My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 315: Unusual Evil Qi

Of course, Li Rui wouldn’t think that having a powerful skill like Thunder Shocking Earth in hand would mean encountering no obstacles, but it’s important to know, this place is just the first level of the Witch God Palace, and there are a total of twelve such statues.

Just one of these statues can block Thunder Shocking Earth without any external aid, which shows that the strength of monsters here is incomparable to those outside.

But what concerned him the most was that the Golden Thunder, which always suppresses Yin Sha, didn’t achieve a decisive victory as usual.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingyue also took out her true skills. She first switched to support mode and applied two buffs to enhance skill strength on Li Rui, then switched back to control mode.

Since they had earlier agreed that one person would control and the other would attack, without a unanimous decision to change the plan, she continued to act according to the original plan.

Li Rui glanced and found that Cheng Mingyue’s boosting effect was limited to four at most, but this time, three of them were switched to those related to strong attack, increasing thunder attribute damage, physical damage, and body enhancement, each by more than 30%, which was quite good for pure enhancement skills.

With this assistance, the situation immediately reversed.

Boom!!

Those stone spears and knives could no longer compete evenly with Li Rui, as Thunder Shocking Earth’s physical damage smashed them into pieces.

"Strange."

Li Rui walked to the shards of the statue, examining these stones closely, finding them to be ordinary stones, at most somewhat hard, unable to discern any particular special aspect.

"There’s no core." Xu Xiliang also pointed out the issue, "What powers these statues?"

Li Rui frowned in silence, carefully observing the stones in his hand.

During the battle, he clearly felt the statues also had a strong presence of Evil Qi, but Divine Thunder seemed to have little effect on them, which was the first time he’d encountered such a situation.

Recalling the battle process just now, he felt that the reason these statues could block Thunder Shocking Earth was not because their own strength could rival the City Patrol Ghost General, but because they were unaffected by Divine Thunder.

This meant they only needed to address the physical attack part with immense power.

But how could Divine Thunder, recognized as one of the five Thunders in the Secret Realm system, become ineffective on this offshore giant island?

"Forget it, pondering here won’t lead to answers, let’s go inside and see." He said.

After all, the real boss here is the City Lord Witch King named Huo Liu. If there’s truly any secret, everything will be clear once they meet the boss.

The other two had no objections. Since they had entered the palace, they must pass through it.

The three passed through the first major hall and came to the huge courtyard between it and the main hall at the back.

"Is that toxic gas?"

The path ahead was shrouded in yellow-brown mist, completely blocking the way, looking very ominous.

"Seems so, let me try something."

Li Rui walked to the front, raised his hands, and summoned a stream of gray-white mist.

"Is he a Rain Summoner?"

Xu Xiliang only realized at this point that the young man next to him was not in a strong attack profession, but a Rain Summoner.

In just a few words’ time, Li Rui’s mist manipulation had formed; with the enhanced command attribute, his control over the mist had greatly improved.

The gray-white mist formed an arched tunnel, piercing directly into the toxic mist.

Cheng Mingyue walked forward, switched to strong attack mode, and with a punch, an invisible shockwave shot into the tunnel, crashing through the yellow toxic gas in the middle of the mist and discharging it out the other end, revealing the half-concealed door behind.

"Quickly, let’s go."

Li Rui called for the two to pass through the mist tunnel, followed them, and then removed his mist manipulation.

Xu Xiliang felt fortunate that he didn’t insist on reporting back immediately. From when the three met until now, only a few hours had passed, and they were about to reach the final boss. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Although there were many unexplored areas in the Ghost City, taking the spoils guarded by the main boss was not a loss. At worst, they could call others later to clean up the remaining corners.

As for these two rising stars, it would be more worthwhile to let them acquire more significant rewards.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized that he might have unknowingly been "converted."

The three entered the next hall through the ajar crack in the door. The first sight was the platform at the end of the walkway, with a gilded chair on top, and then some side tables nearby, with round stools and incense burners underneath.

The arrangements here were very orderly, maintaining their original state, indicating that even after the drastic changes back then, the Demon Race residents in the city did not have the power to reach the City Lord’s palace.

"This place must be for holding court, right?"

Xu Xiliang expressed his opinion, feeling that with these two, he seemed to have no other role to play.

Li Rui said, "It should be similar to that function."

Xu Xiliang suddenly said, "Wait, look under the table, is there a need for each person to have an incense burner here?"

"....."

Li Rui suddenly had an ominous premonition, and at this moment, all the incense burners began to emit dark smoke.

"Uh....."

Countless low sighs echoed in the hall, filled with endless regret and reluctance.

Li Rui looked up, seeing many undead standing behind their tables, their crimson eyes fixed on the three.

Swish.

This situation called for no negotiation with these suddenly appearing Yin Sha, only battle.

Xu Xiliang immediately jumped back to the main entrance, drew his bow for shooting, and Cheng Mingyue joined him in position, while Li Rui charged directly into the enemy group with his golden umbrella.

Feeling the four enhancement states, Li Rui became even more valiant, using Yin Thunder Blitz, allowing poison-infused Divine Thunder to dance around the enemies.

Yet he realized again that the Evil Qi here was indeed different; though Divine Thunder still inflicted damage, it seemed merely as a thunder attribute without the function of repressing Yin Sha.

Even so, Li Rui still relied on his strength and Cheng Mingyue’s support, along with Xu Xiliang’s fire cover, to dispel all the evil spirits.

"Really impressive."

The battle ended, and Xu Xiliang sincerely praised.

Cheng Mingyue, however, said, "Feels like you weren’t as good as earlier."

Li Rui nodded, "Yeah, these creatures are a bit peculiar."

"It’s like the spell damage was a bit lower; could they have thunder element resistance?"

The two began discussing back and forth, both seemingly sensing the unusualness of the place.

Li Rui had already confirmed that the Evil Qi here was different, able to block Divine Thunder’s suppression, though he didn’t know why.

At this moment, a nearby incense burner started clanking.

The trio felt a surge of alertness, ready to attack, only to see what emerged wasn’t the dark Evil Qi, but a whiff of white smoke that finally formed into a white-haired old demon’s ghost.

"Greetings, noble heroes."
