Infinite Professions

Chapter 300 - 161: Five Swords

"This sword... Ninth-tier?"

"Ah!!!"

Feeling the sharp edge left by the sword artifact, and the terrifying pain within his chest, the Blood God Envoy let out a scream and desperately activated his cultivation techniques, frantically throwing out all sorts of life-saving measures.

Blood Sea Clone Technique!

Blood God Rebirth Technique!

Second Primordial Spirit, Outer Body Incarnation!

Tribulation Puppet, Life Replacement Puppet!

As a high-ranking member of the Blood God Sect, a genuine Tier Eight Cultivator and Seventh-rank Professional, he had many life-saving methods and had survived multiple purges by the Yunlan Military and the Special Bureau.

But this time...

Useless, useless, all useless.

Whether it was Evil God Technique, incarnation methods, or innate superpower, at this moment, they all lost efficacy, akin to a mud cow sinking into the sea, without the slightest response.

The sea of blood has an end, and the Blood God has no life!

An unmatched edge appeared horizontally within the body, terrifying sword marks blossomed in his chest, finally, amidst the ghastly spurting blood light, his head and neck flipped over from above the chest, splitting into two parts, and the rolling sea of blood also vanished, restoring to the original urban scene.

The formation broke, and looking again at the battlefield, only a corpse whose chest was split lay dead on the ground, vigor completely depleted, flesh and blood all gone.

Shen Hex flipped his hand to recover the sword and strode forward steadily.

At the same time, deep within the Blood Nest, around the giant cocoon.

"Ninth-tier sword artifact?"

The male envoy’s eyes narrowed, the female envoy also frowned: "Such power?"

They were not surprised that the other party had a Ninth-tier sword artifact, although high-tier weapon and treasure are extremely precious, that is for ordinary professionals.

For a genius like him who can battle across realms, defeating Tier Eight as a Tier Seven, possessing one or two pieces of divine weapon is natural, unremarkable.

But the power of this Ninth-tier sword artifact...

"The Blood God Envoy cultivated the Blood God Secret Scripture, with his cultivation reaching the Eight Gates Realm, and having the occupational bonus from the Blood God lineage, even a Ninth-tier sword artifact is hard to take his life, let alone killing him in one slash."

"This sword... is extraordinary, seems to restrain the power of the Blood God!"

"Not restraining the power of the Blood God, but restraining the vitality of flesh and blood!"

"Specialized against flesh and blood, with lethal effect?"

"Then let the Evil Spirit Envoy intercept him!"

"No, such foundation, surely formed by cultivating various techniques, according to the principle of Yin and Yang harmoniously balancing strength and softness, since he has a sword that kills flesh and blood, he certainly also has a Soul Destruction and Spirit Extinction skill, sending the Evil Spirit Envoy might be a one-way trip."

"Then..."

"Send the Demon Envoy, using Exotic Demon Technique to mimic Evil Spirit method to deceive him, definitely can delay for a moment."

Being from the Ten Thousand Mothers Sect, the two envoys quickly gained insight and immediately ordered targeted action.

Looking again at the battlefield ahead, Shen Hex steadily walks, sword qi swirling around, breaking the Blood Nest network.

Though preparing to strike directly, the opposing side employing such strategy, dispersing forces to intercept layer by layer, he doesn’t mind going along with it, gradually weakening the opponent’s combat strength.

After all, two fists can’t defeat four hands, even a fierce tiger can’t stand against a pack of wolves; if they all rush together, or gather power to stubbornly guard, he would indeed have some trouble.

Now it’s different, this layer upon layer interception, seemingly a rotary fierce battle to wear him down and delay time, but in actuality, it’s giving him an opportunity to break through one by one.

What’s the talk of fierce battle consumption in a single encounter?

Shen Hex steps onto the Blood Nest, sword qi swirling, not only severing the blood net but also breaking open many blood cocoons, releasing a large number of corpses and remnants from within, though occasionally, one or two powerful high-tier professionals manage to survive.

"Puff!!!"

With another burst, a gigantic blood cocoon opens, amidst the scarlet blood sludge, a point of gold light appears, surprisingly a Martial Artist with a golden battle body, eyes tightly shut, seated cross-legged within, faintly showing the shadow of a dragon elephant, yet already faltering, in grave danger.

Divine Power Martial Artist, Dragon Elephant Hall Master — Qin Hong!

He ultimately could not escape, suppressed by several Evil God’s Apostles together, trapped within this blood cocoon, slowly being refined as a "Blood Sacrifice".

Now able to escape the predicament, his tightly shut eyes immediately open, a gleam of light shoots out, his body surges up, using the last bit of strength to rush outward, without a moment’s hesitation.

His resolution is evident.

In the face of life and death, survival takes precedence, everything else is insignificant.

Shen Hex pays no heed and continues forward.

"Whoosh!!!"

Upon stepping forward, whirling dark wind arises, the scene changes again as if entering the Senluo Ghost Realm.

"Woo woo woo!"

Whistling dark wind, evil spirits appearing, seemingly real, seemingly unreal, and instantly transforming into a surging tidal wave of yin spirits, vaguely showing various banners waving.

Precisely the Evil Spirit Formation.

Although the Evil God Sect sounds somewhat "Western-style", that’s entirely a stereotype.

The divine cannot be named, Dao cannot be spoken, such existence has no conventional image, everyone sees it differently, it’s said that benevolent see benevolence, wise see wisdom.

Just as the Mother of All Things, perceptions vary according to different cultivator systems, Western system’s wizard sorcerers may see the Mother of All Things, Eastern system’s Daoist Cultivators may see the Profound Yin Dao Mother, Buddhist Cultivators perhaps see Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Therefore, these Evil God sects follow a "East-West combination" path, with all sorts of chaos, diverse styles, myriad strategies.

The previous sea of blood was like this, as is the current ghostly realm, showing traces of many systems.

But it doesn’t matter, dharma aspects are myriad, just illusions.

The key is the essence.

"Woo woo woo!"

The yin tide surges, evil spirits howl, straight towards the living, intending to swallow the primordial spirit and essence.

Shen Hex’s expression remains unchanged, only activating True Yuan, with a sweep of his sleeve, a brilliant sword light emerges.
