LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 40 Restraint
Lin Rui decapitated the long-haired demon cultivator, causing another one to lose his color in shock. He didn't hesitate to jump back, trying to escape from Wang Sen and withdraw from the battle.
Lin Rui immediately roared, "Wang Twenty-Seven!"
"Understood!"
Wang Sen took advantage of the demon cultivator being confined by the terrain, preparing to jump over the garden wall, and charged out enveloped in a fierce wind.
—This was the secret technique "Ice Follows the Wind" from the "Ice Wind Sword"!
Originally fast, being a nimble little chubby fellow, now amplified by the Speed Blood Vein, Wang Sen's presence became even more domineering like a cannonball ferociously striking the demon cultivator who was trying to flee.
His sword, although it did not injure the demon cultivator, broke the opponent's leaping momentum and cornered him against the wall.
Just a moment later, in a flash of thunder and lightning, Lin Rui rushed over.
This time he gathered his strength and used the Red Thunder Snake Hand!
In this Red Thunder Snake Hand, Lin Rui had added a full thirty points of Soul Power!
"Boom!"
The man was unable to block Lin Rui's palm and could only rely on the second-tier armor on his chest and the bone armor spreading quickly from his shoulder to bear the brunt.
This tyrannical and ferocious force of the palm hammered him so hard that blood spilled from his mouth and nose, and he smashed through the wall, rolling over backwards several times.
As he struggled to stabilize his tumbling vital energy and stand up, Lin Rui had already charged in front of him once again.
This time, Lin Rui switched to the "Nine Cuts of Red Thunder".
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang—"
Their weapons clashed like forging iron, continuously without end.
The demon cultivator struggled to hold on, and just as he managed to withstand until the seventh strike, he noticed Wang Sen was also on the pursuit.
The chubby fellow didn't join in but instead took out three throwing knives from a distance of three meters, aiming in his direction and poised to throw.
As the demon cultivator was fully on guard, Lin Rui's body lit up with thunder and fire snakes once again, his blade speed suddenly increased, forcibly breaking through the demon cultivator's defense and striking his forehead.
The ferocious blade force nearly split his head in two.
Tip: By killing the third-stage demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you've obtained 388 points of Soul Power.
Tip: By killing the third-stage demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you've obtained 438 points of Soul Power.
Tip: By killing the third-stage demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you've obtained 463 points of Soul Power.
Lin Rui didn't have time to pay attention to the notifications in his mind, he was taking deep breaths, easing the surging vital energy within his body, quickly restoring his True Qi.
Lin Rui thought to himself that indeed these demon-transformed Martial Cultivators were much tougher than the two he had encountered in the basement of Xue's School, very difficult to kill.
However, the Soul Power was unexpectedly minimal, none comparing to the 'Thousand Thread Demon' he faced in the morning.
Although the fighting ability of the Thousand Thread Demon was lower than these three demon-transformed Martial Cultivators, it offered as much as 532 points of Soul Power.
That butler, not even breaking the 400 barrier this time, was truly a disgrace among demon cultivators.
Wang Sen was also rapidly gasping for breath, his lungs puffing up like a broken bellows.
Finally catching his breath, he looked up to see the incredibly bloody scene around him.
His face turned deathly pale, his cheeks puffed out, and he ran to a nearby bush to vomit.
While vomiting, Wang Sen managed to give Lin Rui a thumbs-up.
This brother was truly awesome!
Wang Sen felt like he was dreaming.
In such a perilous situation, they had actually managed to win, to survive.
Once Lin Rui had calmed his breathing, he inquired in his mind through telekinesis to the Battle Spirit Ring.
"Spirit of the Ring, how much integrity can my current Soul Power points restore to the Battle Spirit Ring?"
Lin Rui didn't know how to address this entity that could directly send messages into his mind.
Since it originated from the Battle Spirit Ring on his hand, he might as well call it the "Spirit of the Ring."
Tip: You currently possess 2432 Soul Power points, which at the current stage, can restore 14.58% of the Battle Spirit Ring's integrity.
Lin Rui's brow furrowed deeply.
A thousand points of Soul Power only restore 1% of integrity? It seems he still had a long way to go.
"Spirit of the Ring, use 2000 Soul Power points to restore the Battle Spirit Ring."
Keeping the remaining 432 points, Lin Rui found them useful.
At that moment, Lin Rui's thoughts stirred, and he looked toward a lush Peach Wood Forest nearby.
"Who is it?"
Inside, not only was it pitch-dark, but a vague black fog also obscured the view, and even with electromagnetic enhancement, Lin Rui couldn't see clearly.
