Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

After severely injuring the Thousand-Threads Demon, Lin Rui swept a glance at Ji Xueying with the corner of his eye.

Seeing Ji Xueying's condition, his heart sank slightly, knowing that someone was trying to control her, and Ji Xueying was desperately resisting.

From the expression of the Blood Blade Ji, she seemed to be in extreme pain, her pupils turned blood-red, and veins popped out all over her skin.

Her intense pain even spilled over to Lin Rui, her master, causing a throbbing ache at his temples, like needle pricks.

However, Ji Xueying should have no problem protecting herself, although she was in too much pain to stand up, her blade Qi chaotically surged around her, crazily slicing back and forth within a range of one zhang, shattering anything it touched.

Even those two colossal three-legged mud demons didn't dare challenge its edge. Their giant hands stretched out from the ground, one to the left and one to the right, reaching near him, those hands blotting out the sky, leaving hardly any gaps.

Lin Rui remained unfazed upon witnessing this. If he were an ordinary martial artist, the only option now would be to fight head-on, but he was now both a martial and magic cultivator, a cultivator of immortality!

He formed a hand seal with one hand, and his entire being turned into a bolt of thunder, then he used Flash Escape to appear above the Thousand-Threads Demon that had escaped five zhang away.

The demon, while fleeing, was desperately trying to heal its wounds.

Its remaining limited intelligence was overwhelmed with terror, wondering what on earth was happening. Wasn't that Lin Rui a martial cultivator who had just entered the third realm? How could his blade technique be so sharp? And he could even control needles?

The mission of the Thousand-Threads Demon was to lure the enemy, then coordinate with the two fourth-realm three-legged mud demons to ambush and kill Lin Rui. But its role as bait almost led to its own death by his blade.

When it saw Lin Rui appearing above it again, it gazed blankly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What's going on with this guy? How did he catch up? Are those two three-legged mud demons useless? Just decorations? They actually let Lin Rui catch up!

The key issue was that the twenty steel needles were still wreaking havoc inside its body, draining it of the strength to resist.

"Boom!"

With the explosion of two purple-red fiery thunder serpents, the upper body of the Thousand-Threads Demon burst apart.

Its life force depleted, it could no longer withstand Lin Rui's fiery thunderblade power, and its flesh and blood quickly disintegrated.

After delivering that slash, Lin Rui turned his attention to Ji Xueying, "Xue Ying, open your heart, if you can't bear it alone, don't shoulder it alone."

In the midst of excruciating pain, Ji Xueying heard these words, hesitantly holding her head as she looked at Lin Rui with puzzlement and astonishment.

Just over a dozen days ago at Zuihua House, she had experienced a similar situation. Her former master, Yuan Yi, refused to endure any pain, and he scolded her harshly, ordering her not to transfer the pain to him, but at the time, she had tried her utmost to refrain from affecting her master.

Lin Rui had already started cooperating with Wang Sen, fighting against the two three-legged mud demons.

Standing at five zhang tall, the mud demons had immense strength, but their speed was lacking. Their three legs just couldn't run fast, hence the two of them unanimously decided to employ hit-and-run tactics, with Wang Sen very tacitly pulling one mud demon to the side. He fought and retreated, continually enticing the two mud demons to spread apart.

Lin Rui greatly appreciated Wang Sen's combat awareness, but was getting impatient with Ji Xueying, "Listen! I know that Ruyi Heart-Knot can connect our Primordial Spirits."

He had returned that morning and looked up information on the Ruyi Heart-Knot, realizing it not only reinforced the Blood Covenant but could also connect the 'demon controller' and the 'protective demon's' flesh and spirit, enabling them to exchange True Yuan and spiritual power.

Ji Xueying's gaze flickered, and finally, she gritted her teeth and opened her heart to Lin Rui. She thought since the master said so, she would give it a try, and if he couldn't bear it, she would close the connection again.

Lin Rui's face twisted from the torrent of pain that burst into his mind the next moment, making him wonder if his head had exploded.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Constable Lin, quickly retreat this way, we will provide support."

Lin Rui turned and saw a group of constables standing twenty zhang away, led by Cao Jun, one of the remaining four arrest officers at the yamen.

They must have been arranged by Zhang Tianchang, forming two teams, a total of 22 people, and had positioned a small battle formation at the crossroads, ready for action.

