My profession is too unique.

Chapter 88 The Assault Arrives
"Hmm?" The priest's spirits lifted, and his dark eyes involuntarily turned to look. "Who, who is it!?"

All these resources have been invested in Nanfeng City, all for that delicious soul.

“Su Chen!” Zhou Xian answered almost through gritted teeth.

He was already a third-tier professional, and although he became a follower of the Black Tortoise, his mental resilience still allowed him to maintain a certain degree of autonomy in his thinking.

Su Chen still remembers the hatred for the murder of his son.

"Su Chen?" The priest's initially excited expression gradually darkened. He was familiar with the name and had long since ruled it out as a suspect. He frowned. "How could it be him?"

"Isn't he a follower of the Faceless Demons?"

“There must be a mistake.” Zhou Xian also paused, some doubts still unanswered, but now there was extremely strong evidence to support his claims:
"He was unharmed during Ying Feng's test and was taken in as a student by Xia Hanshi, so he is definitely not a follower of the Faceless Ghost."

"I have long heard of Xia Hanshi. For him to go to such lengths to take him as a student, his talent must be of the highest quality. He is most likely the delicious soul that the Holy Lord covets."

"We were actually deceived?" Upon hearing the evidence, the priest's face turned grim. "The target has been right under our noses all along."

He hesitated for a moment, glanced back, and shook his head: "It's too late. Since he's under Xia Hanshi's protection, it'll be difficult to get him through normal means. We still have to overturn this place."

"Zhou Xian, there are still a few places where the sacrificial arrays haven't been completed. Go there as soon as possible," he ordered.

"Yes." Zhou Xian hesitated, wanting to ask if there was still any hope of reviving his son.

But for some reason, after seeing the black statue behind the priest, that thought suddenly disappeared.

Compared to finding a delicious and palatable soul for the Holy Lord, what does it matter whether his son is resurrected or not?

Zhou Xian left in a hurry.

“Su Chen, Su Chen…” The priest chewed on the name, his brows gradually relaxing. “It’s good that he hasn’t left Nanfeng yet. The Holy Lord will be very satisfied.”

But in the blink of an eye, the priest's expression changed drastically, and he looked up at the sky!
boom!
Golden flames, like falling meteors, blew off the overhead canopy, and the intense heat hit us in the face.

"It's really here!?"

Yang Yan, who was not far away, was deeply shaken.

Xia Hanshi looked down at the priest sitting cross-legged on the ground, a sinister smile on his face. "Got you!"

"Xia Hanshi!?"

The priest on the ground had a ferocious expression, both panicked and incredulous. "You, how could you have found this place!"

This plan was known only to him and Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian had become a follower of the Black Tuo sect and would never betray them.

"Because of the help and reminder from a person with a righteous heart." Xia Hanshi said meaningfully, looking at the black statue behind him and following the black, oily patterns.

His face instantly turned cold and menacing, "The sacrificial array... it's truly despicable."

The priest was furious and shocked. The ritual array was not yet complete, but he had already put in a lot of effort. Now was the time when stability was most needed.

Just one day, just one day!

How did Xia Hanshi manage to find this place?!

……

boom!
"So, what is that?"

Zhou Xian, who had not gone far, suddenly felt the ground shake. When he looked back, he saw that golden flames had covered half of the sky.

"Xia, Xia Hanshi!"

He cried out in alarm, "How did he find this place? Could it be that the priest... betrayed us!?"

"Holy Lord!" He instinctively ran forward, but then suddenly stopped, veins throbbing on his forehead: "No, going now would be suicide."

"The sacrificial array was not completed, the priest could not escape, and the Holy Lord could not descend, but..."

He looked in another direction, his expression gradually turning grim. "Perhaps this is also a rare opportunity."

.........

"Brother, brother! You absolutely have to come home with me today." Sun Tai stood at the door of the room, holding Su Chen's hand tightly and saying repeatedly, "Your sister-in-law has cooked a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you."

"If you don't come back with me, I won't be able to explain myself to her."

Sun Tai has been feeling very pleased with himself these past few days.

He rose rapidly from Minister of the Interior to become one of the two Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Inspection.

His former superior became the city lord, and Brother Su became the judge's student. Although City Lord Yuan was somewhat saddened, he secretly chuckled a few times.

Not to mention the other vice minister, even Du Jingming, who had already been appointed as the Minister of Supervision, had to give him some face.

The reason, of course, is the young man in front of me.

"Since that's the case... then let's go." Su Chen couldn't refuse the invitation, so he went back, tidied up a bit, and changed his clothes.

As the two walked, Sun Tai kept rambling on: "Staying in the room all the time is going to be so boring. We should go out and walk around more. What's the point of advancing in our career level? Isn't it to enjoy life better?"

Su Chen chuckled and said as he walked, "I'm not at the point where I can enjoy life yet. But when that time comes, don't worry, brother, you'll enjoy everything you deserve."

The two boarded the elevator, and Sun Tai nodded: "Sigh, that's true. Life is short. As a second-tier professional, I only live a dozen years longer than ordinary people."

"However, our original city lord was really ruthless. His brother and his whole family have been imprisoned and sent to Yingfeng."

"If we don't ruthless enough, his whole family will be in jail," Su Chen said calmly.

“That’s true.” Sun Tai sighed, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a loud rumble, followed by an unpleasant creaking sound from the elevator shaft, and the elevator quickly descended.

