Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At 2 a.m., Lin Rui injected himself with the fifth Type-3 Heterogeneous Bloodline Enhancing Agent.

At that moment, his spine finally underwent a change, emitting a lava-like high temperature— a scorching warm current poured into his blood vessels, extending to his limbs and entire body.

Lin Rui didn't feel the heat scalding at all, but rather found it very comfortable, his whole body warm.

His entire body also seemed to ignite like flames, radiating pieces of thunderlight.

Lin Rui's "Concealing Breath Skill," having been mastered to the level of Grandmaster, quickly contained the ethereal elements caused by these phenomena, otherwise, the disturbance he caused would have been ten times greater than it currently was.

Lin Rui concentrated, sensing the changes within his body, his lips slightly curving upward.

He had just injected the fifth Bloodline Enhancing Agent when he awakened an imperial-level bloodline talent—"Blood Core Fury Sun."

As soon as this talent awakened, his physical condition was enhanced along with it, his body's positive True Qi also surged nearly twofold, beginning an endless cycle.

Lin Rui had been a bit worried.

The sale price of the Type-3 Heterogeneous Bloodline Enhancer was up to 1 million Federation currency per unit, totaling 6 million for six units.

Had these six continuous injections failed to awaken his bloodline, it would have been a huge loss.

The Bloodline Enhancer, a special genetic medicine, could be used consecutively to stack effects and push the threshold of bloodline genes to extreme mutations, aiding a person in ascending and refining their bloodline.

However, if subsequent drugs weren't maintained, the power inducing bloodline mutations would continue to decrease, rendering the previous doses useless.

But now it seemed, the connection between him and his body was very tight and the integration effect of the xenogeneic was especially apparent; the fifth unit had just been injected, and he had already awakened the imperial-level bloodline talent.

Lin Rui continued more vigorously, refining Light Blood and Flame Blood.

This was an upper-level talent, much easier compared to "Blood Core Fury Sun."

Lin Rui, experienced in refining Thunder Blood, and the effect of Type-3 drugs being five times that of Type-2 drugs,

hadn't even injected the sixth unit when he had already completed the refining of these two bloodlines, significantly enhancing his affinity and efficiency with the two ethereal elements of light and fire. Your next journey awaits at empire

Lin Rui was satisfied.

Lin Rui estimated that his bloodline power could definitely be considered at the third-stage king level!

Together with his Grandmaster-level martial arts, his far superior physical condition, and spiritual power, as well as his mysterious and magical Escape Skill, his actual combat power could only be stronger.

At this moment, Lin Rui's body was covered in sweat.

The tingling pain from injecting the Bloodline Enhancer was intensely stimulating, causing Lin Rui to sweat profusely all night.

Although the flames on his body dried the sweat, the salt stuck to his skin was extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Rui walked to the well in the courtyard and took a bath, feeling clean and refreshed. Just as he was preparing to return to his room to sleep, he suddenly sensed something, his gaze turning solemnly towards the courtyard outside.

It seemed there were visitors in the government office—a group of unwelcomed ones!

※※※※

Meanwhile, at the front courtyard of Wang City Government Office, the bookkeeper Wen Tailai, who was on duty today, held a knife with a pale face, keeping silent and leaning against the wall, stepping carefully toward the direction of the bell tower in the office.

With only 30 feet more, he could enter the bell tower and ring the warning bell inside to alert the government office while also calling for help from the county office and county soldiers.

But just as he stepped into the shadow of the bell tower under the moonlight, someone grabbed his shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Wen Tailai, initially so frightened that his heart nearly stopped, relaxed only after recognizing the voice, "Brother Dou?"

The man behind him was none other than Dou Ming, the sixth grade judicial commissioner of the criminal trial.

Wen Tailai turned and clutched Dou Ming's arm, his voice trembling, "There are assassins, many of them! Please, Brother Dou, lend a hand to my family."

He was greatly relieved that he had insisted Dou Ming and the others stay, giving the lord of the government office a slim chance of survival.

Dou Ming also looked in the direction of the government office, saying gravely, "It appears to be people from the Iron Kill Hall, at least 60, no! Perhaps over 80, and there is a high expert of the fifth realm. Brother Wen, your superior is in extreme danger."

