Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

After Lin Rui left the government office, he did not continue the chase.

Zhang Tianchang was such an ignoble character, despite being the chief arrest officer, he actually jumped onto the roof beams and with a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace, making Lin Rui sigh in frustration.

Wang Sen also caught up from behind, and upon seeing this, he let out a chuckle, "It seems Chief Zhang still doesn't provide us with any backup."

Because the archivist position was vacant, the County Magistrate appointed Zhang Tianchang as the chief arrest officer a few days ago to temporarily carry out the archivist duties.

In Yinyue County, the position of chief arrest officer is not permanent and is only established under special circumstances.

Lin Rui was grinding his teeth in irritation.

The reason they had only managed to kill four demons these last few days was due to a lack of manpower, preventing them from properly setting up a control perimeter for the demons.

Once those demons sensed danger, they would flee at once and escape far away.

This Zhang Tianchang, not only hindered him from making money but also from gaining soul power points, was utterly detestable.

He shook his head and turned to look at the thick dossier Wang Sen was holding, "Is this the file on Blood Blade Ji?"

That day, after returning to the government office from Zhao the wealthy merchant's house, Lin Rui requested to view the case file on Blood Blade Ji.

Blood Blade Ji was from the capital and a foreigner here; no one locally knew her origin or background. Hence, Lin Rui wanted to look at her case file to see if the archivist Jiang and his people had discovered anything.

However, this file had always been kept by Archivist Jiang, and the government office had also been requesting it from Jiang, who had resigned and was at home.

"Exactly! The archivist finally managed to get this dossier," Wang Sen glanced around and then walked towards a nearby noodle shop, swallowing salivatively, "Let's go there to eat and review it. I heard that this noodle shop is also quite good, no less delicious than the pastry shop we visited yesterday."

The first thing Wang Sen did after waking up in the government office the day before yesterday was to subtly inquire from his colleagues about the gourmet delicacies in Yinyue County.

This was one of the original motivations for Wang Sen to become a being with an extraordinary physique.

Since he was a child, he had wished to taste the food of the people from Tianji Star.

Although the ingredients used by the people of Tianji Star were different from those in the Federation, their culinary culture was very similar to that of ancient China.

There was also another advantage; all the food here was natural, unlike in the Ninth Base where Wang Sen had grown up eating synthetic food and had rarely tasted authentic natural delicacies.

Thinking of the Tianji Star version meat buns he had eaten yesterday morning, Lin Rui couldn't help but salivate.

He wondered what the flavor of Tianji Star's noodles would be like?

However, just as Lin Rui was about to step forward, his eyebrows subtly lifted.

He pretended to casually turn his head and glanced towards the direction of Yuelai Restaurant.

Since his spiritual power had surged, Lin Rui's sensory abilities had also been enhanced.

At that moment, he could distinctly feel that someone inside the restaurant was watching him.

Without changing his expression, Lin Rui withdrew his left hand into his sleeve while a burst of electromagnetism erupted in his palm.

The Grandmaster level Red Thunder Palm had infinite applications; besides electromagnetic induction and optical invisibility, it could also capture the amplitude of sound waves with electromagnetism and use the computational power of the biochip to reconstruct it, allowing one to clearly hear conversations from dozens of meters away.

Meanwhile, in one of the second-floor private rooms of Yuelai Restaurant, a man with a nose sharp like an eagle's beak and a sinister and harsh face was observing Lin Rui through the window lattice.

This scene was identical to a few days ago, the difference being that at this moment, the archivist Jiang Hanzhang was also standing by the window, squinting at Lin Rui, "These are Lin Twelve and Wang Twenty-Seven? Merely two second-realm practitioners with opened meridians, yet their strength is so formidable?"

The face of the arrest officer Li was quite unpleasant, "Don't be fooled by Lin Twelve's mere second realm, his strength is very powerful! That day when I arrived, I saw from a distance the blows he struck with his saber. His Red Thunder Saber is absolutely at the Grandmaster level, and he possesses an extremely strong innate talent, making the saber force immensely fearsome."

He expelled a breath of turbid air and said, "Just now, he released Ge Jiu and Wang Zhongba from the prison and killed them both with only two strikes, taking less than two breaths. His strength must be even greater than it was three days ago. And that twenty-seven-year-old is no weakling either.

