This is nothing compared to what happened next. Suddenly, several bandits appeared in front of Li Rui, numbering at least ten! Each of them had strength around the level of Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity, with the most formidable among them having one foot in the Dharmakaya realm! Li Rui let out a bitter laugh; it was surprising that someone at the Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity level had fallen to being a highwayman in the Multiverse. It seemed this place was truly extraordinary! And the person who had just used the Seven-Colored Cloud technique—what kind of power did they possess?
Li Rui clenched his fists. Ultimately, it was still about his own strength. If he was strong enough, did he need to worry about these flashy tricks? He could just throw a punch.
"Hey! Leave your heavy rings behind, and you can go," one of the bandits said.
"Oh! Do you really think you’re that impressive?" Li Rui replied with a smile. Although he had just stepped into the Dharmakaya realm, when he was at the Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity level, those at the Dharmakaya level were nothing but clowns in front of him! Of course, that situation required synchronization between weapons and techniques, but now he had already entered the Dharmakaya realm.
"You thought my words were just wind in your ears? You’re asking for trouble!"
After saying that, five or six people charged toward Li Rui while a few others observed from behind, seemingly just a simple distraction.
The latter grinned; they really thought they could take him down—how naive!
If he were still at the Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity level without a weapon, he would have to think twice about fighting them. But now that he had firmly stepped into the Dharmakaya realm, their speed flickered before his eyes. They wouldn’t be able to escape; he could easily send one flying!
Li Rui deliberately exposed a few weaknesses; this situation wasn’t something these clowns could play with!
He freed his hands, counted the number of opponents—ten fingers for ten people! With a single Wind Extreme Finger technique unleashed, a series of whooshing sounds echoed as those ten were sent flying like kites with severed strings.
Now only three remained: two at the Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity level and one who had half a foot in the Dharmakaya realm!
Both sides were locked in a standoff; perhaps they would move in the next second. It seemed these three were communicating through their gazes, creating a rather comical scene!
Li Rui didn’t care about their antics and charged straight at the two at the Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity level. Compared to him, their speed was truly on an entirely different level! They didn’t even have time to react, let alone fight back.
"Wait! The Law Realm we robbed earlier couldn’t possibly be this strong! And this guy looks like he's only at the first layer of Dharmakaya; he must be at least five layers above!"
Li Rui couldn't help but smile inwardly at the thought. Here he was, without a weapon, and if he had one, what would happen?
At that moment, he was momentarily stunned as two henchmen from Transformation to the Pinnacle of Divinity grabbed his arms and legs, seemingly trying to pin him to the ground! Meanwhile, a Highwayman who had stepped into the Law Realm took advantage of this opportunity and charged at Li Rui, aiming a punch directly at his face!
Li Rui could sense the power behind that punch, which also carried a hint of fire attribute. It seemed that this punch had taken a long time for him to master!
But they would soon regret their actions because the person they were dealing with was Li Rui.
"Did you really think the person you tied up was me?" Li Rui said as he patted the Highwayman who threw the punch, laughing.
This startled him greatly, and before he could react, Little did they know that in an instant, he had already knocked both henchmen to the ground without giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Li Rui slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the Highwaymen felt fear. They had never seen such a gaze before; just one look was enough to fill them with unprecedented despair.
"Don't kill our leader! He's a good person!" Suddenly, one of them shouted.
This...
Li Rui was slightly taken aback. What was this guy talking about? He came to rob him and then claimed he was a good person? The situation was somewhat ridiculous!
Li Rui chuckled, his eyes still not releasing the black flames to incinerate them!
"I'd like to hear how you define being a good person."
"I... I..." One after another, noisy voices echoed in Li Rui's ears!
"Enough! How exactly is your leader a good person?"
The one who stepped out was the same person who had just thrown a punch at Li Rui. He didn't dare to speak, not even lifting his head, let alone looking into Li Rui's eyes. The inexplicable fear he felt was beyond words.
"We are the villagers of these two villages! We gather together to uphold justice!"
Li Rui couldn't help but laugh; it was surprising that such a thing existed. Was this so-called "upholding justice" actually about robbing money?
This was awkward, and in the next moment, Li Rui's expression changed slightly. In the Multiverse, even a few random individuals were at the Transformation Realm level, and there were certain authorities governing this area, which had two factions.
One of these factions was responsible for civil affairs, and their leader had just been dispatched from above, representing a branch of the Holy Light Dynasty.
The Holy Light Dynasty was the ruler of the entire Multiverse, operating under such a name and doing as they pleased within it. Their overall strength wasn't particularly strong, but they had a mysterious powerhouse behind them, ensuring the rise and fall of the Holy Light Dynasty for five hundred years.
Li Rui chuckled; he had never heard of this before! He understood the general idea: someone had been sent down from above to take charge, using the name of the Holy Light Dynasty to engage in some unsavory activities.
"For example?" Li Rui frowned slightly.
"My name is Yang Wang. I originally studied under a Master to learn skills, hoping to develop in a good place in the future! Our Bing Lai Pavilion has never had any conflict with this Holy Light Dynasty. However, this newcomer came in with great force and declared that all factions must submit to them; otherwise, it would mean annihilation. My sect is experiencing this firsthand..."
"How can I trust you? I'm just a single Law Realm individual; I can't do much against them," Li Rui spread his hands. He genuinely wanted to help but felt frustrated by his limitations!
Finding Red Ghost might be possible, but she was a woman; seeking help from her wasn't as straightforward as it would be for Li Rui. Moreover, the matters involving the Holy Light Dynasty were far more complex than he had imagined.
The leader then took out a piece of parchment. Upon seeing the text on it, Li Rui instantly became furious. This was indeed a case of officials oppressing the people, forcing them to revolt! And according to what they said...
"What is their strongest power level?" Li Rui asked with a slight frown.
"About one layer of people!"
Li Rui had previously spent time with the Old Monster of the Realization Realm, and now he had a rough idea of the opponent's strength. Defeating him was uncertain, but causing some trouble was definitely possible!
"Are you willing to join me in causing some trouble? I can guarantee that everyone will be able to retreat safely."
"We can form an alliance and expand our influence here; perhaps we can even overthrow the local powers!" As soon as this voice fell, almost everyone agreed, and Yang Wang couldn't help but speak up.
Li Rui indeed had such an idea. Coming here alone and then forming his own force was a good choice.
"Let Young Hero be the leader of this alliance!"
"My name is Li Rui. Since we are meeting for the first time and have the fate to come together to overthrow these evil forces, let's call it the Tongfu Alliance!"
"Tongfu? Sharing blessings and facing difficulties together sounds great! I support it!"
Voices from the surroundings came one after another. Li Rui was very pleased to see this scene; he had never thought he would mix with a group of Highwaymen, and yet...
However, Li Rui first established a rule that no one was allowed to use extreme methods to rob others' belongings. This voice received everyone's approval; if it weren't for life's pressures, they wouldn't want to resort to such actions!
