My profession is too unique.

Chapter 128 Assault! Black Tuo Priest?

"He killed three professionals of the same level in a single encounter..."

From the depths of that crevice, a figure gradually emerged, like a ghost. His withered white hair nearly covered half his face, and his throat gurgled as if pebbles were grinding against it.

"This is only the first time he's been promoted. He truly deserves to be a core seed with the talent of the Black Jadeite."

Yang Yan, who was standing on the edge of the rift, was startled and quickly assumed a fighting stance.

Wu Yang stared at him with a solemn expression and furrowed brows, while Zhang Yunqing, standing beside Su Chen, had a look of surprise and doubt in her beautiful eyes. "You are... Pang Yongliang, the third son of the Pang family!?"

"Oh?" The old man's withered white hair parted, revealing a pair of deep-set, scarlet eyes. His face was hunched over, like a dried corpse, and he wore a sickly smile: "I'm already this sick, and yet someone still recognizes me..."

Seeing how ferocious and terrifying the other party was, Zhang Yunqing felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"You're the remnant of the Pang family who's been on the run?" Su Chen looked at the old man. He had heard Ming Lin mention him a few days ago when they were drinking heavily.

This guy had been in charge of the Pang family's business outside. He wasn't in Yingfeng on the day of the downfall. He later escaped back, and the court has been looking for him ever since.

“Remnants…” Pang Yongliang’s withered face twitched, his eyes fixed on Su Chen. “My Pang family has worked diligently for the court for generations. Even if we haven’t made any great contributions, we have certainly put in a lot of hard work.”

“Only Pang Hui colluded with the Treachery Cult. We didn’t even know about it, yet the Tribunal wanted to exterminate us without giving us a chance to defend ourselves. Erasing the memories of the children in our clan wasn’t enough; they were also sent to lower-level cities to become refugees!”

"The court is cruel and heartless!"

After the massacre of the entire family, Su Chen truly knew nothing of what happened next, but upon hearing Pang Yongliang's words, he couldn't help but ask:
"Since only Pang Hui colluded with the Ghost God Cult before, what about you now? Don't even mention this place, it's just your lair."

Pang Yongliang's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "I did it for revenge."

Su Chen shrugged. "What if the rest of the Pang family also want revenge and follow your example to contact the Ghost God Cult?"

"That's just sophistry!" Pang Yongliang sneered. "I wanted to lie low in Yingfeng and give you a big surprise, but unfortunately, you found out. Today, I can only collect some interest."

"A core seed, and Xia Hanshi's student at that! Excellent, this is wonderful!"

"Ignorant fools!" Wu Yang stood in front of Pang Yongliang, one hand behind his back, gesturing for the surrounding judges to retreat.

At the same time, he said sternly, "The court's destruction of the Pang family was not just for accountability, but also a warning to everyone: this is the consequence!"

"Even if your relatives and friends don't know, they will be punished and even killed for colluding with the cult of the evil god!"

Only punishing the ringleaders is too civilized. The family enjoys the benefits of colluding with the evil god, but naturally they must also pay the price.

Su Chen followed the judges as they retreated towards the main entrance.

"Give me your life!" Pang Yongliang's features twisted into a ferocious expression, and grayish-white mist gushed out from his seven orifices.

Its back arched, its figure blurred into a blurry afterimage amidst the swirling mist, the air crackling and exploding, its wide robes ripping into strips as it charged forward, revealing the grayish-white skin beneath.

The gray-white mist swirling around him condensed into fang-shaped vortexes as he advanced, and his fingernails swelled into ten bone blades, tearing through the air with a shrill whistle as he aimed straight for Wu Yang's throat.

Wu Yang reacted quickly, and crimson flames immediately exploded around him. Fire dragons swirled around him and condensed into a huge crimson maw, ready to swallow the gray-white vortex.

However, the moment the two crossed paths, Wu Yang's expression changed drastically. He saw that the seemingly menacing fang-like mist suddenly dissipated, as if it had no killing power, and drifted past his sides.

"not good!"

His expression changed drastically, sensing something was amiss, and he turned his head in a flash.

Sure enough, the fog recombine behind him, its momentum undiminished, its target Su Chen!
"kill!"

Pang Yongliang's face was filled with the pleasure of revenge. Xia Hanshi was one of the key figures in the downfall of the Pang family and had killed Su Chen.

This will not only cause the court to regret it, but will also make Xia Hanshi extremely remorseful!

Killing this one person is far more effective than killing a hundred or a thousand judges.

Crackling!

Intense arcs of electricity exploded around Su Chen, dazzling lightning engulfed him, and the violent wind and thunder even blew away many judges who were nearby.

"Useless, useless!" Pang Yongliang's withered face looked terrifying as he moved at high speed, like a wriggling earthworm.

