He initially felt an extreme terror, followed by a surge of intense rage and hatred.
“Roar!”
Wang Tiandong let out a roar like a wild beast, his eyes cracking open at the corners as he did so, causing trickles of fresh blood to spill down.
He knew that Hao Pingyi had taken the blows for him.
If Hao Pingyi hadn’t come just now, the one to be killed by Lin Twelve’s blade would have been him.
Wang Tiandong couldn’t understand what sword technique Lin Twelve used to kill Hao Pingyi in the instant the light shone.
How could such a terrifying secret blade exist in this world?@@@@
...
This kid wasn’t from any major clan, so where did he learn such a fearsome blade technique?
Wang Tiandong couldn’t be bothered to think any longer; like a frenzied beast, he swung his mace at Lin Twelve in sheer instinct.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!

All he wanted was to smash that beast to death with the heavy maces in his hands!
A frown creased Lin Rui’s brow ever so slightly.
At this moment, Wang Tiandong looked in his eyes like a wild boar, although injured and nearly drained of strength, still charging recklessly and dangerously.
Lin Rui tried to keep his distance and used his Escape Skill more cautiously, moving and dodging with even greater care, meanwhile commanding his ‘Little Guang Ming Holy Sword’ to fight a mobile battle against Wang Tiandong.
This flying sword only possessed Upper Fourth Realm power, which was somewhat lacking now, but it sufficed to harass and contain him.
Lin Rui was like a seasoned, cunning hunter, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
It was at this moment that Zhang Zhili rushed up from the lower levels of the prison with a large group of men.
He was stunned by the scene before him.
Especially the corpse of Hao Pingyi, which sent tremors through his mind and made his scalp tingle.
Even Xiao Hao had died under Lin Twelve’s blade?
This defense envoy of the Imperial City, merely at the Fourth Realm, possessed such terrifying combat prowess?
Zhang Zhili quickly composed himself, his face turning a purplish hue as he said, “Commander Jia Mu, the plan has failed!
When I entered the third layer, I only saw the corpse of Zhu Huaimeng.
She was stabbed to death by chaotic blades, but I am not sure if she truly died.
Moreover, on the third layer, there were two Imperial-rank Fourth Realm heavenly demons from beyond the domain; I am no match for them!”
As he spoke, he joined the battle against Lin Twelve along with two experts from the inspector’s office.
Zhang Zhili could tell Wang Tiandong was running out of strength and without external intervention, his colleague was close to death.
“Also!
Before Zhu Huaimeng died, she said that the inspector of Sha Province was conspiring with the governor.
She had important evidence, and we came here to kill her to silence her.”
Zhang Zhili never expected that the outside battle situation was so grim too, so he had to be as clear and concise as possible.
His eyes were murky with fury and hatred as he spoke.
Now that he thought about it, there were too many doubts in today’s prison break.
For instance, the issue with the transmission of sound.
The third layer of the prison clearly had such thick Absolute Yuan stone, yet when Zhu Huaimeng shouted loudly, her voice could clearly pass through to the second layer, audible to everyone.
Zhang Chen felt his scalp tingle as he processed this information, wondering if that was why the prisoners had fled for their lives earlier.
So this was undoubtedly a trap!
“Everyone, retreat, I’ll cover the rear!”
Retreating was now the only option, as the guards of the Internal Office were pressing in from all sides with various crossbows, suppressing them to the point of being unable to raise their heads.
The over fifty prison guards and royal guards inside the prison were counterattacking upwards, and an additional twenty or so royal guards that had been patrolling the streets were rushing back.
They had formed an encirclement around the outside of Wang City Government Office.
They greeted them with various secret weapons, posing a significant threat.
“Your subordinate obeys!” The scribe, Wen Tailai, accepted the command, but his face showed concern, “My lord, does this mean that the Supervising Censorate won’t let this incident go easily?”
Not just easily let it go?
Wen Tailai suspected that the Supervising Censor would want to devour Lin Rui alive!
Today, Lin Rui had killed so many from the Supervising Censorate that the situation had spiraled beyond control.
Wen Tailai pondered that if he were in the Supervising Censor’s shoes, he would have disregarded all rules of officialdom by now and directly sought to take Lin Rui’s life.
