Starry Sky Professional

"Healer, marksman, warrior, assassin... a well-rounded squad composition."

"Not only that, but each of them possesses Dao Foundation combat strength. Working together, they can easily hunt ordinary Dao Foundation cultivators, and even contend with those at the later stages of the Dao Foundation realm..."

"Huh? Something's not right?"

Fang Xing, possessing the body of a green jade beetle, took another look at the vanguard squad of the Killing Life Sect and immediately noticed the problem:

"Although they are still in the Qi Sensing realm, they all seem to have secondary professions... No wonder each of them has Dao Foundation combat strength even at the Qi Sensing level..."

Fang Xing couldn't help but think of himself.

Back then, when he was at the ninth level of Qi Sensing and concurrently a level 9 Druid, he dared to fight against Dao Foundation cultivators.

"If these ancient Daoist lineages, Qi Sensing, Dao Foundation, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit cultivators are collectively called Old Law cultivators, then those with concurrent professions are 'New Law'? Could it be that in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, the New Law is the mainstream?"

"No, they seem to have the aura of strange objects on them?"

"Even if they encounter Yin Spirit True Persons, they might be able to entangle them for a moment and transmit information before dying..."

Such a highly configured squad is well-suited to infiltrate enemy territory as a sharp knife, completing a series of tactics such as obstruction, beheading, and reconnaissance.

"There are several such teams near Green Wood Ridge... Almost all the fleeing cultivators are within their interception range."

"This proves one point: You have to make a run for it early! If you're late, you're gambling with your life..."

Fang Xing didn't watch any longer, ordering the green jade beetle to return to the Green Wood Ridge area.

But the Killing Life Sect is a bunch of lunatics, and it's really hard to judge what they'll do.

...

Fang Xing's wait didn't last long.

Several days later.

A squad arrived outside Green Wood Ridge.

"Killing Life Sect?"

Outside the mountain ridge, a giant tree trembled, and as countless leaves fluttered, a human face appeared on the tree trunk: "You should know that Green Wood Old Ancestor has already run away. We remaining cultivators are willing to submit, as long as you let us continue to stay in Green Wood Ridge..."

The leader of this squad was a black-armored guard with one eye missing, wearing a black eye patch. Hearing this, he immediately sneered: "You ancient Daoist lineage cultivators are really daydreaming... The Bishop taught us to treat enemies without mercy or compassion. Your only end is to be destroyed by us!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his long sword and waved it gently.

A crescent-shaped sword light swept past the ancient tree, splitting the tree trunk in two.

...

On the mountain ridge.

Fang Xing was a little surprised: "They don't even bother to accept surrender first and then kill the surrendered?"

"Attack!"

Just as he was surprised, the squad leader launched a probing attack.

Puff puff!

Black arrows shot out, landing on the natural barrier, flashing a series of sparks.

"Oh?"

Fang Xing raised his hand, and a vine grabbed an arrow and handed it over: "Magic-breaking metal? Even Dao Foundation cultivators might be shot to death by a volley of arrows?"

"Since you're here, then don't leave."

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

Buzz buzz!

Outside, in the sky, two 'insect clouds' suddenly appeared.

They were countless dense cold white ants and green jade beetles.

"Poisonous insects!"

"Prepare for defense!"

Accompanied by the chanting of black-robed accompanying priests, a strange barrier unfolded.

But it was useless!

Green jade beetles pounced on the barrier, destroying it in a few bites!

Breaking formations and concealment!

These were the innate skills of the green jade beetle!

Chī chī!

Cold white ants flew into the army formation, constantly spewing cold air.

In an instant, ice sculptures appeared.

"Impossible!"

The squad leader wearing the black eye patch waved the long sword in his hand, the spiritual light on his body like a flame. Seeing the overwhelming swarm of insects, he couldn't help but fall into despair: "Why? They clearly escaped, yet they left behind such a powerful force?"

At this moment, a strong chill came from the hilt of the sword.

He stiffly turned his neck and saw that his own long sword was covered with cold white ants at some point, and the entire sword had become an ice pillar.

Not only that!

The ice continued to spread along his arm, to his torso, limbs...

In an instant, the squad leader also turned into an ice sculpture, leaving only his eyeballs able to barely move.

Not long after, a group of people walked out of the Green Wood Ridge formation, led by Fei Yong.

"Carefully move these ice sculptures back, don't damage them."

Fei Yong's voice trembled as he spoke.

Seeing his elder's methods was one aspect, and another was not expecting Fang Xing to be so reckless.

Facing the Killing Life Sect, he directly attacked!

Although these ice sculptures were not necessarily dead, capturing them all was still a very serious matter.

Unfortunately, he could only obey orders.

Not long after, the human-shaped ice sculpture wearing the black eye patch was moved in front of Fang Xing.

Fang Xing smiled and raised his hand.

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and the ice sculpture melted.

The squad leader shivered. Just as he wanted to question something, he saw two green lights in Fang Xing's eyes.

He immediately fell into a daze, and his actions slowed down.

"Your name? Position?"

