Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui had already learned through the battle group messages that a covert Eight Realm master was locked in by the light of the Observing Divine Mirror nearby.

His pupils couldn't help but slightly contract as he cursed incessantly in his heart.

Unknown were the people from which faction of the Earth Federation, but to think that they had moved three 7A-class tactical teams, two Eighth Realm experts, and at least five powerful snipers, all just to put him in a dire situation!

—What was terrifying was that among these five snipers, there were two whose strength was above the 7S+ level.

If it hadn't been for Lin Xi's Indestructible Heart Dragon detecting traces ahead of time, he would have ninety-nine percent certainly been killed by this group!

Despite appearing overwhelmingly dominant on their side now, when comparing strength, Lin Rui's side was obviously at a disadvantage.

They were entirely relying on tactics and surprise to swiftly overpower the enemy.

Lin Rui then continued to sweep forward, ruthlessly slaughtering!

The last remaining 7A-class tactical team of the enemy had already collapsed and was scattering in all directions.

But no matter how fast these people ran, they were not faster than Lin Rui and Ji Xueying's Light Escape and Thunder Escape.

The Void Escape Technique of that 'Spiritually Enlightened Celestial Dragon' was even further beyond their reach.

Together these people were no match for Lin Rui, and even less so when separated; being caught up by him meant certain death.

The only difficult one was the leader of this 7A-class tactical team, also a Seventh Realm Supreme Warrior Cultivator, with strong and insane escaping abilities. This person, under the pursuit of Lin Rui, Ji Xueying, and one dragon, had fled toward the southern end for seven miles before Lin Rui, twenty zhang away, beheaded him with a Light Transition Slash.

At this time, there were still some that had slipped through the net, but Lin Rui couldn't be bothered to pursue.

These people had already been targeted by the mirror's light of the Observing Divine Mirror and were about to be chased and killed by the Imperial Guards of the entire city and the distinguished experts of Great Song; there was no chance for them to survive.

At this moment, Xue Lingxue sent a message.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): BOSS, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep that mage occupied, and he escaped into the bustling area to the south. He possesses the Bone Shrinking and Body Condensing technique and can reduce his stature to less than three zhang, along with powerful stealth abilities. We lost sight of him in a moment of carelessness.

Upon reading this, Lin Rui was not very concerned.

The strength under Xue Lingxue's command was at most two 6S-class tactical teams; suppressing that Ninth Realm mage all the way until he fled in a sorry state was already quite satisfactory to him.

Moreover, after being injured for so long without being able to expel the poison, who knew what his situation was now!

As long as the toxins were not cleared, he was not truly out of Lin Rui's grasp.

Lin Rui responded with a smile, "No problem, you managed to suppress him, and I am already very satisfied. You can all disperse now. Soon, the Imperial Guard and the officials will track down your movements, so pay attention to staying hidden."

Lin Rui would not allow Xue Lingxue to have contact with the officials.

They were a group of outsiders, Heavenly Demons, and less than half of them could pass the Heavenly Demon Test; they would be instantly exposed upon inspection.

Moreover, the style of the hired blade was such that these desperadoes of the rivers and lakes would only make contact with the officials when receiving bounty payments.

All hired blades, unless it was absolutely necessary, did not want to invite trouble by getting involved with the officials.

Lin Rui, afterwards, turned into a beam of light and headed to the nearby eastern city wall.

The battle here was also nearing its end. Li Wei and his Titanium Golden Dragon were tenaciously biting and fiercely attacking that Eighth Realm Supreme Realm Warrior Cultivator; several attempts by that person to flee over the city wall had been thwarted by the many giant crossbows upon it.

The key point was that several Eighth Realm experts had already arrived nearby. They hovered high in the sky, observing the battle from a distance.

These people knew that Li Wei's victory was certain and did not wish to intervene and steal his credit.

Moreover, Lin Rui even sensed that up in the void, several more powerful presences locked onto that person with their senses from afar.

Thus, this Eighth Realm Supreme Realm Warrior Cultivator had given up on fleeing and was now fully stimulating his blood energy and True Yuan, his whole body ablaze with blood flames, fighting desperately like a mad tiger, seemingly trying to take Li Wei down with him.

At this time, Lin Xi had also returned to Lin Rui's side on her war dragon, panting heavily, causing the surrounding ether elements to stir incessantly.

Her Indestructible Heart Dragon was not lightly wounded, marked by several bone-deep lacerations.

Lin Xi's opponent had, after all, been an Eighth Realm war dragon with exceedingly high martial skills. That Lin Xi survived more than a dozen exchanges without dying was already very fortunate and also a testament to her unparalleled martial talents.

Fortunately, twenty seconds prior, a group of Li Wei's subordinates had arrived together in time to lend support, collectively surrounding and killing that Eighth Realm war dragon.

Seeing that her Indestructible Heart Dragon had no strength left, Lin Xi chose to retreat and recuperate her injuries.

