Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"On my right rear side!"

Tie Ji Ying Yuan had been guarding against Lin Rui's Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill's lightning escape, his pupils dilated as he miraculously switched positions at an incredible speed, and his pair of halberds ferociously chopped towards the position behind him, with the momentum of splitting mountains and cracking rocks!

At the same time, he also saw Lin Rui's left-hand waist saber swinging toward his throat.

Tie Ji Ying Yuan couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh; he had already foreseen the image of this supremely talented youth being dismembered by the great halberd in his hands.

What Red Thunder 21-slashes? It must be a variation based on the Red Thunder Nine-slashes, right?

But today, it wouldn't matter if it were 21-slashes or even 100-slashes, this Lin Rui, he's a dead man!

At that instant, Tie Ji Ying Yuan saw the sky filled with lightning and fire.

Behind Lin Rui, at least a hundred Flash Thunder Talismans and Blazing Fire Talismans exploded simultaneously, forming a 10-meter radius network of thunder and fire.

The waist saber in Lin Rui's hand also burst into a ball of purple-red flames and lightning.

"Die!"

The saber in his hand slashed forward at an unbelievable speed, unstoppable in its momentum, invincible in its path, and it sliced through the center of Tie Ji Ying Yuan's pair of great halberds like cutting through butter, also splitting Ying Yuan's brow.

Tie Ji Ying Yuan's body immediately stiffened on the spot, motionless.

His heart was filled with astonishment; he actually lost? Killed by a mere third-realm individual!

Ying Yuan then wondered why Lin Rui's saber could explode with such speed? Lin Rui's slash was just as extraordinary as the one that had cut off the County Magistrate's arm!

Afterward, Tie Ji Ying Yuan's mind stirred, realizing this was the 'Red Thunder 21-slashes' Lin Rui had mentioned!

This damn brat had actually stacked the True Yuan of the Red Thunder 21-slashes together, combining them into one slash!

For a moment, Tie Ji Ying Yuan felt an immense darkness and despair before his eyes.

Just how far had Lin Rui refined this basic saber technique, the Red Thunder Saber?

He thought this brat's talent might even be more terrifying than that of Blood Blade Ji Xueying!

It must be beyond the super king-rank! Even the emperor-rank was possible.

However, he no longer had the chance to ponder further; as a mass of blood burst from his brow and the back of his head, Tie Ji Ying Yuan's body fell backward, losing all consciousness.

After slaying Tie Ji Ying Yuan, Lin Rui first scanned his surroundings.

His primary target, naturally, were the four fourth-realm demons that had been severely injured and on the brink of death by Blood Blade Ji.

Zhang Tianchang and the numerous constables inside the hall were in a dire situation; four were already critically wounded and down, unable to get up, while the others were embroiled in a tough battle, incapable of dealing with them.

As a result, these four fourth-realm demons were vigorously recovering, their wounds healing rapidly.

Lin Rui did not intend to give them a chance to catch their breath; amidst a burst of purple lightning, he annihilated each of the critically wounded demons in turn.

Next, he turned his attention to Government Official Jiang Hanzhang!

Jiang Hanzhang had already made a run for it, escaping with two arrest officers, sneaking out through a hole in the back of the grand hall.

Jiang Hanzhang had been watching the battle between Lin Rui and Ying Yuan closely.

When he saw Ying Yuan fall to Lin Rui, he knew he was in danger.

If even Ying Yuan was killed by Lin Rui, then he, Jiang Hanzhang, was most likely no match either; he immediately lost all will to fight.

Then, Lin Rui turned his gaze to Wang Sen.

He found that this good brother of his could still hold on; although Wang Sen had only just begun to cultivate blood power, the combat strength he displayed was no less than any of the numerous arrest officers in the government office.

At the moment, he was joining forces with Cao Jun, holding off a fourth-realm demon together.

Since Wang Sen was temporarily unharmed, Lin Rui's utmost priority now was to do everything in his power to turn the tide of battle!

He began moving with talismans, flashing around like a wraith. Each time he appeared, he was in a position where the demon cultivators were defenseless, his saber bringing up a sweep of bloodlight with each strike.

The numerous demon cultivators in the hall immediately descended into panic.

"What's going on? Li Shan is dead, I saw him get his throat slit by that man's saber!"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see? It's that Lin Rui, he just killed Ying Yuan!"

"Tie Ji Ying Yuan is dead? When? He killed Tie Ji Ying Yuan?"

"That guy's saber is so fast, like lightning; you can't even see it clearly!"

"Be careful to avoid those talismans on the ground, this guy can move using talismans to appear directly behind us."

"We can't block it! We just can't block it."

Although these third-realm demon cultivators had weaker Primordial Spirit power than normal Martial Cultivators, their physical strength was extremely powerful, not much less than that of Cao Jun and the others, especially their defensive and regeneration abilities, which were almost on par with actual demons.

Even the seven deputy arrest officers and over twenty black-belted officials in this County Magistrate's grand hall were struggling to resist, even two against one.

