My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Sudden Attack

“Hmm?” The priest’s spirit was invigorated, and his dark eyes couldn’t help but look over. “Who is it? Who!?”

The reason he invested so many resources into Southwind City was for that delicious soul.

“Su Chen!” Zhou Xian replied, almost grinding his teeth.

He himself was a Tier 3 professional. Although he had become an Heituo Cultist, his strong mental resilience still allowed him a certain degree of autonomy in his thinking.

His hatred for Su Chen, who killed his son, was still fresh in his mind.

“Su Chen?” The priest’s initially excited face gradually darkened. He was not unfamiliar with this name, having ruled him out as a suspect long ago. He frowned, “How could it be him?”

“Isn’t he a Faceless Ghost follower?”

“It must be a mistake.” Zhou Xian also paused, some doubts still unexplained, but there was already very strong evidence:

“He passed Ying Feng’s test unscathed and was taken in as a student by Xia Hanshi. He definitely isn’t a Faceless Ghost follower.”

“I’ve heard of Xia Hanshi before. For him to forcefully take someone as a student, their talent must be Crimson Gold. He is very likely the delicious soul that the Holy Lord covets.”

“Was I actually deceived?” Hearing the evidence, the priest’s face turned grim. “The target has been right under my nose the whole time.”

He hesitated briefly, then looked 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’ll have to overturn this place.”

“Zhou Xian, there are still a few areas where the sacrificial array hasn’t been completed. Go quickly.” He ordered.

“Yes.” Zhou Xian hesitated, wanting to ask if there was still hope for his son’s resurrection.

But for some reason, after seeing the Heituo Statue behind the priest, that thought suddenly vanished.

Compared to finding a delicious soul for the Holy Lord, what was his son’s resurrection?

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. The Holy Lord will surely be pleased.”

But in an instant, the priest’s face suddenly changed drastically, and he looked up at the sky!

Boom!

Golden flames fell like meteors, ripping through the shantytown roof above him. Intense heat assailed him.

“He’s actually here!?”

Not far away, Yang Yan’s heart trembled.

Xia Hanshi looked down at the priest sitting cross-legged on the ground, revealing a sinister smile, “I’ve got you!”

“Xia Hanshi!?”

The priest’s face on the ground was fierce, both alarmed and incredulous. “You, how could you possibly find this place!”

Only he and Zhou Xian knew about this plan. Zhou Xian had already become an Heituo Cultist and wouldn’t betray him.

“Because of the help and reminder of a righteous person.” Xia Hanshi’s meaning was unclear, and his gaze fell on the Heituo Statue behind him, then followed to the oil-like patterns.

His face instantly turned cold and his killing intent soared, “A sacrificial array… Damn it.”

The priest’s heart was filled with extreme shock and anger. The sacrificial array was not yet complete, but he had put a lot of effort into it, and now was the most critical time for stability.

One day, just one day was all he needed!

How could Xia Hanshi find this place?!

…

Boom!

“What, what is that?”

Zhou Xian, who hadn’t gone far, suddenly felt the ground shake. He looked back and saw golden flames covering half the sky.

“Xia, Xia Hanshi!”

He cried out in alarm, “How could he find this place? Did the priest… betray me!?”

“Holy Lord!” He instinctively ran forward, but then stopped abruptly, his veins throbbing. “No, if I go now, I’m just sending myself to my death.”

“The sacrificial array is incomplete, the priest can’t escape, and the Holy Lord can’t descend, but…”

He looked in another direction, his face gradually darkening, “Perhaps this is also a rare opportunity.”

…

“My dear brother, my dear brother! You must come home with me today.” Sun Tai stood at the door of the room, pulling Su Chen’s arm and refusing to let go, saying repeatedly, “Your sister-in-law has cooked a table full of delicious dishes, just waiting for you.”

“If you don’t come back with me, I won’t be able to explain it to her.”

These past few days, Sun Tai had been in high spirits, feeling confident and satisfied.

He had ascended from the head of the Internal Affairs Section to one of the two Deputy Directors of the Supervision Department.

His former boss had become the City Lord, and Little Brother Su had become a student of the Chief Justice. Although Director Yuan was a bit dejected, he secretly smiled a few times.

Not to mention the other Deputy Director, even Du Jingming, the appointed Director of Supervision, had to give him some respect.

The reason, of course, was because of the young man in front of him.

“Since you insist… I’ll come along then.” Su Chen found it hard to refuse such hospitality. He went back to his room, tidied up a bit, and changed his clothes.

As they walked, Sun Tai chattered on, “Staying in your room all the time will make you bored. You should go out more. What’s the point of improving your professional level? Isn’t it for a better life?”

Su Chen chuckled, walking and talking, “I haven’t reached the point of enjoying life yet. When I do, don’t worry, brother, I won’t miss out on any of the enjoyment.”

The two boarded the elevator, and Sun Tai nodded, “Ah, you’re right. Life is short. I’m a Tier 2 professional, so I’ll only live a little more than ten years longer than ordinary people.”

