Chapter 111: [Honorific Title: Five Pass God·Descent Dharma Body]
10 PM.
Two hours left until the night shift ends.
Fang Qingyu is lying on the sofa, posting messages.
The Life Ghost slain this time, named Sulfur Scale Blade Demon, is categorized as a bone-flesh type, marrow-puppet variant in the compendium.
Its corpse was disassembled by Yun Jiaojiao for him.
So Fang Qingyu is currently putting these materials up for exchange for Life Pearls or other cultivation resources.
Then he looks at the diagram.
Currently, there are 4 Skill Points and 1 Attribute Point in savings.
One point was left over from the last kill of the Alien God Association.
Killed two Life Ghosts today and with the profession upgrade, exactly 4 points.
Along with skill upgrade.
Also rewarded with one Attribute Point.
Considered a breakthrough to Martial Artist, the wealthiest wave at the moment.
Looking at the diagram, after pondering for a while.
Fang Qingyu decides to invest in Thunder Strike Eight Slashes.
Mainly due to the recent trip to the Martial Arts Wall.
The Thunder Blade has already reached Great Success, coupled with these two days of training.
Currently, it's just about 4 Skill Points away from the Transformation Realm.
As the most powerful method of combat currently available.
The increase in combat power from Great Success to Transformation Realm is definitely greater than from Minor Achievement to Great Success in the Second Realm Observation Method.
Determined.
Fang Qingyu finds an excuse to temporarily leave.
Head to the training field.
Invest all 4 Skill Points into Thunder Strike Eight Slashes.
At the moment the last Skill Point is infused into the diagram, a thousand streaks of purple lightning suddenly explode in the skull cavity.
A thin thread of thunder inadvertently floats to the surface of the body.
The realization of the Sixth Blade, Irrefutable, floods the mind.
Though each subsequent blade of Thunder Strike Eight Slashes is stronger than the previous, it also includes specialties for certain scenarios.
Some are suited for group attacks, others for single target assaults.
Irrefutable is like the ancient sweeping of battalions.
Where it sweeps, within a 10-meter radius, any enemy unit.
Undoubtedly a range attack.
Yet this blade...
Doesn't quite resemble a saber technique.
Next.
The Seventh Blade, Returning to Silence.
Is an exceedingly powerful individual attack.
Guided by Celestial Thunder, all sounds return to silence.
Reverse grip on the sword handle initiates the action, sword tip pointing to the ground like lifting a coffin.
Lightning gathers completely at the soles.
Each step shatters the ground with purple lightning patterns; as the blade swings diagonally from below, all accumulated thunder channels through the foot-waist-arm conduction chain, transforming into threefold overlapping thunder Sword Force.
Designed to obliterate specific enemies.
This move is very useful against large Life Ghosts.
When Fang Qingyu reopens his eyes.
A prompt appears on the panel.
[Congratulations, your profession advanced skill "Thunder Strike Eight Slashes" has reached Level 4 (12/1600)]
To achieve Perfection next.
There will be a relatively long road ahead.
Then Fang Qingyu clicks the plus sign behind Golden Body.
Always prepared in advance.
Fang Qingyu clenches his fists and straightens his back.
Dark gold patterns arise beneath the skin.
The roaming golden particles resemble thousands of forging hammers, resonating outward from deep within the spine; each tremor causes the bones to emit a baptismal hum like iron being quenched.
The fibers of flesh are weaving madly.
The originally supple texture becomes resilient; every muscle bundle knots and expands under the refinement of lightning and gold particles.
As the golden patterns cover the thoracic cavity.
Fang Qingyu feels the organs being reshaped by invisible hands.
When the lungs expand, they roar like blowpipes, and the heartbeat is as dense as a temple morning bell....
What... power!!!
Simply adding one Attribute Point is much more potent than enhancing physical attributes numerous times before.
No wonder the three physical attributes merge into one point.
Adding a point now.
Is a complete physical boost!!!
Fang Qingyu, who hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time, is quite nostalgic.
