When Zhang Tianchang saw Ji Xueying turn around, his heartbeat almost stopped.
However, in the next moment, he saw Ji Xueying glance at Lin Rui before turning back with a blank expression.
Her face was still filled with pain, yet she stood still, knife in hand, without moving an inch!
Zhu Lingshi also felt slightly surprised upon seeing this, puzzled and frowning deeply.
He subconsciously thought that the blood he had splashed on the golden seal was not enough, and he poured all the remaining blood in the bottle onto it.
Behind Ji Xueying, Lin Rui and Wang Sen both had slight smiles on their lips, each revealing a hint of amusement.
Wang Sen, holding his sword and shield at Lin Rui's side, thought to himself that although the County Magistrate was cunning and sly, how could he match Brother Rui's brilliant and martial prowess?
Why didn't the Blood Blade Ji turn on her master? Simply because the current Lin Rui was not only the master of Blood Blade Ji but also the sword nurtured by her!
How could Blood Blade Ji possibly harm the sword she nurtured? This was the meaning of her being called Blood Blade Ji, and it was fundamental.
So, his Brother Rui was indeed very clever and had also paid a significant price. In recent days, Lin Rui had to take three cold baths every day, and Wang Sen even suspected that Rui had used his golden left hand, although there was no evidence.
Three breaths later, County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi saw that Ji Xueying still did not make a move, his face slightly changed.
Why didn't Blood Blade Ji swing her knife at Lin Rui?
"Why aren't you taking action?"
County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi suddenly stood up from his seat, holding the golden seal and coldly looking down at Ji Xueying, "I command you to kill him now!"
Ji Xueying still did not respond; she not only did not swing her knife but also gradually regained focus in her pupils, slowly recovering some consciousness.
She was originally extremely scared, worried that after regaining consciousness, she would see her blood-stained knife and Lin Rui's corpse.
However, in the next instant, she sensed Lin Rui's presence through the "Mutual Heart Knot."
Although their Blood Covenant was interrupted, the Mutual Heart Knot still worked between them.

Ji Xueying's eyes suddenly widened, filled with joy and disbelief.
Her master was still alive? He hadn't died by her knife!
What was going on?
She had clearly lost control, so why didn't she follow County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi's order to turn on her master?
This question, County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi also couldn't understand. He involuntarily stepped back, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Lin Rui.
—What on earth had Lin Rui done to Ji Xueying?
Fortunately, the only thing he could be thankful for was that, though the seal in his hand couldn't control Ji Xueying or force her to turn on her master, it was still able to suppress her, temporarily preventing her from acting.
"County Magistrate, you might as well save your effort." Lin Rui shook his head lightly, extending his hand toward Ji Xueying, "Xue Ying, hand me your Blood Blade 'Thunder God'."
Ji Xueying, without any hesitation, marshaled all her strength. Briefly breaking free from the internal prohibition, she violently flung her sleeves, and the six-foot-long Blood Blade 'Thunder God' came flying out of its sheath, spinning towards Lin Rui.
As the Blood Blade was unsheathed, a trace of confusion appeared in Ji Xueying's eyes; she felt as if the blood connection she once had with this blade had disappeared.
Although he could not control Blood Blade Ji, those large wooden boxes contained no less than six four-realm demons and ten three-realm demons, along with twenty-four three-realm demon cultivators nurtured for Prince Han.
Their collective power was enough to completely annihilate Lin Rui and all the constables in the hall within 100 breaths!
Today, no one in this hall would survive!
But in the next moment, he saw a flash of purple thunder fire before his eyes.
The purple light suddenly burst forth, almost filling Zhu Lingshi's entire field of vision.
Zhu Lingshi only felt a hint of heat in front of him, and then his robust arm was suddenly severed from the shoulder, with copious amounts of blood spurting from the wound.
He was initially stunned, then let out a heart-wrenching roar.
This was both due to the pain from the thunder fire dragons entwined around the wound, gnawing at his flesh, and due to fear.
Zhu Lingshi's eyes held disbelief. How did Lin Rui make that slash, and how had he managed to sever his arm?
What was even more terrifying was that with the loss of his left arm, the golden seal also slipped beyond his control.
This meant that Blood Blade Ji—the super king-tier four-realm artificial demon—would also regain her ability to move freely!
Beside him, Ying Yuan looked bewildered. How had the County Magistrate's hand been severed?
He hadn't seen clearly what had happened, only witnessing the purple thunder fire flash and explode, and Lin Rui severing the County Magistrate's arm.
The question lingered, what sword technique had Lin Rui used? It was so fast that he couldn't even discern the trajectory of Lin Rui's blade.
In the hall, Zhang Tianchang also promptly launched an attack.
While using his fists to remotely strike at the back of Government Official Jiang Hanzhang, he was mindful of his surroundings, watching over the numerous constables behind him.
Although Cao Jun and the dozen deputy arrest officers were also highly capable, they were only at the three-realm level, which was significantly inferior to those four-realm demons. The only one who could truly stand their ground in this entire hall was he, Zhang Tianchang.
What worried Zhang Tianchang even more were Lin Rui and Wang Sen.
Wang Sen, this kid, actually charged at Jiang Hanzhang with a shield while Lin Rui was even more reckless, rushing forward to the desk to slash at Zhu Lingshi.
Bumping against Ying Yuan and Zhu Lingshi, both four-realm figures, with his current three-realm cultivation was practically synonymous with suicide.
But just as a purple light dazzled near the desk, Zhang Tianchang was similarly stunned, utterly astonished.
What had just happened?
What martial arts had Lin Rui used to sever County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi's arm?
It must have been some kind of secret sword technique, that slash was incredibly fast! So fast that it eluded his vision!
While Zhu Lingshi roared, his other hand desperately reached for the golden seal!
He needed to regain control of that seal as quickly as possible.
But just as his fingers were about to touch the seal, he saw a white, slender hand, smooth as if carved from cream, snatch the golden seal just before him.
County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi jerked his head up to see Blood Blade Ji standing just a yard in front of him, her crimson eyes like blood jade, staring intently at him.
The bone-chilling murderous intent and the extreme fury made Zhu Lingshi tremble, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps.