Lin Rui, on the other hand, observed the battle while sending messages in the group.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Xiao Xi, well done, this time we owe it to you, otherwise your brother would have been done for.

He also sent a picture the size of a thumb.

Hidden inside the battle dragon, Lin Xi remained silent, yet the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up, an expression she couldn't suppress no matter how hard she tried.

Since her arrival, she had been working tirelessly for months and had finally gained the ability to fight side by side with this "brother," no longer relegated to merely watching as she had during the battle at Tianxiang River.

The video of Lin Rui being shot in the head thrice was a wound in Lin Xi's heart that would never heal.

She no longer pondered whether this "older brother" was real or not, only knowing that her brother's genes were correct, and his intentions towards her genuine.

Unless there was concrete evidence proving Lin Rui wasn't Lin Rui, she would go to all lengths to protect her brother.

This was the only family she had left.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): BOSS, I've identified the person. His name is Xu Yu, nicknamed 'Jade Fox.' He's a very famous mercenary! Although his combat power isn't particularly strong among the rank eight warriors, he organized a 7S-class mercenary group 30 years ago. In the ten years that followed, he never failed a mission and then seemed to have been recruited by a certain power.

Zhou Yunfei also sent a message to Lin Rui at this time.

Zhou Yunfei: Little Rui, I heard about the incident below. I truly didn't expect that someone would mobilize such a massive force to assassinate you, three entire 7A tactical squads, two rank eights, and five 7S-class, it's insane! But this is 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu's style; he never fights battles he's not certain of winning.

Zhou Yunfei: But you're truly badass, not thinking about escaping in that situation, and instead you took advantage of it to counter-kill. I watched your battle video, it was incredibly impressive, a double super emperor! An absolute double super emperor! Little Rui, you really have a boundless future ahead of you.

Zhou Yunfei: And 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu, I didn't expect this guy to meet his end today! He's been rampant for so many years, and the security agency, despite knowing his involvement in many murder and terrorist attack cases, could do nothing about him. I didn't think he would fall at your hands, he must have never dreamed of it!

Reading this, Lin Rui couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling that Zhou Yunfei's excitement was a bit abnormal; he was almost talking nonsense.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Minister, the Xu Yu you're talking about is still perfectly fine.

Zhou Yunfei: He's just struggling in his death throes. Surrounded by so many, and marked by Heavenly Demon Eye, how could he survive? It's just a matter of whether he gets caught or killed on the spot.

At this time, Xue Lingxue sent another message.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): The minister was ecstatic when he spoke to me just now. BOSS, you don't know, there was a time during a mission when the minister was played by this 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu, and he received a serious demotion, ending up in a sidelined department for many years. So, he's held a grudge against Xu Yu until now. BOSS, you have avenged him.

Lin Rui suddenly realized. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

It was at this moment that Lin Rui's heart grew tense.

He saw 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu, who was a mile away, suddenly explode. His body unleashed a vast and powerful sword qi, sweeping the surroundings, forcibly blasting Li Wei's body and the battle dragon over a hundred yards away.

Afterwards, the remaining blood essence of 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu all converged on his rank eight imperial-grade longsword, merging with his soul to form a blade of sword qi emitting blood-red light for over thirty yards long, slashing towards Lin Rui.

In that instant, the void was filled with cries of fury and surprise.

"Insolence!"

"Audacity!"

"What a madman! Still wanting to harm others at the brink of death?"

At that moment, several powerful forces bombarded the blood-red blade simultaneously!

Li Wei was particularly shocked as he, along with the battle dragon, stretched out his hand to grab the blood-red blade: "Come back to me!"

Instantly, a tremendous suction force reached out from afar towards the blood-red blade.

Nevertheless, the blade forcefully broke through the multilayered interception, its body wavering slightly mid-air, and although much of its blood essence dissipated, it still ferociously descended upon Lin Rui.

Seeing this, Lin Rui's lips curled into a cold smile.

He could feel 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu's soul staring at him, filled with the determination to perish together, unrelenting until death.

Yet this man was at his last gasp, how could he possibly trouble me?

"Boom!"

First was the rank seven 'Ling Ming Tong Tian Dragon' behind Lin Rui; it gathered its strength and threw a punch, shattering the incoming blood-colored sword glow into pieces, scattering the blood essence in all directions.

At the same time, Lin Rui's long knife rang out of its sheath with a 'clang.'

Instantly, a dazzling strong light filled the area, and a vast sea of thunder spread over a thirty-yard radius, annihilating 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu's entire Primordial Spirit and all his flesh and blood.

Notification: Slaying a rank eight demon cultivator, obtaining 121,321 points of Soul Power.

Lin Rui's brow raised slightly; this 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu had also transformed into a demon, worthy of being a one-star marshal, this single individual provided him with over a hundred thousand points of Soul Power.

But the focus wasn't on this; the key point was that he now had a total of 1,100,000 points of Soul Power, finally able to exchange for the 'Imperial Flame Battle Dragon'!
