The devices they held in their hands were inherently sharper and more powerful than those carried by the constables of the Office of the Provincial Surveillance Commission.
Wang City was equipped with fifty three-tier Heavenly Bull Crossbows and twenty four-tier Divine Rhino Crossbows, all military standard, greatly surpassing the strength of the darts and arrows held by the group of constables.
Lin Rui had even moved down eight 'Thousand Bull Crossbow Carts' from the city walls, placing them at the top of the arrow towers.
Previously, they had focused most of their arrows on those few fifth-tier masters.
Only a few, with fourth-tier cultivation and royal bloodline captains, could withstand these fifth-tier masters, barely managing a few moves.
They had to keep an eye on these fifth-tier individuals at all times, unable to let them get close; otherwise, everyone would be doomed.
Although these riffraff from the Office of the Provincial Surveillance Commission probably didn't have the guts to massacre the entirety of Wang City Government Office, they couldn't be unguarded.
Now, this group from the Imperial Dragon Guards didn't have these scruples anymore, and suddenly a barrage of arrows came killing over, pinning the more than forty men in black in the room, unable to raise their heads.
Even Feng Guang and Wang Tiandong had no choice but to hide in the dead angle of the house, not daring to directly challenge the sharpness of the eight 'Thousand Bull Crossbow Carts.'
Wang Tiandong looked helpless, pressed his voice low, and said, "Lord Lin! We have come here today merely to take some people away. If you are wise, then we can all part amicably. But if you act unreasonably, then today it must end badly, and I fear it might result in both sides being destroyed, blood splattering Wang City.
He actually opposed this operation from the bottom of his heart, feeling it was a bit over the line.
Although Wang City Government Office had severely insulted them twice, even injuring and imprisoning many of their people, after all, both sides were officials under the same government, colleagues to each other.
Currently, the situation in Wang County was concerning, and the Imperial Secretariat was making great efforts to maintain local public order and suppress demons, essential supports for Wang County.
However, both the more senior Feng Guang and the newly appointed Deputy Supervisor felt there was no need to grovel to that Lin the Twelfth.
They both advocated a tough response, to forcefully attack and abduct the people, to show this ignorant upstart, Lin Rui, a tough lesson.
This man was impenetrable, resistant to both persuasion and force, and soft words were useless; it was better to use fists and swords to teach him sense.
Wang Tiandong, of humble origins, had been promoted repeatedly during his tenure at the Office of the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, leading to his current rank as a fifth-grade official with a promising future.
At that moment, he could only submit to their will, unable to resist.
He knew that his benefactor was hell-bent on capturing Heavenly Demon Han and his group at any cost.
Nevertheless, unless absolutely necessary, Wang Tiandong still did not want both sides to escalate to a do-or-die situation.
Lin Rui ignored him and turned to look at the person who was confronting Blood Blade from a distance, "Are you the Deputy Supervisor of the Office of Judicial Review, Zhang Chen?"
That was the one whom Professor Han had been quite wary of and had someone lure away—the near-sixth-tier!
Zhang Chen had been confronting Blood Blade and hadn't even glanced at Lin Rui; he snorted coldly, "Nonsense, who says I'm Deputy Supervisor Zhang Chen? I've heard of that hero, if Zhang Chen were here, why would I dare cause trouble here—"
Lin Rui thought this man's skin was thick indeed to declare himself a hero.
He perceived that this man was deliberately stalling, trying to buy more time for those entering the jail, and directly cut off his words: "Lay down your weapons now, surrender, and I can spare you from punishment after you are incarcerated!"
Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning icy: "Scum, I gave you face, and you dare to push it! Yimu, Bing Huo, take him down!"
They had previously agreed on code names, each using ranks like A, B, C, etc., to replace their real names.
He was referring to Feng Guang as Yimu and Wang Tiandong as Bing Huo.
Currently, the power of the Imperial Secret Service in the sandbar was greatly weakened.
As long as they left no substantial evidence, they were untouchable.
Feng Guang didn't hesitate and swiftly launched an attack.
His eyes blazed with rage and deep-seated hatred. Previously, when he had come to Wang City Government Office to demand the Heavenly Demon, Blood Blade had chopped off one of his arms.
Although Feng Guang had a famous doctor reattach it afterwards, this left arm still wasn't agile.
Therefore, Feng Guang's hatred for Lin Twelve seethed in his marrow, wishing he could devour this bastard alive.
Usually protected by Blood Blade, Lin Twelve was untouchable to Feng Guang, but today Blood Blade was subdued by Zhang Chen.
Without Blood Blade to hold him back, this mere Fourth Realm fool, Feng Guang could stab him to death with just one finger!
Wang Tiandong hesitated briefly before following, as things had reached this point, they could only prepare for the worst.
Kill and leave no evidence!
Especially this Lin Twelve, he absolutely must not be spared! Otherwise, like a snake not killed, endless troubles would ensue.
Lin Rui, with an expressionless face, used the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to glide backwards.
Feng Guang let out a cold laugh as he accelerated to his full speed, chasing after Lin Rui's figure.
Lin Rui's Escape Skill was extremely sophisticated; however, being a realm below Feng Guang, who also possessed the Fifth Realm sovereign blood power, Feng Guang held nothing back, rapidly closing the distance between them.
Just then, he saw Lin Twelve suddenly draw his sword—it was the one in his right hand, the one always sheathed, poised for action!
Feng Guang couldn't help but feel surprised, as there was a full fifteen zhang (approximately fifty meters) between them.
Had this guy been building up his sword energy only to strike from such a distance, effectively wasting his buildup?
Nevertheless, Feng Guang instinctively became vigilant, cautiously guarding himself with a pair of phoenix-headed short spears.
In that instant, he felt two immensely powerful spiritual intentions descend upon the space, not only causing his soul to shudder but also distorting the rules of the world around them.
"Wrong! Is this the abyss? And at least two kinds of abyss concepts—"
Before the thought had even fully formed in Feng Guang's mind, he felt an extremely cold and overbearing force cleaving into his brow.
It was the sword in Lin Twelve's right hand, striking his head from a distance of fifteen zhang.
Feng Guang's pupils dilated, his gaze becoming empty and unbelieving.
The lingering consciousness in his mind wondered what kind of swordsmanship this was? How could it strike from fifteen zhang away and be so swift and unexpected, leaving no chance for defense?
Feng Guang's body was soon split in two by Lin Rui's sword momentum!
Wang Tiandong following behind was also stunned, eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at the bloody scene before him.
A chill pierced through his heart in an instant, spreading through every inch of his flesh, making his skin crawl.
Wang Tiandong had recognized one of the abyss concepts Lin Twelve used. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
It was the 'Master of Fate's' abyss concept—death fated by destiny!
And Lin Twelve's secret sword technique was undoubtedly beyond a Fourth Realm Emperor!
No! It might have even broken through the boundaries of the Fourth Realm, reaching the Emperor Level!
Wang Tiandong then let out a wild roar, lunging at Lin Twelve like a mad tiger.
He knew he had to push forward, absolutely not allowing Lin Twelve another chance to draw his sword.
Otherwise, he too would die, perish right here in Wang City Government Office!
