Chapter 144 Severing Karma
"die!!!"

As for Zhong Qin, let's leave that aside for now.

Only look at the seriousness.

As a corrupted practitioner of the evil god cult, his mental state was already unstable. The murder of his wife further aggravated him, and he has now gone completely insane. Every move he makes is a desperate act, even if it means mutual destruction, he will avenge his wife's death.

After a fierce battle, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed his ultimate killing move.

"The Path of the Evil Dragon!"

He leaped into the air, transforming into a blood-red evil dragon. Three layers of blood bell-shaped energy shields around his body moved with him, like a swirling storm. The venomous dragon, like an electric drill, charged towards Shen He with astonishing power.

Seeing this, Shen He acted decisively, raising a knife in his right hand and slashing out.

What kind of cut was that?

The dragon's head forms the handle, and the blade's wide mouth exudes domineering power. The hooked back and iron spine further highlight its ferocity. Its entire body is golden-red, as red as the blazing sun. Its majestic appearance and awe-inspiring holy aura make even demons tremble with fear.

……

Shen He wielded his sword, flipped over and slashed, instantly unleashing a dragon-like aura from the blade, its majestic power shattering demons and severing karma.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the blade's energy slashed through, shattering the shadow of the evil dragon, yet not a drop of blood was shed.

Only one figure fell from the sky, and upon landing, it split into two pieces, each split in two.

Solemnly—Die!

Despite being a heretical practitioner with the Bodhidharma Divine Skill, having cultivated it to the fifth or sixth level, he still could not withstand the overwhelming force of this blade, its edge capable of severing karma and destroying demons.

The battle, which was just moments ago fraught with danger, has been settled in the blink of an eye!

Shen He sheathed his sword and looked at Zhong Qin: "It's over."

"..."

Zhong Qin remained silent for a moment, then lowered her head and cancelled her request for help.

Meanwhile, several special forces members also brought the situation under control, arresting all of Zheng Zhong's close disciples, and calling in the logistics team to clean up the battlefield and tidy up the situation.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, demonstrating great skill.

Zhong Qin also came to Shen He's side, looking at him strangely, but finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "What kind of profession did you advance to?"

Shen He smiled and, without hiding anything, directly sent her the professional information of the Holy Walker.

"Holy Walker?"

"Killing to sever karma?"

"Is the practice of the sacred act without regret?"

Upon seeing the job information sent by Shen He, Zhong Qin was initially taken aback, but then she understood.

"That's it, that's it!"

"So that's why I was wondering how a fourth-tier heretical cultivator with the Twelve Heavenly Barriers Golden Bell Shield, which is at the fifth or sixth level, couldn't even withstand a single strike from you!"

After saying that, he looked at Shen He excitedly: "Your profession is a natural counter to evil god sects and evil practitioners. If you report it, you will definitely receive special training, and becoming a high-ranking member of the Special Bureau in the future will be no problem at all."

Killing is the severing of karma; this holy act is without regret!

A month ago, after officially joining the Special Bureau, Shen He began a grand journey of leveling up, using the Special Bureau's information channels to vigorously eliminate the evil god cultists in the middle and lower city areas.

Helping the weak and punishing the strong is the main way for a madman to gain experience, and these cultists of evil gods perfectly fit this requirement. Eliminating them can yield a large amount of experience.

Therefore, Shen He not only rapidly advanced to become a Saint Walker within a month, but also spent his merits to have a fourth-tier dragon-head heavy sword customized at the Special Bureau's Armed Forces Department. He also used his extra professional experience to refine the Saint Walker's exclusive weapon, "Slaying Karma."

This is also why he was able to instantly kill Zheng Zhong.

Zheng Zhong, this unorthodox professional, is not particularly strong. With only the cultivation of the fourth level of martial arts, the True Yuan Realm, Shen He could easily beat him.

However, he cultivated the Twelve Heavenly Barriers Golden Bell Shield of the Bodhidharma Martial Academy, and with the support of the Evil God Sect, he transformed into a related evil profession. With his fourth-level body and the power of martial arts true essence, he could break through the evil Golden Bell Shield of the fifth or even sixth level.

This is his greatest strength, and the reason he can rival Shen He.

An ordinary professional would need at least a fifth-level cultivation to break through his evil Golden Bell Shield, which has five or six levels of barriers.

But Shen He is not an ordinary professional.

Killing is the severing of karma; this holy act is without regret!

The Saint Walker profession is something he accumulated over a lifetime in the Martial Dynasty, a profession he obtained by transforming a world. Its quality and strength are astonishing. At the third tier, it involves high-level world forces such as the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Its two talents, "Severing Karma by Killing" and "Unwavering Holy Conduct," aside from the ability to perceive sin, all enhance its own righteous power and have a destructive effect on evil sins.

With the addition of the "Slay Karma" weapon, which is exclusive to the profession, breaking through Zheng Zhong's evil magic shield is incredibly easy.

