Chapter 325

Heart palpitating.

Li Rui's pupils contracted slightly.

The Earth Immortal powerhouse had taken action!

The terrifying aura made the hearts of everyone on the deck almost skip a beat.

'Is this the strength of an Earth Immortal?'

Although Li Rui had seen powerhouses take action, this was the first time he had seen a battle between Earth Immortal powerhouses at such close range.

Between every move, they could stir up infinite phenomena; it was truly terrifying.

And it seemed that more than two Earth Immortals had taken action.

Ning Ning Zhongtian also felt the commotion and asked with trepidation: "Big Brother, what should we do next?"

The Blood Spirit Demons on the deck had been suppressed to a corner and did not pose much of a threat.

He was asking whether they should go to the lower deck.

Li Rui pondered for a moment.

Just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, the Blood Spirit Demons that were still crazily pouncing and killing seemed to have lost their souls, each one standing still like a wooden chicken, almost at the same instant all collapsing to the ground, emitting a suffocating stench that made people nauseous.

"We won!"

Ning Ning Zhongtian's eyes lit up.

With the Blood Spirit Demons in this state, it was clear that their side had won; otherwise, the situation would be the powerhouses from below the ship's hold walking onto the deck and slaughtering them all.

Just as a group of Anning Guard soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

A figure rushed out from the pitch-black ship hold passage.

The speed was simply too fast.

Everyone only saw a black shadow flash by.

Just as that figure was about to leap off the deck and jump into the Chijiang.

Li Rui broke his usual routine and suddenly burst forth.

Leaping off the deck almost right behind that person.

That black shadow also did not expect that someone would follow him and jump off the ship; at this time, the river water near the large ship had returned to normal, and the two of them fell into the water together with a splash.

The river water was bone-chillingly cold, and there were undercurrents.

But for martial artists like Li Rui, these were simply not problems at all.

In the water, the two were as swift and free as fish.

In an instant.

Chasing and being chased, they had already traveled a mile.

The eagle-nosed middle-aged man suddenly leaped out of the Chijiang, jumped onto the shore, and then burrowed into the mountain forest.

Li Rui followed closely behind.

As if they were mortal enemies who would not stop until one died.

A moment later.

The two arrived in a dark mountain forest.

The eagle-nosed man stopped, faced Li Rui, and spoke coldly: "Since you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish."

He had intercepted and killed the Third Princess this time.

Of course, he had made full preparations.

So he recognized Li Rui.

'A Sea-Observing martial artist, also worthy of chasing me?'

The reason he ran was that he was worried about being entangled by Li Rui and then being surrounded and killed by Nie Nie Siming.

But now he had run three or five miles.

Nie Nie Siming had not chased after him, so naturally, there were no more scruples.

Although he was seriously injured, a Primordial was still a Primordial; he was not an existence that a Sea-Observing martial artist could touch.

'I heard that this Li Rui was once someone the Xueying Laozu specifically named to be captured.'

The eagle-nosed man's mind began to become active.

If he could capture Li Rui, he could make up for his faults with his merits.

For a time, his killing intent surged.

"Go to hell."

The eagle-nosed man's mouth curled into a cruel smile.

He was just about to take action.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Only seeing Li Rui slowly draw the long blade at his waist, the powerful killing intent making the hair all over his body stand on end.

"Immortal Blade?!"

He gasped.

A Sea-Observing martial artist actually had an immortal blade.

Was this defying the heavens?!!

Li Rui's eyes were indifferent, the Dragon-Slaying blade carrying the terrifying power of the Dragon-Immortal dual forms, slashing fiercely toward the eagle-nosed man.

In the blink of an eye.

The eagle-nosed man's figure changed suddenly, his flesh beginning to swell, his skin turning into a strange blue-black color, and even horns growing out of his head.

It was clearly the Evil God Method!

The eagle-nosed man was a Primordial martial artist.

Executing the Evil God Method was even more domineering, the terrifying aura stirring up a wild wind in the mountain forest.

Seeing such a scene.

Li Rui, however, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a break from his usual routine.

Demon-Suppressing Victory.

Triggered!

The killing power of the immortal blade Dragon-Slaying suddenly surged, turning into a bright white streak, bringing a sharp sonic boom sound of breaking through the air.

The eagle-nosed man's Evil God Method came to an abrupt end.

Dragon-Slaying embedded itself into the back of the huge monster almost in an instant, the terrifying killing power extinguishing the eagle-nosed man's vitality.

There was no more obstruction.

Split in half!

Slashing a Primordial!

The two fought, and he only used one blade to kill the eagle-nosed man, without the slightest bit of sloppiness; this was the result of his hard training.

Li Rui looked at the corpse of the eagle-nosed man that had already returned to normal, quickly squatting down to search.

Very quickly.

He fished out a jade bottle from the eagle-nosed man's corpse.

He stuffed the jade bottle into his bosom.

Chasing the eagle-nosed man was specifically for this item.

With a flick of his sleeve, the eagle-nosed man's corpse suddenly disappeared, and no trace of the corpse could be seen anymore.

After finishing all this, Li Rui turned around and ran toward the original direction without looking back.

When Li Rui returned to the large ship.

The corpses of the Blood Spirit Demons on the deck had already been cleaned up, and the sky-high stench was no longer there.

Ning Ning Zhongtian and the others saw Li Rui return.

