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

"What??"

On Song Gua's side, he was still busy switching positions to help his clone fight, while happily counting the reputation points that came in one by one.

Seeing that if the fight continued like this, he could get a set of top-tier gear from the reputation shop once the Abyss invasion ended, Song Gua was grinning from ear to ear.

Unexpectedly, devastating news broke.

Without hesitation, Song Gua and Chief Yi Tiao switched positions.

The chief was still in Yin-Yang Escape state when he was swapped with someone else, also in Yin-Yang Escape state.

So, the impression is that a bandit suddenly disappeared from the main city.

Professionals have all sorts of skills, so if they actually disappeared on the spot, it wouldn't be surprising, and nobody would care.

As soon as Song Gua switched places, he was knocked over by a five- or six-meter-tall abyssal creature.

The sixth wave of invasion has begun. Yue Sheng and the others are currently located within the coverage area of ​​the fifth and sixth waves, where there are an overwhelming number of abyssal creatures.

Song Gua got up and immediately activated the power of the second-tier unity, borrowing the power of 15 clones in one go.

With his basic attributes skyrocketing, Song Gua jumped to the location where Yue Sheng was at that moment.

"Major storm!!"

The early main force, the skill of the Rhythmic Mage's clone.

Song Gua used a skill to blow away all the abyssal creatures around Yue Sheng, Shen Feng, and the others.

There are many abyssal creatures, and this skill is only a temporary solution; they will soon pounce on you.

But it doesn't matter, the Song hexagram has a solution.

He took out some bottles and jars from his backpack. They were potion-type items made by Dong, a potion wizard and one of the logistics department cadres—Monster Perfume.

The effect is that after taking it, it changes one's aura, making monsters think they are one of their own, thus preventing them from attacking. This effect lasts for ten minutes.

The clones have already been tested in the main city, and they are effective against abyssal creatures as well.

However, if this potion is taken multiple times in one day, its duration will be reduced by half.

Therefore, we cannot expect this potion to change the course of the battle; it may only have a miraculous effect at crucial moments.

Currently surrounded by abyssal creatures, using monster-scented incense to buy some time is quite useful.

"Drink it quickly!"

When Song Gua approached Yue Sheng and the others with the magic potion, he was horrified to discover...

There appeared to be six people, but in reality, four of them were already cold, broken corpses.

Only Shen Feng and Yue Sheng were still clinging to life.

The two of them carried or tied the remains of the other four people to their bodies, seemingly to prevent them from being devoured by the creatures of the abyss.

Song Gua's lips were trembling.

"How did it get like this? Shouldn't you have gone to Guard City Number Three..."

Song Gua's words came to an abrupt end.

He knew he had spoken out of turn.

How did the bandits know where Yue Sheng was going?

When Yue Sheng left the main city on his Ziyuan, he didn't inform the bandits where he was going.

If it were known that the four of them knew, then it would be understandable.

But now Song Gua is wearing one head covering, not four.

Even if it's the fourth one, his behavior when Yue Sheng saved him and his behavior just now are clearly not the same person.

Yue Sheng looked at Song Gua, whose face was covered in blood, smiled slightly, and said wearily.

"I was supposed to retrieve the energy crystal in City Three, but the Shi family wouldn't open the city gates. Just then, the fifth wave arrived, and we had nowhere else to go but fight our way here..."

As they spoke, Song Gua fed the magic potion to Yue Sheng and Shen Feng.

It seemed that upon seeing Song Gua appear, the two of them relaxed, their life force rapidly draining away, leaving them without even the strength to hold the potion bottle.

Song Gua had no choice but to feed them himself.

Shen Feng collapsed to the ground as soon as he finished drinking the potion, with a pool of black blood beneath him.

With his last remaining strength, Yue Sheng rushed to Shen Feng's side.

"Shen Feng!"

Shen Feng, covered in wounds and pale-faced, had lost too much blood.

Even though he and Yue Sheng kept using high-quality health potions, as well as life-saving scrolls and skills, to keep their health bars from going out.

When a person is injured, their health bar will naturally decrease.

Even if they manage to keep their health bars, as living beings, their bodies are so badly injured that there's nothing they can do.

Yue Sheng picked up the dying Shen Feng.

Shen Feng grabbed Yue Sheng's damaged equipment and shook his head.

"Don't take me with you. I have no parents, it doesn't matter where I'm buried... Captain, you should escape... Bandit, please help the captain, he just saved one of your men, please..."

Song Gua nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get Yue Sheng to a safe place!"

Yue Sheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"You can leave now, bandit, but I can't escape."

Shen Feng, clinging to his last breath, said with difficulty.

"Don't give up, Captain! The bandits are resourceful; they'll definitely find a way to escape!"

Yue Sheng seemed to have made a decision, and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm an informant for the Celestials. The stab that killed Zi Yuan was originally aimed at me, and the stab that killed Chu Feng was also to silence him. He may not have any evidence, but he was determined to take this opportunity to make his move. Now that he has made his move, I have no chance of survival..."

Shen Feng looked astonished, incredulous, and even somewhat unable to accept it.

He died amidst this shock.

Yue Sheng smoothed his eyes, his gaze filled with helplessness and heartache.

"I'm sorry... I lied to you..."

At this moment, Song Gua was equally shocked.

Who would have thought that Captain Yue Shengyue, who always exudes a strong sense of justice and acts with integrity, is actually an informant for the Heavenly People!

Yue Sheng looked at Song Gua.

"I am an enemy of the Federation, I am not worth your saving, you can leave."

Song Gua laughed.

"Who isn't? Let's stop talking about this and go."

Song Gua grabbed Yue Sheng's arm, trying to help him up.

To their astonishment, when Yue Sheng moved the hand that had been covering his stomach away, they found a gaping hole of blood!

"you……"

"I'm going to die soon, don't waste your time on me, go quickly."

"How could this happen! You're all at the third job advancement! How could you fight like this?!"

Even machines need power to keep running, let alone humans...

Song Gua looked back.

From their current position, they looked towards City Three.

This road has become a mixture of black and red.

That was the debris from the explosions of the abyssal creatures they had killed along the way, and their blood.

The enemy's corpses and their own blood paved a path!

Just how many battles did they go through?

How much blood did they bleed?

Third Guard City!

The Shi family!

They stood by and watched someone die!

Regardless of who the so-called "knife in the sky" Yue Sheng spoke of was, the Shi family's garrison in the Third Guard City is to blame for the deaths of Yue Sheng and his direct squad.

I originally planned to deal with the high-ranking officials in the Shi family, and then, once I reached the third level of advancement, I would wipe out the entire family.

Unexpectedly, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and such a turn of events occurred.

"Captain Yue, hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital. Professionals have a different physique than ordinary people. Even if the injury is serious, it's just an external injury, and with timely treatment, it'll be fine..."

"Song Gua..." Upon hearing these two words uttered by Yue Sheng, Song Gua's movements instantly froze. "Stop fussing. While I'm still lucid, I have something to say to you."
