Chapter 457: Purity (Please Subscribe)
At the moment when the director saw Lin Rui's face, his mind went blank.
The man who had killed so many of their people was actually Lin Rui? The brother of the Suffering Heavenly Girl, Lin Yi?
Lin Rui was the so-called "Children's Song Killer"?
In that instant, a line appeared in the director's mind, connecting the many pieces of information he had.
But he still couldn't understand how Lin Rui could be the "Children's Song Killer". How had this guy evaded the pursuit of the Security Bureau? How had he avoided the calculations of those big data models?
How could this guy's combat abilities be so strong?
Although the Martial Arts Association had given him an unprecedented 4SSS+ rating, wasn't that just breaking the rules?
At the moment his consciousness blanked, Lin Rui and Ji Xueying both performed Flash Escape again, wielding their sabers.
The two of them used the exact same movement techniques, the same saber strokes, yet they crisscrossed left and right, front and back!
This was Lin Rui's fundamental saber technique, the "Purple Sun Tribulation Saber's" 6SSS-ranked Secret Blade—Purple Sun Tribulation: Super Instant Kill!
It combined the speed of lightning with the ferocity of flames and integrated their time-space void capabilities into an ultimate killing move!
At this moment, Ji Xueying felt a thrill of excitement rising within her heart.
The Sixth Realm Divine Rank secret blade she had practiced for over a month finally had a chance to be utilized.
Individually, this saber technique wielded a power rating of only 6SSS, but when she combined her strikes with Lin Rui, it achieved double 6SSS+, even surpassing that divine might!
Because the highest rating currently available from the Martial Arts Association was only SSS+.
—It was essentially above Super Emperor, yet not reaching Divine Rank!
When the guard captain saw the two of them draw their sabers at that moment, he felt a chill rush to his head and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
Desperation even appeared in his eyes! Because the guard captain's sharp battle instincts had already foreseen a terribly tragic end for himself.
"Be careful!"
He warned his superior beside him, while simultaneously unleashing his most powerful Extreme Move.
The director had also instantly snapped to attention at the moment Lin Rui drew his saber again, and he started firing at full speed. He held two Type 8 Revolving Kinetic Pistols in his hands and furiously shot at Lin Rui, who was Flash Escaping towards him from the opposite side.
"Die, all of you!"
Each bullet he fired was infused with all his True Yuan, blood energy, Martial Arts Extreme Intent, and all his fury, greatly enhancing both the speed and power of each bullet!
Talking about firepower, those Gauss Beam Guns and Plasma Guns and other high-tech rifles were very powerful and sophisticated.
But when it came to the upper limit of power, they couldn't compare to these kinetic pistols, which could perfectly integrate an Armored Martial Cultivator's strength, thus achieving a more lethal killing power.
However, the moment the director fired, he realized that the time-space around him had already been distorted!
It was twisted by the coordinated effort of the two of them, distorting both space and time.
It was like two giant pliers grabbing a nail and then twisting in concert.
Moreover, perhaps because the Heavenly Venerate of Suffering was about to descend, the conception around was exceptionally strong, making the distortion in time-space remarkably drastic.
None of the bullets fired by the director, despite his 7S+ ranked pistol Extreme Skill, hit Lin Rui.
And in the next instant, the director once again saw a brilliant flash of saber light before his eyes.
Different this time, the target of that saber light was himself!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Following that sharp noise, two saber lights flashed left and right, cutting through their exoskeleton armor and bodies with incredible sharpness.
And just as Lin Rui and Ji Xueying passed each other and resumed their positions, the director turned around and looked at Lin Rui with disbelief.
"—So domineering!"
What he said was "domineering." Lin Rui's strike was not merely fast but domineering! It's unreasonable speed and the blade that seemed capable of slicing through everything were simply overbearingly domineering.
—Does such domineering, such miraculous saber technique actually exist in this world?
And it seemed to be specifically crafted for these two, enabling them to push their bloodline power to the limit!
In that instant, the director's body began to disintegrate, breaking apart into countless pieces of flesh.
At the moment Lin Rui and Ji Xueying passed each other, they had already delivered at least a hundred slashes, utterly disintegrating their flesh and souls into fragmented wreckage.
Lin Rui then waved his hand, throwing out a ball of Purifying Fire.
Even amidst his inner turmoil, Lin Rui was anything but careless.
This ball of "Purifying Fire" ensured that none of the people who died here had any chance of surviving.
Soon after, Lin Rui's figure flickered like lightning, rapidly navigating deeper into the facility.
Not long after, he arrived at a room that looked like a high-security prison cell.
Lin Rui hadn't even approached when he was deeply startled by the pervasive distorted concept here.