Su Chen's expression changed slightly, and he steadied himself instantly. Sun Tai reacted quickly as well, his fat muscles suddenly tightening as he gripped the metal elevator box with both hands.

Sun Tai's body continued to shrink, his fat body quickly transforming into bronze-colored, muscular muscles, and his clothes became loose and baggy. Su Chen was quite surprised, as this was the first time he had seen Old Sun in this fighting style.

boom!
But then his arm suddenly pierced through the elevator car and disappeared into the wall, and the falling elevator suddenly stopped.

They didn't know which floor they stopped on, but Sun Tai, with a domineering attitude, tore open the elevator door, and the two of them rushed out.

"Damn it, how can an elevator have an accident?" Sun Tai cursed, but then he saw Su Chen's serious expression and noticed that the warning lights in the corridor were flashing continuously.

Rumble!
Another roar followed, and intense arcs of electricity erupted from the elevator shaft, instantly filling the entire floor.

"Someone dares to attack the Surveillance Headquarters?" Sun Tai looked astonished, dodging the spreading arcs of electricity as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, but was surprised to find that they did not have much killing power.

"Su Chen!"

Shouts echoed from the elevator shaft, continuous and forceful. Su Chen's expression changed slightly, "Zhou Xian!?"

This guy's timing is too perfect; Old Xia and the others had only been gone for a short while.

No, he must have discovered that Lao Xia and the others were not there, so he turned around and came here.

“It’s… Zhou Xian?” Sun Tai also realized it, his face turned pale, and his body “duang” turned back into a fat man.

"court death!"

But a roar also came from the elevator shaft above, and cyan flames surged down, colliding fiercely with the lightning.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness Minister Du is here..." Sun Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen frowned. Du Jingming had been forced into office, and in terms of sheer strength, he shouldn't be a match for Zhou Xian.

Boom! !

A violent collision erupted from the elevator shaft, and a gale swept in, carrying arcs of lightning that burst forth from the elevator door gaps to every floor.

"Su Chen!" Zhou Xian roared again, as if he were insane.

"He seems really off." Without hesitation, Su Chen turned and ran, with Sun Tai close behind.

"Don't even think about running away!"

For some reason, even though Zhou Xian was still at the bottom, he seemed to be able to sense Su Chen's movements.

Boom!

At the end of the corridor, the stuck elevator car suddenly exploded, and a figure shrouded in arcs of electricity rushed over at top speed, his face ferocious, his eyes fixed only on Su Chen.

"Get past me first!" Du Jingming followed closely behind, his pupils turning blue-red. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Xian, his five fingers simultaneously spewing out blue flames to form a large net.

"Get lost!" Zhou Xian's body exploded, turning into arcs of electricity, and instantly escaped from Du Jingming's grasp.

"Want to run?"

Su Chen stopped abruptly, watching as Zhou Xian's ferocious face materialized amidst the surging arcs of electricity around him.

Sun Tai looked horrified, his heart pounding.

Are they these seemingly harmless electric arcs underfoot?

Su Chen instantly realized why Zhou Xian could pinpoint his location from such a distance.

Boom!

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, crimson arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the surface of the green rope that Su Chen spun out, bursting forth.

Snapped!
A bright blue arc of electricity intertwined with scarlet lightning, piercing a huge hole in the surrounding walls. Zhou Xian, who had not yet condensed into a human form, was directly dispersed, and energy ripples continued to spread.

"Good heavens!" Sun Tai felt a chill run down his spine. He felt his hair stand on end from Su Laodi's attack. If it had landed on him, he would most likely have been charred.

"Watch out!" Sun Tai exclaimed as a thick arm formed from arcs of electricity slammed down beside Su Chen.

In the blink of an eye, the azure scale armor covering his entire body rapidly piled up on his shoulders, with the [Wind and Thunder Barrier] attached to it, and indigo elements surging.

boom! !

Su Chen was blasted away, crashing through the walls on both sides, sending dust billowing everywhere.

"Brother!" Sun Tai's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

"Zhou Xian!" Du Jingming arrived just in time, and a fierce gust of wind erupted, dispersing the arcs of electricity that filled the surroundings.

"Cough cough..." Su Chen swayed as he stood up, but only coughed a few times. Compared to the last time he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, this time he was simply knocked away and was not seriously injured.

"Brother, brother..." Sun Tai rushed over and helped Su Chen up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Chen was alright, but he was also quite surprised.

If it were him, he would be dead in an instant.

The gap between ranks is like a chasm.

"Actually... he's alright." Zhou Xian's figure gradually solidified, and it was obvious that his breathing had become much more rapid.

The fact that it can be transformed into an electric arc and moved rapidly places a considerable burden on it.

The arms had actually grown back. Su Chen looked at Zhou Xian's two perfectly intact arms.

“A fine suit of armor…” Zhou Xian noticed the blue scales under Su Chen’s tattered clothes, and his expression grew even angrier. The reason the other party was able to escape last time was probably because of this suit of armor.

But this time, even though his injuries had healed, he still couldn't kill him with a single blow. Could this armor be a third-tier item?

"I'll try my best to stop him. You guys run. The others should be here to help soon." Du Jingming stared intently at Zhou Xian, stood in front of Su Chen and the other man, and lowered his voice.
