Chapter 651: Why Does My Profession Panel Have an Anime Art Style?

"Tch, what rotten luck!"

After muttering a few curses in the secret passage, these great divine ability seekers could only order their disciples to be more careful.

As for those mortals—

If they died, they died—what did it have to do with them?

On the other side.

Sensing that vague threat in the unseen, a cold glint flashed in Li Ang's eyes.

It seemed his luck wasn't bad—the fellow on the other side hadn't affected any key figures of this era; otherwise, the punishment of the law of karma would have struck down long ago.

'Truly, ignorance is fearlessness.'

Li Ang didn't even dare imagine how ruthlessly the law of karma would strike if it affected the one who had created the theory of relativity.

Looking at Xiang Yuyin, whose expression remained calm, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

Seeing the battle grow ever more intense, Wumingzi naturally couldn't continue to sit on the sidelines.

Although its true body wasn't present, fortunately due to its divine ability, it wasn't completely without combat power.

"Dasheng, lend this master your puppet!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for the black-haired girl's reaction, the pale-blue owl phantom had already plunged headfirst into the puppet beside her.

The next moment, a burst of blue light erupted in the eyes of the originally unremarkable puppet soldier, which then charged headlong toward the white-haired man at the center of the battlefield.

"This master has arrived!"

Seeing this, Xiang Yuyin's body faltered slightly, and a purple figure abruptly condensed beside him.

【Outer Manifestation of the Gate of Realms】!

As a great divine ability practitioner of the Jiujie Sect, he naturally knew this divine ability.

And the effect of 【Outer Manifestation of the Gate of Realms】 was also very simple and brutal—it could condense an external incarnation.

It was somewhat similar to 【Blood Body of Returning Heaven】, but its essence was vastly different.

Just as Wumingzi assumed Xiang Yuyin intended to use this divine ability to block it, it suddenly noticed that purple figure rushing rapidly toward the gray-haired youth in the distance.

'This bastard! Bullying the weak with the strong—how utterly shameless!'

As this thought flashed through its mind, Wumingzi's speed didn't slow in the slightest, looking every bit like it didn't care whether Gao Haoguang lived or died.

Such a bizarre situation made Xiang Yuyin feel a sudden sense of foreboding.

After all, based on what had happened earlier, the master of the Thousand Mechanisms Hall should be very concerned about that youth's safety.

This was bad!

The next moment, the pale-blue owl phantom instantly broke free from the puppet and slammed viciously into Xiang Yuyin.

That's right—from the very beginning, that puppet had been Wumingzi's diversion!

As cunning as it was, how could it possibly control a puppet refined by a minor divine ability disciple to fight against another great divine ability practitioner?

It wasn't a fool—everything had merely been to activate its natal divine ability!

【Soul Lease in Progress】.

A natal divine ability with a strangely-sounding name, but its effect was very simple.

It allowed Wumingzi, through this divine ability, to swap primordial spirits and divine abilities with a designated target.

Seeing that it was about to make contact with the white-haired man, a flash of excitement gleamed in the owl's eyes.

Although it didn't know what this bastard's natal divine ability was, it would soon be its!

And Li Ang, having read the original work, naturally knew what Wumingzi's natal divine ability did.

Therefore, the moment he saw it abandon the puppet body, he had already realized what the master of the Thousand Mechanisms Hall was trying to do.

If the plan succeeded, he was confident he could take down Xiang Yuyin in an instant.

Unfortunately—

Xiang Yuyin, as the next sect master of the Jiujie Sect, was ultimately not as easy to deal with as Black Bamboo.

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately began driving his 【Tribulation Transcendence Stage】 at full power.

The next second, as the owl phantom plunged headfirst into the white-haired man, an extremely blinding blue light erupted across the field.

Boom—

A gale howled past, making the surrounding trees rustle noisily.

A moment later, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone lay scattered about the ground.

At this time, Li Ang, hidden within 【Heaven's Center】, looked at the scene outside, and a rare hint of surprise appeared on his face.

'What is this situation!?'

And the reason his reaction was so intense was because—

Everyone's primordial spirits, including Bai Xiaoxiao's, had been swapped.

At this moment, the girl was no longer in the body repaired by Li Ang, but inside Hu Dasheng.

As for where Hu Dasheng had gone—

Inside that puppet body.

Through the field of view provided by 【Great Luo Penetrating Observation】, Li Ang quickly matched everyone up one by one.