They hurriedly greeted him.

"Big Brother, you've finally returned."

Ning Ning Zhongtian saw Li Rui return safe and sound and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Tonight, Li Rui had broken his usual routine to chase the enemy.

Although it was beyond his expectations, out of trust in Li Rui, he did not have a hint of doubt, but continued to command the cleaning of the battlefield, not being too panicked.

Li Rui nodded:

(No errors in the original text, read as is!)

"How is the situation?"

Speaking of this, Ning Ning Zhongtian suddenly became interested: "It's Chen Ming; he took action to resolve tonight's crisis."

"Chen Ming?"

Li Rui's eyebrows raised slightly.

Ning Ning Zhongtian nodded repeatedly: "That Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu had great ability, actually refining two Blood Spirit clones with Earth Immortal strength; he almost succeeded. At the critical moment, Chen Ming actually took action and blew up those Blood Spirit clones."

Li Rui was a bit surprised.

He felt that the two Blood Spirit clones might not necessarily be able to kill the Third Princess; after all, Nie Nie Siming, as Yuan Yuan Dingting's adopted son, must have had trump cards.

The result had not changed.

It was just that the process was somewhat unexpected.

Who said that the wandering knights of Shu were all brainless brutes? Wasn't this Chen Ming very flexible?

It was clearly that he had joined forces with the Third Princess, Xia Yun, to act out a play.

On the surface, he had a grudge against Xia Yun.

In reality, he was a hired thug invited by Xia Yun.

The move was not high-level, but precisely because of Chen Ming's reputation in Shu, it caused the people of the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao to fall into the trap.

'What a pity.'

The Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu only dispatched two Blood Spirit clones; he was truly cautious enough.

If he had come personally.

Perhaps he could have alarmed a powerhouse of Yuan Yuan Dingting's level to take action; he even felt that Yuan Yuan Dingting might have already hidden a means to kill from ten thousand miles away on Nie Nie Siming, just waiting for the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu to appear.

Many of the twelve blood disciples under the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu had died at his hands.

Counting it up, the grudge between the two was not small.

Although he did the killing secretly, if the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu died, he could also feel more at ease.

Of course he felt it was a pity.

Just as Li Rui was pondering, Nie Nie Siming walked over.

"General Nie."

Li Rui hurriedly saluted.

Nie Nie Siming looked at Li Rui indifferently and nodded: "Well done."

In this battle, although Li Rui did not participate in the key battlefield.

But his contribution was also obvious to all.

If Li Rui hadn't taken action, how could the Blood Spirit Demons have been suppressed on the deck?

Nie Nie Siming asked: "Is that person dead?"

He was present when Chen Ming took action to blow up the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu's clone and kill or injure the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao powerhouses, so of course he saw that eagle-nosed man escape.

Just after chasing out.

He heard that Ning Zhong and Li Rui had already chased out.

Li Rui did not choose to hide it this time, but answered truthfully: "He is already dead."

There was more satisfaction in Nie Nie Siming's eyes: "Very good, my adopted father truly never misjudges people."

After finishing.

He turned around and walked toward the Third Princess Xia Yun's room.

Li Rui looked at Nie Nie Siming's back, lost in thought.

Nie Nie Siming was a smart person; the best way to deal with a smart person was not to be smart yourself.

Killed meant killed.

If he had foolishly thought he could deceive everyone and made up some clumsy lie like the eagle-nosed man had already escaped and he hadn't caught up, he would definitely have been seen through by Nie Nie Siming, and then he would have been embarrassed, or even offended Nie Nie Siming because of it.

There was a saying in his past life: sincerity is the ultimate skill.

Just as he expected.

Nie Nie Siming heard that Li Rui had killed a Primordial martial artist and was not surprised at all.

Because this kind of thing was very normal in the eyes of a genius like him.

After all, he regarded Li Rui as one of his own kind.

Since he was a monster, of course he had to be different from ordinary people.

Li Rui hadn't killed a Primordial martial artist in his prime; a Primordial who had been almost beaten to death by Chen Ming, in terms of strength, would be doing well to have twenty percent left.

It was nothing remarkable.

Of course, this was for a top-tier monster like Nie Nie Siming.

A Sea-Observing killing a Primordial was a shocking thing in any scenario.

Ning Ning Zhongtian saw Nie Nie Siming leave, only then widening his eyes to ask: "Big Brother, you killed a Primordial martial artist?"

He was perhaps one of the few people on the ship who knew the strength of that escaping Ghost Gui Ming Jiao expert.

Because just after Li Rui left, Nie Nie Siming sought him out to ask and told him.

Just now, the conversation between Nie Nie Siming and Li Rui did not avoid him, so he heard it clearly.

Li Rui nodded:

"Fourth Brother, do not spread this matter."

Ning Ning Zhongtian nodded woodenly.

The shock in his heart was already beyond measure.

Good heavens.

That was a Primordial martial artist.

My big brother actually killed a Primordial martial artist; no, this thigh must be hugged, if it really doesn't work, recognizing him as an adopted father is also fine.

Considering the age of the two, it was just right!

Just when Ning Ning Zhongtian was letting his imagination run wild.

Li Rui then looked at the panel.

Lines of small characters appeared before his eyes.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the intermediate plot of the "Famed in the Jianghu" achievement — Cross-Rank Challenge 2.】
