Chapter 428 I Didn't Hide Drugs (Please Subscribe)
Lin Rui jumped down from the armored command vehicle when, a hundred meters away at the eastern corner of the villa, there suddenly came a deafening explosion.
The ground immediately shook violently, followed by a huge impact of Astral Force that nearly toppled the dozen or so civilian personnel following in his team.
Lin Rui hovered steadily in the air, as stable as Mount Tai, and glanced sideways at that direction, noticing two Sixth Realm Battle Dragons clashing there.
The Battle Dragon positioned to the south belonged to a high-level expert from the Security Bureau, while the other one, according to the intelligence Xue Lingxue had gathered beforehand, was supposed to be the Jade Dragon—owned by Li Zhaokang's second son—a Sixth Realm Super King.
This Battle Dragon fought in a crazed manner, not only using both claws and teeth in relentless attacks against its opponent but also manipulating the explosive growth of vines around it to continually assault the law enforcement officers of the Security Bureau.
The battle between the two was exceedingly fierce, and the moment they engaged, the surrounding buildings completely collapsed.
Lin Rui glanced over at the scene and thought to himself that the intelligence was wrong. Li Mingji, the seemingly gentle second son of Li Zhaokang, turned out to also suffer from Armament Syndrome.
He then walked behind an armored vehicle parked in front of the main gate.
This bomb-resistant armored vehicle had its frontal defense significantly reinforced, having been fitted with two layers of 200-millimeter armor.
Not only had it withstood the various ammunition fired from inside the estate, but it had also just taken two hits from smart missiles.
Atop the armored vehicle, two Type 7 40mm 'Six Roots Pure Wheel' guns were firing into the estate, while also being used by a group of the Security Bureau's special agents as a temporary cover.
Nearby, two Dragon Slayer Type 6 combat robots and one Dragon Slayer Type 7 robot were firing forcefully.
These East Asian-made combat robots were not only full of firepower, but their movements were also incredibly agile and flexible.
To the average person, their movements appeared like phantoms, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Their combat AI was also exceptionally strong, capable like a Martial Cultivator of adeptly using various close and long-range weapons and utilizing cover to protect themselves.
"Boss!" Zhang Long was also present and looked at Lin Rui with a helpless expression, "I suggest you just watch from behind, it's quite dangerous here—this isn't difficult for us, and there's no need for you to take action."
He originally wanted to say it was very dangerous but then held back to avoid embarrassing Lin Rui in front of many colleagues.
This guy is merely a Fourth Realm, at the rank of lieutenant colonel. Although his physical fitness and spiritual power are not inferior to those of a senior colonel-level Martial Cultivator, and his Martial Arts assessment is an unprecedented 4SSS+, the villa currently may harbor who knows how many experts!
Why is this guy adding chaos to the front line?
His superior was all good except for having a bit of a dark heart and a possibly abnormal brain—extraordinarily bold, possibly inflicted with Armament Syndrome.
As Zhang Long spoke, he saw Xue Lingxue also carrying a sniper rifle and following up, obviously very concerned about Lin Rui's safety.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Lin Rui shook his head slightly, "There are more than a thousand people inside, and so many experts that the slightest carelessness could lead to casualties among our brothers. Moreover, this operation is very important and is receiving a lot of attention from all sides."
He definitely did not want to see tomorrow's papers headlined with 'Security Bureau high officials act recklessly, resulting in mass casualties among agents.'
Lin Rui focused his gaze on the situation, using the situational awareness equipment of his exoskeleton armor to perceive the conditions inside the villa.
"BOSS, I really feel it's not necessary." Zhang Long felt an extreme headache, thinking about how to persuade Lin Rui to return when Lin Rui already seized the opportunity, his body suddenly transforming into a bolt of Purple Thunder, abruptly breaking into the interior of the estate.
To differentiate his Light Element Martial Arts from Martial Arts Star Lin Rui's, Thunder Admiral primarily focused on Thunder Element Martial Arts, with Light Fire as a secondary.
He mastered many types of Martial Arts, never worried about someone catching him in a flaw.
As soon as he broke in, Lin Rui fired five consecutive shots, bursting the heads of two bodyguards and three members of the Loyalty Gang near him.
He then became the target of surrounding Li Family thugs' concentrated fire, with dozens of guns firing at him, promptly shredding him with a hail of bullets.
Lin Rui's Thunder Escape was indeed both rapid and nimble; he discarded his gun for a blade and with a burst flash, decapitated two more nearby heads.
His 7SSS+ level Outer Elixir 'Kui Dragon' allowed his abilities to rival those of the Sixth Realm, even providing him with True Yuan at the rank of Seventh Realm Super Emperor.
Zhang Long, who followed behind, however, was not so fortunate. Seeing Lin Rui charge in, he did not dare to lag and immediately followed suit, aiming to provide full coverage for 'Thunder'.
Not only was this man his immediate superior, but he was also the Commander of the Great Song Spy Detection Bureau, currently the most important ace walker within the Security Bureau. Zhang Long could not allow anything to happen to him on his watch, or the General would cast him into Purgatory.
—Such reckless behavior!
But, while the thugs inside could not lock onto Lin Rui, they poured their bullets on Zhang Long instead, causing his body to sparkle with gunfire.
Even though Zhang Long practiced Cross Training, with a titanium skeleton and both exoskeleton armor and nano armor that were nearly top-tier models.
