“Grandmaster-level Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill?”
Zhu Tianmao furrowed his brows, his gaze serious, “Damn!”
He had discerned that Lin Rui’s Escape Skill had reached the pinnacle of mastery, transforming to a new level, no less than those higher-level Escape Skills. Combined with the power of ‘Guang Ming’s Blood,’ it had beco even more diverse, possessing a hint of being as fast as light and electricity.
Zhu Tianmao even suspected that this fellow might have cultivated this skill to the Great Grandmaster level.
And it was not just the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill; the Blade Technique used by Lin Rui was also refined to the utmost simplicity, divinely inspired, and wonderfully mysterious!
The problem was this guy was just over eighteen years old, and at 18 he had mastered two interdiate Cultivation Techniques to Grandmaster level?
...
Such talent was unprecedented to Zhu Tianmao.
Zhu Tianmao had originally thought that he could resolve Lin Rui within three to five strikes.
But now, after a full ten breaths, Zhu Tianmao still had not managed to seriously injure Lin Rui.
This made him feel that he had misjudged; had he known earlier, he would have simply waited for Lin Rui to approach him, and then he wouldn’t need to be in the current situation where the Array had been unattended for a full ten breaths, already falling into a state of disorder.
However, at that mont, Zhu Tianmao inexplicably felt a sense of crisis and wanted to kill Lin Rui as quickly as possible.
Now, the sense of crisis in Zhu Tianmao’s heart had not only not disappeared, but had beco even stronger, pricking his heart like needles.
At that mont, Zhu Tianmao suddenly had an inspiration and looked toward Lin Rui’s left hand.
The fellow had been forming signs with one hand the entire ti, using the hand signs of the Soul Summoning Technique, but Zhu Tianmao did not know what he intended to do.
And forming signs with one hand was sothing only possible when one had mastered the technique to the pinnacle.
Zhu Tianmao squinted his eyes, directly asking, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing?”
This ti, Lin Rui did not sing; his eyes mocking as he said, “Your Demon Refining Array is clever, but sadly it lacks adaptability. I guess your Array was probably set up by so other expert on your behalf.”
Zhu Tianmao was slightly disturbed by these words.
The Array here was indeed not his handiwork.
Zhu Tianmao had only arrived in Wang City yesterday; how could he have had the ti?
It was Blood Blade Miao Shi who had set up this Array, as he was currently at Firescar Mansion restraining the Capital Commandant’s seventh-rank Inspector, Zhuang Mingyue.
But what did that have to do with his level of proficiency in Arrays?
Zhu Tianmao seed enlightened: “Are you the sorcerer from earlier?”
That is, the one who had destroyed the southeastern corner of this Demon Refining Array while simultaneously hunting down over a hundred demonic cultivators under his nephew’s command.
For a mont, Zhu Tianmao’s heart tightened, yet he quickly cald down.
Such a thod, Lin Rui definitely could not replicate it a second ti; it required ti.
“Of course, it was . You think you’re the only one proficient in both martial and magical arts?” Lin Rui scoffed, “Weren’t you wondering what I was up to? Now, you can take a look behind you.”
Zhu Tianmao imdiately turned around, then shockingly discovered that the 20-zhang tall Purple Brilliance Yuan Crystal behind him had suddenly developed dense cracks, and he could continuously hear a ‘crackling’ sound coming from within the crystal.
Zhu Tianmao suddenly thought of sothing, his complexion instantly drastically changing.
“When I was outside earlier, I thought, isn’t the Imperial Fla Battle Dragon still alive? It has always been here guarding its master.”
Lin Rui smiled, a strange gleam in his eyes, “So what do you think will happen if it were to wake up now?”
The few people in the underground palace, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but change their expressions dramatically.
Zhu Tianmao’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Zhang Tianchang’s spirit soared, his eyes shining with excitent.
So that was Lin Rui’s real plan!
In the crystal coffin, Ji Xueying’s eyes glowed brightly!
anwhile, the ‘crackling’ sound from the Yuan Crystal grew louder, and the internal cracks multiplied.
