Chapter 171 Chapter 131: The Third Special Ingredient! The Second Task to Breakthrough!
Translator: 549690339
Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi and the others were in a fierce fight with the Blood Guanyin, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
Zheng Cheng had already collided with the lowly professionist who was closely following him.
“Blue Star professionist!”
The leading lowly assassin roared in anger, his back ribs suddenly transformed into two sharp bone spurs, like a giant butterfly, ruthlessly lunging at Zheng Cheng.
“Damn, that’s ugly!”
Zheng Cheng cursed under his breath, stepping forward, his right fist fiercely smashed out!
With a “bang”, Zheng Cheng’s punch penetrated right through the chest of the lowly professionist assassin.
He reached out and grabbed, instantly crushing its heart into a lump of blood plasma.
Their figures crossed paths, Yunxiao Sword traced an arc on its neck, and the assassin’s body was severed!
[Skill cast successfully!]
[You have obtained a special ingredient: Lowly Professionist Heart Blood!]
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flickered, surprised: “The third special ingredient dissected from a lowly professionist?”
[Special Ingredient: Lowly Professionist Heart Blood]
[Quality: Five-star]
[Effect: Upon consumption, permanently increase 5 points of Constitution, 2 points of Strength, all Resistance +1% (except Light and Thunder), Chance of body mutation +0.0001%, limit 20 consumption.]
[Description: Humans who have mutated due to nuclear radiation influence, their flesh and spirit have been tormented and tested by nuclear radiation for many years, eventually mutating into a new race.]
[Note: After consumption, there is an extremely small chance that your own physical body will mutate, and the mutation site is not fixed. However, with the current star-level professionist flesh, when your own physical and mental strength reaches 110 points, you can avoid this type of mutation.]
Five-star level special ingredient!
With a thought, Zheng Cheng immediately stored it in his spatial ring.
At this time, the lowly professionist not far away also rushed over.
Zheng Cheng immediately pointed his bloodthirsty staff, and the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was released.
The three lowly professionists who were originally sprinting suddenly let out a scream, subconsciously hunched their bodies and one of them couldn’t bear it and vomited immediately.
[Your Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique proficiency has reached the maximum, upgraded to LV4!]
A sudden mechanical prompt sounded in his mind, and Zheng Cheng was pleased.
The Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique, his strongest controlling skill, had finally been upgraded to LV4.
Not only has its power increased, but even the target of the spell… has become 1-4 people!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Cheng stepped out, and the Yunxiao Sword slashed across.
The three lowly professionists let out a scream, one of them died on the spot, while the other two, regardless of the sludge gushing from their lower bodies, quickly retreated.
“Move so fast? Is it the leading team of the lowly professionists?”
He thought to himself, but he didn’t slow down at all. He quickly caught up and killed these two plebeians.
The Yunxiao Sword was swung out, and the Random Autopsy Technique immediately fell on the three corpses.
A lowly professionist spinal cord and a lowly professionist heart blood were obtained!
“Pfft!”
Suddenly, a breaking sound came from under Zheng Cheng’s feet. A lowly professionist who looked like a worm, with withered limbs and covered in dense tentacles, sprang out from the ground.
Two sharp crescent-shaped bone blades immediately stabbed at his head.
“Damn you, Blue Star professionist! Die…”
Before his words could finish, Zheng Cheng just stomped hard on the ground!
With a “boom”, the ground shook dramatically.
Centered on Zheng Cheng’s feet, an intricate crack appeared within a radius of more than ten meters.
The lowly professionist hidden under the ground had its body crushed directly, and fresh blood seeped out of the ground unceasingly.
The Random Autopsy Technique fell again, but this time, nothing was dissected.
“Kill!”
“Kill him!”
“Radiation One Blade Slash!”
“Ghost poison stab!”
Several more lowly assassins rushed up, their eyes murderous and their movements swift as lightning.
But… none of them matched Zheng Cheng’s speed!
Zheng Cheng’s figure flashed, with several illusions appearing in his original place, all rushing towards these lowly assassins.
“Pfft!”
“Ah!”
“Crack!”
Screams and the sound of weapons cutting through flesh constantly echoed. Zheng Cheng’s Yunxiao Sword emitted several rays of light, instantly dismembering these lowly professionists!
At this moment, his Strength attribute reached 120, and his Agility attribute was 85.
These groups of incompetent professional assassins couldn’t even catch up to him!
Just a few minutes later, these lowly assassins and professionists were all killed!
The soul force turned into rays of light and penetrated into Zheng Cheng’s body.
His level then skyrocketed to LV19!!!
The second breakthrough mission also came with it.
[Breakthrough Mission: Salvation]
[Mission Explanation: To become a qualified priest, in addition to saving the flesh of creatures, salvation must also be extended to the soul, to bring comfort to the soul of the creatures and return to the embrace of the Holy Light.]
[Mission Requirement: You need to rely on your skills and abilities to console wounded hearts or save lost souls and release (enlighten, transcend) them. Twenty souls, the more souls, the stronger the power and effect of the skills learned next.]
“Breakthrough mission? Salvation?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flickered, five days ago his level had already reached LV16.
His level had finally reached LV19 after a few days of leading the team and killing more than a dozen lowly professionists today.
He received the second breakthrough mission!
Save the soul? Console the soul?
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched, how the hell am I supposed to console a soul?
Does sending them off count?
