The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Faced with the combined attack of two professionals of similar strength, the one-armed old man's black mist grew even thicker, as he skillfully dealt with the two opponents.

Meanwhile, the one-armed old man was controlling his weapon, a short knife, and aimed it at the people from the Special Affairs Bureau.

The first to be fatally wounded were the five members of the Special Bureau's security force guarding the cages.

After they were killed, the contents of their backpacks exploded and were scattered all over the ground.

Using the numerous shadows left at the scene, the one-armed old man quickly moved over to investigate.

"There is no key."

The old man didn't even glance at them, continuing to slaughter the other members of the Special Bureau.

The real bandits, who had been taking a break in the chaos, rushed forward as soon as the old man left, and looted all the items dropped by the slain man.

The fake bandits also wanted to rob it, but they had opponents with them and couldn't easily escape.

"It seems the old man only wants the key and the Dark Relic; he won't take anything else. I'm so upset!"

"Follow him, and we can make a fortune this time!"

"The people from the Special Affairs Bureau are quite wealthy; the things in their backpacks are quite valuable!"

"What official isn't corrupt!"

The one-armed old man fought alongside two third-level experts while simultaneously engaging in slaughter.

Indeed, he is an assassin-type professional. His area-of-effect damage is not good, but his single-target damage is definitely enough. Anyone who gets targeted by him can only withstand two skills at most.

More and more people from the Special Bureau are dying at his hands.

As a result, morale among the troops plummeted, and some soldiers even smashed their reels and fled.

"They didn't mention any experts of this caliber when we set out on this mission! Aren't we just sending them to their deaths?!"

"What minister, what deputy minister? He always brags like he's the best. We're about the same rank, two of us couldn't beat one of him. What a waste!"

"I quit! I'm not doing this anymore!"

Gradually, the fake bandits, now free from obstacles, circled the cage of the mutated beast.

They even began building defensive fortifications.

On the periphery, Wang Miao looked worried.

"The situation is dire. This unidentified old man's combat capability is far superior to that of Minister Yu and Deputy Minister Peng. The two ministers simply cannot handle him. If this continues, we will all perish here!"

Beside Wang Miao, team member Xiao Chen said, "Team leader, let's hurry up and move the key. It'll be bad no matter who opens the cage!"

"I want to stay and help. This old man has a dark artifact; we have to capture him. My professional skills can come in handy... Xiaoling, Xiaochen, you two take the key and use the teleportation scroll to go straight back to the station!"

There were two keys; Xiaoling and Xiaochen, who were in Wang Miao's group, each had one in their backpacks.

Just as Wang Miao was about to go and support Minister Yu, Xiao Ling suddenly activated a "trap mine" skill, blasting the unsuspecting Wang Miao and Xiao Chen away.

Immediately afterwards, she activated the "Hunter Pursuit" skill, which greatly increased her movement speed, and she ran into the chaotic crowd.

"Quick! Get the key! Go open the cage now! Just open the cage!!"

Wang Miao lay on the ground, watching Xiao Ling throw the key to the bandits.

"Xiaoling, why??"

Xiaoling turned her head and sneered.

"I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent."

Xiaoling assumed that the bandits present were all arranged by the Zhao family, a team cobbled together from various shady organizations.

Little did they know, one-sixth of them were genuine bandits.

And this long key, which looked like jade, just happened to fall into the hands of a real bandit who was loafing around on the periphery of the battlefield, like a spectator.

She won with a one in six chance.

Girls who smile a lot are definitely lucky.

"Clatter..."

This guy is even eating sunflower seeds.

The key smashed his sunflower seeds all over the ground.

"Who the hell littered like that! Don't they have any manners?! These are the sunflower seeds I just bought! Pay me back!"

Brother Guazi picked up the key and looked at it.

"What is it?"

At this moment, all eyes were on him: the surviving elites of the Special Bureau, Minister Yu, Deputy Minister Peng, the old man in the trench coat, the fake bandit, and Wang Miao.

Fake bandit: "Throw the keys over here!"

Wang Miao: "Quickly, take the key back!"

Minister Yu: "We absolutely cannot let them open the cages!"

Old man in trench coat: "Hahaha! The key is mine!"

Real Bandit: "Holy crap! Eight of Bamboo, you've done a great job! What incredible luck!"

At this moment, Song Gua is in a state of high concentration.

In order to understand the battlefield situation as quickly as possible.

He has synchronized his memories with all the clones present.

This is an extremely tiring task.

But given the current chaotic situation, he had to do it.

So when the key accidentally fell into Brother Guazi's hands, Song Gua immediately activated his position-swapping ability.

The guy who sells melon seeds has been replaced.

But the key will not be changed.

The person holding the key changed from "Guazi Ge" to "Song Gua".

Without saying a word, Song Gua immediately put the key into his backpack and then switched places again.

Just then, the old man in the trench coat attacked with his short knife.

"Old man! The key is here!!"

The Song hexagram, now in a different position, raises the key high.

The old man in the trench coat stared intently, though he couldn't understand why the key had teleported into the hands of another fake bandit.

But now is clearly not the time to think about that.

His attack immediately changed direction, and the short sword flew towards Song Gua.

Along the way, they even pierced through several fake bandits and people from the Special Bureau, demonstrating astonishing destructive power!

The bandits who had just been exchanged were already prepared to self-destruct.

The level 64 one-armed old man's short sword strikes are all deadly; being hit by one is almost certain death, so it's better to just self-destruct and unleash your power.

Because of Song Gua's wit, he escaped a calamity and did not self-destruct.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Next, a bizarre "pass" took place on the battlefield.

The "ball" is the key to open the mutant beast's cage.

The way it was "transmitted" was incomprehensible to everyone.

"Haha! Old man! The key's right here!"

"Here! Here! Are you getting old and your eyesight is failing?"

"Oh dear! You've got it wrong again! I'm here! Right here!"

In the crowd, one moment someone would jump up and say "eight stripes," the next "seventy thousand" would appear.

The keys seem to move around in these people's hands in a flash, leaving everyone baffled.

"Ah!!! How dare you, you brat, mock this old man!!"

The one-armed old man was enraged and decisively activated a legendary skill.

The old hand, now only one, swept forcefully in front of him.

The short sword that was flying around suddenly split into hundreds of identical short swords.

"Ultimate Kill - Thousand Annihilation! I'll slaughter you all!!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Hundreds of short swords lined up and rose into the air, like a slender metal python. After circling once in the air, they slashed down with terrifying speed, even drawing sparks of electricity in the air.

"Pfft pfft pfft!!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

Wherever the giant metal python passed, everything and everyone was easily shredded, pierced, and cut, just like paper.

This skill can be said to be the old man's only area-of-effect damage skill.

Moreover, the duration is long.

However, there is a drawback: while the skill is active, agility will be halved, and the killing array composed of short swords requires the old man to devote his energy to controlling it.

Keep in mind that he also had two third-tier experts from the Special Bureau by his side.

Minister Yu and Minister Peng seized the opportunity and launched a barrage of attacks at the old man.

"ah!!"

The old man had underestimated his opponent somewhat, and it was too late for him to recall the "Sure Kill - Thousand Annihilation" technique he had used to annihilate the bandits.

One of his necklaces exploded, saving him from a fatal blow.

Despite this, the old man was still sent flying hundreds of meters away by the combined efforts of the two men, crashing heavily to the ground.

The old man fell down next to a bandit.

“Eh…”

This bandit was quite decisive.

"A great opportunity!"

He lunged at the old man and immediately self-destructed.
