Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"Who are you?"

Lin Rui looked menacingly at the figure opposite him and asked in a muffled voice, "Why did you suddenly attack me just now? Attacking a federal citizen for no reason is a crime, you know that?"

He was not only cloaked tightly in his clothes but had also used the Great Grandmaster-level 'Muscle and Bone Refinement' to alter his skeletal appearance.

This skill was very useful; apart from deceiving the Heavenly Demon Test and Body Refinement, it had many other ingenious uses.

Lin Rui was curious, how did this woman find him?

"Stop pretending!" Xue Lingxue coldly snorted, holding a long saber and pointed it at Lin Rui, "I have your terminal chip location and have checked your chip's trajectory. You were just at the Night Wolf Bar, stayed for 12 minutes."

Xue Lingxue said this with a pain in her chest.

Previously at the Fabric Nightclub, Xue Lingxue had risked a lot using her authority to suppress the incident involving nearly a hundred casualties.

She thought Lin Rui would stay low-key after that, but today, this guy reappeared and killed more than 50 people at the Night Wolf Bar, creating a shocking, dreadful crime scene!

It was laughable; she had even warned him during the day to stay put, but not only did he not listen, he went and wiped out an entire division of the Blood Lizard Gang.

However, at the same time, a hint of confusion flashed deep within Xue Lingxue's eyes.

The person in front of her, hooded with stockings, dressed in black, did not really look like Lin Rui. He was taller and slimmer, and his arms, wielding the sword, were longer.

However, Xue Lingxue had pinpointed Lin Rui's terminal chip's location to be this very person through the security bureau's system!

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui was momentarily stunned.

He had suspected that Xue Lingxue might be, like his father, a member of the Federal Security Bureau.

But according to federal law, the Federal Security Bureau could only locate a federal citizen's chip for anti-terrorism purposes.

Lin Rui had many questions in his mind—why was No. 1 Battle Spirit Xue Bogao monitoring them? Was Xue Lingxue taking over her father's job?

Did this Xue sister really need to use anti-terrorism permissions for the two of them? Who allowed her to use this authority?

Yet, his face showed no sign of disturbance as he continued to feign ignorance, "I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't been to the Night Wolf Bar, and what does where I go have to do with you? Are you a cop? Tell me your badge number, I want to file a complaint!"

According to federal law, locating a terminal chip could not be used as evidence in court; as long as he was not captured by surveillance devices or seen by eyewitnesses, Xue Lingxue couldn't do anything to him.

Xue Lingxue was extremely frustrated; this guy had disguised himself like this, hooded with stockings, looking like a gangster, and he still had the gall to complain?

Xue Lingxue's gaze turned even more icy, "Still pretending? The method you used in this crime is exactly the same as the one you used at the Fabric Nightclub earlier. You've left behind too many traces. Do you really think Iron Fist King won't find out the truth, won't find you? Lin Rui, you're dancing on the edge of a knife, do you think you're not dying fast enough?"

Lin Rui thought, what difference does it make?

Iron Fist King would kill him if he found him, the murderer, and kill him if he didn't.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Lin Rui did not intend to entangle further with Xue Lingxue. His body lithe, he jumped off the rooftop, landing in a dark alley below, and walked forward composedly, "I warn you seriously, if you follow me, be careful, I'll call the police, and you'll be responsible for the consequences!"

Xue Lingxue sneered coldly as she sheathed the twin sabers across her chest, "Can't understand, is it? Let me make you understand! Those weapons on you, those flying needles, definitely match the wounds on the bodies at the Night Wolf Bar."
Experience tales with empire

Once she caught this guy, she'd see how tough he could talk!

Xue Lingxue was perplexed; Lin Rui was such a well-behaved child when he was younger; how had he grown so cunning and unscrupulous, and so—viciously obstinate!

Xue Lingxue's figure flashed like a specter in the night, creating a trail of afterimages, then suddenly appeared behind Lin Rui.

But just as Xue Lingxue's hand was about to grab Lin Rui's shoulder, his figure suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and vanished before her eyes.

"Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill? A dual cultivator of martial arts and spells!"

A look of surprise appeared in Xue Lingxue's eyes, reacting just as 'Wild Wolf' Nai Ke had before.

She had just noticed that dozens of flying needles had scattered from Lin Rui's sleeves, each one invariably marked with a 3D-printed talisman.