Zheng Cheng’s change abilities, aside from surveillance, were all genuine attack abilities!
“Seems like it will be difficult to complete the second advancement task, but luckily I could obtain special food through random autopsy. Even if I don’t level up, my four dimensional attributes and strength will still improve.”
“What I lack are merely the upcoming profession skills…”
“Boom!”
As he cleared up the corpse, preparing to turn back, suddenly, the ground trembled violently.
Blood Guanyin!
Their battle had spread this far.
Blood Guanyin, towering above everything, was swept with snow and ice, slowing down its movements considerably.
Around it, an indomitable line of defense was formed by Chen Xiao, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and Zhu Chengyu, firmly blocking Blood Guanyin’s attacks.
With each punch that landed, countless pits were created on the ground.
The faces of Chen Xiao and Bai Jingqi were pale and they were covered in blood, but their eyes were still filled with murderous intent.
The two of them fought head-on, causing damage to the enemy and heavy injuries to themselves in the process.
On the other hand, Qin Zheng and Zhu Chengyu relied on their agility and speed, continuously seeking the weak points in Blood Guanyin, delivering critical blows!
From the original fifteen soul beasts they had, only five or six remained.
Three giant python soul beasts were decimated, and two giant radioactive worm soul beasts also fell apart and disappeared.
Now, only the Fishman BOSS with a dark heavy hammer and four or five giant python soul beasts remained, wandering around and attacking from time to time.
In addition, there was also a soul beast transformed by a professionist of the inferior race, hiding in the crowd and constantly approaching.
Behind them was the ranged attack formation composed of Yao Zhixue, Yang Haoran, Li Mei, Hao Zhao, and Jiang Muyun.
Ice blades, thunderbolts, arrows, and flames were launched continuously, causing extensive ripples on Blood Guanyin’s body.
In other words, Blood Guanyin was being beaten down by their team of ten.
This scenario surprised Zheng Cheng: “Blood Guanyin does not seem so formidable… why did Senior Xin Ruhuo warn us so severely?”
“Could there be some secret involved?”
“Boom!”
Another fist smashed down, creating a large pit on the ground with a lot of fresh blood gushing out.
“Blood… this is not the punch of Blood Guanyin, it’s the blood vessels in its body!”
“Each attack involves massive amounts of fresh blood…”
Zheng Cheng’s mind raced as he quickly charged towards Blood Guanyin!
Midway, he viciously pointed his Bloodthirsty Staff towards Blood Guanyin.
Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique!
Bizarre psychic fluctuations surged out, and after falling on Blood Guanyin, they quickly disappeared, like a clay ox entering the sea.
“As expected, it had no effect!”
Zheng Cheng managed to dodge a blood vessel projectile falling from the sky and pointed his Bloodthirsty Staff at it again.
Void Fire Burning!
The strange energy fluctuations fell on Blood Guanyin, and illusory flames erupted violently.
“Success?”
The surprised expression on Zheng Cheng’s face hadn’t faded when the illusory fire suddenly dissipated!
“What happened? It’s disappeared?”
“The Void Fire Burning technique did burn for one second, but it only proved that this creature called Blood Guanyin has its own consciousness.”
“Only creatures with consciousness can be affected by the Void Fire Burning technique.”
Zheng Cheng dashed past the dropping blood vessel attacks again.
“Could it be that Blood Guanyin has devoured countless inferior races, and the spirits of these deceased inferior races linger around it…”
“Boom!”
With a single step, his Yunxiao Sword struck Blood Guanyin’s body, slicing right into it!
“Is it a being of flesh and blood?”
Zheng Cheng became even more startled. At this moment, Chen Xiao also sprinted over, panting heavily.
“Brother Cheng! I can’t hold on much longer, help me out here!”
Zheng Cheng frowned: “Are you sure? If I give you an Adrenaline Excitement Technique, it’ll only last ten minutes.”
“Ten minutes is enough!”
Chen Xiao grit his teeth: “Ten minutes is enough for us to take down this big guy.”
“As long as we can escape here before the main force of the inferior races arrives!”
“Alright!”
Questioning no more and seeing the situation stabilizing, Zheng Cheng immediately threw an Adrenaline Excitement Technique onto Chen Xiao.
In a matter of moments, Chen Xiao’s whole demeanor changed dramatically.
With panting breaths and bright eyes reflecting the furious figure of Blood Guanyin, he dodged an attack from a blood vessel in a posture that he would not normally be able to perfect.
At the same time, he leapt up and stepped on the blood vessel. With an iron grip on a long knife, he rapidly rushed towards Blood Guanyin’s head.
“Boom!”
Mid-air, two more blood vessels fell, but Chen Xiao effortlessly dodged them.
Zhu Chengyu in the high skies saw this and his pupils constricted violently.
What’s happening, why had this Earth Knight’s speed become so fast?
And his instinct for battle was so acute, even in such perilous circumstances, he could evade the extensive attacks from Blood Guanyin?
Could it be that this Earth Knight named Chen Xiao was a natural-born warrior?
With a “boom”, another thick blood vessel fell, sliced into pieces by Bai Jingqi, who was soaked in blood, making him look like a blood-thirsty Asura.
“Zheng Cheng, give me one too!”
“No!”
Zheng Cheng immediately refused: “It only lasts for ten minutes, it’s not your turn yet!”
“Attack!”