Enduring the pain, Lin Rui smiled, "Thanks, old Cao, but it's not needed. Just help me watch the surroundings and evacuate the residents within 50 zhang!"

Upon hearing the words 'old Cao', the corners of Cao Jun's lips twitched involuntarily, and he waved dismissively to the back, "Didn't you hear? Surround this area and evacuate the nearby civilians."

The numerous constables behind him looked at each other with a mixture of astonishment and doubt.

"Damn, those are two fourth-realm three-legged mud demons, and that Thousand-Threads Demon isn't entirely dead. Does he really want to face them head-on?"

"Tch! If I had a powerful protective demon like Blood Blade Ji, I'd dare to go in guns blazing too," someone remarked.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see Blood Blade Ji lying over there, unable to move? And that Thousand-Strand Demon obviously wasn't hurt by her," another replied.

"Looking at Constable Lin's agility, he's quite capable. I initially thought he was just a pretty face living off Blood Blade Ji," a third person commented.

"You're thinking too much. Even before Constable Lin subdued Blood Blade Ji, he killed several third-realm demons. The County Magistrate promoted him to constable for a reason," someone else explained.

"That Wang Heidai under his command is also impressive. He moves as swiftly as the wind, managing to hold that Mud Demon at bay for so long!"

"Impressive indeed! Both these guys are martial arts prodigies. Their future achievements are bound to be immeasurable. Just look at Old Cao; he's been stuck in the third realm for years without advancing," the group continued discussing.

Lin Rui felt the pain in his mind grow increasingly intense, yet his expression became calmer.

Lin Rui began to hum a song in the language of the Polar Star: "In my little garden, I plant little flowers, hoping to nurture them to grow with you, in my vast garden, I plant grand flowers—"

While fighting, he scattered Flash Thunder Talismans and Blazing Fire Talismans everywhere, plastering them all over the ground.

Just then, Wang Sen had already lured his three-legged Mud Demon more than thirty feet away. He began to use the Ice Wind Blade to briefly freeze the demon's feet.

At that moment, Lin Rui's pupils burst forth with a dazzling light.

"Boom!"

As this thunderous noise resonated, a mighty torrent of thunder and a fierce blaze erupted within ten meters around him.

These were no fewer than fifty Flash Thunder Talismans and Blazing Fire Talismans, all detonating at once.

Lin Rui's figure flashed, appearing behind the three-legged Mud Demon like a ghost.

Wrapped in the double serpents of thunder and fire, he slashed over forty times in an instant, each strike cutting at least five feet deep into the demon's body.

The Mud Demon was unable to track Lin Rui's movements, its giant hands flailing helplessly.

This was the terrifying synergy of a Grandmaster-level Purple Gleam Thunder Blade and the Grandmaster-level Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill.

The tyrannical blade technique coupled with the versatile Escape Skill created an unstoppable force, unleashing horrifying destructive power.

"Clang! Clang! Clang, clang, clang—"

Lin Rui delivered forty-six slashes in succession before stepping back as he ran out of strength.

By then, over half of his True Qi had been depleted, and he gasped for breath like a broken bellows.

However, the three-legged Mud Demon stood still, and after a short while, its massive body suddenly exploded, blasting debris in all directions and leaving the surrounding buildings within a forty-five-foot radius riddled with holes, all collapsing.

Lin Rui's spirits lifted as he continued to breathe deeply, striving to recover his strength. However, in the next instant, he saw Ji Xueying stand up from the ground with great difficulty, her body swaying from the pain.

Lin Rui immediately sensed trouble. He had tried a few days earlier; the demons that Ji Xueying killed didn't yield any Soul Power points.

"Xue Ying, don't—"

But Ji Xueying had already swung her blade at another Mud Demon.

She couldn't bear to be so useless. Their master had taken on nearly forty percent of her pain and pressure but was still able to wield a blade and fight, slaying demons.

As her protective demon, she couldn't just lie on the ground like a lump of useless mud, could she?

As her blade flashed, the Mud Demon, defenseless, was slashed in two.

The constables watching from a distance all shifted their expressions, their eyes trembling with excitement.

Looking at each other again, they all thought that Constable Lin was more than just capable.

Being able to slay a Mud Demon known for its strong defenses, coupled with his protective demon, there were probably very few in Silver Moon County who could match him.
