Under One Person: God Profiler

The silver needle fell to the ground.

Liao Fan stared in disbelief, "Brother Xia, your eyes are amazing! You can see that."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "I've practiced it."

Liao Fan sighed deeply.

The silver needles that fell to the ground had wisps of blue energy at their bases that connected to Liao Fan's five fingers.

Liao Fan flicked his fingers as if manipulating a puppet, and the silver needles floated up again.

"Brother Xia, be careful."

As Liao Fan spoke, the silver needles began to fly, and blue Qi formed a five-pointed star shape as it drifted towards Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan became interested when he saw the Qi lines solidify. He was about to test how resilient the golden light he had refined was.

Xia Linyuan twirled the flower stick on the spot, and the golden light wrapped around the wax stick grew longer and thinner with each swing, gradually turning into golden light and then into golden threads, which Xia Linyuan swung around like a whip being swung in a circle.

When the gold line met Liao Fan's blue line, the five-pointed star instantly looked like it had been punched in the stomach, its center denting in.

The golden thread, passing through the five-pointed star, continued its relentless advance, heading straight for Liao Fan.

Upon seeing this, Liao Fan immediately covered his head and lay prone on the ground.

The golden thread grazed overhead and struck the wall, sending wood chips flying.

Liao Fan glanced at the ditch on the wall, broke out in a cold sweat, and raised his hand with a look of lingering fear.

"Taoist Master... I surrender..."

The Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain glanced down at Liao Fan and said calmly, "Liao Fan concedes defeat. Xia Linyuan wins!"

Xia Linyuan then withdrew his golden light and stepped forward, saying, "Brother Liao, I hope I didn't hurt you just now..."

Seeing that Xia Linyuan's expression didn't seem feigned, Liao Fan finally spoke up, saying, "I thought you were going to kill me."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "How could that be? If you hadn't dodged it just now, I would have canceled the golden light as well."

"I only tried to see how powerful this move was after I saw you dodge it."

Liao Fan tossed his blue hair aside and exclaimed in surprise, "Did you just develop this move?!"

Xia Linyuan: "..."

'That was actually a move?'

Seeing that Xia Linyuan was silent, Liao Fan assumed it was his secret, gave him a knowing look, and whispered, "Are you saving this trick for Zhang Lingyu?"

Xia Linyuan: "...Is that so?"

"I knew it!"

Liao Fan chuckled. "Don't go too far, it won't do any good if it affects the later operations."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly and said nothing more. As a veteran of the company, he naturally knew what was important.

The two stepped down, and the second round of the Earthly Branches competition began.

Xia Linyuan was just about to go up on stage to watch the rest of the competition when his phone beeped.

Dou Le: [Kid, check if there are any members of the Quanxing Sect at the competition venue.]

Xia Linyuan: [What's wrong?]

Dou Le: [Your master and I captured a Quanxing from East China on the only way up the mountain. He had been disguised by the Domain Poison.]

[He was so frightened upon seeing Lao Xiao that he reverted to his true form.]

The existence of the Domain Poison makes me suspect that some members of the Quanxing sect have already infiltrated the mountain.

Xia Linyuan: [Have you interrogated them?]

Dou Le: [...]

Xia Linyuan: [...] Understood.

The back mountain of Longhu is covered with a lush forest.

Elegant jazz music filled the air.

An elegant gentleman holds a sharp blade in his hand. Before him lies a man with a pockmarked face and completely naked, bound and gagged.

An elegant gentleman lightly sliced ​​a sharp blade across the man's face. Bright red liquid slowly flowed out.

"Wang Zhe. After killing his wife, who was an ordinary person, he joined the Quanxing Society. He then killed several still attractive street women, skinned them, dug out their bones, and recorded the incident as a memento."

"Hehehe..."

"A beautiful face is just a rotten shell; true beauty lies in the bone, not the skin."

"You know a lot..."

"Woooooooo..."

"Hehe, you're pretty good..."

"It should be classified as sea bass. It's very delicious."

An elegant man, wielding a sharp blade, plunged it into Wang Mazi's skull and slashed down! Blood splattered everywhere.

Wang Zhe kicked wildly at the ground, creating a crater. His crimson eyes widened instantly, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

The tree rustled, and a leaf landed on Wang Zhe's eyeball.

"Ugh! Waaaaah~ Waaaah!"

The sharp blade sliced ​​from the top of the head to the chin, revealing the stark white bones.

"Bass has few bones, making it easy to remove the bones."

The elegant man remained focused, speaking calmly. Wang Zhe's wails seemed to have no effect whatsoever. In fact, they even seemed to resonate with the music playing in the forest.

The elegant man hummed a little tune as he slashed the sharp blade in his hand outwards from the bridge of his nose.

Plop, tick-tock.

Pieces of flesh and blood fell to the ground.

Time passed by, bit by bit...

The person tied to the tree had half of their body reduced to bones.

But he is still alive.

Glucose and oxygen kept him conscious.

In ancient times, there was a form of punishment called "lingchi" (凌迟), which involved cutting a person into a thousand pieces. Skilled executioners could scrape the body down to the bone without stopping the person from breathing.

Clearly, this elegant man is an excellent executor.

Half an hour later, the bass was deboned.

Fresh, tender fish meat was piled on both sides.

Dou Le walked over. "All done?"

"Ah."

Xiao Zizai replied in a low voice, "How is Xiao Yuan doing?"

"Found it. It's impossible that the Domain Poison only disguised himself as one person." Old Dou sighed as he looked at the pile of fish and meat.

"Really."

Xiao Zizai said indifferently, but the corners of his mouth were already wildly upturned.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Zizai suddenly remembered something, and looked at Dou Le with a smile, speaking in a kind tone.

"Old Dou, give me a list of all the members of the Quanxing gang that has been recorded."

Dou Le was taken aback: "You haven't asked me for this in a long time. Aren't you going to work with Xia Linyuan?"

Xiao Zizai shook his head: "He has found a way to release his stress."

"It's not good for him to always be learning from me..."

Dou Le glanced at Xiao Zizai with a curious expression.

Xiao Zizai noticed Dou Le's gaze and smiled slightly: "Those who gave me life are unacceptable, those who raised me are unacceptable, my parents are already deceased. Those who gave me life are unknown, and I dare not have any descendants. As for the rest, none are unacceptable..."

Chapter 41 The Class Teacher's Gaze

Xia Linyuan looked at the various people on the stage, each wearing a different mask. Although Xia Linyuan could tell whether a person's face was fake, he still needed to judge the root of the problem by their words and actions.

Searching among so many demons and monsters is quite difficult.

Xia Linyuan couldn't help but close his eyes and gently press the Jingming acupoint.

We need to find outside help.

Xia Linyuan glanced around. Aside from the shouts, there were only a few experts analyzing the battle situation. Then he saw the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain maintaining order.

Xia Linyuan's eyes lit up. He slowly stepped forward and said, "Xia Linyuan greets Daoist Master."

The Taoist priest was tall, but his eyes were small and narrow, giving him a simple and honest appearance: "What can I do for you?"