However, he sensed a very fierce aura inside, filled with a murderous intent towards him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Sen also became alert and once again picked up the demon steel shield, standing in front of Lin Rui.
His heart tingled; could it be that he had encountered that great demon again who had pressed him down until he fainted with telekinesis?
At this moment, inside the Peach Wood Forest, a figure dressed as an arrest officer held a blade in one hand, coldly staring at Lin Rui.
His eyes were filled with violent murderous intent, disbelief, and an expression of shock and rage.
About two breaths after the two sides had confronted each other, this figure quietly slid backward, swiftly retreating from the back side of the Peach Wood Forest.
Soon after that, a large group of people carrying torches came over from outside the courtyard.
The two leading them were none other than Zhao Yuanwai and Instructor Hong, followed by several protectors and those 20 county soldiers, as well as a large group of brave youths armed with wooden sticks.
When Zhao Yuanwai entered the backyard garden and saw the scene before him, his plump face instantly turned pale. "Lin, the arrest officer, may I ask what has happened here?"
Instructor Hong, with a solemn expression, walked up to the steward's corpse, lifted the steward's clothing with his blade, and saw a skeleton covering the upper part of the steward's right arm.
His face tightened, "Yuanwai, Steward Zhang has been possessed by a demon."
Instructor Hong then looked at Lin Rui and Wang Sen with admiration in his eyes, "Instructor Hong is indeed ignorant of true heroes! You two managed to kill three demonic cultivators of the third realm without a scratch, a feat I cannot match!"
He had previously guessed that the constabulary had run out of people, which was why these two beardless young arrest officers were sent.
It turned out this person was incredibly powerful!
At this moment, Zhao Yuanwai had also figured out the situation, his heart jumped and he took several steps back.
Then, trembling, he waved his hand, "Someone, go and bring me silver, 300 taels of demon silver! Also, from my storeroom, bring two middle-grade Soul Stones and two Dragon-Tiger Meridian Pills, and prepare a banquet! Make it the best wine and dishes, I want to properly host these two heroes!"
He did not know that the three demonic cultivators were specifically targeting Lin Rui, and at this moment, he felt genuine gratitude.
The thought that his own steward had been a demonic cultivator all along, secretly lurking by his side, made him shiver with fear.
The crowd behind them was abuzz with murmurs,
"Killed three third realm demonic cultivators? Is that real or fake?"
"Could it be fake? Didn't you hear the commotion just now? Didn't Instructor Hong just confirm it himself? You know what kind of person Instructor Hong is; he wouldn't speak recklessly."
"Impressive! I thought this Deputy Constable Lin was too young, inexperienced, and unreliable, but who knew his abilities were so robust."
"Who would have thought that we have such a powerful person in our county office!"
Lin Rui and Wang Sen exchanged glances and both smirked.
It seems they could make a good profit from this incident.
Just as Lin Rui was about to ask Zhao Yuanwai which delicacies to prepare, Lin Rui's waist token suddenly began to heat up.
He took the waist token and pressed the beast head button, and the voice of the County Magistrate came out from it.
"You two return to the county office immediately, be sure to be cautious on the way, I have arranged rooms for you. For the next month, you are to stay within the county office, and try not to go home at night."
Lin Rui was startled by these words, then he silently sighed.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to enjoy Zhao Yuanwai's banquet today, a pity! He was actually very curious about the food from Tiantai Star.
He then instinctively glanced in the direction of Zuihua House.
Lin Rui was slightly stunned; he discovered that Zuihua House was on fire, blazing brightly, and particularly noticeable in the night.
Lin Rui also saw a girl in red standing on a nearby wall, looking at him with an unusual gaze.
Lin Rui glared back fiercely—mind your own business!
Wait until I reach the fourth realm, let's see if you dare to look then.
Meanwhile, at Zuihua House, the young County Magistrate was pleasanterly extending his hand, suppressing the fire behind Zuihua House with his strong True Yuan.
He had just seen the situation at Zhao Yuanwai's house.
Lin Twelve and Wang Twenty-Seven had both survived; they had been trapped in such a perilous situation yet emerged unscathed and even counter-killed three third realm demonic cultivators.
The powerful combat abilities displayed by these two young men truly surprised him.
Instructor Du was wrong; this idle move he played turned out to be a sharp and piercing knife.
The child had actually cultivated the Thunder Fire Pillar Technique to the Grandmaster level, which greatly repressed demons and demonic cultivators. Their strong regenerative abilities were useless in front of Lin Twelve.
The young County Magistrate also knew why the Blood Blade Lady was following Lin Twelve now, and his eyes showed a hint of anticipation and excitement.
Reaching the third realm within a few days would not be very difficult for this child, would it?
