Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 205 Ruthless and Cunning (Three updates for monthly pass votes)

"Lin Twelve?"

Zhang Chen, the Deputy Investigating Censor, felt his face darken and was hit with a headache, thinking, why is it this guy?

He snorted coldly and retraced his steps back the way he had come.

Zhang Chen had come here solely to confirm the identity of the person in hiding, with no intention of engaging in a life-or-death battle just yet.

Moreover, the person in question was Lin Twelve, a savage and shameless butcher.

Due to the previous prison break, the Investigating Censorate was currently unable to do much about this man.

Untouchable and unbeatable in a quarrel, he was like a hedgehog.

At the same time, Zhang Chen felt a secret alarm.

Lin Twelve had the "Hundred Thousand Li Flying Letter"?

How could that be possible?

According to their investigations, this man used to be just a constable who gained the favor of the Zhuang family's young mistress. After repeatedly defeating the men under Prince Han, he caught the eye of the Sand Isles Protector and rose rapidly in status.

Where did this guy get the Hundred Thousand Li Flying Letter?

The Heavenly Demon in the distance and 'Fiery Skies' Zhou Changgong, upon witnessing this scene, both showed a hint of disappointment.

Each of them held no small grudge against Lin Rui, especially Zhou Changgong, who was incensed to realize his clan's self-immolation and the joint warrant issued by the county yamen and the Imperial Clan Court.

Zhou Changgong, now slow as he was, noticed that things were looking grim.

The collection of corrupt officials in Wang City were despicable to the core, plotting to conspire against him and doom him!

Therefore, he longed for the Investigating Censorate to clash with Lin Twelve and hoped at best that they could directly slaughter him.

Unfortunately, that Zhang Chen was a coward who retreated back without uttering a word.

At this moment, Lin Rui no longer hid himself, and rose into the air alongside Blood Blade Ji Xueying, landing before the dense forest.

Blood Blade Ji Xueying took charge of levitating while holding onto his shoulder armor, while Lin Rui, with his hands poised and bearing an air of casual grace, descended.

The numerous Cultivators from the Jianghu gathered here all cast envious looks upon his skill.

They whispered among themselves in hushed tones.

"Is this the legendary Empress-level Blood Blade Ji Xueying? Levitating for more than ten miles, she must be close to the Fifth Realm, right?"

"Don't know, but she looks so powerful, inscrutable!"

"My spiritual senses tell me that Blood Blade Ji Xueying's presence feels like the sun; could it be that she has already made a breakthrough?"

"Impossible, right? The intelligence stated that Blood Blade Ji Xueying lost control a few months ago when she was only at the early stage of the Fourth Realm; how could she advance so quickly? However, that dog official is quite lucky!"

"Is this the man who rose to Wang City's Defensive Envoy by using a Protector Heavenly Demon?"

Lin Rui already possessed keen hearing, not to mention these people were discussing openly, wanting him to hear.

Yet, Lin Rui was indifferent. Only he knew that his current status was achieved entirely through his own strength and talent; he paid no mind to these insignificant chatters.

But at that moment, a short and stocky middle-aged man asked mockingly from the crowd, "Defensive Envoy Lin, I heard that the Heavenly Demon from beyond our realm was imprisoned in your cell before it died. So, you must surely know when that Blood Sorrel Tree went dormant?"

Lin Rui glanced sideways at the man, noting not only the stocky middle-aged man but also the various other Martial Cultivators were all looking at him.

These Cultivators were of good quality, nearly all above the Fourth Realm, with quite a few at the Fifth Realm.

The stocky middle-aged man was a high-ranking master of the Fifth Realm, with a lump of white jade-like substance embedded in his forehead.

This was a unique characteristic of the Fifth Realm practitioners; the "Dragon Armor" usually remained condensed into a mass, known as "Dragon Seed," or "Dragon of War Seed." It expanded into bone armor covering the entire body only when catalyzed by the master's will.

The thing previously implanted in Ji Xueying's heart by the Imperial Flame War Dragon is this object, which had been assimilated and refined by Ji Xueying.

Normally, the "Dragon of War Seed" would be embedded in front of the heart, connected with the Cultivator's Golden Core or demonic core.

However, there are exceptions for those who cultivate unique techniques.

