Infinite Professions

Chapter 163 - 78: Slaying Karma

"Die!!!"

As for Zhong Qin, temporarily ignore.

Just look at Zheng Zhong.

As an Evil Professional corrupted by the Evil God Sect, his mental state was already unstable, and after his wife was killed, he was further agitated. At this moment, he was completely mad, every move was a desperate attempt to strike, even if it meant burning jade and stone together, he would seek revenge for his wife’s death.

In such a manner, after a fierce fight for a moment, he could no longer hold back and unleashed his ultimate killing technique.

"Evil Dragon Dao!"

Only to see him soar into the sky, transforming into a blood-colored evil dragon, three layers of blood bell shields moved with him, swirling like a storm, like a venomous dragon drill, carrying an astonishing momentum toward Shen Hex.

Seeing this, Shen Hex was straightforward, his right hand raised a saber, flipping over and slashing out.

What kind of saber?

Dragon head as the hilt and sword swallowing, the mighty blade and broad mouth showing dominance, hook-backed iron spine showing ferocity, the entire body golden-red, as bright as the scorching sun, dignified and solemn, holy qi awe-inspiring, making all demons tremble.

Slaying Karma

Item Tier: Tier Three.

Item Profession: Saint Walker (Exclusive)

Item Special Effect: Slaying Karma (greatly increases damage to targets with karmic sin, and adds effects to exorcise demons, break evil, eliminate wickedness, and extinguish filth, using Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi to overcome all negative forces)

Item Introduction: Killing Life and Cutting Karma, Saintly Walk Without Regret!

...

Shen Hex wielded the saber, flipped over and slashed, suddenly the saber force burst out like a dragon, breaking demons and slaying karma with a majestic momentum.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the saber force sliced through, the shadow of the evil dragon shattered, yet no blood was spilled.

Only a figure, fell from the sky, splitting upon landing, becoming two halves.

Zheng Zhong — dead!

The Evil Professional, with Dharma Divine Skill, blood-refined to five or six layers, still couldn’t withstand this majestic saber force, the slaying karma breaking demons’ edge.

The situation that had been slightly perilous just before, in an instant, settled into dust!

Shen Hex sheathed the saber, and looked towards Zhong Qin: "It’s resolved."

"..."

Zhong Qin was silent for a moment, then lowered her head, canceling the call for help.

On the other side, several special ops team members controlled the situation, capturing all of Zheng Zhong’s direct disciples, and called the support team to clean up the battlefield, managing the scene.

The entire process, smooth and skillful, appeared very proficient.

Zhong Qin also approached Shen Hex, gazing at him with a peculiar expression, finally couldn’t resist curiosity: "What profession did you advance to?"

Shen Hex smiled, and without hiding, directly sent her the Saint Walker’s profession information.

"Saint Walker?"

"Killing Life and Cutting Karma?"

"Saintly Walk Without Regret?"

Looking at the profession information Shen Hex sent, Zhong Qin was first stunned, then relieved.

"So that’s it, so that’s it!"

"I wondered how he, a Tier Four Evil Professional, with five or six layers of Twelve Celestial Gates Golden Bell Shield, couldn’t even block a single saber of yours, turns out it was like this!"

Saying this, she looked excitedly at Shen Hex: "Your profession is simply a perfect counter to the Evil God Sect and Evil Professionals. Reporting it will definitely receive focused training, and becoming a senior member of the Special Bureau in the future is absolutely no problem."

Killing Life and Cutting Karma, Saintly Walk Without Regret!

A month ago, after officially joining the Special Bureau, Shen Hex started the grand journey of upgrading, using the information channels of the Special Bureau, vigorously eliminating the Evil God Cultists in the lower and middle districts.

Upholding justice and supporting the weak is the main way for the Mad Hero to gain experience, these Evil God Cultists perfectly fit the requirement, clearing them out can gain substantial experience.

Thus, Shen Hex not only quickly advanced to become a Saint Walker within a month, but also spent merits to customize a Tier Four Dragon Head Heavy Saber at the Special Bureau’s armory, using excess professional experience to consecrate the exclusive weapon of the Saint Walker, "Slaying Karma."

This is also the reason why he could instantly cut down Zheng Zhong.

Zheng Zhong, this Evil Professional, wasn’t particularly strong on his own, just with Martial Arts Fourth Stage True Essence Realm cultivation, Shen Hex could easily overpower him.

It’s just that he cultivated the Twelve Celestial Gates Golden Bell Shield of the Dharma Martial Mansion, and with the support of the Evil God Sect, he horizontally transformed to the related Evil Profession, able to exert the Evil Golden Bell Shield with the power of Martial Dao True Essence to reach five layers or even six layers.

That was his most formidable aspect, and also the capital for him to contend with Shen Hex.

For ordinary professionals, at least Tier Five Cultivation was needed to break his five-six layers Evil Golden Bell Shield.

But Shen Hex is not an ordinary professional.

Killing Life and Cutting Karma, Saintly Walk Without Regret!

The Saint Walker profession is the result of Shen Hex’s lifetime accumulation during the Martial Dynasty, transforming a piece of the world into a heaven-altering profession, with extremely powerful quality and intensity, Tier Three already involved in advanced world forces like Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi, Celestial Dao Authority.

