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

Unfortunately, the old man reacted quickly and reverted his self-destruct skill, causing the self-destruction to fail and enter cooldown.

"Self-destruct?? You are...?"

The old man was beaten so badly by the two ministers that he was in excruciating pain all over his body, and it seemed that several of his bones were broken.

But he remained calm.

However, the old man never expected that there was a real bandit next to him!

You can't blame him for that.

Real bandits and fake bandits were mixed together, all wearing hoods and Taoist robes, making it dazzling to look at. Their vital signs were all normal, so who could tell the real from the fake?

In a sense, Zhao Wuji intended to trick the bandits, but ended up helping them instead.

"Smack."

The second bandit who bravely sacrificed his life hugged the old man's leg, grinned at him, and began to emit heat from his body.

"Let's ascend to heaven together!"

As the Invisible Guy mentioned, the old man's ability to revert skills has a cooldown period.

This is something the Invisible Guy proved with his life.

Although we don't know how long it will take.

However, the two bandits exploded almost one after the other, with a very short time difference.

The second bandit successfully self-destructed.

The number one bandit was caught in the blast and instantly vaporized.

"boom!!"

A loud bang silenced both the fake bandits and the Special Bureau members who were engaged in a chaotic battle.

The shockwave swept in all directions, throwing everyone away and scattering them in all directions.

A mushroom cloud of white smoke and flames rose into the sky.

Song Gua and his clones stumbled and scrambled to their feet.

Looking towards the epicenter of the explosion.

Before the smoke cleared, a disheveled sound rang out.

"Bloodtide Raven!"

The old man summoned his mount.

The raven carried the old man on its back and flew into the sky.

Song Gua frowned slightly.

He's still alive.

However, Song Gua's brows quickly relaxed.

From a distance, you can see that the old man's right leg is missing.

Now, he perfectly demonstrated what it means to be missing an arm or a leg.

It seems more satisfying than killing him.

The impact of the explosion was quickly mitigated.

Instead of chasing the old man, Yu and Peng led their men to retrieve the cage of the mutated beast.

"Quick! Retrieve the key and the cage! If we win this battle, everyone who stays until the end will be promoted three levels!"

The cage was also blown away by the shockwave, but it was still surrounded by the fake bandits.

"Hey bro! Come quick and open the cage!"

A group of fake bandits came forward to help Song Gua hold off the Special Bureau members who were pursuing him.

"Thank you!"

"Open the cage quickly! Our chances of getting the final payment depend entirely on you!"

"Okay!"

The fake bandits fought desperately to resist the Special Bureau's siege.

Fortunately, there weren't many people left in the Special Affairs Bureau, and the two third-level cultivators couldn't get over; they were blocked by the old man in the trench coat.

Yes, although he lost a leg, the old man is still in C!

The old man didn't really know why the two groups were fighting.

He came over as soon as he detected the fluctuations of the mutant beast.

He had just thought the bandits were playing a trick on him by passing the key around.

While this factor certainly plays a part, the Song hexagram is actually constantly approaching the cage.

At this moment, the old man understood.

Even the bandits wanted to open the cage.

Let them drive it then!

Once they open the cage and release the mutant beasts, I'll go and steal them!

To get Song Gua to open the cage, the old man, despite his serious injuries, helped him hold off two third-level experts.

Even when he was flying in mid-air, the old man could still control the short sword to attack from a distance.

"At home, you rely on your parents; when you're out in the world, you rely on your friends. Thank you everyone!"

With the help of so many kind people.

Song Gua successfully opened the cage of the mutant beast.

At the same time, another third-tier professional arrived at the teleportation array behind Wang Miao.

He is not a member of the Special Affairs Bureau.

He is an acquaintance, well-known in the area.

The director of the Special Affairs Bureau is of average combat ability, but he is a person with strong administrative skills.

Although the Yunshan City Special Bureau is a branch of a third-tier city, it has more than two professionals who have completed the third stage of professional transformation.

The other three are away on business trips today.

Fortunately, the bureau chief has a wide network of connections.

Realizing the situation was dire, he went to ask his fellow Daoist for help.

"Hahaha! Let me see what kind of expert this is! Yunshan City actually has a professional training program, even better than those corrupt officials from the Special Aspects Bureau?"

Before the famous figure emerged from the teleportation beam, he first ridiculed Yu and Peng.

When the famous figure stepped out of the teleportation pillar, his legs went weak, and he almost turned back the way he came.

He saw the Dark Archmage Thorne!

"What the hell are you guys at the Special Affairs Bureau doing?"

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't the real Thorne, but rather the Dharma of Heaven and Earth!

The person who used this card was a bandit wearing a 50,000 hood.

—Song Gua's body has been changing clothes and equipment among the bandits, and it's no longer the same as the dice set.

The saying "the Way has a name" makes sense upon reflection.

Thorne was defeated by the bandits, so his Heavenly and Earthly Law Card naturally ended up in their hands.

"How did bandits get into a fight with the Special Affairs Bureau? Are these people from the legitimate or criminal worlds? Why are they switching sides like this..."

The mutant beast has been released.

What Song Gua needs to do now is to extract the beast core from the living animal as quickly as possible!

First of all, he had already borrowed the power of 15 clones in advance, and stacked each of his attributes to over four thousand!

—After emerging from the illusion, not only did the number of clones increase by 200, but the number of people whose Unity Power could be borrowed at the same time also increased by 5. However, the information panel still shows 10 (base 5 + level/5).

Based on these four dimensions, if he activates Thorne's Heaven and Earth Card, his combat power will be further expanded!

With just a simple skill, you can easily pierce through the mutant beast.

Take out the beast core and put it into your backpack.

Switch positions and leave the battlefield.

Then quickly give the beast core to Dark Balance to absorb.

That means the mission is accomplished.

However, the old man in the trench coat saw through Song Gua's intentions.

Unfortunately, he was severely injured and unable to bear it any longer. He was still in mid-air and was being held back by Yu and Peng.

So he roared and summoned his pet.

"Take back the mutant beasts!"

The ground shook violently, and Song Gua lost his footing.

"Bang!!"

After a loud bang, a giant centipede, hundreds of meters long, rushed out from beside him, opening its enormous mouthparts to swallow Song Gua whole.

Song Gua instinctively retaliated, punching the thing in the abdomen.

This is a basic attack.

But it really hurts!

This big guy's health bar dropped significantly on the spot!

However, it did not die suddenly. Its huge body twisted around Song Gua, binding him in the sticky mucus on its body surface.

Switch places!

Song Gua switched places with a bandit next to him and escaped on the spot.

Instead of continuing the fight, he pounced on the mutated beast whose eyelids had twitched and punched it on the head.

Even though the mutant beast's defense was terrifying, it couldn't withstand the power of Song Gua's punch in this state.

He was shot in the head on the spot!

"Found it!"

Song Gua immediately noticed something shiny in the guy's head.

Actually, it wasn't like the scene I imagined, where brains would explode and red and white things would fly everywhere.

After the mutant beast had a wild idea, it found that inside was a bunch of orderly arranged polygonal objects, neither solid nor liquid, but seemingly some kind of gel.

At first glance, it looks like a beehive has been stuffed inside its head.