The Supervising Censor was a Martial Cultivator in the late stages of the Sixth Realm of Transforming Dragon and a high-ranking fourth-grade official affiliated with the Ministry of Punishment.
As long as he handled things cleanly, even if the Imperial City hall wanted to take him down, it would be rather troublesome.
Lin Rui let out a scoff upon hearing this, “It’s good that he can’t let it go, for I have no intention of letting him off either!
Write a few more banners for me.
They should say that the Imperial Inspector of Shazhou colluded with the Governor, plotting a rebellion and intending to kill a deity.
Hence, today they have stormed into Wang City with the aim of slaying key witnesses!”
“This man’s treacherous actions have been exposed.
In order to prevent the Imperial Inspector from silencing people by killing them, I shall use these banners to proclaim to the world!
If henceforth I die an unnatural death, or perish at the hands of a Heavenly Demon beyond the borders, it must be the doing of the Imperial Inspector and the Governor.
The larger these characters are written, the better.
Hang them at the city gates for all to see, and also—”
Lin Rui then pointed to Wang Tiandong lying on the ground, “Take this subordinate judicial official of the Imperial Inspector and hang his body, along with those of the other corpses left by the office of the Imperial Inspector and Judge, on the city walls as evidence.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Tailai’s scalp tingled.
His lord, the Defensive Officer, really wasn’t worried about creating a big scene.
After a moment of contemplation, Wen Tailai began to sympathize with the headache that the Imperial Inspector would soon face.
Once these banners were hung up, it wouldn’t just be the Imperial Inspector who would be furious; even the esteemed Governor of Shazhou would be so angry that he’d be blowing smoke from his seven orifices!
Consequently, both men would undoubtedly be caught in a quagmire of suspicion, creating a big trouble indeed!
Meanwhile, around 200 paces away from a wine shop’s eaves, the clerk from the Bureau of Militia, Lu Xinran, had already quietly returned to his teacher, Han Kedao, with Zhu Meng in tow.
“Professor!” Lu Xinran greeted Han with a smile and a cupped-hand salute, “We have successfully completed our mission without disgrace.
The plan by Brother Li has gone more smoothly than we anticipated.”
He was unaware of Lin Rui’s identity, assuming all the night’s events were orchestrated by Li Li.
Zhu Meng also spoke, her expression a mix of embarrassment and gratitude, “Thank you, teacher!
It was all due to my careless actions this time, truly causing everyone trouble.”
She was previously imprisoned and had thought her life was surely at an end.
Professor Han shook his head slightly, thinking that it was actually another person Zhu Meng should be thanking.
As a teacher, he hadn’t really contributed much.
Following Professor Han’s gaze, Lu Xinran raised his eyebrows, “Does Brother Li plan to continue following that Lin Twelve?
It’s indeed a good path to tread.
Lin Twelve is a natural talent with exceptional aptitude, accompanied by such a powerful Heavenly Demon guardian.
His prospects are boundless and certainly, he will become a prominent figure of the Tianji Star in the future!”
Shaking his head in admiration, Lu Xinran exclaimed, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone from the Tianji Star so formidable, capable of slaying a fifth-level with just fourth-level cultivation!
If Brother Li sticks with him, he is bound to encounter great opportunities.”
Professor Han could only laugh helplessly and nod, “Indeed, his future is boundless!”
At the same time, in a villa nestled within the mountains 50 miles away, Meng Weiyun smiled faintly, her demeanor relaxed as she walked back into the room.
Through the vision of her battle dragon, she had already observed the situation at the Wang City Government Office.
Meng Weiyun had initially thought if Lin Twelve were in a dire situation, she would need to step in to save his life, even at the cost of further depleting her own vital energy.
However, the young man proved to be much stronger than she had imagined.
Especially that Super Emperor Secret Blade, which was a sight to behold.
She had never come across such a secret blade technique before, nor had she ever read about it in any martial arts texts.
Based on her recent understanding of Lin Twelve, it was highly possible that he had created it himself.
Just like Lin Twelve’s ‘Ascending Sun Devastation Blade’, which was a fusion of several martial arts skills he had created.
If that was indeed the case, the boy’s martial arts talent was terrifyingly high—
