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

Seeing the reinforcements engaged in fierce fighting in the distance, Song Gua finally understood.

Zhang Erhe wasn't a villain who died from talking too much; he noticed the reinforcements earlier than I did, and probably had some concerns, so he didn't continue to attack.

He tacitly allowed the Shi family to keep the city gates closed and secretly use a black knife to kill Zi Yuan.

If these actions were exposed, hmph...

No one can do anything about him.

What are you thinking about!

This is a divine transformation professional; only 85 such individuals have appeared in the world over a thousand years!

Would they care about their reputation?

If someone protects my Earth like Ah Zu, no one will dare to say a word against it.

However, not caring about reputation and face is different from justifying one's behavior.

As a commander-in-chief, if there is no evidence of indiscriminate killing of public officials, who would dare to serve as his soldier if this got out?

This includes acting as a protective umbrella for the families of corrupt officials.

Even if others find out, they can't do anything to Zhang Erhe, but if Zhang Erhe tries to do anything else, he will lose the support of those who act against the right path.

He is strong on his own, but not strong enough to punch the celestial beings or kick the dark aliens.

After the brainstorming session, Song Gua knew what he needed to do.

"Zhang Erhe! I'll beat you to death today, or at least rip you off!"

Zhang Erhe sneered.

"You're like an ant trying to shake a tree; killing you is just a thought away."

Song Gua responded with a cold laugh.

"Try killing one of them!"

Zhang Erhe's deep eyes were scrutinizing the bandit before him.

"You seem so confident, you must have a lot of life-saving tools on you. No problem, I can smash them one by one and then send you to meet Yue Sheng."

Song Gua pointed to the reinforcements in the distance and said.

"Aren't you afraid they'll be curious about why you killed me?"

"What they see after you die is up to me."

"Then I'll yell at them right now: 'You clergyman, you used the only long-range teleportation array to get to Glory City, and instead of eliminating the abyssal creatures, you killed your own general first. That's big news, isn't it?'"

"So, do you think they believe you, the bandit, or me?"

In terms of momentum, Zhang Erhe seemed to have the upper hand.

But Song Gua changed the subject with a single sentence.

"Where are the Shi family members? I wonder if they're tough enough. I'll capture a few alive and see if they can say anything useful."

As he spoke, Song Gua's gaze locked onto the distant Third Guard City.

Zhang Erhe's expression did indeed change somewhat.

From that city to here, the road is marked by the bloody battles fought by Yue Sheng and his direct subordinate squad.

This road leads to death.

The Song hexagram needs to be processed again.

This time, it was both to lure Zhang Erhe away and to avenge them!

Song Gua had long ago told his clones that they were the "Fourth Calamity".

People from Blue Star, Dark Star, and Heavenly Beings have nothing to do with him.

He wants to be the fourth party.

Even after learning that he had traveled through time rather than the world, this idea remained unchanged.

More than a thousand years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically.

These people from Blue Star today call Earth Blue Star. History has been forgotten, and culture has been emasculated. We still don't understand the intricacies of this situation.

What are we supposed to empathize with them about?

Why act like a saint?!

Song Gua would not feel that he was rescuing a traitor just because Yue Sheng was an informant for the Heavenly People.

He was simply trying his best to save an elder who had helped him, and incidentally, to avenge him!

Moreover, Song Gua believes that...

Even if Yue Sheng was an inside man, he should have been tried and killed by the Blue Star Military Court, instead of dying in battle and leaving his body to rot in the wilderness!

He fought against the abyssal creatures until his death, choosing not to break through the barrier of the Third Guardian City to hide inside.

Whether he betrayed humanity or not is something we should not jump to conclusions about too early.

"Somersault Cloud—"

Riding on auspicious seven-colored clouds, his weapon changed to the Golden Cudgel. With a single, gigantic strike, he swept across the abyssal creatures in the sky and flew towards the Third Guard City.

"Are you sure you can leave?"

Zhang Erhe struck again, slashing out with his blade and hitting Song Gua in the back.

