Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 179 No Big Deal (Subscribe Please)

Before slipping into unconsciousness, Fei Yunlai thought he was certainly going to die!

His condition was atrocious, not only had he sustained grievous injuries, his entire spine had been hacked into seventeen or eighteen segments, his battle dragon and protector demon were also critically injured and on the verge of death, with severed limbs and incomplete internal organs.

The key issue was that more than half of his biological chip had been destroyed, and both quantum communication modules were damaged.

That insane woman clearly knew about their foreign Heavenly Demons; she targeted their biological chips from the start, ensuring to smash that before fighting him to the death.

Now, Fei Yunlai could neither transfer his Primordial Spirit back to the ninth base nor call for help from friends near Wangcheng County.

Only one electromagnetic communication module was still functioning, with a signal range that could cover the surrounding two hundred miles.

However, let's not discuss whether within this range of two hundred miles there were any other alien wanderers.

Even if there were, Fei Yunlai was very concerned about his future predicaments.

In the eyes of the people from Tianji Star, all of these 'foreign Heavenly Demons' were one and the same, but among themselves, many of their kin were to be guarded against with caution.

If his alien body fell into the hands of some organizations and companies that were not so considerate in their methods, the result would be a fate worse than death.

How had he, Fei Yunlai, become so unlucky to encounter Meng Weiyun, that insane woman?

He hadn't provoked her in any way, and he hadn't committed any major crimes recently, yet that woman had been relentless, chasing him for over five hundred miles, determined to not give up until one of them was dead, resulting in both of them being badly injured.

This woman was indeed a 'Heavenly Official', charged with the pursuit of wanted criminals on the imperial list, but she was almost too dedicated to her duty, reckless to the point of courting death.

It wasn't until Fei Yunlai felt a needle stick in his neck and a chilly medicinal fluid injected into his body that he hazily opened his eyes to see a man dressed only in undergarments, with a masked face, sitting beside him.

Fei Yunlai instantly became alert and instinctively tensed his body: "Who are you?"

What was this person doing wearing only undergarments? What did he mean by this?

"Shut your mouth!"

With a buzz in his voice, Lin Rui scolded impatiently: "I'm setting your bones right now, don't move!"

He was in a very bad mood as well.

Initially, Fei Yunlai was a reinforcement whom both he and Professor Han were eagerly anticipating, but now, he had ended up in such a state and would need their care.

The reason he was in undergarments was naturally to prevent Fei Yunlai from guessing his identity.

Lin Rui had arrived wearing the official battle armor of a sixth-rank officer from the Wang City, with his officer's uniform underneath. If Fei Yunlai were to see that, he would recognize Lin Rui's identity as a sixth-rank officer from the Wang City at a glance.

Lin Rui knew that he needed to keep his identity and official rank highly secretive, and they should not be exposed lightly.

Even if the person was Fei Yunlai, it was the same.

If it were not for Professor Han's group possessing his initial information, Lin Rui would not have been willing to meet them using this identity.

"Whoever you are, thank you!"

Fei Yunlai relaxed slightly, sensing no malice in Lin Rui's words. His thoughts stirred and his eyes lit up as he said, "You are Lin Rui? No! You must be Lin Rui! I never expected you to be my savior this time, I owe you my life."

As he said the latter part, Fei Yunlai spoke with certainty.

On one hand, he was relieved that since it was an acquaintance with whom he was familiar, there would be no issues; on the other hand, he wanted to cover his face with his hands, as he was thoroughly embarrassed this time.

However, Lin Rui's expression was one of complete surprise: "How did you recognize me?"

"It's the abyss; I've seen the aura of the abyss condensed in your spirit. Your alien form and your original body are exactly the same."

Suppressing his embarrassment, Fei Yunlai feigned nonchalance and laughed lightly: "So if you don't want others to know your identity in the future, this is something you must take into account."

He had guessed why Lin Rui was wearing just undergarments. Fei Yunlai was a bit curious—what identity did this guy have that he needed to hide so carefully?

Soon after, Fei Yunlai realized something was amiss: "You are setting my spinal bones?"

He felt Lin Rui cutting him open and tinkering with something inside his body.

"Yes, your entire spine is broken, and it's quite tricky to set it back in place. I also need to perform a repositioning surgery on your five viscera and six bowels, the surrounding blood vessels and nerves are a complete mess."

Lin Rui lamented the enormity of the surgery required: "You're lucky you encountered me; otherwise, even if you survived, you would be paralyzed from a high position."

A seventh-tier Martial Cultivator's self-healing abilities are exceptionally powerful, but the human body is a very precise apparatus, and if the position of nerves and blood vessels is even slightly incorrect, it will leave severe consequences.

Suffice it to say, this guy's injuries were actually a bit worse than Meng Weiyun's, which indicated that although Meng Weiyun was only at the sixth tier, her combat capability was slightly stronger than Fei Yunlai's.

"No!" Fei Yunlai was covered with metaphorical black lines: "Lin Rui, you know how to perform surgery? You can help with spinal bone grafting?"

"I can do the grafting. What about it?" Lin Rui replied nonchalantly: "Didn't you know? I'm now a student of Professor Sima, on a direct PhD track."

