170: Blue and white background, one-star non-commissioned officer!

Strange ripples instantly appeared, and massive amounts of energy vanished like a mud ox entering the sea.

The entire world seemed to slow down all at once, enveloped by the power of the Dao, forcing everyone into a rule of double time flow.

In an instant, Xia Qi's energy was emptied!

He replenished his energy immediately, then looked around.

This was Xia Qi's first time using Time Jump in the Great World; before, he had only used it in dungeon spaces, so he hadn't realized how terrifying the Time Jump talent was.

But now, after activating Time Jump in the Great World, the time flow of the entire world changed!

Everything within his sight that could move seemed like a slow-motion movie to Xia Qi, moving very slowly.

In this state, Xia Qi seemed to perceive the existence of a profound Dao.

"Great Wind Rise!"

Wind Wings appeared instantly, and a strong wind rose from his feet. Xia Qi lightly stepped, his figure vanishing upwards, appearing before the Abyssal Devil in a blink.

A grotesque Abyssal Demon appeared in his line of sight.

It had a dog-like face, a large mouth split to its ears, and dense, canine-like teeth.

Its body was covered in black fur, and on its back were a pair of repulsive fleshy wings.

"Is this really what you look like?"

When he clearly saw the Abyssal Devil's face, Xia Qi's first reaction was disgust.

Secondly, ugliness.

Because it was truly ugly to the depths of the Soul.

It was like a beast, yet like a dog, yet like a hybrid monster.

"You..."

Under Time Jump, although the Abyssal Devil reacted, it spoke its words slowly, as if skipping a record.

"A dog's mouth can't speak human words. You can go die!"

Under the double time flow, Xia Qi's speech was remarkably fast. The Abyssal Devil hadn't even understood yet when a Sword Qi began to flash.

Sword Skill: Lightning Flash!

Swordplay: Butterfly Glow Swordplay Second Form!

Sword Skill: Demon Slayer!

Almost simultaneously, three sword skills were unleashed, and rapid lightning flickered quickly.

Dancing butterflies fluttered with the wind.

Continuous Qi and blood slashes fell wildly!

Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of fatal death crises descended upon the Abyssal Devil's body.

It inexplicably felt immense fear.

Its dog eyes spun frantically, mustering all its strength to try and block the extremely fast and deadly sword light.

However, its body seemed very slow. Its consciousness had clearly given the command, but its body had not yet moved.

Its thoughts had flickered countless times, but its muscles simply couldn't react.

"Don't... kill... me..."

The Abyssal Devil was scared, terrified. It screamed hoarsely.

But in Xia Qi's ears, he only heard the first word.

Even if he heard it all, it would be impossible not to kill it.

The Abyssal Devil wanted to escape, but it suddenly discovered, to its surprise, that a second strange thing had occurred.

Its will had clearly told its body to escape quickly.

But its body reacted a step earlier.

Not only did it not escape, but it rushed towards the sword skills Xia Qi was unleashing!

Passive Talent: Hundred Percent Empty-Handed Catch!

Ah ah ah ah~!

A scream from the depths of its Soul rang out. The Abyssal Devil completely didn't understand why this Human Race possessed such a bizarre ability.

However, it didn't need to think anymore.

Merciless, violent Sword Qi and light instantly erupted within its body.

Hundreds of sword marks suddenly emitted a bright light.

Elemental Power, Sword Qi, energy... erupted within its body.

Bang!

Like an exploding balloon, it detonated amidst a burst of light.

Under the sword skills, the Abyssal Devil died on the spot.

A rain of blood fell, severed limbs scattered everywhere, and the time flow returned to normal.

[Killed Level 40 Abyssal Devil, Experience +5,000,000, Military Merit +50]

[Obtained: Devil Blood Essence X5]

[Obtained: Devil Teeth X10]

[Obtained: Abyssal Demon Sword X1]

[Devil Blood Essence: Contains the power of the Abyssal Demon. Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, and other sub-professions, can use its power to forge items.]

[Abyssal Demon Sword (Platinum Rank): Strength +1000, Agility +200, Physique -200, Sword-type professional skill amplification 40%, usable after Level 35.]

"Though ugly, it dropped some good things."

Xia Qi stood in mid-air, a faint smile on his face.

Both the Devil Blood Essence and the Abyssal Demon Sword were rare good items.

The Abyssal Demon Sword's attributes were stronger than the Level 28 breakthrough equipment, and it would be a good piece of equipment once he reached the required Rank.

As for the Devil Blood Essence, it could not only be exchanged for military merit at the outpost exchange but also for academic credits and points in Shengjing.

It could even be used to craft equipment and items himself, making it a very valuable Material.

This wave was not a loss.

His feet gently landed. When Xia Qi reappeared on the ground,

all the people and monsters present were collectively in immense shock.

The Low-level demons stopped their actions. In their eyes, the Abyssal Devil was their Dominator.

It died in just a blink of an eye?

Then what were they?

Useless?

The moment the Abyssal Devil died, they fell into confusion and bewilderment.

It was much the same for the Human Race soldiers.

Seconds ago, they were fighting for their lives, delaying their deaths.

How did the pressure suddenly disappear, and when they looked up,

the Level 40 Abyssal Devil in the sky was dead, and the spatial Ban was gone.

The Low-level demons in front of them also stopped attacking, looking confused.

What... what was going on?

When everyone recovered, they looked at Xia Qi, whose clothes were spotless, and the blood-stained longsword in his hand.

Only then did they realize.

It turned out that, in such a short time just now, this man in front of them had saved them all.

The assassin trio was sitting on the ground, panting.

The horror in their eyes had not completely disappeared, and thoughts of bewilderment and shock followed.

If Xia Qi hadn't killed the Abyssal Devil just now,

in a few more seconds, the three of them would definitely have been torn apart like rags by the Low-level demons.

Good heavens!

Thanks to Xia Qi!

If it weren't for Xia Qi, they would all have died here.

Wait a minute...

Something seemed off. Weren't they here to kill Xia Qi?

What should they do now?

Kill or not kill?

The assassin trio fell into self-doubt.

Xia Qi took a sip of energy water, looking at the still-stunned combatants on the field.

Without a word, he unleashed Butterfly Glow Swordplay again, slaughtering these Low-level demons.

These were all military merits; he couldn't let them go.

Boom boom boom!

Under the gaze of the Human Race soldiers, Xia Qi alone slaughtered hundreds of Low-level demons.

Until... only Human Race remained on the scene, with not a single Low-level demon left.

At this moment, the gray military badge on Xia Qi's shoulder was emitting a dazzling blue light.

A blue and white background, one star!

This was a one-star officer's badge...
