"Come!"
The White-clothed Swordsman thrust his Blood Blade repeatedly, continuously bombarding Ji Xueying with strikes.
As Ji Xueying unconsciously fought back with all her might, the figure of the White-clothed Swordsman gradually retreated, luring Ji Xueying away, step by step, until they were ten meters apart.
A force only driven by instinct at the level of Super King, the White-clothed Swordsman could just manage to cope with.
"Kill him!"
Following the command of the White-clothed Swordsman, over a dozen figures from the shadows rushed toward Lin Rui and another person from behind and from above the eaves.
However, in the next instant, another violent, purple Thunder net exploded within the courtyard, spanning ten meters in every direction.
"Pfft!"
In the night sky, four individuals were severed at the waist, their blood spraying across the expanse!
Among them, one had a cultivation reaching mid-fourth-realm! Despite being fully on guard, he still couldn't defend against the knife light that pierced through the void, disregarding space itself.
"Damn! That's the Super King Secret Blade, too fierce! There's no way to defend against it."
"Don't be afraid, he can't use that secret technique continuously!"
"Surround him, and slaughter him!"
"People have already filled his tracks with their lives, kill!"
Wang Sen saw those men in black still daringly rushing over, and he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.
Techniques like Thunderclap Absolute Slash, an S+ grade secret technique, were indeed troublesome to perform, not only requiring a buildup but also consuming a large amount of True Yuan.
However, what followed was a blast of at least fifty Flash Thunder Talismans, exploding and unleashing a massive barrage of thunder.
"Pchit!"
Once more, a vast amount of blood sprayed into the night sky as three black-clothed men, who had closed to within five meters, were cut in two by Lin Rui's purple thunder blade light.
Another person was caught off guard, pierced through the heart by a swift, lightning-like golden flying sword, and fell from the eaves of the left wing building.
Each time Lin Rui executed the Thunderclap Absolute Slash, he could deliver three to four strikes, leaving these assassins utterly powerless.
Yet, more figures approached from the darkness.
"Continue!"
"I refuse to believe he can release the third form of the Super King Secret Blade continuously!"
"Merely a third-realm warrior, how much True Yuan could he have?"
"Slaughter him together!"
At that moment, Lin Rui's whole body burst into golden flames, surrounded by bursts of thunder flashing around him, his eyes turning into a crimson gold color.
His entire being resembled a miniature sun, illuminating the surrounding night as if it were daylight.
"Slaughter!"
This was the third execution of Thunderclap Absolute Slash within two breaths, instantly releasing four strikes, resulting in four bursts of blood plasma in the night sky.
The spattering blood landed in front of Wang Sen's ice shield, instantly turning into ice, making the shield even thicker and more solid.
This round of Thunderclap Absolute Slash finally chilled the hearts of those in black, all the assassins scrambled back in panic, retreating into the darkness, even the White-clothed Swordsman, who was fiercely fighting Ji Xueying, looked towards Lin Rui in utter surprise.
"What is this? Super King Talent—Blood Core Fury Sun! A third-realm king level?"
He realized the situation was troubling. With 'Blood Core Fury Sun,' Lin Rui not only had high quality and quantity of True Qi, but his recovery capability was also freakish.
Continuous Super-King class Secret Blade techniques?
This guy had also refined this secret technique to the peak of perfection, whether it be the speed of his blade strikes or their lethality, both were terrifyingly extreme.
His subordinates' assassins, none could withstand the fierce purple blade edge.
Who would have thought that there could be such a terrifying third-realm king in this world, his current peak-level blade techniques, giving him a combat strength far beyond his peers.
At this moment, if his subordinates' assassins could truly fearlessly charge forward in continuous waves, they could still potentially kill this Lin Rui.
They would at most sacrifice a dozen more lives.
The problem was the assassins of the Iron Killing Hall were not cultivated by them but recruited from the martial world, including some demon cultivators, and simply couldn't achieve true unwavering obedience.
And today, the losses they had incurred already made the White-clothed Swordsman's scalp go numb.
Lin Rui, however, slightly raised the corners of his mouth—this was exactly why he had spent a fortune to cultivate Blood Core Fury Sun!
He had even not hesitated to borrow six million to purchase a bloodline strengthening potion, to awaken this Super King Talent through 'xenogeneic assimilation effects' as quickly as possible!
The blood of Guang Ming not only greatly increased his affinity with the light element but also significantly increased his blade speed and strength.