“However, our former City Lord’s methods are truly ruthless. His brother’s entire family has been imprisoned and sent to Ying Feng.”

“If he wasn’t ruthless, his family would be the ones imprisoned.” Su Chen said calmly.

“Indeed.” Sun Tai sighed with some emotion. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a violent roar, and a grating creak came from the elevator shaft. The elevator rapidly plummeted.

Su Chen’s expression changed slightly, and he instantly stabilized his body. Sun Tai also reacted quickly, his fat suddenly tensing as he gripped the metal elevator car with both hands.

Sun Tai’s body continued to shrink, his plump figure quickly transforming into lean, bronzed muscle, and his clothes became loose. Su Chen saw Old Sun’s combat mode for the first time, quite surprised.

Boom!

He saw his arm violently pierce through the elevator car and into the wall, and the descending elevator abruptly stopped.

He didn’t know which floor it stopped on, but Sun Tai, with brute force, tore open the elevator door, and the two dashed out.

“Damn it, the elevator can also have an accident?” Sun Tai cursed, but then he saw Su Chen’s serious expression. Only then did he realize that the warning lights in the corridor were flashing non-stop.

Rumble!

Another roar, and fierce electric arcs spewed out from the elevator shaft, instantly filling the entire floor.

“Someone dares to attack the Supervision Headquarters?” Sun Tai looked astonished, dodging the spreading electric arcs as if they were snakes, but he found with surprise that they didn’t have much destructive power.

“Su Chen!”

A shout echoed from the elevator shaft, endless. Su Chen’s expression changed slightly, “Zhou Xian!?”

This guy’s timing was too coincidental. Old Xia and the others had only left a short while ago.

No, it must be that he discovered Old Xia and the others were gone, so he quickly came here to attack.

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

“You’re asking for death!”

But an angry roar also came from the elevator shaft above, and green flames surged down, fiercely colliding with the lightning.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness Director Du is here…” Sun Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen frowned deeply. Du Jingming was forcibly employed, and in terms of direct combat strength, he shouldn’t be a match for Zhou Xian.

Rumble!!

A violent collision erupted in the elevator shaft. A strong wind howled, carrying electric arcs and lightning, and burst through the elevator door cracks into every floor.

“Su Chen!” Zhou Xian roared again, as if in a frenzy.

“His state seems very wrong.” Su Chen didn’t hesitate, turned and ran, with Sun Tai following closely behind.

“Don’t even think about running!”

For some reason, even though Zhou Xian was still downstairs, he seemed to be able to perceive Su Chen’s movements.

Boom!

With a sudden thunderclap, scarlet electric arcs suddenly appeared on the surface of the green rope Su Chen swung, spewing out.

Snap!

Azure electric arcs and scarlet lightning intertwined, and the surrounding walls were blasted open with a huge hole. Zhou Xian, who hadn’t yet fully materialized, was directly dispersed, and the energy ripples continued to spread.

“Wow!” Sun Tai felt a chill down his spine. At that moment, Su Chen’s move made him shiver all over. If it had landed on him, he would have most likely been carbonized.

“Careful!” Sun Tai exclaimed, only to see a thick arm, condensed from electric arcs, violently smash towards Su Chen’s side.

As his thoughts churned, the green scaled armor covering his whole body rapidly stacked on his shoulder. [Wind and Thunder Barrier] attached to it, and indigo elements surged.

Bang!!

Su Chen was directly sent flying, smashing through the walls on both sides, with smoke and dust flying everywhere.

“Brother!” Sun Tai’s eyes were about to pop out.

“Zhou Xian!” Du Jingming arrived just in time, and scorching winds surged out, dispersing the surrounding electric arcs.

“Cough cough…” Su Chen stood up shakily, but only coughed a few times. Compared to the last time he was beaten to the point of spitting blood, this time he was merely knocked flying and didn’t suffer much injury.

“Brother, brother…” Sun Tai rushed over and helped Su Chen up. Seeing that he was fine, he let out a sigh of relief, also clicking his tongue in wonder.

If it were him, that blow would have killed him.

The gap between ranks was like a chasm.

“He’s actually… unharmed.” Zhou Xian’s figure gradually solidified, and it was clear that his breathing was much more rapid.

Transforming into an electric arc for rapid movement was clearly a considerable burden on him.

His arms had actually grown back. Su Chen looked at Zhou Xian’s perfectly intact arms.

“A fine set of armor…” Zhou Xian, on the other hand, saw the green scales under Su Chen’s damaged clothes, and his expression became even more furious. The last time the opponent was able to escape was probably because of this armor.

But this time, his injuries had recovered, and he still couldn’t kill him in one blow. Was this armor a Tier 3 item?

“I’ll try my best to stop him. You guys run quickly. Others should be coming to support us soon.” Du Jingming stared intently at Zhou Xian, blocking the two of them, and whispered.
