Chapter 261 Qi Yan (Third update, please subscribe)
"The 'Xuanhuo Saber' Qi Yan?"
Yuan Chengkai had already recognized Qi Yan's identity and chuckled at himself, "It seems my luck is not very good today, to have encountered a fallen dog of a household."
"Indeed, but you are hardly one to talk!" Qi Yan huffed lightly, flying to the mast of the official ship and coming to a stop.
At the same time, a cluster of flames gathered at the rear deck of this ship, gradually solidifying into his Seventh Realm combat dragon, the 'Flame Blood Burning Dragon'."
Yuan Chengkai did not stop him, but looked at Qi Yan's chest and abdomen sword wound with a peculiar expression: "Was this cut by Meng Weiyun? It seems this woman has indeed made great progress in the martial path, nearing the Seventh Realm. It must be quite uncomfortable for you now?"
"Burning agony within! Fortunately, I do not have to endure it much longer."
Qi Yan replied succinctly.
And just these few words caused a large amount of fresh blood to continuously spill from his mouth.
The state of Qi Yan's 'Flame Blood Burning Dragon' was also poor, with seventeen or eighteen wounds over its body, the blood seeping out kindling upon contact with the air.
Qi Yan took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured all of its liquid contents into his mouth: "Many thanks!"
This was not only because Yuan Chengkai allowed him to find refuge on the ship but also because this Governor of Sha State extended his powerful divine consciousness, helping to shield Qi Yan's vital energy, allowing him time to rest and recover from his injuries before taking action.
He had chosen the water route precisely to conceal the fiery aura that permeated his being.
Even so, both man and dragon had to constantly evaporate water vapor to cloak their bodies.
This was greatly draining, but now they could catch their breath.
Qi Yan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "However, I heard that you place the utmost importance on rules and regulations. Aren't you afraid that your battle dragon will reject you for acting this way?"
Governor Yuan Chengkai's battle dragon was the 'Heaven Rein Battle Dragon', refined through seven generations of Yuan's family rites.
What is meant by Rein? It signifies law and order!
This battle dragon was cultivated step by step by generations of the Yuan family, worshipping the 'Divine Law Venerable' and basing itself on legalism.
Yuan Chengkai's ascension to the Eighth Realm and his attainment were deeply indebted to the power of this familial battle dragon.
However, if his entire cultivation was dependent on this dragon, he was also restricted by it and had to adhere to the rules left by his ancestors, unable to do as he pleased.
The downside of familial battle dragons was that, while their combat power was extremely strong, almost universally at the imperial rank or even above with bloodline powers and the augmentation of abyssal concepts, they also possessed the sentience of an adult.
However, correspondingly, these battle dragons act on their own will, abiding by the laws of the abyss, and must not stray.
Even someone as powerful as the Governor of Sha State would suffer backlash and pay a heavy price if they went against the will of their battle dragon.
So despite the fact that this man has used various means to eliminate opposition since taking office, everything has actually been within the rules of the court.
"I am no longer the Governor, nor a court official; I'm just a criminal official who has been dismissed and detained by the court."
Yuan Chengkai raised his wine cup, toying with it before his eyes.
But the ice would eventually melt, especially since he was a Martial Cultivator of fire techniques, which would accelerate the melting.
"Let the leader set sail now," said Yuan Chengkai, the governor of Shazhou, with a calm look. He did not even bother to look back at Qi Yan, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible."
The woman in blue narrowed her eyes at him, "Don't you want to take a look at that Lin Rui?"
Yuan Chengkai shook his head slightly, "Qi Yan can live for at least an hour, and this new commander of the Assassination Bureau is bound to die. Not worth watching! What's more, the reason why I fell to this state today is that I was too eager and stood out too much, so that even the Emperor dared not come forward to protect me. Lin Rui is at most just a trigger, and not worth too much regard."
Before those ice needles melt, Qi Yan will definitely be able to kill Lin Rui.
So there was no need for him to stay here any longer; he should leave far behind to avoid getting involved in the mess.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Xue Lingxue, who had led the Imperial Flame War Dragon to Tianxiang River, also saw the two red lights swooping across the sky.
"What is that?"
Xue Lingxue, in order to ensure Lin Rui's safety, had researched all the information about this Defense Commandant, including his enemies!
Her pupils suddenly contracted slightly, "Is that the Sect Master of Burning Saber Sect, 'Xuanhuo Saber' Qi Yan?"
Xue Lingxue didn't hesitate to send a message to Lin Rui.
White Summer (Xue Lingxue): BOSS, Xuanhuo Saber Qi Yan is here, outside the city.
At the same time, she immediately covered herself with a nanomechanical armor and drew a war bow.
The power of the nanomechanical armor, compared to external exoskeleton armor, Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor, and Mecha, was not much different, but its price was several times higher.
However, this item was superior in being simple and lightweight, making it difficult for others to detect.
The war bow in her hand was even a 6S+ grade Magic Artifact, the 'Dragon Tongue Bow'!
Xue Lingxue, with the support of her father and two older brothers, was equipped with top-level gear.
She drew the bow with a speed barely visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, seven arrow shadows flew like shooting stars toward Qi Yan's direction.
When these seven arrows were shot out, Xue Lingxue also drained all her qi and blood.
Just as she had told Lin Rui, her strongest ability was actually archery! Close combat came second.
When Xue Lingxue was at the fourth realm of cultivation, she was the strongest sniper among all lieutenant colonels at the third base of the Federal Security Bureau, possessing incomparable explosive power. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Meanwhile, Lin Rui in Lanyue Building, after seeing the message from Xue Lingxue, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
The first thought that crossed his mind was why had Xuanhuo Saber Qi Yan come here? Why hadn't his senior sister given him an advance notice?
His second thought was that combat must not break out within the city; having taken so much money from his fellow townspeople, how could he in good conscience let them fall into a firestorm because of his own issues?
The third thought was that he must change to another battlefield more advantageous to him, as there were too many wooden buildings inside the city!
"Let's go!"
Without a second thought, Lin Rui, together with Blood Blade, abruptly smashed through the wooden wall behind them, and like a bolt of lightning, flew swiftly towards the distant Tianxiang River, leaving everyone at the banquet, who were drinking and talking, utterly dumbfounded.