Bai Xiaoxiao→Hu Dasheng, Zhao Yan→Jin Miao, Wumingzi→Zhao Yan, Jin Miao→Bai Xiaoxiao, Hu Dasheng→puppet, and—

Xiang Yuyin→Gao Haoguang, Gao Haoguang→Xiang Yuyin.

"."

At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became extremely strange.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at each other, falling into silence one after another.

Unlike Li Ang, they simply couldn't tell who was the enemy.

Aside from Xiang Yuyin, everyone present was his enemy, after all.

Of course, this was not the most critical matter right now; the most critical was

He discovered that beside the teenager he now possessed, a token floated in midair, and within it, a black-haired man was frowning at him.

"Who is this?"

Though puzzled inside about the other's identity, Xiang Yuyin showed no sign of anomaly.

Just as he was pondering what to do next, a voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Wumingzi, dispel the divine technique," said Hu Hu Dasheng (Bai Xiaoxiao), "I've found which body the bastard is hiding in now."

"Isn't that right?"

As she spoke, the black-haired girl glanced toward the gray-haired boy nearby.

But before Xiang Yuyin could refute, a weak voice chimed in: "Director Guan, I think we should be cautious—after all, everyone's current identities are still unclear."

At this moment, Hu Hu Dasheng, controlling the puppet, looked at her own body and felt like crying without tears.

Her body!

Yet facing her doubt, Li Ang merely chuckled lightly, then said: "I have a way to prove my identity."

Before anyone could react, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared behind the black-haired girl.

It was the 【Huitian Xueshen】.

Seeing this, Wumingzi inside Zhao Yan's body shrank his pupils sharply.

What's going on!? Why can this guy still use his own divine technique!?

Though he had never encountered such a situation before, 【Yuanshen Zulin Zhong】 had indeed activated—logically, the other should not be able to use their original techniques!

Unfortunately, this Director of the Qianji Pavilion did not know that the true owner of the 【Huitian Xueshen】 was Li Ang, not Bai Xiaoxiao; otherwise, he would not have been confused.

But now was not the time to dwell on this—since the other had revealed his identity, his words carried credibility.

That means the dog from Jiujie Sect must have been swapped into the little one from Sanzhenfa Sect.

"Tch. Even a clever fellow like me made such a mistake."

The plan looked beautiful; reality was brutally thin.

In Wumingzi's original plan, the other should have been swapped into the puppet—but fortunately, there was still time to correct it.

As long as he killed the other at the instant of the swap back, he could still achieve his original goal.

At this moment, Xiang Yuyin knew he had been exposed, so without hesitation, he manipulated the cultivation energy within him to activate the great divine technique talisman in his hand.

Since he was already in a desperate situation, he might as well risk everything.

Damn it, this kid was too young—even his primordial divine technique had not awakened.

Seeing this, Wumingzi shrank his pupils sharply.

"Dog!"

Without time to think, he immediately dispelled his primordial divine technique.

Yet just before 【Yuanshen Zulin Zhong】 was deactivated, Xiang Yuyin hurled the object in his hand straight at his own body.

Forcibly interrupting the great divine technique talisman's operation would inevitably cause backlash—but to him, it meant nothing, since this wasn't even his body.

As a metallic sweetness surged into his throat, the gray-haired boy spat out a large gush of blood.

The next instant, in a flash of pale blue light, everyone instantly returned to their own bodies.

At this moment, Xiang Yuyin felt the malice surrounding him, yet his expression remained utterly unchanged as he reached for the bloodstained great divine technique talisman nearby.

But just as he was about to touch the golden-red talisman, a blood-colored hand seized it tightly in its palm.

"You don't think I know what you're trying to do, do you?"

Hearing the voice at his ear, Xiang Yuyin's deadpan face—unchanged since his arrival—finally betrayed a flicker of shock.

Li Ang, watching the slightly uncomposed expression on the white-haired man's face, slightly curled his lips into a malicious smile.

Having read the original work, he knew the other could inflict harm on someone by self-mutilation after obtaining their biological sample.

Thus from the start, this great divine technique user from Jiujie Sect had likely already decided to use this method to kill the Wu Dao Ji Fa Demon Lord.

Unfortunately, Li Ang had seen through everything long ago.

The next second, before Xiang Yuyin could comprehend how his plan had been exposed, the right fist of the 【Huitian Xueshen】 slammed violently into his face.

Though the 【Tribulation Transcendence Stage】 can transfer damage, there is still a limit.

Facing the vicious wind rushing toward him, Xiang Yuyin's body instantly bristled with goosebumps.

This is bad!
