Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 707 - 661: Execution
Six hours later, at the intersection of Vanguard Street in the eastern district of Ninth Base City.
Shi Yan sat on the steps of the urban rail station, eating bread and drinking milk while listening to the news broadcast from her smart terminal wristband.
"——Today at 9:35 a.m., a violent explosion occurred at the home of Alexander Bagreav, the First Deputy Minister of the Security Bureau’s Twelfth Division and a One-star Marshal. When Security Bureau combat personnel arrived for reinforcement, they found that Marshal Bagreav had already died at his residence. Reports suggest there were extensive signs of combat at the scene, and Marshal Bagreav’s corpse was found to contain severe toxins. He is the sixth marshal-level high-ranking official assassinated since early this morning."
"According to a source, the attackers are presumed to belong to the terrorist organization ’Longevity Association.’ This covert society, which has been officially designated as a terrorist group by the President, possesses extraordinary military power. Its members are said to include over a hundred Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, more than five hundred Eighth Realm individuals, as well as numerous consortiums and banks involved."
"At 9:45 a.m. today, an interstellar cargo vessel captured footage of a Divine Envoy-level battle in outer space. One of the combatants has been identified as Security Bureau’s First Commander, Li Xianglong. Our station is currently negotiating with the trading company to acquire the video."
"——The Security Bureau headquarters held a press conference today. According to their spokesperson, the Security Bureau has, as of today, killed over 3,500 Longevity Association members, including twelve Eighth and Ninth Realm individuals, and vows to severely punish the association and its perpetrators!"
"The five major base cities directly controlled by the East Asia Republic are now under martial law starting today."
"In related news, the Mayor of our city, Huo Bangguo, has accepted an invitation from Lin Hao, a National Guardian of Great Song, Cabinet Minister, and Minister of Commerce, to visit the Star Port. It is reported that the National Guardian of Great Song intends to expand medicinal crop cultivation and improve yield across the eight states of Heluo, seeking technological assistance from Ninth Base City——"
Shi Yan’s lips twitched slightly at the thought that Mayor Huo Bangguo seemed to have learned nothing from his previous encounters.
Despite falling victim to countless ’lure-the-tiger-from-the-mountain’ ploys, he never seems to learn.
Amidst the intensifying conflict between the Security Bureau and the Longevity Association, with the storm growing fierce, Lin Hao merely beckoned him with a finger, and Huo Bangguo obediently ran to Sky Extreme Star.
Once he’s caught under the Heavenly Curtain, nestled at Great Song’s Star Port, he won’t be back for the next few days.
Or perhaps, he was just unwilling to get involved in the storm altogether, deliberately avoiding confrontation?
Shi Yan finished off her bread in just a few bites and then donned the cloak of her long trench coat.
The exoskeleton armor beneath her clothing covered her entire body, while a mask enveloped her face.
Now that Huo Bangguo has left, it’s time for her to begin her mission.
Shi Yan stepped out of the urban rail station, strolling towards a high-rise building named ’Tiantai.’
Her figure moved like a mirage, weaving through dense crowds and flickering forward a hundred meters at a time.
Shi Yan’s first target was Lian Yi’an, the chairman of Tiantai Security Group!
Tiantai Security Group is a rising star among security companies in recent years, servicing over thirty small and medium-sized businesses in Ninth Base City. It boasts a security team equivalent to an entire brigade and employs nearly 3,000 Alien Walkers.
Lian Yi’an himself is an Eighth Realm Emperor Rank Armored Martial Cultivator, a quasi-Member-level expert with combat strength approaching formidable mastery.
Lin Xi suspects Tiantai Security Group’s finances are deeply irregular. Its client base cannot support such a massive security team or sustain so many Alien Walkers. Lin Rui has deduced that Lian Yi’an is secretly leading the Longevity Association’s private militia in Ninth Base City.
This purge plan, designed by Lin Rui, has a blacklist dominated by government officials but also includes Longevity Association forces that are easier to eliminate.
Their strategy is to tackle the hardest targets first with swift and overwhelming Thunder-like precision, then clean up the remaining forces.
"Immortal Venerable, I’m counting on you for this!"
Shi Yan’s eyes turned blood-red.
Despite her current Seventh Realm cultivation and the implantation of twenty powerful auxiliary enhancements, her physical attributes had been elevated to an astonishing degree during Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s possession. However, Shi Yan’s martial arts abilities still lagged behind, and her control over her body and Bloodline Talent remained insufficient.
Facing an opponent like Lian Yi’an, a quasi-Member-level expert, Shi Yan needed Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s power.
Besides Lian Yi’an, there were three Ninth Realm combatants in the building, plus 3,000 Alien Walkers who were also part of her objective.
"No problem!" Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable immediately responded, though his tone carried noticeable fatigue, "Leave this to me entirely; make sure you don’t resist." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Shi Yan sensed Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s state and couldn’t help but show a trace of guilt in her eyes: "I’m sorry. If it’s too much, I can ask Lin Rui to assign us a different mission."
The Residual Spirit of the Immortal Venerable was already excessively weakened.
This was all due to her slow martial arts progress; even when Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable needed rest, she had to burden him once again.
