He finally understood why he directed such a magnificent play: it was because deep in his heart, he craved battle, he craved release, he craved blood. And here, he would unleash it all!
With the long knife in hand, he slashed and struck, driven by the instincts buried deep within his body, engaging in a brutal fight with the elite of the Han Army. Blood flew everywhere, severed limbs scattered around, yet no matter how much the enemies attacked him, Li Rui remained unscathed! Facing terrifying foes was not frightening; facing enemies a hundred times stronger was not frightening either. But facing someone who simply could not be killed filled the hearts of the spear-wielding soldiers with dread.
The screams echoed endlessly as Li Rui stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with no one daring to approach within two meters. He continued to swing his large knife, severing arms and decapitating heads. His body was already drenched in the blood of his enemies, and his eyes were bloodshot from the gruesome scene before him.
Time passed without him noticing, and Li Rui could no longer wield the long knife. He fought while retreating, leaving behind a trail of enemy corpses. At this moment, no one dared to advance; the terrifying figure and the skulls behind him had lost their usual allure. The Boss stared blankly at his bloody silhouette for a long time before Skull shouted:
"Good! As expected of my Ammunition Disciple! I will assist you; let’s kill more Dog Thieves to honor our fallen brothers!"
The two stood together in a supportive stance, and for a while, the massive enemy forces could not approach.
Across from them, Brain furrowed his brow tighter as he looked at the unexpectedly formidable duo and suddenly waved his left flag.
Li Rui saw the person sitting far away waving the flag, and immediately a group of archers rushed out behind him. He thought to himself that this was bad; there was no time to think further. He turned to face Skull and said solemnly:
"Skull, this is urgent; if we don't leave now, we might really be trapped!"
Skull bitterly smiled; how could they leave with hundreds of thousands of enemies before them? Killing more enemies was already the best outcome!
Li Rui knew that Skull must have doubts about their escape now, but he still had use for him. Thus, he had no choice but to turn back and pull out a prepared reed, handing it to Skull.
"You hold the reed in your mouth to breathe; there's a long rope on the riverbank. If we pull on it, we can reach the other side. They have no boats and definitely won't catch up with us. Don't worry about me; I am invulnerable to blades and arrows. When the time comes, I will block arrows for you!" With that said, without waiting for a response, he grabbed Skull and jumped into the water.
As Brain was about to issue orders, he suddenly became furious and urgently commanded the archers to draw their bows. Countless arrows shot into the vast river, disappearing without a trace.
There is no free lunch in this world, a truth that Li Rui had known for a long time. Unfortunately, lost in the recent tenderness and comfort of life, he seemed to have become increasingly lax in his vigilance.
Every time he saw the room where Wang Rui used to stay, he would recall the determination he once had. However, he could not bring himself to harm an innocent person. Li Rui questioned his own ability to do so. He still had a soft heart, but even though he knew that Wang Rui's death had nothing to do with him, Li Rui was still filled with unease and guilt. He began to settle down and temporarily refrained from any large-scale activities, hoping to gradually dull the sharpness of his past. However, reality often does not go as one wishes.
After Wang Rui's tragic death, while he was still immersed in feelings of shame and nervous dizziness, Shunzi hurriedly found him, claiming to have seen Dezi sneaking around and meeting someone close to Boss. This made him feel uneasy today.
Instinctively sensing trouble, Li Rui was plagued by an inexplicable sense of crisis. He decided to take decisive action against those he knew had been bribed or harbored malicious intentions over the past month. Yet when he saw them working hard on the tasks assigned to them, his heart softened once again.
What could he do with them anyway? Kill them? Such a cold-hearted act was something Li Rui could not bring himself to do. Rather than driving them away, it would be better to keep them close by so that he could monitor them at any time. Li Rui reassured himself with this thought.
In contrast, ever since Wang Rui's tragic death, everyone seemed to have received a shock of a thousand points. No one dared to engage in any suspicious behavior; it was as if all news about him had vanished into thin air within this Ammunition.
Recalling the tragic and painful sight of Wang Rui's death filled Li Rui with a sense of the world's peculiarities.
Touching the Lantian Jade Pendant hanging around his neck, he could clearly see that half of it was missing. When he took out the other half of the pendant, he was visibly surprised and revealed a complex expression. He originally thought it would take some effort to obtain it, but who would have thought this was the token mentioned in legends?
This time, Qilin had achieved great merit, and Li Rui decided to reward it well later. Ha ha! Just thinking about how Boss always believed he was "so close" to capturing Qilin, only to be injured at the last moment and feeling utterly frustrated made him laugh.
Having obtained the token, Li Rui decided to check on the situation again. However, for safety's sake, he deliberately drew a face on himself.
After Wang Hui's death, Li Rui began to act more cautiously; otherwise, if there were any movements from him, Skull would become suspicious. About half a month later, Li Rui secretly left for the Mountain Range. After circling around without finding the token, he realized he couldn't enter. So, he sent the Qilin Beast to steal the token from Skull.
Finally, Li Rui came to protect Skull and engaged in a battle with the Qilin Beast. During the fight, the Qilin Beast "injured" Li Rui, but he was actually unhurt and just pretending. He secretly handed the token to Li Rui, who feigned recovery and sneaked out at night. Disguised, he wore a mask and went to the Underground Trading Market. The items here dazzled Li Rui for a moment, and after spotting something he liked, a man resembling a merchant approached him.
The man picked up an item and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
The man raised his hand to signal five. Li Rui thought it meant five hundred taels, which seemed reasonable. He was about to buy it when he had already spoken halfway, saying, "Five hundred taels, right? I'll buy..." only to realize something was off. But by then, it was too late.