"Hei Yuan, Killing Life Sect Expeditionary Force squad leader..."

Under the effect of the Soul Confusion Technique, Hei Yuan's eyes were blurred, and he answered every question.

Fang Xing asked a few questions and was a little surprised: "This time, the Killing Life Sect has really invested heavily..."

Even though Hei Yuan was only a squad leader, he knew that the Killing Life Sect was constantly investing power in the outer lands.

They even had a divine artifact!

Fang Xing was also very interested in the 'New Law' of the Killing Life Sect.

After asking, he learned that they also had the concept of 'professions'. For example, Hei Yuan belonged to the 'Protector Warrior'!

In the army, there were also accompanying priests, archers, swordsmen, shieldmen, etc., each of whom was extremely elite.

Because these profession levels could be added to the Qi Sensing realm!

In fact, Hei Yuan had an advanced profession besides 'Protector Warrior'—'Destruction Warrior'!

'The Killing Life Sect's philosophy is a bit extreme...'

Fang Xing looked into Hei Yuan's eyes: 'The ultimate destruction is not only to destroy others, but also to destroy oneself.'

'To advance to 'Destruction Warrior', one must undergo a cruel 'Entering Nirvana Ritual', sacrificing a part of one's own body to the Great Destruction God. This Hei Yuan chose to sacrifice one of his eyes...'

'This is only the initial Entering Nirvana Ritual. More advanced Entering Nirvana Rituals require destroying one's own internal organs, and even all vitality...'

'After destroying everything about oneself in this way, one will die... and then, through divine grace, be reborn from death, becoming a 'Corpse Dissolution Immortal', which is a demigod status in the human world...'

'According to rumors, the Killing Life Sect's leader, and even the top figures of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, are demigod combat power...'

'Demigod, huh?'

Fang Xing murmured.

This realm seemed difficult to achieve and required some special conditions.

Just as he was pondering, his natural perception had already informed him that a powerful enemy was approaching.

"You take these ice sculptures down and take good care of them."

Fang Xing immediately called Fei Yong and instructed him.

In fact, these cultivators had no use in the following battle, whether for either side!

The only effort was probably to ensure that they didn't die!

Fang Xing flew into the air above Green Wood Ridge and saw a white light flash, and a woman in a white robe with graceful bearing appeared.

Her body was surrounded by a Yang and harmonious thought, bringing him pressure that was vaguely similar to Green Wood Old Ancestor.

"White Dharma King..."

Fang Xing spoke.

"An Yin Spirit True Person dares to resist the Killing Life Sect's army?"

White Dharma King giggled, but there was no joy in her eyes, only an indescribable coldness: "This ridge will surely be burned to ashes!"

Fang Xing's expression also turned cold: "Those who destroy nature will be punished by nature!"

These Killing Life Sect believers were really hateful!

He had somewhat underestimated the concept of 'killing life'. Perhaps in the other party's eyes, the Green Wood Ridge, rich in vitality, was a rare place for sacrifice.

In that case, there was no room for negotiation.

"Pretentious."

White Dharma King made a magic seal, and white lotus petals bloomed around her.

From a distance, she looked like an elf walking out of a giant white lotus flower.

Relying on these illusory and holy lotus petals to protect her, White Dharma King directly entered the Green Wood Ridge area.

—Natural Barrier!

Her beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, and she felt the oppression of nature from the void.

"This... this doesn't seem to be the Soldiers from Trees and Grass formation. The suppression on me is actually even more severe."

However, before White Dharma King could speak again, an even more terrifying change occurred.

The white lotus petals surrounding her collapsed in an instant.

—Magic Restriction Domain!

White Dharma King's face changed, and she felt the oppression brought to her by the 'Holy Land in the Forest', which was even more terrifying than some of the formations she had encountered in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

"Not good, I was a little careless."

Her beautiful eyes turned and stared at Fang Xing.

She had carelessly entered the formation. Now that her strength was suppressed and she was trapped... the only way was to instantly capture and kill the person in charge of the formation!

Coincidentally, this person in charge of the formation had low strength and was only in the Yin Spirit realm!

"Go!"

She took a step, and her feet were like lotus flowers blooming with each step. She seemed to have instantly traveled through the void and arrived next to Fang Xing.

A fair wrist with a golden bell fell gently, like Guanyin lowering her arm, about to capture Fang Xing.

But in the next instant.

The animal skin youth in the place where Fang Xing was originally located had disappeared without a trace.

Replaced by a white jade dragon more than five zhang long!

As the Druid continued to level up, Fang Xing's dragon body was also constantly increasing.

At this time, his dragon body was as thick as a bucket, his white jade scales had amazing defense, and he also possessed the giant power of a dragon!

Whoosh!

The surrounding water mist rose, and Fang Xing's dragon form was filled with the majesty of a dragon. His tail was raised high and then whipped!

Pa!

White Dharma King screamed and was directly whipped from the sky into the ground by the dragon's 'Divine Dragon Tail Swing'.

Rumble!

The earth rumbled.

Then, several treants raised their feet, and terrifying giant force continued to stomp down.

—War Stomp!