A few brothers who were present just now told me that his combat power is not any weaker than that of a second realm demon."

Jiang Hanzhang's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Why didn't you find out their strength before taking action that day?"

He felt deeply pained.

There weren't many martial cultivators of the third realm in the entire Silver Moon County.

"How could I have found out?" the arrest officer said with a hint of resentment in his voice. "They were inconspicuous in the government office, and they were under Zhang Tianchang's command. When I asked a few of their colleagues, they knew nothing.

I was already cautious enough to mobilize the Liu brothers to handle two second-mirror level opponents, who would have thought these two were so powerful?"

"I'm not blaming you," Jiang Hanzhang shook his head. "The problem now is that we must get rid of these two men under the current situation."

The arrest officer felt his resentment subside upon hearing this; he understood Jiang Hanzhang's meaning.

At this moment, Lin Rui's reputation was skyrocketing, and he had become a banner within the government office.

The County Magistrate's steward was visiting homes of the gentry, asking them to dispatch their family guards and martial masters to help maintain public order at the county government office. It was said the first words he spoke upon visiting those gentry were, "I wonder if you have heard about the tragic incident at Zhao Yuanwai's home a few days ago?"

In addition, the government office's highly publicized recruitment drive had unsettled some of the "recuperating" government officials. Lin Rui's rapid promotion to deputy arrest officer within a few days had sparked many people's ambitions.

"That's why I let Ge Jiu and Wang Zhongba out, intending to use them to test Lin Rui's current strength."

The arrest officer fell into deep thought. "I still have five third-realm individuals at my disposal, which might be worth a try. However, I'm not entirely confident. Both of them stay in the county government office at night, only leaving during the day. During the day, when the sunlight is shining, all demons' combat power decreases by more than thirty percent.

Our Thousand Threads Demon and Hundred Blades Demon are already seriously injured and significantly weakened, I'm afraid they're not enough to restrain the County Magistrate."

Three days ago, these two fourth-realm demons had joined forces to fight the County Magistrate, injuring each other, and their wounds were not yet healed.

In contrast, the County Magistrate himself was unharmed. These past few nights, the County Magistrate had been on duty alone, collaborating with the county soldiers to suppress the entire city, preventing all demons from making a move, which also made them highly apprehensive.

"If you're not sure, then we shouldn't try. There's no need to add fuel to the fire," Jiang Hanzhang shook his head. "Wait a bit longer. Let him live for another three days. After three days, once those demons have recovered, we can take care of him without rush."

"Three days later?" The arrest officer instinctively felt something was wrong, "Won't it be too late by then? How about letting the Blood Blade Chi take action? It would be a matter of a single strike."

"No, we can only control the Blood Blade Chi a limited number of times. There's no need to use a cleaver to kill a chicken. The Blood Blade Chi is of great use to the County Magistrate, and we can't spoil his big plans."

At this, Jiang Hanzhang gave a slight smile, "Don't worry! News from the city says that a few days ago Wang City was wiped out by someone, two hundred people died tragically, and the culprit is still unknown. Now the Imperial Guards and Burning Saber Sect have no time to care about Silver Moon County. We have plenty of time to deal with the County Magistrate."

The arrest officer's spirits lifted upon hearing this, his eyes showing a trace of joy.

Wang City had been annihilated? This was excellent news for them.

Meanwhile, in the noodle shop eighty meters away, Lin Rui's expression was solemn as he put away the clump of electromagnetism in his palm.

He had recognized one of the voices from just now—it was that official, Jiang Hanzhang!

Lin Rui had not expected the two men to be so unguarded, allowing him to overhear such an important conversation, and it made him shiver with apprehension.

According to Jiang Hanzhang, he and Wang Sen would only live for another three days.

The good news was that they were safe for these three days, and he and Wang Sen could safely return to the Ninth Base of Tianji Star.

The bad news was that after three days, they would face another life-and-death crisis.

And this time, the enemy would come prepared, certainly not as easy to deal with as they were three days ago.

What's more alarming to Lin Rui was that the two in the restaurant were colluding with demons and even had the power to control the Blood Blade Chi!
