Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 622: Chapter 595: War of the Gods (Asking for Subscriptions, Third Release)

When Shi Yan stepped onto the arena, Ji Tiantao also walked towards the contestants’ seats with a pale face.

As they passed by each other, Ji Tiantao let out a wry smile: “Sorry, that person was simply too strong, so strong that we couldn’t catch up no matter what.”

While speaking, he looked back at Lin Rui with a look of admiration and awe that looked up to a mountain.

Ji Tiantao failed to achieve the goal of the Abyssal Biomechanical Company’s advisory team to probe the depth of Lin Rui’s abilities.

The gap between them was simply too vast; even if he underwent Dragon Transformation, he still wouldn’t qualify to battle with Lin Rui.

This was the insurmountable mountain standing before their generation!

Shi Yan narrowed her eyes, her mind chilling to coldness.

Lin Rui was indeed very strong, so strong that just now she had to use the power of the Taixuan Heavenly Venerate to clearly see Lin Rui’s blade.

Just yesterday, she kept using the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable to simulate, trying to find a way to counter Lin Rui’s Yang Pulling Slash.

Today, he simply changed tactics, switching to another top-tier Secret Blade.

Therefore, she had already given up on today’s battle, realizing she was in no way an opponent to Lin Rui.

But this doesn’t mean she couldn’t catch up to him in the future!

At this moment, a distant and ethereal voice echoed in her mind: “It seems you don’t plan to use my power? Have you made up your mind? With your own strength, you might not even withstand a single one of his swords.”

Of course, Shi Yan had no intention of using it; this was her competition.

If she were to use the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable, wouldn’t that be cheating? Even if she won, what would be the meaning? To deceive herself?

“You have only one task, to identify what exactly is the situation with this Mr. Lin and which Abyssal remnant he carries within him?”

“That’ll be difficult. You’ll have to at least block one or two of his slashes. Hmm… Shi Yan, your physical condition seems a bit off. No, that’s not right! Someone has drugged you; when did that happen—”

By now, Shi Yan had already taken her place opposite Lin Rui.

Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, gripping the sword in her hands firmly.

Lin Rui, seeing her bowing her head in silence with a flushed face, couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was she about to confess her feelings to him? She appeared like a pure girl wanting to confess to the one she cherished, yet hesitant to speak.

Or was she preparing to use the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable?

He felt the divine aura on Shi Yan growing more and more intense.

She seemed to be struggling to suppress something, and she couldn’t help but let out moans, seemingly in great pain.

Veins started to show on Shi Yan’s neck as her aura became wildly tumultuous, yet at the same time, there was an indescribable sense of celestial mystery, something profound and unfathomable.

Seeing this, Lin Rui shook his head, thinking it must be so; Shi Yan was going to use the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable to fight him, but he, who often relied on the Battle Spirit Ring to rapidly advance his training, was not qualified to say anything.

He grasped his sword tightly, patiently waiting for the countdown.

At this moment, the black heavenly curtain appeared above the two fighters again, just like during yesterday’s semifinal.

The conceptual power of both sides collided fiercely in the arena.

The surrounding Protective Force Field was fully activated, stacking layer upon layer to the outside.

Great cracks began to form on the surface of the arena, stones flew about, and bursts of Gang Qi exploded, causing the VIP audience to scream in shock.

The people from Mingde University, led by Fei Yunlai and Fang Ranran, all changed their expressions.

Isn’t Shi Yan only at the Fifth Realm? How can her strength be so formidable?

The head coach of Future Science University also clutched the railing in utter surprise, leaning forward slightly.

Is this Shi Yan? Her conceptual power is so strong that she can contend with Lin Rui?

At this moment, the many masters in the private guest rooms couldn’t help but change their expressions.

They all felt the Abyssal presence from Shi Yan!

Was this the descent of the Abyss?

Although the presence seemed a bit weak, it was indeed the Abyss, no doubt!

Everyone had the same thought in their minds; they had not anticipated that the ‘Abyss Group’ had prepared such a trump card!

At the same time, Great Chief Priest Chen Long, who was also watching the match, had a dark expression. He could be sure that something had happened to Shi Yan.

Someone has sabotaged her to exploit Shi Yan’s Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable to kill Lin Rui!

And this matter is related to the intelligence he leaked yesterday.

