Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

```

Could it be—was it the Divine Envoy's initiative, or the instruction of the governor of Shazhou?

What were their objectives? Were they, like the inspector, after the heirlooms of Limitless Saber Venerable Du Zunlong, or were they involved in a dynastic struggle, harbouring other designs?

Besides, Zhang Zhili's mind brimmed with countless other questions.

How did Lin Twelve manage to convince an extraterritorial Heavenly Demon to cooperate, and how did he anticipate their prison break?

For a time, myriad thoughts arose chaotically in his mind, muddling his ability to understand.

Zhang Zhili immediately suppressed these thoughts and turned his gaze sharply around: "Find those bastards from Wang City for me! We need to capture a few alive."

Zhang Zhili had to figure out exactly how Zhu Huaimeng died! Was it a true death or a feigned one?

They couldn't just withdraw in confusion.

To prevent any mishap, they needed to hold a few witnesses to prove that the monster wasn't killed by their hands.

It would be best to capture Qu Zhang Li Guli and the prison warden.

However, at this moment, Zhang Zhili heard a clear voice beside his ear: "Is it just you, a Fifth Realm, who descended here this time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhili's pupils dilated slightly, then his gaze hardened as he looked toward the source of the voice: "Who are you?"

In that instant, a thunderous boom resounded like roaring thunder from within the dense fog, and a figure pounced toward him like a furious dragon: "Then you can forget about capturing anyone alive."

Zhang Zhili swung his saber in defense but felt numbness in his wrist, forcing him to retreat several steps.

"Is it the Sky-Rattling Thunder Method?"

He already knew who it was; this person must be the second-most powerful fighter among that group of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons led by Professor Han, an Imperial-level expert at the pinnacle of the Fourth Realm!

This person's primary martial art was precisely the Sky-Rattling Thunder Method!

What shocked Zhang Zhili even more was another aura that faintly emerged within the dense fog.

"A Fourth Realm Imperial-class?"

Zhang Zhili's heart nearly stopped, in utter disbelief.

This was another Imperial-tier expert of the Fourth Realm!

Most likely also a member of Professor Han's team, another extraterritorial Heavenly Demon!

After only a few exchanges, Zhang Zhili knew the person was extremely strong, fully capable of contending with him!

Together, these two were more than enough to kill him!

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhang Zhili bit the tip of his tongue fiercely and, regardless of the cost, erupted with his qi and blood to fly back, retreating toward the entrance of the prison.

"Everybody retreat!"

His eyes showed a deep sense of shock and doubt.

How could there possibly be two such formidable extraterritorial Heavenly Demons inside this third layer of the prison?

Could it be that Lin Twelve really colluded with the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons?

No, that's not right! A more likely possibility was that this group of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons had infiltrated Lin Twelve's ranks, using Lin Twelve as a pawn to set a trap, wanting to pit forces against each other, trapping their justice department and using the power of the Imperial Guards against them!

The only option now was to retreat and figure out a plan after reaching the surface.

And just half a moment before, outside the prison gate amidst the ruins, Wang Tiandong was furiously bombarding Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's movements were agile, his Escape Skill exceptional, and leveraging the talismans he had dispersed, his form was unpredictable, now to the east, suddenly to the west.

Even though Wang Tiandong was an entire realm higher than Lin Rui in cultivation, he couldn't catch a glimpse of Lin Rui's figure, which made it difficult for him to even get within a five-yard radius of Lin Rui.

```

Wang Tiandong didn't want to give Lin Rui the chance to build up momentum, so he could only swing his double maces with all his might, casting fierce and domineering trails of light extending six yards toward the distant Lin Rui, smashing down in such a way as to prevent Lin Rui from gathering his strength, forcing him to constantly remain in a state of rapid movement.

This made him appear like a tornado, sweeping and destroying everything around him!

A layer of white bones had also covered Wang Tiandong's chest and abdomen.

His cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Fifth Realm Dragon Transformation, allowing the white bones to cover only his chest and back, which greatly enhanced his speed and strength.

However, this also caused a drastic depletion of his vital energy, his chest heaving as he breathed rapidly.

Wang Tiandong knew he must not stop, for a halt would spell death!

He thought desperately, how could there be such a terrifying monster in this world?

Even though he had just entered the Fourth Realm, he possessed such a frightening secret blade technique, which seemed to have been brought to perfection!

When the assistant investigator Hao Pingyi followed those prisoners to the surface, what he saw was this scene.

Hao Pingyi's eyebrows tightened, then without any hesitation, he dashed forward toward Lin Rui's back, launching a sudden attack.

Once he entered the fight, he cooperated with Wang Tiandong extremely tacitly.

Wang Tiandong's mind relaxed slightly, and he immediately spoke out to warn, "Be careful, Brother Hao, this guy has been building up his power all along. I'm incapable and can't stop him, I reckon he's already halfway through."

Hao Pingyi, with an expressionless face, performed his exquisite Escape Skill to rapidly approach Lin Rui.

He had learned about the situation of Lin Twelve's Super Emperor Secret Blade from the mouth of a constable in green, so he was resolute.

At that time, Lin Twelve had used the blade fifteen yards away, it was incredibly fast, piercing through time and space, and killed Feng Guang with a single strike.

However, before the boy made his move, there was an obvious precursor action, probably because his current strength wasn't sufficient and his explosive power was lacking.

This precursor action lasted only a moment, hard for ordinary people to catch, but it wasn't a problem for him.

To deal with this kind of blade technique, one must get as close as possible; the closer the distance, the easier it is to interrupt!

Conversely, a greater distance brought more trouble because the blade disregarded distance and space!

Without this secret blade, the boy would pose no fear—

At this moment, the corners of Lin Rui's lips lifted slightly.

Just as Hao Pingyi closed to a distance of two yards, Lin Rui's left hand suddenly abandoned the blade, forming a hand seal.

In that instant, all one hundred and thirty-seven Flash Thunder Talismans and Bright Light Talismans surrounding the area were simultaneously ignited.

The dazzling strong light caused everyone nearby to squint involuntarily and be blinded for a short duration.

"Thunk!"

The few people nearby only heard an almost imperceptible sound of a blade swinging but couldn't see anything.

When their vision recovered, they saw a large splash of blood erupting from the chest and abdomen of the assistant investigator Hao Pingyi.

A colossal gash suddenly appeared from his right shoulder to the lower left side of his abdomen, and then the upper half of his body on that side quickly slid off.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Tiandong's eyes nearly split apart with rage.

In the instant of the blinding light, Lin Twelve somehow used some sort of blade technique and split Hao Pingyi in two!

Lin Rui then waved his blade again, bringing a streak of light through the void, splitting Hao Pingyi's head in two halves as well, completely severing the man's lifeforce.

It wasn't the 'Light Transition Slash' he had been charging up just now, but another Super Emperor Secret Blade technique that was easier to charge, the 'Yang Pulling Slash'!

The dense fog created by those devil dragon subordinates had inspired him; since the Yang Pulling Slash couldn't be performed openly, he would simply prevent others from seeing it.

Lin Rui's lightning technique could obscure the sight of others just as well!