But without sufficient True Yuan support, this increased affinity and blade speed and strength would be meaningless.
"Stay as far away as possible!"
"Such a terrifying blade! This is akin to suicide, unless one is of the fifth realm or the fourth realm king tier, otherwise, I fear no one could withstand this move."
"Keep your distance, his secret blade only reaches seventy feet eight inches, it's safe beyond that distance."
"Shoot bolts and flying needles at him! That chubby guy is only at the third realm, he can't hold on much longer."
"And be careful of his flying sword, someone just got accidentally stabbed to death by it."
Wang Sen's mouth corner turned bitter.
The number of bolts and flying needles instantly multiplied in that moment.
Fortunately, these assassins were not using military crossbows; they were using portable rapid-firing short crossbows, however, the layers of ice he had accumulated in front of the shield still shattered quickly.
Wang Sen thought to himself that he still became a burden to Brother Rui.
He knew that although Lin Rui couldn't use talismans for escape now, he could still manage to cope with these assassins using nearby buildings.
One must know Brother Rui's Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill was of the Great Grandmaster level!
Even those fifth realm experts, in terms of agility and movements, are not necessarily better than him, it is only because they have higher cultivation, better physical condition, and quicker reactions that they can suppress Lin Rui.
Wang Sen took a deep breath, he steadied himself, keeping calm, and without showing any signs, he blew the scattered talisman powder to the appropriate position.
But he did not know whether this tactic would work, his voice strained, "Brother Twelve, if things go wrong, just leave first, don't worry about me! Since we chose this line of work, fate dictates our lives, I'm resigned to it! Remember, Brother Twelve, absolutely do not force it!"
Lin Rui glanced sideways at Wang Sen in front, then smiled and looked away.
This was a brother he could entrust his life to, but now it was not yet that dire.
At this moment, Lin Rui was gathering energy and raised his hand, grabbing a blood-red short blade in his hand.
—This was the Blood Covenant blade from Ji Xueying!
Lin Rui thought about Ji Xueying's problem, it must be related to the Blood Covenant.
However, after the incident in Silver Moon County, he had repeatedly checked Ji Xueying's body, using his own Great Grandmaster level foundational formation and Great Grandmaster level Magic Control Divine Technique, to eliminate all hidden threats.
The foundation of the Blood Covenant within Ji Xueying's body was no longer problematic.
Lin Rui realized he was in a blind spot, perhaps the issue involved not only Ji Xueying's body but also this "Blood Covenant blade!"
Lin Rui pondered for a moment, then his lips curved slightly in a smile.
He suddenly squeezed hard, causing hairline cracks to appear on the covenant blade.
The distant white-clothed swordsman saw this scene and was momentarily stunned.
"What are you doing?"
The white-clothed swordsman then realized what was happening, his face turned ashen, "Think it through, once this covenant blade is broken, you will forever lose your Blood Blade Ji."
Lin Rui laughed, "Ha," and continued to press hard until he shattered the covenant blade, also breaking the Blood Covenant between him and Ji Xueying!
His eyes were as sharp as blades, filled with a hint of mockery as he looked at the white-clothed swordsman, "Why should I worry? I feel instead that our 'bond' would only grow deeper! The ties between us are not bound by such a mere Blood Covenant."
Meanwhile, in Ji Xueying's dream.
Yuan Ji had been coldly observing Ji Xueying, who was engulfed in burning blood flames, struggling madly.
At this moment, the body of Blood Blade Ji in the dream was actually her Primordial Spirit transformed, so the blood flames were actually burning Ji Xueying's Primordial Spirit.
"Your struggle is futile! No matter how hard you try, it's useless and will only cause you more pain."
Yuan Ji shook his head slightly, showing a trace of impatience in his eyes.
The people from the Iron Killing Hall outside, how have they not dealt with Lin Twelve yet? Is that boy really that troublesome? Is his blade really that sharp?
It was at this moment that Yuan Ji's expression subtly changed, a profound shock rising in his heart.
"Could it be? How dare this guy? How dare he break the covenant blade?"
The battling Ji Xueying also suddenly stilled as she felt all the constraints on her vanish.
At the same time, she sensed the words Lin Rui said outside.
"The bonds between us are not constrained by such a mere Blood Covenant—"
Ji Xueying slightly bowed her head, using her hair to cover her face, followed by an infinite surge of blood flames erupting from within her.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Ji Xueying's murderous intent peaked, and her magic power also forcefully crossed a threshold, madly soaring!
