My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 285: If One Strike Isn’t Enough, Just Hit Again
Mr. Li looked coldly at the approaching Xiong Linjun Xuan Hong, whose imposing manner and strong physique truly gave off the aura of a king, no less than the split-fire warrior and General Bai Fei who had once blocked the road on Kaiping Path.
Though he was still not to be feared by him, all the demons revered and feared this King Xiong.
The powerful ape uneasily snorted twice through his nose, but without instructions from Mr. Li, he did not act rashly.
Before coming, Yuan Ju had specifically whispered: Follow Mr. Li’s orders in everything, do not act on your own and ruin Mr. Li’s big plans.
Xuan Hong said, "I just ask, how dare you break into my village to kill?"
Mr. Li replied, "I entered as a guest to meet you, but this Xuan You not only did not treat me properly, but also attacked me for no reason. It was merely self-defense."
Xuan Hong sneered, "In my tribe’s village, your counterattack is considered a crime. If you do not surrender, I will first take your head, then slaughter the ape and leopard races."
Yuan Erliang translated with some unease in his tone, though far less than when the Flying Leopard Clan was being attacked.
Hearing this, Mr. Li laughed instead of getting angry, "I originally did not wish to kill again, but you are on your path to death!"
"Roar!"
Xuan Hong let out a furious roar, his body suddenly transformed, with his originally slender body swelling with bulging muscles, turning into an iron tower in an instant, and a crimson drool dripped from his sharp teeth, immediately producing rolling white smoke upon touching the ground.
The powerful ape said in a muffled voice, "Be careful, sir. After his transformation, his body is filled with deadly poison. A careless contact would be fatal. Do not underestimate him."
At this moment, Xuan Hong was already on the move, galloping furiously on all fours with a momentum that was terrifying to behold.
What worried the powerful ape more was that he had seen the power of the Fire Bell Spell up close and knew how formidable it was, but Xuan Hong’s fur had the ability to resist flames, so fire spells might not be able to take his life.
Mr. Li was not on the shoulders of the powerful ape at this time, but his body still remained immobile as he threw Yuan Erliang, who was hanging on his hand, aside, and once again formed a seal with his left hand.
The powerful ape was somewhat nervous. He recognized this hand seal as the one for the fiery spell but was unsure whether it could once again defeat the opponent instantly.
In truth, Mr. Li was a bit conflicted as well.
He believed the Great Fire Bell Spell was the fire of Community Thunder, though not the main body, it slightly restrained the demon race and should be able to kill instantly.
But in case it didn’t, it would not be enough to establish his might, so he decided to use a little more strategy after some thought.
He swallowed two pills, one Vast Pill and one Power Dragon Pill, both rare consumables, one increasing spirit and the other enhancing might.
At the same time, the Soul Bone Pendant switched to the Crane aspect, increasing might by 5%.
At this point, because of the previous battle, about twenty to thirty percent of his spiritual power and physical strength had been consumed, with battle scars accumulating up to around 30% as well.
Then, the Great Fire Bell Spell was activated!
This time, the crimson flames surged forward more fiercely than before in front of the Flying Leopard Encampment, like a gale.
Xuan Hong, already charging, was greatly astonished. Having lived in the Divine Wood Forest for many years, who in the central region except a few major tribes had such means?!
He dared not be careless, immediately stopping his charge, pulling something from his armor, and throwing it forward. The treasure instantly transformed into a giant shield, covered with flame patterns.
"Flame Wave Shield!"
The powerful ape was greatly alarmed.
This was a treasure from the central Divine Wood Forest, belonging to the Yangli clan, unexpectedly bestowed upon Xuan Hong.
Crash!!!
The crimson flame hit the shield like waves against a dam, instantly stopping its momentum. Moments later, as a bell rang, the shield turned to ashes, and the Great Fire Bell Spell was also neutralized.
The surrounding demons were horrified not because of the shield but because a single strike could burn such a treasure to nothing.
The Profound Bear tribe thought, once Linjun kills this fiend, it must be torn limb from limb.
The powerful ape was getting scared; the most powerful spell was dispelled, what should be done now?
The opposing Xuan Hong was heartbroken and furiously enraged.