Meanwhile, his motivation to augment attribute points surges explosively!!
Physical body...
Is a man's most fundamental romance.
But now he can't stay in the training field for too long; Fang Qingyu wipes himself off and quickly returns to the 28th floor.
Fortunately, no mission occurred during this time.
Fang Qingyu goes back to the sofa to see if anyone has contacted him.
No one did...
The Life Ghost materials are indeed valuable.
But also require finding someone who needs them.
Unless you price them so low, it's as good as giving them away.
Otherwise, it takes time to process.
11:30 PM.
Half an hour before the end of the night shift.
Qu Zhe is already discussing with Qin Hui where to go have fun after work when the earpiece suddenly sounds again.
"Old Town District, Huai'an Road Third Middle School's old site, the center of the schoolyard, Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghost detected! Repeat..."
"Damn, gotta work overtime."
Qu Zhe immediately jumps up.
"Let's go."
Fang Qingyu knows his character, says nothing, and immediately leads everyone into the elevator room.
Qi Hao stands nearby, praying.
Hope this time there is a Martial Disciple Level Life Ghost to practice against.
As soon as the elevator doors open.
Qu Zhe is the first to rush out.
Everyone hops onto the black modified SUV, police lights instantly tearing through the night sky.
Amidst the engine roar, the vehicle shoots out like a cannonball.
The lights are green along the way.
Team coordinate very well.
In a few minutes, the SUV crashes through a barrier, barging in forcefully.
Although said to be a school old site.
It has actually been converted into a construction site.
Yet there seems to be no construction workers nearby; amidst such commotion, the nearby tin houses remain silent.
Not a single light.
"Old Qin, take Qi Hao to see if there's anyone around. I'll go with Qingzi to the center of the field to resolve the battle early."
As the team leader, Qu Zhe quickly commands.
On the way.
The Logistics Department had already sent over precise GPS coordinates for the old schoolyard.
Located behind the construction building.
Fang Qingyu and Qu Zhe need to circle around to get there.
This time it's Qu Zhe's turn to activate the Force Field.
Just hearing Qin Hui report no one's presence, Qu Zhe directly hammers the 'coffin' into the ground.
Fang Qingyu was already watching from the side.
However, when the 'coffin' sphere was about to hit the ground, he was very keenly aware...
An invisible eerie fluctuation seemed to envelop them before it even landed!!?
"Something seems off."
Fang Qingyu immediately draws Dragon Sparrow, pushing Crisis Perception to the extreme.
Listening, Qu Zhe becomes serious as well, looks around.
But a long while passed...
The surroundings remained silent, without any movement or threat.
"Fake Life Ghost!?"
Qu Zhe asked in confusion.
Sometimes, fluctuations appear, but the Life Ghost retreating back also happens from time to time.
Fang Qingyu had experienced it once.
"I'll go check the building, if there's still nothing, we'll head out."
Qu Zhe immediately made a decision.
"Let's go together."
But upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu immediately followed.
If he didn't see it wrong just now, this is actually not Qu Zhe's stance.
At times like this...
There's completely no need to separate.
"Alright then."
Qu Zhe said nothing, leading the way forward.
Inside, it was just a prototype, some stairs weren't even fully complete, the two had to mostly leap up.
And just as the two were searching inside the building...
In the construction site outside.
"Qingzi! Brother Qu?"
Qin Hui and Qi Hao, both frowning, called out to the two with no response.
"What's going on?"
Qi Hao looked tense.
Qin Hui was much calmer, as he was well aware of the two's abilities.
Frowning, he analyzed.
"Either the Life Ghost inside killed them instantly, or the radio is broken..."
"Or, there's someone causing trouble around!"
"You call for support, I'll go in and check."
Saying this, Qin Hui was about to walk towards the playground.
This time, Qu Zhe activated the force field. If really... the Life Ghost inside is unbeatable.
Then he must be responsible for dragging Fang Qingyu out alive.
