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

Song Gua launched Thornka again.

This is already the umpteenth time I've used the Thorncard tonight.

As the remaining attempts dwindled, Song Gua could only hope.

Thorne, refresh the page again next year. No matter which city you refresh in, even if it's to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find you!

Then I'll kill you.

I don't want to think about that anymore.

Song Gua dug Yue Sheng's body out of the ground.

Q unleashed a large number of tentacles, completely surrounding him and Yue Sheng.

Because Q also drank the Monster's Enchanting Incense, the abyssal creatures running nearby would avoid it when they saw it.

In this way, Song Gua's use of the "Resurrection of the Dead" skill will not be disturbed.

Everything went smoothly.

This time it really went smoothly.

Covered in wounds and battered beyond recognition, Yue Sheng went through a series of twists and turns under the influence of the Dark Pocket Watch, Soenka, and Song Gua.

In the end, it was fully recovered!

When Yue Sheng woke up, he looked at his body in great surprise.

The injuries have all healed.

"How could I...?"

"Captain Yue... I still prefer to call you that. I have a Thorncard."

"I know, but how did you manage to revive me right under Zhang Erhe's nose? He won't allow me to come back to life."

"He's busy."

Yue Sheng reacted quickly; he immediately stood up and looked towards the main city.

"Has the main city fallen?"

Yue Sheng could only think of this reason, which would make Zhang Erhe disregard him and rush to rescue the main city.

"Don't worry about the Abyss invasion. Just leave here and find another area to lay low for a while. Or, see if you can contact the celestials to pick you up? I reckon if you stay on Blue Star, Zhang Erhe will still..."

"Which wave of abyssal creatures are we in now?"

"The sixth wave."

"It's only the sixth wave... The crystal can't break, otherwise, the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth waves of abyssal creatures will be directly released into various cities."

The Chinese region will suffer immense devastation, its population will plummet once again, and the world order may even be destabilized as a result!

At that time, the Dark Star people will seize the opportunity to invade, and we will lose our entire home!

"You still care about these things? Aren't you the Heavenly Ones' informant? Haven't you already..."

Song Gua wanted to say that Yue Sheng had already betrayed humanity.

But I always felt that I couldn't bring myself to say such things in front of Yue Sheng, who was so concerned about the country and its people at that moment.

"Child, I am also a human being, a Chinese. You may not understand what I am doing, and most people cannot understand it either, but that does not mean I want to watch my compatriots die."

"But when I fought Zhang Erhe before, he seemed to mention that you caused the deaths of 30,000 soldiers on the lunar battlefield."

"If I say I didn't, will you believe me?"

The Song hexagram remains silent.

He is not someone who easily trusts others.

Everything must be based on evidence; we cannot rely on subjective opinions.

Yue Sheng clearly didn't want to dwell on this topic.

Seeing that he hesitated to leave, Song Gua asked, "You're not thinking of going to support the main city, are you?"

"Zhang Erhe is there. If I go there, wouldn't I be letting down all your efforts?"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, I was really afraid you'd get carried away..."

"You said Zhang Erhe went to the main city, but how many Zhang Erhes went?"

"What do you mean there are several? Of course there's only one."

Yue Sheng suddenly looked up, his body trembling violently.

Song Gua also looked up.

High in the sky, there was a man wearing the same military uniform as Zhang Erhe!

A familiar voice drifted from afar.

"Hehe, Yue Sheng, you're quick-witted! Keep talking, I want to hear who this bandit really is, and what your relationship is!"

Song Gua's pupils contracted as he glanced towards the main city and then at the sky above.

"Zhang Erhe? Didn't you go to the main city?!"

"Yes, I went, to another version of myself."

What? Zhang Erhe also has the ability to create clones?

Yue Sheng explained.

"This is his avatar! It's his divine transformation talent! He can create an avatar outside his body that is completely identical in strength to his own!"

It sounds so familiar.

"How many of these clones does he have?"

"There's only one thing that sets Zhang Erhe apart among the clergy: his strength lies in the fact that he always fights as a duo!"

No wonder Zhang Erhe's skills and talents seem rather ordinary.

Although he is very powerful, he doesn't seem to match the strength a clergyman should have.

So that's where the ultimate move was!

"Zhang Erhe! You fucking haunt me!"

Zhang Erhe, number two in the air, sneered.

"Bandits! You think I can't see that you're trying to lure me away? You think I don't know that you have the two Thorncards that Yunshan and Nanshui obtained!"

One took me to the city of guards, while the other secretly resurrected Yue Sheng here.

I was just playing along!

I never expected that the main city would fall so quickly.

It's alright, at least I noticed your actions in time.

I can't kill you, but killing Yue Sheng should be effortless; you have no power to stop me!

Song Gua pushed Yue Sheng away and had Q wrap him up.

"Take Yue Sheng away quickly!"

Before Yue Sheng was enveloped by Q's countless tentacles, he tried his best to reach out.

"Child! Don't worry about me! Run for your life! I'm already dead... Ugh..."

Q used its soft, ever-changing tentacles to completely envelop Yue Sheng, and rolled around like a large ball in the abyssal biome.

Zhang Erhe raised his knife in mid-air.

"Ultimate Move: Heaven and Earth Slash!"

A red light shot into the sky from Zhang Erhe's blade, shattering the nebulae in the night sky.

Song Gua leaped into the air.

"Mist Shield! Celestial Light Shield! Magic Cylinder! Holy Light Shield Reflector! Absolute Barrier! Zero Degree Domain..."

All defensive skills were unleashed at once, continuously stacking above Q to protect it and Yue Sheng inside.

Zhang Erhe's move has a charging time.

It's easy to imagine how intense it will be.

"Buzz—"

Zhang Erhe has made his move!

A massive, crescent-shaped red blade of light descended from the sky!

This is the move that killed Zi Yuan!

"Bang bang bang!!!"

None of the defensive skills Song Gua had set up in the air could withstand the attack; they were all easily destroyed by this one strike.

The blade flashed, piercing the heavens and earth, as if it wanted to cut the world in two!

"Captain Yue!"

Just then.

A blue laser, several meters in diameter, arrived at the speed of light from the extremely high sky!

"boom!!!"

The laser beam clashed with Zhang Erhe's Heaven and Earth Slash, and a terrifying explosion erupted at the point of impact. Visible shockwaves burst out in all directions, seemingly compressing and deforming space itself.

The ground directly below had sunk into a large pit, cracked inch by inch.

Q was also shattered, but it is rebuilding.

Yue Sheng, enveloped by it, was seriously injured again, covered in blood, but since he was not hit head-on, he was still alive.

"who!"

Zhang Erhe glared angrily at the sky.

A voice came through the night sky, sounding as if it were coming from a loudspeaker.

"Commander Zhang, it's been two years since we last met on the lunar battlefield. I hope you've been well."

The Song hexagram was moved.

"Miss Butterfly!"
