Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

As the dazzling purple light unfolded and enveloped the tunnel they were in, the few hiding behind Zhang Tianchang, including Cao Jun, also let out agonizing groans.

The temperature inside the tunnel rose rapidly, with violent and chaotic purple solar essence rampaging throughout, even melting some of the tunnel walls' surfaces.

The spot they were in was, under Lin Rui's manipulative guidance, where the purple solar essence was least concentrated—its temperature much lower than elsewhere, only about twenty to thirty percent of it. Although they were shielded by Zhang Tianchang's body, everyone's body temperature was still rising swiftly, nearing spontaneous combustion.

Consciousness began to blur in their minds due to the heat, and breathing became difficult, almost to the point of suffocation, yet they all fiercely clenched their teeth and used their bodies to cover the innermost Lin Rui, keeping him away from the purple light.

They all knew that whether the people of Silver Moon County could survive now depended on Lin Twelve!

Zhang Tianchang let out an animalistic growl, his body continued to expand, the metallic color on his skin darkened further, and even short, sharp bone spurs grew out of his finger joints, as if he were wearing a set of knuckledusters.

His eyes were filled with hopeful luster.

That guy Lin Twelve, he hadn't lied! He was about to incinerate all the demons underground!

So he must hold on! He must protect Lin Twelve at all costs!

It didn't matter if they died today; Lin Twelve must not be harmed!

Lin Rui silently watched the few before him.

He didn't need protection; his body had been refined not long ago and lacked much of the purple solar dust within.

The radiation and high temperature from outside were entirely bearable for him.

Lin Rui looked at their faces, twisted in agony yet unwavering, his gaze becoming tender and complex.

He began to sing again, singing "Your smile is so beautiful."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But Lin Rui had barely sung a few words when he was interrupted. From afar came the furious cursing of the County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi, "Lin Twelve, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations! Singing? Sing to your grandmother, to your ancestors, you bastard, you lunatic!"

The surge of purple light came quickly and receded just as fast, fading after barely twenty breaths.

All the Third Realm demons in the tunnel had turned into fireballs, lying motionless on the ground, presumably dead, yet their bodies were still ablaze.

Only a few Third Realm demon cultivators were struggling, howling like ghosts and wolves, rolling on the ground in agony. However, judging by their state, they weren't far from death either.

This could be confirmed by the continuous stream of notifications in his mind.

Notification: Slay a Third Realm demon cultivator, obtain 434 points of Soul Power.

Notification: Slay a Third Realm demon cultivator, obtain 394 points of Soul Power.

Notification: Slay a Third Realm demon cultivator, obtain 394 points of Soul Power.

Lin Rui received over sixty such notifications in his mind, and he couldn't help but be astonished, thinking to himself that this was indeed a windfall.

He calculated his total Soul Power points; previously, he had 5479 points of Soul Power, and after coming down here, he had reaped several demons, with his current Soul Power points surprisingly reaching 26432.

However, the five Fourth Realm demons in the cave, though they were also rolled around burnt, bubbles blistering and flesh rotting on their bodies, managed to endure it all. As the purple light faded, they gradually extinguished the flames engulfing them.

Zhang Tianchang also felt the burning heat on his skin subside, and with Wang Sen's help, the temperature of his internal organs quickly cooled down, no longer necessitating worry about his body spontaneously combusting.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Tianchang saw a burly figure charging towards them—it was the nine-feet-tall Bone Armor Dragon that accompanied Zhu Lingshi!

Zhang Tianchang's eyes widened, and like a furious dinosaur, he pounced out without even attempting to dodge but swung his fists mightily, hammering against the Bone Armor Dragon.

"Kill!"

Zhang Tianchang's eyes glowed blood-red, his mind as firm as steel.

He had but one thought right now, to hammer the adversary to death in the shortest time possible! Nothing could hinder Lin Twelve's progress!

The two of them were like a pair of iron men impervious to pain, neither defending as they hammered at each other, producing a 'dong dong dong' sound of metallic booming.

The Bone Armor Dragon had greater strength, and its spiked mace gouged out several bloody holes on Zhang Tianchang's body.

But it only had one hand left, and after exchanging blows for a few rounds, it started losing ground, its arm made of condensed tree material violently torn off by Zhang Tianchang.

Although this adversary's cultivation was only at the early Fourth Realm, it had awakened an extremely powerful bloodline force, with a body as solid as if cast from steel and a strength nearly rivaling that of the Bone Armor Dragon.

Zhang Tianchang forcefully pulled on one of the Bone Armor Dragon's arms while relentlessly bombarding its chest and abdomen with his other fist.