Just as the ten-fingered bone blades were about to strike, the floor beneath Su Chen's feet shattered, and an arc of light shot out into the distance at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

boom!
The ball of lightning exploded in front of him, scattering in all directions. Pang Yongliang's attack missed its target. His horrified eyes looked in the direction from which the arc of light had shot out, a look of disbelief flashing across his gaze: "How could it be... so fast?"

However, in a short while, Su Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"What kind of speed is that?" Wu Yang was also dumbfounded, looking in the direction where the arc of light had gone. "There wasn't even a movement trajectory, not even a shadow. Is this guy really a third-tier?"

Zhang Yunqing, who had been thrown into the air, landed just then. He didn't even care about the pain in his body. His eyes were glazed over, and he ran... ran very fast.

"How could it have gotten this fast! Damn it, damn it!" Pang Yongliang, seemingly insane, suddenly turned around, his sinister gaze sweeping over the other judges nearby, especially Zhang Yunqing.

"Little girl, you recognized me just now, didn't you?"

Zhang Yunqing was startled, while Wu Yang looked grim. Pang Yongliang had a special profession and was skilled in assassination. If his target was these judges present...

He probably can't stop it in a short time.

Unexpectedly, this time we stumbled upon a lucky find, but unfortunately we didn't bring more people.

Just then, Pang Yongliang's brow twitched, and his body felt a chill as he sensed a threat. Instinctively, a grayish-white mist began to spread.

Suddenly, his brain felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and he was momentarily dazed.

At that very instant, a thunderous roar erupted behind him!
Rumble!
Su Chen's figure appeared like a thunderbolt, wielding a dark cyan giant hammer, which crashed down with violent lightning. There was no sign of him gathering power; he just appeared abruptly, as if he had been preparing for a long time elsewhere.

The blue and red electric snakes on the surface of the hammer thrashed wildly, and the explosive sound of tearing through the air intertwined with the rolling thunder.

Before the hammer even arrived, the violent lightning pressure had already torn apart the surrounding air, and the lightning chains wrapped around the hammer handle writhed like living things, the bursting plasma illuminating the surroundings in a ghastly white light.

His position was extremely cunning, almost touching Pang Yongliang, and all his abilities were compressed into a giant hammer in his hand.

This is his strongest attack so far!
boom!
The moment the hammer struck Pang Yongliang's back, the accumulated power poured out like a flood bursting its banks, accompanied by a blinding flash and a deafening roar like a mountain collapsing.

The powerful shockwave spread out in a ring, and Pang Yongliang's face was contorted. This guy hadn't run away at all; he was hiding nearby, and he hadn't even noticed him!

The terrifying power coming from behind him shocked him even more; this was truly a professional who had just advanced to the third tier.
boom!
Like hitting a ball, Pang Yongliang's body suddenly shot out.

"Wu Yang!" Su Chen shouted sharply. Wu Yang, who was surprised by Su Chen's sudden appearance, suddenly woke up. His body moved faster than he thought. Years of practical experience made him make the best choice.

With arms outstretched, the rolling crimson flames on both sides condensed into fire dragons, roaring out!

The attacks were perfectly timed, one after the other!
boom!
The fire dragon exploded, turning into a rain of fire that splashed in all directions.

Pfft!
Along with the body that fell, there was also a nearly charred body, which was Pang Yongliang.

"Cough...cough..." Pang Yongliang was not dead yet. His skin was charred brown, and electric arcs occasionally splattered from his wounds.

"They're still alive? Their vitality is truly remarkable." Su Chen shook his arm, his body swaying slightly. The extreme burst of energy left him with a sense of emptiness.

When Pang Yongliang launched his attack, he didn't actually flee. Instead, he momentarily created a spatial rift and simultaneously emitted an arc of electricity, giving the illusion of escape.
While Pang Yongliang was shifting his target, he gathered his strength in the spatial interlayer, launched a close-range sneak attack, and barely managed to create a brief opening with [Black Tuo's Gaze].

However, since the opponent was a fourth-tier professional, he needed to cooperate with Wu Yang to seriously injure him, which is why he used a heavy weapon like a hammer to blast him towards Wu Yang.

If a sharp instrument is used, it is unlikely to achieve anything.

Wu Yang stared at him as if he'd seen a ghost. How could this be so hard to kill?

Without Su Chen's assistance, he would have had trouble even catching his opponent. The two have completely different strengths, and his overall strength might not even be as good as Pang Yongliang's.

But precisely because of this, Pang Yongliang, who was skilled at sneak attacks, was seriously injured after being attacked head-on.

"Good...good..." Yang Yan swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. Su Chen...how could he be so perverted?