Its Killing Life and Cutting Karma, Saintly Walk Without Regret, apart from the sensing of karmic sin, everything else enhances one’s Power of Righteousness, and the damage effect to evil karmic sin.

Moreover, with the exclusive profession weapon "Slaying Karma," breaking Zheng Zhong’s Evil Power-consolidated Evil Golden Bell Shield was simply too easy.

Thus, Zheng Zhong died, just one saber and he died.

...

Although Zhong Qin didn’t understand all the intricacies, she could tell the power of the Saint Walker profession.

Aside from other things, having exclusive items for a Tier Three profession is already quite impressive.

As a Tier Four Professional, Zhong Qin also has her Professional Items, which is the Divine Martial Manual made through "Xingyi Divine Martial," but it’s not exclusive, nor is it particularly powerful. It can only enhance one’s mastery in Xingyi Fist and Xingyi Divine Martial.

Even so, this Divine Martial Manual has brought Zhong Qin considerable gains, even supporting her in establishing a high-level martial hall, attracting apprentices and amassing funds.

Ordinary Professional Items are already like this, which makes it apparent just how powerful exclusive Professional Items can be.

Exclusive means a restriction, a limitation that other Professionals cannot use, but it also signifies great power, one might even say that because of its strength, it bears such a limitation.

A profession with exclusive items undoubtedly belongs to high-quality professions, this is common knowledge among Professionals.

And a Tier Three Professional with exclusive items proves both potential and strength, no matter which organization they’re placed in, they will receive focused nurturing.

The Special Bureau is no exception. With the abilities of a Saint Walker, it’s practically a super weapon against the Evil God Sect. As long as the Special Bureau’s leadership isn’t impaired, they will certainly nurture them greatly.

If developed smoothly, advancing in this direction continuously, entering the higher echelons of the Special Bureau, even the Empire’s high level, will be no problem in the future.

Shen Hex advanced to such a profession, and as a classmate, friend, and thigh-hugging pendant sister, Zhong Qin is very happy for him.

But after the joy comes concern: "Did you report this profession?"

Shen Hex nodded: "Of course I reported it."

He didn’t hide the information of the Saint Walker from Zhong Qin because he had long intended to reveal it.

In such a world, if you don’t show some value, why would others choose to nurture you?

Though the career path can be obtained through Zhuang Zhou’s Dream of the Butterfly, professional experience requires the body to toil in the real world.

Therefore, Shen Hex decided to reveal some value to obtain nurturing from the Special Bureau, since he’s been eyeing those Secret Techniques and various Spiritual Objects in the merit exchange library for a while.

The performance of the Saint Walker allows him to obtain these things more quickly.

It’s just...

"Be careful!"

Zhong Qin lowered her voice, even glanced around: "The Evil God Sect is all-pervasive, even up to the high levels of the Empire, they have insiders. Reporting this profession might earn you focused nurturing but may also draw attention from the Evil God Sect, potentially placing you on the assassination list, similar to the Evil God attack at Tianbei Second Middle School before."

Shen Hex nodded: "Don’t worry, I have a handle on it."

Danger?

There will certainly be danger.

But without taking risks, nothing can succeed.

Don’t just look at geniuses being assassinated and then think that a tall tree in a forest is inevitably blown down by the wind.

Consider how many unfortunates die on the battlefield or in unknown corners without even qualifying to be assassinated.

The death rate of geniuses compared to cannon fodder is far from equal, and the Human Empire hasn’t been rotted to that extent.

If it truly gets to that point, then Yunlan Star surely won’t hold, and Shen Hex would eventually have to open the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms to escape.

Anyway, since running is inevitable, why not fleece some wool before fleeing?

...

Thus, that night in the Tianbei Suburbs.

A place unknown to the public, a few gathered there.

"The Special Bureau has eradicated several of our bases again!"

"Should we reduce our activity frequency?"

"They have further lowered the merit exchange prices, causing our people to hunt us down like rabid dogs for merit rewards."

Several hooded figures in black robes spoke under dim lighting.

At the front, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, a silent presence faced away from the others.

He too was dressed in black, but not with a hooded cloak, presenting his clear and striking face, a man handsome to the verge of enchantment.

"The action cannot be stalled!"

Facing everyone’s words, he calmly responded, yet with an attitude not allowing objections.

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent.

After a long pause, one finally spoke: "Could we make a retaliatory move? Recently, the Special Bureau recruited a newcomer who, in one month, swept through over forty of our and other sects’ bases, even killing five Divine Descendants, posing a great threat!"

"I’ve investigated him."

The young man’s expression remained unchanged: "His profession should be highly targeted, otherwise, he couldn’t defeat several Tier Five Divine Descendants as a Tier Four. I’ve had the insiders in the Special Bureau investigate, and found his file is already classified as top secret."

"Top secret?"

The others’ eyes tightened: "That must be a high-quality rare profession, so targeted against us, if he grows, he’ll be a tremendous threat to us."

"He must be eliminated!"

Exchanging glances, they reached a consensus directly.

The young man gave little more speech: "I’ll handle this, continue the plan accordingly, the plan must proceed smoothly at any cost!"

"Understood!"

"Go now!"

The secret meeting concluded here.

The group hurriedly left, leaving the young man alone, gazing at the starry, heavy night sky murmuring: "Shen Hex...?"