At this moment, the tournament committee dares not be careless as four Eighth Realm Emperor Rank experts appear above the arena.

They stand suspended in the air, watching the ground with somber gazes, vigilant against any accidents.

“Three! Two! One! Zero! The battle begins——”

The moment the electronic voice says “zero,” Lin Rui ‘clangs’ as he draws his sword.

At the same time, Shi Yan also lifts her head, her crimson eyes locking onto Lin Rui.

Her sword unsheathes simultaneously, its light celestial and profound, transcending the very concept of time and space.

Lin Rui feels the powerful martial intent and divine thought Shi Yan has sent crashing towards him, but he remains unshaken as he slashes with his sword! The No. 7 Great Black Sky he wields transforms into a golden light barely visible to the naked eye.

“Clang!”

Their blades collide midway between them, sparking blinding fire.

The fragmented mighty Blade Astral and sword force sweep in all directions, forcing the supervising main judge to step back to avoid their sharpness.

His face is stricken with shock, as both of the combatants far exceed their own realms, reaching the levels of the Seventh and Eighth Realms!

“Mysterious!” Shi Yan, with blood-red eyes, believes she has blocked Lin Rui’s slash.

At this point, not only is she on the verge of losing consciousness, but Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable inside her is somehow unable to maintain coherent thoughts, leaving only the basic instinct to fight.

But just as Shi Yan changes her sword move to attack, she sees Lin Rui’s sword light suddenly lengthen.

— Lin Rui’s slash is so familiar!

— It’s the Yanguang Slash! It looks like the light from the sword has extended a bit.

— To be precise, it’s a combination of Yang Pulling Slash and Yanguang Slash. He’s actually combined these two Secret Blades together!

— The opponent is a remnant of a God from the Abyss, and she can’t block his slash? That’s Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable!

— How impressive! This slash has such a variation as well!

On the stands, some have recognized this slash, and amidst their contemplation, they exclaim in surprise.

In fact, this is not just the combination of Yang Pulling Slash with Yanguang Slash, but Lin Rui has also integrated the ‘Yang Pulling Slash’ with the ‘Ultimate Slash’ and ‘Yanguang Slash’. Not only has the power of the sword technique been further intensified, but it also allows two slashes in an instant!

It is currently his strongest strike, only second to Instant Light Slash and Root Slash!

The opponent is a remnant of a deity, and out of respect, Lin Rui uses 90% of his ‘usable’ power right from the start.

However, just as Lin Rui is about to slash Shi Yan’s head, he suddenly frowns and abruptly pulls back some of his strength.

His long sword first chops into Shi Yan’s neck and perilously stops less than a hair’s breadth away from her spinal cord.

The force of the blade instantly destroys Shi Yan’s blood vessels and spinal nerves, temporarily incapacitating her.

Then with a succession of slashes, he cuts off Shi Yan’s limbs, leaving her completely immobilized.

He then sniffs Shi Yan and says with piercing eyes, “Mr. Judge! Please conduct a blood test on her right now, something is off about her condition. I smell an insanity-inducing drug and stimulants, and also—”

Lin Rui’s gaze sweeps the surroundings, pinpointing the drink cups at Future Science University’s player seats: “Those drinks might be tampered with, you might consider detaining those people who’ve had contact with these beverages.”

The main judge’s expression shifts immediately, heading towards the Future Science University’s player seats.

He is somewhat skeptical of Lin Rui’s words. However, Lin Rui is not only a competitor but also a rising star as a biologist and pharmaceutical expert. His Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals’ skincare and health products are conquering territories throughout the Federation.

Given the accusation made by such a person, he has to respond, particularly given Shi Yan’s clearly abnormal condition!

Shi Yan can be left to the side for now; a medical team has already rushed up to administer first aid to Shi Yan, and they will conduct a blood test on her as well.

The main judge prepares to seal the beverages and apprehend the related individuals, waiting for the blood test results.

The head coach from Future Science University initially stands stupefied, still recovering from the incomprehensible slash Lin Rui made moments ago.

Shortly after, he receives a notification and his expression drastically changes as he furiously scans his surroundings.

This wasn’t the doing of their Abyss Group! They scorn the idea of cheating in this tournament; the 700-year reputation of the Abyss Group far outweighs the victory or loss of one battle!

Who is scheming against the Abyss Group? They are courting death!

The honor of the Abyss Group must remain untarnished!
