Mo Ruxi was frozen in place at that moment, unable to express what was on her mind; her mind was a blank!
"Let's go!" At this time, Li Rui repeatedly tugged at her hand.
Perhaps Li Rui knew that if they didn't leave now, it might be too late. Flower Mother had already sacrificed herself to buy them time, and they couldn't afford to...
"I..." Mo Ruxi's eyes were filled with tears, and she stammered.
Li Rui could no longer care about anything else. He wrapped his arms around Mo Ruxi and jumped straight up.
"Aren't you leaving?" he retorted to Old Man Huo.
"Hah! This place is everything to me; whether I leave or not is irrelevant. You all need to take care of yourselves!" Old Man Huo replied with a smile.
Li Rui furrowed his brow slightly, nodded, and then summoned all the true energy within him to leave Luoying Country. Throughout the journey, Mo Ruxi didn't say a word. The latter understood how the former felt, and he himself wasn't feeling great either. But since things had already happened, what could be done?
It was better to improve his own strength. Since he was blocking the latter's path, the only option was to eliminate him!
Li Rui didn't even know how far he had flown; it must have been several thousand miles! Yet the latter never stopped, continuing eastward!
"Can we stop for a moment?" Mo Ruxi couldn't help but speak up.
Li Rui nodded lightly and then set Mo Ruxi down. The latter wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
"Let me be alone for a while," Mo Ruxi said repeatedly before turning and walking into the desolate bamboo forest.
Li Rui smiled bitterly, wanting to follow but stopped in his tracks. The other party had already spoken, and besides...
The sound of the wind howling was particularly loud. It was already close to midnight, and Mo Ruxi had not returned for four or five hours, leaving Li Rui waiting anxiously! Moreover, thinking about what had happened today, he showed no outward signs of worry.
Unexpectedly, a ray of sunlight suddenly rose, startling Li Rui. Could something have happened? It shouldn't be the case! The current location was still thousands of miles away from Luoying Country.
The more Li Rui thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He rushed towards the direction where Mo Ruxi was supposed to be but found no trace of her at all.
The latter thought that this silly girl wouldn't have gone to seek revenge on the "Shadow," would she? That would truly be disastrous.
When Li Rui activated his vision to search for traces around him, he still... perhaps the outcome was exactly what he least wanted to know!
Abandoning his wife was not something the latter would do. He immediately set off again towards Luoying Country, silently praying that this girl would not get into trouble!
Li Rui flew at an incredibly fast speed alone, and within just an hour, he arrived at the city gate of Luoying Country, only to see Mo Ruxi tied to a wooden stake.
A surge of anger rose within the latter.
"What do you want to do?"
"Hahaha! I knew you would come back."
Li Rui calmly reached behind him and raised the Water Fire Staff. It was impossible to fight to the death with him; all he could do was rescue Mo Ruxi, who was tied to the wooden stake.
But is everything really as simple as one imagines?
"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals" are certainly unavoidable, and this group of people seems to have been carefully selected by the "Shadow," with the weakest among them reaching the strength of True Immortal Level 8!
Li Rui instinctively swallowed the saliva in his mouth! His right hand had already begun to move.
"Make your move!"
Five True Immortal Level 8 experts surrounded Li Rui in a circle, while he sat on the golden chair, watching the scene as if it were a play, occasionally bursting into loud laughter.
"This won't do," Li Rui murmured, then lifted the Water Fire Staff with his left hand while his right hand moved, executing a Wind Extreme Finger that knocked one True Immortal Level 8 expert to the ground!
This moment lasted only two breaths! As Li Rui threw the Water Fire Staff, the gazes of the four others froze once again, all fixated on his weapon! Little did they expect that his hand moved once more.
"Wind Extreme Infinite Extinguish Wind Extreme!"
In an instant, three swirling columns of air coalesced in mid-air, creating an extremely spectacular scene! It seemed that only "he" could see all of this.
By the time those three reacted, they were already lying on the ground, leaving only one standing.
Li Rui certainly understood the principle of taking advantage of someone's weakness. When the Water Fire Staff fell into his hands, he executed a "Four Steps Southward Like a Wild Goose," striking at his opponent's lower body!
With a loud bang, a massive pit three zhang deep was smashed into the ground!
Seeing these five people die at his hands, the latter gasped for breath, this combo was used for the first time, and he never expected the energy consumption to be so fast.
In an instant, Li Rui let out a "puff" as blood sprayed from his mouth; everything happened too quickly for him to even react.
"You..."
"What’s wrong with me? You can do such things, so why can't I? Hahaha!"
But the situation was not over yet. With each punch and slap, Li Rui's face had already twisted and swollen, and he didn't even know what was happening; that feeling was truly something else!
Mo Ruxi looked at the beaten Li Rui, her heart twisted in a way she couldn't express.
"Stop hitting him." She could only watch him tearfully, whispering.
She thought she could awaken her previous strength once again, but this time it seemed like everything had been exhausted; nothing happened during their battle.
At this point, Li Rui was already lying on the ground; he couldn't even get up, and his words were barely coherent.
"Do you really think you're amazing? Let me tell you, there are plenty of people who are better than you, like me. If you have the guts, hit me again and see what happens."
Was Li Rui a coward? Absolutely not.
The latter held a handful of sand, gently gripping it in his palm before slowly scattering it towards his opponent.
"Good! Very good, today I will let Brother Bei Ye teach you a lesson, making it so that you can't live or die!"
As soon as the words fell, Bei Ye moved again, grabbing Li Rui's hair and forcefully pulling him up from the ground. Looking at the bloodied bruises, he rubbed sand over them, perhaps this was what they called "retribution"!
Li Rui didn't know how long he had been toyed with; time felt incredibly slow to him. When he saw Mo Ruxi's tearful face, he couldn't help but smile at her.
But this action displeased someone.
"You still dare to laugh! It's..." As he spoke, Bei Ye glanced in the direction Li Rui was looking, seemingly discovering something, and rushed over with a slap.
"Don't!"
Li Rui looked at the red handprint on his face, his expression darkening. Perhaps it was the power of love that supported him to stand up and glare fiercely at Bei Ye.
The two "curved blades" flickered for a moment, and without knowing what would happen next, little did they know that in the blink of an eye, two golden blades suddenly appeared in the space.