Lin Rui thought to himself that Zhu Huaimeng had sent the message a little early. It had been ten whole days, attracting so much big fish.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't ask the Investigating Censorate to delay the jailbreak.

After scanning his surroundings, Lin Rui then turned his gaze towards the dense forest ahead. His figure stood tall on the treetop, swaying gently with the wind, appearing relaxed and content.

Seeing his dismissive attitude, the short and stocky middle-aged man's face turned a shade greener.

"Insolent brat!"

He directly opened the battle dragon seed in his glabella, covering his upper body with dragon armor, "Come down!"

With one hand on his sword, he pressed forward with an overwhelming Sword Intent, bombarding toward Lin Rui's direction.

The tree beneath Lin Rui was directly blasted into powder by his will.

While others might fear the supreme Blood Blade of Lin Twelve, Ji Xueying, the stocky middle-aged man couldn't care less.

His sword technique had merged with abyssal concepts, naturally restraining these demons!

Any demon below the emperor rank, or not endowed with abyssal force, couldn't exert even thirty percent of their power in front of him.

Lin Rui's eyes narrowed, a trace of fierceness flashing deep within.

A burst of intense radiance suddenly erupted all around him.

Lin Rui, seemingly at ease just moments before, had already scattered his flying needles throughout the surrounding void.

Now, with a thought, a swath of dazzling white light burst forth, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes.

The stocky middle-aged man squinted his eyes as well.

He immediately sensed a figure hurtling toward him at a startling speed.

At the same time, several streams of abyssal power descended upon this void.

A chill crept over the stocky middle-aged man, sensing danger.

He had only intended to show Lin Twelve a lesson, yet the latter was after his life!

The stocky middle-aged man swung his sword with all his might, trying to fend off the sharp aura that seemed to slash from beyond the heavens.

But he was still a step too slow.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by a piercing, shrill sound, a swath of the same dazzling blade light swept across his body.

By then, the white light around had gradually faded, and many people began to regain their sight.

They saw Lin Twelve standing in front of the stocky middle-aged man, sheathing his sword with an unruffled and composed demeanor.

However, the stocky middle-aged man stared with bulging eyes, bursting veins in his eyes as he fixedly glared at Lin Twelve, "What the, what secret—"

He wanted to ask what it was? How could the secret blade be so fast?

But in the next instant, a line of blood appeared at the center of his body, bursting with copious blood, and in that moment, his entire body split in two.

Lin Rui naturally wouldn't answer a dead man's question; he continued to rest his hand on the sword, storing up energy while scanning the surroundings.

He was looking forward to the next challenger appearing, but when Lin Rui's gaze swept over, the martial cultivators in the area either avoided his gaze or were solemn-faced with wary eyes.

The two companions of the stocky middle-aged man had turned pale and dared not make eye contact with Lin Rui.

"Idiots!" scoffed the demon dragon, its expression disdainful.

Its gaze, however, was somewhat solemn; how had this youngster grown so strong in just a few days?

The abyssal force Lin Twelve had unleashed just now had put much pressure on the demon dragon.

For a split second, it felt its own bloodline being severely suppressed, proving this youngster was by no means simply in contact with the abyss.

However, in today's struggle for Qin Yan's abode, the most significant and dangerous enemy was still that imperial inspector, Duan Pengxuan!

Zhou Changgong's gaze also sharpened slightly, soon followed by a sneer as he withdrew his eyes.

The stocky middle-aged man, seemingly a Martial Cultivator from outside, was not only out of the loop but also didn't take Zhou Changgong seriously enough.

Lin Twelve being able to slice through his Heavenly Demon dragon armor and nearly sever his arm, his combat power had long transcended his cultivation and bloodline.

How could an armor covering just half of a mere fifth realm king-grade body withstand Lin Twelve's blade?

However, Duan Pengxuan appeared contemplative.

Lin Twelve's sword draw was extremely fierce, but during the draw, bright light was exposed.

Although the reason was unknown, this seemed to be an opportunity.

Others might not see his sword draw and naturally wouldn't see the cause of his death—

Just at that moment, Duan Pengxuan's expression suddenly shifted, and he intently stared ahead.

In that instant, he clearly felt the 'Demon Blood Locust Tree' in front of him was dormant.
