Perhaps Li Rui himself did not know where he was, but he could feel that the speed of his descent was gradually slowing down. Strangely, he was able to breathe underwater; he must have sunk to a considerable depth by now.
This situation surprised him as much as it did anyone else. Little did they know, in the next moment, it felt as if his feet had stepped on something.
Li Rui understood that it must be something in the water. Given this situation, perhaps it was...
As he pondered, the surroundings gradually brightened. Li Rui distinctly remembered not having ignited any fire, and there was nothing around that could provide illumination.
The area was empty; there was nothing at all. Looking up, he confirmed it was indeed the water's surface, though the environment felt somewhat different.
"Buddy, we meet at last."
The voice came from all directions, startling Li Rui. The only thing he found puzzling was that while the voice was clear, no one appeared. He nearly spat out blood in frustration.
Just as Li Rui intended to draw his Water Fire Staff for defense, he realized that the Water Fire Staff was nowhere to be found. He distinctly remembered holding it in his hand! He had kept it behind him during his fall; what could have possibly happened? He was utterly confused.
"Why don't you come out if we’re meeting? Are you afraid of being seen?" Li Rui scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.
He had always hated this feeling from the start, and now this situation had unfolded! What exactly did they want to perform in front of Li Rui?
Although Li Rui had improved significantly here, it felt as if something was watching him from behind, leaving him helpless and extremely frustrated.
"Defeat him, and I will come out to meet you."
Li Rui frowned. Who was this person he needed to defeat? During their conversation, the latter stood frozen in place. Wasn't this Helmsman? How could he appear here? According to the mad old man, he should have been dead!
No, it should just be a soul without any consciousness, like a machine.
From Li Rui's investigation, he learned that this person's cultivation level was merely at the Core Formation stage; they must have entered here before! Without his Water Fire Staff, Li Rui wondered if he could even fight against him.
"You wouldn’t dare keep my weapon from me!" Li Rui knew someone had set a trap to take his weapon away; most likely it was the one who had spoken.
However, given the current situation, Li Rui had to face the changes head-on. Everything seemed very ethereal; it felt as if anything could happen.
They did not speak, their gazes locked in confrontation. Suddenly, the General Helmsman moved, leaving a shadow in place as his real body arrived right in front of Li Rui.
Neither of them had weapons, and in the blink of an eye, Li Rui sidestepped this attack.
Yet he felt unusually frustrated; everything seemed a bit bizarre. Why had his movements suddenly become so slow? He could clearly see the General Helmsman's fist, and when he dodged, it was just a millisecond too late!
His heart raced wildly, and he himself was unsure of the current situation.
The General Helmsman saw that his fist had not hit Li Rui and launched another attack, this time much faster than before! Li Rui was taken aback, completely unaware of what was happening.
He had already dodged that punch; why did it suddenly hit him in the abdomen? Fortunately, his abdominal muscles were strong enough to withstand it by forcing out true energy from his Dantian, but he hadn’t expected the force to be so great.
He couldn't help but spit out a couple of mouthfuls of blood. It was truly frustrating; Li Rui felt helpless! What else could he do but grit his teeth and charge forward to engage him?
At this point, there were no techniques available; all he could rely on was a struggle between strength and speed.
Li Rui felt most frustrated; every punch he threw never landed on his opponent, while every punch from the General Helmsman struck him directly. The pain was far beyond what he had imagined.
Fortunately, his body was tough enough; otherwise, he might have fallen apart by now.
Li Rui had to take a step back, gasping for breath, glaring fiercely. Little did he know that the General Helmsman gave him no chance at all, landing punch after punch on his body.
Blood spurted out repeatedly; Li Rui was now in an extremely dire state, unable to make sense of the situation. Forget about throwing punches; even standing up was becoming increasingly difficult.
Li Rui was truly exhausted; without a weapon in hand, his combat effectiveness had been reduced by fifty percent.
Moreover, the strength of someone at the Core Formation stage should not be underestimated. Reaching the level of the General Helmsman meant that his predictive abilities were not something an ordinary person could possess. He couldn’t muster even a hint of technique.
Li Rui slowly closed his eyes. Despite feeling incredibly unwilling, another part of him kept telling him: Could it be that he would fall here? But there were still many things left undone!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, an inexplicable surge of determination suddenly flooded into Li Rui's body. It was truly...
In the next second, Li Rui's eyes snapped open. Facing the incoming fist, he swiftly drew out his left hand to block it forcefully!
The General Helmsman saw the situation and seemed to feel a sense of unease. His expression suddenly changed, and little did they know that in the next second, Li Rui swung his right hand! A loud bang echoed as he struck the Helmsman in the face, sending him flying ten meters away.
The General Helmsman staggered to his feet. It seemed that Li Rui's punch hadn't used much strength!
"How could I forget this? It's really... no matter how tough he is, he's just a shell! He doesn't have real physical strength; just wearing him down is enough, and he even took one of my punches," Li Rui murmured.
Once again, his aura surged forth. Even though his body was extremely fatigued, he still remembered to hold on. What was there to fear?
Then Li Rui charged towards the General Helmsman, and the two became entangled once more.
As expected, this time Li Rui's fists were able to reach the Helmsman's body with a few strikes, while the Helmsman's strength was diminishing more and more, eventually feeling like mere tickling.
However, this made Li Rui incredibly happy; he had never expected such an outcome.
Yet the Helmsman grew increasingly fatigued, while Li Rui became more and more courageous. He sensed that the opponent's strength was about to be exhausted. Little did they know that he was about to unleash his strongest strike, betting all his power on it.
