A round moon hung high in the sky, and at this moment, Li Rui and Ruo Xin were sitting under the moonlight, chatting and laughing, creating an extremely warm atmosphere. However, as a cool breeze swept by, an ominous premonition spread from head to toe.
"Who?" Li Rui couldn't help but ask.
Mo Ruxi and Ruo Xin seemed to sense something, yet they were unaware of each other's state. Little did they know that three dark shadows had landed on the ground, letting out three bursts of laughter.
"You all seem quite happy. Have you figured out how to take a beating?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Li Rui replied with a smile, not taking these three mudfish seriously, especially with Mo Ruxi, who was at the God Binding stage, by his side.
The two were merely at the fifth level of God Binding; what kind of waves could they possibly stir?
In the midst of their conversation, Li Rui had already engaged in battle with the three.
Even these three had not anticipated Li Rui's strength. A killing intent had already arisen in their hearts; if this person was not eliminated today, he would become a significant obstacle in the future.
Little did they know that in the blink of an eye, the three had landed and surrounded Li Rui from three dead angles, thrusting their blades into the ground.
"Open the Yang Eye!" "Open the Yin Eye!" "Open the Death Gate!" With three loud shouts, Li Rui's brows furrowed tightly; he had never expected such tactics.
His body felt somewhat twisted as if it were burdened by immense weight; it must be a gravity formation—he hadn't anticipated feeling like he weighed millions of pounds.
Seeing the situation was dire, Mo Ruxi acted quickly, striking at the position of the one who had invoked the Death Gate. The latter underestimated her strength despite her being just a small shrimp.
In an instant of explosive power, a dark energy surged into his body. It was too late to adjust his breathing; his Dantian became congested. With a "pfft," a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and he flew away like a kite with its string cut.
"You..."
Li Rui did not give him a chance to speak. As soon as the gravity array was broken, he charged straight up and struck him with a palm.
With a loud bang, perhaps from this moment on, that person would no longer exist.
Li Rui began to realize that he had killed someone, and moreover, he had done so within the sect. It felt somewhat inappropriate, but he only thought about it briefly. Why had the other party provoked him time and again?
The opponent wanted to put him in a deadly situation; why should he not want the same?
"Dog!" The two survivors shouted at him with all their might. No matter how they yelled, it was impossible to bring the dead back to life. Little did they know that at this moment, their eyes were filled with hatred as they looked at Li Rui, as if he were their father's murderer.
However, Li Rui's gaze was filled with disdain. With their leader dead, what could these two insignificant ones do?
"Are we leaving?"
"Hmm? You think you can just walk away after causing trouble here? You really don't take me seriously!" As he spoke, Li Rui gathered his energy and pointed his fingers like a gust of wind, causing both of them to fall to the ground immediately.
"What do you still want to do?"
"Dead people can't talk," Li Rui replied with a smile.
At this moment, Li Rui raised his right hand, channeling the true energy within his body, ready to strike down both of them.
Who would have thought that at this time, three coughs echoed out. This...
Li Rui furrowed his brow slightly but did not move. He circulated his true energy around his eyes but found nothing unusual. However... at this moment, he realized that it was impossible to kill the two of them; he could only stop and listen to what the person in the void wanted to express.
"Li Rui, you have quite the nerve! How dare you kill someone here in the sect."
"Haha! Others want to take my life, so why shouldn't I want the same? Especially since he committed the crime in my territory."
At this, the Grand Dean was taken aback; there was some logic to it, yet he was unsure of what to think.
"I'll take these two with me." With that, he tossed out a sentence and left.
Li Rui let out a bitter laugh. The Grand Dean had already taken action; what could he do? It was truly...
Ruo Xin stood by, dumbfounded, completely unaware of what had happened. It was the first time she had seen such a bloody side of Li Rui, killing the opponent without any chance of retreat.
In contrast, Mo Ruxi seemed unfazed, as if it were just an everyday occurrence.
"It seems I need to improve my strength. I can't let them pull too far ahead."
When Ling Yun learned that Li Rui was not dead and that someone had died at his hands, he was furious and nearly drew his knife to rush out, only to be held back by those two "lost dogs."
"Brother Yun! No! The Grand Dean has issued an order; we can't touch the newcomers for three months. Besides... this is..."
"Enough! Three months, huh? Let's see how long you can last."
Ling watched Ling Yun's seething anger with great satisfaction; the more furious he became, the greater the chance that Li Rui would die.
Li Rui's strength at the fifth level of True Immortal seemed poised to rise. Through these recent battles, a clear power surged wildly into his Dantian from his sea of consciousness; this feeling was truly unprecedented.
However, Li Rui pondered one thing: Ruo Xin seemed to remain stuck at the first level of True Immortal. From what he heard, that girl seemed quite formidable, but when compared to himself, it was really...
This time, Li Rui wasn't just entering seclusion; he also spent a significant amount of time refining pills. He hadn't even anticipated that in this aspect, his Primordial Spirit seemed to have grown even stronger. Perhaps he could...
Half a month passed in a hurry, but when Li Rui pushed the door open, he looked refreshed, and the heavy ring on his hand had become much more saturated. During this time, he needed to find a place to refine pills to improve his alchemy skills.
Li Rui had already sensed that during battles, these pills seemed to become more effective over time. Fortunately, when he was in Fengzhou, he had collected a lot of medicinal materials, and they were high-quality ones. As long as he... everything would come together naturally.
As Li Rui was lost in thought, he couldn't help but smile foolishly. Mo Ruxi happened to see him in this state and rushed over, worried that he might have gone mad!
"What are you doing?" Mo Ruxi asked, awkwardly touching him. Li Rui repeatedly pushed her away and retorted.
"I thought you were... you know!"
Li Rui gave a bitter smile; perhaps he had been too excited by his thoughts just now.
"By the way, the dean just came looking for you. It seems there’s something important; you should hurry over."
"You reached the second layer of the Divine Connection? So fast! What happened?" Just as Li Rui was about to leave, he noticed the changes in Mo Ruxi and couldn't help but exclaim.
