Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Found My Good Brother

Li Rui crossed the barrier of the Secret Realm, but he paid the price: his left arm was severed at the root, with a smooth wound, directly cut by the space.

The good news is, it doesn’t hurt.

Indeed, the barrier of the Secret Realm is formidable. It was never meant to be reasonably utilized; crossing it and then being forcibly displaced is akin to skipping class and is theoretically not allowed.

Li Rui is almost certain that breaking the barrier isn’t much related to his skill strength. If not for possessing the power from the Upper Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Despite feeling curious about the relationship between the Upper Realm and the Secret Realm, he doesn’t have time to think too much now, as the mission timer has already turned to thirty minutes.

"Chairman Wu didn’t deceive me."

His heart was filled with joy, and he thought to himself that once he got out, he must find a chance to thank him. Upon further consideration, reporting today’s situation in the Secret Realm to Song Yao would be the best thanks, after all, he is the direct superior of Wu Mengying.

Li Rui instinctively wanted to rub his hands together but realized rubbing with one hand wasn’t possible.

"Anyhow, there are still ten minutes left, might as well take a stroll."

He cast an Escape Technique and soared into the air, moving toward the southern bank of the Golden Scale Abyss, recalling that Huo Yang he slain earlier mentioned he had good brothers over there.

Li Rui soared into the sky, moving swiftly with the wind. Despite having already used several major moves, he wasn’t worried. After all, he moved unscrupulously in the Golden Scale Northern Abyss earlier, and even more so here, as the level range in the Golden Scale South Abyss is lower, being a level 46-50 Secret Realm.

From high above, he saw the front line where Liangting’s army was fighting the Barbaric Beasts and turned into a streamer to rush into the battlefield.

At this moment, the generals of Liangting were continuously relaying orders.

"Hold on. Just a while longer, and Commander Wei Xun will lead experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau here. By then, victory will surely be ours."

The general looked resolute, bringing endless confidence to those around him.

But only he knows that this route of the army is not the main force. Its purpose is to hold the Barbaric Beasts’ attention, allowing another main force army to bypass the Golden Scale Abyss and ambush the Barbaric Beasts from behind.

He said reinforcements were coming just to boost the morale of the soldiers so they could persist longer, but in truth, there was no Wei Xun or Demon Suppression Bureau.

But just as he gave the command, still worried inside, he saw the world change color as a mass of crimson fiery lightning descended from the sky, directly into the Barbaric Beasts’ formation.

In an instant, the stalemate situation underwent a dramatic reversal. The level 46-50 Barbaric Beasts couldn’t withstand the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell, instantly turning to ash in the flames if they didn’t escape, and those that did didn’t dare look back.

"The masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau have arrived!"

"The general truly has divine foresight!"

All eyes filled with admiration turned to the commanding general, as he seemingly had total control over the battlefield situation.

The general stroked his beard without a word, feeling quite anxious inside.

Ah? Who is that person, I don’t know him at all.

He had no idea who this suddenly appeared Li Rui was, and if not for the current situation suggesting the stranger as a friend rather than a foe, he would have ordered elites to converge on him.

As his mind frantically searched his memory to figure out who the visitor was, he felt a blink, and a streamer descended from the sky. A one-armed young man stepped out, resembling a hero.

"Who goes there!"

The guards beside the general couldn’t even see how the person appeared, drawing their weapons in caution.

"Do not be rude." The general held back the guards, saluting personally, "Thank you for your assistance."

Li Rui didn’t want to waste time, so he thought of a way to directly declare his identity: "Wei Xun, Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, asked me to help."

The other generals present thought this explanation quite reasonable, as the general had just said so.

Li Rui didn’t want to waste time explaining his identity because he had other questions to ask.

"May I ask, have you seen the twelve Thunder Generals under the Thunder Emperor’s command? Those Barbaric Beast leaders clad in full silver armor?"

The general looked at the officer managing scouts, who replied, "Master, it seems someone saw them on the distant mountain peak over there, but that area is deep behind the Barbaric Beasts, and I can’t claim certainty."

Li Rui was short on time. Regardless of whether the place truly had Thunder Generals, he could only try his luck, glanced at the northwest direction where the mountain stretched across the plain, and once again melded into the wind.

Once his figure completely disappeared, the generals didn’t retract their gaze, always feeling like they were misremembering something.

Could it be that reinforcements are indeed coming, and I just forgot?

.....

Sizzle, sizzle!!

White lightning flickered between the steel forest, where two silver-armored Barbaric Beast leaders were hosting a certain array.

The Barbaric Beasts had constructed tall towers out of metal here, with spikes growing on the sides and arcs connecting between them. Li Rui only had to glance at it to feel this thing resembled an orc version of a tesla coil.

He finally understood why several Thunder Generals appeared nearby; their goal was to complete this array.

Once formed, the Liangting army would face an overwhelming offensive like the might of heaven upon reaching the mountain below.

Li Rui glanced at the time, the countdown had three minutes left, with the endless cooldown time regaining in two minutes, so he decided to patiently bide his time.

The Thunder Generals here were a stage lower in level than Huo Yang earlier, which meant there was no worry, but considering there was an array here, he planned to restore his Spiritual Power fully using the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell to solve the problem as insurance.

Nevertheless, the Thunder Generals weren’t ordinary Barbaric Beasts. Even if they were hosting an array, they still noticed Li Rui, who lacked stealth abilities.

"Who goes there!"

"Find him!"

Two angry shouts awakened all the Barbaric Beasts here, resounding roars echoed across the peak.

Li Rui received two tasks: naturally to kill the two Thunder Generals, one named Lu Bo and the other Bai Xun.

Before he could take a good look, the Barbaric Beasts began charging toward his hiding place.

It seemed among these beasts, some specialized in searching techniques, discovering the uninvited guest through certain methods.

Li Rui had no choice but to reveal himself, holding the Golden Vajra Umbrella, activating the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, and clashing with the Barbaric Beast pack.

At the same time, Lu Bo and Bai Xun placed their hands on the steel balls at the tower’s base, activating the array.

"Just right to see if this array really works."

The base beneath this tower had six in total, with only two Thunder Generals now, reducing its power notably. Even so, the sweeping white lightning still posed a considerable threat to Li Rui.

Boom!!

The thick white thunder seemed to have eyes, closely pursuing Li Rui as he ran, but fortunately, the speed of the Divine Thunder was the fastest. As long as he continued to move, the Dragon Thunder indeed couldn’t catch him. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The two Thunder Generals were anxious. The array was indeed a good one, making their thunder power much stronger than usual, but the problem was they couldn’t do anything to this inexplicably appearing human.

Not only that, the opponent rampaged through their own beast pack, killing off most of their own.

Just as they were agitated, they saw the golden lightning around Li Rui fade as he stopped and looked over, his gaze like looking at fish on a dinner plate.

Endless source, activate.

All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell.

A scorching breath suddenly began to ferment, and the two Thunder Generals looked up to see crimson gold-thunder intertwined from the clouds beginning to fall.