Hearing the name Professor Sima, Fei Yunlai instinctively felt somewhat reassured. However, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "It's still summer vacation right now. As a disciple of Professor Sima, you probably haven't even started school yet, right? Lin Rui, think carefully, are you sure you can do this?"

Lin Rui pondered the gravity of the situation.

'Blood Core Fury,' this combat creature, must be implanted into the spinal marrow, which is why he was relatively familiar with the spines of the Tianji Star people.

He had already switched to the Great Grandmaster level Acupuncture Healing Technique, and before descending, he had also conducted two simulated surgeries, possessing a high degree of confidence.

He was certain he wouldn't cripple the fellow.

Lin Rui, thereafter, stopped paying attention to Fei Yunlai, concentrating solely on completing the surgery.

He had already inserted the needles he carried with him into over a dozen of Fei Yunlai's vital acupuncture points, which on one hand, served to anesthetize, and on the other, prevented Fei Yunlai from moving.

About half an hour later, Lin Rui sewed up Fei Yunlai's abdomen and retracted those Golden Needles, "That's it. You can introspect and feel if there's anything out of place."

Fei Yunlai furrowed his brows deeply, first introspecting, then moving his limbs slightly.

He then let out a surprised gasp.

The skill of Lin Rui was unexpectedly quite impressive; at least he felt no tendons in his body had been incorrectly connected.

It seemed there was a reason why Lin Rui was taken in as a disciple by Professor Sima.

Fei Yunlai shook his head with a wry smile, owing a favor that was incredibly immense this time.

He then felt a deep fatigue and weakness within himself, furrowing his brows deeply, "Lin Rui, do you still have any recovery injections on you?"

"No! And even if I did, it'd be of no use to you right now. What you lack is blood and primordial energy, not a recovery agent. One dose of that medicine is enough, taking more would be wasteful and would only deplete your blood essence."

Lin Rui shook his head, he had only brought two vials with him this time, with him and Blood Blade Ji carrying one each.

The injection that Fei Yunlai received was the one carried by Blood Blade Ji.

Lin Rui then took another look at Fei Yunlai's war dragon and the situation of his guardian Heavenly Demon.

Fei Yunlai's guardian Heavenly Demon was still in a state of unconsciousness, being a female 'Tengu' with a super-king bloodline of the seventh realm.

Tengu were also a type of combat creature with formidable strength, usually in human form, but able to transform into a combat mode resembling the mythological creature 'Tengu' from ancient Japan.

It is said that once such a demon is subdued, it will remain loyally devoted.

No wonder this guy could wander around the ninth city every day even after being listed on the royal warrant.

Fei Yunlai's war dragon had also sustained severe injuries, nearly on the brink of death.

But Blood Blade Ji had been catching big fish in the lake for it all this while.

With the supply of flesh and energy replenished, its condition had greatly improved, regaining some strength.

"Now that you're able to move on your own, you shouldn't stay here for long. Later you can rush to this location,"

Lin Rui left Fei Yunlai with an address, a secluded manor just outside Wangcheng County, "I've already informed Professor Han. He'll be waiting for you there with various medications."

Having made his arrangements, Lin Rui hurriedly left amid Fei Yunlai's astonished and skeptical gaze.

He had already stayed here for quite a long time, and continuing to linger could likely arouse Meng Weiyun's suspicion.

As Lin Rui hastily made his way back to the ravine where Meng Weiyun was hiding, he discovered that Meng Weiyun had fainted again.

However, Meng Weiyun's war dragon was awake, vigilantly guarding in front of her.

Lin Rui frowned deeply, restraining the urge to use the Acupuncture Healing Technique on Meng Weiyun,

He actually could use acupuncture to alleviate her injuries, even help her resolve the remnants of Fei Yunlai's ultimate technique.

But he could not do so; it wouldn't be reasonable for Lin Rui to suddenly learn the Acupuncture Healing Technique without explanation, as this wasn't the information-rich Earth Federation, and he was merely a native of the Tianji Star with nowhere to acquire such knowledge.

There must be a preceding step and buffer before that, continuing to reinforce his persona as an all-around genius.

Lin Rui bowed to the war dragon, "Brother Dragon, I need to move Lord Meng to the vicinity of Jinggang near Wang City. Not only can better medications be purchased there, renowned physicians can be hired to treat Lord Meng, and it'll be convenient for me to take care of her nearby. Lord Meng has instructed me not to disclose her condition, so I ask Brother Dragon to be mindful of our surroundings on the way."

He didn't know if the war dragon understood, but judging from Ji Shenyan's Royal Flame War Dragon's behavior, these unique creatures seemed to possess self-awareness.

The war dragon's gaze flickered before it actually picked up Meng Weiyun with one arm.

Its right leg had not yet fully recovered, with only the bone regrown, but this did not hinder its movement.

Seeing this, Lin Rui nodded slightly and, leading the way with Blood Blade Ji, sped towards Wang City.

Conveniently, the two mounts they left dozens of miles away had partly recovered their strength. It was now midnight, and the weather was poor, with a thick, ink-like night enveloping the sky, almost obscuring all light.

The war dragon following Lin Rui moved with incredible agility, making no noise whatsoever during its march, and not even leaving a single footprint behind.

They raced through the thick night, moving silently through the forest.
