Li Rui naturally knew that this assassin had to die. Without thinking much, he immediately chopped off the knife in his hand and then struck with a palm to the chest.
The Masked Individuals looked astonished, as if they had never encountered such a powerful opponent. Then Li Rui made a swift turn, causing the arm of the Masked Individuals to twist along with his body, followed by a crack as the bone shattered.
The Masked Individuals let out a series of howls, having never experienced such treatment before. Usually, it was he who treated others this way, but today he had to endure this pain, feeling helpless simply because Li Rui in front of him was too fierce. Despite only using simple strength, it was enough to demonstrate his power. Outsiders could not see anything unusual; the Masked Individuals had no choice but to admit defeat. He truly fell at the hands of this seemingly ordinary person. As the saying goes, there are always greater talents outside.
After Li Rui subdued him, everyone finally regained their composure. Hu San was so frightened that wrinkles appeared on his face, but Li Rui remained calm and sat down with a smile while looking at the beautiful woman.
Hu San naturally knew that Li Rui had saved his life and felt he should thank him properly. He then asked, "What is your name?"
Li Rui smiled and briefly introduced himself, causing everyone to cast envious glances at him. Hu San's eyes lit up, "You have some skills." He patted Li Rui on the shoulder as if he held high hopes for him.
Receiving Hu San's recognition, Li Rui felt happy but also uneasy. After this incident, Hu San began to pay more attention to him. Soon after, he was inexplicably called over.
"Tomorrow, there is an important mission that requires you," Hu San said with shining eyes and then spoke calmly.
Li Rui nodded in acceptance; being recognized by the leader made him very happy. It was just going out to do something—nothing more than a bit tiring—so he thought nothing of it.
The next day, Li Rui woke up early and was fitted with a mask. This puzzled him; what was this for?
Before long, twelve other Masked Individuals arrived, all similarly masked, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
They then set off. Among this group of people, Li Rui glanced at his surroundings and noticed that they were all like him, making him increasingly curious.
Continuing to walk, feeling parched and dry, they had to keep going. The path was difficult, mostly mountainous, and sometimes they had to cross the Xiexi River and other streams, leaving Li Rui completely soaked.
Eventually, they arrived at a mysterious mountain range. Li Rui did not know the name of the mountains before him, but they looked quite spectacular, rolling and undulating. Without stopping, the group continued onward.
"How much longer until we arrive?" Li Rui finally couldn't help but ask. At this moment, his back was already drenched, sticky and uncomfortable.
The guide indicated that they were almost there. Li Rui sighed deeply, then restrained his temper and followed along.
Finally, a dilapidated Temple appeared before them. It was something from hundreds of years ago; the wooden posts were barely holding up, and everything was covered in a grayish hue with years of accumulated dust. Li Rui looked on with disdain and couldn't help but question, "What is this for?"
The others said nothing and entered the Temple, walking onto a very clean Stone Platform inside. With questions in mind, Li Rui stepped onto the Stone Platform as well. Suddenly, one person inadvertently triggered a mechanism with a hand, and instantly the Surroundings erupted in golden light.
Li Rui was puzzled; the golden light grew stronger and surrounded him completely, turning the air into a golden hue. Then in an instant, the scene before him changed.
"The town has finally arrived," one person said casually.
At that moment, Li Rui realized that the earlier Stone Platform was a teleportation array. The place before him was what they referred to as a town.
There were many people in front of him selling various strange items. As Li Rui approached to take a look, he quickly observed the situation.
This was what was called an Underground Trading Market; everyone here had their faces covered.
Then Li Rui followed twelve people to a shop that was "closed up tight." It looked like an ordinary store at first glance. Li Rui briefly surveyed it; the door was closed—was it not doing business? Just as he wondered about this, one of them asked, "Did you bring the gold medal?"
"Of course I brought it, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip," said another person, who then took out a shiny golden medal from his pocket, glimmering in the sunlight. He stepped forward and placed the medal on the door.
With a clink, it sounded like a key unlocking a lock, and the door opened.
"You've arrived; I've been waiting for a long time," the boss said with a friendly and polite demeanor. Behind him were several strange burlap sacks, which, if Li Rui guessed correctly, were likely the goods.
So this is how magical it is, Li Rui became even more curious. Then he saw one of the people step out and pull out a large amount of cash from his pocket. The sight of the crisp bills made the boss's eyes light up.
"Count it," the man handed the money to the boss, who smiled with trust. "Hey, we're all regular customers; no need to count."
Soon everyone began to carry the goods and prepare to leave. Li Rui also carried a sack of items, but the strange smell made Li Rui quite annoyed. Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Li Rui opened a small opening in the sack and found unfamiliar medicinal materials inside. Li Rui guessed that these must be other ingredients for making ammunition. Suddenly everything became much clearer; they had come to purchase materials for manufacturing ammunition, fearing that they might encounter danger along the way, so they had brought him along for protection.
Li Rui smiled; Hu San really was clever. The group then walked together, retracing their steps while carrying what didn't feel too heavy. After passing through a dazzling golden light, they returned to the dilapidated Temple.
Li Rui looked at the mysterious Stone Platform, which truly seemed powerful and rare; such a large teleportation stone was indeed uncommon. They returned along the rugged mountain path, which made Li Rui feel increasingly frustrated, but he persevered silently. Li Rui was not someone who would give up halfway, so he kept walking and joking with those around him, completely forgetting about the mysterious medicinal materials and their unpleasant odor. Eventually, he returned happily...
