Chapter 1028: Deadly Acupuncture Point! Sparks Fly!
"He actually didn't run, and instead stopped to wait for us?"
"Kid..."
"Looks like you're pretty confident in your own strength, huh!"
Seeing the opponent didn't flee saved them the trouble of chasing.
The leading middle-aged Professional revealed a smile.
Hmm...
How should he put it, he had seen many arrogant, conceited Ascenders like this.
Because most of these Ascenders were used to being high and mighty in the lower realm, when they first arrived in the upper realm, they hardly knew how to keep a low profile.
They thought they were still in the lower realm.
He especially liked killing these self-important Ascenders.
"Boss, what do you say? Although Lord Will ordered us to kill these people, the chicks beside him are pretty high-quality."
"If we send them to the brothel, feels like we could fetch a good price..."
A shifty-eyed Professional sneered maliciously.
His pair of eyes filled with malice swept repeatedly over Chang Yue, Yun Man, and Meng Shuang.
And to be fair...
Each of the three girls had her own charm.
Chang Yue's gentle sensuality.
Yun Man's cold pride.
Meng Shuang's cute liveliness.
No matter elsewhere, in a place like Kost City, these three girls' looks, figures, and temperaments were definitely top-tier.
Put them in a brothel, and they'd definitely be top stars.
Who knew how many Professionals would go mad over them.
In the upper realm, different cities had different laws.
Kost City allowed the existence of special industries, and slavery was generally accepted in the upper realm.
The so-called slave system applied to those vagrants without identity passes.
Professionals without identity passes usually came from remote and desolate villages.
And to get an identity pass, these Professionals had to pass a trial.
You heard that right...
In the upper realm, there were only two ways for a Professional to get an identity pass.
First, if your parents and ancestors were legal citizens, you naturally inherited that status.
Second, pass a trial.
Of course...
Strictly speaking, there was a third way—connections.
But how could a vagrant with no ID know big shots?
Or rather, would a Professional with connections really lack an identity pass?
At present.
Selling someone like Ling Zhan and his three beast girls to a brothel—even the True God Tribunal that governed the upper realm's laws wouldn't bother you.
Because they're vagrants without passes.
The shifty-eyed Professional's gaze finally landed on Chang Yue's chest.
He couldn't help drooling.
As someone who liked mature women, Chang Yue's looks, figure, and aura were just his type.
"Boss, give me this one, yeah? I'll treat everyone to three days of feasting at Kost Hotel!"
He grinned.
"Heh!"
"Nice plan you've got!"
"You get your fun, then sell her to the brothel and make a fortune. Compared to three days of food, that's nothing."
"You think we're stupid?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
"These three girls all go to Lord Will!"
That middle-aged Professional was loyal.
"Alright, enough nonsense! Get moving, don't waste time!"
He waved his hand and coldly ordered over twenty subordinates.
Whoosh!!
The subordinates didn't hesitate and charged at Ling Zhan!
They didn't even bother casting buffs or defenses.
"Master, leave this to us."
At that moment, Yun Man stepped forward.
Chang Yue and Meng Shuang stared coldly at the charging Professionals.
In their eyes, these pathetic weaklings were no different from corpses.
Perfect…
Their hands had been itching.
Back during the Ascension Trial, they'd wanted to fight too, but their master was too strong and soloed the Holy Light Guardian.
Although these Professionals were also over level 300, their stats weren't nearly as high as the Holy Light Guardian's.
Only around 200 billion in total stats.
Four times weaker than the Holy Light Guardian.
Even though they were higher level.
Maybe because the Trial dungeon was special.
After all, even monsters of the same level can differ in strength based on dungeon difficulty.
That Holy Light Guardian must've been the hardest difficulty version.
So its stats were so over the top.
As for these Professionals before them…
One look and it was obvious they were average, mediocre talents. Already middle-aged, barely over level 300, they'd probably die stuck in this Fourth Cosmic Sector.
But...
They likely wouldn't even get that far.
Because soon, they'd all be corpses!
"Hmph! Just a mantis trying to block a chariot!"
The leading Professional sneered at the three divine beast girls, only around level 190, thinking they could take on his 300+ team.
But…
He couldn't laugh the next second.
That shifty-eyed Professional was the first to accelerate, fully using his [Voidbreaker·Rogue] class advantage, dashing straight toward Chang Yue.
His race happened to be Ratfolk.
Ratfolk had racial talents that boosted speed.
And their classes were all agility-based.
Assassins, Shadows, Nightstalkers, Rogues, etc.
This Ratfolk clearly wanted to take Chang Yue first.
Whoosh!!
Like a shadowy meteor, he appeared within a meter of Chang Yue.
"Heh heh! Babe! Get on your knees!"
As he taunted, he circled behind her and stabbed a dagger toward one of her pressure points.
'Deadly Acupuncture Point'!
A signature Rogue control skill.
Backstab and hit different pressure points to inflict varying control effects.
He aimed for the one with the longest stun duration.
If he landed it, he'd have ten whole minutes to toy with this beauty.
Plenty of time for anything he wanted.
But…
Reality was cruel.
When his dagger touched Chang Yue's back—Clang!
A bright spark burst out with the metallic clang.
Everyone watched in shock as his dagger failed to pierce even an inch, like stabbing solid steel.
"What the..."
All the Professionals were stunned!
"Not good!"
The Ratfolk's heart was suddenly gripped by fear!