Its chest bone armor had already been forcibly shattered by Zhang Tianchang, revealing the steel armor underneath, which was then also pounded by Zhang Tianchang into numerous deep pits.

Cao Jun and the others also burst out from the pits, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with those several Fourth Realm demons, each acting like enraged tigers, desperately restraining the demons.

Wang Sen was initially a bit worried; these arrest officers had just been subjected to high temperatures and violet light radiation, their bodies on the verge of spontaneous combustion, with their Qi heavily damaged.

Logically speaking, their bodies should be very weak, resulting in a significant drop in combat strength.

However, when the fight started, Wang Sen found that these Third Realm arrest officers managed to turn the tables and suppress their opponents, beating them into a sorry state, except for Ximen Shou, whose situation was more perilous.

Wang Sen's complexion changed slightly.

"What's this?"

He saw Cao Jun's right hand, the right arm of Arrest Officer Cao covered with a layer of black-and-red bone armor, and one of his eyes had also undergone a mutation, bulging out as countless blood threads spread out around it.

Wang Sen's heart tightened, and he turned to look at another arrest officer named Zhu Fang.

The lower half of this person's trousers had been ripped open, revealing hooves like those of an ox and the exceedingly strong muscles of the legs, which gave Zhu Fang an unusually swift pace and greatly enhanced leg strength.

Lin Rui seemed completely unaware of the mutations in these arrest officers, as he alone was holding off three Fourth Realm demons, fighting in the most efficient manner.

Lin Rui had been accumulating strength for a long time, and as these Fourth Realm demons were severely injured, his first strike was the 'Red Thunder 21 Consecutive Slashes' that combined strength into one, killing one of the Fourth Realm demons with a single slash.

Afterward, Lin Rui's sword moves were incredibly straightforward and fast, working in conjunction with the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill, his figure flickering like a phantom among the several demons, while the Mini Guang Ming Holy Sword harassed and restrained them with its quick thrusts.

In just a few changes of movement, Lin Rui had left two of the Fourth Realm demons at a loss, no longer capable of capturing Lin Rui's figure and sword light.

They became aware of the danger, emitting angry and fearful roars, their bodies swelling continuously under the stress of the crisis,

"Kill! Kill! Roar!"

Yet Lin Rui's figure unbelievably appeared behind one of the Fourth Realm tiger-shaped demons, the 'Thunder God' sword wrapped in lightning and fire serpents, chopping down fiercely.

Boom!

The ferocious sword light instantly blasted the Fourth Realm tiger-shaped demon, splitting its body open and turning its flesh into mush.

At the same time, another Fourth Realm demon nearby was also pierced through the brow by his Mini Guang Ming Holy Sword.

This fire scythe demon had an extremely strong vitality and it wasn't dead even after its brain was pierced, but Lin Rui's hand was already reaching out and he actually grabbed the fire scythe demon's spine, forcibly pulling out the seven-foot-long vertebral column from the demon's body and then crushing it with one hand!

"Holy shit!" Wang Sen, who was behind assisting Cao Jun and others with cooling down, saw this scene, and his eyes almost popped out.

Lin Rui's move was simply brutally extreme!

Wang Sen knew Lin Rui's combat strength was very high, and the battle at the county hall had been an eye-opener for him.

However, the fights he'd seen before were nowhere near as shocking as what he had witnessed today.

While Wang Sen was still surprised, Lin Rui looked up and glanced at both sides of the cave.

The County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi had been cursing fiercely before, but once the violet light in the vicinity had completely retreated, this person had already fled without a trace.

And that archivist Jiang Hanzhang had also disappeared, although two of his arrest officers had been burned to death alive.

County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi must have had some method that allowed Jiang Hanzhang and others to avoid self-combustion under the illumination of the violet sun crystals.

However, these two arrest officers still couldn't withstand the continuous high temperatures and intense radiation inside this tunnel for 20 seconds, peaking at at least 1,800 degrees Celsius.

Lin Rui's figure then exploded forward like thunder once again, driving his sword into the neck of a Fourth Realm Thousand Threads demon, not only decapitating it but also using violent thunder and fierce fire to completely eradicate its brain.

Lin Rui held nothing back, pushing his combat strength to its limit, determined to end the fight in the shortest time possible!

In just a few breaths, Lin Rui had slain the last demon, and on Tian Chang's side, the steel armor at the chest of the bone armored dragon had also been forcefully blasted apart, tearing out a red crystal embedded inside, causing currents to stream chaotically throughout the body of the bone armored dragon, rendering it immobile afterwards.

After the battle ended, Lin Rui showed no sign of joy.

He held the 'Thunder God' sword in one hand, gazing at the mutated parts of Cao Jun and the others, his expression solemn and silent.