At first, Xue Lingxue did not understand Lin Rui's purpose, but now she knew that this guy had also cultivated in spells, embedding a set of spell kits inside his body.

Moreover, his Escape Skill was extremely superb, not only was the distance of his shift long, but the speed of his execution was also very fast.

Xue Lingxue let out a cold laugh, a competitive glint in her eyes.

She, Xue Lingxue, was an S+ rated colonel in bio-armor! The suit of armor she wore was powerful equipment available only to the Security Bureau.

Lin Rui's talent was formidable; he had mastered an intermediate Escape Skill to perfection at such a young age and seemed to have implanted two extremely powerful assistive bio-armors. But this guy dreaming about escaping from her was utterly ludicrous!

At that moment, her figure flashed through the night sky, chasing after Lin Rui like a cat hunting a mouse.

Xue Lingxue wasn't in a hurry to capture Lin Rui; she, like a seasoned and composed hunter, blocked all of Lin Rui's paths of escape, giving him no opportunity to take advantage.

What puzzled her was that Lin Rui didn't seem in a hurry to flee either. Relying on the perfected Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill and the talismans on his flying needles, he maneuvered around Xue Lingxue in the nearby alleys.

His movement and speed were far inferior to Xue Lingxue's, yet with the flying needles and the talismans he kept scattering, he always managed to evade Xue Lingxue's captures.

Though puzzled, Xue Lingxue remained utterly calm, not arrogant or impatient.

Lin Rui's bio-armor had just reached the meridian cycle and hadn't yet been implanted with synthetic blood serum. His True Yuan was extremely limited and couldn't sustain the consumption of the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill and the talismans.

Their chase couldn't last more than five more seconds!

However, in the next instant, Xue Lingxue's steps suddenly staggered, almost causing her to lose control of her body and tumble to the ground.

Her vision darkened, and she felt an immense sense of fatigue growing within her, starting to feel drowsy.

"What's happening?"

Xue Lingxue's thoughts were slightly disturbed as she realized her plight, "Is it poison? Did you poison me?"

She concentrated fiercely, unable to comprehend as she looked up at Lin Rui, "When?"

Her issue was that her exoskeletal armor had a poison defense function; its respiratory system could filter out 99% of all known toxins.

Xue Lingxue couldn't understand why she was poisoned or how.

At this moment, Lin Rui did not advance but retreated, maintaining a 30-meter distance, cautiously observing Xue Lingxue.

He was concerned that Xue Lingxue might have some tricks up her sleeve, a desperate last stand that could turn the tables on him at this stage would be too unfair.

But judging by how Sister Xue on the ground seemed unable to hold on much longer, it didn't look like she was pretending.

Lin Rui crossed his arms, smiling slightly, "It's the talismans. I developed this anesthetic myself. Your mask's respiratory system probably couldn't block it."

When those talismans exploded, the anesthetic was also released.

Others might think he was employing a technique, when in fact, he was using it as a chance to disperse poison.

This was a new tactic Lin Rui had come up with, and it seemed quite effective.

He felt that investing 2000 points of Soul Power into refining the 'poison composition' skill offered a far better cost-performance ratio than advancing his martial arts stances and techniques.

Xue Lingxue's eyes widened in realization.

So that's it; she had fallen into this guy's trap from the very start. That's why he specifically jumped down and fought her in the alley—because the air here was stagnant and it facilitated the dispersal of his anesthetic.

Seeing Lin Rui standing far away, not daring to come closer, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

This villain! Had she known earlier, she wouldn't have been merciful just now. She should have used her firearms to deal with this guy at maximum speed.

Xue Lingxue regretted deeply but was helpless.

She indeed had a last resort that could win in an instant, but Lin Rui never gave her a chance.

And after a brief moment, Xue Lingxue no longer even had the strength to clench her teeth; everything before her eyes turned completely black, and then she lost consciousness.

It wasn't until three seconds after Xue Lingxue had passed out that Lin Rui flashed next to her.

With a stab of his knife, he precisely opened the nuclear-powered backpack of her exoskeletal armor, rendering its automatic defense system useless.

At this moment, Lin Rui felt very pleased and unconsciously started singing a song, singing "I am an ugly duckling, yah yah yo yee—"
