Chapter 505: The Divide Between Immortal and Mortal Paths

Bang, bang, bang!

In the dense fog, the prison gate seemed to have been kicked open, and no one dared to go up and check it out.

"Open fire!"

With a command from the guard on the high wall, the machine guns roared.

But obviously, such a thing was hard to deal with the mysterious creature in the fog.

With a booming sound, everything returned to silence.

Xue Can drew his sword and threw the sheath on the ground, ready for a great enemy.

The other captured prisoners were all silently retreating, after all, to be imprisoned here, one must be at least level 50 or above, and they could understand a fight was about to break out.

"Who are you?"

Xue Can, holding his longsword, looked at the figure walking out from the fog and asked almost sternly.

"Sect Master Xue, do you still remember me?"

Li Rui's figure appeared, unarmed, with empty hands.

Xue Can's vigilance did not drop in the slightest, instead, it elevated even more.

He knew this person was Zuo Qiutian's major hidden danger, not tolerating the slightest bit of neglect.

"Of course, I remember. Brother Li, how have you been lately?"

Li Rui twisted his wrist, looking as if he was warming up before a physical education class.

"Not so good. A group of bandits have come to burn, kill and loot at my doorstep, causing great losses."

Xue Can said, "I apologize."

"Oh."

Li Rui finished flexing his limbs, clenched his fists, "It seems you already have a realization. If I kill you, you would not hold a grudge, would you, Sect Master Xue?"

"Of course not."

Xue Can raised his longsword level, his entire being like a mountain, flawless.

Li Rui still didn't draw a weapon, fixed his gaze on the opponent, and activated the mythical skill unlocked through the Five Thunders Skill.

Everyone in the prison felt a shiver down their spine.

They couldn't see the thing in the fog, intuitively it felt like a terrifying creature from the depths of the universe was staring at them.

If their Extraordinary Power wasn't sealed, they would probably need to find a favorable terrain to stay vigilant, ready to strike with their most powerful skill no matter what change occurs.

At this moment, Xue Can was under even more pressure than others.

He gazed incredulously at the person in front of him, even that ever-stable Sword Intent began to shiver.

"You, have you been to the Upper Realm?"

His voice and Sword Intent were shaking alike.

"Why?"

After activating this mythical Thunder God's True Form, Li Rui did not transform into the three-headed six-armed form as he had imagined, only a few flashes of lightning appeared in his eyes.

The true Thunder Skill was hidden within the body, not apparent outside, if there's any change in the body, it would be the skin becoming a bit better.

But more importantly, was that aura marking the divide between mortal and divine, anyone could clearly feel it.

It was as if a born noble had suddenly barged into a slum, completely out of place no matter what attire worn or behavior shown.

A drop of sweat slid down Xue Can's temple.

"Today I will be buried here."

Li Rui frowned: "Even so, you want to fight me?"

"Brother Li, my actions, are not for personal gain alone, this body is not worth sparing."

For some reason, Li Rui felt a bit angry.

He blinked his eyes, flashed a trace of bloodlight, and in a true instant, or rather at the same moment, he appeared beside Xue Can.

The latter was shocked beyond belief, he couldn't react, the speed was too fast.

Clang!

But Xue Can, after all, underestimated himself, as a top Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Continent, before his mind formed a complete thought, his body already began to move ahead.

So Li Rui's punch did not directly break his bones, but landed on his sword.

Yet.

Li Rui in a certain mystical state seemed completely different from the past.

This punch landed on the longsword, causing a circle of restrained vibrations, after the explosion, Xue Can vanished.

Not escaping with Body Technique or teleportation, but knocked flying with a punch, crashing into the prison wall.

Li Rui moved again, after catching up, delivered another punch towards the wall embedded with a person.

Boom.

The wall collapsed.

Xue Can stood on the empty ground nearby, gasping heavily, cold sweat mixed with bloodstains on his body.

Just after two brief encounters, he used all his strength, if he was any slower, he would already be dead on the spot.

But before he could smooth out his breath, he heard a cracking sound from behind.

Xue Can was already desperate, there was actually a Spell waiting, such an opponent, he absolutely could not withstand alone.

Is this the power of the Upper Realm...

He felt his conviction grew even firmer.

Such conviction dispelled his despair, even motivated him to turn around and slash out a sword strike.

What?

Turning back he only saw a small spark of electricity jumping behind, it was a diversion.

At that moment the actual Li Rui approached head-on, just as swift as before.

Poof!

The Yin Yang Umbrella pierced through Xue Can's chest.

"This...you, please do not stop, Mr. Zuo."

Xue Can only had time to leave such a sentence.

Whoosh——

A gust of wind blew through, within seconds, all the fog dispersed.

The people in the prison who were initially on guard now all saw the two figures, one dead, one alive, beneath the wall.

Nobody uttered a cry of surprise, they were all stunned, no one expected, that the defending Xue Can of this prison would be taken out in just a few breaths.

The more terrifying point was, there wasn't much commotion during the process.

Being shocked, they forgot one question, which was how the dense fog was dispelled, until layers of ice crystals appeared around Li Rui, enclosing him like a leaking iron barrel.

Whoosh whoosh!

The avatars of four divine beasts appeared, sealing down from four directions.

They utilized two top-tier Spells only to control Li Rui, who had just ended Xue Can's life.

Until they were sure to have trapped him within the Ice Crystal Barrier and Four Symbols Seal, a beam of light descended from the sky, engulfing the figure in the formation.

Song Yao frowned tightly, now he wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person, without the capacity to stop it.

He could see, that not only did the Ice Crystal Barrier have a controlling effect, but it also locked in the energy that escaped from the beam, letting them rebound within the formation, inflicting damage repeatedly, the Four Symbols Seal surely added increased damage.

Being hit by a combined attack of such grade, never mind level 70, even level 90 might not survive.

But.....

Bang bang bang!

The crimson-golden light of the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell manifested in another direction, this was proof that Li Rui was completely unaffected by the combination of these spells.

"I've been wanting to ask, what's the principle behind his skill that seems to reverse time?"

Simon spoke with a hint of envy.

Song Yao chuckled dryly: "Isn't it possible, that the principle of reversing time is simply the reversal of time?"