Before he could take two steps.
The voice of Qi Hao came from behind.
"No, Qin Jiao, it seems the radio is jammed, we can't contact headquarters!!"
At the same time...
Several figures approached from around.
Qin Hui looked closely, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Pantheon's dogs, aren't you afraid of death!?"
...
"Oh jeez, there should be no one, let's go."
Struggling to climb to the rooftop, not finding any shadow, Qu Zhe suggested.
"Let's go."
Fang Qingyu nodded.
It's just uncertain whether they can leave or not.
The two quickly slid down with their swords inserted into the building's outer wall.
Soon reaching the ground.
At the entrance just opened, a figure stood silently there.
Seeing this, Qu Zhe thought it was Qin Hui and them.
Quickly approaching, he shouted, "No need to come in, go inform the staff this is a false alarm."
But as he walked, he was suddenly grabbed by Fang Qingyu.
"?"
Qu Zhe quickly turned his head.
"Brother Qu, do we... have insurance?"
Fang Qingyu looked at the red words in front of him.
Alarm bells were ringing in his mind.
[Revered Title: Five Pass God·Descent Dharma Body]
Although Qu Zhe couldn't figure out who the figure ahead was, seeing Fang Qingyu's expression already hinted something was wrong.
Listening to this, he chuckled.
"There's insurance, but you have to be alive to claim it."
"We..."
"Seems like we've encountered a god."
Fang Qingyu listened, and his tense mood slightly eased, and he said with a touch of sigh.
"Oh, is it this one in front?"
Qu Zhe slowly held his sword horizontally in front, eyes fixed on the front.
With each step the figure took.
The surroundings rippled with circles of viscous dark light.
The moonlight behind it condensed into a full, muddy yellow halo, in which moved the silhouettes of five ferocious heads.
...Snake, pig, rat, horse, monkey.
"There's one more gift, leave it to me."
When the figure approached, the horse head looked at Qu Zhe, its black eyes filled with greed.
After speaking.
The moonlight condensed into sticky silver threads around its neck.
Those threads wrapped around the entire head, beginning to tear outward.
The Dharma body's back cracked open like a spider web of black lines, with the horse head emitting a metallic screech, a three-meter-high malformed body was forcefully ripped from the main body.
"..."
"Brother, you should retreat."
Qu Zhe widened his eyes watching this scene, suddenly feeling a sense of liberation.
He pushed the nearby Fang Qingyu.
This is his force field, as long as he doesn't die, the other side needs some time to get out.
"I don't think I can get out, Brother Qu."
Fang Qingyu smiled, his thumb pressing against the Dragon Sparrow Blade Guard.
The sword exploded with dazzling thunderous light inside the scabbard, the dark purple blade hummed and trembled as it was unsheathed.
Crimson gold flowing fire erupted from his palm.
Accompanied by golden patterns winding around his entire body.
Now it can be confirmed, this place is definitely not Qu Zhe's force field.
So leaving...
Is impossible to escape.
The only option is to fight!!!
But the sense of oppression from the opponent, is even more terrifying than the Nine Netherworld lady seen in the Earth Palace last time...
This means.
The difference in strength between them.
Is even greater than the previous gap between himself and the Nine Netherworld lady!!!
Bam——
In just an instant.
Qu Zhe had already vanished.
The horse head swiftly carried him to crash into the building under construction behind.
Fang Qingyu didn't stop it...
Right now, for the two of them, if they both want to survive.
Both must exert effort.
And Qu Zhe cultivated the Reversed Blood Scripture, dealing with one horse head...
Should be manageable, right!?
Refocusing on the figure with four heads in front.
Fang Qingyu still had some confusion.
Why would a Divine Descent Body deliberately intercept and kill them here tonight?
A mate of Nine Netherworld? Or... a dog of Pantheon!?
But before Fang Qingyu could figure it out.
The rat head in the middle sniffed, its voice hoarse, saying.
"Which god is inside you?"
"No need to deny it, I can smell it..."