Everything here was twisted—various materials, pathways, gravity, space and time, and even vision itself along with the five senses of the Spiritual Sense—everything was twisted.
The area around here had already lost power, and Quantum Communication was also cut off due to the laws of physics becoming invalid.
Fei Yunlai and Gong Hengdao stood at the doorway, both looking strained.
Fei Yunlai had previously been responsible for assassinating those three hackers, helping Lin Xi and Lin Guangming control the surveillance room.
Gong Hengdao led three 6S squads, tasked with handling the personnel stationed around the perimeter of the base, ensuring that no one left the base alive.
After completing their respective missions, they were also to assist Lin Xi in "receiving" Lin Yi, ensuring the sleeping cabin of the Suffering Heavenly Girl was evacuated from the base while guaranteeing Lin Xi's safety.
Due to the need for secrecy in this mission, only the two of them could assist Lin Xi.
However, when they arrived here, they couldn't do anything but struggle to keep themselves intact, suppressing their own bodies and Divine Souls from being twisted.
"What a total mess, BOSS!" Fei Yunlai said with a helpless wry smile upon seeing Lin Rui, "Her soul has completely shattered; even your anesthetic couldn't help, Lin Xi."
Xue Lingxue's originally perfect battle plan ran into an unexpected complication.
The Divine Light Army made a move first; the Suffering Heavenly Girl had shot and killed Lin Rui's clone body before they even began their operation.
—This was Lin Rui's arrangement to conceal his actions and mislead the media, yet it threw Lin Yi's mind into a state of collapse.
Lin Rui frowned deeply and stepped into the room.
As he entered, he heard a woman groaning, "It's all over, completely over. How could I have done such a foolish thing? I really shouldn't have said those words."
Lin Rui glanced sidelong; it was a plump, round-faced young girl with a rounded body, hugging her knees in the corner, muttering in agony.
According to the intelligence, she was a teammate from Abyss, a genius hacker of SS+ rank.
This little girl, merely at the Fifth Realm, could actually maintain her existence unwarped in this place—
Lin Rui ignored her, striding over to Lin Xi's side, looking at the young girl asleep in the sleeping cabin in front of him.
Lin Yi's features were very similar to Lin Xi's, but her aura was even more fresh and tranquil.
She lay serenely in the sleeping cabin, eyes closed, yet she was the epicenter of all the surrounding anomalies.
"Brother, do you have any other way?" Lin Xi asked, his complexion ashen, with a trace of despair, "Is there any way to stop it?"
At this moment, Wang Tianwu, who was also responsible for concealing the base with Illusion Techniques and covering Lin Rui's actions, arrived too.
Upon entering, he first leaned over to glance at Lin Yi inside the sleeping cabin, then couldn't help cursing out loud.
Wang Tianwu's eyes actually burst open, spilling fresh blood.
He couldn't believe he was seeing the Abyss for the first time in his life!
Although it was just a partial descent of the Abyss Will, it was still extremely powerful and terrifying!
"BOSS, are we not leaving yet? Are we just waiting for death here?"
Meanwhile, Wang Tianwu was filled with doubts.
Why were Lin Rui and Lin Xi, the siblings, and that woman known as Hidden Moon, just fine being inside here?
He, a grand Super Emperor of the Eight Realms, couldn't even remain here, while Fei Yunlai and Gong Hengdao stayed outside.
"There's still hope!"
At that moment, Lin Rui unexpectedly reached out and touched Lin Yi's carotid artery, "We've arrived just in time, but Xiao Xi, this time you might have to sacrifice a year of your life!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi's spirit lifted, "What should I do?"
Don't say one year, if it could bring Yi back, she would gladly give her entire life.
Wang Tianwu sneered upon hearing the words, "BOSS, you're really not treating your own life as anything significant. This is the Abyss! How do you expect to stop her descent? It's simply overestimating your abilities."
After all, BOSS did study medicine, but how come he doesn't realize how formidable the Abyss is.
The girl in the corner known as Hidden Moon also lifted her head, looking at Lin Rui with a gaze filled with sarcasm and helplessness.
It's all over! Everything is over!
However, Abyss's brother really cares about her, to not want to leave even in such a situation, no wonder Abyss is suffering so much.
"You all should leave," Hidden Moon exhaled deeply. "You can't stop the descent of the Suffering Heavenly Venerate. Only the Abyss can oppose the Abyss. If you leave now, I might manage to hold her off for 20 seconds."
But Lin Rui shook his head slightly, "Indeed, only the Abyss can combat the Abyss, but I am the Abyss!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianwu was initially puzzled, but then he saw flames of white fire suddenly burst around Lin Rui's body.
In the next instant, he felt a powerfully conceptual force enveloping the entire area, a force not inferior to 'distortion.'
—That was Purity!
