Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 136 You're Actually Colluding with the Heavenly Demon (Seeking Subscriptions)

When Lin Rui stepped onto the steps in front of the main hall of the outer government office, the remaining three clerks of Wang City Government Office and twenty Dragon Guards all gathered around.

They had different expressions on their faces, some were flushed with admiration, some were gritting their teeth due to their injuries, and some were pallid with guilt and fear.

The constables from the Imperial Judicial Commissioner's office also stood at a distance, their expressions obscure. Among them, the Judicial Commissioner Dou Ming had a look of regret that flickered uncertainly.

He hadn't expected people from the Iron Killing Hall to deploy such a grand force, using dozens of men and even a Fifth Realm expert, yet they still couldn't deal with Lin the Twelfth.

Weren't the assassins of the Iron Killing Hall known for only acting after careful planning, guaranteeing success once they moved? This time they had all been defeated inside the Wang City Government Office.

Dou Ming had just seen Lin the Twelfth unsheathe his blade.

The strike of the Super King Secret Blade was truly sharp; Dou Ming felt that he might not be able to withstand it himself.@@@@

Being undefeatable was one thing, but the key was its relentless continuity.

No wonder dozens of assassins couldn't get close to him.

Now he was feeling a headache; his subordinates had all hidden in the jail cells on his orders, passively observing the battle outside.

This was undoubtedly very unseemly, and he wondered how this Defense Envoy Lin would react?

Lin Rui stood on the steps, smiling as he looked over the assembly of Dragon Guards.

"Great merits for the two Prison Chiefs! Jiang Li and Wei Xiu are promoted to Platoon Leaders effective immediately, all those who participated in the battle are noted for their contributions, and every participant in the battle is rewarded with twenty Silver Coins, and three soulstones!

And for the two who died in battle, according to the triple compensation standard of our Imperial City Division, ample pensions will be provided!"

The four whom he had generously rewarded had all exerted themselves to the death tonight. Not only did they loudly alert their fellow officers in the outer government office, but they also fiercely engaged with those dressed in black, getting injured in the process, with one of them almost facing a dire situation.

It was a pity that the cultivation of these two valiant Dragon Guards was a little weak, only at the mid-level of the Third Realm; otherwise, he would have been too lazy to recruit from the outside and would have directly promoted these two to Team Heads.

It was even more regrettable for the two who had died in battle, as they were also brave and loyal men.

Besides these few, the others had also participated in the battle.

However, their methods of fighting were smarter, mostly hiding in concealed corners, greeting with all sorts of hidden weapons, doing everything possible to help him contain the numerous assassins in the inner government office, greatly reducing Lin Rui's pressure.

At least, these men had helped Lin Rui to contain 20 black-clothed assassins.

"And the three who just hid inside and did not come out."

Lin Rui's gaze became cold, "According to the rules of the Dragon Guards, those who fear the enemy and show cowardice shall be beheaded on the spot, or given thirty severe lashings, followed by dismissal! However, since this official has just taken office today, I will make an exception.

You three can go to the Clerk later to hand in your badges and receive ten Silver Coins of severance pay; from now on, you don't need to come to the government office again."

If these three were merely cowards, that would be one thing, but they were also foolish!

Though a civil official, this person possessed the cultivation of the early Four Realms.

Yet, at the moment of crisis, this person did not make a sound and hid with a group from the criminal investigation division in the prisons.

This was also behaving cowardly in the face of the enemy!

In the great Song dynasty where martial spirit was thriving, weren't the Prefectural Governor and his deputies expected to personally deal with demons and evil spirits?

It's just that this person, as the head scribe of the government office, held an official rank of positive seventh grade, the same as Lin Rui's, and it was improper for him, a mere acting defense envoy, to deal with the situation on the spot.

Lin Rui was already prepared to report the details to the commander of the garrison post in Sha State after the fact, and let the commander deal with this person.

It was only after hearing what Wen Tailai said that he realized the situation was not as he had imagined.

Lin Rui's eyes, sharp as blades and spears, coldly stared at Dou Ming, "Judicial Dou! At the moment of battle, why did you stop our Wang City head scribe and why did you knock him unconscious?"

"Your Excellency, please allow me to explain!" Dou Ming, with clasped hands, had a pale face covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

He never expected his old friend Wen Tailai to pull such a move at this time, putting him in an extremely awkward and dangerous position.

Dou Ming's mind raced, searching for words to defend himself, but after several breaths, he couldn't come up with an excuse to absolve himself.

"Can't come up with an answer, can you?" Lin Rui laughed coldly, "To me, there's only one reason: you're in cahoots with these Heavenly Demons from outside our domain, coordinating from inside and out, wanting to recreate the bloodbath that occurred in our Wang City a month ago!"

Dou Ming realized something was wrong halfway through Lin Rui's statement.

As an experienced head constable in the government office, he had already faintly anticipated this terrifying outcome.

But he truly hadn't expected Lin Twelve to be so ruthless and bold, actually planning to lump him together with these assassins from the Iron Kill Hall!

Today, they were merely onlookers from the sidelines. Was there a need to be so vicious towards a colleague?

The moment Dou Ming became alert, he saw a vast expanse of purple thunder roaring and flashing ahead of him.

Dou Ming's pupils slightly contracted.

This was the precursor to Lin Twelve's just-performed 'Super King Secret Blade.' This young man had been ready to strike all along, had begun to accumulate power ahead of time, scattering talismans.

He had no time to defend himself before Lin Rui kicked him across a 20-meter distance, his chest caving in with a 'crack,' and his entire body flew out like a cannonball, crashing into the ground ten meters away.

Lin Rui had perfected 'Thunderclap Absolute Slash' to the Great Grandmaster level, reaching pinnacle mastery. He was no longer restricted to using weapons; his feet worked just as well.

Right as Lin Rui kicked Dou Ming away, a cry of alarm came from outside the government office, "Stop, be merciful, Grandmaster Lin!"

Blood Blade Ji, standing behind Lin Rui, had her eyes flash fiercely as she suddenly turned into a swift red shadow, dashing into the air.

With her blade slashing, the air rang out with a 'clang' of metal thundering, sparks flying, and thunder exploding.
