Chapter 29: Chapter 28: Soul Power
“I hadn’t expected that your swordsmanship had reached such a level, that one strike of ‘Red Thunder’ already possesses the essence of sword techniques. It seems you have also entered the second realm of Martial Cultivation, the Vein Opening Phase, haven’t you?”
Zhang Tianchang leaped down from the wall and landed in front of Lin Rui.
He looked down at Lin Rui’s chest, “How is your injury now? Can you move?”
Lin Rui really wanted to say that he was actually critically injured and needed to continue resting in bed for a while, but he had already been seen by Zhang Tianchang practicing his swordsmanship vigorously, so it wasn’t good to lie to his face.
Lin Rui could only helplessly clasp his hands together, “My bone fractures and external injuries are still quite serious, but they should be no trouble.”
“Why do you sound so reluctant?”
...
Zhang Tianchang laughed dryly, and then sighed, “You and Number Twenty-Seven are good kids, more honest than the others.”
His tone, for some reason, carried a bit of relief.
He then turned around and opened the door, “If it’s nothing serious, come with me. Today there is a task to be handled, and afterward, we need to go to Zuihua House. The County Magistrate has ordered all on-duty Government Officials to report to Zuihua House in one hour! Number Twelve, no need to change clothes, just bring your sword, this case is urgent.”
Lin Rui, completely bewildered, could only follow behind Zhang Tianchang with his sword in hand.
At this time, Wang Sen also jumped down from the wall and walked alongside Lin Rui.
He looked quite helpless, “Bad luck, I was also seen by the arrest officer while practicing with my sword.”
After his arrival in a different body, Wang Sen also couldn’t wait to adapt to his new form.

As a result, while Wang Sen was practicing with his sword, Zhang Tianchang suddenly descended from the sky, landing directly in his yard.
At that time, his situation was even worse than Lin Rui’s; he was completely unprepared.
Lin Rui recalled the information provided by the Alien Management Bureau in his mind and gradually understood the reason.
He massaged his temples with great headache, “It seems we’ve been drafted for labor; this might be troublesome.”
“Isn’t it?” Wang Sen also sighed.
The battle with the fourth realm demon three days ago had left more than just the two of them injured.
At the time, eighty constables from the county office had participated in the battle, and seventy-three of them were wounded and had subsequently taken leave to recover at home.
However, according to the information from the Alien Management Bureau, of these seventy-three constables, only seven were truly severely injured; the others were either feigning injuries or had only sustained minor scratches.
The reasons behind this were complex; it could be because the escaped demon was too powerful, making the situation in the county office too dangerous, or it could be related to the power struggles within the county office. Their County Magistrate was an outsider and very assertive, not getting along well with several local influential Government Officials.
That’s why Zhang Tianchang had said they were good kids.
People like them were rare in the county office.
Both remembered the risk alerts issued by the Alien Management Bureau before their descent, and they felt a gloom settling in their hearts.
“She’s lunging at Lin Twelve.”
“Lin Twelve, be careful, this demon is tricky! She’s third stage, watch out for her hair strands, don’t let her touch you, or she’ll drain your essence blood.”
At this moment, the old grandmother was using her hair like feet, moving with the speed of a six-legged spider, and pounced towards the beams with the speed of lightning.
From a distance, Wang Sen’s mind tightened, but he quickly calmed down again.
Martial Cultivator third stage blood refinement early phase, equivalent to a captain in the Earth Federation.
Although the demon was severely injured by Zhang Tianchang just now, she still retained at least thirty to fifty percent of her strength.
However, Lin Rui, who could withstand Nolan Wei, a top-tier captain among Martial Cultivators, should have no problem handling a seriously injured third-stage demon.
Zhang Tianchang was slightly alarmed and worried. Before coming here, he hadn’t expected that this old grandmother, who had never practiced martial arts before, would reach the third realm directly after turning demonic!
Zhang Tianchang had just seen Lin Twelve’s use of Red Thunder, and the level was indeed very high, much to his surprise.
However, Lin Twelve was only at the initial stage of the second realm and might not be sufficient to cope with this third-stage demon.
He immediately soared into the air, chasing after the silhouette of the third-stage demon. At the same time, several flying knives shot out from his sleeves, pursuing like shooting stars.
However, even though the Thousand Silk Demon was severely injured, her agility remained exceptional. Her figure shifted left and right, managing to only get hit by one knife.
Her gaze, fierce and wild, stared at Lin Rui, a mad and ferocious smile appearing on her face.
If she could devour his essence blood, this small constable, the weakest among the surrounding constables, her injuries would instantly recover by half.
Lin Rui, watching the old grandmother pounce towards him, felt rather helpless. Why was he so unlucky? Right from the start on Tianji Star, his luck was terrible. It’s said that one should be a layabout.
After a brief contemplation, he decided to strike with all his might.
Lin Rui, from a higher position, fiercely chopped downwards from the rooftop, bringing forth thunder and lightning snakes!
This was exactly the move ‘Red Thunder’ that Zhang Tianchang had seen!
At this point, there was no time for holding back. Being hesitant now would only raise suspicions.
He could conceal his true strength for a while, but it would inevitably cause future trouble.
Thus, without any hesitation, his blade was sharp and decisive, pushing his divine right and celestial speed bloodlines to their limits. Both his blade force and speed were like thunder!
“Boom!”
With a booming explosion, the old grandmother’s body was blasted into the courtyard like a cannonball, her whole body burning with white flames as she let out a desperate wail.
Her wailing abruptly ended, however, as Lin Rui leaped down from the roof and directly beheaded the old grandmother with one slash.
Just then, new information appeared in Lin Rui’s mind.
Notification: Slaying a third-stage demon, gained 532 Soul Power.
Lin Rui’s eyes momentarily flickered.