But none of these third-level demon cultivators could block a single strike from Lin Rui!

First, Lin Rui's moves were unexpected, cutting from the most tricky and unpredictable angles; second, although these demon cultivators were powerful, their reaction speed was much slower than that of a normal martial cultivator.

Lin Rui's saber skills were extremely swift, clean, and sharp!

The great grandmaster-level Red Thunder Saber allowed Lin Rui to refine all his saber techniques to perfection, eliminating all redundancy and superfluous movements.

This made Lin Rui's strikes extremely concise and efficient, as fast as lightning and thunder, flashing by in an instant, one strike, one kill!

His Thunderfire True Yuan was particularly effective against these demon cultivators.

Notification: For slaying a third-realm demon cultivator, you have gained 324 points of Soul Power.

Notification: For slaying a third-realm demon cultivator, you have gained 361 points of Soul Power.

Demon cultivators, distinct from monsters, have a far weaker strength of consciousness and bloodline power compared to normal martial cultivators.

Even though demon cultivators have reached a higher realm through bodily mutations, gaining stronger combat power, their bodies are no longer human-like, looking neither human nor ghostly.

The Soul Power points they provide are quite low; however, accumulating bit by bit, a continuous stream of information kept appearing in his mind.

But after continuously slaying fifteen third-realm demon cultivators, Lin Rui was feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

The recent battle with Tie Jie Ying Yuan had already consumed nearly half of his True Yuan, and following that, using the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill for Flash Escape was a major drain on his True Yuan.

He had no choice but to flicker onto a roof beam and sit in meditation to recover his True Yuan, while watching the government officials below battle, jointly trying to kill the remaining demons and monsters.

At that moment, the situation in the main hall had been forcefully reversed by his relentless assaults.

The group led by Cao Jun was overjoyed, cheering uncontrollably.

"Lin Rui, you did great!"

"I'm convinced, Lin Rui, even Ying Yuan is no match for you."

"Thanks, Lin Rui! If not for that strike of yours, I would have been dead for sure."

"Rest for now, Lin Rui, leave the rest to us."

After observing for a while and seeing that the people below were no longer in mortal danger, Lin Rui began to tightly focus on Zhang Tianchang.

As he relaxed, his thoughts turned to Soul Power points.

Lin Rui's total Soul Power points had now surged to 15,745.

This was calculated by Lin Rui himself; the spirit in his ring didn't have this function, and it would only give notifications when asked directly.

This was the first time he had been so wealthy, enough to cause another qualitative transformation in his martial path.

But he was never satisfied with Soul Power points and wanted even more.

Lin Rui could see that the fourth-realm two-headed demon below had been pounded by the arrest officer Tian Chang's fists to the point of a shredded lung and stomach, on the brink of death.

Tian Chang had probably reached the fourth realm not long ago, but his external hardening cultivation technique was exceptionally tough. Combined with a set of fourth-level 'Heavenly Bull Armor' he wore, he was virtually invulnerable to sword and spear.

His Divine Power Vajra Skill was also extremely fierce and domineering, with a powerful and majestic force.

It was only in group battles that he was slightly weaker, and his killing power and explosiveness were also somewhat insufficient, unable to hold the scene today and take care of his numerous subordinates.

In another situation, if it weren't for the presence of the black-belt constables, Tian Chang alone could have withstood the onslaught from these demons and demon cultivators, surviving without dying for a good half amount of time.

His overall strength was definitely not weaker than that of Tie Jie Ying Yuan.

And just as the fourth-realm two-headed demon, with two heads and four arms, was bleeding from its nose and mouth, stumbling and unstable, Lin Rui suddenly leaped down from above.

In his hand, the Blood Blade 'Thor' created two massive Thunderfire snakes in mid-air, splitting the body of the two-headed demon into two halves with a single stroke!

Notification: For slaying a fourth-realm demon, you have gained 1,263 points of Soul Power.

Tian Chang, watching from behind, immediately furrowed his brows in confusion.

The two-headed demon had already been pounded to the brink of death by his fists. While it seemed intact on the outside, its insides were completely destroyed. Even if left unattended, the demon's life force would have ceased, so Lin Rui's additional slash seemed entirely unnecessary.

But the man was indeed formidable; whether it was chopping off the County Magistrate's arm or the killing strike on Ying Yuan, both had profoundly shocked Tian Chang.

Tian Chang even doubted if his own 'Divine Power Vajra Skill' could withstand those attacks.

Afterward, Lin Rui cleared the field, demonstrating his incredibly powerful burst and killing power, simply unmatched in his realm!

Tian Chang then shook his head slightly and turned his attention elsewhere.

All of a sudden, his expression subtly changed as he looked towards the entrance of the county office, where an unexpected purple light was shining in.

Tian Chang furrowed his brows and flashed outside the county office to look around, only to discover that the entire sky was tinged purple-red by the vast amounts of purple crystal dust drifting in from all directions.

At the same time, Tian Chang felt a slight burning sensation in his organs.
