“Grandmaster-level Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill?”
Zhu Tianmao furrowed his brows, his gaze serious, “Damn!”
He had discerned that Lin Rui’s Escape Skill had reached the pinnacle of mastery, transforming to a new level, no less than those higher-level Escape Skills. Combined with the power of ‘Guang Ming’s Blood,’ it had become even more diverse, possessing a hint of being as fast as light and electricity.
Zhu Tianmao even suspected that this fellow might have cultivated this skill to the Great Grandmaster level.
And it was not just the Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill; the Blade Technique used by Lin Rui was also refined to the utmost simplicity, divinely inspired, and wonderfully mysterious!
The problem was this guy was just over eighteen years old, and at 18 he had mastered two intermediate Cultivation Techniques to Grandmaster level?
...
Such talent was unprecedented to Zhu Tianmao.
Zhu Tianmao had originally thought that he could resolve Lin Rui within three to five strikes.
But now, after a full ten breaths, Zhu Tianmao still had not managed to seriously injure Lin Rui.
This made him feel that he had misjudged; had he known earlier, he would have simply waited for Lin Rui to approach him, and then he wouldn’t need to be in the current situation where the Array had been unattended for a full ten breaths, already falling into a state of disorder.
However, at that moment, Zhu Tianmao inexplicably felt a sense of crisis and wanted to kill Lin Rui as quickly as possible.
Now, the sense of crisis in Zhu Tianmao’s heart had not only not disappeared, but had become even stronger, pricking his heart like needles.
At that moment, Zhu Tianmao suddenly had an inspiration and looked toward Lin Rui’s left hand.

The fellow had been forming signs with one hand the entire time, using the hand signs of the Soul Summoning Technique, but Zhu Tianmao did not know what he intended to do.
And forming signs with one hand was something only possible when one had mastered the technique to the pinnacle.
Zhu Tianmao squinted his eyes, directly asking, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing?”
This time, Lin Rui did not sing; his eyes mocking as he said, “Your Demon Refining Array is clever, but sadly it lacks adaptability. I guess your Array was probably set up by some other expert on your behalf.”
Zhu Tianmao was slightly disturbed by these words.
The Array here was indeed not his handiwork.
Zhu Tianmao had only arrived in Wang City yesterday; how could he have had the time?
It was Blood Blade Miao Shi who had set up this Array, as he was currently at Firescar Mansion restraining the Capital Commandant’s seventh-rank Inspector, Zhuang Mingyue.
But what did that have to do with his level of proficiency in Arrays?
Zhu Tianmao seemed enlightened: “Are you the sorcerer from earlier?”
That is, the one who had destroyed the southeastern corner of this Demon Refining Array while simultaneously hunting down over a hundred demonic cultivators under his nephew’s command.
For a moment, Zhu Tianmao’s heart tightened, yet he quickly calmed down.
Such a method, Lin Rui definitely could not replicate it a second time; it required time.
“Of course, it was me. You think you’re the only one proficient in both martial and magical arts?” Lin Rui scoffed, “Weren’t you wondering what I was up to? Now, you can take a look behind you.”
Zhu Tianmao immediately turned around, then shockingly discovered that the 20-zhang tall Purple Brilliance Yuan Crystal behind him had suddenly developed dense cracks, and he could continuously hear a ‘crackling’ sound coming from within the crystal.
Zhu Tianmao suddenly thought of something, his complexion instantly drastically changing.
“When I was outside earlier, I thought, isn’t the Imperial Flame Battle Dragon still alive? It has always been here guarding its master.”
Zhang Tianchang’s punch had shattered nearly half of the entire array, and the other half, after a brief pause, was backlashed by the violent True Yuan, tearing all the runes and elemental stones to pieces!
“How dare you?”
Zhu Tianmao had long anticipated this scene, but still closed his eyes in pain, feeling a boundless fury growing inside him.
