Chapter 80 Forming Connections
Bloody Blade Hime stared fixedly at Lin Rui, until two breaths had passed, her eyes still unable to believe.
This guy, he actually slew a fourth realm blackwater demon! He moved with a clean and decisive strike, swift as thunder!
It was only when Lin Rui and Wang Sen began to clean up the blackwater demon's corpse that Bloody Blade Hime came back to her senses.
In an instant, her figure turned into a flash of lightning, appearing behind the three third-order demonic cultivators. As Bloody Blade Hime pulled out a six-foot-long narrow battle saber from behind and chopped down, all three were cleaved into two by her single strike!
Bloody Blade Hime then looked towards a direction in the east. Her entire being turned into a red streak, dashing towards the direction she had been gazing at moments before.
Now, twenty zhang away on a three-story building, a man dressed in arrest officer's attire, with a nose sharp as an eagle's beak and a sinister and harsh face, was frantically running downstairs, his complexion pale.
That was precisely the arrest officer Li, his eyes filled with panic, horror, and disbelief!
That Lin Twelve, had actually killed the blackwater demon they had spent a significant amount of resources to cultivate!
But the problem was, it was too absurd, impossible! How could Lin Twelve possibly do that?
Arrest Officer Li couldn't believe that the arrangement he thought was foolproof had been so easily torn apart by Lin Twelve. The seemingly invincible fourth realm blackwater demon had also been cleanly killed by Lin Twelve.
It must be known that just a few days ago, this young man was only a second realm Martial Cultivator!
However, what panicked him into frantic escape now was none other than Bloody Blade Hime.
When he saw his three third realm demonic cultivator subordinates unexplainably split in half, he knew it was Bloody Blade Hime.
—It was that wretched woman's doing! She clearly had made up her mind to use Lin Twelve's power to resist the County Magistrate's authority!
Just as Arrest Officer Li was rushing down the stairs, a red figure appeared before him. She stood three zhang away, holding her saber slanted, blocking Arrest Officer Li's path.
"You dare strike at me?" Arrest Officer Li staggered back, his expression a mix of sarcasm and despair as he met the eyes of the red-dressed girl.
"Think it through, if I die, you'll also pay the price. Do you think that by associating with Lin Twelve, you can resist the County Magistrate? You're dreaming—"
The red-dressed girl didn't wait for him to finish. With a swing of her saber, she decapitated Arrest Officer Li.
She thought this Li surname really overestimated himself. Would the County Magistrate named Zhu care about wasting valuable chips over such a trivial underling?
By the time Bloody Blade Hime had taken care of all loose ends and returned to the fourth floor of Zuihua House, she found that Lin Twelve and Wang Twenty-seven had already brought back the corpse of the blackwater demon.
That chubby fellow named Wang Twenty-seven was busy hanging up the demon's severed legs and torso pieces, trying his best to squeeze out the fresh blood from these chunks into several pots and pans beneath.
Lin Twelve stood by, mixing medicine. Strangely enough, as he dripped a few drops of the liquid into the pots, the blood of the demonic beast showed no signs of coagulating.
Wang Sen was distressed, for Lin Rui had chopped the blackwater demon into pieces too finely, resulting in poor quality of the fourth realm demon blood, and only one portion could be collected.
The blood of this blackwater demon could have been sold for eight hundred thousand Federal dollars. Now, it would be quite good if they could get three hundred thousand.
Lin Rui's lips curved slightly at her words, amused that this woman was actually asking him to give up?
How could he possibly give up the chance to subdue a King rank or even higher than King rank demon?
Besides, could he survive by running away? Would the County Magistrate and the arrest officer let him go? What if the County Magistrate ordered Blood Blade Ji to hunt him down? Wouldn't he be dead anyway?
Lin Rui's heart began to thrill with excitement, his blood surged, and his heart pounded!
This venture was indeed fraught with great risk, but great risk also meant great rewards.
Lin Rui thought that his mentality had been a bit off lately, slightly crazed.
It's all Instructor Xue's fault. That number one battle spirit is crazy! Perhaps Xue Bogao was already suffering from armor syndrome before his death.
It seems he will have to kill more members of the Blood Lizard Gang in the future in order to resolve Instructor Xue's hostility and weaken his influence upon him.
Lin Rui did not respond, instead directly cutting his wrist with a blade.
When Blood Blade Ji saw the fresh red blood dripping from the wound and smelled the blood's scent, her blood-red pupils instantly constricted to pinpoints.
Her rationality rapidly faded, yet she still struggled to control her urges, her voice hoarse: "Where is the Ruyi Knot the County Magistrate gave you? Give me one!"
Lin Rui was startled by her words, wondering if the Ruyi Knot was meant to be used for the Blood Covenant?
That implied that the County Magistrate might have foreseen the events of today.
He was decisive, taking out two Ruyi Knots and tossing one to the red-clad girl.
The girl swallowed it right away and then looked steadily at Lin Rui, her gaze filled with anticipation. The thing was called the Ruyi Symbiotic Knot, which she had used with her previous master as well, but regrettably, Yuan Yi's divine consciousness was too weak, and his will, too frail, so the Ruyi Symbiotic Knot could not exert its expected effect.
Lin Rui immediately understood, thinking that this item was used in this manner? So he too placed a Ruyi Knot in his mouth and swallowed it.
In the next instant, the red-clad girl suddenly appeared in front of him.
She produced a bright red short blade from nowhere, stabbing it diagonally into Lin Rui's back, piercing both their bodies to connect the Ruyi Knots they had ingested.
However, Lin Rui was not injured; the bright red short blade seemed like an illusion, and he felt nothing as it entered his body.
This must be Blood Blade Ji's 'Covenant Blade,' the object used for forming the pact.
Meanwhile, Wang Sen, who was watching from the side, suddenly changed color and drew a sharp breath.
When he had heard Lin Rui speaking earlier, he had been quite curious: who was this fellow talking to? Could it possibly be that fourth realm demon who was to form a Blood Covenant with him?
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Sen finally saw the silhouette of this demon.
— It was Blood Blade Ji! The very one with a bounty of 2000 magic silver coins issued by the officials!
