Chapter 271: Chapter 256 Collision (Please Subscribe) Chapter 271: Chapter 256 Collision (Please Subscribe) Although Lin Rui was reluctant to let his ace enforcer, Fei Yunlai, leave, he personally escorted him to the exit of the underground base when Fei bid his farewell.
He looked at Fei Yunlai’s face with some concern and then at the ‘Tengu Demon’ by his side, “Old Fei, won’t you stay a bit longer?
I see your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, only about sixty to seventy percent recovered.”
The protective demon and battle dragons under this guy did seem to recover quite well.
The regenerative ability of demons is naturally strong, and it is now about seventy to eighty percent restored, but their vital energy is still significantly depleted.
“Sixty to seventy percent is already quite good.”
Fei Yunlai chuckled bitterly, his expression hearty, “These are internal injuries.
As the saying goes, illnesses leave as slowly as silk is drawn out.
Who knows how long it will truly take to fully recuperate?
...
Being at this level now is already decent, and it doesn’t affect my fighting ability.”
He thought to himself, how else would I support my large and small family if I don’t leave now?
With loans amounting to 120 million a month, including principal and interest, and the cost of maintaining a protective demon and two combat dragons at over 80 million, he needs to make at least 200,000 taels of demon silver each month just to cover these expenses.
Following Lin Rui, he could indeed make some money, but constantly following him in committing arson and murder was not a long-term solution.
In just over ten days, he had already accompanied Lin Rui in offending all the big and small gangs within the base, exposing his identity could be disastrous.

These grudges were the kind where they wouldn’t rest until one party was dead.
Fei Yunlai patted Lin Rui on the shoulder, “I truly owe you a lot this time, Classmate Lin!
Otherwise, I would have been dead for sure.
As I’ve said before, if you ever need anything, just call on me.
I’ll be there whenever you need.”
This time he wouldn’t take any money, considering it a repayment for the life-saving grace from before.
Debts of gratitude were best repaid sooner rather than later.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui felt slightly unhappy as he pursed his lips, feeling that Old Fei was being very practical.
Lately, Fei Yunlai had been calling him BOSS, and now that he no longer cared about his money, he reverted to calling him Classmate Lin.
Despite this, Lin Rui still nonchalantly passed him a government-issued bulletin.
The bulletin, also known as a court manuscript, was a type of document used by the court specifically for publishing divine decrees and the emperor’s edicts, orders from the cabinet, councilor deliberations, state affairs, and disaster reports from various provinces.
“A bulletin?
Why show me this?”
Fei Yunlai’s pupils contracted upon seeing a corner of the bulletin circled in vermilion ink by Lin Rui.
It was news regarding the Burning Saber Sect.
Roughly twenty days ago, Heavenly Official Meng Weiyun mobilized eight thousand imperial naval forces to surround Mount Daba, annihilating over two thousand members of the Burning Saber Sect!
The only survivor from the entire sect was the Sect Master, who escaped with severe injuries and was pursued by Meng Weiyun.
Fei Yunlai’s eyelids twitched, wondering how this woman had recovered so quickly?
From the text of the bulletin, it seemed that Meng Weiyun had not called upon other imperial experts to join the battle.
—Those were streaks of Sword Qi, virtually invisible to the naked eye, almost shredding the very void behind Fei Yunlai into pieces.
Just as Fei Yunlai was about to be caught by the Sword Qi, a series of booming sounds exploded behind him.
It was from another of Fei Yunlai’s battle dragons, clashing with a white battle dragon that had lunged from the front.
The impact from their sword and saber collision spread out, shattering all vegetation within a mile radius and causing all living creatures within ten miles to flee in panic.
At the same time, Fei Yunlai’s Heavenly Demon had locked onto the master of that Sword Qi, breaking its stealth and unleashing a storm of blades.
“Clang!
Clang!
Clang!”
Fei Yunlai still took two hits, the pain forcing him to grit his teeth and wince.
What was more troublesome was that with the two strikes of Sword Qi, Fei Yunlai’s body was engulfed in holy white flames from the inside out, the scorching flames burning his organs.
“Bright Holy Church?”
Fei Yunlai looked behind with an extremely ugly expression, facing the white figure who was dealing with the slashes of the Heavenly Demon’s sword light, “Are you the High Priest of the Bright Holy Church?
Why?”
“Why?” The man in white was around sixty years old; he looked at Fei Yunlai with eyes filled with pain and coldness: “You killed the fifth Saint Heir of our church, and you have the nerve to ask me why?”
He had discovered the scene where the fifth Saint Heir, Xu Zhe, died.
By using the top-level Time Secret Technique, he retraced the three streaks of Sword Intent that killed Xu Zhe.
One of them originated from the guy before his eyes.
Fei Yunlai was taken aback upon hearing this, then cursed under his breath, “Damn it.”
He suddenly realized that this area seemed to be near Qin Yan’s dwelling place.
Previously, his guardian demon had helped Lin Rui kill a member of the Bright Holy Church in this vicinity.
Fei Yunlai knew he was in a dire situation.
It seemed that this High Priest of the seventh realm from the Bright Holy Church wanted to settle matters of life and death with him?
Fei Yunlai tried hard to suppress the Saint Flame within him, taking a deep breath, “I think you’re courting death!”
He was a man who honored righteousness; although he had taken the blow for Lin Rui, he had also accepted Lin Rui’s money.
At the same time, Fei Yunlai felt extreme indignation towards this person!
He had barely managed to heal his injuries, ready to earn money to support himself, but then this fellow ambushed him, landing two strikes that wounded his lungs.
Fei Yunlai couldn’t understand, when would his streak of bad luck ever end?
The infinite rage in his heart, combined with his Sword Intent, burst forth, colliding with the formidable Sword Intent of the High Priest from the opposite side.
In an instant, an invisible shockwave spread in all directions from the center.
“Courting death, huh?”
The pain in the eyes of the man in white deepened.
The deceased fifth Saint Heir, Xu Zhe, was his biological nephew and the hope of their family, yet he died at the hands of this scoundrel.
His figure then turned into a flash of light that was hard to catch with the naked eye, darting towards Fei Yunlai once more.
Their saber energy and Sword Qi clashed violently in the mountains and fields.@@@@