Without hesitation, Zhu Tianmao abandoned facing Lin Rui and returned to the Array altar.
He placed one hand on the Purple Brilliance Yuan Crystal in front of him, striving to prevent it from bursting further while also forcefully suppressing the consciousness of the Imperial Fla Battle Dragon.
He had finally understood Lin Rui’s intention.
It was still the Soul Summoning Technique, but the fellow was not, as he had guessed, using it to interfere with the operation of his Array. Instead, he wanted to awaken the Imperial Fla Battle Dragon inside the Yuan Crystal.
The problem was that the fellow had actually achieved it! Simply with the re one-realm Soul Summoning Technique, he had truly disrupted the huge Purple Brilliance Yuan Crystal, continuously causing the Imperial Fla Battle Dragon’s consciousness to awaken!
Finally, Lin Rui no longer needed to dodge; standing still, he first gave a sneer, then broke into a fit of severe coughing, spitting up more blood which contained fragnts of his internal organs.
The situation had just been too dangerous; his mind felt like it was going to explode, and he had to deal with the attack from this fifth-realm eunuch.
Lin Rui felt he had been on the verge of death several tis; a slight misstep in his response would have resulted in his death at the hands of this fifth-realm eunuch.
If the forr had persisted for another 7 to 8 seconds, Lin Rui would have exhausted all his True Yuan and couldn’t have held on any longer.
All his moves and all his Escape Skills were major consurs of True Yuan; just a few seconds of fighting had consud over half of his True Yuan.
So he really had to thank the County Magistrate. If not for the Capital Commandant’s badge he had given, enhancing all aspects of his physical abilities by a half-realm and greatly increasing his margin for error, he would most likely have been dead by now!
But his current state was still disastrous, after all, it was a third-realm bearing the brunt of a fifth-realm; although he had only received twelve strikes, it had cost him heavily.
Lin Rui’s lungs and viscera were almost beaten to pulp by Zhu Tianmao, and his vital energy was severely damaged.
The eunuch’s sword force, although not extrely fierce, was very sinister, sowhat like the Bone lting Palm, directly attacking a person’s heart, lungs, and marrow.
Lin Rui had barely stopped coughing when he suddenly shouted with a surge of spirit, “Old Zhang! What are you still doing standing there?”
Zhang Tianchang had been gathering strength all along, and he bellowed in response, “You don’t need to tell that!”
He leapt up, using his most powerful move, “Vajra Breaks the Demon”, and slamd down on the formation ahead.
Zhu Tianmao’s heart tightened slightly, as he was now about 10 ters away from Zhang Tianchang and powerless to stop him, he could only swing his sword from afar, fully unleashing his sword qi to snipe at Zhang Tianchang.
He realized he had made a big mistake!
With the situation at this juncture, there was actually no need to try and salvage it. He should have made a decisive move to either flee imdiately or go all out to kill Lin Twelve before the “Imperial Fla Battle Dragon” awakened!
Now he found himself trapped in a desperate situation.
The sword qi clanged through the air and struck Zhang Tianchang’s body, montarily piercing his tough exterior with dozens of bloody holes.
Zhang Tianchang, however, ignored it all. His veins bulged, his eyes protruded wildly, and his face twisted fiercely as he concentrated all his strength into his fist.
“Break for ! Break!”
As long as he could shatter this array, everything here today could end, and everyone from their Silver Moon County could survive without needing to self-immolate!
As he punched down, the ground shook instantly, not only cracking with a snap but also sending countless fragnts of rocks flying into the air by Zhang Tianchang’s unmatched strength.
The giant spider-web-like cracks extended up to ten ters outward, and the destructive, violent Gang Qi and shockwaves swept all around, almost causing Lin Rui, who was standing five ters away, to lose his footing, stumble backward, and nearly fall to the ground.
Zhang Tianchang’s punch had shattered nearly half of the entire array, and the other half, after a brief pause, was backlashed by the violent True Yuan, tearing all the runes and elental stones to pieces!
“How dare you?”
