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

Dongfeng was overjoyed upon receiving the order.

Re-cultivate skills.

At the same time, the black mist began to reveal its true form.

The old man in the trench coat's face turned eerie and sinister, covered with black lines, and emerged from the top of the mist.

His entire body was shrouded in black mist, like a human head growing out of a giant black exercise ball.

"Oh~ the great Dark Emperor, I can finally come out and move around."

Hehe, the most powerful force is letting me reside in your body, isn't it?

Oh, what a tattered body, old and faded, just like Uncle Mike's wife next door, absolutely awful.

This guy is talking to himself in a weird, translator's tone.

When his gaze swept over Jiuwan, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said to Jiuwan.

"Oh~ Libra, you're here. So, this human with such a heroic air is the host you've chosen? Oh~ I swear, you really have good taste, you always have."

Jiuwan pointed to himself, somewhat flattered.

"Me? Me? I didn't expect that even with a hood on, you could still see my charisma, ha, ha, ha..."

But soon, the eerie old man seemed to realize that something was wrong.

"Oh, Libra, what's wrong with you? Where has your spirit gone? You're like a deep, dark ocean, giving me no feedback. Has your flame been extinguished?"

spirit?

Does it refer to the evil spirit residing in the scales?

It's inside the Soul-Devouring Pearl!

The Soul-Devouring Pearl was not on the highway battlefield at the moment, but on Song Gua at headquarters, so the pocket watch naturally could not get any feedback.

"This guy knows about the scales, yet he acts all high and mighty. Could the balance of the scales have no effect on him?"

They're all dark artifacts; they might not actually work.

Inside the Soul-Devouring Pearl at this moment.

The evil spirit of the scales roared and howled.

"I'm here!! Get me out of here!! Kill this damn human!! Help!!"

Curious Guy kicked him from the side.

"What are you yelling about? Can't you be quiet for a moment?"

"You bastard! How dare you kick me?!"

"You better think this through. If I die, you won't be able to contact the outside world."

"you……"

"You son of a bitch, how come you can still hear sounds from the other side of the highway while you're inside the Soul-Devouring Pearl?"

"Isn't the Dark Balance right there? I am the spirit of the Dark Balance! I and the Balance are essentially one! Do you understand?"

Curious Guy took the head off, scratched it, and then put it back.

"don't know."

"Foolish humans!"

The eerie old man called out a few more times, but received no response, and looked puzzled.

"Fine, I'll kill you ants first. Oh, I'm such a trustworthy master. I will definitely fulfill my host's wish, just like the dog next door, always faithfully waiting for its owner to come home."

The sinister old man slowly raised one hand, and the black mist around his body began to tremble and condense, also taking the shape of a hand.

At the scene, Huozi Ge (a nickname) was seen breathing fire with both hands, leading the charge.

"Brothers, don't be afraid! Get close! Create opportunities for the old thief!!"

After Huozi finished speaking, he realized that it seemed that apart from him, no one else who could fly was present.

"Damn it! So be it! Great Flame Calamity!!"

At the same time, Jiuwan took out the balance scale, aimed the Eye of Horus on it at the head of the evil old man, and prepared to use his soul power to activate the power of balance.

The eerie old man was floating in mid-air, like a large black balloon.

Fire Brother was engulfed in flames, like a phoenix spreading its wings, and charged toward the evil old man with unstoppable momentum.

The Thorne ultimate move that Song Gua just used did not have the power of unity, because the power of unity had expired.

Now, the power of unity has cooled down.

Even though he can't use his ultimate skill anymore, Thorne still has plenty of abilities, including other forbidden spells.

That's why Song Gua thought of continuing to fight the old man. He had to try and see if he could defeat the old man with all his might.

"Fire Bro, Blood Bro, Monkey Bro, Ghost Bro, Cannon Bro, South Wind..."

Song Gua summoned his fifteen most powerful clones, requesting to borrow their strength.

There's a small problem with Brother Pao.

"You bastard! I haven't even used my skill yet!"

"It doesn't matter anymore!"

"I'm pretty..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was already weak.

Song Gua had just finished borrowing the card when he switched places with Huo Zi Ge in the next instant.

Song Gua believes that releasing Thorne's ultimate skill at this distance would not result in a missed attack.

"Nine thousand, make your move!!"

Just as Jiuwan was about to use the Dark Balance, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in the distance.

"what?"

Are there more experts?

Both sides paused in their movements.

"Aurora illusion!"

A dazzling display of colors, like an aurora borealis with its exposure magnified hundreds of times, suddenly burst forth from a point in the distant sky, enveloping the entire highway battlefield.

Song Gua and his clones felt their vision was somewhat blurred by the light pollution.

But I could still barely make out the surrounding scenery.

A figure flew over.

Judging by her figure, she's a woman.

She carried a pair of mechanical wings on her back, wore a butterfly-shaped metal mecha mask on her face, and was dressed in a tight-fitting blue battle suit that looked like it was made of plastic.

The white stripes all over her body were glowing, outlining her beautiful figure.

The clones exclaimed in unison, "Iron Woman?"

The Song divination group's vision was barely affected, but the aurora seemed to have a significant impact on the eerie old man.

"Ah!! My eyes! Oh~ Great Dark Lord! Tell me who is shining!!"

The black mist trembled incessantly, seemingly terrified of the light.

"cut!"

Iron Woman wields a double-edged longsword, shaped much like Flame Blade from Flame Dragon Warrior.

She flew swiftly, sweeping her blade horizontally. The blade's light was sharp, like a bright moon in the sky, piercing through the black mist with a single strike.

At the critical moment, the sinister old man unleashed a skill to resist.

So this supposedly fatal blow only severed his remaining arm.

"ah!!!"

The old man screamed in agony.

This guy now only has one leg left.

"Oh~ Dark Emperor above! I swear, this body is truly unusable, what a terrible day!"

The aurora illusion doesn't last long; it disappears once the strike is finished.

A familiar voice came from "Iron Woman".

"Dark Pocket Watch, obediently hand over yourself, or I'll make you disappear from the atomic level!"

Sure enough it was her.

Miss Butterfly.

Her outfit this time was much cooler than her previous two appearances.

Especially the flight device on her back, which doesn't seem to have any power source, yet it allows her to hover in mid-air.

Although there are nozzles at the bottom of the wings, they only occasionally emit some white gas to adjust the flight attitude, and do not seem to provide the power to lift the aircraft.

The knife in her hand was also strange.

When I checked the Song hexagram using the information viewing function, no panel popped up.

This means that this thing is not equipment used by professionals; it's man-made!
