Starry Sky Professional Directory 54
Chapter 54: Slaughter (Seeking Recommendations)
In a rented apartment in the Happy Home Community, blood stained the floor, vaguely forming some kind of ritualistic pattern. More dark red blood flowed from the kitchen and bathroom, belonging to the apartment’s original owner; their fate was easy to imagine.
In the living room stood two tall figures. Their bodies were strong, their features sharp, yet they stood motionless like statues, resembling two silent granite guards.
“Ah!”
A scream pierced the silence. In the center of the ritual, Guo Peipei, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes, clutching her head and crying out, “Fang Xing… he actually… that’s the third level of the Ghost God Blade—Battling the Ghost God? That strike… that strike… no, that’s not right, it was in his dream, his home turf, so he could push his Ghost God Blade beyond its limits… the greater the heart, the higher the martial arts…”
Dreams are naturally different from reality, allowing for all sorts of incredible things. Especially in one’s own dreams! Everyone is a demiurge!
Guo Peipei only awakened a low-level dream-entering ability and didn’t fully understand dreams. But she knew she had failed! The great master she had simulated using her imagination and the sect’s scriptures couldn’t intimidate Fang Xing and was instead completely defeated!
“Martial Dao willpower, it’s truly that powerful?” Guo Peipei’s face was pale, her forehead throbbing. “No, he might report this to the Prevention Bureau; this place isn’t safe anymore, I need to leave…”
Bang!
At that moment, a loud bang came from the door! Like a cannon blast, the apartment’s alloy door was blown away by a perfectly executed Bow Stance Cannon Fist. Amidst the dust, a dark figure dashed into the apartment, drawing a sword with a piercing shriek and immediately attacking!
This person was Fang Xing! After using a ‘Seeking Qi Talisman’ to find the place, he didn’t hesitate and charged in!
Firstly, a martial artist’s dignity couldn’t be violated; he’d been feeling incredibly stifled lately and needed to vent. Secondly, he judged that the enemy here wasn’t strong, or they wouldn’t have resorted to such a dream-based trick, and he easily defeated them! Thirdly, he’d taken precautions by contacting Jing Xia through Bai Ziling.
‘While calling the police and waiting for the Prevention Bureau’s action team is the best option…’
‘But I am a martial artist!’
‘Even if I won’t throw punches at stronger opponents, if weaker ones dare to provoke me, I must crush them severely!’
Contacting the Prevention Bureau was also a necessary measure. Even if Fang Xing cleaned up the scene perfectly and the authorities didn’t know, the mastermind behind these people would certainly know it was him, leading to endless retaliation! This was an entire Evil God Sect!
Even with his confidence, Fang Xing didn’t think he could withstand the subsequent revenge. Therefore, using official power to gain protection became the optimal choice. After all, he was indeed a good, upstanding student! He had recently received strong support from the school and Xia Long’s favor, and proactively reported the Evil God believers, naturally placing him on the side of righteousness.
He had planned all this on the way here; now, he only wanted to kill.
Zheng!
A sword’s shriek caused Guo Peipei to fall into a trance. She thought back to her childhood, as a bio-human, watching other natural children playing with their parents in amusement parks, while she could only stand alone outside the fence, a wave of sadness washing over her…
The two generals, however, were only slightly stunned before recovering, each letting out a bestial roar, with strange tattoos appearing on their faces. These tattoos seemed to wriggle slightly, carrying a mild mental pollution and impact!
Sizzle!
In an instant, their clothes burst open, their fingers transforming into claws as they lunged at Fang Xing.
Fang Xing swung his Ink Pattern Sword, a sword light spreading like quicksilver, the sword energy freezing cold, instantly filling the entire living room.
Puchi!
The two beast-like Evil God believers were confident in their physical bodies, extending their claws to grab the Ink Pattern Sword’s blade.
Fang Xing naturally wouldn’t be polite; the sword light repeatedly slashed at their claws. Then…
The vicious claw was sliced open like tofu. The Ink Pattern Sword, unstoppable, swept across the general’s neck.
Pu!
A head flew off, the general’s body collapsing heavily to the ground. The other general, upon seeing this, showed fear in its eyes, roaring as it rushed towards the nearby window. But in a blink of an eye, Fang Xing caught up, piercing its heart with a sword.
Bang!
