Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui also saw the demons in the river.

He had been prepared, standing ready for battle.

By this time, Lin Rui had already raised his "Defense Envoy" official Dharma Seal high into the sky, and over 100 pale yellow talismans floated out from his sleeves, hovering around him.

However, the first thing Lin Rui had to face was the hundreds of water arrows and Wind Blades stirred up from the river.

Most of those demons were of the water type, stirring up winds and waves as their forte. At a distance of more than eighty zhang, unaffected by the suppression of the official seal, the water arrows shot towards him with force comparable to a high-pressure water gun, and the water contained a certain amount of toxin.

The Wind Blades slashing through the air also possessed formidable power, relentlessly aiming at Lin Rui, whistling through the air, incredibly sharp.

"These cursed beasts!" Lin Rui's eyes showed helplessness as he had to recall those talismans and continued to form Dharma Seals with one hand while moving throughout the Array.

Normally, Lin Rui would have used an Escape Skill to flee, never foolishly staying put to be their target.

The issue was that the Array he was presiding over was the foundation of the Blood Blade warrioress's "Divine Altar Golden Body."

The moment Lin Rui left the Array, the magic would fail, greatly reducing Blood Blade's combat capabilities.

Therefore, he could only stay within the Array, shifting and dodging in a small range, and if he truly couldn't avoid it, he would rely on his armor to bear the brunt.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this scene well in advance, choosing a high terrain hill, and the side facing the river was also very steep, which halved the power of those water arrows and Wind Blades as they surged upward.

The fifth-order heavy armor and fifth-order divine bristle armor worn by Lin Rui were also very powerful. Not only were the water arrows unable to shake him, but even the Wind Blades unleashed by those demons couldn't break through the defenses of the two types of armor.

Only the high-pressure washing of the water arrows posed a certain threat to the Array he had set up.

The elemental stones Lin Rui had laid were embedded in the mud layer, but as the water flooded over them, the elemental stones began to loosen, and the various talismans within the Array started to fail one after another. Lin Rui had no choice but to move around while making repairs.

Luckily, at this time, the temperature around him dropped sharply, reaching below freezing point in an instant.

Not only did a layer of ice form on Lin Rui's armor, but the ground also began to rapidly freeze over,

Seeing this, Lin Rui couldn't help but smile. The ice was forming perfectly, stabilizing his Array in an instant.

His whole body ignited with crimson golden flames, combating the severe cold all around him.

Lin Rui was also exceedingly careful not to melt the layer of ice beneath his feet.

At that moment, he abruptly drew his blade and slashed continuously into the void, causing several bursts of blood light to explode in front of the hill!

These were several Four-Realm demons that had stealthily approached near the Array, which Lin Rui decapitated from over twenty meters away with a single slash, killing them on the spot!

Originally, there were also three Five-Realm demons that had stealthily approached the foot of the hill.

Seeing this, they all frowned and temporarily stopped in their tracks.

This Lin Defense Envoy's combat power was a bit beyond their expectations.

That ability to kill from a distance with the Super King Secret Blade chilled them to the bone, instilling fear and apprehension!

This fellow was slaying those Four-Realm demons as effortlessly as slaughtering pigs and dogs.

The demon dragon above the Tianxiang River saw this scene and was immediately filled with rage, "You bunch of idiots, go up there and kill him for me!"

It wanted these subordinates to rush up and kill, not to stay in the river and spray water at Lin rui!

The demon dragon, hovering thirty zhang high, had a wider and broader view. It had already spotted a large group of fully-armed county soldiers rushing their way along the river.

Pressed by the dragon's roar and its imposing presence, the demons swarmed, rushing onto the shore in dense numbers, pouncing in the direction of Lin Rui.

But as soon as they charged halfway up the hillside, they saw a vast expanse of purple thunderous sea. Around Lin Rui, a hundred talismans detonated at once, forming a network of thunder covering a radius of twenty zhang.

At the riverside location, thunder magic was more effective.

Hence, this time he used intermediate-level 'Thunder Bomb Talismans', each several times more powerful than the initial 'Flash Thunder Talismans.'

That network of thunder then gathered under Lin Rui's control into thick, purple thunder serpents as wide as an arm, roaring down the hill!

In that instant, a total of twenty-three Third-Realm demons were struck by the purple thunder serpents, their bodies completely disintegrated into ash.

Another five demons, though they withstood the hit, were severely injured on the spot, lying on the ground wailing in agony.

Notification: Slaying a Third-Realm demon, gained 532 points of Soul Power.

Notification: Slaying a Third-Realm demon, gained 451 points of Soul Power.

Notification: Slaying a Third-Realm demon, gained 592 points of Soul Power.