Then he saw an even more terrifying sight, Ji Xueying’s crystal coffin was cracking inch by inch.
Zhu Tianmao’s pupils dilated, thinking that this Fourth Realm Blood Blade Ji could actually break free by herself? Had she awakened some additional bloodline? Her strength was so formidable!
Not good!
Zhu Tianmao didn’t hesitate to flash away from his spot, escaping towards an exterior tunnel.
He had to leave this place as quickly as possible, or else the consequences were unimaginable.
But in that instant, Ji Xueying’s crystal coffin suddenly exploded open, a dazzling red shadow burst out and pursued at an unimaginable speed!
She actually got ahead of Zhu Tianmao, intercepting him right at the tunnel entrance, her hands and feet swinging the fine metal chains, furiously smashing them down at Zhu Tianmao.
At that moment, she needed no martial arts, merely using her instincts to fight, channeling her power through pure, extreme hatred and intent to kill. She wanted to slaughter the eunuch regardless of the cost—slaughter this beast!
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The dense shadows of the chains had hammered Zhu Tianmao into a retreating stagger, even causing blood to seep out from the grip of his sword.
As someone of a superior level, nearing the power of a King-level warrior, he had been hammered into disarray by a mere fourth-level fighter.
His strength and speed were all three parts inferior to this Blood Blade Ji!
The chains wielded by Ji Xueying moved like beams of light, startlingly fast, such that even someone as strong as Zhu Tianmao often couldn’t react in time.
Moreover, the violent thunder that accompanied the chains continuously shattered his Protective Gang Qi, occasionally paralyzing him and disrupting his movements, while endless flames scorched his body.
Zhu Tianmao couldn’t help but taste bitterness in his mouth.
This was the Imperial Flame Blood Blade Ji—no! It was a new variant, combining the powers of fire, thunder, and light!
This was an entirely new species, and undoubtedly, her bloodline level was now beyond imperial, and her spiritual power talent was terrifyingly high.
Damn it! All his efforts had unexpectedly turned into a wedding gown for Lin Rui, cultivating a beyond-imperial-level monster with his own hands!
He suddenly looked back, gazing coldly at Lin Rui: “Lin Rui, she’s your protective demon, isn’t she? Do you even know what you’re doing? I am the chief of the inner service in Prince Han’s residence, a sixth-rank eunuch. You dare to harbor a monster, attack court officials—are you seeking death?”
Lin Rui smirked with mockery in his eyes, turning back to look at Zhu Tianmao, “According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty’s founder, anyone who colludes with demons and drives them to create havoc shall be captured immediately, and whoever dares to resist shall be killed without mercy! So, are you going to surrender now, or continue to resist arrest?”
Without anyone noticing, he had also formed a single-handed seal, held in front of his chest, precisely the Soul Summoning Technique!
Zhang Tianchang also very much wanted to kill Zhu Tianmao; he didn’t care who this person was! He wasn’t concerned about any Prince Han either; he just wanted this prime culprit to pay the price.
But as he watched their two-person fight from a distance, he felt he couldn’t even get involved.
Zhang Tianchang simply walked over to Lin Rui, guarding him with his body, and while watching the battle, he commented with a sense of amazement, “Amazing, merely a mid-fourth level, not even using her favorite weapon, yet she’s suppressing a near King-level fifth boundary peak.”
This must be a beyond-imperial-level Blood Blade Ji!
Lin Rui had really hit the jackpot by subduing Ji Xueying!
After this turmoil is over, the bond between this man and demon will certainly reach its peak, and there will no longer be any risk of the demon turning on its master.
With this protective demon helping him, Lin Rui would even be a leading figure throughout Wang City County.
Lin Rui also felt he had made a huge gain, his face brimming with smiles.
Today he had staked 200 times, and then he won!
Just then, the twenty-zhang tall giant purple luminescent crystal emitted a crisp ‘crack’ sound, and the Imperial Flame Battle Dragon inside suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of sky-blue pupils.