Zhang Erhe's attack was impactful, and Song Gua was knocked off his somersault cloud.

But the somersault cloud was intelligent and quickly caught him, continuing to fly forward.

This is why Song Gua used the power of the Monkey King to fly, instead of using his own magical shoes.

"Not dead again?"

Zhang Erhe observed very carefully this time. Song Gua didn't have any equipment, treasures, or props that could be used to his advantage, so why couldn't he be killed?

Looking back at the approaching reinforcements, Zhang Erhe thought for a moment and then decided to chase after Song Gua.

Zhang Erhe once again unleashed a powerful strike from mid-air, shaking the mountains and rivers, and forcing back the surrounding abyssal creatures with its aftershocks.

Song Gua flew at full speed ahead, beating up abyssal creatures from all directions with his staff, all the while wearing a Taoist robe and a hood, looking very formal, completely ignoring the attacks behind him.

Just as Zhang Erhe's attack was about to hit Song Gua again, Song Gua exploded!

Zhang Erhe was stunned for a moment.

"Did it self-destruct?"

It looks exactly like a self-destruction, and in fact, it is a self-destruction.

However, it wasn't Song Gua who revealed himself, but Lucky Guy.

Just as Song Gua was about to be hit by Zhang Erhe's attack, he and Lucky Guy switched positions, causing Lucky Guy to self-destruct on the spot.

Thus, Zhang Erhe's attack hit a target that had already self-destructed, so the damage was meaningless; it was essentially a trigger of the death mechanism.

Amidst the burst of fire from the explosion, Song Gua darted away in a flash.

When the firelight dimmed, Zhang Erhe was shocked to find that the bandit was dressed neatly again and had flown far away.

"That's so strange."

In Zhang Erhe's eyes, Song Gua had self-destructed, but immediately flew out unharmed.

In reality, Lucky Guy had just been resurrected thanks to his professional talent when he was swapped away by Song Gua.

"If I can't kill you, surely I can trap you?"

Zhang Erhe continued flying, chasing after Song Gua. The golden pagoda in his hand spun rapidly, then flew away, growing larger in the wind and transforming into a giant tower that pressed down.

"I can create clones of myself!"

Song Gua borrowed Wu Ge's power and used Wu Ge's skills. As his body turned into mist, he summoned countless white mist-like humanoid clones.

Zhang Erhe's golden pagoda successfully suppressed the evil spirits, but unfortunately, it trapped a group of white mist created by his skills.

The Song hexagram transformed into mist and rode the wind away.

"Hahaha! Zhang Erhe! What can you do to me!"

Zhang Erhe frowned slightly.

"Isn't this bandit's ability type a bit too mixed? Even an all-around sequence shouldn't be this much, right?"

Using these strange tricks of his clones, Zhang Erhe chased Song Gua all the way to the Third Guard City, but still couldn't do anything to him.

"Very good, Yue Sheng's body has been buried in the ground by Q. The abyssal creatures can't trample him. Zhang Erhe has also been lured away. The next step is..."

Song Gua's gaze fell upon what came into view: the Third Guard City!

At this moment, the guarded city is engulfed in a vast ocean attacked by abyssal creatures.

The barrier was on the verge of collapse, and the raiding beasts were wreaking havoc throughout the city, leaving blood and corpses everywhere.

"Block them! Block them all! Look! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Shi Qi shouted anxiously from the city wall, pointing to the light bursting from the battle of the reinforcements in the distance, and yelled at all the members of the garrison.

He was thrilled, thankful that he hadn't handed over the energy crystal, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive!

Shi Ji took a closer look.

"Third Brother! The reinforcements have indeed arrived! A master has already flown over!"

"Really? That's great!"

As the person flew closer, they took a closer look.

Dice headgear, black Taoist robe.

"Holy crap!! They're bandits!!"

The Song hexagram activated Walker, and the strong, powerful figure of the pig butcher stood up on the earth.

Song Gua, controlling Walker's Law of Heaven and Earth, grabbed the tail of a siege beast passing through the air.

"I'll smash it!!!"