Facing the fire of dozens of guns, however, he still felt he could not hold on.
He had no time to care for himself, utterly shocked by the scene before him.
At that moment, a question arose in Zhang Long's mind: Is this Thunder really Lin Rui?
—This is a 6SSS+ level expert, with at least an Emperor Rank Bloodline, and a definitely Super Emperor level in Martial Arts assessment, altogether 6SSS+!
This was the true rank of an Admiral, even without a Battle Dragon by his side.
Zhang Long instantly knew he could not keep up with Lin Rui's pace, and immediately called for the many snipers behind to provide cover.
Lin Rui used his Thunder Element Escape Skill to dart around from all sides, efficiently slaughtering his enemies.
System Notification: Killed a Fourth Realm Demon Transformation Martial Cultivator, gained 2463 points of Soul Power.
System Notification: Killed a Fifth Realm Demon Transformation Martial Cultivator, gained 4213 points of Soul Power.
System Notification: Killed a Fifth Realm Demon Transformation Martial Cultivator, gained 4525 points of Soul Power.
This Li Zhaokang was truly deserving of his reputation as an underworld kingpin who had led the Loyalty Gang for eighty years; his forces were incredibly strong.
The bodyguards and gang members in this villa were all at least at the Fourth Realm, which equated to the ranks of Major and Lieutenant Colonel.
Just then, a Mecha Dragon standing eighteen meters tall, clad in green with shades of dark gold runes encircling its body, appeared before him.
"Die!"
Due to its massive size, the Mecha Dragon's strength was generally five to six times greater than its pilot's own body, and its punch even caused a fierce storm in the surrounding area.
At the same time, numerous vines appeared around them, entangling themselves towards Lin Rui.
Lin Rui noticed that this Battle Dragon was currently in a unified state with its pilot.
Meaning that the person was inside the Battle Dragon, directly controlling it in battle.
The advantage of this method was that it could maximize the divine might of the Battle Dragon, but the downside was losing the fighting power of a Dragon Stage fighter.
Generally, only Martial Cultivators with insufficient spiritual power, unable to multitask, would choose to fight in this manner.
Yet this wasn't just any Emperor Rank expert; he had even mastered 3% of the 'Entanglement' Concept.
The vines were especially slippery; even Lin Rui, in his electrified state, had to be careful or he could be ensnared by them.
He narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly. First dodging several punches unleashed by the Battle Dragon, he then leaped into the air and positioned himself directly above the dragon's head, then brutally executed the Sixth Realm Super Emperor Secret Technique, 'Thunder Moves Nine Heavens.'
The torrential thunder and lightning gathered on his blade until it collided with a pair of gauntlets used by the Battle Dragon, exploding into a vast sea of thunder.
"Bastard!"
The person inside the Battle Dragon let out a muffled groan as his body staggered backward, overwhelmed by the tyrannical blade momentum of the Super Emperor Secret Technique.
The opponent's Bloodline Ability was definitely of the Emperor Rank in the Sixth Realm! And it wasn't just that they had more innate abilities than others; their strength and speed were also far beyond those of the same rank.
The person's power burst forth especially strong at that moment, so strong that even in a fused state with the Battle Dragon, he could not withstand it.
Just as this person was gathering strength to counterattack and the nearby High-level Martial Cultivators rushed to reinforce,
Another burst of Thunder Secret Blade light erupted from Lin Rui's blade, as if his sword had suddenly extended a great length forward!
This was clearly the second form of 'Thunder Moves Nine Heavens'! It was also Lin Rui's continuously improved 6SSS-ranked Secret Technique 'Light Transition Slash,' allowing him to strike twice in less than a one ten-thousandth of a second! Moreover, with two consecutive Super Emperor Secret Blade moves, there was no need for a recovery period.
At that moment, the surrounding spacetime experienced an instant of twisted stasis.
The person inside the Battle Dragon turned deathly pale at this sight.
"How is this possible?"
How could this guy launch a second strike after exhausting his strength?
And what was this time manipulation ability that was so overpowering?
His thoughts were abruptly halted as the inertia of time also froze his thinking.
The Li Family's Sixth Realm experts rushing over to help changed their expressions when they saw this scene; despite their desperate efforts to reach him, there wasn't enough time.
By the time everything returned to normal over there, the entire waist of the Super King Jade Battle Dragon, including the Sixth Realm expert inside, had been severed!
In that instant, the entire Li Family villa fell into a deadly silence.
It took a full breath later before someone exclaimed, "Mr. Li, the second, is dead!"
Li Zhaokang, who was standing on the balcony, was fully armed but hesitated whether to join the battle and solidify his crime of violent resistance against the law.
When he saw this scene from afar, he nearly fainted.
That was his brother Li Zhaoyi, not the most capable commander under his command, but a pillar of their family, Li Zhaokang's formerly most reliable arm.
At that moment, Li Zhaokang heard another excited roar nearby, "Found their drug stash! It's in the servant's quarters, a full ten tons! And it's all high-quality stuff made from Sky Extreme Star materials."
Li Zhaokang was stunned once again, thinking that it was impossible!
How could there be drugs hidden in my house? I didn't hide any drugs!
First, Li Zhaokang was furious, and then he felt a chilling coldness seeping into the depths of his bones.
He realized he might be finished—
