.

In such a situation, he felt no fear. If technique couldn’t suppress, then strength would break through technique.

Zzz.

He activated the Blood Soul Ring, elevating the power of the Golden Horse and Iron Horse and Divine Thunder to another level, then surged forward like a tidal wave, with the Thunder Shocking Earth in his hand ready.

Although this skill doesn’t match the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell or the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell, his own equipment attributes have improved significantly, making his brute force stronger than before.

When he faced the monkey-like Thunder General Zhu Liu before, he was unafraid, not to mention now.

With a thunderous roar, platinum-colored lightning collided, their uncontainable energy clashing and finally shooting toward the sky.

Facing three, Li Rui didn’t fall behind in the slightest, even slightly overpowering them.

The three Thunder Generals were utterly shocked, realizing they had provoked someone they couldn’t afford to.

As this thought formed, before they could turn to escape, a flash of golden light came, and the opponent’s figure teleported in front of the red-crowned Thunder General.

Thunder Shocking Earth!

Li Rui’s Yin Yang Umbrella smashed down, then he turned and charged toward the one with tusks.

The latter was terrified to the extreme. Initially, as he leapt forward due to his attack, his body suddenly stopped, dropping to the ground like a weight in a move called Thousand-Pound Drop, typically used for crushing enemies with heavy weight, now employed to save his life.

After landing, without thinking, he picked a random direction and started running like mad, but hadn’t run far when he felt a searing heat from behind — another Thunder Shocking Earth had reached the back of his heart.

Boom!

Li Rui didn’t look back at him. With Thunderbolt Flash ready, he teleported again, blocking the last Thunder General.

"Who... who are you?" The opponent asked fearfully.

Li Rui glanced at the task list, knowing this Thunder General was named Huo Yang, granting a lot of experience, seemingly tougher than the other two.

"Are there other Thunder Generals nearby?" he asked instead of answering.

Huo Yang misunderstood, stammering, "My brothers are to the south. If you dare kill me, then..."

He couldn’t finish because another Thunder Shocking Earth descended upon him.

Huo Yang, indeed more experienced than the other two, inhaled sharply when facing Thunder Shocking Earth, then exhaled black flame embedded with White Thunder, seemingly his innate Divine Power, further enhanced by Dragon Thunder.

When Thunder Shocking Earth collided with the breath, it surprisingly couldn’t dissipate it directly.

Li Rui praised silently, then activated Heart of Fury. This Administrator Jacket supplied Assassin skills boosting both critical hit rate and critical damage, then he used Thunder Shocking Earth again.

Boom!

"...."

Li Rui was a bit embarrassed, he forgot that his bad luck usually meant critical attributes were useless, unless the Grand Contestant provided guaranteed face-slapping crits. Otherwise, he couldn’t trigger them, and the crit damage bonus was nonsense.

He had to retreat once more.

Seeing this, Huo Yang felt an illusion.

Can I counter-kill?

Though unclear why the man suddenly halted, it indeed seemed an opportunity. Instead of fleeing, he stepped forward, unleashing a more ferocious breath.

"Hoo—"

Li Rui clicked his tongue, a bit displeased. If crits couldn’t occur, they didn’t exist.

Annoyed, he didn’t want to waste time anymore, frowned, and unleashed an All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.

How could the twelfth part of Dragon Thunder defeat a complete Community Thunder, especially with Li Rui’s panel outmatching in all wave clashes?

With a roar, Huo Yang was engulfed by crimson thunder fire, and everything turned silent.

Only at this moment did Wu Mengying arrive, and a bunch of question marks filled her mind.

"Wasn’t there an intense fight just now? Where are those Barbaric Beasts? How come it’s only you left?"
