Chapter 545: Unfathomable

The golden bowl shone with divine light, its terrifying killing power enough to overturn rivers and seas.

Yet at this moment, it could not advance even an inch.

With the stacking of infinite talismans, Li Rui had actually managed to block this terrifying strike.

Li Rui himself had never expected this.

The talismans he had originally kept as a sanctuary were not used during the great upheaval, but ended up being used at this moment.

This golden bowl magic treasure was indeed extraordinary.

But a strike equivalent to an Earth Immortal was, after all, no match for a real Earth Immortal taking action.

Strength has its limits.

The golden bowl's precious light was already far less brilliant than before.

Of course.

If one were to say that an ordinary talisman master could block this strike as long as they were well-prepared, that would be taking talisman masters too seriously and not taking the Body Integration Realm seriously enough.

Li Rui could block it.

It was because his Yin-Yang talismans were profound enough.

But more importantly, his Purple Mansion far exceeded that of cultivators in the same realm, and coupled with his endless immortal energy, he was able to exhaust the magic power imbued in the golden bowl.

Finally—

In Zhou Tong's horrified gaze.

The last bit of spirituality in the golden bowl magic treasure was wiped away, and it fell to the ground with a clatter, like ordinary iron.

"Actually... useless?!"

The shock in Zhou Tong's heart at this moment was beyond measure.

That was an Earth Immortal's strike?!

This Peace-Establishing Order of the Yu Kingdom before him was truly someone he could not see through.

Unfathomable!

Suddenly.

A flash of realization crossed Zhou Tong's eyes, and he pointed at Li Rui: "The Seven Evils were not killed by Yuan Yuan Dingting; it was you!"

How could he not understand now?

The one who killed the Seven Evils was exactly this person before him.

He couldn't help but tremble.

Strong.

Truly too strong.

In terms of strength, this Peace-Establishing Order was probably the number one Purple Mansion in the world; even in the cultivation world, he was an extremely remarkable existence.

He had kicked an iron plate today.

Zhou Tong did not dare to hesitate; since the first strike failed.

He immediately prepared to use a secret technique to retreat.

But Li Rui's movements were faster.

Following the aura of the golden bowl magic treasure, he locked onto Zhou Tong's position in an instant.

He threw a punch!

Zhou Tong was greatly alarmed.

Because Li Rui's punch was truly too bizarre; it actually interrupted his spiritual energy pathways, forcing his secret technique to be cut off.

"He wants to walk the path of verifying the Dao through strength?!"

It really was inherited.

He never expected that this Private Secretary, the Peace-Establishing Order of Gao Tianxia, would actually walk the same path as his own Private Secretary.

Who didn't know?

Verifying the Dao through strength meant invincibility within the same rank.

Once someone got close, it was a dead end.

Li Rui was only in the embryonic stage, yet he already made him unable to parry.

The gap in strength between the two sides was truly too large.

Li Rui threw a punch with an expressionless face, relying solely on his physical body to seal off all of Zhou Tong's retreat paths.

Only three punches.

Zhou Tong's right arm was blasted apart, and his physical body showed signs of shattering.

Three more punches!

All of Zhou Tong's means were smashed by Li Rui's pair of divine fists, losing all power to resist, and in the end, he could only suffer the fate of his physical body being destroyed.

A small spiritual embryo had just crawled out of the physical body.

When it saw that Li Rui had an extra rope in his hand, exactly the same as the one in his storage bag.

It was exactly the Spirit-Binding Rope!

His eyes were full of terror.

This confirmed even more that the Seven Evils had been killed by Li Rui.

He had already guessed it, but when Li Rui actually took it out and skillfully activated it with a spell, he still felt deep despair.

What is called "trapping oneself in one's own web"?

The Spirit-Binding Rope in the Seven Evils' hands was actually given by him.

Never expected.

In the end, it didn't trap Li Rui's Dao Embryo, but instead left his own spiritual embryo with nowhere to run.

A flash of golden light.

Zhou Tong's spiritual embryo was completely bound by the Spirit-Binding Rope.

A magic treasure that Zhou Tong used to suppress Dao Embryos would naturally be easy to use against his own spiritual embryo.

Seeing Zhou Tong executed.

Li Rui's mouth curled up slightly.

A great merit in hand! He didn't intend to swallow Zhou Tong's spiritual embryo, but prepared to send it to the imperial court to claim a reward.

This time the Imperial Preceptor rebelled.

Zhou Tong was his capable subordinate.

Capturing him would definitely be a great merit, and the benefits received would only be more, not less.

He hadn't even fully digested the Seven Evils yet; adding Zhou Tong was just icing on the cake, better to take him to claim credit.

The great battle subsided.

Yuan An, who had been hiding in the distance, then walked over.

Just now when the golden bowl appeared, he didn't hesitate at all; of course, it wasn't to block a blade for his master, but to fly away a full few miles.

Are you kidding?

That was a strike from the Body Integration Realm.

How could he intervene?

Rather than becoming a pond fish suffering in a fight between gods, it was better to save his own life first.

Didn't his master often say, "As long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood"?

If his master really died, he could still be a disciple to take revenge, right?

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

How could his master die!

The facts were just as Yuan An thought; Li Rui appeared extremely at ease in the face of crisis.

Li Rui looked at his quick-witted disciple with a smile: "Not bad."

Saying this.

He handed the Spirit-Binding Rope in his hand to Yuan An.

If someone didn't know, they would think he was leading a dog.

Yuan An took the Spirit-Binding Rope cautiously, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

He had already recognized.

The person killed by his master was Zhou Tong, the right-hand man of the Fifth Prince, Zhu Gan.

After Zhu Gan died.

His confidant Ben Shi was sent to the north to guard the border.

But another confidant, Zhou Tong, followed the Imperial Preceptor. However, because Zhou Tong had no official rank and was a staff member, the imperial court did not pursue him.

Never expected him to suddenly take action against his master now.

No need to think.

He must have also been rebelling with the Imperial Preceptor.

Clearing out rebels.

This was a great merit.

If an ordinary soldier obtained this merit, they could at least be made a general on the spot.

Li Rui raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just now.

Several light shadows like meteors streaked across.

Those were cultivators from the cultivation world.

Suddenly having such a large landmass appear would naturally attract the attention of cultivators from the cultivation world.

But since Wu De said it was Gu Gu Changsheng's doing.

Then presumably he must have already thought of a countermeasure.

'Brother Gu, what else are you hiding?'

Li Rui couldn't help but be even more curious.

He took a step.

Intending to take Yuan An to find Gu Gu Changsheng.

And then his footsteps paused again.

He saw lines of small characters appear before his eyes.
