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

Who is that in the sky?

The Song hexagram indicates no need to worry.

No matter how powerful that being in heaven is, he cannot kill himself.

He now only wanted to race against time and use Thorncari's "Resurrection" skill to revive Yue Sheng.

After his clone ability advanced to the fourth level, Song Gua gained the ability to use clones to take the blame for injuries; he wouldn't die until all his clones were dead.

Moreover, in gaming terms, this ability has another advantage—damage overflow is not calculated.

For example, if each clone has 100 health points, and an enemy can reduce his health by 1000 in one hit, it won't cause ten clones to die; in fact, only one clone will die.

In other words, Song Gua, who currently possesses over three thousand clones, would require his enemies to kill him over three thousand times before they could even harm his main body, no matter how they attacked him.

Having more than three thousand lives means he has plenty of time to exchange locations to escape.

Sohnka is activated.

The enormous figure of Thorne appeared behind Song Gua.

He formed hand seals, aimed them at Yue Sheng's corpse, and activated the skill: Resurrection of the Dead. The skill's cast bar began.

Some of the clones overlapping on the Song hexagram couldn't help but start discussing it when they saw this.

"Who exactly wants to harm Yue Sheng?"

"It's just the Shi family! They won't open the city gates! Just like Li Yuanji wouldn't open the gates for Luo Cheng, and even sent him to attack Su Lie!"

"No, no, no, the key is that Ziyuan was killed. If Ziyuan were alive, Yue Sheng would have no difficulty breaking through!"

"Yue Sheng said that a sword from heaven killed Zi Yuan. Could it have been a celestial being?"

"This is no simple matter; I have a feeling there's a bigger boss behind it all!"

"Once Yue Sheng is resurrected, we can ask him if he doesn't know anything."

"Haha! This big boss didn't expect that, did he? Our bandits have a noble resurrection skill!"

Just as the clones were discussing among themselves, Song Gua activated the skill to revive the dead.

A red blade of light pierced through the sky from above the clouds.

Don't forget, as long as Song Gua has clones superimposed on him, he essentially has a 360-degree perspective.

Some bored clones kept staring at the sky, so they saw the attack coming from the clouds immediately.

"Incoming—"

"It's you again! You arrogant English speaker!"

Speak like a human being!

"An attack is falling from the sky! It's a professional's skill!"

"You scoundrel! Get out of here!!"

Song Gua was forced to interrupt the ability to revive the dead.

Although the attack came from high above, it was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a faint point of light into a menacing red crescent shape.

Song Gua immediately activated his Flash skill to dodge the attack.

However, the opponent's move was not that simple.

After the blade flashed past the spot where Song Gua had appeared, it rose again as if an eagle had soared into the sky.

At the same time, it splits into two, flanking from both directions and strangling Song Gua once again.

Its speed increased rather than decreased, and even with the Song hexagram's basic attributes at this point, its trajectory could no longer be tracked!

"Holy crap! That's awesome?"

The opponent's attack was too fast.

Once Flash cooldown is over, Song Gua won't have enough time to dodge with footwork or other skills.

Moreover, this move will obviously be tracked.

Fortunately, Song Gua still has one more move.

A dark pocket watch!

There wasn't enough time to summon a clone for it to use, so Song Gua activated the Dark Artifact himself.

"Back—to—"

Retrace the target's progress; the skill of someone who is very close at hand.

It worked!

The enemy's attack retreated from its original position, changing from two attacks back to one, and then flew back into the air.

Inside the Soul-Devouring Pearl No. 2, Good Second Brother was overjoyed.

"Hahaha! You've done a great job, you bitch!"

The dark pocket watch received a portion of Song Gua's soul power.

He let out a gasp of surprise.

"Oh! Dark Emperor above! Such pure and powerful soul power, I have never seen anything like it in a thousand years! It is as pure as dew after rain, and as fiery as the sun! Praise be to this soul power!"

Hao Er's expression was ugly.

"What are you babbling on about?"

Outside, the danger has not yet subsided.

The skill that should have been reverted actually fell back down in mid-air!

Backtracking failed!

Even the power of the Dark Artifacts' rules can be resisted?

What exactly is this being in the sky?

Faced with the Song hexagram, there are two choices.

First, swap positions with a cannon fodder, letting the cannon fodder die in their place.

Second, without exchanging positions, designate a sacrificial lamb to take the damage, allowing the sacrificial lamb to die instead, but the original player doesn't need to leave.

Song chose the second option.

Because he still had to save people.

Since we can't stop it, we might as well give up and stop trying to stop it, and focus all our efforts on activating the Resurrection skill.

When the blade was still hundreds of meters away from Song Gua, his Taoist robe was already torn apart by the astonishingly powerful attack, turning into countless fragments flying everywhere.

Wherever the blade flashed, abyssal creatures shattered inch by inch, and the surrounding vegetation and rocks were all crushed by the residual force.

Song Gua's headgear also couldn't withstand the residual force of the attack and instantly shattered.

Fortunately, Song Gua still has Monkey King's ability to change his face as a backup.

His face instantly transformed into that of a rugged middle-aged man.

The Taoist robe and hood were torn, but there was still equipment inside the Song Gua.

"Bang!!"

The blade struck Song Gua.

A huge red damage number popped up above Song Gua's head, bright red and pulsating, indicating physical damage, and it was a critical hit.

The legendary quality equipment on my body lost 10% of its durability after taking an attack.

The artifact was unaffected.

Legendary quality equipment is very difficult to reduce in terms of durability. The saying "legends are passed down for three generations, and the equipment remains even after the person is gone" is not just a joke.

Although the equipment was damaged, and although a lucky cannon fodder died in its place.

But the Song hexagram remained unharmed.

He continued to activate the Resurrection ability.

A voice, carrying a hint of authority and pressure, came from above.

"You're the first person to survive my fatal attack. It seems I didn't underestimate you. You must be the true leader among the bandits. What's your relationship with Yue Sheng?"

Song Gua didn't need to look up; the clone superimposed on him had already seen who the old man floating in mid-air was.

"Zhang Erhe, commander of the Third Army of the Allied Forces! What's he doing here??"

"The news said he used a teleportation array to travel directly from Shangjing to the outer edge of Glory City!"

"He came to support Glory City, so why isn't he eliminating the abyssal creatures? Instead, he's persecuting Yue Sheng here? Has he lost his mind??"

"Didn't Yue Sheng tell Shen Feng that he was an informant for the Heavenly People? Zhang Erhe probably found out about this, which is why he wants to get rid of him, right?"

"Even if Zhang Erhe wanted to prosecute the mole, he could have done it through proper channels. Why use this kind of setting and these kinds of methods?"

"Ugh, Captain Yue, really! As a human from Earth, why does he have to work for the celestials? It's not like he's desperate or forced into this situation. He's rich, powerful, and has an official position, isn't he? I just can't understand it!"

While casting the skill's pre-cast animation, Song Gua let out a cold snort without even raising his head.

"You think I'd just tell you if you asked me? You only know how to use underhanded tactics, what kind of person are you?"