Zhu Tianmao had long anticipated this scene, but still closed his eyes in pain, feeling a boundless fury growing inside him.
Then he saw an even more terrifying sight, Ji Xueying’s crystal coffin was cracking inch by inch.
Zhu Tianmao’s pupils dilated, thinking that this Fourth Realm Blood Blade Ji could actually break free by herself? Had she awakened so additional bloodline? Her strength was so formidable!
Not good!
Zhu Tianmao didn’t hesitate to flash away from his spot, escaping towards an exterior tunnel.
He had to leave this place as quickly as possible, or else the consequences were unimaginable.
But in that instant, Ji Xueying’s crystal coffin suddenly exploded open, a dazzling red shadow burst out and pursued at an unimaginable speed!
She actually got ahead of Zhu Tianmao, intercepting him right at the tunnel entrance, her hands and feet swinging the fine tal chains, furiously smashing them down at Zhu Tianmao.
At that mont, she needed no martial arts, rely using her instincts to fight, channeling her power through pure, extre hatred and intent to kill. She wanted to slaughter the eunuch regardless of the cost—slaughter this beast!
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The dense shadows of the chains had hamred Zhu Tianmao into a retreating stagger, even causing blood to seep out from the grip of his sword.
As soone of a superior level, nearing the power of a King-level warrior, he had been hamred into disarray by a re fourth-level fighter.
His strength and speed were all three parts inferior to this Blood Blade Ji!
The chains wielded by Ji Xueying moved like beams of light, startlingly fast, such that even soone as strong as Zhu Tianmao often couldn’t react in ti.
Moreover, the violent thunder that accompanied the chains continuously shattered his Protective Gang Qi, occasionally paralyzing him and disrupting his movents, while endless flas scorched his body.
Zhu Tianmao couldn’t help but taste bitterness in his mouth.
This was the Imperial Fla Blood Blade Ji—no! It was a new variant, combining the powers of fire, thunder, and light!
This was an entirely new species, and undoubtedly, her bloodline level was now beyond imperial, and her spiritual power talent was terrifyingly high.
Damn it! All his efforts had unexpectedly turned into a wedding gown for Lin Rui, cultivating a beyond-imperial-level monster with his own hands!
He suddenly looked back, gazing coldly at Lin Rui: “Lin Rui, she’s your protective demon, isn’t she? Do you even know what you’re doing? I am the chief of the inner service in Prince Han’s residence, a sixth-rank eunuch. You dare to harbor a monster, attack court officials—are you seeking death?”
Lin Rui smirked with mockery in his eyes, turning back to look at Zhu Tianmao, “According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty’s founder, anyone who colludes with demons and drives them to create havoc shall be captured imdiately, and whoever dares to resist shall be killed without rcy! So, are you going to surrender now, or continue to resist arrest?”
Without anyone noticing, he had also ford a single-handed seal, held in front of his chest, precisely the Soul Summoning Technique!
Zhang Tianchang also very much wanted to kill Zhu Tianmao; he didn’t care who this person was! He wasn’t concerned about any Prince Han either; he just wanted this pri culprit to pay the price.
But as he watched their two-person fight from a distance, he felt he couldn’t even get involved.
Zhang Tianchang simply walked over to Lin Rui, guarding him with his body, and while watching the battle, he comnted with a sense of amazent, “Amazing, rely a mid-fourth level, not even using her favorite weapon, yet she’s suppressing a near King-level fifth boundary peak.”
This must be a beyond-imperial-level Blood Blade Ji!
Lin Rui had really hit the jackpot by subduing Ji Xueying!
After this turmoil is over, the bond between this man and demon will certainly reach its peak, and there will no longer be any risk of the demon turning on its master.
With this protective demon helping him, Lin Rui would even be a leading figure throughout Wang City County.
Lin Rui also felt he had made a huge gain, his face brimming with smiles.
Today he had staked 200 tis, and then he won!
Just then, the twenty-zhang tall giant purple luminescent crystal emitted a crisp ‘crack’ sound, and the Imperial Fla Battle Dragon inside suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of sky-blue pupils.