Fang Xing delivered a flying kick, sending the general’s corpse flying against the wall, where it slowly fell… He sheathed his long sword and turned to see Guo Peipei, finally seeming to snap out of the Exquisite Emotion Sword’s influence.
“No… don’t kill me…” Guo Peipei trembled as she spoke. She couldn’t imagine Fang Xing being this strong!
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Fang Xing smiled faintly, looking towards the window.
Woof!
With a dog bark, a bully dog with demonic flesh wings burst through the window, swaggering in. Upon seeing the two generals lying on the ground, a look of utter bewilderment appeared on its canine face.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, a dark figure slid in on a hoverboard through the broken window. Jing Xia, wearing a black uniform that showed off her stunning figure, glanced at the blood sacrifice ritual on the ground, and disgust appeared in her eyes: “Evil God believers, as expected… Hmm, and two generals? Did you take care of them?”
“Yes, they attacked me with dream-based abilities, and after I woke up, I followed a faint sensation to find this place.” Fang Xing answered solemnly, as this situation was very possible.
“Oh? It seems you have mental abilities; perhaps you could become a ‘Spiritualist’ type of Professional in the future…”
Jing Xia nodded and released an arc of electricity. In an instant, Guo Peipei’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
“These Evil God believers, as long as they’re conscious, are capable of causing huge trouble, so subduing them into unconsciousness is the best way…” Jing Xia explained, then looked at the corpses with disdain: “Generals? Looks like they’re from the ‘Gate Sect’; being able to take them down, you’re quite strong, little brother. You should join the Action Department…”
“Generals?” Fang Xing expressed his confusion.
“Cannon fodder of the Gate Sect, most of them consume what’s called ‘God’s Blood,’ actually the mutated blood of Evil God’s minions… These two have semi-minion characteristics and possess slight mental pollution properties. Even if you’ve cultivated an A-grade martial art, you’d better get checked…”
Jing Xia examined the wounds, then thoughtfully looked at the long sword in Fang Xing’s hand: “Little brother, you have a good sword.”
“Um…”
Fang Xing had already prepared to reveal the Ink Pattern Sword; he’d just say he’d gotten it from killing a black market martial artist. Federation citizens aren’t that imaginative; at most, they’d think it’s an alien artifact. After checking it for Evil God pollution and finding nothing, the attention would quickly drop. As for the technology behind the artifact? The Federation doesn’t understand a lot of technologies… After all, many alien technological paths differ from the Federation’s, some even require special racial talents to develop, so the research value of many alien technologies isn’t that great; a sword isn’t really much.
‘Even if the Prevention Bureau wants to confiscate it, let them. I don’t care…’
‘In fact, this is a test.’
‘If the Prevention Bureau is like this, then this Federation isn’t worth much trust; I need to prepare to treat another world as my main base of operations…’
‘But according to the original owner’s memories and knowledge, the possibility of this happening is low…’
“Yes, this sword is…”
Fang Xing was about to say something when he saw Jing Xia impatiently wave her hand: “We at the Prevention Bureau only deal with Evil God-related matters; your sword is none of my business… Don’t bother me with such trifles.”
With Jing Xia’s knowledge, she could see it was just a sharper alloy weapon. Everyone has their secrets; as long as it’s not related to the Evil God, she’s too lazy to investigate further.
“In short… thank you this time. I’ll send you a commendation later… Although it won’t add points for college entrance exams, it’s still useful in high school; it’ll add some scholarship money.”
After finishing with Fang Xing, Jing Xia shouted towards the door: “You late-arriving trash, get in here and clean up!”
Many members of the Prevention Bureau’s action team entered, silently cleaning up the bodies and handcuffing Guo Peipei before carrying her away.
When Fang Xing saw the body parts being carried out from the kitchen and bedroom, he fell silent. Although he didn’t consider himself a good person, seeing such a scene was still somewhat uncomfortable.
“Evil God believers, they should indeed be killed!” He sighed. “The key is why they’re targeting me? I think I need protection… And, what is the ‘Gate Sect’?”
“Evil God believers like to corrupt Prevention Bureau personnel; you might have been targeted because of this. Of course, it could also be because you’re too outstanding…” Jing Xia confidently patted Fang Xing’s shoulder: “Relax, kid… Once the official power intervenes, the Gate Sect will only be able to cut their losses; they won’t have time to bother you. As for information on the ‘Gate Sect,’ I’ll send you some later; although the security level isn’t high, remember not to spread it around…”