"It’s merely an Eighth Realm Emperor Rank opponent; no need to fuss." Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable chuckled softly, "Little Yan, you may not understand fully—encountering this New God at this precise moment is an opportunity of immense fortune. I still have matters to request of them, but to do so, we must demonstrate sufficient value."
Without further ado, he took control of Shi Yan’s body and gazed at the Tiantai Building less than a hundred meters ahead.
With just one stride, Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable brought her to the top floor of the Tiantai Building.
"Boom!"
The skyscraper’s protective force field shield and 60 cm-thick bulletproof glass shattered violently.
Inside the top-floor office, a middle-aged man sat shocked and outraged.
"Who are you——?"
Before he could react, Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s incomprehensible, transcendent sword beam had already pierced through his brow.
Lian Yi’an, the chairman of Tiantai Security Group, stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend.
He hadn’t even seen the trajectory of the sword, nor could he understand how the opponent bypassed the overwhelming Fist Gang he’d unleashed.
Yet this became Lian Yi’an’s final thought; his Primordial Spirit disintegrated shortly after, his body and soul reduced to dust.
At that very moment, the building’s entire electrical grid and all backup power systems inexplicably exploded into chaos.
Inside the structure, 3,123 sleeping cabins and two ultra-large Quantum Divine Machines initially lost power, followed by complete fragmentation and destruction.
Under Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s omnipotent ’Immortal’ Concept, this heavily guarded skyscraper fell silent in mere moments.
Three fleeing Ninth Realm Super Kings within the building were also abruptly silenced with muffled groans.
Each bore an indelible sword mark on their brows, their lives extinguished without a sound.
※※※※
Meanwhile, 300 kilometers away, the headquarters of the Star Port Customs Bureau in Ninth Base City.
Lin Yi was talking with Lin Rui: "Shi Yan has started her operation? Brother, then I’ll begin here too."
"——I know, I’ll be careful, especially since Xianyu Yan and Wang Tianwu are watching out for me. Alright, I’m hanging up now."
Lin Yi thought her brother could be annoyingly wordy at times, just as irritating as her sister Lin Xi.
But it’s just a customs bureau head and a naval commander—not exactly opponents with notably high cultivation levels.
A Balance Seal began to manifest on Lin Yi’s brow before she extended her hand.
"Law: All communications in this area are prohibited!"
"Law: Within a 30-kilometer radius from Lin Yi, all hostile individuals will experience maximum True Yuan weakening."
"Law: Within a 30-kilometer radius from Lin Yi, Lin Yi’s strength, speed, and perception will be augmented to their limits!"
"Law: Within a 30-kilometer radius from Lin Yi, Lin Yi becomes untraceable, undetectable, and unmemorable!"
As Lin Yi’s voice resonated, an immense wave of Conceptual Power enveloped the customs bureau and its surroundings.
By the time she enacted the third Law, Lin Yi’s grasp of Conceptual Power had already begun to strain.
But Conceptual Laws were not the entirety of her arsenal—
A whip-shaped Divine Emblem belonging to the Pain Goddess appeared on Lin Yi’s neck.
Through the fourth Law and third Law’s force, she forced her dominance over the 30-kilometer range.
Lin Yi then drew two heavily modified 8SS+ ’Desperate’ dual blades, her expression calm as she stepped inside the bustling customs office.
Her sister had told her that she used to excel in assassination and was one of the most skilled killers, adept with firearms and sniping.
Lin Yi’s inherited memories confirmed some knowledge of firearms, sniping techniques, and even deeply ingrained physical recall.
Yet upon awakening in her current form, she instinctively rejected those weapons, reviling everything about her past self, refusing to associate with it.
Meanwhile, in the customs director’s office, Benedict Barnes—the current Head of Ninth Base City’s Customs—had already donned his exoskeleton armor and summoned his Battle Dragon.
This Eighth Realm Super Emperor Rank Armored Martial Cultivator stood with a grave sense of preparedness.
"——Is this... Concept Law?"
But who could possibly wield such powerful Conceptual Power? To invoke four layered Laws at a 65% strength level, covering a 30-kilometer radius!
Benedict Barnes felt panic and despair creeping into his mind, his survival instincts screaming for escape.
Anyone capable of channeling 65% Conceptual Power is potentially on Immortal Level—or horrifically close to it!
He knew unequivocally that he stood no chance.
Nevertheless, Benedict Barnes was also acutely aware of one stark truth: the customs bureau was the area’s most fortified site, equipped with top-tier detection infrastructure and impregnable layers of firepower and security.
If he couldn’t survive here, he’d be doomed no matter where he fled.
As anxiety wracked him, the door to his office creaked open.
"Are you Benedict Barnes?"
The voice was smooth and melodious, yet Benedict Barnes reacted as though he’d heard the devil speak.
Whipping around to face the entryway, his eyes found... nothing.
What was worse, Barnes not only saw nothing; his spiritual senses, his spatial awareness, his perception—all of it was void. The area around him was utterly barren.
The dread built within Benedict Barnes. His survival instincts took over, urging him to flee, to make his final gambit.
Suddenly, he felt an intense pain at his neck.
Reaching for his throat, Barnes looked down in disbelief as his vision faded. His head slipped from his shoulders a moment later.