At this moment, a multitude of notifications popped up in Lin Rui's mind, but he was momentarily too preoccupied to pay attention. With a flick of his sleeve, another 100 or more 'Thunder Bomb Talismans' slipped out from within and floated around within a twenty zhang radius.

"Boom!"

These talismans exploded simultaneously, lifting a majestic purple thunder net into the air. In an instant, more than thirty ferocious purple thunder snakes struck down fiercely.

"Hmm?"

Li Changguo, hovering in the sky, had been keeping his attention on Lin Rui. He couldn't help but be startled, a hint of surprise flashing in his pupils, "This guy has quite a skill with the Thunder Control Technique!"

He had not expected that this man surnamed Lin would possess such a powerful and profound mastery of mystic arts!

Half a month earlier, when Li Changguo had clashed with Lin Rui, he knew that the man was skilled in both martial and mystic arts.

Yet, Li Changguo never imagined that Lin Rui's mystic arts would be so formidable, almost rivaling his own martial prowess.

Lin Rui not only executed the arts smoothly but also, whether it was the speed of casting spells or the ability to manipulate thunder magic, stood at the very top among the mystic artists of the Four Realms.

That Magistrate Qin Xia's eyes also brightened as he loudly praised 'Good!'

His spirit greatly buoyed, he completely let go of his concerns for Lin Rui and devoted himself to fighting the demon dragon with all his might.

With Lin Rui's ability in magic, he could definitely hold out until Qin Xia's forces arrived.

Just using magic alone naturally couldn't withstand the hundreds of the demon dragon's followers.

The key lay in Lin Rui's talismans, as one 'Thunder Bomb Talisman' after another kept sliding continuously from his sleeves.

This type of intermediate-level talisman was worth at least two taels of demon silver, being the most expensive and difficult to craft among all the mid-level talismans.

Yet Lin Rui spared no expense, as if he had an inexhaustible supply.

His 'Blood Core Fury Yang' bloodline was also in an excited state, with a radiance of blazing fire illuminating the surroundings within a radius of one mile.

This allowed Lin Rui's True Qi and spiritual power to flow endlessly, sustaining his energy channels.

"Bastard!"

The demon dragon also felt a twinge of alarm, its gaze deep with dark intent. Judging by the battle situation on the hill, even if all its followers perished, they might still be unable to storm the hilltop.

Had it known this earlier, it would have preferred to keep them in the water to spit together.

However, such third-realm demonic creatures were very easy to cultivate, virtually available in whatever numbers it desired.

If it weren't for Magistrate Qin Xia leading his troops to clean up the riverbank and continually striking during its period of injury, the third-realm demonic creatures under its command could have easily exceeded a thousand by now.

Therefore, the demon dragon didn't care about the deaths and injuries of these third-realm demons; it only hated that it couldn't slaughter that bastard surnamed Lin!

It immediately let out another furious roar, "Wu Fei! Wu Jian! If you brothers don't make a move now, believe it or not, I'll eat you alive!"

And right after the roar that shook the entire riverbank, a mist began to spread over the hilltop around Lin Rui.

Seeing this, the distant government official Dong Linghui's heart sank, "Not good!"

These were the fifth-realm demonic creatures under the demon dragon's command, making moves against Lin Rui.

While these fifth-realm demons were weak in combat and couldn't join the great battle between the demon dragon and the others, they posed a fatal threat to Lin Rui, who was only at the fourth realm.

The main purpose of the mist was not to obscure Lin Rui's perception, but to guide the purple lightning and divert the divine might of the thunder net.

At this moment in the center of the dense fog, however, Lin Rui was slightly stunned.

These demons were actually producing fog? Such a turn of good fortune?

It was in that instant that Lin Rui sensed at least five powerful presences swiftly approaching the hilltop under the cover of the thick fog.

Lin Rui didn't hesitate to reach for the long blade at his waist.

Yang Pulling Slash, strike!

The moment he drew the blade from its sheath, he transformed into a burst of golden light!

Although the weapon Lin Rui used now was far from comparable to 'Super King Secret Blade,' his blade speed, aided by the surrounding thunder net, was so fast that it surpassed the limits of the naked eye and became challenging to capture.

Puh!

Accompanied by two splashes of blood in the fog, two powerful demonic creatures that had closed within seven meters of Lin Rui were instantly cut in half, their bodies burning like torches!

Notification: Slaying the fifth-realm demon, you've gained 4592 points of Soul Power.

Notification: Slaying the fifth-realm demon, you've gained 4321 points of Soul Power.

The remaining three demons within the fog trembled in terror, overwhelmingly alarmed!

It wasn't the death of their comrades that scared them, but in that instant, they felt an immensely vast spiritual force enveloping the area, twisting the very fabric of the world.

It seemed to be — an abyss!
