Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 708 - 662: Star Burial

Chapter 708 -662: Star Burial

“Mayor Huo? What seems to be the matter? Lian Yi’an is dead? And Customs Commissioner Adam Reina, along with the Coast Guard Commander Xu Feiyu? But what does this have to do with me? You’re not suggesting it was me, are you?”

“Mayor Huo, don’t talk nonsense, that’s slander! Hold on— I asked my intelligence director, and she confirmed it with accurate intel: it was the Children’s Song Killer. Don’t curse at me— our relationship is too good for that! The one who made a move was the Children’s Song Killer, not me.”

“What connection do I have with the Children’s Song Killer? Just because the Security Bureau says so, it must be true? Then what’s the point of having laws?”

At a star port dock on the southern edge of Ninth Base City, Lin Rui, clad in the full gear of the “Children’s Song Killer,” stood at the bow of a Destroyer Starship, speaking with Huo Bangguo.

“You’re planning to come back now? Old Huo, the Children’s Song Killer has already made their move. What good will it do for you to return now? It will take you at least an hour and twenty minutes to get back to the Base City. By then, the Children’s Song Killer has probably already eliminated all the truly important targets. What would be the point of protecting the leftovers? Why not just head to Great Song and avoid the hassle?”

“—No need for that, right? This trip to the star port is a great honor. If we can establish more stable, abundant, and cost-effective supply chains in Great Song, it would benefit not just your own enterprises but also Ninth Base City tremendously. It could earn you significant prestige as Mayor…”

“What? Hmm? The signal’s bad on my end, serious interference here. I’ll treat you to a meal later, hanging up now—”

Lin Rui abruptly ended the call, thinking to himself: Did this Mayor Huo even consider the implications when accepting the invitation to leave?

The Longevity Association was now in full-scale war with the Security Bureau faction led by Li Xianglong, and Mayor Huo chose to make an official visit at this critical moment. What exactly was he planning?

And now he was putting on a fierce act— who was this performance meant for? He even swore at him, completely disregarding the two meals Lin Rui and Fang Ranran had treated him to, along with the three plots of land they conceded outside the Ninth Base City.

Lin Rui then dialed Shi Yan’s number: “Shi Yan, take it easy. Old Fei told me that you stormed into the Utherred Logistics Company alone and took out Utherred Mays along with all three of his security teams? Why didn’t you use the 30 units of 320mm Antimatter Annihilation Cannons I prepared for you? The commotion you caused was way too big!”

Shi Yan, currently moving at high speed and preparing for a new mission, was left speechless by his comment.

Although Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable had found those “Antimatter Annihilation Cannons” to be a hindrance, so Shi Yan hadn’t given the command to use them— but still, they were Antimatter Annihilation Cannons! Which method would create a bigger commotion? fгeewebnovёl.com

She soon realized that by “too much commotion,” Lin Rui was referring to her having revealed too much of her strength during the fight.

“Cleaning up the aftermath is a real hassle, you know? I have to personally head over and use the Purifying Fire. Fine! Just go easy for now. Try not to rely on the old Immortal Venerable’s power for a while, let him recuperate a bit. Let’s see— the next target is Adam Reina, commander of the Second Security Brigade at the star port. Don’t mess with him; the Second Brigade consists of public officials.”

“Hmm~ The remaining targets are all individual ones. Fei Yunlai and Gong Hengdao have already freed themselves up; I’ll have them assist you. You have their contacts, right? Add them to your combat group. Shi Yan, if you truly don’t want to be devoured by that Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable in the future, you need to maintain your independence as much as possible and rely more on your own power.”

At this point, several key targets had already been eliminated. Fei Yunlai and Gong Hengdao were indeed now available to assist Shi Yan in combat.

Lin Rui then began humming the children’s song “Two Tigers, Two Tigers Running Fast,” as he leaped off the bow of the Destroyer Starship.

The surrounding area was littered with corpses, their faces ashen-gray, hands clutching their throats. Black blood oozed from their mouths and nostrils.

The dock’s ventilation and filtration systems were sophisticated and heavily reinforced.

Yet, all the guards and crew members here had died from poisoning.

Even the high-level Armored Martial Cultivators wearing Type 7 and Type 8 exoskeleton armor, complete with independent life-support systems, were not spared.

This was because the toxins Lin Rui had developed no longer required airborne transmission. His “Paralysis” and “Divine Poison” concepts had reached 35% effectiveness, even evolving into a “Fatality” concept. He also wielded the “Conduction” concept, originating from another Yang Element Heavenly Venerate, the Light King— this concept had reached 20% effectiveness.

Lin Rui could fully leverage his Conceptual Powers and ether elements to propagate his poison.

Thus, the dock’s filtration systems were effectively useless against him, further accelerating his advancements in the abilities of “Paralysis” and “Divine Poison.”

Lin Rui then approached Wang Tianwu: “So, what did these two confess?”

Wang Tianwu, holding a spell in one hand, had an ethereal gleam in his eyes.

Before him knelt two former government officials: ex-Chief of Police for Ninth Base City, Dai Zhenshan, and ex-Deputy Minister of the Ninth Division of the Security Bureau, You Ming.

They were both covered in blood, their faces pale with vacant, bewildered stares.

Upon closer inspection, it was evident that not only had their exoskeleton armor been completely destroyed, but even their chest and abdomen regions— and their very spinal cords— had been hollowed out, rendering them utterly incapacitated.

Since the Bright Front emerged victorious and formed a coalition government with the ruling party, Huo Bangguo had narrowly held onto his position as Mayor. Dai Zhenshan had been unceremoniously ousted by Huo Bangguo, and You Ming was forced to resign from the Security Bureau.