So, Zheng Zhong died, with a single blow.

……

Although Zhong Qin didn't know the intricacies of the situation, she could still see the power of the Holy Walker class.

Putting everything else aside, for a Tier 3 class to have exclusive items is already a remarkable achievement.

As a fourth-tier professional, Zhong Qin also possesses her own professional item: a martial arts manual created through "Xingyi Shenwu." However, this manual is not exclusive and its effects are not particularly powerful; it can only enhance one's mastery of Xingyi Quan and Xingyi Shenwu. Even so, this martial arts manual has brought Zhong Qin considerable profits, even enough to support her in establishing a high-level martial arts school, recruiting numerous apprentices, and accumulating substantial funds.

If ordinary job-specific items are already this powerful, one can only imagine how incredibly powerful exclusive job-specific items must be.

Exclusivity is a restriction, a restriction that other professionals cannot use, but it is also a symbol of power. One could even say that such a restriction exists because of power.

A profession that has its own set of exclusive items is bound to be a high-quality profession; this is a fact that is common knowledge among professionals.

A professional who has exclusive items at the third tier is a testament to both potential and strength, and would receive special training in any organization.

The same applies to the Special Bureau. The professional ability of the Holy Walker is simply a super weapon against the evil god cult. As long as the leaders of the Special Bureau are not out of their minds, they will definitely cultivate it vigorously.

If things go smoothly and one continues to advance in this direction, then reaching the upper echelons of the Special Affairs Bureau, or even the upper echelons of the Empire, will not be a problem in the future.

Zhong Qin was very happy for Shen He, who had advanced to this new profession. As his senior, friend, and also a clingy little sister, she was very happy for him.

But after the initial excitement came the worry: "Did you report this profession?"

Shen He nodded: "Of course it was reported."

He did not hide the information about the Holy Walker from Zhong Qin because he had long intended to reveal it.

In a world like this, if you don't demonstrate any value, why would anyone train you?

While one can gain career path through Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly, professional experience requires the individual to work hard in the real world.

Therefore, Shen He decided to reveal some of his value in order to gain the Special Bureau's training. He had been eyeing the secret techniques and various spiritual items in the merit exchange vault for a long time.

The Holy Walker's performance will allow him to obtain these things more quickly.

only……

"You have to be careful!"

Zhong Qin lowered her voice and even glanced around: "The evil god cult is everywhere. They even have their spies in the upper echelons of the empire. If your profession is reported, you may receive special training, but you may also be noticed by the evil god cult and put on their assassination list, just like the evil god attack on Tianbei No. 2 Middle School last time."

Shen He nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Danger?

There definitely will be.

But some things can't be accomplished without taking risks.

Don't assume that just because a genius was assassinated or died young, the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

Let's see how many unlucky souls didn't even have the chance to be assassinated, dying on the battlefield or in some unknown corner.

The mortality rate of geniuses and cannon fodder is absolutely unequal, and the human empire has not been corrupted to that extent.

If things really get to that point, then Yunlan Star will definitely be lost, and Shen He will eventually have to open the Gate of Myriad Realms and run away.

Since you're going to run anyway, why not take advantage of the situation before you do?

……

And so it went, that night, in the suburbs of Tianbei City.

A group of people gathered in a secluded place.

"The Special Affairs Bureau has eliminated several more of our outposts!"

"Should we reduce the frequency of our activities?"

"They further lowered the price of merit points, causing their subordinates to chase after us like mad dogs for the merit point rewards."

Several men dressed in black robes and wearing hoods spoke in the dim light.

Ahead, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, silently facing away from the crowd.

He was also dressed in black, but not in a hooded robe, revealing his face clearly to everyone. He was a handsome man who was almost bewitching.

"The operation cannot be halted!"

He calmly responded to the questions from the crowd, but his tone was one of absolute authority.

Upon hearing this, the group could only remain silent.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up: "Then can we retaliate appropriately? Recently, the Special Bureau recruited a new person who has swept through more than forty of our and other sects' strongholds in the past month and killed five divine descendants. He is a great threat!"

“I’ve investigated him.”

The young man remained calm: "His job must be a specialized one, otherwise it would be impossible for him to kill several fifth-tier divine descendants while only at the fourth rank. I had the secret agents within the Special Bureau investigate, and they found that his file has been classified as highly confidential."

"Top Secret?"

The group's eyes narrowed: "That must be a high-quality, rare profession, and it's so specifically targeted at us. If it grows up, it will be a huge threat to us."

"We must find a way to get rid of him!"

The group exchanged glances and reached a consensus.

The young man didn't say much: "I'll handle this. You all continue with the plan and make sure it goes smoothly no matter what!"

"Yes!"

"Go!"

The secret meeting has come to an end.

The group hurried away, leaving the young man gazing at the dark night sky filled with nebulae, muttering to himself, "Shen He...?"