"You killed my advisor and destroyed my treasure, I swear I will kill you!!"
However, no one knew that Mr. Li was also dissatisfied.
Initially wanting to instantly impress surrounding Profound Bear clan, he hadn’t expected this guy to pull out such a treasure.
I am furious, I’ll give you another hit!
So he formed the seal again, and due to the consumption from the last spell, its power became even greater.
The surrounding demons were in shock.
Such a powerful spell, actually usable twice?!
They didn’t know, in fact, Mr. Li could use it two more times, this wasn’t the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell after all.
Even the onlookers felt terrified; the pressure on Xuan Hong facing the spell directly was even greater.
But this time, he no longer had a treasure to defend.
Crash!
Ring.
Mr. Li admired this demon somewhat for its thick hide.
Under the Great Fire Bell Spell, it didn’t turn to ashes but only became roasted whole bear.
The fire-resistant fur, terrifying indeed!
The powerful ape breathed heavily; he knew Mr. Li was formidable but didn’t know he was this formidable. Using a treasure from the Yangli clan, Xuan Hong still couldn’t withstand two rounds under Mr. Li’s hands.
At this time, Mr. Li jumped onto the shoulder of the powerful ape, looking down at the dumbstruck bear demons, shouting: "Submit immediately, and you will be spared. Disobey, and you end up like Xuan Hong!"
In the end, some of the Profound Bear clan’s loyal followers fled, while the rest stayed.
Not for anything else, mainly because the heroic figure was so inspiring, particularly when he distributed the heavenly materials and treasures hidden by Xuan Hong among the demons, exhibiting extraordinary elegance in every gesture and move.
Mr. Li lightly obliterated Xuan Hong, and no one dared to oppose him anymore, so he called in the elders of the Profound Bear clan to arrange personnel to summon all nearby tribes.
"Hurry up, say nothing about what happened here."
The elders dared not defy, promptly instructing their trusted subordinates to gather everywhere.
The other smaller tribes like the Powerful Ape clan, seeing the Profound Bear clan’s envoys coming to call while saying nothing of the reason, shouted in their hearts, fearing it might mean increasing tribute again, yet dared not refuse because of their oppression.
A day passed, and as darkness fell, the leaders of all demon clans, including Yuan Ju and another elder from the Flying Leopard Clan, had arrived at the Profound Bear clan’s Lin Village.
They were settled in a large house, offered wine and feasts in hospitality, yet few had the mind to eat or drink, only murmuring in low voices, wondering about the sudden summon.
Yuan Ju was especially apprehensive, having not received prior instructions, fearing that Mr. Li might be killed by Xuan Hong.
Before he had more time to think, there was a noise outside, the door opened, and a figure walked in.
Sir!
Yuan Ju was overjoyed; as long as the person was fine.
Mr. Li nodded to him, walked to the seat of honor, and sat down without rushing to speak, instead clapping his hands.
At this moment, a few guards from the Flying Leopard clan entered, carrying an enormous box.
The demons were unsure of the situation, but seeing no major figures from the Profound Bear clan, they became bold, directly asking, "What does this mean? Young man, are you the one who called us here?"
Mr. Li said, "I invited you all to display something."
Yuan Ju’s heart skipped heavily; he had guessed roughly.
The other tribal leaders remained uninterested, sneering, wanting to see what he had to show.
The few Flying Leopard guards placed the wooden box down with a thud, removing the top lid.
"Hiss—"
All the leaders reacted in unison, gasping in surprise.
"Linjun!"
The demons were bewildered, not daring to make a sound, feeling the situation was extremely bizarre.
Turning their heads, they saw the one on the main seat leaning idly in his chair, speaking carelessly, "Xuan Hong has long oppressed the good and acted tyrannically here. I executed him to uphold justice."
Though the demons here were mostly simple and straightforward, with not much scheming, as leaders, those present were insightful.
Outside, the Profound Bear clan was orderly, with little sign of battle, and the guards were all present, yet Xuan Linjun was dead, leaving only one possibility.
The one sitting at the main seat had single-handedly assassinated Xuan Hong and subdued the Profound Bear tribe.
