Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

""My lord, there is trouble at the Wang City Government Office; I must go ahead."

Lin Rui bowed towards the room, and his figure instantly flashed to a pre-arranged magical array in the front courtyard, where he stood still alongside Ji Xueying.

At this moment, Meng Weiyun also came out from the room, "Lin Twelve! These bandits are so bold, they must be very confident. You must be careful on your way. If it's too hard to handle, consider stepping back. Rest assured! This is not your fault. It's already quite an achievement that you have held these bandits off for this long."

A trace of shock and anger appeared in her eyes.

The people from the Criminal Investigation Department actually dared to jailbreak from the Imperial City Department in such a brazen manner, showing complete disregard for them!

Such wild ambition, utterly treasonous!

What worried her was whether Lin Rui, despite his rapid progress in martial arts mastery, had not fully developed his skills for actual combat yet.

Given tonight's situation, could Lin Rui handle it?

"This subordinate understands! But it should not be a big problem!" Lin Rui formed hand seals, and took one last look in the direction of Wang City.

In the next instant, Lin Rui and Ji Xueying became a streak of light and vanished into the night sky.

Lin Rui had anticipated that the people from the Criminal Investigation Department would take action while he was away from the office, so he had taken precautions.

Between this villa and Wang City Government Office, he had set up a 'Flash Thunder Talisman' at every sixty zhang distance, at some concealed spots.

As for the magical array he had just used, its purpose was to help reduce the consumption of his spiritual power.

After all, it was a significant consumption to use the thunder method to travel fifty li at a time.

Even if they could rush back to Wang City Government Office in time, he and Ji Xueying would be exhausted. It would not be a rescue but rather delivering themselves into peril.

The magical array arranged by Lin Rui served like a power station, which could increase voltage and thus reduce the loss of electric energy during transmission.

On their way back, they would only consume about twenty percent of their spiritual power; however, both possessed 'Blood Core Fury', which allowed them to recover quickly, nearly reaching their peak condition.

In just three breaths, both of them arrived above the northern city wall.

From a high vantage point, Lin Rui gazed down into the interior of Wang City Government Office.

This place was less than fifty zhang away from the office, and it provided an unobstructed view of the situation there.

A stern expression on his face slightly eased.

The condition within the office was better than Lin Rui had imagined, with not many casualties.

Li Li had done a good job, strictly following the strategies they had predefined.

The over one hundred Imperial Dragon Guards stationed within the office had mostly retreated towards the inner office to hold their ground.

Somewhere in the east corner, several watchtowers had been erected without notice, allowing the Imperial Dragon Guards to stand on them and greet the outsiders with various bows and hidden weapons, with a range that just covered the prison in front.

Some had probably retreated into the prison; in any case, there were no Imperial Dragon Guard bodies visible outside the office, showing that Li Li and the others responded quickly and retreated swiftly and resolutely.

At the moment, the prison's gates were emitting blue smoke, as those thick iron doors had been violently blasted open by the people from the Criminal Investigation Department, revealing a huge hole.

However, the three-layer dungeon below had been reinforced and fortified by Li Li and the others.

What awaited these bandits below were three more prison gates, each stronger than the last.

In addition, there were over forty people clad in black night clothes, faces covered and armors on, standing firm at the crater, exchanging fire with the Imperial Dragon Guards from the inner office direction.

Their task seemed to be to cover the retreat for those who had already broken into the dungeon.

"It really is the Criminal Investigation Department!"

Lin Rui sneered coldly, his eyes flashing with shock and anger.

He recognized several acquaintances from these people's stature and the weapons they held.

It was not easy for this group to change into different clothes and cover their faces.

Feeling his True Qi fully restored, Lin Rui pressed a hand on his 'Heaven's Edge Saber' at his waist, gathering momentum while extending his other hand, "Ying'er."

Understanding his intent, Ji Xueying's Demonic Qi vibrated, causing the Thunder God Saber to unsheathe and fall into Lin Rui's hand.

After grasping the saber with his left hand, Lin Rui immediately floated forward.

"Let's go down!"

He, like a gigantic hawk, slid down from the top of the city wall and then with agile leaps, arrived outside the main gates of the prison.

The people from the Criminal Investigation Department were already alert, waiting for him in a tight formation.

Three powerful martial energies firmly locked onto him.

Two of them could likely be the magistrates Feng Guang and Wang Tiandong.

The third person was unfamiliar to Lin Rui, but his martial energy was the most powerful among the three, sharp and domineering, equally matched with Ji Xueying's, causing surrounding air currents to whirl chaotically.

As for the other high-level expert from the Criminal Investigation Department, magistrate Zhang Zhili, he was probably leading the team deep into the prison to capture their targets and was not in the office.

Once Lin Rui landed in front of the prison, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department immediately shot various sleeve-arrows and darts toward him.

Lin Rui paid no mind, his body exploding into flames and moving three zhang away, landing on a torch stuck in the wall.

At this moment, a dense flurry of arrows shot out from the inner office direction.

The Imperial Dragon Guards hidden within the watchtowers were uncontrollable with rage; these scoundrels still had the audacity to divide their attention to shoot at their Defense Officer. The nerve!