Wen Tailai's body trembled again.

Iron Kill Hall was a notorious assassin organization in Sha State City, spanning several counties and enlisting many martial experts.

His voice filled with disbelief and alarm, "Iron Kill Hall? They dare to assassinate an officer? An officer from our Imperial City Guard?"

"Why wouldn't they dare? Didn't Wang City just lose over 200 people not long ago, and the former Guard also got his head taken?"

Dou Ming said expressionlessly, "They've placed a sound-isolation array outside the government office, sneaking around endlessly. From the looks of it, they want to replicate the bloodshed incident from a month ago. It's likely that everyone in the government office today could die."

This was clearly aimed to blame the assassination of the official on those Heavenly Demons from beyond the territory.

It was undoubtedly the doing of Yuan Ji, that wealthy merchant from Jingport.

The appointment of Lin Rui to Wang City as a defender for Sha State was clearly aimed at Yuan Ji and Han Wang's mansion.

The faction within the Imperial City's department had recently, due to conflicts in politics and business, fiercely contested with Han Wang's mansion.

Wen Tailai's spirit chilled, "I must ask Dou Ming to make a move—"

But when he turned his head, he saw Dou Ming standing with his hands behind his back, his expression cold and his eyes mocking.

He suddenly felt very estranged from this old friend, and abruptly realized something.

Wen Tailai glared angrily at Dou Ming, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the direction of the clock tower.

There was no time left, he must signal the alarm immediately.

However, just then, Wen Tailai felt a gust of wind from behind, and before he could react, he was struck at the back of the head, the tremendous impact knocking him out immediately.

"Foolish!" Dou Ming shook his head slightly, "You're seeking death by ringing the alarm now?"

In Dou Ming's view, he had saved his old friend's life.

He then carried Wen Tailai's body towards the direction of the prison.

Dou Ming's subordinates, over twenty strong men, were with him, and the prison in Wang City was extremely fortified; as long as they could defend the prison gate, the assassins could do nothing to them.

As for those from the Imperial Guard in the government office and the newly appointed Defense Officer Lin Rui—

Dou Ming's gaze was mocking, yet also filled with anticipation.

This person was actually a significant obstacle to their ongoing investigation into the Heavenly Demon case.

This Wang City Government Office of the Imperial City's department was actually a trap they had set for someone, but they had to change their plans temporarily due to the arrival of Lin Rui.

So, it would be best if this young man died tonight.

Lin Rui was unaware of the situation outside the government office and had never expected any.

He poised one hand on his blade while talismans flew from his sleeve like little birds released, dispersing in all directions.

These talismans contained some metal, allowing Lin Rui to directly control their flight without relying on flying needles.

Meanwhile, Lin Rui glanced doubtfully to the left towards the chamber where Blood Blade Ji resided.

Wang Sen was one thing, but Blood Blade Ji's perception was not inferior to his; why was there still no movement?

Could it be that the gene-enhancing drug was too intense, causing Blood Blade Ji's condition to deteriorate?

No!

Lin Rui frowned, finding that the Blood Covenant connection between him and Ji Xueying had been disrupted again.

The last time this happened was in Silver Moon County, during that great battle with Zhu Lingshi at the county government office.

Lin Rui already had a vague guess and made a decisive decision.

Being heavily outnumbered, he had to strike first!

In that instant, a mighty thunder exploded around him.

Sixty Flash Thunder Talismans ignited all at once, creating a thunder net around Lin Rui within a five-meter radius.

Lin Rui's waist blade transformed into a trace of light that slashed into the night sky.

This blade was the S+ secret blade—Thunderclap Absolute Slash!

He had switched to a better side blade, although not as good as 'Thor's Hammer'; it was a four-realm Yanling Blade seized from Zhu Lingshi.

"Be careful!"

"Not good!"

From the front of the inner government office, a cry of alarm followed, then a spray of blood; three figures appeared in the darkness, sliced in two from twenty meters away by Lin Rui's blade!

Finally, Wang Sen realized the peril, holding a shield as he burst out from the neighboring chamber to position himself in front of Lin Rui.

At the same time, countless flying needles and bolts shot towards them from the darkness.