“You…” Pang Yongliang struggled to turn over, his charred skin cracking open to reveal the bloody muscles beneath.

“...How...is it possible…” Only a few syllables could be uttered from his throat.

"Take him out..." Wu Yang raised his hand, and the nearby judges quickly came forward, first keeping him alive, before carrying him out.

Zhang Yunqing and the others also limped out, leaving only a few third-level judges behind.

"I never expected him to be hiding here." Wu Yang walked to the cave entrance and said coldly, "He actually dug such a big hole."

“This place was originally a shopping mall, but it was later bought and renovated by the Zhou family. Could it be that the Zhou family is also colluding with the Ghost God Cult?” Yang Yan couldn’t help but ask.

“Be careful what you say…” Wu Yang frowned. “Perhaps even the Zhou family doesn’t know that this place may have taken even longer to build.”

The Zhou family's Zhou and the security chief Zhou Yanwu are both Zhou.

"Is there anything else down there?" Yang Yan realized he had spoken out of turn and changed the subject.

"I don't know, that's for the best..." Wu Yang was also unsure. "It's already surprising enough that Pang Yongliang is hiding here, let alone..."

Su Chen's eyes flickered; Pang Yongliang was clearly not a follower of the Black Tuo sect.

What he could sense were probably things like magical artifacts; the Black Tuo followers wouldn't let an outsider guard those things, would they?

"Perhaps we should wait..." Before Wu Yang could finish speaking, a wisp of black mist drifted out from below the cave. His heart felt like it had been gripped by a giant hand, his pupils contracted, and he immediately shouted:
"run!!"

Su Chen's eyelids twitched. He was the fastest to react. This time, he was really escaping. Lightning crackled beneath his feet. With the Thunder God's Movement enhanced by his Wind Boots, lightning flashed, and he shot out like an arrow.

This was the first time Su Chen had tried his speed at full speed. He felt a blur before his eyes, a sharp pain in his face, and a loud bang behind him as he smashed through the wall.

"What ran out?" Wu Yang was stunned. Before he could even rush out of the hall, Su Chen had already disappeared.

Although it didn't disappear as mysteriously as before, this time it was truly extremely fast.

The professions he advanced through were mostly not those that emphasized speed; his speed was only average, but he was still a fourth-tier professional.

"It can run fast and it can fight, that's incredibly versatile, that's the strength of a top-tier professional player..."

Even in the critical moment of escaping for his life, Wu Yang couldn't help but feel envious.

"Now that you've found us, stay here!"

A faint shout came from behind. Su Chen felt a chill under his feet. The black mist that seemed to be spreading from somewhere was faster than he was running away.

"A big one, even more powerful than Pang Yongliang! The Black Tuo Priest?" Su Chen realized this. He was moving very fast, but at this moment he was getting closer and closer to the building.

The surrounding area seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.

"They used us as bait, but what about the people they were protecting?" Su Chen frowned. He could transform into the Black Tuo Priest and save his life even at the last moment.

But if someone discovers something amiss, then it will be troublesome.

In the distance, Zhu Peng and the other guards, who had sensed the commotion and rushed back, were horrified. Looking at the sea of ​​clouds now shrouded in black mist, they were dazed and murmured softly:
"It's over, it's over..."

"A priest, the Black Tuo priest, there's actually a priest in this place?"

Yang Yan, who was running the slowest, couldn't help but turn around and look at the figure that emerged from the cave. Its pupils were pitch black, swallowing the surrounding light. He was terrified. "What kind of luck is this?"

He still believes that it was his report that made Su Chen decide to investigate this place.

"There really is a powerful ghost..."

Suddenly, surprised and doubtful voices arose from all around. Yang Yan was startled; the voices sounded familiar.

Countless strands of light emerged from the void, as if drawn by an invisible force, and rapidly intertwined around the Black Priest.

These lights were not gentle streams of light, but rather carried a kind of cold, rule-based power, weaving and outlining elliptical contours, each trajectory precisely embedded in the others.

The entire magic circle slowly rotated as if it were alive, and the dark power emanating from the Black Priest caused tiny sparks to continuously burst from its edges.

“Holy Seal Master… Second Judge…” Priest Black Tuo’s face was gloomy.

They just couldn't understand how the court could still find them here when they had already suppressed their external activities for more than a month.

He did not give up resisting, but it was all in vain. When the last rune was connected, the magic circle suddenly solidified into a physical entity.

The light transformed from a flowing state to a hard, crystalline texture, with faint patterns floating on the surface, forming a hexagonal prism centered around the Black Tuo priest.

The surrounding darkness seemed to lose control, gradually receding until it finally disappeared completely.

"Your Honor..." Yang Yan slumped to the ground, looking at the woman in the white and gold robe who appeared before him. It was You Shan.
