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

Turning the gaze to a certain spot in the square, there were at least a hundred bandits, protecting one of them, who was wearing a hood with ninety thousand heads on his head.

At close range, each of the nine bandits held a secret treasure.

The functions of these four treasures are to isolate detection, obscure vision, block sound, and counter stealth.

There was a formation beneath Jiuwan's feet, a very small barrier formation, only two or three body lengths wide, ensuring that outsiders could not get close to him.

Such heavy protection was because Jiuwan was holding a black balance scale, gesturing wildly, like a shaman performing a ritual.

The bandits, possessing a dark artifact, certainly couldn't be discovered.

The bandits around 90,000 were like dumpling wrappers, enclosing him completely. If anyone tried to force their way in, he could self-destruct to repel the invading enemy.

As for what was going on with so many bandits piled up on the sidelines while the bandit leaders and cadres were besieging Shi Yang, no one cared.

That's the impression bandits give people—they always seem to be doing performance art.

"Integration"

"Integration"

"Integration"

Each time Jiuwan chanted, two black streaks flew out from the scales and headed towards the bandit army.

These black ribbons, mixed in with the black tentacles that filled the arena, were difficult to distinguish.

The power of the scales brought the bandits together in pairs.

Those twenty-odd bandits with superhuman combat power and bizarre skills were actually fusion bandits.

After the operation was completed, Song Gua swapped his location with the headquarters to rest, so as to prevent the Dark Artifact from being exposed.

The combined bandits' combat power has increased dramatically, which is one thing.

While they were fighting, they started clamoring to use the Heavenly Phenomena and Earthly Symbols card.

The key point is that they actually each took out one!

"You old scoundrel Shi Yang! Let me show you our true power!"

"Vadashiva Turn! Activate, Celestial and Earthly Law, the Returning Templar Knights!"

"Don't underestimate our bond!!"

"Go! April!!"

"Kill the pet first!!"

Shi Yang and his group didn't know what was going on. The bandits shouted things like "bonds," "friendship," and "Aibo," and huge phantom images of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth rose up behind them as they charged forward.

The 23 bodyguards of Shi Yang's security team, including seven who joined later and were at the peak of the second stage, were all killed in a single encounter and logged off on the spot.

The remaining 16 are in a tough battle for third-tier advancement.

Some of them summoned their pets to help them in battle, but they were then targeted by the bandits, who relentlessly pursued them until they met their demise.

Once a pet dies, the bonuses it provides to the player will also disappear.

This directly led to a shift in power, with the three groups gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

Shi Yang was horrified when he saw this.

"Use the roller! Use the roller! Use the card! Use the card!"

The bodyguard had some good stuff on him.

It just doesn't belong to the bodyguard himself.

It was given to them by Shi Yang to protect himself, and they were not allowed to use it without Shi Yang's permission.

After all, these top-tier combat resources are very expensive—and their source is, of course, the Shi family.

The remaining three bodyguards took out legendary scrolls and various kinds of Heaven and Earth cards from their backpacks.

Just as they were about to launch their attack.

Q's tentacles touched their ankles.

Before the group could react, Song Gua made his move swiftly.

A handful of hair was pulled out.

"You monkeys and their offspring!"

A group of little monkeys jumped out and nimbly landed on the heads of all the bodyguards.

"Secret Technique: Heart-Sealing and Throat-Locking Finger!"

All the little monkeys imitated Song Gua's skill, touching the bodyguards with their furry fingers.

After Monkey King's second job advancement, his monkey hair summons can mimic his skills.

After Song Gua borrowed power, the monkey-haired summoned creatures could imitate not only the skills of the Monkey King, but also all the skills borrowed by Song Gua!

The third-tier bodyguards ignored the little monkeys' attacks and focused on activating scrolls or the Heaven and Earth cards.

"You trash summoned creature, trying to freeze me in place?"

Being immobilized.

This unscientific!

I am a third-tier expert. My resistance to sealing is so high that summoned creatures can't hold me in place.

The mist in front of the bodyguards suddenly began to surge, transforming into countless hands that gracefully took the cards and scrolls from the group's hands with delicate, orchid-like fingers.

Shi Yang and his bodyguards: "???"

What kind of operation is this?

Was I taken advantage of for free?

Song Gua remained calm in the air.

Nowadays, when bandits act collectively, especially if Song Gua also joins the fight, they are no longer someone that an ordinary third-tier professional can withstand!

"Catch Shi Yang!"

While the bodyguards were all frozen in place.

The "Mother Builder," a fusion of Brother Entanglement and Qiu (Thunder Builder), lashed out at the ground with a whip-like weapon.

One after another, defensive towers rose from the ground, completely surrounding Shi Yang.

The defensive towers were not firing lightning or attack beams, but rather thorny vines.

The vines moved towards Shi Yang and encircled him.

Shi Yang collapsed to the ground, looking at the scene around him, and was so frightened that he wet himself.

Although he was over level 40, he hadn't fought in a long time and probably didn't even remember some of the skill effects, so he had no chance of fighting back.

The builder's attack failed, and a deep male voice suddenly sounded beside Shi Yang.

"Ultimate Move: Spirit Rhinoceros Wave Finger!"

Centered on Shi Yang, spatial ripples spread outwards, shattering all the encircling vines.

A massive celestial and terrestrial light and shadow rose up behind Shi Yang.

This was not Shi Yang's doing.

Instead, he remained hidden beside Shi Yang, the squad leader of the security team, without making a move.

As soon as he made his move, the invisibility effect was naturally removed, revealing his figure.

This person's combat power is much stronger than that of an ordinary third-tier professional.

The key was that he successfully activated the Heavenly Phenomenon Card.

A third-tier professional using the Celestial and Earthly Law Card possesses significantly greater individual combat power than the fused clones present on the scene.

This is a tough nut to crack.

Moreover, he was cunning enough not to summon his pets or his mount.

To avoid being wiped out by the numerically superior bandits, which would only weaken their own fighting strength.

"The Tranquility Mantra!"

The squad leader formed a hand seal, and a pale blue halo emanated from him, freeing the frozen bodyguards.

The security squad leader said calmly.

"Cut off the tentacles binding your feet; those things will make your resistance disappear!"

Without saying a word, everyone casually severed Q's tentacles.

Q's level is the same as Song Gua's, not high, so even a third-tier professional's basic attack can't withstand its tentacles.

"Bandits, you are doomed to fail today. The enforcement team and the special bureau's experts will be here soon. The Shi family has also received my notification. None of you will escape!"

Did the Shi family receive the notification?

Mingming activated the electronic device jammer.

Song Gua speculated that they had other means of communication, such as using props brought out from some kind of illusion.

Song Gua remained calm and composed.

"attack!"

The two sides went to war again.

The bizarre fusion skills clashed with the powerful third-tier skills, and the aftershocks of the battle spread out from the fog created by Mist Bro.
